Would like to know this too. In the meantime search for an xposed mod. Notification mod. This one allows you to use the notification pulldown.
Helps a lot.

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

I think the OP like me wants to bypass the security set by the rules, not the app itself.

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....

Can someone try this? Saw it in company forums. But might be completely unrelated https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.chunky.AutoKeystore&hl=en
I use touchdown so the policy is applied to the app and not the device.

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.
I use an app called Keystore Unlocker from the play store...must be rooted. You can skip the step adding a VPN and it will still work.

Can you explain the process? I've got the app and have it set up but I'm not entirely sure that I understand what it's doing...
The policies are still in place.

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.

I still want it to lock. I just want to use the pattern instead of the pin and that's not possible with the Exchange policy.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Did you remove the exchange acount and reset the mail permissions before installing the apk?
adrynalyne: can you put the apk back up or send it to me, I would like to try it on a fresh install before an exchange account is created on the device.
I can confirm it just force closes as well.
Thank you and I appreciate it. Just so you know, when I go to set it up, it says Security Policies required, (Your Exchange server requires that you enable security policies to continue synchronizing, would you like to continue? Once I click on OK, The 4 policies it's trying to implement are:
1. Erase all Data
2. Set password rules
3. Monitor screen-unlock attempts
4. Lock the Screen
I hit Activate and it asks me to create my PIN which I do, then click OK and then I get my failure notice, lol.
Exchange Policy Error
Unable to sing in to your Exchange account because your policy settings are incompatible with those on the server. Please contact you IT team for assistance. I click on Detail and get: Security policy required:

This is a horrible feature if true, if your phone is stolen the thief can reset it and have a brand new phone like he got it out of the shop
Well by reporting it stolen it would be known to carriers as a stolen phone and the IMEI would be registered
This has already been discussed in depth including the option to disable it. When the security of the data on the device is more important than the device itself, the feature is a wanted/required one. Most people would rather the phone not self destruct though.

You only really get it if you're using Exchange as email. I never had this "8 tries left before resetting phone" until I added my work email. If you have your work email and this is happening to you it's probably because your work requires that level of security. If you want to avoid it, just don't add your work email. There are ways to bypass it if you root, however some times (depending on admins) your job's IT dept can tell and you may have issues keeping said job.

Yeah I'd bet you anything that's what it is. My previous job used exchange as well but they did not have security enabled. As soon as I moved into my new job I had to set up a pin. It's a choice your employer's IT dept does whether by regulation or just more security-aware.

Exchange security can manipulate the settings but it appears to be enabled by default in Verizon's variant.
So I am required to have work email, but along with that they enforce encryption on the device.
H918 rooted with TWRP installed and when setting up email it wants me to plug in my phone so it applies encryption.
Guess I might have to go back to stock for this?
