How To Disable Exchange Security Policy FROYO!!

Found a way around the enforcement of The Exchange security policy on FROYO (ROOT USERS ONLY), at least until lockpicker gets FROYO support.
You need to unzip and install the attached APK. It will give you an extra mail application on the phone (The Saphire, White envelope, and Gold Message popping out icon), but you can remove the stock one if you have some knowhow, or just delete your account from the stock one.
I take no credit for this. Original work done by raidzero at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...onal-froyo-bypass-exchange-server-policy.html

I downloaded the zip file but I am new to rooting and not quite sure how to apply this zip to my phone... do i copy to root of sd card and boot into bootloader and apply it that way via recovery? or can i run the zip from the phone on normal boot.

You have to extract the apk from the zip file, and then just install the apk from a file manager program like estrongs or astro. You do not need to use recovery or the bootloader for this at all. I probably should gave just posted the apk, without zipping it up to avoid confusion but i didn't.

I have been hit with this ridiculous security policy too, my IT admin guy just shrugs his shoulders, and it doesn't seem to hit iPhones (which are hopeless for security anyway?).
So when I install .apk, do I then need to migrate my Exchange account to a new mail application?
I have a rooted phone, is there any way to just disable Exchange security policy? It even allows 'login attempts' to my device to be 'monitored', get stuffed, I'm not having that.

Not that I know of yet. Uninstall native email app. Use titanium bu. Clear security. Reboot. Install this one.

What is this app and how does it work? Is it a hacked native email app? Also, silly question perhaps, how do we know it's safe to use?

Native email ap, modded. Aosp, not sense. Click the link to original post in first thread for more info. I use this exclusively anytime I flash a new 2.2 rom.

How was it modded, is the native app open source?

How are you all going with this? I'm thinking of installing it. Does it still pull in and integrate the work calendar and contacts?

Yep, but non-sense style...

C'mon....Just give it a try already if you're interested. Don't delete the stock mail app just yet, but delete your credentials, and remove your security (password). Then install this one, see if you like it. I honestly don't remember if it syncs calender with with sense (but I don't think it does). Don't use sense. It is not a Sense app. Its AOSP-like.
Nothing to lose by trying it.

Yeah ok I'll give it a shot.. There are several versions of this app flying around in various threads, is the link in this thread the one to use?

All seem the same to me. Could be mult authors/modders though. I just found on another forum and posted it here.

How can I get the email widget for unread message count? It does come with it.

It depends. Is it a sense widget you're talking about? If so, this will not work. This is the native android email application, not the Sense version. As such, the Sense widget cannot "talk" to this application. There may be a widget on the market for that though.

Beautiful...works great. I can't begin to express how much this helps me out. Any way to change the colors in the email app?
Muchas Gracias
FYI..i'm a noob

Sigh, still getting connection errors when trying to d/l attachments >1MB in size. Otherwise it works fine.

Seems like whatsapp is serious into getting onto our phones

Those in the whatsapp beta for Android should update your software ASAP, because they just put in push functionality for everyone with a 2.2 phone. Is this the only software so far not from google to actually use the 2.2 push function? (C2DM and the likes do not count)

how is it different to what its doing now?? i shall update soon after i finish charging

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.

ahh right so there would be better battery life too??

Is the beta app available? Have they mentioned a release date?
Thanks

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

Nope, but it should be within the next few months, it's already very stable other than some of the extra stuff like backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, since I have quite a few friends with an iphone and BB, I'm able to send them messages via my data plan.

AppBrain's Fastweb Installer uses C2DM too for installation of applications from your PC browser.
Anything that uses C2DM is immediately interesting, I'll check it out!

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.

hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version

I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138

I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.

can we have a link to the apps apk?

Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.

http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google

really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.

Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!

it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily

updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.

[APP]Facebook Messenger

The facebook messenger that is anticipated by social junkies is finally here!
However it is not released officially on SE devices so I've decided to post the apk here.
To install just put the apk into your sd card and use a file explorer to find and run it. It worked on my X10.

