The tool did not work for me, so I figured out something else. Here is the result, maybe someone will be happy, to get this, otherwise it is just a little bit wasted space on the db of the bulletin board
Requirements:
- Rooted Device
- Uninstall any Active exchange account and delete the security pin/pass for the lock screen! Otherwise you won't be able to switch that off until you do a factory reset!
- Root Explorer (download from playstore, it is not free) or something simililar (ADB would work, too.. I guess) (Link)
Instruction:
- Backup your original SecEmail_J.apk and SecExchange.apk from /system/app
- Set /system/app to R/W
- Replace SecEmail_J.apk and SecExchange.apk with the ones from the Download (in /system/app)
- Reboot your device

Sorry, because of DDL Host, but Files were to big for attachment.
Tested with N9005, I have no glue, if it works with other models, but I think, there should be nor diffrence in the affected APK files.
Thanks for your files which I have been waiting for since I got rooted my Note 3. Just installed your patched APKs but I am still prompted (which I didn't proceed) to encrypt my external SD card after configuring with my office Exchange server.
Can you look into this?
I
Is it possible, that your company requires a mdm app, which configures your E-Mail App?
I don't think so as I was able to use the patch at this URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117452
on my Galaxy Note 2 successfully without any issues.
Thank you Olli2k .. just to confirm that those files are working .. i have tried them on my Note 3 with Omega 2.1 Rom. followed your instruction and wallaaaa .. Good Job.
Worked fine for me too Thx
Does this approach still grant the corporate goons device administration privileges?

UPDATE 3
--------------
Added modified GMail v3.2.1 for HC and GMail v4.0.3 for ICS based ROMs. Make sure you download the right one for your OS (GB, HC, or ICS).
--------------
Hey guys, for those of you who didn't know, the Gmail application now RESTRICTS access to your emails by third party apps. This basically means that any app that needs access to your email database (for example, Pure Messenger Widget) will be LOCKED OUT and therefore Gmail will be disabled in said application.
So I went ahead and modified the latest Gmail apk to ALLOW EXTERNAL ACCESS to re-enable support for apps that require it. Hope this helps anyone who needed it.
Install Instructions (YOU MUST BE ROOTED!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
0) DOWNLOAD CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR OS AND RENAME TO Gmail.apk
1) Open Root Explorer (or any other root file manager you like)
2) NAVIGATE to /data/app
3) DELETE com.google.android.gm-1.apk (it might say com.google.android.gm-2.apk for some people or it may not exist at all)
4) NAVIGATE to /system/app
5) Mount Read/Write
6) DELETE Gmail.apk
7) COPY new modified Gmail.apk into /system/app
8) CHANGE permissions to Owner = read/write, Group = read, Others = read.
---(The following may not be necessary but its HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)---
9) REBOOT into Recovery
10) Wipe Cache/Dalvik-Cache/Fix Permisions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11) REBOOT!
NOTE: Some apps may require you to uninstall and reinstall the program before it is able to see the change in Gmail (for example, Pure Messenger Widget)
DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!
APK Re-added.
I was having issues with regards to getting the app to show up after reboot but realized it wasn't actually a problem with the modification, but it was a problem with the permissions.
lol guess i was the only one who needed this... ah well, if anyone needs it its here, hopefully people know how to use the search
lol...dont worry dude.. keep up the great work..!!
Thanks for this! Google are a bunch of tight ass losers for restricting access to Gmail...

Thanks for this, I've been looking for a way to make LED Flow change the LED color for emails from different contacts!
No problem everyone, I will keep this thread updated with newer modified versions as Google releases them.
What do you mean when you say "mount read/write" in step 5?
Nevermind, I figured it out. Explorer didnt allow me to mount r/w or change permissions so I installed Root Explorer and worked it out.....much better file system explorer btw. Thanks for the tutorial.
via x10i WB GB v4.0 edition
Uploaded hacked version of the newest Gmail application (v2.3.5.2).
Now we can have gmail timescape for the latest app
Yeah sorry i took so long to upload the new version, my phone has been disconnected for a few months now so i dont use it too much lol.

