[Q] Stock email apk needed, please - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings!
I apologize for my first post being a request, but i have long benefited from the knowledge, creativity, and insights here at xda, and I am hopeful I can come here for some help with this as well. I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1. It's incredible. Only glitch is, for some reason, the stock email app (which I like very much as it is "identical" to what's on my Samsung Galaxy S5) is only version 4.1, even after all the updates, and not version 4.4.2.0400 like on my SG5. My main gripe is I really want to be able to a) use the stock email app on my tab pro; b) to swipe away emails. It's this latter point that I'm trying to remedy.
My tab pro is NOT rooted, nor do I plan to root it. I've done some sleuthing online for a while here and found information about JAR files, etc., all of which is beyond my knowledge. I am hopeful it will be as simple as someone being able to pull the stock email apk file from the SG5 and posting it up so all I need to do is install the apk file over top of what is already on my tab pro. If someone can help me with this, so my tab pro stock email version is updated to 4.4.2.0400 and I have the ability to swipe away emails, it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for this reply. I have indeed found those very same sites you link to (my thanks, regardless). The reason I asked was to see if there was a way to get it on here without having to root. Apparently that is impossible, then?
I may do some reading on rooting, but I'm not interested in deleting everything and starting over again. I rooted my old moto droid years ago without issue, but I've become a bit intimidated by the front end process setup on the computer to get that set. I'm sure there is a super easy 1 click root option or something. I'll do some sleuthing, again, but I welcome any help.
Still learning, and glad to be here.
Thanks!

Fair enough. But to clarify, I don't need to root the S5 but the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 to get this app on. Not sure if there is an "easy" root method for that that would allow me to not delete everything and start fresh again.
I'm honestly quite puzzled why this, even with the 4.4.2 update, doesn't have the same email version. And I really wish I had the S5 calendar and email widgets not a part of the magazine ux on the tab pro. I'm aware rooting can give me all this, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, especially when I read up and see other people having collateral issues.
Thanks!

Sorry my bad, didn`t read the whole post and thought you meant the S5 . As said above you need root to install/alter system files.

Samsung warranty after root/recovery/ROM?

After installing CWM recovery, kernel, root, and CM7 on a Vzw Tab, is it possible to fully restore it back to stock so that Samsung will honor the warranty?
Friend of mine's Tab is having some screen issues and the warranty expires in about two weeks.
Is it possible or is he SOL?
Thanks

Yes he can. There is a stock ROM EC02 that is flashable using a program called Heimdall. It takes you back so Verizon would never know.

I saw some posts about stock ROMs floating around, but wasn't sure that the kernel, recovery, and EXT4 could all be restored back to stock.

I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab and that link doesn't work for me. I've tried everything I possibly could to try to get this thing back to something I can use that doesn't reboot when I try to use the keyboard. I've done search after search and it never provides me with any information that's helpful to getting it back to a workable condition. I've come across the link above numerous times and I've tried to use those instructions over and over with no success.
I really think it's worth pointing out that constantly pointing people to these directions isn't helpful to those trying to restore a non-Verizon Tab. It's done zero good to me with my AT&T Tab.

But I clearly asked about a Verizon Tab and he replied with Verizon Tab-related info. That's a helpful thing.
On the other issue, the last thing you want to do with an AT&T Tab is try and use CDMA (Verizon/Sprint) ROMs. This is probably why your Tab is screwed.
Stick to GSM/ATT ROMs and you'll probably have better luck.
I've tried to find AT&T ROMs and none have worked so far.
Every time I search on this subject here I get sent to the Verizon fix.
I had the same problem, for some reason the older versions of Android that was posted on here haven't worked for me. Pretty much all the links provided in the instruction posts on turning the tab into a phone had Froyo 2.2 links. However I downloaded the Gingerbread rom 2.3.3 and flashed it and it works now:

Don't forget to reflash the radio you want.
Hello everyone!

Is it safe to update a rooted tablet?