Thanx ill try it....

can we have the update pls?

i love this app but how do you update it

thanks for the app

I guess we will be able to update the app once the app is available for our respective country
Or if someone post the new updated apk lol

Every friend of mine is on FB so I don't need any other messenger, so it is useful for me.. Why to use third party when the original developers are providing you a messenger...
Also few of my friends asked me how a mobile icon is appearing in place of a green online status indicator..
This is because I use the FB mobile messenger, it is not officially available yet for my country and so most people don't know about it lol

Works GREAT on my Kindle Fire.
Thanks for uploading this.

The new version of Facebook has been working great. I don't have the issues with the force closing anymore.

Work's great and looks much better than the old version.

came here just to find this and here it is.
thanks

Works just great. However it's kinda annoying to have two facebook applications(although the original one is just a link).
How do I remove the original FB app? (I'm rooted)
Installing the new one didn't replace the old one.

Using the application Root Explorer navigate to /system/app/ folder. Then tap the Mount R/W button on the top. Long press on the Facebook.apk and then choose delete.
There should only be one Facebook file in here and that is the one that came with the device. If there is more that one delete the one which file size is smaller.

Thanks. Since I already have Root explorer installed I tried your method & it worked like a charm.

I deleted from system/app but still its shown on the menu
Then I hide the old FB icon and FB1.8 is working fine
Thanks for app!

you have to reboot after deleting it Also, i just renamed it to Facebook.apk.bak, just in case.

Darn...
When ever I dowload the APK it just tells me that it cannot open the file... Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Got it to work, I just used opera mini instead of amazon's browser. Those treacherous bastards... lol
For some reason with amazon's silk browser, it'll download but when you try and open it, it won't let you.
Use a different browser if you are having the same problem as me.

That's good that you got it to work. Another good alternative browser to try would be Dolphin. Opera Mini messes with the web pages too much for my liking. Good if you don't have much bandwidth though.

I tried dolphin, not sure I liked it. For some reason I was unable to zoom in to pages. So I deleted it and switched to opera mini. I did like the look of dolphin a heck of a lot more.

[Q] How can I extract the new Facebook Messenger notification sound?

Hello,
The new Facebook Messenger (the UI overaul version), introduced a nice new notification sound for incoming messages. I was interested in extracting the sound from the app but I can't find it anywhere in a File Explorer.
FYI - I'm using Stock 4.4 Nexus 5 out of the box.
I am not talking about the "Facebook-pop.mp4". The newest version of the app introduced a newer sounding noise. It almost sounds like a water droplet.
Anyone have any idea how to get it?

Bump? anyone have any idea?

Root it, pull the app from data/app/, open the apk and pull the sound? If you really don't want to root though (come on, this is a nexus and you are on XDA ) I might get a chance to do this tomorrow if no one else will.
Edit: actually, you could download the apk from online and then copy the sound?

I don't use Facebook Messenger but I'm bored and I figured I'd try to help anyway so I installed it.
From Rom Toolbox's root browser, I found the sounds in "data\app\com.facebook.orca-1.apk\res\raw\"
I'm attaching a screenshot with a list of the filenames.

Got it!: new_message.ogg

edit: I used BetterZip for Mac and it opened the APK in a very neat way!

I use Messenger all the time, the standard version and I never got a UI updated version and it still has that "pop" sound. What version is your app? Or is it a different Messenger version?
EDIT: turns out this thread was just bumped and its over a year old. Never mind.

Does anyone have the notification sound that can be found in the Facebook Messenger app now? Some of them are really nice and I would really like to use them for other apps!
Thanks in advance!

hey, i know its a different phone but i can't seem to find anyone doing this for Galaxy S6 edge - i want a sound from the new facebook messenger too called "whistle" but i'm a little too scared to root my phone just for that,.... any help will be appreciated? sorry again for posting here on old thread and on different phone lol but you seem like a helpful person
