Lost ability to add Microsoft Exchange account

I noticed I didn't have any work related calendar appointments so I went to sync the account then I found it had vanished.
I don't even have the ability to add it from the

The above is not there.
I may have uninstalled it using Titanium backup but I doubt it as I only removed known stuff like live wallpapers and other items I was sure of.
thanks.

Just go to Google Play get the official Microsoft mail application called: Hotmail Seven +, and configure it for Push, much more reliable than the stock mail client.

I'm trying to add Microsoft Exchange Server for work not Hotmail.

incidentally, if you're on exchange 2010 or office 365 then the mail client called touchdown ****s all over the stock client. Plus it will sync all the usual plus outlook notes...

I tried Touchdown but it doesn't integrate with the stock calendar.
Thanks so very much.

Hard reset device should bring it back.
Otherwise last option is reflash ROM.

thanks dr.ketan but those aren't options for me.
A friend rooted my device and set it up for me. That friend is busy and so am I these days. Flashing or hard resetting is difficult at this point.
Can't someone point me to the MS Exchange app so I can simply re-install it?
Thanks.

Try this first
setting - application - manage - All - Email - clear cache N data.
If not works
email.apk attached here

I get this error when copying it

You need root explorer, astro won't work.

Dr ketan,
I downloaded ES File Explorer but it didn't let me copy the file.
So i enabled Root settings in the settings of ES File Explorer then i also needed to Mount File System in settings to copy the file. I did that.
But it says file not Installed.
I dismounted system file but still doesn't let me install email.apk.
Thanks for your patience.

I m not familiar with es file explorer
But for root explorer, u just need to copy n paste to systrm/app folder you have to just press on w/r on top once before it.
Then long press on file n change the permission rw r r (just look othet apk there)
You need not to install, once you put file thr is enough.

dr.ketan,
I used root explorer and followed all your steps but it does not show up.
Still no ability to : add Microsoft Exchange account

Best to reflash a stock rom, and or the rom of your preference to get it back and be careful with removing stuff next time
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

starting from scratch is not an option.

@ketan:
email.apk is (in samsung roms) only the widget, there are also the "exchange services", which might be also important in this case.
also, which email version to choose (or for us: to provide) depends heavily on the OP's rom! if he is on ICS the GB email.apk wont work, even if he is on AOSP the stock samsung email.apk wont work, due to missing parts in the framework!
@OP:
if a data wipe is not enough (which i doubt, cause i guess the system app from /system/app is missing) you would have to reflash your system partition as well. then it should work again!

Many thanks for your detailed response.
I am running the following:
model #: GT-N7000
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: N7000XXLA4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-ver.3.2
[email protected] #3
Build number: Rocket-v19-XXLA4-eybee1970
I'm apprehensive about flashing or formatting because I am not very familair with the process.
A friend of mine rooted my device then installed rocket rom for me. I mean I know about it and watched him do it but to do it myself would require a lot of time. Then also I'll have to edit my device to get it to the way I want it... a hassle.
Why cant someone check what .apk files are needed for the exchange server on their device.
I will cross-check mine and the ones that are missing from mine will be added.
Should be as straightforward as that I think.
Thanks guys.

Hi guys,
Here i want to show my Rom Cleaner, its idea comes from => Here , so credits for the idea and the ini files i used as base belong to him
this app allows you to clean out unneeded crap and bloatware from your roms, before you flash them.
List of files to remove is about 100 different ones now.
i hope some of you will test this and provide feedback.
PS, program is coded in autoit, which some old AV's tend to flag, i'll offer admins a look at the source code if needed.
PS2, Only supports CWM type roms.
Greetz,
Damian

fixed bug with repacking >.<

I'm assuming course that it would course invalidate md5 checksum, and as a result there's no real assurance that the zip had been repacked correctly prior to flashing.

no, it wont pass that test, but seeying its a regular zipfile, you can always test the zip itself.

True. What about the repacking of system.img ?

this basicly only works on the CWM based roms, which are zipfiles, so i dont touch those

Ahh. Hrm odd I don't recall ever actually using a CWM based rom, every rom I've tried after CM7.2 have been mostly ICS roms, and every i've ever unpacked have had each of the partitions saved as img files.

yes that is weird, every rom i use can be flashed by cwm, and when unpacked, only bootimage is a img file, rest is folders and files.