It doesn't seem to work with Launcher Pro's Gmail widget :/
Thanks for this. Just put it on my SGS, now SlideScreen works again, fully .
make sure keep this updated LOL
Slidescreen is back in businesssssss!
Subscribed
It works, thanks.
Working, nice job man, thanks!
Cant get this to work with slidescreen, but it works with launcherPro :s
THanks for this, it's exactly what I've been looking for however I seem to get stuck doing the steps involving pasting into system/data basically nothing ever pastes there despite me setting the read write permissions as suggested. Guy who got slidescreen working using this how exactly did you go about it? exactly as described?
Thanks so much for this fantastic hack!
Mind letting us know exactly what you did?
I ask because I'm using I'm already using a modded themed apk, and obviously I can't use both at the same time.
Hi,
BIG CREDITS to Blackwatch89, kantk20111, tyris, chriscx, vmcms, IncubusUA... all helping people
ONLY a PART IS MY WORK
IMPORTANT:
If you installed any previouse applications from 2.3.4 use your backup to get not mixed rom.
Please be sure your phone contain only x10 2.3.3 files!
contains:
- music player, FB2 and Home
- swipe keyboard, thanks to Blackwatch89
- releated framework
- dlna app
- several widgets
- timescape with widget and plugins
- auto-brithness is now as a widget not in menu
- data monitor
- Gallery3D thx tyris
- TrackID (I noticed only loading animation is new)
- Email (count notification in icon)
- contacts storage (landscape possible when contact detail is showed) (i think old was the reason why FB contacts sometimes doubled)
- setup wizard
- theme manager (set only wallpaper)
- ...
Before flash:
- remove fb account from phone
MAKE BACKUP BEFORE USE
flash this:
flashable zip HERE, only for not modified stock 2.3.3 ROM
NOTE: If you were on v4 flash also original battery icon or battery icon in %.
Thx vmcms. I used framework.jar and framework-res.apk from vmcms's thread in v4. I learn from the files.
After flash:
- wipe cache
- wipe delvik cache
- widgets must be readded with the new Home
Troubles?
- in case of trouble with FB:
--- go on http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications and remove all xperia releated aplications, the phone will ask for permition again - thx Zulea for try and confirm solution
--- remove all facebook accounts from phone, reboot and add again
- in case of trouble with contacts - FB contacts doubled - Make sure you dont use contacs in phone but with the google account. Then go to Setting/Apps/Manage apps/All and delete data for Contact Storage. This will remove all contact in your phone. Then reboot and let the phone to sync and download all contacts again.
- in case of stuck at SE boot logo: reboot
Port also works well on Wolfbreak v6. Read this and this.
On WB v6 DLNA application FC - solution go into system/app and reinstall DLNA.
If you have xlaud and bravia flash this.
I used files from newest ROM 4.0.1.A.0.283 in the zip.
MAKE BACKUP BEFORE USE
New timescape and theme manager not worked yet.
New versions will come slow, sorry. I dont have many time now and need to do other things. I started this instead of asking for that - because no one other did. I just wanted the new keybord on the begin... I dont have proper knowledges to provide real support. Im going to improve my knowledges in this craft, which is not "three days task". Sorry if i will not answear all posts. I will try my best as much as is in my possibilities. I just share this with no guarantee. Feel free to make it better and provide I did not expect so many downloads. It makes me feel responsible but im not sure if am able to meet the accountability. Will try my best
This is what I do befor testing - get wiped and clean rom. I think the easiest way.
oldfiles do not use:
flashable zip BETA version 3 HERE, only for not modified stock 2.3.3 ROM
update from v2 to v3 HERE, only for stock 2.3.3 ROM with v2
flashable zip BETA version 2 HERE, only for not modified stock 2.3.3 ROM
files from LT18i_2.3.4_Build_4.0.1.A.0.266
This file contains:
-x10i 2.3.3 stock system apps it will overide almost all stock aps!
-x10i 2.3.3 stock framework except framework.jar and framework-res.apk....
ALL IN ONE FILE INTENDED FOR STOCK 2.3.3 HERE
THEN INSTALL THIS FIX 3 FILE
previouse fixes (only history, dont use)
Fix 1
Fix 2
This is my system.img with v2.
thank you so much

