[MOD] GS3 SecEmail.apk & Exchange.apk with Exchange Security Disabled - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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

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.

does this disable the remote wipe feature? anyone willing to test that?

Yes. What this does is change the code to show that you have security enabled when you don't.

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.

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.
---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------
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.

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

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

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?

email Client Signature "Sent From Tmobile..."

Anyone figured out how to delete it? Every time I erase the 'sent from Tmobile' crap it reverts back.
there should be a signature setting somewhere in the email app
Take it out of your Gmail
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
It does not allow itself to be removed in the regular imap email app. Annoying as hell. If u delete or change the sig it just reverts back to the T-Mobile sig.
Fortunately gmail app doesn't behave that way.
I gotta say that for a "vanilla" Android phone, T-Mobile really dug their nails into it. This ain't no nexus vanilla that's for sure.

This is happening to me too and it is completely unacceptable. This is happening on my exchange email, I know I can use touchdown but I have to pay for that. This should not be like this.
Would it be possible to get the apk from the Nexus One email client and install it on this phone?
And me. I don't want this T-Mobile signature on my corporate e-mail account. Calling support right now...
Talked to support. After the usual basic steps she looked in the database and said "oh yes, I see others are having the same issue. It would need a software update from Google, and there's no timeframe for that".
Time to get hacking...
IMHO, this is completely unacceptable; I just discovered this today. I can't use this for my work email (we have to put in our own corporate disclaimer) if I can't change the signature. The only tedious work around is to to delete it every time I start a new email/reply and put in some shortcut to insert my actual shortcut. As a former BB owner, this is terrible, and this phone is going back to t-mobile right now. Might be time to bite the bullet and just switch to Verizon and the droid pro. Sigh.
Yes it's a stupid bug for sure. Glad I already paid for touchdown.
If you don't want to pay for Touchdown, there are others as good if not better than Touchdown for free. Just look for them.
Fixed the issue by replacing the email.apk file with the one from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007
Can you tell me how you did this. I have tried to install the apk but it fails.
1) End the task of your existing one and click delete data/cache in manage applications.
2) Use Root Explorer and rename the old one in system\app to email.apk.old / make a backup of it
3) Copy the new one to system\app and click install
Thanks so much. No more signature! I was really bummed out about this one, but now all is good.
ahh, glad the directions worked. I had to work from memory as I initially tried the Gingerbread email.apk file and had to do a bunch of delete, uninstall, delete motions to get the one linked above to work.
No - the default Gingerbread version does not work. I believe the one above is based on the 2.3 code and does work. The black back ground is a lot nicer than the grey that the default client had.
This is the default email client and may work better for people that don't want to bypass Exchange security policies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041962
Awesome thanks...now I dont have to ask T-Mobile for a monthly fee for the advertising my emails were providing.
This is total crap!
How did you guys get around to renaming the original file? When I try it says insufficient permission. Looks like it is a read only file and am unable to change it.
You need root access.

Gingerbread without Exchange Security Policy?

Does anyone know of a way to disable the Exchange Security Policy thing on Gingerbread for the T-bolt?
Yes, there are other posts in several forums about it, but all the files are called "email.apk" and looking in my /system/app/ folder I have "mail.apk"
Do I just rename the file or will the "email.apk" file work the same?

Here you go sir.
Gingerbread e-mail apk with exchange security policy disabled.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28393515/Email1.apk
You can keep mail.apk if you want or delete it.
For this app, just download it directly onto your phone and it should install. It's signed so no need to push it to system/app
no renaming or anything.
btw e-mail apk is just the name. the link i have is safe to download.
htc mail app sucks balls IMO.
Thank you very much! I'll give it a whirl... I'm hoping my IT dept. doesn't have some funky stuff in the security policy. Froyo based BAMF roms worked fine though so this one should too.
Update: WOO HOO! Works just fine
-Bob
If I caught you doing that on my network, your ass would be booted off in a heartbeat. Be careful, you might get BOFH'ed.
did this work?
the policy is because its and exchange 07/10 server so you can remotely wipe your phone in case it gets lost.
Log into OWA and under options youll see your phone.

Stock ICS Email App - Exchange Included!

