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.
hi, first let me say any help is appreciated...
i bought an archos 7c tablet which has literally zero support on the company website (it just came out in april) i was using it only for a few hours after i bought it and installed adw ex home app. after restarting it just keeps saying adw ex force close. on every other android device i've had there has been a way to get into recovery but apparently not this thing. the power button is a slider and theres a reset pin button, no other hardware button and no known way to boot up to recovery to data wipe. it looks like my only option might be to just wait for a firmware update from archos...
before the issues started i did manage to set up my gmail and i am still getting emails to it (showing up in the notification bar) and i can open them, i never got around to install tattachapkinstaller tho so i can't install apk's through it.
so...
my idea to get around it i had a bit ago was maybe if i could send myself a link to my settings.apk... i could open up my settings through the shortcut i could send myself in my gmail, then i could go into privacy and do a factory data reset... if this is possible... or if someone has a better idea please let me know.
So I fixed it myself... sent myself a link to http://mail.Google.com which opened up my browser and allowed me to open my tablets browser without use of a home launcher. I sent myself the u installer apk which I then installed through my browser. This could be a solution for others but it really is depending on a couple things, number one u would probably need to have third party app installs enabled, even tho I think if u troy to install an apk it will shoot u over to where u can turn third party installs on if u don't have it enabled already. Secondly u need to have an email address set up to send urself an html link in order to open your internet browser which u can use to download any app which may help u fix ur problem. I simply got the uninstaller apk and uninstalled adw ex. Good as new.

I used Titanium backup and I removed Talk from my phone. I later realized I am no longer able to respond to gchat as Talk was associated with gchat.
Is there a way I can recover this app? Is there an .apk file somewhere so I can just download it and execute it)
I used this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025610 and compared my list to one of the poster's list in what items I can safely remove. Does anyone have a better list (maybe with a description of each item) for me to follow and remove bloatware?
I want to get rid of the following items because I dont use them, but I really dont want to screw up my phone anymore. Can someone tell me if the following items are safe to remove:
AllShare
buddies now
Latin input method tutorial (I'm assuming its for lating input usage in which I wont need it?)
Mini Diary
Voice Recorder
Write and go (What is this
Thank you for your time!
So I found three files for talk.apk
gtalkservice, talk, and talkprovider, but all three of them gave me the error application not installed
Did you push to system->app?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
lol...you do realize that talk IS gchat, right?
anyway, push the file and install it if you need to. if not, try installing trillian. it is kind of nice because you can have fb on there too and it has minimal battery drain.
if you only want talk, I would say you should take this opportunity to flash a new rom. kh2 was just released
don't know why I waited so long... but here are a few questions I have:
1) it doesnt seem like I have google video chat I thought it came in 2.3.4? I might have restored the old talk binary from my titanium backup in which case do u guys know where I can get the apk?
2) under settings, status, about my phone number is showing as unknown. Did I screw up something?
3) it looks like the clock app bundled with cm7 only carries simple ringtones for the alarm, is there a way to put in some melodies?
4) my work email exchange account puts a restriction whereby I need a security pin on every unlock anyway to get around that?
5) Noticed that the 4G icon is only showing H, is that the same?
thanks CM7 fTW!!!

1) If you go on the cyanogenmod.com website, you should be able to find it along with Google apps. It's a separate download and will need to be flashed separately.
2) No mess up. Just put it back in.
3) You can simply put a folder hierarchy in your internal or external memory like this and put any alarm tones in the folder. It'll show up when you want to select an alarm. It should look like this:
ringtones/alarms/alarm1.ogg
4) No idea, sorry.
5) Same thing, no worries.
thx!

Hi,
I can't post in the main thread so hopefully someone sees this. i'm trying to use the Chrome-to-mobile extension on my desktop to send links to my xoom, but it's not doing anything. i have all the settings correct i think. is this just something that doesn't work on roms? i never got to try it on stock before flashing.
i tried googling and searching but looking for the words "chrome" and "mobile" doesn't exactly provide great results!
thanks!!!
i dont know if this would help but if you install chrome beta on your xoom, and your signed into google on your pc, if you open chrome on xoom, then at bottom it shows you other devices that are signed in to your account and any open tabs that are open on your comp, maybe not what your looking for but thought it might help
Did you try checking your settings in Chrome Mobile? I believe there is an option for Chrome to Mobile, and it just may be disabled.
Hope that helps
Thanks! I will check on the notification. I have everything checked tho. Unfortunately the issue now is I deleted my Xoom as a printer from my docs site and now it won't recognize a new device!
