Is the code available for the Android pattern/gesture locking? I wanted to take a look at it to see how this was being done, but was not able to find it in the source. Thanks.
Don't know if you all consider this "warez" or not, but I don't. I call it selling open source code. If you do, feel free to just delete this.
Also, I'm aware someone already posted FreeRoot (same thing as this), but I just wanted to crack it myself for fun/experience.
Enter anything for email and key, it doesn't check them (no contact with the server at all).
EasyRoot - uppit
I took the latest source code for Email.apk from CM7 and modified it to remove any Exchange Security policy enforcement. Benefits of doing it this way rather than using an older version of Email.apk is you get the new code updates.
Anyways enjoy and if you want to include this or redistribute please just give me credit for the modification.
Please note that this modified Email application is available for educational purposes only.
The following is a brief summary of what the modifications made to this application do:
NOTE: Security Policy is abbreviated as SP
Disable requirement for a local Device Admin which disables the ability to Remote Wipe and to require a pinlock to use the device
Acknowledge to the remote Exchange server that the SP's which this device supports are currently active. We do not fabricate the list of SP's that are supported. So if the current Android 2.3 src code does not support a specific SP then we do not lie and state it does. This means you could still be rejected by the remote Exchange server and not be able to sync with it. Stating what we support and actually supporting them are two different things.
If you want access to the modified source code you can grab it from HERE

Well, credit for the mod not any prior changes to this application's src code from the CM fork. As always I respect all developer's contributions no matter how small.
Also since this is a mod and not enhancement I'll never push these changes to the CM git repo to be added. I think Email has not had any individual contributions and is stock android 2.2.

Ahhhh nice. I only checked the src out but hadn't checked history on it. I'm an SVN person and not familiar with git. Thanks man I'll hit up mtwebster as Email was an app I wanted to contribute to.

Thank you everyone that worked on this apk. I have been wanting this sense cm 6 came out. Cause back on cm rc1 it didn't have the security settings, which I loved very much. There is only one thing I keep having is it keeps asking for me to set the security up. Idk if that's suppose to happen or not but I just wanted to let everyone know that it works but every hour or so it asks for security to be setup. Again thank you all.
Im cookin up an update.zip for this, testing right now and i will upload when its done
Edit:: link for update zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/kanged_email-signed.zip
works for me, thanks to shafty023 for modding the apk!

No it should not be asking you every hour for security. Make sure you removed the device admin (Android Settings -> Security) and removed the pin lock after you copied over the modded Email.apk. You do not need to reboot. I modded the src code to not check for security requirements on every ping to the Exchange server which is what you are experiencing. That would lead me to believe you're in a semi-modded state. Make sure you clear the notifications before you setup your Exchange account again or that notification "could" trigger the security requirement again. Remember, all this has to be done before you set up your Exchange account again.
According to the commits at the github, there should be an option to change the account color somewhere, but I don't see anything like that under account settings. Am I missing something?
Also, is it so hard to make html emails render properly? This is a must in my opinion and should be stock, but I wonder why our kind devs don't do something in that direction...

I'll check on the account color issue. As far as html email rendering, the email app will need an html renderer rather than a text renderer.

I am my exchange admin, and just for the most part, the mods are making the 2.2 email apk run like it has for the past two versions of android.

The past two versions of android were lacking in proper exchange support.
I'm just putting it out there as a warning for people who are using exchange for the companies they work for.
**** could hit the fan if your phone is improperly secured by using this apk.

This mod is for those who require Exchange support but their company is too cheap to pay for a decent corporate phone with Exchange support.
I'm a software developer for instance and my company only provides phones to people with C-level titles (CEO, CIO, CTO, etc). So I use my personal phone to connect via ActiveSync but do NOT want our Exchange environment having the ability to remote-wipe my phone.
To add more humor to the issue, those in our company who get phones are getting ones still on Android 1.6 which doesn't include proper Exchange security support so it's a null/void issue here.

