Here is the most up to date Inverted Exchange Security Bypass Email modded apk out there. This allows you to use your corporate email without using a security pin. It is also the only 4.2.2 that is also inverted.
I was looking for this, and couldn't find one compiled for easy use, so just put it together for those flashers that couldn't/didn't want to put it together.
This was tested on CM 10.1 and AOKP JB. It should work on any AOSP JB ROM. Please let me know if it works for you. If you have a non AOSP rom, then delete your current email and exchange apks (backup) then flash this.
I need to thank teamBaked over at Rootz for the inverted email 4.2.2 (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29460-in...ate-4-5-googlesearchnow2410-googlemusic45914/), and rustamabd for the hacked libs and script file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452)

It's AOSP built (no carrier customization) so it might work.
Make sure to do a nandroid backup before hand, in case something goes awry.

This is built on AOSP (CM10.1 to be exact), so it might work with a nexus. You will still need root and custom recovery, unless you plan to push the apks directly.
Let us know if it works.
Not working for me, not sure if I am missing a step?
Removed exchange accounts
Rebooted into recovery
Wiped both caches
Installed the zip from the sd card
Rebooted
When the phone comes back up it says Android has Updated and optimizes its apps. When I setup the exchange account it asks me for permission which I grant then I get dumped into the lock screen settings and the only two choices are PIN and passcode. Also doesn't look inverted. What am I screwin up?

Is Wicked a touchwiz based ROM?
If so, you will need to try removing the email built in to the ROM.

So far working perfectly on HTC One with 4.2.2 Sense 5.0.
I just froze the stock email app with Titanium, flashed in recovery, removed PIN number from previous setup, then setup new exchange email with this app. It does everything normally except asking for a PIN.

Hi, I just flashed the ICS ROM for my g2x and also running CM9, everything works great but only few problems I found. My market place wont open up. I tried re-flashing the ROM but that didn't work. I also tried installing the Market APK file but that didn't work either. I cant even install apps through the browser. Any ideas as to why and how I can fix this?
Also I cant sign into any of my Google accounts and my clock app doesnt work, The alarms are still running but I cant open the app or edit the alarms. Any help would be appreciated.
maybe wrong gaaps file?

Have you quickly tried reflashing it?? I had to do reflash mine like 3-4 times before I get everything working right..... Weird that technology has to be this way!
I've modded the policy of Nfc.apk, so that the Nfc service is active even when screen is locked. Now you don't have to unlock anymore if you press the phone against a tag.
Screen must be "on" for sure, as Nfc is never active when phone is in standby - it would never enter deep sleep then.
Flash in CWM, odexed or deodexed Jelly Bean, enjoy!
If you encounter problems, I attached the original Nfc.apk too, so you can roll back whenever you want.
Update: added a fixed version, some had problems with the other. It works on odexed and deodexed systems.

Nice.
I use NFC every day, and unlocking the screen does not bother me, but I remember thinking at the beginning it would be more useful if I did not have to unlock first. I am going to try it.
It did not work for me. The NFC option disappeared altogether
The stock NFC zip restored it without any problem.

Do you mean the "option" in "Settings"?
I see no reason for that in my mod, as I changed 2 variables in smali only. Strange... Might it be that it depends on your ROM?
I am on Stock 4.1.2 and I know from others that it worked for them very well.

Did you install my "fixed"-Version or the old one, which isn't online anymore?
If so, install the fixed one. If you did that already, please ask Omar, because Nfc.apk is stock out of the box, nothing changed but only two variables. On stock ROM it works flawlessly.

re- and deinstalled it some more times and somehow it started working. no idea why, but it works now.
I'll give it a new shot but I already re- and deinstalled the app few times ... strange
EDIT: this is silly.. I retry today and now it work ! ... sometimes android is a kind of magic
Sorry if this is a repeat but I can't seem to find a similar problem. After staying on froyo for 2 years my phone started to slow down and give random application errors. I decided to try a new rom for the first time. I tried installing clockworkmod recovery and almost bricked my phone. A flash with gingerbread using odin got a working os on my infuse again. This came with red recovery already installed. For 2 weeks I used this rom and found that my dataconnection was super slow, random app errors and almost no wifi reception drove me to try something else. I flashed gingerbread bootloaders to get rid of the rainbow recovery(literally could not see a thing in recovery) and factory reset, cleared cache and flashed CWM 9 for infuse this post. This rom is running fast, data and wifi are great but there is a serious error. When I make a call, after selecting the number to call the screen goes black and unresponsive. No amount of button pushing will bring it back. Also you can see that the IR light on the front of the phone next to the phone turns on. The call is made and when the recipeint hangs up the phone will come back. If there is no cell signal this does not happen, the call screen normally appears and you can cancel the call. I have cleared cache, wiped data and dalvik cache, then reflashed this rom and the problem persists. I also downloaded a 3rd party dialer which displays the same symtoms. Is there a way to fix this? Is there a better rom to use? Any suggested workarounds would be nice. I would just like to get my phone back to a stable working os as I use it for android development. Some things specific to my situation: I live in Poland now. My phone is unlocked from ATT&T to work on european networks. This was working fine on froyo. I would post this on the developer thread but I don't have permission to do so yet. Thanks in advanced for any help/suggestions.
Go to delopment section and find cm10.1 by scott hart and odin back to stock with root/cmw follow instruction exactly the way the are coming from stock and should be good to go. And install GB bootloaders it will take care of not seeing recovery clearly and u can find how tos in stickies in delopment(I think) but do or research before u ask a lot of question and post bug. Its a good idea to read last 3-10 pages on a tom or going to install to know if there are any major issues or bugs.
This is just advise I have done what I telling and have not problems but i am not responsible if u brick ur phone

Thanks for the help. I did try a different dialer which I downloaded from the market, but it had the same problems. I have already moved on to Jelly Bean and so far everything is working great. One problem that I still have is my Titanium Backup of my contacts wont work. This happened in ICS as well. Titanium says it works and suggests a reboot. After rebooting still no contacts. Unfortunately I didn't have these contacts synced with my Google account. Any ideas on how to extract the contact information from titanium and import it to the contacts app? I know the backup is good, I was able to use it when I updated to Ginger Bread.