Interesting idea, cool. So far, I've been deleting manually files from the zips. One suggestion, could you add someday ability to add programs into the selected ROM?
Or even better, enable user to create batch package/batch deletion of his apks/always-deleted-apks that could be added/removed with a single click to/from every consecutive ROM ? Just a loose idea.. Thanks!

you can allready do that, just place the apk's in the files/add folder' it allready has system and data in there, just make a apps folder and drop them in
good idea, ill let program save removal settings on exit, so it can load them when it starts

I'm afraid I don't follow. Drag and dropp doesn't work in any case. I tried dnd on apks, zips with structured folders or folders alone. Give me a tip

chech the program folder, in the files/add folder, are 2 more folders, data and system.
if you make an app folder in there, and drop your apk's in there, they will be pushed to your rom
example, 'files/add/system/app/MyTestApk.apk'

Ok, thanks for the advice! I assume that it won't push apks that aren't supported in removal? I'm talking specifically about Cerberus.apk - it is very advantegous to integrate the app with a ROM.

thats totally unrelated, any file you place there gets pushed, any file.

Come to think of it, I might actually be thinking bout backups I do recall a lot of roms do have the folders set where they're migrated to the existing filesystem.

true, CWM backups are img files

Very nice idea for a program. Is it limited to only roms for our device or literally any CWM flashable zips?

it works on all actually, but i only have HTC phones, so others arent much supported in the apk department, simply because i cant check them

google people app

When I first rooted my nexus 7 I deleted the google people app because I didnt have a need for it. I recently installed tablet talk and have realised that to get the names of my contacts to syc with the texts I will need to reinstall the app. Does anyone have an apk that will install? Ive been unable to find anything on the web so far.

On the Nexus 7, there are three apps that do that... Contacts, Contacts storage and Google contacts sync. There is no people app.

Did you not do a nandroid backup before messing around removing stuff? You could use TB to extract out of that or use other methods.

thats what i did, installed custom rom (paranoid) and also gapps (for 4.1.2) but no sign of "people" or google contacts i can find something in a nandroid backup using titanium backup, but not sure how much i need to restore to get a fully working "people"
i see these:
contacts
contacts storage
google contact sync
google acount manager
not sure if all are needed..

"People" is the display name of contacts - there is no people.apk.
If you use Google to store your contacts, then you'll need Google contact sync. If you have a Google account, then you need Google account manager. But I'm guessing that that it's already installed or you wouldn't be able to access Play store.
TB does not backup system apps, only their data. You will need to manually copy the contact apks. Then, on your ROM where you don't have people, copy the apks to /system/data, boot into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik, and reboot. You should have people back again.

Yeah, that's what your host file should have in it. Not sure why there was something else there. My only guess is that you installed a none Google play app that messed with it (I would say don't use that app, it's up to no good).

[HOW TO] Fix Dropbox on Android L Developer Preview

HOW-TO FIX DROPBOX on ANDROID L DEVELOPER PREVIEW​
This method worked for me, so hopefully it'll do the same for you as well.​
1. Download Root Explorer from the Play Store.
2. In Root Explorer navigate to:
Code:
sdcard/Android/data/
3. Delete the com.dropbox.android folder.
4. Next go to your device's root directory (/) and go to:
Code:
/data/system/
5. Delete the dropbox folder.
Just for safe keeping I booted into recovery and to wipe dalvik and cache, rebooted, reinstalled Dropbox and it's been working smoothly ever since.

I actually just managed to get it to work by only deleting sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android
didn't need root, didn't need to do anything in /data/system
Also didn't need to reinstall Dropbox either, it just worked first time after deleting that one folder

I tried the method in the OP a few times, but it didnt seem to work at first. Then I used QuickPic to upload some photos to dropbox, which worked like a charm. Now for some reason I am able to directly use the dropbox app itself with no problems. Not sure exactly what fixed it though. Kind of weird.

I was finding the same, nothing was working to get it fixed, but I could still access files in dropbox from other apps like ES File Explorer. However I really wanted the camera upload feature.
