[APP] IM Beejive Beta

I'm not sure if this is allowed, but since it's a direct link from beejive.com, I think it should be? I'm not actually in the beta.

If not, can a mod please delete the thread? Thanks

I might give it a try. I don't IM much these days but it's still nice to have a good client there for when you need it..
ATM i'm using the official msn messenger for android (without ads mod).

Do msn have official apps on android? What the name of the app?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

It's called MSN Droid.
Edit: Actually I'm not too sure if that's the official app, sorry.

still in beta and the UI is pretty good.
yet the function is rather poor.

No it's not msn droid.
It's official msn, but developed by PICA (chinese company http://www.pica.com/)

I'm don't think it's available in english market, so heres a link to the apk (it is a free app, not warez) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BALZ1U08
It is modified to remove ads (the official one has ads >_<)

Need to hide app icon in notification bar, its truly annoying.

needs work but pretty good so far...will be paying for it once it becomes available...

Nice
Seems to work pretty good. I like the ease. It does appear to be on all the time though but I've not seen a significant battery drop to warrant removing it. Really wish they would have opened the beta up for more people, I hated just downloading it but not being able to participate in bug posting.

Actually you can participate, Maybe not bugs, but fatal errors that cause the app to crash you can send email logs of when the app crashed directly to them. After the app has a force close it will ask you if you want to send the log when the app crashed to them by e-mail.

You have to rename the file to change it to .apk file. (at the moment it's named BejiveIM.apk.zip)
If you have file extensions hidden then unhide them and remove the .zip and save.

I was getting a "Timedout" and then "no client key" yesterday but the app started to work again late last night. I'm not too sure I like the size of the icon like others have said, but I do like its the most stable out of the clients I've tried without draining my battery.... much.

Palringo is way better

Agree! Reason I uninstalled after a few hours. Besides that the app icon seems larger than any of the others I have. But not being able to disable the icon in the notification bar is extremely annoying!!

Hi, Thanks for posting this. I used to use it on my Berry all the time . . . I installed it from your link & imo it's the best IM client out there so far & still Beta lol! The feature that lets you email the conversation or post to twitter is sic ;-)
I'll definitely be buying this app soon as it's out officially.

yeah this app isnt bad at all, it seems close to trillian it will come down to 5 things...
-features
-batterylife
-speed/lag between IMs
-reliable connection
-price (seems like trillian will be free)

email Client Signature "Sent From Tmobile..."

Anyone figured out how to delete it? Every time I erase the 'sent from Tmobile' crap it reverts back.

there should be a signature setting somewhere in the email app

Take it out of your Gmail
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

It does not allow itself to be removed in the regular imap email app. Annoying as hell. If u delete or change the sig it just reverts back to the T-Mobile sig.
Fortunately gmail app doesn't behave that way.
I gotta say that for a "vanilla" Android phone, T-Mobile really dug their nails into it. This ain't no nexus vanilla that's for sure.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

This is happening to me too and it is completely unacceptable. This is happening on my exchange email, I know I can use touchdown but I have to pay for that. This should not be like this.
Would it be possible to get the apk from the Nexus One email client and install it on this phone?

And me. I don't want this T-Mobile signature on my corporate e-mail account. Calling support right now...

Talked to support. After the usual basic steps she looked in the database and said "oh yes, I see others are having the same issue. It would need a software update from Google, and there's no timeframe for that".
Time to get hacking...

IMHO, this is completely unacceptable; I just discovered this today. I can't use this for my work email (we have to put in our own corporate disclaimer) if I can't change the signature. The only tedious work around is to to delete it every time I start a new email/reply and put in some shortcut to insert my actual shortcut. As a former BB owner, this is terrible, and this phone is going back to t-mobile right now. Might be time to bite the bullet and just switch to Verizon and the droid pro. Sigh.

Yes it's a stupid bug for sure. Glad I already paid for touchdown.

If you don't want to pay for Touchdown, there are others as good if not better than Touchdown for free. Just look for them.

Fixed the issue by replacing the email.apk file with the one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007

Can you tell me how you did this. I have tried to install the apk but it fails.

1) End the task of your existing one and click delete data/cache in manage applications.
2) Use Root Explorer and rename the old one in system\app to email.apk.old / make a backup of it
3) Copy the new one to system\app and click install

Thanks so much. No more signature! I was really bummed out about this one, but now all is good.

ahh, glad the directions worked. I had to work from memory as I initially tried the Gingerbread email.apk file and had to do a bunch of delete, uninstall, delete motions to get the one linked above to work.
No - the default Gingerbread version does not work. I believe the one above is based on the 2.3 code and does work. The black back ground is a lot nicer than the grey that the default client had.

This is the default email client and may work better for people that don't want to bypass Exchange security policies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041962

Awesome thanks...now I dont have to ask T-Mobile for a monthly fee for the advertising my emails were providing.