I've got an idea, I think my problem is because I didn't make a fresh backup after I flashed ginger bread. I think the 'contacts' app must have changed database formats between froyo and ICS. If I were able to take that backup file and load it into an AVD, then restore my contacts and export them to my gmail account I think I could recover them on my phone without reflashing GB to do a fresh/compatible backup. Do you think it's possible or would most likely fail. I've never tried to bring files into an AVD but I do know that I have internet connectivity while debugging apps. It seems possible that I should be able to send files to the AVD as well.

Is there a better option? Can I upgrade the software without unrooting ?

If you want to take the OTA update you will need to unroot. I would highly advise against this as you will permanently lock your bootloader down but if that's what you choose then so be it

I see foxfi hasn't been updated in the play store in nearly 3 years. Some roms have the Hotspot feature built in as far as what roms have it built in, as far as newer roms that much I don't know. I'm running the last build of CleanRom and its built in.
I understand a lot of apps currently require a newer version of Android to run. My suggestion would be to check out the development forums for the VZW S3 and see which roms have it built in rather than having to buy the app itself

I tried reading up, but this seems intimidating. Maybe you can point me in the right direction...my ONLY needs are a working camera (slow motion would be VERY nice to have if available), hotspot tether that I can use without paying the monthly fee (I have unlimited data), and software version that actually works with apps from the playstore.
As far as I know, I have 4.1.2 software, unlocked bootloader and I'm rooted.

I'll also chime in. If OP is looking to update his phone, there are 2 paths. The stock path, which will be up to KitKat based roms (android 4.4) because that was the last update the S3 ever received. You could install something like superliterom (found in our android developement thread). But from your needs (hotspot, and camera) you can go all the way on to marshmallow (android 6) using CM13 which is what I'm running. The only bugs now are bluetooth (it may crash if you're playing music through bluetooth and receiving a call through bluetooth like in a car for example), gps is slow to lock (which is a problem is most of the CM roms), and some minor front camera bugs ie. instagram will crash, but every other camera and video camera/video calling app will work that I've tried. If I was in your shoes, I would try CM13 to see if you like it, and then bounce down from there to a 4.4 or 4.3 rom as a solid 2nd or third choice. I went from cleanrom, to alliance 4.3, to cm12.1 (I could never get gps to lock on this, but everything else worked), to cm13. They are all solid. Even something like slimkat 4.4 has pretty good reviews. But don't ever take the OTA update...there is no point in that now besides locking your phone forever and limiting the usability of your phone.
I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question, but if I install cm13 will I lose all my text messages, emails, app settings, etc.??

Yes. I wouldn't suggest updating to a newer rom without wiping the internal storage. You could always backup text messages. Emails automatically save to the Gmail app and the app settings well that can't be recovered but you could always set it the way it was previously

Correct. You can use third party apps as well. I've been using one for years and it catches call logs also

Ok, so I've downloaded "Oct-M-R1-6.0.1 for d2vzw", the MD5 checksum, and "open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160806".
I have just installed TWRP 3.0.2 on my device and it appears to be working.
Now what?
Put the files onto my microsd or onto my phone storage?
Install from TWRP and that's it?
I have titanium backup, should I run that first? OR is there a backup option from twrp??
VERY specific directions would be appreciated! Thanks LOL
PS - One last thing, what developer options need to be checked or unchecked if any in my phone settings.

In developer options you really only need to enable USB debugging.
As far as installing the rom putting it on your SD card should be efficient or once in TWRP you can mount the internal and move it into there if connected to a pc. As far as installing it's pretty straight forward.
Wipe internal completely but DO NOT wipe your SD card. Install the zip first then gapps and ensure you wipe cache and dalvik. Once done reboot and let the device sit for about 10 minutes without touching it to let the rom settle down, once done just reinstall everything. I do not recommend to install apps via titanium backup (i.e. Data for those apps) anymore questions feel free to ask

Ok, I started the process. Did my backup from twrp and then installed the zip from my sd and gapp at same time...phone has been in a boot loop for about an hour....every now and then it says "Android Starting - optimizing apps", then starting apps....should i just keep waiting or redo it???

The rom may of not played well with the device. I installed lollipop on my S3 and it was quite slow. I'd say restore the backup but you can try installing it again but I forewarn you that it may just not work at all

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I restored my version, worked fine...then tried again and got boot loop again...back to my 4.1.2 for now until I can figure it out. Second time I went into advanced and wiped the system, too...didn't help.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated....could I have a bad zip file?
I came across this link https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2vzw , which should I download? What's the difference between all of these versions? Nightly vs. Snapshot vs. Stable? Also, what is the "Release" and the "Recovery"
