I have a Oneplus One phone running CM11S. I am not a fan of the basic Google email app that runs my exchange email. I actually like the email apps that are available on the LG G3 or the Samsung S5. Is it possible to load their Email APK onto my phone running CM11S to handle my exchange account. I found the LG G3 email apk but can not get it to install.
Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

Many system apps can not be used on another phone as you wish.
If it will work, you need to put it in system/apps folder, fix permissions to match the other apps there (rw r r), then reboot and see if it works. That is the only way, if it will work.

When I receive emails on my Inspire, any jpeg attachment is automatically downloaded. I have searched and cannot find any settings that changes this behavior. The attachments download to the phone even if I do not open the email.
Any help appreciated.
What email app are u using?
I use Gmail, K9 mail and Secure-9 mail, and none of them download to sd card/phone unless I tell them to.
K9 and Secure-9 do download full emails with all attachments with total size upto 2 MB cos of my settings but that's stored within the mail app itself.
I posted a couple of times about this and could not find a solution. Regardless what email app you use, the stock inspire email app always downloads the pic and sends it into your photos and SD card. I think its a flaw in the OS.
Now since I am rooted and running a custom ROM, I don't have this issue but for some reason it use to bother me to know end.....
Never tried before I rooted but with Gmail, I have to click download before it stores it. It doesn't even store it when I preview. In K9, I have to click save.

Stock Email App with Comcast
We are using the stock email app configured with Comcast. Nice to know this is not just happening to me and there is no fix. I am new to the Android team and have not considered Rooting the phone. May be an option if this is the only fix.

Use a different email app dude. Why do u want to stick to stock email. There are better choices like K9 mail, etc.
I'm looking for a way to replace my Samsung GS3's contacts app with an ASOP style app (CM would be best for me). I used to run CM but through a long story my phone was returned to stock and had the 4.3 OTA installed on it. I'm stuck now.
I managed to replace the Samsung Email app with the CM 10.2 version of same and thanks to Google releasing their Calendar app on the Play Store I just disabled S Planner (hate it) and use that. The only one left is the god-awful contacts app. I tried using the same process I did for the email app, which was to wipe data and remove the Samsung email apps accounts and then use Titanium Backup to uninstall it. I then went and put the Email.apk file from CyanogenMod 10.2 in its place. Worked like a charm for email but the contacts app keeps telling me there is an error with the package when I do this.
I also tried using both Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk but that didn't work either. Anyone have an ideas? The problem is no matter what I do the system won't recognize Contacts.apk as an app and list it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm pretty sure the contacts app relies on the phone app as well to work properly. You might be better off trying to find a contacts app from the store that is similar to CM
Ok... suffice it to say I hate the stock client that comes installed on the G3. I tried following the directions here: https://smyl.es/how-to-install-andr...om-rom-or-older-versions-of-android-download/ but for some reason that didn't seem to work. Do I need to root first?
a
I first moved LGEmail.apk and LGEmail.odex from /system/priv-app. So yea im rooted.
Then i installed Exhange.apk and Email.apk (downloaded them or copied from my nexus4, cant remember)
And it worked.
If you don't need Exchange you don't need to do anything, just install the Google Email .apk (there are several ones that differ slightly, search for the "Google Play Store Email apk" to find the one with the slightly more user-friendly install interface).
I have NEVER been able to get Exchange to work with KitKat. Could not do it on my previous phone (HTC One X), can't do it on the G3. It just fails to connect to server. There are numerous threads out there claiming that this is a Google issue, and I tend to believe them because every one of the phone OEM email apps that runs under KitKat works just fine with Exchange. Also, anything that is 4.3 or earlier works fine, but those apps don't have the email threading, which is the main thing I miss in the LG email app.
Hi, is it possible for someone to package up the Samsung email app into an apk and then install it on a different branded device, in my case a OnePlus? I need to use MobileIron to get my corporate emails on my phone but MobileIron only supports Samsung's email app or otherwise I have to use Touchdown. Touchdown might be the worst email app ever invented. I'm hoping someone can help me install the Samsung email app on my phone. I don't need root or anything like that. I don't mind MobileIron, I just mind using Touchdown. Thanks.
Samsung apps require Samsung's TW framework to be in place for the app to work. That is why no one has ever gotten Samsung apps to work on AOSP ROMS--the dependencies just aren't there. I'm sorry but you'll have to install another mail client.

Thanks for the quick reply. Apparently the email apps from HTC and Motorola will also work. Would these have the same issue or any chance those could be used?
There are absolutely NO other email clients in the Play store that work for you? I find that hard to believe. I'm not saying you are lying, but I just find it difficult to believe Samsung email offers something that no other software developer has duplicated (besides Touchdown).

It's a limitation of MobileIron which is one of those device management programs. They limit which email apps work.
I love many things about my new Galaxy s7 however the native mail app is NOT one of them... So I thought I would share the CyanogenMod built Email.apk and Exchange2.apk files I pulled from an older rooted phone as replacements. The CM email app is my favorite as it is simple and very fast for IMAP/POP accounts and supports auto push for IMAP unlike the AOSP version. These files are from CM 13 (Android 6 Marshmallow) and all credit for their packaging and development goes to that amazing community - beyond the AOSP provided base of course
To successfully install don't forget to first turn on "unknown sources" under Settings/Lockscreen and security. Exchange2.apk is only needed to connect to Exchange servers. All that is needed is to download and then click on from your file manager...
As a helpful side note you can disable the native email app with Package Disabler Pro (or similar) app.
Enjoy!
The email doesn't work.

Hmm... what about the email does not work? Did it not install? Did you get it installed and you weren't able to set up an account?
Assuming you have the option to allow apps outside of the Google Play Store to be installed set to yes in your settings...
Neat. It's a reskinned GMail app in every way.
Looks good. Thanks for this
My solution is similar. I sideload Exchange Services, and that lets me use Gmail as my Exchange account's client. I subscribe to the Exchange Service's PB channel so I know when updates hit.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-6-4-123892212-release-android-apk-download/
I have disabled my built in app
Installed exchange services
But failed to install the email apk as I got a message that it will update my existing built in app and then fail
I have oppo r7 plus phone running color os
Any advise please
I froze all things Google and am running Google free. This was helpful forward that endeavor
are the EAS security settings disabled on the Exchange.apk?