So how do I install this one? When I'm trying to install it Astro it only gives me the option to uninstall or launch
go here
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3570-email-app-modification/page__pid__31972#entry31972
However it will not include the modification to ignore the security' enhancements' that are added in this thread.
Uninstall the current email app with titanium then flash the one mentioned in this thread or the one in urge link above.
Thanks disgustip8ted ,
But the one from the link is an rar this one is a apk.
How do I install the apk one? app installer no longer works with Froyo.
If your exchange admins are cool with this you can install the apk with astro, or email it to your self,g mail will give you the option to install. Imo just un rar the file from mtwebster and install and keep a good back up in case the exchange admins get overzealous and wipe your phone.
Lets not overlook individual folder sync too. This is great!
Now my question... Can us special children running blur on devices like... Oh say a droid2 use this at all? I'm guessing no because of the blur mail app, but I hope I'm wrong.
Our organization recently disabled Exchange Activesync because of things like this...
I'm not trying to piss on this thread, but this is a serious problem for adoption of Android in the Enterprise.
All of our Android users hate us now. They just bought the phone that "Does" except it doesn't. ;/
I work in a industry with regulation that has certain standards for how e-mail is stored on portable devices, and when I got wind of this we had no choice but to ban android devices from synchronizing with exchange.
(and that stinks, but there's no way around it)
I know that with such a open platform this was inevitable, but by supplying this to the masses you have given a "proof of concept" to the paranoid.
This will without doubt result in businesses not adopting android in the enterprises that are regulated. (Or turning to 3rd party solutions, offhand I think of Good for Enterprise.......whom we pay dearly for closed source secure E-Mail on Android).
That said, I can't help but wonder if there is any way for an exchange administrator to detect something like this. (I doubt it) Because if so I'd make sure that the end users disregarding policy (which is regulatory driven) were fired.
Also, if this is meant for small businesses, can't the exchange admin just disable the security in the policy on the exchange side. I don't buy that this is for small companies.

The project in GutHub: https://github.com/antoniy/gidder
Gidder is a Git server implementation for Android that works on top of a SSH server. Access your code anywhere anytime using your Android device.
Gidder is a unique product in that it combines two very complementary ideas. The distributed version control that Git provides and the mobility of any Android device. As a reasult, you can store your projects safely and conveniently in your pocket device and just as easy access them using any WiFi connection. It doesn't matter if you are on a business trip in a hotel, at the office or at home, you can always sync your work using your Android device.
What's the fun of something if you can't share if with anyone else? That's why Gidder provides multiple users that can access any repository they have permissions to. You might want a colleague to be able to just peek at your code - no worries, Gidder gives you the ability to separate permissions to Pull and Push&Pull permissions. So with a simple click you can assign read-only permission to anyone.
Features:
Git server over SSH for accessing your repositories.
Support Push, Pull, Fetch and Clone Git operations which is all you need to achieve successful distribution with Git.
User management - create, create from contact, edit, delete, activate/deactivate, set/remove permissions to repositories.
Repository management - create, edit, delete, activate/deactivate, set/remove permissions for users.
Dynamic DNS integration. A convinient way to use the system when working in different WiFi networks and having a different IP on your laptop. By using Dynamic DNS you can easily access a server without worrying if your Git remote have the correct IP for the current WiFi network. Currently supported providers are No-IP and DynDNS.
Auto update Dynamic DNS hostname when WiFi is On.
Manually update Dynamic DNS with an update button.
Autostart/Autostop server on WiFi On/Off.
Configure server port.
Enable/Disable status bar notifications.
Application widget for Start/Stop the server.
Connection problem
Hi!
Must say that it's a great idea! I use git for storing all my document, regardless if I'm using my laptop or office computer. Adding the phone offers true mobility.
However, I'm having problem accessing the server:
~/git/AppData$ git push gidder
Permission denied (password).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
After stopping the server I get the following:
~/git/AppData$ git push gidder
ssh: connect to host 10.10.10.170 port 2222: Connection refused
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Which means that I'm talking to the right server. I never get prompted for the password, though. I'm pretty experienced with both ssh and git.
Keep up the good work!

Quick reply! Thanks!
The problem was completely on my side! My /etc/ssh/ssh_config was configured "PasswordAuthentication no", so it didn't allow password based authentication. I usually use pubkey for my gitrepo, so I didn't know I had that. Do you support pubkey?
I hope that someone could learn from my mistake. I found the problem by trying ssh alone like this:
ssh -v -v -v 10.10.10.170 -p 2222 -l guest

I'm glad you solve this issue. Regarding public key authentication support the answer is yes, of course I had this idea but for now I don't have nice and simple way to present this functionality. Because of the fact it's a pure client-side app and there are no back-end servers involved there ain't simple ways (at least to my knowledge) to transfer and manage pub keys for the application. Of course this feature is still in the queue for future implementations.
~antoniy~
Good stuff
Definitely a good start and very useful. It did take a bit of work to get going but not too bad... specifically I had to edit my local ~/.ssh/config to allow password auth with the dyndns host and had to do "git push origin master" after cloning the repo locally... but once that was done things worked great.
A couple of feature requests...
1. It would be great if I could set the location of the repo on my device. I have a galaxy tab 2 with a large capacity sdcard, but gidder sets the repo up on internal storage.
2. It would be great to be able to pull up a history of the repo on the device. Just a summary to see where things are at.