I'm testing, it seems to work, Ive been able to share an app to facebook, I continue to test----
Ok, using for few minutes
- app share works
- media discovery etc. works
- music works
- widgets works
Some little issues: it is still asking for permissions (Facebook Inside Xperia) and Running Services FC
player works fine
FC with Timescape when trying to update events: closes com.sonyericsson.eventstream.extensions
in appshare app: my apps: connection error (i have french version so i translate about)
in account and sync: i have problem of sync for facebook inside xperia : only the with ALBUM
Is screen capture included?
Remove all fb accounts, go to appmanager, show all aps, remove all manualy. installed fb applications showed as updates, delete data for all fb releated apps, reboot and try to add account again... I think still is. Mixed FB1 and FB2. It maybe shows double fb accounts in your accounts.

I hope yes. Its mixed in the zip not only in your phone. I played with the accounts and now it is working... I had repeated requests too when I removed accounts.
in app manager, there is only facebook 1.7.1 facebook extension 2.0.12 and semcfacebookproxy, widget timescape 3.0.1
so it must be eventstream apks ?
EDIT: I think I see a bit: I have timescape 0.9.6 the app, not the widget. and I guess it should be timescapeSpline 1.0.21 but if i install this it's getting worst
for all: delete /system/app/SEMCFacebookService.apk This file is not necessary anymore

I did it now
I have timescape 0.9.6 by the way
still FC in the widget
and still connection error in app-share app
EDIT: keyboard works great
for me it's not urgent anymore with facebook, relax !
I can confirm that you can remove SEMCFacebookService.apk it's not needed, and because of it you get constantly prompted for FB login.
I didn't try this, but installed everything with old methods, and removed SEMCFacebookService.apk before loging in FB for first time.
very nice, thanks
install please first fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?dybasc3zn6la5rj it will remove the file and add 2 next files from LT18i which i found suitable.
I just removed fb accounts and add back and it works great

