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.
First off I take no credit for this at all. All credit goes to Rsotbiemrptson who is a Jedi master for creating this after many have tried and failed.
What you have here is a flashable crack to the HTC Mail.apk that will bypass any and all security administrators that may be otherwise forced onto your device when syncing to an exchange server.
To install:
1. You must remove all mail accounts that you have set up in the Mail app.
2. If you have any existing security administrators present from a previous exchange sync deactivate them.
3. Set your lock time out to none under security settings.
4. Reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Flash the attached file.
As with all mods or changes to ROMS do a complete backup in recovery.
If you find this useful please send all thanks to Rsotbiemrptson for cracking this bad boy.

This is for people who want to use their Exchange account on their Tbolt, but DON'T want to give their Exchange admin the ability to enforce security policies on their phone (like having to enter a PIN every time you unlock the screen). Sounds like your Exchange admin doesn't implement any of those policies, so you don't need this.
Is this something that was implemented in newer versions of Exchange? I think my company uses 2007 still. Might be why I haven't seen this.
i managed to get my gmail, hotmail an windjammercable mail setup though exchange on my thunderbolt, but i kept getting sync errors where it would try to sync all three emails like every 5 seconds when the phone was operating in peak time. My battery went from like 100 to like 75 in less than 20 minutes So i had to just delete all the email setting i changed an go back to what i had before.
Now, if install your mail akp will this stop the sync errors?

It's been around since at least the 2003 version but it's all optional settings, your admin may just not have them enabled. Mine doesn't.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me
This absolutely works on all DAS BAMF roms but should work on any ROM including stock. You only need this if you have exchange policies pushed to your phone by your company. If you don't know what this is you prob don't need it.
I do not know if it will fix the afore mentioned sync errors but I would doubt it.
Here's a new question. When I had CM7 on my Incredible, Exchange wanted to setup device admin rights. Now on my Tbolt with Sense I don't get asked. Any idea why?

I have installed this on DAS BAMF remix v1.4 and it does work so far. I was able to remove the PIN lock and use a pattern lock, which was not permitted before. Also, I didn't get the exchange security policy notice when I added my exchange account. Syncing appears to be working properly as well so far.
The mod is quite honestly ridiculous. Whats the point of trying to have security setup and protect possible sensitive information, when you don't want an Admin to enforce security rights.
This 100% defeats the purpose that was set in place by Exchange for good reason's. I sure hope everyone understands the SERIOUS consequences of what could happen by flashing this and possibly leak sensitive data into the wrong hands.
^^ it's a very good point. One of the problems with AS and lock screens is that with the default client and iPhones you have to pin to unlock even the phone. Nothing to do with email, just the darn phone. So everyone hates it. I use Touchdown which only requires a pin if you go to check email. But it's $20. Anyway, be careful with hacks that bypass security in a workplace. It could be cause for termination.
I love my phone, I've loved ALL my devices... Yes, I use it for work with MS Exchange email (MS Consultant), and yes the pin/password policies are annoying.
But I'm not about to risk my job over some "hassle" of 3 seconds to enter a pin. Aren't our email Administrators able to see we bypassed this or no?

To be honest, if someone wanted my data or emails a stupid 4 digit pin is not going to stop them. There are many ways in getting a persons email off of there phone without even unlocking it. This seems like it is for those small companies who's admins are security freaks and its really not needed. Granted, I am sure apple would not be happy if an employee used this app or an android phone lol

It is important to keep sensitive data secure. I think a properly set up pattern lock is as good as a 4 digit PIN. I use lookout to be able to remotely wipe if needed.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Hats off to the dev.
Do I have to remove gmail accounts too, or just the active sync exchange accounts?

Let them get in hacking your password/pin, you won't be held responsible. However if you have the phone pin/password disabled and they realize this you will be terminated. They will be able to see that you are bypassing security measures, and you could have lawsuit on your hands as well.
Please dont think that I am bashing the dev, I'm simply trying to let people know that they very well could and most likely lose their job and have possible legal action taken against them for using this. Cellphones are such a volatile thing anyhow, but giving them an easier way in is not a good idea, especially not while breaking company policy.

I tried to set up an account to my Exchange email at work using the default email app on my TF101. When I set up an account it requires that I enable all of these security settings on the tab like having a PIN and encrypting data. I don't want to do all of that. I realize that this is something set up by my Exchange administrator but I am not sure they even did it knowingly and anyway I don't want to have to deal with it to check email.
Does anyone know how to bypass this? Searches of these forums and the web show that there are some modded email apks for other platforms that let you bypass the security settings. I have not seen any such mods for ICS on the TF101.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello,
I do not believe the stock email is able to handle the security settings from an exchange server. You need to look at other programs like Moxier Mail or TouchDown.
+1 for touch down. Works great but it is $20
Enhanced email is another option. I got it from free app of the day by Amazon. At first, it did not work on android 3.0+, but it works fine now. It gives you the option to ignore security policies.
Alternatively, if you decompile the email.apk, I believe you can force a variable so that the email app always tells the exchange server you have sufficient security enabled (I'm not exactly sure where must be changed).

