Hey,
Have been using VR12 on my Hero for some time now and tried out Froyd the other day.
One thing is keeping away from 2.2 though, the damn password for my exchange account. Easy to get around it with LockPicker on 2.1 Sense roms but cannot find any method for doing this on a Froyo rom.
Anybody out there who know if there is a way around it so you don't have to punch in a password each time you open the phone ?
Regards
Soeren
Got the same "problem", I think LockPicker doesn't support 2.2 yet. I guess it will, but it's up to the developer...
Yep, correct. Check in the app thread - first line says
"NOTE: Froyo is not supported (yet)!"
although, check this: Removing Keyguard Password Policy due to Exchange (HTC Sense & Milestone & Froyo)
Thanks, Removing Keyguard ...... worked
However, tried a version of Moxier 2.5 floating around the internet which didn't need any password either

i have just set up an exchange email on my hero, however my company policy requires pin setup compulsory on my set.
I used to have lockpicker on my 2.1 but seems like that doesnt work on vanilla, is there another software that you guys can recommend?
TIA!!!
All Androids that our company supports install Touchdown.
It is a paid app but once we started using it we have no more issues with PIN issues.
Sync's everything including tasks which the stock app does not do.
Thank you.

Does anyone know if lockpicker will be updated to support 2.2 or if another app is out that has the same features? I tried emailing the dev for lockpicker but he has gotten back to me about supporting 2.2. HTC droid incredible on froyo w/sense.
figured no point in starting new thread to ask the same question (i dont want to use touchdown)
Thanks
NM found this post xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7182615&postcount=88
I guess lockpicker or other same type of app won't be available for a little while
Check the thread in my signature. I have written an app which strips out the relevant parts of code in the stock email apk and the sense mail apk on froyo.
Does anyone know how to make an ASOP Rom support Exchange 2007 security requirements? Whenever I try to add the account I get a message which says something to the effect of "Exchange requires features you phone does not support". Exchange wants you to have to enter a passcode every time you unlock the phone.
Stock eris and stock-based roms support it and so does the motorola droid.
Is this something where I can possibly just copy over a system apk to make it work or is it deeper in the code? I changed the email apk to the one from the droid but that didn't do anything. Has anyone ever ported a version of the motorola droid to the eris? Am I way off on the approach?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
You'll have to be more specific. I have not yet had problems getting my exchange account to work properly on any ROMs, including the Kaos 2.2 v24.

You have to enable security on them. When I used 2. 1 romsI used lockpicker from the market. It will disable the need from having to type in password every tIME you lock phone but still make the server think its enabled. FYI kaosfroyo works too and no need to enter password. Only draw back is you have to reenable everytime you power down phone.

That's weird. Our company must have different security requirements if you are getting it to work on the Froyo ROM because I've tried every kind of lockscreen setting I could find. I found this thread which basically says Exchange is only partially supported by Froyo. I know we require password history and expiration which must be the culprit. code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9426.
So HTC and Motorola must have added something which adds that expiration and history feature. Since it's security related I'm guessing it's more than just an apk. Can the .so files be moved across ROMs? Anyone have a guess at which one may contain this feature?

Exchange 2007 sync is working for me on KaosFroyo V24 as well. My company also enforces password history and expiration, but no issues here. By the way, no lockscreen security is set on my Eris.
Did the sync work for you on 2.1? If not, your Exchange admins may have to enable it on your account. Sounds like it could be something setup by your employer. It doesn't hurt to ping an admin and see what they say...

The sync was working on HTC 2.1, but not on any 2.1 ASOP ones.
But, after talking to support they switched my policy group and, of course, now it works so my apologies for being an idiot and putting this in a development forum. I honestly thought the ASOP roms just didn't have that functionality and was hoping there was a way to flash something that would make it work.
Have a question though. I added my work email to my account and the only way it would work was to add a pin when unlocking my screen. Is there any way to disable this besides removing my work email account?
Thanks.
My wife uses an app called Lockpicker to disable it on her Hero, which works pretty well. I think it might only work on Sense devices, but you can give it a try.

No go on 2.2
When my friend got froyo on his phone he looked into it and it requires rooting and somethingsomething (so I wasn't paying attn... ) but it's possible!

This is not a glitch, it's a the phone complying with the AD email server's security requirements. If you have a problem with this, the appropriate place to ask is your IT dept, not XDA. They were the ones that set the requirement for a lock.

i have the same problem on Desire HD. are you able to solve it?
Hmm,did u try a different Android build other than Rafdroid?.Have you also tried changing your location settings?
Solution is simple: download an other twitter app. Peep has never worked for me on my Desire, I think it is because it uses an old login procedure. Twitter client can't ask you for your password anymore, but they have to use OAuth. This app doesn't and doesn;t get updatet, so it won't work.
It's a problem of time adjustment, use network provided values from date and time setting or edit your time zone correctly.
in gingerbread, I used to have pattern lock support for exchange server. but with ics upgrade it asks me to use a pin or password which is quite annoying.
is there any way for me to enable pattern lock for exchange? im in stock LPY.

I'm hoping that whoever released the "tweaked" mail.apk and exchange.apk that removes the need to Exchange security will release an updated version very shortly.
Once I have found it, or if you find it, post the link here!
That would be great. I'm also trying to figure out ways around this but have not found any option other than a tweaked apk. For the record Touchdown and Roadsync behave the same way. On GB roms I could use the pattern unlock with no problem, but now all exchange clients behave the same as the stock email app. I think they are getting their cue from ICS directly and maybe a newer version will fix the issue.