Update: Feb. 26, 2013 - Added CM10.1 Email app (Email2.apk). Delete existing Exchange account off the device, flash Email2.apk zip (listed below), reboot, clear data on 'Email' and 'Exchange Services' apps, re-setup Exchange account on device. Exchange services may FC once or twice, but will then work fine and begin syncing email/contacts/calendars.
Update: Oct. 15, 2012 - Update Genie Widget to version from Google apps 10.11.2012 (v 4.1.2)
Update: Oct. 11, 2012 - Existing apps tested with CM10 10112012 M2 build, confirmed working. Also added CM10 Email app, and bumped Nova Launcher to current 1.3.1 build.
Here are a couple of CWM flashable apps for CM9/CM10 that I've put together. Each zip is configured with the addon.d backup and restore functionality so that the app is automatically backed up and restored as part of flashing a nightly build. No need to reinstall them every time.
Installation: Download the zip(s) to your phone, reboot into cwm recovery, flash one or more of the zip packages, and then reboot.
I'll add more if there are specific requests.
Google apps (ics) 04.29.2012: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Google apps (jb) 10.11.2012: gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
-- Not my work, just linking for convenience.
WISP Service: wisp-service-cwm.zip -- This is the AT&T Hot Spots service that performs automatic login to AT&T WiFi networks such as attwifi, hhonors, or other AT&T WiFi provided networks.
Email Exchange (CM9) : cm-9-EmailExchange-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip -- This is the Email.apk and Exchange.apk 4.1 for the latest CM9 nightly builds which has been modified to disable the Device Administrators policy.
Email (CM10): cm-10-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip -- CM10 Email.apk with Device Administrators disabled.
Email (CM10.1): cm-10.1-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip -- CM10.1 Email2.apk with Device Administrators disabled.
Nova Launcher 1.3.1: NovaLauncher-1.3.1-cwm.zip -- This is the stock Nova Launcher 1.3.1 packaged with the addon.d functionality. Did not touch the apk, provided for convenience.
Digital Clock Widget: digital-clock-cwm.zip -- This is the digital clock widget from the stock AT&T rom with the touchwiz references removed so that it will run on CM9.
Digitial Clock Widget (transparent background): digital-clock-transparent-cwm.zip -- Same as digital clock above, but with transparent background.
Digitial Clock Widget (JB UCLK4 leak): digital-clock-jb-tw-cwm.zip -- Digitial clock from UCLK4 JellyBean leak (transparent, updated font.)
Genie Widget (transparent background): geniewidget-transparent-cwm.zip -- Stock Gapps News & Weather widget with a transparent background, instead of black. Note: flash this after gapps zip if you are flashing both, otherwise gapps version will overwrite this one. 10/15/2012 - Updated to gapps-jb-20121011 version (v 4.1.2).
Added digital clock widget to OP.
Added digital clock and genie widget with transparent backgrounds to OP.
Nice work cschmitt. Is there any way you can do the same mod work to the actual clock application? Would be nice to have the Samsung alarm clock, stop watch and timer app.
Thanks.
The stock clock package has a bunch of touchwiz dependencies.

After posting on your thread I did more searching and found someone else already trying to do it. Yeah, it looks like it has deep ties into touchwiz. Oh well, one of the things to miss when going away from the samsung rom. I can find all of the functions scattered around the market and xda, but nobody does a real good job of building an all-in-on clock app. Found alarm clock ultra, probably the closest.
Thank you.

BeautifulWidgets is pretty good. It's like $2.99 or something like that, but it's a really nice set of widgets that includes clock, weather, alarms, and its got a nice look.

Thanks, I actually own it. I was really looking more for the clock app, with the stop watch, timer, world clock and alarm. The Samsung app is pretty nice. Both the one from our skyrocket and the one from the s3.

I love these and still use some of them. (The no security exchange is amazing)
Is there any need to update these for CM10? The email still works with the CM10 nightlies, I was just curious if there's a benefit to using the newer apk's
I saw a topic about how to remove the security settings, but making it flashable and having it restore after nightly updates is confusing me still
Thanks!

Like the Genie, your wish is my command...
Check the OP, added CM10 Email.apk from cm-10-20121011-EXPERIMENTAL-skyrocket-M2 build. Note that in CM10 only the Email.apk needed to be modified to disable Device Administrators, so Exchange2.apk wasn't touched.
Bumped Nova Launcher package to current 1.3.1 build.
The remaining apps in the OP function just fine in CM10.

I followed up by looking at the enabled device administrators section of security settings and sure enough email was listed in there. Does it show up but not take effect? The version I had previously on a 4.1.1 ROM worked and I never got prompted and it never showed up in the device administrators either.

There should be no entry for Email under Device Administrators.
I just tested this a couple of times this morning. Wiped the phone, flashed CM10.0.0, flashed cm-10-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip, factory reset, reboot. (Not the it's necessary to wipe and factory reset, just wanted to ensure a clean slate for the test.)
Opened Email to configure exchange account, was prompted with 'Remote security administration', The server .... requires that you allow it to remotely control some security features...', clicked OK, but there was no second prompt to activate the Device Administrator and there is no Email configuration under Security -> Device administrators.
Just to be clear, if an exchange account is currently configured, it must first be deleted along with the corresponding Device Administration entry. Then flash cm-10-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip, reboot, and re-configure the exchange account.

