Is there any way to remove the stock email apps. in the stock ROM of the N7? I want the only email app. on my N7 to be MailDroid Pro..
If the stock email apps. can be removed, is there any way to set MailDroid Pro. as the default email app.?
Best bet is freezing it with titanium backup. I think you need paid version.....but it is well worth getting paid version!!
I freeze email on my phone and n7 always.

No need to remove stock email app. You can just remove your account for stock email if you have already set it up one and then use another email app.
or if you really need to 'remove' the app, use a root explorer app and go to /system/app and remove email.apk
titanium backup will let you uninstall as well.
Ah ok. Installed Titanium Backup. Looks like it will let me uninstall the Gmail app. and the stock email app.. Are there any other apps. or system dependencies that require the presence of either of these built-in email apps.?
Is there any way to make MailDroid Pro. the default email app.?
You could just disable it in app settings. I have done this with several of stock apps that I never use.

You are probably better off just setting the default messaging app to be GoSMS, then hiding the native messaging app with your launcher. I found that removing some unwanted apps such as GTalk caused problems with others (mainly google ones)
I have Handcent and the CyanogenMod messaging apps and the both receive the same data and handle the same data, I only use handcent because the (quite older) ROM that I am using uses an old CM Messaging app which doesnt allow me to select from contacts.
If you do decide to remove the .apk's or .odex's be sure to back them up first before deleting them in /system!
Good Luck!
The answer is yes.
Hi
What is the best way to keep a backup of email account settings? I feel most of us switch ROMs and every time adding same accounts is very painful.
Please suggest best way to backup email accounts .
If you use a 3rd party email application then with Titanium Backup you can backup the email app(s) and associated data, which will include your account settings.
Titanium is a doddle to use and one of the most useful apps I've got off the market.
If you're talking about your google account then you have to re-add that for every flash anyway, so don't worry about it.
I have tried TB backing up
User Apps + System Apps
System Apps
Email app
But none of them worked for me..
Can you please suggest what settings need to be backed up.
What app do you use for email?
I am using Email.apk provided by Samsung Galaxy S2.
In that case, I think that gets backed up with system apps, which may be a cause for concern as system apps are sometimes not compatible from one FW or ROM to another, so you can't restore them without screwing up your phone.
If this is a major deal to you and you don't want to have to recreate your account(s) if and when you flash your phone with something, then I'd recommend looking into some of the alternative email apps on the market. I can't personally suggest any from experience as I use the gmail app and have all my other email accounts polled from that, so I only have to enter 1 account on my phone and it gets everything for me (only good for pop3 accounts though - not exchange or imap).
I do know that K9 gets recommended by lots of people though. Maybe that's worth a look.
Edit: I just checked Titanium, and the email app is listed as an app there, so you can back it up, along with associated data. That should do the trick
I always backup my email with titanium backup. Works perfectly with 2.3.3 moving from rom to rom.
I did have issues after updating to 2.3.4 but since I'm sticking with the newest fw I just deleted the old backup and made a 2.3.4 backup. Works great you just need to start the email app twice.

Hello all,
I have started using Aquamail because of certain limitations with the stock mail app on the G2 (one being that i cant find how to change the check frequency to less than 15 minutes).
Now that I'm using a different mail app, I'd like to disable the LG mail app. How do I do this?
Thanks!
You can use Titanium Backup to freeze the stock mail app.
Is that the only thing that will do it? Any way just using the OS?
Hey all,
I attached my gmail account to the gmail app in my rooted nook. Now, I'm finding that I'm eating a lot more battery life than I used to. I'm guessing it has to do with the work of syncing the google mail. The problem, is that in the app, whenever I get into the settings area for controlling the account, the nook reboots. I'm not sure why.
I'd love to disable the gmail app or otherwise keep it from updating, but I can't get at it from any menus on the device. I was thinking ADB, but I'm open to other ideas.
AN IMPORTANT POINT: I don't want to remove my google account from the device, because I'm loading apps via the Market that way. I just want to stop the gmail mail account app from eating my battery through it's activity!
Something is fishy about that Gmail installation. Maybe try reinstalling the app? Or if you used the GappsAttack (or whatever), just redo that.
Failing that, you can disable the apps (as I did when Gmail kept failing to send mail without deleting the accounts and adding them anew--a known issue with older versions of the app) by renaming the apk files as .old or .bak or something. To do that you will need a Root Browser of some sort (like the free app of the same name). Then go to system/app and there rename Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk
When I was using Gmail I had it set to check "never", meaning I could check manually when I wanted. Now that I am using the Email.apk provided by NFHimself here I have it set the same way and it works great--all the time.
Hello,
I would like to ask - how to disable build in calendar ? It's so annoying when I get 2 notifications (one from Google calendar and one from build in). In application settings you can't disable it totally even you can't disable notifications. When you disable account sync in build in it automatically turns off sync in Google calendar.
Anyone advice ?
PS. Stock Oreo, no root, no unlocked.
I turned off all the oreo stock calendar permissions and use google calendar instead. Works ok, no extra notifications so far. Could probably remove the calendar app with ADB if necessary. I did that with a bunch of stock apps in Nougat.
A better way would be to root the phone and delete/freeze it with Titanium Backup. But I'm a root kind of guy so that's just me. I cant imagine having an unrooted phone.

Some of us want a secure device for work use
I have mine on dual sims and run microsoft intune portal for work mode. No root for my A7, also use it for Google Pay and online banking.
If I just used it to call my buddies and watch porn them I'd probably look at rooting it