Hi everyone
I'm a proud owner of a Galaxy Tablet. Recently I got a message in my settings that there is an update available. This is my first tablet so I'm not veru expérienced. My tablet is rooted. It crashed a couple of times but all in all seems to be working. My question is if it's safe to update. I read in the forums about phones being bricked and other problems with updating rooted phones and tablets. Is there anything I should do before installing the update to make sure it works?
Any advice is appriciated. Cheers.
In general, I would recommend against that.
At least you will lose root, or you may semi-brick your tablet.
Rather than update, I would suggest flashing to a stock Gingerbread ROM. It will be almost the same as an update, but you will still be rooted. Or you can go with a custom GB ROM like Overcome or BOCA. If you want to get the newest, I'd go with CM9/ICS. This gives you the brand new Ice Cream Sandwich. I'm enjoying it very much on my tab. I was hesitant because the theme engine is still not there, but someone suggested to me GO Launcher EX, and that thing works like a charm on CM9.
Was just reading about SuperSU that just came out and it can trick your device into thinking its unrooted, ie for updating stock firmware but bigz is right, there's a lot to be had with custom ROM's
Here's the link for SuperSU though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thank you very much people for your prompt replys. I only rooted my tablet to have an access to ad hoc wifis. I'm certainly enjoying Titanium Back Up and things like that. So I would like to stay rooted. Being inexperienced I sort of was more inclined to unroot it with a superoneclick then update it and then root it all over again.
Is it possible?
And I'm only trying to do it because I believe that the company's update is always the best. (Funny attitude for a rooted user, but I only understood it recently). Because normaly they do everything for you. So if I go with IT free spirited people then I will have a lot more questions.
* Are custom roms as stable and relyable as the official updates? Far be it from me to doubt the expertise of the guys who write them, I'm just really new to it.
* I understood from one of the posts that it might be even safer to flash a new ROM rather than do an official update. How does that work? I would like to understand before committing.
* And if I do a full back up with CWM (ROM included), does bricking bother me? I'm not very sure what bricking a tablet is.
I'll stop here with the questions not to be too heavey. My tablet: Samsung Galaxy P7310 8.9 WiFi only Honeycomb 3.1
Thanks in advance.!

There is no issue in un rooting your device and then upgrading it by keis and then rooting again and restoring your apps and data, Some apps may be incompatible with new version but you can check this in the market.
Just did this last week on my son's tab.
If you are running a custom rom then having a nandroid backup by cwm is advisable and if you don't like the upgrade then restore
If you run stock then you should upgrade via keis because you will get enhancements
Hope this helps. There are sticky guides on how to do this so would not worry as long v as you follow the instructions your fine.

Root Method Found for VZW Galaxy Tab 2 (I705VRBMI1)

Please link this to all the development threads in the Galaxy Tab 2 7'' section. This is my first XDA post and it wont let me post to a developer thread X.X
Anyways, I found through some digging a root method that works on the most recent build for the Verizon Galaxy Tab 2.
The original thread where this was discussed is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885558&nocache-1
but it is no longer up to date, and the OP doesn't own the device anymore.
The current Saferoot method works and the version I used is right here. All credit to developers, I just found the link on an S4 forum.
SAFEROOT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48392009&postcount=1
I really hope this helps guys, and I know there are others looking for this too; so please spread the word!
hi @videogamehawk79
i know this thread is old but I just got one of these devices for free and would like to update it to at least 4.4.4, 5.x or 6.x for my daughter.
you mention you successfully rooted using the method in the 2nd link.
Were you able to successfully install any version within the first thread?
Do you happen to still have any of the required files by chance as the links in the original thread are dead.
use kingo root for windows... it works link a charm (kingoapp.com)
is there any bootloader unlock for VRBMI1 firmware? i recently got a free tab, but seems like most stuff is already outdated.
Did you ever get the boot loader unlocked, so that you could install a new rom on your tab S2?
If so I'd like to do the same!
Thanks for any reply

Nope.
Ok. Thanks for confirmation ?
I breathed some new life in mine:
I stripped away unused apps;
Uninstalled all updates to bloatware (& turned off automatic updates in play store settings to prevent them from gobbling up app space again);
added a lightweight launcher (Holo);
lightweight browser with security features I hope are still worthy (dolphin);
Disabled both battery-saving settings;
and added fresh wallpapers which spruce it up too.
It's a fair bit snappier now.
I'm open to any tips others have employed on this device to pick up it's speed for some general use.

