Samsung Mail, Social Hub and Samsung IM

Disclaimer: I take no credit for this. I am just posting it here to bring it to the attention of more Galaxy Tab users as I found it in another forum purely by chance and I know some Galaxy Tab users are looking for it. I believe these apps are available and distributed freely by Samsung (correct me if I am mistaken) so there should be no harm in me posting them here
You can now finally have the fully functioning Samsung Mail, Social Hub and Samsung IM apps running on your Galaxy Tab. These apps provide seamless integration for virtually any kind of email account (including my company's very tightly guarded Exchange server!). The three apps bring together all your email (all with super-quick push mail) and IM into a unified inbox that is very easy to navigate through and provides very tight integration with the Tab's Contacts and Calendar apps even giving full activity history with your contacts in similar fashion to HTC Sense (though perhaps not as sexy)
You can get more info from the official website here:

Install the apps as ordered by filename then reboot for good measure
----
If you are having issues getting it to work you can try the following:
1. Install Seven.apk (attached below)
2. Put UnifiedInbox.apk (attached below) in /system/app/ using the following code:
Code:
adb push UnifiedInbox.apk /system/app/
3. Reboot
This should get it working and you can then update to the latest version using the first two files

Still no luck. Now it just sits spinning with "In progress...." but eventually times out with "Connection Failed" or "Your action took too long to complete and timed out. Please try again."
I was able to run the previous version of Samsung Mail without any trouble. Successfully connected to Exchange Servers without issue. Seems this new version is not going to work for me. Thanks.

problems installing
The unified inbox app wont install for some strange reason
Also there are tiow versions of the seven app
the one in this forum seven.apk and one in an other forum com.seven.apk (which is much larger)
I think the seven.apk needs to be installed over the com.seven.apk

Maybe can try Mercury Messenger or Trillian for Android. Both these apps work prety well; only problem is they are battery drainer. Samsung IM on the other hand pushes so theoritically less battery usage but it doesn't update friends list as often. Problem I faced with this IM is when I logged on to MSN and a friend logged on few minute later, the list is not updated; hence, IM show my friend as not logged on (offline). Mercury or trillian on the other hand updated it almost immediately. Anyway, it could be just me.

To be honest I haven't had that lag issue...
One of my favourite features about Samsung IM is that it is real-time push as you said...
The only [strange] thing I've found is that my Favourites group only includes 1 of the 6 people that are actually in the group (I haven't changed this recently so it's not a problem of the update taking time to reflect)

Is there an easy way to push apk files with abd. I searched for a tutorial for how to use it and i can't find one with easy instructions.
I used it when i first got my vibrant but with all of the aio tools i forgot how to manually push the apk.
If anyone have any suggestions kindly let me know. Thanks

I found the easiest way to push and pull files (via ADB) is to use Android Commander.

NEW 11-18-11: Version 1.1.3 with working rotation is now available.
★☆★ THE VERSIONS POSTED BELOW SHOULD WORK ON ALL ANDROID DEVICES ★☆★
Original OP and more info Post #2

So I saw the new commercial for the Droid Bionic with the hot kickboxer chick accessing files, music, videos on the fly from her computer. After I figured out what app it was I tried to go to Zumocast.com to get it, only to find that only the Droid 3 and Bionic were supported. I tried to find the apk (since it would not show up on the market) and install it only to get an error saying "not installed" After some digging I found a previous version that works perfectly with the current desktop version. Edit: Now all new versions are being patched and posted below.
This is not cloud storage, Zumocast lets you open/save your files and stream music and videos from your computers to your phone or web browser.
Files downloaded using the app at stored in /sdcard/download/ZumoCast/... [downloaded tab now works in ver.1.1.2]
Thanks to user: dodava for all his work!
Be sure to thank him! Here: http://goo.gl/YAFFC
Change log: Version 1.1.2 [with rotation]
Dodava's:
Disabled: device check
Disabled: upgrade check
Disabled: some Motorola specific items such as Data Saver mode check. These didn't affect functionality but did fill up logs with error messages.
Disabled: check of carrier video over 3G restrictions
Enabled: auto rotate of video playback
Changed: settings used when playing flash video to allow flash to use hardware acceleration if it supports it on a platform.
Zumocast's:
Fixed: Cannot open file if no SD card is available
Fixed: The Downloaded folder can not be opened in Files tab
Fixed: Allow unknown artist/album to be played
CyanogenMod users must have Adobe Flash Player 11 (or newer) installed for Video Playback to work.
Update via the Market or get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18758880&postcount=117 [thanks Arjs]
If your having playback issues (on any rom) make sure your flash player is up to date before you post here about it.
Please post if you have any problems/questions. (Include Device/Rom)

