Unfortunately the directions this link gives do not work if your employer has disabled access to the policies section referenced in the very first step :+(

Android 2.2 Email.apk - Bypassing Exchange security policy - APK Attached.

So I got CM6 installed this morning and then realized how much I despised unlocking my phone. LockPicker from 2.1 doesn't work due to the new method of policy management so I'm attaching an Email.apk that works without issues.
I believe there's another test version of this floating around that someone else has been working on, but I'm not sure if it's being done in the same manner.
I apktool d'd the Email.apk from CM6, then in the SecurityPolicy.smali on line 647 defined v5 as 0x1 (true)..this makes IsActive always return True when policies are checked and bypasses all of the exchange security policy junk. Seems to be working fine for me, if you have any questions feel free, not sure if I'll be able to help too much as I figured this stuff out on the fly today, I'll do my best though.

No need for this in 2.1 - bypassing exchange security policies was much easier as it was just a db setting in the settings provider iirc. There's also a very good app in the market called LockPicker. This was just a quick hack for the new froyo.
Glad to hear its working for someone though
Edit: durrr I can't type.

Lemme know if it works in 2.1. ..that'd be nice. I have my doubts as I don't know if eclair supports DevicePolicyManager which is the mechanism for dealing with security policies.

Is there a thread for the db setting in the iirc, like maybe a how to change the db setting in iirc for dummies? I'm using lockpicker but would love to learn more and experiment with the settings. I'll do a search but figured I'd ask anyway!
this is beautiful!!! works perfectly and it's much more clever solution than running a service in the background!
THANK YOU!

Exchange is working in Froyo on my EVO. I had to use the OWA instead of an IP address in the server box. Just thought it may help you.

I'll give it a shot. I am having the issues that most others are regarding Froyo and Exchange. Google for froyo and exchange it has tons of results.
What setup errors are you experiencing?
Uninstalled the original one and installed this one successfully but the lock screen PIN in still present.

When trying to setup the Exchange account it will tell me I have an invalid username or password when it is correct. I did some googling and a lot of others are having this same issue. It seems to have to do with Froyo not recognizing SSL certificates correctly when it comes to Exchange.

dude, huge favor to ask you
Don't ask me why but i really love the Sense with Froyo.. so attached is the sense Mail.apk that works with 2.2
Could you please try to apply the same patch to it? I tried but i couldn't find the smali or the v5 variable?
I would really appreciate it... as i'm sure other people would too.
Thanks,

Try removing the account, removing the mail app, disabling your screen lock. Then reinstall my apk and reconfigure. That should do the trick.
Ill take a look at the sense mail apparently in the morning, though you could just run lockpickef from the market without issues.

[FLASHABLE] Modified 2.1 Sense Email - No Device Administrator

I de-odexed and patched the Sense 2.1 Email APK (from MikG v1.01) so that Device administrator is not enforced. This means you can use whatever lock screen you want (if having one at all) and modify the timeout period.
I used edify scripting, so this should work on CWR or AmanRA
This may violate your company's EAS policy, so be careful. This is at your own risk!!!!!
Please nandroid backup first before applying. This deletes your Mail.apk/odex
It works only on sense roms or is for any rom?

Can they detect it somehow?
Edit: Also, does it bypass the requirement to have encryption on the SD card and the phone itself?

1. Not to my knowledge
2. No idea, my test EAS server didn't enforce that. But I think it would probably work
anyone tried it out yet?
cool. I will try it. Anyway to get the Sense 3.0 mail.apk the same way?
I'd love this. Any chance of un-allowing remote device wipe? I'd like to get my work email on my phone, but I'll be damned if I'm going to give them remote wipe ability on MY phone.

Your Exchange admins can run security scans to see if you're running a re-signed version of the app. So you have to ask yourself if it's worth risking whatever sort of reprimand you might get if you're caught. If you're that paranoid about getting remote wiped, then you should be equally paranoid about breaking security rules.

You are not always breaking the rules. For example, my EAS server has a timeout of 60 minutes before pin needs to be re-entered. However, Android Email timeout is MUCH shorter. Also, I have never heard that EAS admin can check that. The signature doesn't even remain after you flash it...so that makes no sense.
I will give this a try, but just a heads up, I used to use a different (stock, not HTC) modified email without the security, and my companies IT locked me out of my account because it didn't have the required security.
Will report back if this is the same deal...