I couldn't agree more. Do the trial first to see if you like it. I don't recommend bypassing the security. You can unknowingly pass a virus through your corporate exchange. Hopefully, one day, they will resolve this issue in the Android exchange client.

+1... Touchdown. Forget any other Exchange apps.
+1 for Enhanced Email - optionally bypasses the admin security settings - works fine on Honeycomb and ICS too.
Exchange Admin
Hello,
When setting up exchange servers in the past, the default exchange policy is to have those features enabled. Even if those are DISABLED, the tablet will still ask to create the partnership. I believe this is so it can be wiped remotely. It seems ICS just tells you it is going to do all of those things as a generic warning. I have noticed this is only on ICS though. If you click ok, it shouldn't ask you to create a PIN or anything if it isn't actually required. We currently only have exchange 2010 in production in a test environment, so I have yet to look for the setting to disable this feature entirely. Hope this helps you understand how it works at least a little.

Did you try new Google KitKat email app? Make sure that you install both Email and Exchange 2 email apk.

the easy answer is to use enhanced email, can be found in Google Play. I am using that myself

Best most money on an app spent!.... NOT...DOESN'T WORK IN MY CASE...
And you know 15 minutes are not enough to even try it due to the options and testing and hoping. Bought it long ago. In my case it didn't work...
Company has its own app. And another 2 apps checking if the app is admin etc.
Only thing that could be done is either to input the pass automatically when I unlock the phone. Maybe something via xposed. And add a second screen unlock option.
Somewhat like the iPhone jailbreak has it...loved the security bypass plus android pattern unlock....

It depends obviously then on how the exchange server is configured. In my case e-email bypasses the security demands from the exchange server completely. When I had my HTC sensation, I used a mod you can find in the HTC sensation development, search for exchange - there is also something about using it with other phones.
see this post for files/kudos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47063058&postcount=406
however, you don't need to push via ADB or anything:
1) uninstall your current email and exchange apks (via titanium backup or something similar)
2) either wipe dalvik cache or delete the associated email and exchange odex files in /data/dalvik-cache
3) install the 2 APKs (i usually install exchange first, then email)
4) setup your email
been working perfectly for me for the past week.
EDIT: this is the new 4.4 email/exchange, btw, with the gmail-style interface. it's fantastic.
I would really like to find a way to dodge the lockscreen and other policies that are enforced by Exchange. I don't want to use the KK email.

If you are just trying to get past the pin/password requirement this app stores it so you don't have to enter it when unlocking your phone. Not sure if it works for PIN security but it works for PASSWORD security.
Follow these steps:
1. Open app and click on Credentials store password (enter your lockscreen password)
2. Click Try to unlock
3. Check Auto Unlock
4. Click VPN w/o password for >=4.0
5. On the next screen click on # 3. Press Here (to remove phone lock)
That should do it and remove the lockscreen password that exchange forces you to use.

Have you tried simply increasing the lock timer to, say, 30 min?
I find I don't often have to enter the PIN with it set high like this.

real quick- you do realize that the kitkat email that i posted is in fact modded to dodge those policies, yes? that was why i posted it. install them, set up your account - it will still tell you "your account needs some extra settings" blah, but it won't actually enforce them.
if you're talking about wanting to use the LG email app, well, i don't believe anyone has made a mod for that. i find the new kitkat email app superior anyways, so if you're willing to try it, that is a solution.

You technically shouldn't need to in order to set it up, but it's not a bad idea to make a nandroid. And it'll make the dalvik wipe/odex removal easier. That part may not even be necessary, but I had some issues the first time installing it where Exchange Services started force closing repeatedly.
If anyone is interested, the Exchange service on the G4 (at least the T-Mobile version) can be disabled via the apps menu and Google Exchange services can be installed.
This will allow you to use the GMail app with Exchange enabled hosts, like Hotmail/Outlook.com and retain push mail, contact and calendar sync.
Recommended steps:
If you have any accounts using email and exchange, remove them first.
Open Settings/General/Apps/All
Tap on Exchange (The LG one with the blue icon)
Force stop
Disable the Exchange Service
(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point)
Install Google Exchange Services
(Restarting your phone is recommended at this point as well)
Open GMail and you will have Exchange as an option when you add an account.
This is gold to me.
Thanks.
sweet thx!
edit: oops that didn't work for me it gets stuck constantly sync'ing and has some exchange service crashes hmm...
Works fine here so far. I just wish you could disable the remote administration requiring your device to use a PIN. I'd love to use Smart Lock.

