[Q] Remove Email App Icon in Android 5.0? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

Assuming Gmail? Open the gmail app in the app drawer, hit the menu button, select more and scroll down to "email notifications"

Email Custom Tone?

Hi,
Is it possible to have a custom tone for mail? I have got a tone working for texts but cannot figure any way to get custom message for emails........
Yes. Get the app called Zedge in the market. You can assign email, notification, ringtones...ect. They have alot of tones to download also.

With Zedge you can only assign as a notification sound, not just for mail. it plays for all things like low battery etc as well
Open the app in question and go into its settings, should be there

If you open Mail and go to settings/notification settings it only lets you turn notification on or off not asign a tone. I want something like "you have mail"
I have some on the phone but cannot find a way to asign it just for mail...
This is the stock mail app?

Yes.
New to Android, just changed from Windows........
Just set up the app and you're right - I assume it uses the stock notification sound as set in the sound settings. Bit of an oversight from HTC, there

Yes that is the only one I can get to work. If I set "you have mail" as the
stock tone it plays the same for ll notifications. I have set one OK for Texts..
I just use Gmail and you can set it for that so assumed it'd be the same for the other apps
When on your homescreen, press the personalize button. Scroll down, press 'notification sound' and choose email.

Is there any way to get the Asus email widget to open GMail instead of the stock Email app?

Menu in the top right hand of the screen (in the email app)
Click account settings
Add Account is in the top right hand corner.
Make it your default. If you have another email account setup, you may want to delete it. The widget will tell you the total unread emails across all accounts setup.

Already done that
I'd like to know if there's a way to make it so that tapping the widget brings you to the GMail app instead though
The stock email app isn't quite as good as GMail
@slient
I have the same question/problem
I think that's impossible because Google is blocking every connection with Gmail app. No app on the market can connect to Gmail! Even ASUS is not allowed to create an app that works hand-in-hand with Gmail... sadly...

Well, technically, the desired effect can be achieved by checking for unread mail the way it is now but tap action should just open the different app.

Ah my bad, I misread the OP.
Out of curiosity what features do you want the gmail app for? The only real difference I saw was priority inbox/starred mails support. I don't use that often enough myself to worry about it.

GMail handles labels better and has a bigger viewing panel
also the default email app doesn't string conversations together
Not impossible, launcher pro has gmail widgets that I use everyday on OG EVO and 3D EVO

i don't think it's possible, just use gmail widget

Notification Issues

Messages notifications work fine.
Third party apps however fail to notify me if I have a message/update in the app.
I may just need to fix the push settings but not really sure how. I just switched from a 4s
Which app are you using? Be sure to enable notifications in the app settings and disable the default notification in the stock messaging app.

It's not just one app, any third party app, whether it be a game letting me know it's my turn, or facebook it doesn't let me know when I have notifications until I go into the app.
But thanks, I'll mess with the settings

I don't have those issues.
The Facebook think I believe is by design. I only get notified if I'm tagged in a photo or something. I don't get pop ups every time someone "likes" my status, which I think is for the better. This is the same way on my Desire as well.

Messaging question help heeded...

Hi.
Get these 2 pop ups every time I click the messaging shortcut to access text messages.
First the android system one then the messaging one. They disappear when I touch them
This has happened since I wiped phone last week.
Any ideas how I get rid of it thx?
just done the latest update this morning and its no different.

What app do you have running to have the shortcuts? Or is that a lock screen?

Does it happen if you open messages from the app drawer too?
If not, delete the homescreen shortcut and add it again from the apps drawer
Also check default application settings, messages is set as default messaging app