[HOWTO] Enable multiple user accounts on non-KitKat ROM

When I picked up my Note 10.1 2014 Edition (SM-P605) I was very disappointed to find that multiple user accounts had been disabled. A little research revealed that there was a US Cellular ROM in the past that had it enabled, but all other ROMs did not. Also, apparently the new KitKat ROM is going to have it. But what to do while we wait for Samsung to update our device?
Well, as it turns out, the answer is a lot easier than you might think, provided you have a rooted device.
Disclaimer: My device is the SM-P605 running P605XXUBMJA. I gained root using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root. Try this at your own risk.
Basically, ALL you have to do is add a single line to the bottom of your build.prop file in /system, as follows:
Code:
fw.max_users=4
I edited my build.prop using my file editor (Solid Explorer) after giving it root privileges. You can also do it via a terminal emulator or ADB. Reboot your device, and that's all there is to it!
After a reboot, I had the "Users" option under General in Settings, and I was able to add my wife as a second user. We can now switch users either from the lockscreen, or the notification pull-down. After reading countless posts here on XDA saying that it was impossible, I really was surprised at how easy it was in the end.
Hopefully this helps others like me that are impatiently waiting for the KitKat update so that they can share their tablet with family members / guests.
Enjoy!

I read this post and quite frankly you have every reason to point out Samsung's short comings. They have got to big for there boots and when you have paid for a product, irrespective how much, you have a right to a certain level of expectations.
Lets face it we all want upgrades otherwise we wouldn't be here on XDA and for a product as new as the Note 10.1 2014 we have a right to expect 4.4. No they are not "legally" obliged to give it but hey our next buy will then become some manufacturer that steps up for us...the consumer. Sony is my bet!
Hehe. Oh well, with multi user accounts now working, I'm less worried about the Kitkat update than before.

I was one of those idiots haha, tbh its not unreasonable but everyone knows samsung are **** with updates and many things but Oh well you have found a solution so alls good.
Being a Samsung owner for over 2 years now I have learned Samsung are the worste for this but have just learned to accept it, its probably daft of me to expect others to accept it too.

Just a quick question - I imagine that there wouldn't be any issue with future updates right? When the option will be added officially I mean (obviously OTA won't work anyway though, with a 'customised system' preventing normal Samsung updates)
Thanx a mil

While I can confirm this totally works like a charm, I am experiencing a weird issue. THE LOCKSCREEN
Its behaving strangely. When i change users (both pass protected) the lockscreen always keeps the previous user's wallpaper. Sometimes it also "freezes" for a couple of seconds and cannot enter pin or pattern.
Am I the only one having these issues?
Im just rooted with towelroot and supersu, fully stock
It works! SM-P600 4.3 in the UK whoop! many thanks!
Happy bunny, it's really saved the day, very poorly wife can now use it and I'll be able to hangout with her from our sons graduation (without me loosing all my work stuff)! Chuffed to bits!

