Removing Keyguard Password Policy due to Exchange (HTC Sense & Milestone & Froyo)
Introduction
Hi Everybody,
when synchronizing your HTC, Motorolla or Froyo Androids with Exchange, it might be that your device needs to be locked by a password. Having to enter this password on every unlock is quite annoying. It would be great to use Androids unlock pattern instead of the cumbersome on-screen keyboard or disable the unlock password at all. To achieve this, I have written a small app.
Unlike other workarounds, this one let's you keep using your stock unlock screen.
Android 2.1 Download (HTC/Milestone)
HTC Sense:
Install the app
Choose which mode you want (password disabled, password enabled or lockpattern enabled)
Click Save
If you have enabled "Lockpattern":
Click "Set lockpattern"
change lockpattern
click "Done setting lockpattern"

Motorola:
Attention: You need to be rooted and you need the sqlite3 binary. If the program won't do anything, the missing sqlite3 binary is most likely the cause. The easiest way is to install another ROM with busybox and sqlite3 binary installed. Otherwise:
get it from somewhere, push it to "/sdcard", open shell with "adb shell" and:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/system/mtdblock6 /system
cp /sdcard/sqlite3 /system/xbin/sqlite3
chmod 755 /system/xbin/sqlite3
chown root.shell /system/xbin/sqlite3
Then go ahead with my app.
Need help? Have a look here
Choose whether to disable or enable password
Click Save
Please report if it is possible with disabled password to set a lockpattern. If not we can try to work this out together. I don't have a Motorola Droid, so I can't test. Please send me a private message.
Please check as well if there is a popup that your device needs security enabled or whatever.

Android 2.2 - Froyo (Sense & AOSP) - Android 2.3 Gingerbreas AOSP Download
Attention: Root is necessary. You need to replace the original email app with a patched one. The email apps are usually on /system/app, so you definately need root to replace it.
Because I do not want to run into any licensing issues, I have written a toolkit named "FroyoMailUnlocker" which you can use to patch your own email app. I currently support HTC Sense Froyo Mail.apk and Android AOSP (like Cyanogenmod 6 & Cyanogenmod 7) Email.apk. As I do not own a Motorolla, I have no idea if this will work there as well. This toolkit has proven to patch all stock Email apks from Froyo and Gingerbread.
Prerequesites:
You need to have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. Make sure that your Java Home is part of the %PATH% variable. You can test this by issuing start -> run -> cmd -> java -version
And this version is for Windows at the moment. I can easily do one for Linux as well if there is a proper need to.
Basic usage instructions common for both brands:
Pull the apk you want to patch from your ROM
Download the "FroyoMailUnlocker" and extract it
Move the apk to the folder "put_apk_here"
Run the file "FroyoMailUnlocker.exe"
Push the new apk from the folder "put_apk_here" to the root of your SDcard
Boot your phone into recovery
Open a shell with "adb shell" and issue the following commands:
Code:
mount /system
mount /sdcard
...continue with instructions below specific for your brand
Instructions for Sense:
Code:
cp /sdcard/Mail.apk /system/app/
reboot
Setup your Exchange account
Accept the policy, set your Pin-Code
Open up Settings -> Security -> Device Administrator
Remove device administrator
Accept every warning that your Exchange account will be wiped
Still in Security, disable screen lock
Enjoy your policy-free HTC Sense on Froyo

Instructions for AOSP:
Code:
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/
reboot

Appendix
Note 1:
My solution does not require a background service which runs all the time. It sets the desired configuration persistantly and survives a policy reenforcement without having to run any more. You can safely set your configuration and uninstall the app. But you need to be rooted.
Note 3:
Please take a short rest and think about why your company has applied these restrictions over their mobile users. If you say "I don't care", then this app is probably for you. If not, stick to the password unlock.
Important Note for HTC devices:
If you don't use the lockscreen shipped by HTC, it is possible to disable password lock, but you should not reenable password lock again! The issue appears if the lockscreen is enabled again. HTCs framework will then try to configure the HTC Lockscreen and won't find it which ends up in an error. This could prevent your device from booting up. You can fix it by booting into recovery and issuiing the following commands from an "adb shell" and reboot.
Code:
mount /system
mount /data
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update system set value='0' where name='lockscreen.lockexchange.enable';
FAQ
Hey, I changed my configuration from X to Y, but it doesn't work
Just reboot. This should fix your issue. Or if lockpattern does not work, just click on "Set lockpattern", go to security settings, set your pattern and click "Done setting lockpattern".
Hey, installation of the apk failed
Please enable USB debugging in the settings, get the Android SDK (adb tool) and execute "adb -d uninstall com.myandroid.keyguardcontroller"
I can't find your app in the market
Absolutely correct. It's not yet upped. Maybe it will in the future, when this app is tested thouroughly enough. I expect that the more technicaly interested guys come here to find a solution for their problems instead of searching the market and those are the best testers.
After pushing the unlocked file to my 2.2 rom, the Mail/Email app does not show up
Better use a deodexed rom or deodex the apk. Instructions can be found here: DeodexInstructions or xUltimate
Make sure you have cleaned the Dalvik Cache

Any testers?