Okay, about the first request - I'll add a configuration option to specify where the repositories should be saved. When I got some time, I'll make it happen.
Regarding the repository browsing on the device - I'm not planning this for now. Don't have much time. You can use Roberto's app AGit to access repository on Gidder and browse the log as a workaround.
~antoniy~
This app is very interesting! I'll try it tomorrow, but already rated it on gplay. if it realy that app how i think i will donate it
Two Feature Request
This is a really awsome app. I've been stalling making it myself since I didn't have the time. It really needs a hotspot mode it isn't hard to implement, and maybe a tasker plugin.
If you need help on this, I wouldn't mind helping I just don't have the time to do it full-time. Since I'm trying to start releasing abunch of apps right now.
First off not trying to be an ass, sadly this is how it will come off.
I am not looking for the source code of the app but I am looking for the source code of the gpl components of this app
which must be hosted by the person who created the app upon any form of distribution.
The only way you would have to also release the source code of the app is if you statically linked to the git code or
any other gpl code.
currently from what I can tell you have violated the GPL License and if not corrected with in two weeks of now, I
will report this to the FSF.

Thank you for supporting the open source community that well. Hope some day you'll realise freeware software is another branch of that same side and you may support it as well. After all some people are investing their free time to do something for the community (and yes, it seams other people are playing "badass" online).
Never the less, there is a plan to go open source but that won't happen until I prepare the code so other people can understand it easily. And that is not and will never be related with what you're trying to do. To be honest people like you pushes me away from contributing than the other way around.
Thank you for your post, hope you're happy for what you're doing.
Regards,
Antoniy
Antoniy I wouldn't take offence to what devilsclaw has said in fact he's trying to help you out although IMHO his approach is a little heavy handed, but that's just my opinion. If he's going to threaten people with the FSF then IMHO it's up to him to try to help people comply with the licences, if they refuse the help then reporting them is probably appropriate.
(Disclaimer: I might not be 100% correct so please do some googling to be sure).
When you make use of libraries that have a GPL licence it means your code automatically has the GPL licence applied to it and have to make the source to your code available...hence why GPL is loved as much as it is hated. If you'd used LGPL licenced code then things would be a little different. Making the code available doesn't mean you have to host it somewhere or make it particularly public but you would have to provide it on request. So for instance if I emailed you and asked for your source you'd have to make it available to me I.e. email me a zip of the source, provide somewhere where I can download it from, etc. (don't worry I'm not going to do that ) because of the GPL licence.
I realise you have pride in the software you write and hence only want to make it "public" when you're happy with it and you can stick with that plan, as long as you provide the current source in whatever state it is in to anyone that actually requests it.
Hopefully this won't put you off as I think your application is great from watching your video and I'll be giving it a try, the fact it's free is fantastic!! All you need to do is probably do some research on what licences are applied to the code you're using and see how that affects your code. Be careful it's a bit of a minefield and there are plenty of misinterpretations/misundertandings out there. Once you've got a grip on what the different licences mean and the consequences of them then hopefully you'll be happy contributing in the future.
As a side-note, making the source available for your application will probably mean more people will use it. Source code is quite a sensitive thing to be storing in something you don't have 100% trust in, providing the source to your application will mean that users can establish that trust. As one of the review comments points out on Google Play they want to be sure the code they're storing through your app isn't being transmitted somewhere else without their knowledge.

Hello Mobby and thank you for your response.
I'm aware with the differences in the licenses and the fact is - I'm not using any GPL licensed libraries. The libraries I'm using are Apache 2 License, MIT License and EDL and I'm not forced by any of those to provide my code to anyone. devilsclaw is just confused and want to educate people the strangest way possible. But anyway. My missing is that I have to list the name of the libraries and their licenses somewhere in my app - that's correct and should be fixed some time in the future. My app is not forced to be open-source and due to that fact and many more I still do not intend to make it open source.
Yes, I'm aware people needs to feel safe for their code, but being open source is not a MUST, it's a bonus that people should recognize. You cannot just go around telling people do this and do that without first stop and consider that you're talking about their time and money and also without consider that you might actually be wrong.
Anyway, let's leave it at that. When I find the time needed I'll release the app open source because there is no reason for me to keep it closed. It's just a tool I build for myself and share with others.
Hope you'll enjoy using it.
Regards,
Antoniy
Ah that's cool, glad the licences are not a problem.
Oh definitely open source is not a must and I hope you don't think I was implying that you must open source your code. I was just offering my opinion that it might be good.
In either case you've created a great app and I will certainly give it a try and leave a review on Google Play at some point.