It's important that you remove any old exchange accounts in email first, then force close the LG exchange service and disable it. If you don't disable it, then GMail will get stuck syncing.

This. I have used Smart Lock on my N5 with no problems even though we are required to have a PIN. Fired up the G4 and immediately noticed once I setup email Smart Lock was grey and can't be used. I thought that by switching to Gmail for my Exchange email I could get around that only to find Gmail doesn't have Exchange support on this phone (until I found this thread).
Has anyone that has followed the instructions at the top been able to get Smart Lock working when Gmail is used for Exchange email? Or does Touchdown get around this?
I am going to test this out tonight - can't goof around too much while on the job!!

Outlook bypasses the security requirement, but it appears to only sync email, not calendars or contacts. You get prompted that Exchange wants you to accept these changes, but you have an option to deny them.

I'll have to look at that new outlook app closer then. It prompted me for the security permissions to wipe phone, pin, and all that crap so I exited out.
Touchdown is supposed to be all one contained environment so I don't think it syncs with the default apps. I could be wrong as I have never tried it since I always got a PIN bypasser working on my old phones. It is free for a month so try it out! I don't care about contacts and it would be nice to have calendar but I'm not heartbroken over it. What I would like to know is if you still get a notification of new mail. I would assume so but aren't allowed to preview it which is fine but I at least need to know I have mail.

Yeah that request seems to be standard whenever you setup Outlook, regardless of app. It was when it came to the lock screen settings, it allowed me to dismiss it.
I just tried the Outlook app and it required far less permissions then adding an exchange email through the android/lg settings. The regular settings wanted pretty much everything. Wipe, disable camera, password type, password length, password expiration, encrypt phone, disable sd card, etc etc. It had everything and probably because my company just checked everything. Now the question is if it would really do any of those things probably not because that it a further settings in Exchange but it just wants to be able to do all that.
The Outlook just wanted password rules, unlock attempts, lock screen, and encrypt phone. It asked to encrypt and I said no and phone still works. I was able to keep pattern lock screen but it disabled everything else besides pin and password. The Outlook app does not integrate well with Android so everything is contained in it's own app. I don't think it does notifications either since I sent an email and waited a good 10 minutes. My phone never went off but I open the app the email shows up but never as a notification.
So maybe the Outlook app will get you by for the time being.
Hrm - I'm on an LG G4 (EU H815 model, unlocked). No Google Exchange Services visible or available in the Play Store ...
I also have an old Galaxy S3 running 5.1.1 (PacMan rom) - that has Gmail with Exchange working just fine. It has the same version of Gmail as on the G4, but also has "Exchange Services" running. I can't find any other information on that though.
[EDIT] I just checked the link in the OP which looks like the latest apk, but the button for Play Store doesn't work - URL doesn't exist.
Quick question - I haven't disabled LG Exchange on the G4 yet - when I do it says that the app will be hidden from then on. What if one wants to re-enable it - will it still be visible on the Apps menu ?
TIA

I also have an old Galaxy S3 running 5.1.1 (PacMan rom) - that has Gmail with Exchange working just fine. It has the same version of Gmail as on the G4, but also has "Exchange Services" running. I can't find any other information on that though.
[EDIT] I just checked the link in the OP which looks like the latest apk, but the button for Play Store doesn't work - URL doesn't exist.
Quick question - I haven't disabled LG Exchange on the G4 yet - when I do it says that the app will be hidden from then on. What if one wants to re-enable it - will it still be visible on the Apps menu ?
TIA

Yes, just go to your apps in settings and it will be under 'disabled'.
Just switched things over, and Gmail Exchange is working nicely now

This. I have used Smart Lock on my N5 with no problems even though we are required to have a PIN. Fired up the G4 and immediately noticed once I setup email Smart Lock was grey and can't be used. I thought that by switching to Gmail for my Exchange email I could get around that only to find Gmail doesn't have Exchange support on this phone (until I found this thread).
Has anyone that has followed the instructions at the top been able to get Smart Lock working when Gmail is used for Exchange email? Or does Touchdown get around this?
I am going to test this out tonight - can't goof around too much while on the job!!

Have you been able to figure this out? I have coworkers on a N6, N5, and a HTC One (M7), who all have our Corporate E-mail linked to their phone via either gmail or the htc e-mail app. They can all access their respective Smart Lock settings. On my phone, its grayed out.
Confused on what this does? Just lets you add a second exchange account to gmail? Are emails mixed together or do they remain separated? I like having my Email and Gmail in 2 different apps. I also like the LG email app.