The one in the OP works perfectly on the ET4G, lol... Thanks... trying in a bit with my 3d.

Tried editing my build.prop to match a Droid Bionic and it still won't install Anyone have luck getting 1.0.25 to install or upgrade? 1.0.17 works fine but I'd like to use the latest version. 1.0.17 works fine obviously, but I'd like to run the latest version.

str8upx.. thanks, working good on my Evo3d. This is a great find and will be very useful.

Im working on getting the new version patched. Im not convinced it is in any way different or better though. Motorola bought Zumocast and I have a feeling all they did was repackage it and restrict its use to the Bionic.. Typical bull****. The main advantage I can see at this point is to remove the update prompt at start up. I understand the urge to have the latest and greatest but the previous version works perfectly and may be exactly the same feature/function wise.
I also tried build.prop edit with no luck so moving on to removing the market link.
On a side note the fact that Motorola bought the app and made it free for their devices works in our favor cause otherwise it would have been a $29.99 app.

Already one of the best apps ever.. been using it all day. I'd hit that thanks button a 100 times if I could, You rock. Thx!

Noticed the AndroidManifest.xml has a line indicating a dependency on a Motorola blur library. You may want to edit this and try installing. Then hope it doesn't really need blur.
I would try myself but I'm not near a computer.

Thanks for contributing.
I also noticed the <uses-library android:name="com.motorola.blur.library.home"/>
line in the XML. I removed it, recompiled the apk, and pushed it to the phone. It did in fact successfully install. However when I open the app I get "This device not currently supported.." So this is a step in the right direction. At this point I think changing the build.prop will work. Im going to keep working on the code tho and only post the apk if all else fails. Build.prop edits can have side effects and I would like to get this done the right way, especially since we have a working version.

What's so different from this than say.... drop box? Just curious

Dropbox lets you store your files in the cloud.

Yes the beta version was free but on their site it stated (I'm paraphrasing) "get Zumocast beta free before the full version goes on sale for $29.99"

No, that's strange, videos only play in landscape on my Evo 3D. If it still happens on 1.0.25 (once its working) I will take a look and possibly put out version with the rotation switched.

Came from the Portal, very nice layout! I like the indexing. It isn't detecting my external sd though, and want to know how I can help. I own a legacy device the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze, running CM11 Official. What can I do to help?

awesome dude, keep up the good work!

Works perfect on my Nexus 4, keep up good work!.

What an excellent application! With 64 GB of data and that much consisting of various file sizes and file types, this is a 'godsend'.

Please explain to me why this app requires Full Network Access?!

I have 2 others 3rd party file manager and all of them is using full network access. I think it is because they using bluetooth or wifi direct when we share files. Correct me if im wrong

That, and ads need network access as well.

Make a paid version then. Im tired of every app requesting full network access. Its completely unnecessary. At what point did we as a community accept this as the norm?
I would rather you release a free version with less functionality then a free version with ads that requires full internet access. If the app turns out to be usefull then charge a buck or two and people will gladly pay, myself included.

It is simple, as much you want to believe people can make money on android without ads, you are mistaken. Regardless of how well the app is, people are still not going to pay for it. If you find my app doing something it shouldn't, then report it. Thank you for at least looking at the app. I am sorry that it just for you. Is there anything else I could do to appease without removing the ads? There are only two ways to make money on android, people paying for them, and people using ads. Sadly, more money is still made on ads and not enough is made in paid versions. My app doesn't use the internet unless its the free version for ads. I can't thank you enough for the response. Have a great day.
I will think about what you have suggested and maybe I will remove ads and add in more pro functions. Anything you have in mind that would make this better then?

thanks for a very useful app. Note that it does not show on the play store, even when I search the store for 'fearch'. There is another app called fearch that appears to be something completely different.
in any case, I was able to download the apk and install it. but the link to the pro version launches the play store with an 'item not found' message.

