Hi,
I have been using the Megatron v1 ROM on my O1... The question I wish to ask is whether there is a difference in the default mail app of the original LG FW and Megatron ?
Because I was able to connect to my company's Exchange server and sync mail but I cant do so now after switching to Megatron ... (It could also be a policy change by my company and I cant reach out to the admins) ... So I dont want to unnecessaily go back to LG FW as the Megatron ROM is simply awesome ...
PS: I was unable to post directly in the Megatron thread as I am new to the forum and they wont let me post in the development section
I think there is something different between the way the stock mail app interacts w/ an exchange server and how Megatron interacts w/ exchange server. For me, I had no problem setting up my exchange account with the stock phone. When I installed Megatron, the exchange server required me to add a security password/pin to my phone. Not sure how Megatron triggered the exchange server to be more secure, but it does.
It also removes the Wifi Calling ability, too, unfortunately. These 2 things led me to go with JoeMomRom instead.

I live off of my phone for work and absolutely love the stock Sense 3.0 integration into MS Exchange server. I'm able to search for contacts in our GAL easily, search for email on the server, email a recently accessed email (history) not in my list...the list goes on. Its all of those things that outlook does so that you dont have to ever touch your contacts list.
NOW, that being said I'd like to get away from stock. I'm new to the scene of flashing and dont plan to do it often. I was however looking for a ROM that preserves the email functionality described above without a crappy third party email app (i hate touchdown). I'm also looking for some flash and over improvements without slowing my phone down.
Ideas, opinions? Warm 2.3 sounded interesting and looked good. I like the additional mods etc.
Pretty much any rom will be able to sync with exchange. The mail app on most roms is still the stock htc email application which allows you to search on the server and when sending an email will automatically search your GAL. Every rom I have tried has played nice with exchange. I'm in the same boat as you are, I live off exchange server for work (and manage it too).
The only issues i've come across are sometimes a specific build of a rom wouldn't sync properly over 3g with exchange through the phones email app. I could pull up OWA without issue, but it just wouldn't sync through the phone as normal. But, just flashed a different rom and it was back to normal. It seems that I'm flashing a new one about once a week anyways.
Any sense based rom "should" be a non issue with exchange, senseless (sense based with it removed) would be next best, AOSP being the most likely to have a bug or issue but try them anyways. Totally different feel in those roms.
Let me know if you have any questions and ill try to help as much as I can.

Thanks fr validating this. Always tough to jump in before knowing the details.
That being said do you have a top 3 favorites of sense roms?
Hi, there
New to this forum group, having just taken delivery of SGS2, with three.co.uk.
Prior to this I had an HTC HD2 with O2 UK, and made much use of the HD2 forum groups in modding that phone.
This forum group has been so active, I see a steep learning curve ahead. This is all to the good - it means folks are enthusiastic about this phone.
A major reason for me choosing the SGS2 was that Samsung Exchange client supports SMS sync with Exchange 2010 accounts.
This is vital for work, as I can send up to 1000 sms a month to clients and staff.
With SMS sync, I can keep a message history for past and current issues and projects.
My question is: should I stick to the standard Samsung ROM (it isn't "3" branded, as I got it through a reseller, and came unlocked) to keep SMS sync?
Or, can I give in to my inner geek and get modding?
There seem to be 2 main branches for mods - Samsung ROM based and "other" ROM based.
If I were to install a modded ROM would I preserve the functionality?
Or, could I reinstall the Samsung Exchange client if it wasn't present in a modded ROM?
Please excuse me if the answer is out there. I have done extensive reading and searching, but haven't found an answer yet.
If the answer to my question is "search some more, son, this has been answered already", please let me know politely.
I would suggest learning first which things do you need to be able to run SMS sync. If the only thing you need its Samsung Exchange Client, you can use any ROM you like and you can install Samsung Exchange Client app in there so you would be able to run SMS sync without problems.
If SMS sync requires certain kernel or more deeper system stuff, it would be harder to move to another ROM.
Hi, AzureusPT, and thanks for replying
I suspect it is just the Samsung Exchange client I need - it is the only one, other than WM6.1/6.5 that has the SMS sync feature enabled. Standard Android and other variants (HTC, etc.), Apple and Windows Phone 7/7.5 don't enable the necessary features.
I've tried Nitrodesk Touchdown (on a HTC Wildfire I set up for my Mom as a second phone) and it's implementation is spotty.
I guess you're right - I will have to bite the bullet and try out various options. It will be the only way to know for sure what is necessary. From your comment, I take it the Samsung email (Exchange) client is available as a separate download?
Also, I see you are using HyperDroid-Androidmeda - I was thinking of giving that a go as my first ROM rooting adventure. Is it a variant of the Samsung ROM?
I'd also be very interested about this.
Here's another (older) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012634
I have this tablet, however Iam not able to set up the email client to use my work email. I keep getting a message saying that my server requires settings that are not supported by this Android device.
can anybody tell me what is going on? I even went into the settings and encrypted the tablet because my work email requires to have the device encrypted but it did not work. However I also have the Galaxy phone but that works ok with my email. so my issues is only on the tablets.
Am I m missing something?
What email system does your company use?
Also this may need to move to Gen discussion.
This is not in the right forum.
If your exchange admin has enabled security features that Android does not have then you're out of luck unless you can get them to change them. Otherwise your web based exchange should work ok.
owa
Use your OWA address as the mail server.
Can you get mail on your phone? Then you should be able to get mail on your tab. If not, then your IS folks probably have owa sync disabled. We do for all phones except droid, apple, and bb.
I had the same problem with HC 3.1 and 3.2. You can try one of the ICS preview roms like Mabalitos ICS rom in this forum.
I finaly got it working with that after six months of struggeling.