As promised, here are the files and instructions if needed to install the stock ICS Email app. You MUST have root!
To install the Stock ICS Email app:
1. Turn off Fast Boot! Root your phone!
2. Install ES File Explorer and under Root settings, enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
3. Download attached EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk
4. Drop them into the System/App folder and reboot!
5. Setup your Exchange accounts and enjoy true PUSH EMAIL!
I recommend not using the Gmail email app and just setup your Gmail via Microsoft Exchange and add it to the stock ICS Email app.

This push bug is a PITA. This a guaranteed fix for near instant push emails?
In order for this to work, do I have to clear out the data from the HTC Stock Mail app and disable it first?
will this allow me to finally see exchange in HTML? the stock sense email app doesnt support HTML in exchange running version 03.
The phone got sluggish after I installed this until I disabled the HTC email app.
A nice bonus this does is that it enables you to ignore your Exchange Security Policy.

I had similar issues. You have to disable or at least clear data from anything else that uses Exchange. You can't have two mail apps using ActiveSync at the same time.
I disabled Gmail and the stock app, and uninstalled another mail I was using, then everything was fine.
Can't find the applications
Not really sure if i have done this correctly, but i have followed the instructions.
I have rooted the phone and dropped the files in system/app
But i can't find any new applications after rebooting. Trying to click on the .apk and install them the regular way doesn't help either (and probably shouldnt?)
I am fairly certain i have disabled fastboot but how can i be really sure of this?
I just installed this on my EVO 4G LTE and it works great! Figured I would give this a bump

New Google Wallet Update on SGS3?

Hey gang,
So I had Google Wallet working on the SGS3 earlier today, no problem, following the guide pinned at the top. For clarification, I'm on a stock rooted phone. The new cloud-based Wallet update that rolled out today (see here about that) should be easy to get working, but if you manually enter the play store page on the SGS3 and force an update, the new update doesn't work. You get a toast with "Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."
In #verizons3, desterly, Krikkit_Cat and I were looking at it-- specifically, desterly was checking the new .apk. I think tonu42 was also trying to get it to work.
I tried a simple build.prop change back to the htc_jewel, but no luck there. desterly found this check:
Code:
this.mMarketIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
this.mMarketIntent.setData(Uri.p****(this.mWalletAndroidMarketUri));
this.mMarketIntent.addFlags(65536);
switch (getIntent().getIntExtra("mode", 0))
Which is the first check that fails. There could be more.
Any ideas on how to patch to get around that? It's confirmed working on the VZW GNex, so it's not a carrier check, just a Play Store check or something.
I already had GW working on my VZW S3. I just changed the buildprops: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083&page=69 then updated the GW app from the market without any problems. My VISA was already listed so I just needed to verify it and now it's there along with the prepaid google debit card.
Man, know what you mean, even trying to go back to the old version gives me the fail message, really hope someone comes out with the patch since I f'd up and forgot to clean the secure layer and don't have a backup after the initial wallet install and before pushing the update thinking it'll just work.

I can also confirm that modifying the build.prop to "ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus ro.product.name=yakju ro.product.device=maguro" as suggested by mobilehavoc works. It has the unsupported device banner at the top since I'm rooted but everything else works.

Will this have any other unintended consequences? Otherwise seems like a dece fix.
Also, scsa20: if your secure element is broken, it's broken. It's a hardware thing. That happens if you flash a ROM without clearing the Google Wallet settings. However, you PROBABLY don't need it for the new Wallet app since it's cloud based.

