I am running GummyChaged 1.8.1 and love it, but like stock email app and some other stock apps, how do I get them installed again?
The reason why I like stock apps is, it shows all my folders from hotmail apart from inbox and also allows customization, I have tried K9 mail and not happy with it.
I'd assume there would be a ROM for it but I haven't seen one that has individual stock apps, only a full restore, sorry D:
You could also check the Market(if you haven't already), that's about all I can think of.
Hi everyone!
I just successfully rooted my HTC Sensation 4G and installed cynogenmod (HyperSensation-CM7.1-v1.2).
Everything seems fine so far, but I'm confused about the default included 'email' app. Is this the google-made gmail program or something different? I expected once I set up my 'account' upon initial startup, clicking on this e-mail app would 'just work' and pull up my emails, but instead it started asking me for email account details.
Should I download 'gmail' from the market? Is that what I really want?
Also, I'd like the swype-like functionality back on this keyboard, but don't know the best way to get that back. Any help would be appreciated, as I can't post to the cynogenmod thread yet.
Thanks!
Most roms have 2 Email Apps, one is Gmail, the other is Email.
If you use Gmail for your email address (i.e. xxxx.gmail.com), then you should use the Gmail app which some Roms include and can easily be downloaded from Android Market.
If you use a pop email account, like yahoo or hotmail, then for those you don't use the Gmail app, but can use the other Email app. You can also download other Email apps from the Market, like K9 or Enhanced Email, for this purpose too.
Excellent, actually once I started 'restoring' from my google account, it downloaded gmail for me automatically and that's working like I expected. Thanks for the help.
Any idea on the swype keypad functionality?
I recently purchased the Moto G 4G LTE and have been having a blast with it. It was simple to unlock the bootloader, add TWRP, and root the device. It was also simple to unbloat the device since it did not have much bloatware on to begin with. Over all I am really pleased with my purchase.
I did change out the SMS app because the original was very bland. However, the email app was driving me crazy. So I spent a better part of the day looking at the available free email apps to see which one I would prefer over the stock app. I was totally disappointed when I found that all the apps I tried did not work well with GMail. Each app would fetch the test mail from GMail and then delete the mail preventing me for using Outlook to download the mail to my PC. No matter what I tried, the app would either delete or "mark as read" and my Outlook could not retrieve it.
It seems the only email app that worked in keeping the GMail intact was the stock email app on the phone. But I don't like it because it does not tell me if it is sync'ing with the server and downloading or not. So I have no way of knowing except if an email is download it will give me a notification. It won't even give me the last sync timestamp.
Anyone using an email app that works with GMail (retrieve but leave unaltered), AND, you can also download the email with Outlook?
What's wrong with using the actual Gmail app and syncing on your Outlook?
There's going to be a combination of Gmail POP3 settings and mail client settings that will determine if a message is deleted from the server or not upon retrieval.
I use the free version of Maildroid, it works great with what I use, being Outlook, MSN, and Gmail. Puts everything into one place.
I don't understand why, but the OEM email does not affect the mail on GMail. When I access the mail and download it to my phone, I can then access the same email from Outlook on my PC and download the same mail. But using other applications like K-10 and Aquamail, when I download the mail to my phone I cannot access with Outlook on my PC. So the other mail programs must be doing something that the OEM email app is not doing. Strange. I have also tried some different settings in GMail to no avail.
I cannot comment about the apps that you have mentioned, but providing the app that you choose uses IMAP then the various email clients should maintain synchronization with each other. @Darkshado mentioned POP3. I used to have problems with Hotmail using POP3, but since they implemented IMAP the problems have disappeared. I can confirm that Maildroid works correctly, you can choose in settings whether or not to delete messages off the server.
Thanks for the tip on Maildroid. That works for me. Much appreciated.
Glad to help. I just wish that is was cheaper, but I hardly notice the ad's at the bottom anymore
I am surprised the other apps that you tried have problems, I was thinking that you had made a mistake in the configuration or something. We learn..... Cheers.

I have added AdBlock and the ads are gone. The other mail programs had all the same options but did not do what I wanted. Very frustrating because I liked their aesthetics. But like you said, live and learn...
I use K9. It's open source and has pretty advanced settings to manage synchronization and server actions. It takes some to to configure, but that can be an advantage...
K-9 was another one I tested that did not work for me. Appreciate the response though. Some of these mail programs look really nice. K-9 was one of them, I just wish it would not molest the mail so I can download it later into my Outlook mail for archiving.
Hi, Can you tell me which Adblock is the best one to use. I find quite a few on play store.

I have used Adblock Plus for the longest on my Firefox browser PC and Tablet. So I went with what I know best, AdbLock Plus ver 1.2.1. On my free apps I see absolutely no ads. Wonderful.
Thanks for the pointer. Apparently it's banned from the Play Store, no wonder that I didn't find it. I did try another one called Adblock which is on Play Store and it seemed to do nothing at all. Anyway, I have been using the one that you suggested for about a week now, and you are correct, no ads anywhere. No wonder Google doesn't allow it! Thank's..
I updated my N5 to Lollipop by flashing factory image.
Now I can no longer add email accounts for use with the standard android email app, only the gmail app. I understand that gmail app wants to take over but at least I still had the option prior to the upgrade to choose either.
I preferred keeping those two separate for some of my accounts.
I tried disabling gmail in the hopes that this would restore the ability to add accounts to the email app but to no avail.
Any suggestions? Do I need to find a way to downgrade the email apk to get that functionality back.
Thanks

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?