Feature request
I have been looking for this for ages as i have an android tv box connected to a couple of disks with an ssh server that i'm using as a NAS and always wished i could have some version control on it too. Sadly my tv box connects via cables rather than wireless so Gidder will not work in its current state. Any chance of cable support in the future?

Hi,
I would want to transfer my repositories/users to another phone running Gidder. I've copied the Gidder directory from one phone to the other but when I run Gidder, the repositories/accounts aren't showing up.
Are there any other files I need to copy from the other phone?
Hi I have an Google Play Dev Accaunt and Google have for everything an App ( Google Analythic , Google I/O etc.) but not for thhe Google Play Developer Console and beccause that I made an app about that !

Feedback is welcome !

sorry to sound truly negative but it is with best interest; but why would you be rfeleasing source code that is irrelevant to others to be able to check? if you are going to post a source code using a developement software thats minimally used to begin with? you might as well just make a simple layout, use buttons, and just load webviews to just load the mobile website for the developer console... as stupid as that may sound thats basically all i can truly think would be a good use for that because when its something as secure needed as the app developers developerconsole u will NEVER see too many people use random apps to access it, let alone using .shm and othe runknown file formats that dont open with notepad; so posting such soruce code is no use to any developer to "check for yourself" as it is still unccesable to the developers to check...
in other words basicly this topic should be marked as closed as there is no true way to check the legitmacy of this app and the codes submitted apon requested to see if its not malicious is irrelevant; as a google account hacking may be one thing; but a hacking to a developers console cannot be acceptible to other developers and thus why not many apps are made for the console as it just isnt trusted by other develoers to use unless it is really from "pub:Google inc." on google play

So for example, I use a different google account for google for play and store in the browser I'm not always logged accaunt with my App Maker wherefore I use this app because I do not have an extra logout. And I can only repeat it is not a hack app that would AppInventor with the impossible
Based on the screenshots it seems like the app is just a bunch of WebViews that load the mobile version of the Dev Console. That isn't much different from just loading the page in the browser....and there's the added security concern about stealing account credentials as someone pointed out earlier.
Also, if you're going to make your project open source, don't share a proprietary format. Share the raw java source code on Github.
If they tell me how happy ... in a normal app with eclipse but I knew this I did with AppInventor as I have already written ...

exactly! developers appericate when u "open source" to use a format we ALL can use and are comfortable with; i would prefeer even obfusticated java code that u need to route where all the things go thghen some random format they send out to use their program; but i have deminstrated to people in my local area that just because the app uses webviewsx it does not mean safe; there is still intents you can use to monitor keypresses in certain feilds (also why newer keyboard apps say they dont keep logs in their privacy notes because such things are known for keylogging)
and even if it is build in eclipse i dont feel i need to use an extention as he seems to make it sound like to just view it as i tried reading it in eclipse (as i removed notepad, wordpad, microsoft office so i can use eclipse on all documents) so even if i could see "the codes" why push your application to read the codes as even if u released the source, its still not readable without your extention program you made, and it may seem legitable to you as the developer (trust me on my app sms Tasks some things i do to it are questioned by some just for the fact its a sms-reciever client to control phones remotely with a pass phrase, u can see it in my sig for more details if u wanted further looks) but in regards to this not many people trust these things as you either need to use someone elses program to even read it, people dont trust random tools with little credits to it, and expecially when the app is sketchy and its logcats (and apk tool'd decompiled source codes when de-obfusticated) does show indeed this is WEBVIEWS but instead it also throws some exceptions, some exceteras, and a few more things then just loading a webview as it does, so im just saying that when you are doing stuff like these expecially something as secured needed as the developers console to release their apps, to release monitations, to make money and review statistics, not many people will trust a app to do so, and are even sketchy using mobile browsers to do so expecially from mobile internet (not wifi) as all networking is tracked from them and everything done on it even more then wifi-internet-compatible companies do even with VPN's and stuff theres some things that are truly not trusted in 3-rd party sources without true credibility, some people never trusted paypal in its early years due to it keeping logs of peoples creditcard information, social security information, and other details for tax-based incomes as even at its early times the encryptions used were minimal to what they have now
basicly if you read all the comments here, and all whats in them u will see that if you release the codes that made it, use it in a format we can all truly see and use as the sources u released are useless to debug or see its true credibility
Well said
-_- I gave you the source aso ....
Hey I make it to GitHub !