My corporate exchange servers have some requirements that the stock email application won't support so I ended up using Moxier mail. Suggest checking it out, im not sure if they have a demoversion though. Retail version is pricey but worth it for me, ymmv.

Unfortunately I've just got one of the tech guys to put my work emails on my Galaxy S3. The emails run off a MS Exchange server and it requires me to have a PIN lock (or password) in order to unlock my phone, view files when connected to computer, or even use my phone's camera!
I'm on my phone all day for work and I refuse to type in a PIN code hundreds of times a day. My questions:
1) Is there a way to use MS Exchange emails on the Galaxy S3 without the PIN lock? I'm running CheckROM EvoHD 5.5 if that makes any difference.
2) What's the best app for MS Exchange? I'm currently using the stock Email app, but I don't mind paying a few dollars if there's a better app out there (this may also answer Q1?). I currently use gmail for my personal emails and I'm very happy with that app.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks
Hi everyone, I think I've found something which fixes this problem indefinitely.

Has anyone else tried this?
It's not so much the ROM you're using the but the firmware version you're running.
I'm currently using DDLJ1 4.1.1 via Omega ROM and through the Omega kitchen there is a flashable zip to bypass administrator security for emails.
Works sweet without annoying security permissions.

I'm using rom as in my signature.
gmail & hotmail accounts setup as pop3 have suddenly stopped working, I get error message like below .
messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device
make sure settings & connection correct & try again
Settings are all correct & we got same fault on more than one HD2 and same via wifi or 3G .
Assuming certificate issue or protocol change the WM6.5.5 inbuilt mail app can't handle .
Had a cert expired warning message for some time but could click accept to carry on ignoring cert issue !
What email situation others having on WM6.5.5 roms ?
Will look into certs & updating but any info from others would be good ...
Well after some research & testing it is ssl protocol change.
mail works fine on a no ssl test setup, after some searching & replies in other threads issue is crypt.dll in wm6.5 only supporting sha1 and now sha2 in use .
newer crypt sha2 is available but looks to need implementation during rom building rather than easily copying/patching it in a device running rom. :-/
Unable add crypt files to roms that protected, unprotected roms would probably work with simple copying of crypt files to running rom but as most are protected (inc NRG) then it will not work.
Also unable dump from protected nbh so will need start from scratch.
If NRG had supplied a kitchen sometime after he retired from WM development it would of been a 15minute job to add the newer crypt package ...
2 easy email solutions is third party apps, profimail & nPOPuk, both work but built in outlook was/is a neat mail client.
amazingly the nPOPuk open ssl works as had better protocol standard .
apps added below if needed (all freeware). npop not nicest to use but is light & runs sd card with no installer .
Other solution is using rebuilt roms with crypt.dll already fixed. Poyensa has done this & some can be found in WM6.5 Rom area .
Try Re-routing Emails Through Local Email Service
Firstly, thank you for continuing to provide support for the magnificent HD2 - I'm on my 5th and will continue until it proves impossible - I'm currently using the Australian Telstra model T9193 but have also had a U.S. T-Mobile model and the original T8585 model.
Secondly, I had the same problem with emails for the last 12-24 months as GMail, Microsoft, Yahoo and others progressively increased their POP3 email security to TLS exclusively, however there are still many email services that continue to use SSL only, for example, iiNet and Telstra, both in Australia. All I do is make use of the free option provided by all the major email services, to forward all my emails onto another email service, from where they can come directly to my HD2 and via which I can still send out emails. For example, I configured my POP3 Microsoft Outlook email account (and others) to forward all arriving emails onto my POP3 iiNet email account, which in turn forwards all emails that arrive there onto my HD2 WM6.5 Pocket Email manager App. It all works seamlessly, just as it always did when all the services arrived separately.
The only confusion that may arise is if your correspondents realise that you give one email address which they can use to contact you but all your responses come from another email address. Frankly, no one I communicate with is savvy enough to even notice.
Cheers, and thanks again.
^ That is a good point .
I do the same for my mums phone as she has a tiscali email with ability use old ssl or none.
Problem is I have no services offering suitable email or see any available. another option could be via web hosting if you got one and have some email setting control .
Is a pain, shame the dll not easily overwritten in device rom as easy tidy fix for everyone .
Thank you for researching this. I had to pull my Tilt2 out of retirement when my M8 tanked on a WM10 build. Was able to revive it, but now that I've got the Tilt out, I plan to at least catch it up on things...

Dude, this crypt dll is a part of XIP - that means - no way to copy anything to ready rom. Besides - yesterday I just for fun cooked 29366 rom for Leo TMOUS - even with new crypt dll in xip outlook sync does not work. So - just forget it. Gmail seems to work.
