Exchange ActiveSync problem

Anyone having hardtime setting up exchange activesync on A500? I can't seem to find an option to set it up.all it has is POP3 and IMAP

That is because it doesn't have it. Touchdown or K9 work. Touchdown for tablets is especially nice.

Is it possible to get the .apk from Xoom or ASUS transformer(not sure if exchange is available).
I want it bad as well both touchdown and K9 doesn't work for me but I could easily connect from my desire HD.

Actually now that we have root that may work. I will test it. I have zero fear of bricking anything as I have a hookup on getting it swapped if needed.

it is dumb that it doesnt. The honeycomb port for nook color had it. HTML email and all. Acer must have stripped it out or not included. Come to think of it I am going to see if I can find it in there! would swapping out the mail.apk work, my guess is not till we have a deoxed rom, correct....bummer

And working.

Download, extract, use root explorer to rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old, place in /system/app, set permissions to rw-r-r, reboot, enjoy.
I would have made a flashable .zip, but we don't have cwm yet, lol.

awsome..cheers mate

I did notice no folder level sync, just inbox. Bollocks. Also, change your signature. It says Asus eee pad transformer.

May be Xoom can sync folders.why would Acer do something stupid like this,scare off the enterprise customers?

Hmm, link works for me. Tested on three devices. I can reupload, but it will be later.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

I must be missing a step. I have renamed the Email.apk and Email.odex in system/app to Email2.apk and Email2.odex.
Then copied the 2 extracted files to system/app .
But no go, I don't have an exchange option when setting up email accounts....
I've probably missed something that is totally obvious, maybe someone could point out to me what it is...
Thanks

You probably forgot to set permissions.
This worked wonderfully, thanks!

I did set the permissions... so I don't know what I've done wrong.
Do you now have a setting when manually configuring an email account to setup as exchange, or should I be looking elsewhere for it?
Edit: got it sorted out, it wasn't enough to just rename the original files, I had to take them out of the system\app folder all together. Now it's working as it should. Thanks

Great works like a charm....

Brilliant saves me having to pay for the full version of touchdown!

Does this sync contacts as well?

Syncing google calendar?

I have been able to get every google app to sync with the KF except the calendar. Has anyone had any luck? I have it working on my NT:S
I guess i should clarify...I am rooted
Sent from my Nook Tablet using Tapatalk

I had my gootle calendar sync'd along with my exchange yesterday. Only problem, I have no idea how I did it. Also, it really messed up my Gmail though. I was getting really old gmails showing up as new messages.
I ended up wiping and starting over. Now my gmail is working fine, but I cant see my google calendar!
It looks like there is hope, it's just going to take someone much smarter than me to figure it out.

I actually found a great guide on getting this up and running. Syncing with business calendar perfectly now.

You installed the calendar after you moved the files, not before? You need to install after moving it. Let me know one way or another if you have been able to fix it.

Finally fixed it!
First I updated the "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk" from sl0ttedpig (30th November 2011, 07:35 AM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369781&highlight=calendar+sync
then I copied to /system/app the "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" from this post:

Now I FINALLY have the checkbox under Sync Settings, and after checking it, the Google Calendar syncs!

[Q] Facebook Contacts??

Is it just me or are facebook contacts not working? As in they won't sync with the people app on my phone. It did not work for me in a stock rom or the euroskank rom and i was just wondering how to fix it if there is a possible way. Like is this a nexus thing or something, idk any input would be appreciated!:cyclops:

Does not work for me either with my N4 or N7. Easy way around this is to use haxsync.

From your homepage on your Nexus. Go to settings> accounts > facebook > contacts sync. I think that should work

or use HaxSync.

Facebook does not use the proper way Google wants for contact syncs, so that's why it doesn't work on pure Android OS.
Google it.

HaxSync works perfectly for me on my N4. Perhaps there is something wrong with your set up that is preventing HaxSync from working for you?

The fix is for Facebook to fix their Contact sync. Or use 3rd party programs.
Facebook thinks you don't own your contacts. If someone removes you as a friend Facebook things that contact info should dissappear from your phone. That's not right and that's not what Google allows.

I did and it didnt work but i had a euro skank rom so maybe thats why it wasnt working. so i decided to go back to stock and i accidentally formatted the sd card and bricked my phone. scariest moment of my life haha, thank god for wug's nexus root toolkit. Now im back to stock, unrooted and locked. i'm gunna attempt haxsync tomorrow since i am done ****ing with my phone after bricking it!

That's the way I did it, and it worked for me... Stock rooted 4.2.1
The profile pictures sucked, though... I had haxsync, but found that Contact Sync for Facebook does a far better job getting statuses, bdays, and most important, those nice looking, hi res profile pics

What is this file being created?

Hey guys been looking for an answer but only found a thread on evo 3d forums that doesn't have much activity, anyways I keep getting this file created every hour or so and its really starting to scare me maybe spyware or something.

I would download Avast from Google Play and scan sdcard and apps. Not sure what it is. Looks like spam-ware.

I found that in my phone the other day too. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't really do anything.

Could be a log file. I'm not sure what it is. I would scan again once it appears. Not sure if it is I needed file or not. I don't have a nex 4 but was looking into getting one that's why I'm at the forum.
You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.

TW Exchange Email Pin Bypass?

On the Gnex, there was a flashable zip to replace the stock email with one that didn't require you to put a lockscreen pin if you synced an exchange. I like the TW email app, but is there any such equivalent or a workaround (rooted or otherwise) to be able to sync my exchange email and not have to have a pin on my lockscreen?

have you tried

Is it the same email app though? I like the tw email app and would like to keep it. That thread is for the sII and pretty old, so I'm guessing the apk there is an older one than the one that came with the S4.

In some of the custom tw based roms they've got hacked email clients. Could download one of those and pull out the apks. Think it's really the exchange apk you need rather than the client itself (not 100%) sure.

Yup, exactly the same email app, it just patches whatever email app you have on your Rom, it doesn't change it. The only thing is that the patch doesn't recognise the version on the s4, but instead it lets you type in manually, so you just add SecEmail_J.apk, or something like that (the exact file name is in the thread) and it works.....

They both need to be modded, but the above patch makes the necessary changes to both the email apk and exchange apk.

in addition to sydknee's port:
there is no apk / app in the Thread i mentioned.
It's a computer programm that copies your phone's email app, modifies it and then overwrites the one on your phone.
