[FLASHABLE] Modified 2.1 Sense Email - No Device Administrator - EVO 4G Android Development

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?

Which rom are you running?

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)

[APP] Autowipe - For those with Froyo

Autowipe is back!
Greetings all,
As most of you probably know, Froyo (2.2) includes new phone wiping abilities. I've been working on an app to take advantage of this new feature and I'm excited to let others see it.
Unfortunately for me, I do not have a Froyo Phone! I am looking for some of you very nice people with N1s or Droids that have 2.2 installed to help me out with testing, as the Emulator can only go so far. Most importantly, I'm interested in seeing if the "Subscriber Id changed" action works when removing/changing SIM cards.
Quick description: Android 2.2 (Froyo)+ includes a new administrator feature. The administrator must be enabled by the user before it can perform its actions. This application focuses on the memory wipe feature of the administrator. If your device gets lost or stolen you can set up this application to automatically wipe the memory in the following conditions: failed passwords to unlock screen, SMS password received, subscriber ID changed (SIM card).
Screenshots and APK attached below.
Thank you very much!
Update 05 March 2011:
* Integrated a Test Mode into the app.
Don't mean to be a downer or anything but isn't this what Mobile Defense and WaveSecure do already?

i really like this app bro. So when you say wipe, does it restore factory settings? or does it literally wipe everything so that u have to restore via adb or something?
Indeed, my intention is to release it as a free app on the Market to all locations.

Thanks for the compliments. According to the documentation it never specifically says "factory reset" but I'd guess that is what it is doing: Ask the user data be wiped. This will cause the device to reboot, erasing all user data while next booting up.

Keep up the good work bro.
This is an excellent alternative, eh?
Can you please give us a version with "SIM"?

Hello all, sorry I was away for a bit there. Good news, I've just posted a release to the Android Market. I will update the original post shortly.
Search for Autowipe on the market if you can. Feedback would be great! (This version WIPES, it's armed!)
Good work!
Please hide the sms password with ***, add a cursor and perhaps a confirmation with "password set" or something like this.
And most important a test mode would be great. No idea how to test it without wiping hehe

From the 2.2 Highlights:
Device policy manager
New device policy management APIs allow developers to write "device administrator" applications that can control security features on the device, such as the minimum password strength, data wipe, and so on. Users can select the administrators that are enabled on their devices.

Thank you for contributing, one request. Sdcard wipe too...if someone is smart enough they can restore my phone with a nandroid after it's wiped....if it's a smart thief that is
Sorry if I'm suspicious about all this but with would you need network access for your app?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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?

Possible mod to PIN unlock?

Hey guys, so just recent I got a job where we could use a microsoft activesync account, but my admin requires my phone have a PIN for unlocking. I was wondering if theres any mod I can download that will allow my phone to unlock after just tying my pin. Right now I have to type and click unlock, and even though it's no big deal, i'd be much easier if I could just type it and it'd go. Let me know if there's anything like this, thanks!!

[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.

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.

+1 I followed steps exactly, but I still have to set and use a PIN.
Use the patch references in post #4. It is super easy and you will use it going forward.

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.

Use the method in post 4.
Everyone should use that method. It's much easier.

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.

Mine says VRLF2 (I535VRLF2 base) (build I535VRALF2) what does that mean?
Also I was able to do post #4 with stock to get it to work...

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.

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