I'm still getting the Device Administrator prompt. This is the first time setting up the account on CM10 so it didn't exist previously. My process is, reboot into cwm, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install cm-10-toro.zip, install gapps, reboot, setup gmail, install apps from play store, update apps (if necessary), reboot into cwm, flash cm-10-Email-4.1-nosec-cwm.zip, reboot, setup exchange and I still get the device admin prompt.
I went into root explorer and found that the date/time stamps for the email.apk and exchange.apk under /system/app looked to be from 2008 so it appears that they are not updating when the zip is flashed. Went ahead and manually copied the email.apk from the zip into /system/app and didn't get a device administrator prompt but the exchange service fc'd. I'm guessing it's because I don't have a corresponding exchange.apk. I thought of extracting the two apks from my old rom but that one was not built off aosp so I think the files are emailgoogle.apk and exchange2google.apk so I don't think those will work. Any other ideas?
Anything flashed while in recovery will have an 2008-08-01 file date.
I haven't tested it on anything other than a Skyrocket-- should work, but can't guarantee it and have no way to test on other hardware.
BTW, I've experienced the Exchange FC once or twice when initially syncing an exchange account, just re-opened Email after the FC and it worked fine.
Are you installing the appropriate gapps package first?
Wipe - install cm10 - install gapps - install this email zip
If you are copying the apks manually, you will just copy the email apk from the zip into system, then change permissions on the apk, and then clear data for email and exchange
I've run this package on both the gapps from July and the ones from October that rpr had in his nightly builds

I did precisely what you said first, twice and i still got the entry in Device Administrators. Not sure what's up. GNex and CM10 stable, etc.
Got it working. Had to manually move the files over instead of flashing from cwm but it worked after the one exchange fc.

Did this and it worked. For any newbies like me make sure you move the \system\app\email.apk to your root \system\app\ and replace the other one. After that make sure it has Owner Read/Write permissions, Group read, and Others read permissions. Then clear data and execute it from that folder to install.
HOW TO REMOVE BLOATWARE
Step 1. Root your phone using one of the two methods listed here
ROOT YOUR LG G3

APP
This step will give you the following folder structure
RemovedApps/APP
RemovedApps/PRIV-APP
RemovedApps/VENDOR/APP
Step 4: Open Root Explorer and use the firs tab to navigate to root/system/ (NOTE: Root Explorer will ask for SuperSU permissions - make sure to give it permission) and the second tab in Root Explorer to Navigate to your newly created RemovedApps Folder
Step 5. use the following list to cut and paste the listed files from your system folder to the RemovedApps Folder NOTE: remember to copy files to corresponding folders IE system/app to RemovedApps/APP and System/vendor/app to RemovedApps/Vendor/APP NOTE: once you try to cut the system files, Root Explorer will ask if you are sure you want to modify system files - say yes

Step 6: To be safe, copy your RemovedApps folder to your computer for backup
Step 7: Reboot phone
WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS
Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.
Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T
Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.
Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ:
Q. Why do I need to be rooted to do this?
A. Because you will need access to the root and system folders.
Q. Why De-bloat my phone?
A. The manufacturer and the carrier install a bunch of branded apps that take up space and resources. By uninstalling these apps, you have less background activity, less space used and more resources to use for the apps you do want.
Q. Can I use Titanium Backup to Freeze these apps?
A. Freezing these apps will work, however freezing these apps does not free the space used by these apps.
Backup of Removed Files
Backup zip of Removed Files
Did you not follow the directions in the OP?
Did you just decide to delete everything instead of backing it up?
Are you trying to find the .apk for one of the apps you deleted?
Well you are lucky! Here is a zip of everything I told you to backup and remove!

I didn't have an odex file for ISIS wallet but as a general rule... If you remove the apk, you can remove the odex file as well

This is great. Thank you very much for the list. One question through. Would you be able to add descriptions to some of these apk names? I would prefer to know what I am removing. Like Gnss or LADDM, etc..
Thanks

If I remember correctly, LADDM is something to do with CarrierIQ. I think you shouldn't touch it on any LG AT&T ROM.

