So I am brand new to Android and like it so far. I have a Vodafone HTC magic 32b. But really miss Exchange native support.
So my question is can anyone point me to ROMS that have Native Exchange support. I hear Android 2 can do this and like the sound of that. But also I hear that some 1.6 one will do it.
Please remember that I am new to android and I have found the HTC_Sapphire_Hacking site. I have flashed plenty of windows mobile in my time (those days are gladly gone now) but not done android.
Thanks
Just download dwang's rom (check my signature) or Cyanogenmod (any version) and extract the Mail.apk from it, and install on your phone.
You can extract it just by going into the zip file and having a look around, can't remember the exact location but it was easy to find.
To install the apk either use "adb" from the android SDK (adb install mail.apk) or copy it to your sd card and install it using Astro.
Hope this helps.
PS. you are better off posting in sappire general for this as your questions are not related to rom development.
Thanks for that
Great answer and will open up a new thread in the the apropriate thread as I get an error saying
--------------------------------
Application not installed
Work email could not be installed on this phone
---------------------------------
I guess i may need to flash yet
Thanks again
Need FULL Exchange support (Mail, Contacts, and Calendar) ?
If you need REAL Exchange support (not just email), you really need an HTC (not GOOGLE) branded ROM. Nearly every HERO ROM fits this criteria, but the following link provides a non-Hero ROM (EVERYTHING works, and it's FAST because it's meant for the sapphire). I've used it on two 32B Sapphires now for a couple months is it's the best ROM I can find that provides full exchanges support. Aside from not having SenseUI, I can't see any reason to run another ROM yet either. If Eclair/2.0 get perfected, that would be a reason to move because it appears to have native Exchange support built in (whereas the HTC ROMs have the support because HTC added it, not Google). I did a LOT of research to come to this conclusion.

Now that sounds like my answer, will do this tonight.
Thanks rainabba
One more question guys?
I am all ready to go but need advice on the "wipe device" option on the recovery rom.
There are half a dozen options. Which should i choose?
Thanks

This was exactly the information I was looking for. Not what I was hoping to hear, but what I was looking for.
I rooted and installed Cyanogen on my previously virgin Rogers Magic 32A, and was a little disappointed to see Exchange Calendar sync gone along with the other HTC trims.
Don't get me wrong - Cyanogen is awesome, but I'm really looking forward to a fully working Eclair ROM now... I think the ROM you link to is 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Yep, I couldn't give up all the Cyanogen goodness just because of lameExchange.
Best scenario I have come to love:
-Keep Cyanogen w/ Work Email
-Run Google Calendar Synch 2-way on the Corpo Laptop
-Export Outlook Contacts to Gmail (include frequent Co. Directory contacts)
I just keep working right along; emailing, scheduling, contacting without a hiccup (meetings pop-up, no duplicate contact bs, etc).
Exchange support
The options (I've used all three of them)...
1). Buy an app from the market that offers Exchange support (Roadsync is only US$10, works fine... safest option, as it doesn't involve flashing a ROM).
2). Get a custom rom that supports it. The 2 general types that I've used include Hero ROMs and ROMs based upon the Rogers phones. Hero is too slow for me, however, and the Rogers ROMs don't even have Donut yet.
3). Get an Eclair ROM. I'm currently using Eugene's AOSP, and while there are some issues (no camera, sync loop), the Exchange support is pretty nice. It's not completely clear to me, but I think the Exchange calendar suppport comes from a Moto app that was sucked off the Droid. Eclair offers calendar and mail sync with Exchange natively.
You can choose which one works best for you. For the longest time, I was running cyanogen with Roadsync, and had no problems whatsoever.
@hackitall and @jstegeman
Good posts both. Thanks for that.
I think for me I like hackitall's kluge... at least until a more stable Eclair ROM is out. It doesn't have to be cyanogen, but at least stable with all of the "normal" features like camera, etc.
At the breakneck development pace, I'd expect this sooner than later. Happy times.

Not to take anything from the great Cyanogen, but what "goodness" is lost with the Rogers ROM (or do you even know)?
BTW, your solution is beyond a PITA. I know because I tried it and a number of other "solutions" before realizing that it was all a waste of time for someone like myself that needs REAL syncing (not exporting contacts for example). Also, if you're willing to pay for a Google corp account, might as well save the hassle and buy a license for cemaphore. It does all the syncing w/o any of the BS.