Pokemon Go with Fake GPS on the S5 Verizon

Hi,
I bought a used a Verizon S5 hoping to play PoGo using Fake GPS. But I am unable to select a Fake GPS app in Settings. I am currently on 5.0 (version ending in BPB1) and checking for software updates on the phone fails. Presumably because I do not have a SIM in the phone as I would like to continue to use my iPhone. The S5 would be only on Wifi (or iPhone's hotspot) and used only to play PoGo.
I have read through (most of) the painiac's (excellent) guide and I am trying to decide what to do next:
1. Try to install marshmallow update (no root) and see if the option to select the fake GPS appears in settings
2. Root the phone and try several custom ROM's to see if the option appears
3. Sell the phone back and try another phone
I have flashed custom ROM's with older Android phones some 3 years ago. Modding scene has considerably changed since then and I find myself reading warnings and seeing dead ends (permanently locked bootloaders etc) everywhere. Any advice would be appreciated.
Let me rephrase the question. I can update to marshmallow 6.0 with images available on the internet. I will lose the ability to root the phone. But I may be able to run fake gps and play pokemon go.
Or I can try rooting it and then installing xposed or other frameworks to get the set up on lollipop 5.0 - which is root-able.
Which would be the recommended way for someone like me with mediocre android hacking skills and very little time?
Thanks.
Marshmallow will give you the option to make Fake GPS the default mock application.
However, Pokemon Go will not run on rooted devices unless you know of a workaround for that.

you've come to the right person asking this stuff lol I used to cover all that stuff daily on my yt channel. gained 2400 subs in 3 weeks due to posting my vids on other sites that allowed pogo hacks to be posted. was doing 3-4 vids a day.
AOSP based roms will not work on Pokemon Go. That leaves out anything like Cyanogenmod or anything compiled from it.
The only way i got POGO to work on my spare s5 (i use it for testing) was to flash back stock NI2, re-root with towel root, flash a TouchWiz based rom with SafeStrap, then delete the Root binary and anything SU related, basically unrooting my rom and backing it up manually and only putting em back when it was needed
There's probably better ways now, but for me this worked 100%
POGO isn't worth the effort in my opinion.

Thanks so much. I am currently not rooted and when I go to MM I cannot be rooted from what I understand. So I think I will do the upgrade when I have some time. I will lose the ability to root but I can live with that.

I agree on the effort comment, but I am not sure why you are rooting the device if it does not work on rooted devices? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to stay un-rooted and keep it simple and stupid?
Also, can anyone point me to a legit MM stock ROM? I have downloaded ODIN but I am nervous about the sketchy websites needing registration for downloading the ROM image. I need stock un-rooted Verizon ROM so I was thinking it should be easy to find. However I am not having much luck on the Googles.
Using Magisk 10.2 and the root bundled with it works. You just have to use Magisk hide which is now bundled with magisk.
I'm on vzw s5 running phoenix rom with root. Can still play pogo. No luck on xposed though.
Just a quick update. I got all the things in place for updating the phone to Marshmallow 6.0 and connected the phone to the computer for the first time. The phone gave me messages about installing software update agent and I followed the instructions. It offered to install the marshmallow update from verizon and I took that offer.
After the update, the option to select a GPS app showed up on the phone. I selected my installed app and almost everything works on pokemon go now.
I say almost because PoGo still jumps back to home location for a short second from time to time. But from what I can tell, the fix needs root. So I'll just leave good enough alone for now.
Thanks for all the help.

I agree on the effort comment, but I am not sure why you are rooting the device if it does not work on rooted devices? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to stay un-rooted and keep it simple and stupid?

i do so much with my devices that they need to be rooted. i do a lot of app debugging for my friend who makes games to help him out. i do have a spare phone that's not rooted for pogo now though. although htc m7's are awful haha

you've come to the right person asking this stuff lol I used to cover all that stuff daily on my yt channel. gained 2400 subs in 3 weeks due to posting my vids on other sites that allowed pogo hacks to be posted. was doing 3-4 vids a day.
AOSP based roms will not work on Pokemon Go. That leaves out anything like Cyanogenmod or anything compiled from it.
The only way i got POGO to work on my spare s5 (i use it for testing) was to flash back stock NI2, re-root with towel root, flash a TouchWiz based rom with SafeStrap, then delete the Root binary and anything SU related, basically unrooting my rom and backing it up manually and only putting em back when it was needed
There's probably better ways now, but for me this worked 100%
POGO isn't worth the effort in my opinion.