This is total crap!

How did you guys get around to renaming the original file? When I try it says insufficient permission. Looks like it is a read only file and am unable to change it.

You need root access.

Stock ICS Email App - Exchange Included!

As promised, here are the files and instructions if needed to install the stock ICS Email app. You MUST have root!
To install the Stock ICS Email app:
1. Turn off Fast Boot! Root your phone!
2. Install ES File Explorer and under Root settings, enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
3. Download attached EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk
4. Drop them into the System/App folder and reboot!
5. Setup your Exchange accounts and enjoy true PUSH EMAIL!
I recommend not using the Gmail email app and just setup your Gmail via Microsoft Exchange and add it to the stock ICS Email app.

Hmmm I'm not sure what I did wrong but I can't get it to work. I rooted my phone successfully, downloaded these two apks and dumped then in the app folder and restarted. But they don't seem to work. I keep getting "unfortunately email has stopped working"

I'm getting the same issue and I've made sure fastboot is off and unmounted the /system after.
Do I need to copy both to get exchange only?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Amazing!
Thank you so much for this fix!

This push bug is a PITA. This a guaranteed fix for near instant push emails?

In order for this to work, do I have to clear out the data from the HTC Stock Mail app and disable it first?

will this allow me to finally see exchange in HTML? the stock sense email app doesnt support HTML in exchange running version 03.

The phone got sluggish after I installed this until I disabled the HTC email app.
A nice bonus this does is that it enables you to ignore your Exchange Security Policy.

I had similar issues. You have to disable or at least clear data from anything else that uses Exchange. You can't have two mail apps using ActiveSync at the same time.
I disabled Gmail and the stock app, and uninstalled another mail I was using, then everything was fine.

Can't find the applications
Not really sure if i have done this correctly, but i have followed the instructions.
I have rooted the phone and dropped the files in system/app
But i can't find any new applications after rebooting. Trying to click on the .apk and install them the regular way doesn't help either (and probably shouldnt?)
I am fairly certain i have disabled fastboot but how can i be really sure of this?

I just installed this on my EVO 4G LTE and it works great! Figured I would give this a bump

II also have the same problem. No new email app after dropping them into system/app with Root Explorer. I have fast boot off and am running cleanrom 4.5.

Removed stock exchange/email apps?
Mount Write permissions? I use ES File Explorer. It's free so maybe try that instead...?

Odd. I've never had any problems with that, and I have to copy the two apks back into system every time I upgrade CR. Did you try rebooting?

Attachment size limit is low
I have noticed that the attachment size limit is 5MB or less.
Kinda weak compared to stock.
Anyway to mod it to get a larger attachment size?

Hacked Email APK for Exchange Security

Can remove thread thanks for the Moxier Mail tip, I ended up using this for my mail instead. But really I never installed the correct version as I linked the OG version and I had already set a lock so basically I did nothing to the original setup and installed the one on the thread that was not modified.

you don't install this apk, you have to rename the file to Mail.apk and then push (copy) to /system/app, meaning replace the current Mail.apk file. to do this you have to be rooted. the instructions in the first post list the prerequisites and how to install on your device.

Sorry guys I thought I linked the post. Use the download on post 147. It will install ad the apk no need to push it to system

to clarify, the zip you're referring is a "pre-hack" version of the mail apk.

This is all fine and dandy, but WAY against the usage policies of any company that enforces that security. As an Exchange admin, and one that takes data security seriously, I would not hesitate to disable access and report that behavior to management. Most likely this would result in termination. I'm not trying to be a downer, but those that use this need to be aware of the consequences.

Another option is to use the extendlocktime app from the play store. Works perfectly.

u're absolutely correct!! i don't use the hacked Mail.apk with my Corp/Company email, i use Moxier Mail. Moxier Mail has all the security features required by my company including PIN lock. my employer actually pays the license fee for employees that want to use it instead of the native mail applications. The BIG difference for me is that Moxier's PIN lock is applied to the application and not to the device itself.