Dead?
Can you explain why this app isn't available on Google Play anymore and why your website isn't working?
Is this Project dead?

How about offering a version with a slightly different name so as to be able to install both versions?
CatLog is still actively maintained so it would be nice to have yours installed and also keep up with the originals updates.

CatLog is not actively maintained. The project has been mostly abandoned and open sourced by the author in September 2012 (WTFPL!). He says he has no will to work on it anymore and he kindly open sourced so people like Quinny could take on it and have fun with it. He previously mentioned wanting to adhere more with the Holo standard (done!) as well as touch up the filtering.

I used "actively maintained" after going to the Play Store and seeing that it was last updated on December 13 2013, maybe something more subtle like still receives updates would have been better. I did not know that he said he didn't want to work on it anymore, the app still receives the occasional small update hence the reason for my request.
It also makes sense to slightly change the name (CatLog Holo comes to mind ) if Quinny plans to publish the app in the future since that name is already taken in the Play Store.
Sorry if I am being tiresome, I just posted here to see what Quinny's position was on doing this.

Question Pixel 7 Pro can't sideload apks

Hey so I have a bunch of older apks I prefer over newer ones from play store. I have them backed up. They have always worked on my Sammy phones. This is my first Pixel and I love it. I activated unknown sources and gave permissions to file managers and still it fails. I tried with a 3rd party manager (solid explorer) and it says app not compatible with this version on android.
But I have android 13 on my Sammy phone and it works fine. Anyone have a tip?
I also have play protect and device security off or deactivated

That sounds familiar. I recall some people on the Pixel 6 Pro claiming they couldn't sideload apps, but I never had any problem, and there were others who didn't have problems either.
Edit: You might want to search the titles of threads in the Pixel 6 Pro section for:
sideload

That sounds familiar. I recall some people on the Pixel 6 Pro claiming they couldn't sideload apps, but I never had any problem, and there were others who didn't have problems either.

It's easy to find:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This third search result down in this picture is the one I'm thinking of. Not positive if it's the same issue or not, since I didn't have the issue.

I had a nice read... but it's not exactly my issue. my apps are all paid. Maybe I'll just use the newer versions and delete the collection of old apks. I have from all the way to 2008 it takes up like 14gb on my laptop lol. I really did just prefer older versions before many apps were sold and then turned into an unbearable ad and spam machine

Any APK that uses accessibility features will no longer work, paid or otherwise.

Are you talking about the new A13 restrictions for accessibility and notification access? If so, you can bypass the restrictions by clicking on the 3 dot menu in the app info section.

Good to know that the option wasn't removed in final A13 because it's not present in A13 on my OnePlus 9.

Let us know if you figure it out

Can't install so can't get into a 3dot menu if it won't install. it's fine just decided I'll use the new apks from play store. not that big of a deal

I´m waiting for my P7Pro to arrive. But I was wondering if installing apk´s via ADB will work?

Jus to confirm.
I got the same Problem.
Wanted to install APKPure App. Not compatible.

Does adb sideload work? If it fails, it might give you a helpful error message that way. I haven't received my P7P yet or I would try it out.

this is what pops up with built in file manager
and with solid it shows another message
(I cut off name of apk)

Sideloading i believe worked but im not sure about it.

I´ll give it a try when my P7Pro arrives. Unfortunately it will first be in 1-2 weeks in Denmark.

Are you sure the apk you're trying to install is compatible with Android 13?
Maybe try another file manager like Mixplorer.

is it a 64bit ARM app you're installing?

Does the P7P drop support for 32bit native applications? I recall something along those lines being talked about, but it was supposed to be in connection with the upcoming pixel tablet.
Confirmed: factory images for P7[P] drop all 32bit ABI's. If a native application lacks 64bit, it will not work.

Will look into it I just got off work here in Germany
