Your thread title is misleading to thread searchers and isn't descriptive. Change it.

auto sync gmail

Has anyone gotten their gmail to auto sync? Has anyone gotten facebook to work?
Yeah, Covered it in one of the threads in dev:

Actually, the sync settings are still technically there... you just can't get to them from amazon's settings app. I found an app in the market using another device called "sync settings" that basically just shortcuts that settings window - and now I have sync working perfectly.
Syncsettings: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.francesandmarky.android.syncsettings
APK Attached.

Thank you for your help!
There is an easier way.
1. Open the gmail app
2. Menu -> Accounts (do not select anything yet)
3. Menu ->Account settings

Hahahah. Nice Find!

I have also noticed that gmail sync mysteriously turns off and I have to switch it back on in the menu. The problem is I have already done that but it turned itself off again. I don't know if it is CM7 bug or Google issue.

For that one go into the Calendar and select Menu>More>Calendars. You should see a list of all your calendars associated with your gmail account. You'll have 2 options for each one: Sync and Visible. Give it a minute or two to load everything.

I have gapps.zip but see no calendar app. What's it's full name?
Edit: yeah, definitely no calendar app, just the sync adapted

Share menu

Lots of apps want to populate your "Share via..." menu and from the reading I've done, Android provides NO way to edit the built-in menu. I did try a 3rd-party app that you could add/remove, shuffle entries, etc but some of the stock Samsung apps use their own share menu (mainly, Gallery) and I didn't like the inconsistency.
Of course, one way to remove items from the menu is to remove the app itself ! That leads me to my question.....
Why are apps that are NOT installed showing up in my "Share via..." menu ?? I have Picassa and Backup+ Media in the list but the apps are not installed. I suspect there's some non-obvious app-helper that's putting these here that I missed when de-bloating.

It has to do with it being coded into the package installer. There should be a mediauploader.apk that registered Picasa to be available for uploading. If you delete or freeze it, it might go away. I'm not exactly sure what would happen, but I know that's where it's located.

mediauploader.apk ? It is only for Picassa ?
Edit: Moved it and that took care of Picassa. Now to find the Backup+ helper app...

Reset Gallery app as default after camera update

Hi,
I installed the new camera app update but didn't like it so uninstalled the updates on the Play store to get the old camera app back. Thing is, now when I take a picture and click the little preview on the top right corner to see it, it takes me to the Photos app instead of the Gallery app. This wasn't the case before I updated.
Is there any way I can set Gallery back as the default and stop previewing my pictures in Photos?
Thanks.
I'm stock, unrooted btw.
I've never used this but If you go to Settings > Apps then the menu you get "Reset app preferences" select that ( option to cancel or reset) and it says the reset includes "Default applications for actions"
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately that didn't work

I'm afraid that doesn't work either. Thanks for your help though.
Can you see Photos in settings > apps? I thought it was a component of Google+ and clearing the defaults for that may do it.
Disable Photos and Gallery is the only option.

I've disabled Google+ so as to disable Photos but that still hasn't worked

How would I go about re syncing it to my Google+ profile? When I click on the pic it says local only. I'm not sure how or showed up before. Feel like such a noob asking but cannot figure it out.

[Q] Remove Email App Icon in Android 5.0?

Just wondering if it's possible to remove the Email app in 5.0?
I think it's stupid that all the Email app does is tell you to use the GMail app for all accounts. I got and understood that the first time i launched Email, and now I'd like to remove the app (or at very least the Icon) if possible.
Thanks!
Disable the app
Edit: From the app drawer drag up to app info and then choose disable.

Thanks for this! I am having the issue now where my exchange emails don't give me a notifications. I have changed it where it should be showing but they don't. Also my messages are not being pushed automatically either. Any help?
Thanks!
