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

yup, this works fine on my S4
Thanks for the replies, I read it and downloaded the apk, but didn't see it in my app drawer. Could you clarify what needs to be done?

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.

Ah, when I had first clicked the link the xda app took me to a post in the middle of the thread with some framework mod and apk, which threw me off. Not sure how I missed everything else though. Guess it was a long day. Thanks for putting up with my brain fart haha

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.

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.

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....

Looks like only 4.1 support there...
The other link is a patch script - it extracts your existing email client, patches, re-packages and pushes it back to the device. Clever stuff and, so far, has worked across multiple Android versions without problem. Better than a static, patched .apk I reckons...
It works fine on 4.2, been using it for a while now.

"Obviously requires root access and working adb." - so, needs a computer. When I do this it takes around 60s to complete and then I can re-add the Exchange account, which is removed as part of the process.

just needed to reboot now it works.
Any newer versions? I just updated Xylon and now I can't get this to work anymore.

My company has put some block on our Exchange Server preventing emails to come down to "unothorized" devices. I tried a few third party apps and somehow they work but as expected the stock Samsung email won't. Is there some sort of mod or hack I can do to get the stock email to work? I'm kinda hooked on this airview gimmick. I can still get my email with Emoze or Touchdown but I really like the stock app. Any ideas?

I don't think this will happen for a few reasons. First, the source code is not available for modifications, this means that they would need to build a new app from scratch and try to integrate airview (another closed source application). Second reason is that falsely reporting behaviour of an apps is morally ambiguous and many people won't help with it.
I've seen an app that does essentially what you are looking for; Falsely reporting implemented security policies to an exchange server, this was done on a galaxy nexus (or maybe it was a nexus s) and someone had re-written key parts of the the app source code then compiled the APK.
Touchdown works because it's capable of fully implementing Exchange security policies that your native app may not be capable of providing. I would assume the same for emoze.
I would take a serious look at what you are doing, By going this route, you are violating your work policies and may be putting your job at risk.. is this risk worth having airview? I would recommend using touchdown or emoze and live without airview.
Yeah I guess you're right. This was not a problem for 6 years.. Now all of a sudden it is. Love corporate America

It could be a bunch of things, might be as simple as updating the exchange server and the new default policy is more secure.
sent from my i377m Google edition
Chances are they are blocking exchange activesync from the server for un authorized devices. This is a server side setting. It might work via pop but in my experience if u block a device in exchange from using EAS no app that uses that protocol will work.

Also on stock and mint jelly at least the stock app is capable of working with exchange 2007, 2010, and 2013. I have tried on all 3 personally. I manage exchange for our corporate environment.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
It wouldnt be called KNOX if you could easily break through the protection
If touchdown and other apps work then I doubt they are blocking per device. Have you asked what the policy is? Samsungs EAS has a lot of options and if they let in touchdown I see no reason to block GS4. I know when the GS3 came out there were some tecnical issues my company experienced that caused connectivity problems but they did not block one model of android.
Idk it's weird.. They said as of Saturday no more emails.. And it stopped. But Emoze works fine

Exchange security can block your device.
If you want to receive emails on your phone, your Exchange Admin will have to make an exception for your phone.

Most likely those use an internet-based connection like outlook web and outlook anywhere do. They can block that as well, but they are probably most concerned about pushed activesync connections. I bet the company still lets you check email over the internet, right?
Yes.. You can still log on to webmail. I think it's ActiveSync they put the Kabash on

No big deal I'll just use Emoze.. Works fine, has Push and has a decent UI. Probably a good idea to not get sucked into all these Samsung gimmicks anyway. The new Motorola sounds pretty bad ass and if HTC comes out with the 'two" next year and it has a removable battery, it's bye bye Sammy.

Droid Life is posting the new google apps that came from a nexus 5 which is, as you know, running android 4.4 . I can confirm the new google launcher works after installing google search and google play. Im pretty sure most others should work fine on the X. Post if working or if not!:good:

So I have installed all of the leaked apps. The only one that did not work is the clock. I've cleared the data on the app but it didn't make a difference. In in the Verizon Moto X. Only other problem is email app is missing the exchange option for me.
Anyone else try these? Any workaround for the clock?

You need to be rooted and uninstall the clock app and reinstall the leaked apk from what I've read. Android police had a write up on it.

Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
also update your language pack in the settings as well.

Dear friends...
One of the very few disadvantages of this fantastic device is that the stock email app doesnt support push for more than one hotmail account.
(or windowslive or live etc)
Appart from the main account, the others use manual fetch. (Only the time periods for fetch can be adjusted)
I've tested a number of apps and the only one that seems to be working properly with push and no problems is Touchdown HD.
The problem is that this app is a little expensive (after the 30 day trial)
Any other recommendations verified to be working?
Please keep in mind that for the time being I don't intend on rooting the device so all suggestions should be for the stock phone.
My device is the international version.
Thanks