I've renamed LADDM after also stopping the related CarrierIQ services within Android System. I've seen no adverse effects.

There is no issues with removing LADDM.apk - it is CarrierIQ. It will not allow CarrierIQ to work - if you'd like you can also follow the removing CarrierIQ instructions and remove the lib files and disable everything in android tuner to completly get rid of everything. Either way - no adverse reaction to removing it... in fact its better to have one less thing stalking and tracking everything you do with your phone.

I keep getting a message when I try to move the files that says it is a read only. How do I change this. I installed supersu after I rooted the phone for other apps but can't perform any removal of bloatware.

Try clicking on Mount R/W and it should ask for root permission.... Give permission and proceed... Also check to make sure you have SuperSU installed... If not installed then download from playstore, run, and reboot... Then try again

Thanks for putting up this how-to. I went ahead and followed the instructions to the "T", and then rebooted. I am a little confused as to why some apps still showed up in my app draw even though they were properly cut and moved to the new folder? I went ahead a tried clearing data for "home" to see if they would show when reloaded, however they still appeared. There were about 5-6 apps including twitter, ISIS, Lookout, and a few more than I forgot the names. I went ahead and manually removed them from the app draw, however I was wondering why they didn't disappear like the others did??
Thanks for your help!

Its probably because you had already updated these apps through the playstore... Just go to playstore and you should be able to uninstall them like any other app.

UPDATE 29/03: Added version for Lollipop 5.1 (tested on CM12.1/AOSP ROMs).
UPDATE: Fixed zip file.
I have compiled a modified Lollipop ContactsProvider to allow the Facebook app to sync contacts on CM12/AOSP based ROMs.
To install:
Download the attached recovery flashable zip and copy it to your phone.
Clear data for the Facebook app and Contacts Storage (Apps > All). VERY IMPORTANT.
Reboot into recovery and flash the zip file.
When you log back into the Facebook app you may see the option to enable contact sync, if not it will appear at the bottom of the App Settings screen.
If you find your contacts are not appearing after enabling in the FB app, do the following:
Open a command prompt
adb shell
su
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db 'ALTER TABLE raw_contacts ADD COLUMN is_restricted VARCHAR';
try the previous step a second time and if it was successful you will be told it already exists.
Reboot
This has been tested and works perfectly on a Galaxy S5 and HTC One M7 with both CM12 and AOSP based ROMs, but I would advise as always making a backup of things before flashing. I take no responsibility for any brickage that may occur.
Thanks, it's working (from the App Settings screen)!

It works on the oneplus you have to clear the fb app and contacts storage again while its crashing and once you wipe them it will stop I'm using it now on the cm12.1 nightly..

I'm not running 5.1.1 myself yet so if somebody wants to supply a ContactsProvider.apk from a deodexed 5.1.1 ROM I should be able to mod it.

Not really sure what you mean by deodexed. :/ But here's the the contactsprovider.apk from CM12.1 (5.1.1).
Anything for 5.1.1 yet?

I cracked it!
I managed to mod the contactsprovider.apk from cm12 (5.1.1). You'll have to copy it over to system/Contacts Provider and change permissions to 644. Then reboot.
You might also have to do that extra thing in the first post in this thread (making a new column), but you can do that in Terminal Emulator from the Play Store.

What I did was:
-Uncheck Google Contacts sync
-Remove Facebook account
-Clear Data for Contacts Storage
-Copy ContactsProvider.apk to system/priv-app/ContactsProvider
-Reboot
-Add table with Terminal Emulator (after clearing data again, if necessary due to errors on boot)
-Re-check Google Contacts sync
-Login to Facebook
-Go to app settings
-Scroll down to Sync Contacts
-Choose either Sync All or Existing
I usually just sync all.