Two words: Google Navigation
It's totally awesome and requires 1.6... at least I haven't seen anyone supporting it on 1.5 yet.
Ahh
Ok, i guess if I wasn't already running 2.0 on a droid, didn't have such a need for Exchange support, and/or didn't already have nDrive or my Alpine Navi unit, that would make sense
Well seing as I asked the question I thought I would say thanks for all the great help and advice.
I have ended up with roadsync on the origional rom.
I did try every rom out there 2 buggy, HERO Sssllllllooooowwwwww built in exchange support on 1.6 did not work with exchange at work (not enough security)
Great fun
hi, i don't know this is the right forum. i used "read it later" heavily in winmo (thanks to vizier and his latereader) and am now switching to android. it seems that the read it later client paperdroid is no longer supported by the developer in froyo. has anyone able to make it work or do you think some of our talented developers can make it work again?
Will it not install? Will it not launch? Does it run but just not work?
it installs fine but crashes right away after launching.
You should use logcat or any other log capture app to see why it crashes. It would help finding out what's going on and if its possible to fix.
FYI, paperdroid is running fine for me on 2.2 on my evo... Aren't there a few options for read it later on android? I thought I saw a few different apps for it on the read it later site.
Sent from my phone.
thanks for your responses. i will check again if it works or not (I tried several times already but if you got it working there may be hope). i will try logging the error reports also.
as for other ReadItLater clients, Paperdroid seems to be the only Android full RIL client. There seem to plugins for saving links etc.
Also, what phone do you have?
I have a HD2 and run Android off of the SD card. I don't know if that might be the problem.
I tried a different Android built and Paperdroid seems to work. So it's not a Froyo issue after all.
Thanks for all your replies.
I am in need for some despirate help! Let me start first with the problem. I am running CM6.1.1 and am unable to connect to my exchange email. When I fill the appropriate boxes with the correct information, I get an error saying:
"Setup could not finish
This server requires security features your phone does not support"
So my question is what security features is the evo missing? I was able to set up my exchange email without any problems on sense roms.
So now here is what I have done to trouble shoot and alleviate this problem. I have checked both boxes on the setup page "use secure connection" and "accept all SSL certificates" still no go. I have installed numerous different versions including a 2.1 version, 2.2 version, and then 3-4 versions with the security bypass. Still nothin. I have also tried improved email from the market, and you guessed it. Still nothin. lol I just want the stock email app to work for me. I don't mind the security features that come along with exchange either as long as it works.
I was using the trial version of touchdown for a while.. It worked. But I didn't really like the app and I don't want to pay 20 bucks for an email app.
So now Im going for the hail mary... One last try to find someone that may have the answer I'm looking for! Do any of you fellow friends out there know of a possible fix?
By the way I am on exchange 2007.
Thanks for reading!!
this is a known error with googles AOSP mail app which CM, MIUI and any other AOSP based ROM uses. currently only sense ROM's (I recommend MYN's,Calks,Fresh) mail app works with additional security features. My suggestion is to either download an app like touchdown (paid) or NAND your CM setup and flash any of those SENSE roms and wait for 2.3 to come out which i believe will work better with secure exchange environments

That's what I was afraid of... I don't think I could bear going back to a sense based rom lol... I've been running cm since before 6.1. Im just getting tired of logging online to check my mail! well it looks like ill have to live with it for a little while longer. Thanks for the reply!
no problem, you can't go wrong with Myn, calk or any of the well supported sense roms and you might actually like it the horrors

Hey everyone:
I am not really sure where to start, but ill give it a shot:
My wife wants a home phone, and I don't really feel it's necessary, but I kept seeing the Archos 35 Smart home phone, I couldn't find it anywhere, went to eBay.co.uk and found a place selling them, called them, got it shipped to me.
After figuring out some minor power adaptor related issues, I now have a working Archos android home phone.
Basically it has Android 2.2 and I would like to root it, cook/install a custom ROM and get the Android Market on it, but I have no idea where to start.
I have rooted several different phones and installed all kinds of custom ROMs, (including some of the hardest phones to unlock/root, like Moto Atrix, Telus HTC Desire HD, etc.) So ability is not an issue. I have just never been the first to have a phone, or a need to figure out how to root/cook my own ROM.
Where do I start? I want to make this baby all it can be!
I also know this phone is coming to North America in the next few months, so this development could potentially help some NA users in the future.
I am able to install from unknown sources, so that may help with known root methods...
Please, if you are in the know, let me know what I need to do. Keep in mind that this would be the first time I would be doing it, so step-by-step instructions, or a link to a place that can give me step-by-step directions would be nice.
Thanks!

I would like to know more about that phone model.
I hope somebody helps you.
Can you block phone numbers to avoid scam calls or telemarketing with it?
Superoneclick. Z4root. Gingerbreak. There are others you may get lucky.

Go to AppsLib and install ArcTools - that will get you started and let you install Market, GMail etc. Had my Smart Home Phone about a week now and trying to iron out some bugs.
Caller ID has stopped displaying so I did a reset and now I have lost all the default Archos apps including AppsLib!
Will have to get the latest Firmware online and reinstall
Hi all, Updated to CM10.1 AOSP 4.2.1 Jellybean on my HTC Sensation. All works excellently other than I can no longer connect to Exchange, getting the "this server requires security features that your android..." error. I've Google it and looked on this forum but can't seem to find any definitive answer. My Sensation is running the above ROM, rooted, and, Android 4.2.2 and the Exchange server is 2003. Firmware is 3.3 which I had to update prior to this ROM. Nothing has been changed on the Exchange server and indeed until I flashed this new rom it sync'd no problem. My previous rom was on ICS and I though I had heard that there were problems with ICS and active sync but can't find any details on it.
I tried this hack too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452 but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Interestingly enough, when I look at exchange via OWA and remove all mobile devices and then try to connect the phone again it shows up.
Is this problem because CM10.1 AOSP doesn't support EAS?
Thanks for any help.

I am not any help, but I see the exact same issue with my EVO LTE on CM10.1. Shows up in the OWA devices log and everything. I have googled the heck out of it to no avail. I am able to gain access using the Touchdown app, but that is not a very good solution (and it costs $20 when the stock app is perfectly fine). I have not tried the custom apps that remove security like the one you link to. I do not mind the security features as much as I just want to connect to my work email. My company has an "iPhone only" policy, but If I revert back to a 4.1 ROM, I am able to connect. As far as I know, there is no way to restrict the type of device from the server side; it just checks to see if the correct sercurity is in place.