So where's the app?
Does it re-disable the lock screen after the policy has been re-enforced?

Do they reenforce the policy? Didn't noticed that so far. Wrote the app and created this thread. That's why I am asking for testers. If you want to help, send a private message

Ok, I have a way to make this setting persistent without having to run any background service, app, script or whatever. I am now iterating the lock-pattern issue. I want to be able to use a lockpattern without having Android Mail ask you to set security policies once a day.
Not sure if this is possible, but we will see.
is this for using the stock exchange app? using activesync?
Just curious because I cannot use the stock exchange app due to security policies set at the server level. So I wondered how this would be affected by that.

It's for the mail app of HTC Sense. They build their own UI on top of stock Android and added support for Exchange policies. With this program, we try to circumvent the Exchange password policy. So you might want to get another ROM with Sense for your mobile, or grab Moxier mail from the market.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Current status: I am able to remove password policy, set an unlock pattern and stick with that right now. The Exchange security popup shows up, but it does not override the settings. Once again, there is no background task/script involved. To remove the security popup at all is the next task on the agenda.
Ok, app is ready and tested by two or three people.
It will now make settings persistent, regardless of policy reenforcement.
Additionally it is able to set Lockpatterns without having the policy enforcement popup every morning.
BTW: API level is 3, so it should work with Android 1.5 as well, but I have only been able to test it with Android 2.1.
Hi,

When you connect a device running Android 4.2.2 or higher to your computer, the system shows a dialog asking whether to accept an RSA key that allows debugging through your computer.. You confirm it and you can get the log.

As for your issues, I'm tracking the camera/gallery issue and of course wifi. as for data, have you tried using a different radio? Torch is working fine for me. Try downloading/flashing again. Might have gotten a bad flash/download (doubtful, but let's try it). Also, has the log changed or is about the same?
for the logcat to work change the type of usb connection to camera. It worked for me.

For those still getting device offline in adb. my n4 does this every time I switch between mine and my wife's. First make sure SDK is up to date. Secondly if it still does it. Tap the USB debugging option in developer options on and off again several times and the dialog box asking to accept the computer should come up. . Its not a for sure way to get it to work but this usually works for me.

I've created a little application, which is able to switch network type (e.g. GSM only, LTE only, EvDo only, etc.) on any android with API 21 (Lollipop 5.0) or higher. I created this app because on some phones (e.g. Huawei devices), you cannot change the network type, even though you've managed to open the network engineering screen.
Please note that this app requires ROOT! Here are some features of this app:
- very small (about 50 kB) :angel:
- material design! :silly:
- no ads!
- ability to change to one of 12 network types supported by android
- on Android API 23 (Marshmallow) or newer, you can also change network type on devices with multiple SIM card slot (this is what I think other apps cannot do )
- able to detect if selected network type is not supported, and will revert back to previous setting if it the device doesn't support selected network type
I've tested this app (and use it on daily basis for about 1 month) on a rooted Huawei P9 Plus dual SIM and a rooted HiSense I46D1G, and so far so good.
Example use case : This app is great for locking to LTE only mode if your carrier gives huge bonuses on 4G data (to avoid falling back to WCDMA and cost you extra ), and locking to WCDMA only mode if you need adequate data speed while retaining the ability to place and receive CS calls and SMSes.

I'm on Xiaomi Mi Max Prime, MIUI 8.0.3 Global stable, marshmallow ROM. I can see the option to change network type for 2 SIM cards, but when i change one, the other one automatically follows. Meaning, whatever i change the sim 1 to, the SIM 2 gets changed as well. Is that supposed to be the logical outworking of your design?

No it doesn't. On marshmallow or higher, it should be able to switch network from those 2 slots independently. However, some OEM or device doesn't support switching it independently. Usually devices that comes with android lollipop or earlier doesn't support independent network switching. But as always, there will be some exceptions. I apologize if it doesn't work.