[MOD] GS3 SecEmail.apk & Exchange.apk with Exchange Security Disabled

DISCLAIMER: If your place of employment's exchange policy requires the use of a pin, please be advised that use of these apks may be punishable up to termination of employment, as well as other possible legal action. Some companies take their exchange security VERY seriously and this mod is only for those whose policy does not require a pin but are unnecessarily prompted to enter one anyway. Please speak with your IT department before using these files as I will not be held responsible for any mis-use of this app or any collateral damage that may ensue. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. In the event you need to get back to stock, I have also posted stock apks below which will get you back to stock. Download the 'Return to Stock' link, unzip the downloaded file, and then just push them to /system/app/
Below is the Mail and Exchange apks for the S3 with exchange security disabled. This is for those who use exchange support at work, but who hate entering a pin or password every time they want to unlock their phone. Many of us use low-level security corporate exchanges that don't require a pin, so the apk files below remove that security.
1) Delete any exchange email accounts from your phone and remove any shortcuts to the mail app from your device
2) If applicable, remove any exchange administrators from Settings -> Security -> Device administrators
3) Download the 'Hacked Mail apks' file linked below. THIS IS NOT A FLASHBLE ZIP. The apk files were just too big for XDA's upload limit and so I had to zip them up and host them online. Once downloaded, unzip and grab out the 2 apk files inside (SecEmail.apk and Exchange.apk)
4) Mount your phone's system as R/W (either using Root Explorer or 'adb remount')
5) Copy the newly downloaded SecEmail.apk and Exchange.apk files to system/app/ via root explorer and overwrite the older file if/when it asks, or you can just push the files to system/app via adb
6) Set permissions on both apks as rw-r--r--
7) Reboot
8) After reboot, create a shortcut if you want and then open up the Email app and set up your corporate account.
7) You will be prompted to enable security policy midway through... this is normal so hit 'OK' and it will not ask you to enable security any further.
As previously mentioned in the disclaimer, you can use the Stock apks to get back to stock if you run into any issues. Just download the 'Return to Stock' link below, extract the 2 apks out, and follow the same process as above.
Donations always appreciated. Enjoy
LINKS:
Hacked Mail apks: http://d-h.st/8xa
Return to Stock apks: http://d-h.st/aAk

Not working for me. Still requiring me to allow all the bull**** permissions.
Edit: Never mind. I completed the whole process, and even though it says I must enable all kinds of ****, it doesn't appear to enforce anything. Never been that far cause the permissions are ridiculous. Still though, with Touch my BAMF 1.04 rom on my Tbolt, it never asks for any security in the email app. Well hope I don't get fired, but I'm already sick of having to login through my web browser.
Thanks.

I don't even have an exchange mail app on the phone now. Also cannot add an exchange account in settings > accounts.

Thanks for putting these APKs together for us eschelon!
For those having trouble with these, you can use the tool located here to patch the stock email apps.
Not as easy if as just pushing these APKs if you dont have ADB installed, but if you do then it is a piece of cake. When it asks you for the name of the email app, just type SecEmail and it should patch and reboot. When you enter your info into the patched app, it may warn you about security, but it wont ever go into effect.

Tried to post about this last night. If you are trying to do this you might as well figure out how to do it this way. I have used this method for a long time now on multiple devices. It works the best because it patches the APK's you have and not pushing different ones. Once you get it working it's a piece of cake.
It will still popup and say something like "Your Exchange server requires security measures" and you just click OK or whatever and it doesn't actually implement them. I can confirm it works on the VZW GS3 stock email app.

does this disable the remote wipe feature? anyone willing to test that?

Yes. What this does is change the code to show that you have security enabled when you don't.

I did this but when it booted it said "Android is Upgrading. Starting applications." I then went to use the app and it wanted to use the security.
Does it sound like I missed a step or is something special happening to me?

I get the the same as well. Followed the steps exactly and emailed the links to me from my dropbox to download to the device and used root explorer. Seems the files sizes are the same for both zips but that may mean nothing...
Do I need to try the other method... using the apk I still have to set a pin

For what it's worth, my Verizon phone came with an update sticker on it. Turns out it had a software update on it that has only recently has started to be pushed OTA. HERE is a blog post mentioning the update that I actually have. Nothing seems different to my wife's phone, which has the old software version.
Could it be a thing with Verizon? Are you also running VRLGL1 Parcou?

Is there a reason for the significant increase in the file sizes, between the original and hacked versions? Thanks in advance for the technical clarification.

Thanks! For those of you having trouble getting it to work with replacing the apk, definitely try the patch.

It works for a short while for me, then I get an alert saying exchange security has to be updated and once I do that it stops syncing.

Everyone should use that method. It's much easier.
---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------
The patch in post 4 does the same thing everyone else is trying to do manually. If you what the steps you can see that it's pulling the apps. Modding them. Then pushing them back to your device.
I am on CM10 right now and it asked me to specify some of my APK names. Others may have to use Root Browser to see what their apk's are named if you have issues. Also if you run into this problem the names are case sensitive I think. If it shows like mine Exchange2.apk type it into the patch tool just like it looks.
I got an error when I did it on CM10 that Exchange services had stopped. However, I guess it worked itself out because I still get my work email and it's just as fast sometimes faster than getting it on my computer.

Had the same issue wanted it to show so all others can see. I found a way but not conventional. I created a new gCal account with a new email and called it by my job name. Then I shared that account with my current gCal account. Then on my work PC I downloaded the Google calendar sync app and logged in with the new work account. So now in my default account I just check the shared calendar for my job and it shows all my job appointments as well as all my other shared calendars.
Works for me