Yeah, give us an update. I bought a coffee with old Wallet to check my secure element.
From that Krikkit_Cat was saying, you can possibly destroy your hardware secure element (NOT REPARABLE) by doing a nandroid with NFC enabled (I haven't experienced that yet), and DEFINITELY if you flash a ROM without clearing your Google Wallet data. So make sure you do that.
To check your secure element status, install AnyCut, and make a shortcut to NFC Test. This is a baked-in .apk on stock ROMs, some debloated/AOSP ROMs probably won't have it. If you go to the shortcut and check the SE Configuration, and both appear on, you are most likely in the clear. Also unconfirmed, but LLStarks said in IRC that merely being able to see your card's funds (in old Wallet) means your SE is working.
To update to the new cloud-based, all card Wallet on a STOCK SGS3:
change your build.prop information to as follows:
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
and KEEP those settings. The easiest way to edit is to use Root Explorer, it saves a backup. If you prefer to pull/push, make sure you change the permissions on build.prop otherwise you will SOFT BRICK and have to Odin/nandroid back.
Then, go to here on your phone and update the application manually. This should work as long as you keep your build.prop.
Someone on reddit claimed MarketEnabler will allow it to work without changing build.prop, but I have not tested this. Let me know if anyone gets it working. I found all this on reddit and XDA, and of course IRC-- Krikkit_Cat was invaluable in telling me how to check for the secure element status.
EDIT: MY GUIDE APPLIES ONLY TO STOCK PEOPLE! If you do this on CM10 WITHOUT removing a build.prop check from the updater-script you will bootloop and POTENTIALLY BRICK your device. If you are on CM10, see tonu42's post below.
Also, to play it safe, clear your Google Wallet data every time you change something. You run the risk of destroying your secure element if not.
EDIT2: KazPinkerton from IRC just verified that this works with his stock debloated ROM following these steps.
here are my steps to make this work on Cm10/
PRE-ROM: Unzip cm10. Go to META-INF/com/google/android/
1.Edit update script in notepad or notepadd++
2.Remove this
"assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2vzw" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2vzw");"
3. save
4. Go back to the folder where it is just META-INF and System
5. Select both of these and add to zip in 7-zip or windows
6. Flash this and GAPPS
7. Then follow below
1. Use market enabler http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
2. Spoof tmobile us
3. Download wallet from market
4. change buiild prop to this
"ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro"
5. Reboot
6. Go through set up
7. When adding a card it may take up to 30 minutes
Caveat: It will say unsupported device at the top, but apparently it will stay work with payments. *untested for now*
Yeah, I was an idiot and totally forgot to wipe my google wallet settings.. I hope there's some way to get this fixed at some time or another.

You MIGHT have luck with the new Wallet app. Instead of storing your CC info on the secure element, it stores it on Google's servers. But I'm not sure.

Sorry man. You could try to exchange it, or just live without it. I don't think I'd ever really miss Google Wallet.

I might just have to call Verizon and let them know I'm having a real bad issue with my GPS locking or something simple. Meh, I had Pay Pass on my Chase card but I never really used it so I don't know I'll figure that one out..

That's just because you're rooted and they "technically" advise against using it on a rooted device as they don't guarantee support. Believe the previous hacked version just had it removed.

The unsupported thing comes up but apparently it still works. I have not tested it using this method but will sometime soon. Also it may take a while for adding a card, I did it over wifi took a few seconds. Let it sit for up to 30 mins.

Yeah, give us an update. I bought a coffee with old Wallet to check my secure element.
From that Krikkit_Cat was saying, you can possibly destroy your hardware secure element (NOT REPARABLE) by doing a nandroid with NFC enabled (I haven't experienced that yet), and DEFINITELY if you flash a ROM without clearing your Google Wallet data. So make sure you do that.
To check your secure element status, install AnyCut, and make a shortcut to NFC Test. This is a baked-in .apk on stock ROMs, some debloated/AOSP ROMs probably won't have it. If you go to the shortcut and check the SE Configuration, and both appear on, you are most likely in the clear. Also unconfirmed, but LLStarks said in IRC that merely being able to see your card's funds (in old Wallet) means your SE is working.
To update to the new cloud-based, all card Wallet on a STOCK SGS3:
change your build.prop information to as follows:
Code:
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
and KEEP those settings. The easiest way to edit is to use Root Explorer, it saves a backup. If you prefer to pull/push, make sure you change the permissions on build.prop otherwise you will SOFT BRICK and have to Odin/nandroid back.
Then, go to here on your phone and update the application manually. This should work as long as you keep your build.prop.
Someone on reddit claimed MarketEnabler will allow it to work without changing build.prop, but I have not tested this. Let me know if anyone gets it working. I found all this on reddit and XDA, and of course IRC-- Krikkit_Cat was invaluable in telling me how to check for the secure element status.

Just two questions. What do you mean by keep your build.prop and how do you clear your Google wallet data. I am only asking because I don't want anything messing up and would rather be a noon and ask and get it right the first time