I've not tested in CM yet, since I don't have a device which has RIL and has CM ROM for it. This app has to negotiate with selinux. I heard that CM has pretty restrictive selinux policy. Maybe you can try to disable selinux by executing"setenforce 0" on a superuser shell. Please note that this disables selinux temporarily until reboot.
when I open the app it show this message.

OK. Judging from the screenshot that you posted earlier, your issue doesn't stem from SELinux, and the app get root access properly. Seems like an issue with nougat API 25. Unfortunately, I don't have a nougat device at the moment . Will investigate the issue after getting a nougat device (or AVD!)

Hi, I am using samsung galaxy s7 delivered with an android version before version 7 nougat.
At first I updated OTA. But yesterday I flashed android 7 (last version) via Odin and repartition option. So it should be a clean installation.
As I understood there is file based encryption instead of full encryption now. Bringing an option called direct boot.
As I read the secure startup option should not be available in android 7 (if updated with full wipe). But I also read that it was added again in a newer version of android 7.
I tought if direct boot (without secure startup option) is enabled the device will boot untill lock screen and some option like calls, notifications.. are available. But for example if there is a call, only the number not the name will be displayed because contacts are still encrypted. But when I tested it, the name is displayed. So I think there is no direct boot encryption in my device? Otherwise when I enable secure boot option I have to type in my password before there are notifications and calls.. available...
I want this: After restarting the galaxy s7 it should boot to lock screen. Some notifications and so on should be available (what I think this is direct boot), but my private datas should still be encrypted in a very secure way. After typing in my password all the other apps should be available. After locking the screen encryption protection should be there..
So how can I check if my galaxy s7 is using file based enryption? and why is there still the option "secure boot"? does it bring any advantage in how secure the encryption is? and why?
I am very confused. I would be so glad if anyone can help me! Thank you so much!
Kind regards alex

I'd like to thank @razorloves for working on a fix to the VVM problem. Razorloves has already provided the work to the Android project. Let's hope all goes well. The work is greatly appreciated.
Razorloves created a new "Dialer.apk" for LOS19. The LOS18 version is already being shared in that thread.
I've attached "Dialer-19.1.zip", which contains the file razorloves created with the fix. There's also a sourceforge download link. I don't know if that would be better.
To try this fix....
Enable USB debugging in your phone.
Enable ADB root in your phone.
Use these adb commands....
'adb root'
'adb remount'
'adb shell ls -l product/priv-app/Dialer'
--you should see the Dialer.apk file is from 2008
'adb push Dialer.apk product/priv-app/Dialer/Dialer.apk'
'adb shell ls -l product/priv-app/Dialer'
--you should see the Dialer.apk file is now from 2022
reboot your phone.
Hopefully, the fix will make it through AOSP & onto the official LOS19 ROM soon.
Got notice that the VVM issue has been closed. The Dialer app will be fixed in next build.
So, if you're on LOS19, you can just wait for the June 2 build.
Big thanks to @razorloves for the work that made it happen
EDIT: Sorry! Deleted this post because my lack of knowledge made it appear like I was insultingly impatient. Many thanks to all the people who make LOS available for us dunces.
Sincere apologies to anyone whom I might have offended.
Since I switched from LOS18 to LOS19, I'm having a couple of issues.
This is NOT a complaint. I'm simply sharing to see if others are also experiencing these.
I updated per the LOS webpage instructions (ie. not a clean install). Phone has no custom-kernel,
no GApps, and no Magisk. Build is June 9th (latest).
1) Calendar notifications.
I'm not getting calendar notifications. This was working fine in LOS18. I'd get a notification at the defined time before an event. Sometimes, while I'm working on the Calendar, I get old notifications (as in events from days ago). Today, while testing, I got a "Calendar keeps stopping" popup.
My calendar data is offline. I deleted my calendar and created a new one. Nothing changed.
2) Charging.
When I plug into my PC, I get the sound acknowledgment from my phone. The Battery screen tells
me "Charging". However, it is not charging.
EDIT: As always, I'm a day late and a dollar short.
This is a known LOS19 issue (with USB) that was being processed. They have a fix in place that we should see next build (June 16th). Thanks (again) to the LOS team for their time/effort!
Is anyone else having the Calendar issue? If you're not, did you update to LOS19? Or, did you perform a "first time" install (wipe data & such)?
Thanks for your time.
@mangokm40 How is the battery life on LOS 19?