I believe the android mail.apk I used was modified to trick the server into thinking the auto-lock was enabled when it wasn't. Don't remember at this point, but all I know is I got a day or two out of it before they blocked my phone
Eh, their loss...no email following me around

also, they do check User-Agents of email clients. If your corp. accepted touchdown for example, or HTC, but not stock android...it wouldn't matter if it was patched or not. But just a thought
still looking from feedback from folks This will work on any version of MikG (or other Sense 2.1 based roms)

[Q] HTTP GET request via Llama w/o opening browser

Hello,
I'd like to figure out a way to use Llama to send an HTTP GET request to my home automation system. In particular I wish to turn the power to the charger on and off based on battery percent as this tablet will be mounted on a wall. Since Llama seems to require opening of the browser to do this, I'm assuming this would require another app. My question is, does one exist? I just want a shortcut that will execute a HTTP request in a completely invisible fasion. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have the same request. Do you find a solution?

Yes. I wrote my own little app that will create shortcuts. It's not in the Play store but I could try to send it to you if you'd like.
I find a solution with the app Tasker. This app could send an Http request but i have other issue. The better way will be to make my own app. If you could send me your version, it will be a great help for starting.

I just sent you an email with the apk attached. I just downloaded the Tasker trial and wasn't super impressed. Perhaps if it were free I would've made use of it but I enjoyed the opportunity to learn a little about Android development. What was your issues with Tasker?
Let me know if my app works for you.
Hello !
I'm also looking for a similar solution.
I use Llama and I need to update my Android GPS location through a HTTP POST.
I really don't want to use tasker... Do you have clues for me ? I'm able if needed to create an APK.
Thanks !

The little app I wrote is only designed to make a static HTTP request. In other words, it won't be able to read any Llama variables or anything like that. However, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to modify the app to support what you're looking to do. I could send you the source code privately if you promise to send me back your changes.
@mrceolla Could you send me the app and source code. I shall send back any changes I do.

[Q] Old Gmail on ICS

I already searched on here, and someone asked this before but got no reply.
I want to uninstall Gmail 4.7.1 from my Kyocera Rise that's running ICS, and install the older Gmail 2.3.4.1 on it. Has anyone else done this before? Any idea if it'll work?
I want to do this because 2.3.4.1 is what my old phone (was running Gingerbread) had on it. I don't like the newer Gmail app, IMO they made it harder to read and navigate. I find myself using my old phone just to check my email, because its less annoying. It'd be awesome if the older app were to work on here.

Welcome to Xda, you will see that this happens allot here and i wish everyone could get the help they deserve but most of the time they don't as for your problem, you could google Gmail 2.3.4.1 apk and might be able to find someone who mirrored that like you can try here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181033 download that file from your phone or computer and find it and install it. it might not work because google sorta wants us to use newer versions of their apps but if it does you need to turn off the auto update so it wont. good luck and welcome to XDA!

Hello, thanks. I've been a lurker on here for a while, but I have no experience asking my own questions here.
Yup, I did that, I downloaded an .apk of 2.3.4.1. I was asking on here to try and find out if attempting this would even work.... in my research I can't find anything on whether something like this for Gingerbread will work correctly in ICS. It looks like I have to root to even remove Gmail 4.7.1 so that's why I was asking before getting into this.

The reason why you can't completely uninstall it is because it's a system app. So yes you would have to root to remove it

Walmart ONN 10' tablet FRP lock

Is there a way to bypass the FRP on the ONN tablet? This was given to me by my MIL and she set it up for my nephew and now cannot remember what account it was used for. Is there a way to bypass the FRP or do I just need to trash it

It's possible, but the method depends on what android version you have.
Can you give me the specific model number of the device and can you tell me what android version the device has installed? I'll see what I can find. I've done this on some RCA tablets from Walmart and a few other devices. It wasn't too difficult.
There are actually a lot of videos on YouTube that discuss different ways of bypassing FRP. I did some Google searching for methods to bypass FRP on the specific model numbers of the devices I had, I found a lot of videos on YouTube. Then, I kept trying the methods that I found until I found one that worked.

Not the device name, the model number, you can find it by going to system settings>about >hardware info>model number or system settings>about>model number.

The only difference is where u should choose a keyboard layout another keyboard layout. Just remember to choose a US keyboard, then continue following the rest of the way. These additional information I'm giving you will all make sense to you when you get to that part.

This is an old thread but thought I'd let amylase wondering know that if you have another device with Bixby and you use it with the camera to translate it helps a lot.. once you get into the settings through the method on the video then just go to pinning and it will have you set a pin. Which also resets the pin to log on. Then bam! You're in like Flynn. Thanks for the help