I've not noticed any difference from LOS18. I'm very happy with the battery life.
I cannot compare to stock, as I've never used it.

4a LineageOS 19.1 Update 2022-06-16 - Security Bump
Using the built-in Updater, I OTA-updated Pixel 4a (Google Ed) LineageOS 19.1 sunfish build 2022-06-09 + lineage-19.1-20220609-recovery-sunfish to build 2022-06-16. I have no GApps, no custom-kernel, and Magisk is not installed. Everything went smoothly. I used 'Caffeine' & the "install" part took 12 minutes.
There are a bunch of changes as you can see here:
I tested the USB fix. It's not working for me. Thanks to user razorloves. I toggled the "Always allow USB connections" setting in "Settings->Privacy->Trust". My phone is now charging, even when locked.
After the reboot, I went to Settings->About phone->"Android version". The "Android security update" now shows "June 5, 2022".
The Vendor security patch level (just below) is also "June 5, 2022".
The Build number at the bottom is now "SQ3A.220605.009.A1".
The Baseband updated to "g7150-00090-220406-B-8411773".
See Android Security Bulletin - June 2022 for details about the security fixes.
I rebooted to recovery to verify that it was also updated. It now shows version "20220616" and active slot 'a'.
Thank you to the Lineage Team, PeterCxy, cdesai, & mikeioannina (listed as maintainers) for their work.
Are the quick tiles the same as the vanilla rom? (Big and Missing a wifi)?

This is what it looks like. The red arrow points to the 'edit' button.
If you don't see the 'WiFi' & 'Mobile Data' buttons, you can edit which tiles show up. I got rid of the new 'Internet' one.

Does LOS recovery allow for full system backup/restoration?
I am running stock Android 12 (rooted with a lot of customization that I don't want to setup again if I don't like LOS).

i use swiftbackup and nova launcher, its not as good as twrp ( still need log in verifications) but does restore all apps and screen positions , best and easiest solution i have found so far. Root reguired.
Is anyone running the latest version of LOS19 (lineage-19.1-20220623-nightly-sunfish-signed.zip) ?
I'm asking because there's this VVM issue open for a OnePlus7, running LOS18.
VVM is working for my 0616 build of LOS19, and the issue mentions it broke when they installed their device's 0619 build. Thus, I looked at the list of changes for our device here.
There are 5 changes to "android_packages_apps_Contacts".
There are also many changes to "android_vendor_lineage" that mention APN changes for various carriers.
I'm wondering if anyone is running the 0623 build & has VVM working.
Thanks.
Missed Calendar notifications & Trebuchet's 'Hidden apps'
1)
I found this way to fix my Calendar notifications in LOS19. I'm posting it here, in case someone else was having the same problem.
2)
If you've missed 'Hidden & protected apps' since your move to LOS19, there appear to be good news. The 'Changes to be included in next build' includes 'Trebuchet: implement hidden & protected apps'. WooHoo!

4a LineageOS 19.1 Update 2022-07-14 - Security Bump, Calendar Update, Hidden Apps
Using the built-in Updater, I OTA-updated Pixel 4a (Google Ed) LineageOS 19.1 sunfish build 2022-06-16 + lineage-19.1-20220616-recovery-sunfish to build 2022-07-14. I have no GApps, no custom-kernel, and Magisk is not installed. Everything went smoothly. I used 'Caffeine' & the "install" part took 11 minutes.
There are a bunch of changes as you can see here.
The ones that I noticed are:
1) Security Bump - see details below.
2) Calendar Update - the update to version 1.0.30 didn't clear the search crash problem. The battery use is now forced to "Unrestricted", to allow all notifications to appear on time.
3) Hidden & Protected Apps - It remembered all my hidden apps from LOS18 & they were hidden without needing any new input from me. WooHoo!
After the reboot, I went to Settings->About phone->"Android version". The "Android security update" now shows "July 5, 2022".
The Vendor security patch level (just below) is also "July 5, 2022".
The Build number at the bottom is now "SQ3A.220705.003.A1".
The Baseband remains as "g7150-00090-220406-B-8411773".
See Android Security Bulletin - July 2022 for details about the security fixes.
I rebooted to recovery to verify that it was also updated. It now shows version "20220714" and active slot 'b'.
Thank you to the Lineage Team, PeterCxy, cdesai, & mikeioannina (listed as maintainers) for their work.
Hello, can someone help me with the following question?
* Does Google Pay / banking apps work good with this rom? I suppose that magisk is needed along with some safetynet fix?
Thanks!
