I patched the classes.dex and no more passcode after the lockscreen.
Since Mail.apk is a system app you can't just replace the apk... so you'll need to do it in recovery.
Instructions:
1. First you need to remove all exchange accounts (in SETTINGS -> ACCOUNTS & SYNC) and then remove the PIN in SETTINGS - SECURITY.
2. Then boot into recovery and install the Mail.apk - patched.zip file (attached).
3. Reboot and add your exchange account normally... it will still ask you to activate the security settings but no password will be required.
Enjoy not having to type a password to unlock your EVO 3D!!!

Still requires the password.

Definitely still requires the password... Anyway to get this working? The whole password thing sucks

Really sorry guys, I had the old classes.dex file for some reason. This is fixed now! I reuploaded the file in the OP.
You'll still need to remove the exchange account and remove the lock before you install the zip from recovery.

Confirmed working now, 100% Thank you so very much, I can't tell how much the password thing pissed me off!
I just followed the instructions, downloaded the file to my phone, moved it to my root of my sd card, renamed it from -1.zip to exchange.zip flashed it, rebooted and tried to add it, and no go still have to add a pin. I looked in the zip file and I don't see a classes.dex file at all. Not sure what is up, but I am on stock ROM, have S-OFF, and Recovery, no issues flashing it through recovery but still required to put in a PIN. I'd LOVE to have this working. I will be going to a new ROM soon, I just haven't decided which one I want.
All I can say is keep trying, I have it working for.me right now, but I flash alot of roms, so I feel sometimes it works and other times it doesnt....try not clearing cache or dalvik, installing then rebooting. It will still tell you it needs a pass but when you press activate it will bring you right back to finish your email set up....
SHOTS FIRED!!! From 3 Dimensions!
I suspect it is because I am still on stock ROM, and it is Odexed. Don't know a lot about it, but that is my suspicion. I'll probably flash a ROM this weekend and then try it again.
do you know if this will help to fix the stock mail.apk if it is having issues?
i have tried flashing different roms and still get a exchange activesync mail application which doesn't want to sync correctly.
bump........
mail.apx compatibility
Will this patch also work on v2.3.4?

Hello I've a LG Optimus One,and when i Flash IcsLunarPro 2.7 i open the calendar and when im going to make a event he Said me"No calendar's Found" i don understand why(???????).well now ,i tried other calendar apk files but,and even they working-.-
Im going crazy because i cant get back my Official Calendar Google App 2.3.7 becau the Rom is going Updated,and now he working tih new baseband and i won't flash new baseband.Any Way to get back the original APK of Google Calendar 2.3.7?
:'( or somewhere ti find it .
i steal the apk from the Updated Rom IcsLunarPro(flashing,copy-pastin in the sdcard,Restoremy Rom 2.7)and i installed this and when i open the app...Forceclose :'(
You should configure an account (Google/Exchange) to synchronize a calendar with. Next time make a search before posting.
i know i know i had that idea after deleting that Official Apk :''( now what can i do? i don't want Flash other Rom,this one are the smoothest i've seen *.*
what can i do?:'(
Extract Calendar.apk from the ROM zip, paste it in /system/app and change the permisson to 644. Or reflash the ROM.
from terminal when i try to push the apk's he say me "the filesystem is readonly"
no one have a zip with the calendars working to flash it?:'(
solved wirh found my same version Rom,can Close Thread.
I don't take any credit for finding this fix, but I wanted to make it more accessible for E4GLTE owners.
Want to be able to access your Exchange email account without the security permissions required by your work/school? I know I do - so here's how:
First, backup your ROM (this is a fairly safe modification, but better safe than sorry).
Next, remove your Exchange ActiveSync account if you already have it on the phone (I've had good luck skipping this step). Then follow these steps (or just use one of the recovery flashable zips):
Download the attached Mail.apk to your phone.
Using a root access file explorer (Root Explorer is my favorite) go to \system\app
Mount as R/W, and delete or rename Mail.apk and mail.odex (I renamed them to Mail.apk.bak and mail.odex.bak).
Copy the downloaded Mail.apk into \system\app
Set permissions to match the original Mail.apk
Reboot (Recommended: reboot to recovery and clear Cache/Dalvik cache)
Now re-add your Exchange account, and you should be set!
Note that this makes your sensitive email more vulnerable to bad people if your phone is stolen (and your security admin will not be happy with you if they find out) - this is on your head, not mine!
Huge thanks to rathore4u for making the original modified app available for a large number of phones (ICS both Sense and AOSP). Original thread is here - be sure to thank him for his wisdom!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Edit 2/15/2013* - Rebuilt from the newest OTA build (3.16) (works now - thanks mikeyxda!)
*Edit 2/13/2013* - Added revert-to-stock zip for 3.16.
*Edit 12/27/2012* - Rebuilt the modded apk from stock Evo LTE JB (no longer using shnizlon's)... hopefully this will fix any problems people were having? Also added a revert-to-stock JB zip.
*Edit 12/18/2012* - Added a flashable zip for Jelly Bean/Sense 4+. Credit goes to tbonnano231 and shnizlon - go send them some Thanks!
*Edit 9/4/2012* - Fixed my flashable zips to work better (correct permissions and automagically clears cache/dalvik cache).
*Edit 8/31/2012* - Used Rathore4u's guide to modify the Sense 4.1 Mail.apk (from the 2.13.651.1 base).
*Edit 6/29/2012* - Using rathore4u's how-to guide and the Mail.apk from mikeyxda's MeanROM, I created a Mail.apk with Sync While Roaming and HTML message format available. I've attached this as an apk and a flashable zip (make sure to rename the apk to Mail.apk if you go the manual method). Be sure to thank both rathore4u and mikeyxda for their contributions!
*Edit 6/14/2012* - Rathore4u stepped up and helped us out - we now have our very own modified mail app for the E4GLTE! This version has none of the bugs the previous one had (text prediction/deletion works just fine [tested using SwiftKey] and notification sound works as well). I've replaced the attached file with the fixed version, and included a flashable zip I made for those who are lazy like me
Attached Files (newest files are blue):
Mail-41.apk - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled (2.13.651.1 base - NEWEST)
Mail-sans-security_E4GLTE-41.zip - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip (2.13.651.1 base - NEWEST)
Mail.apk - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled (from older base)
Mail-sans-security_E4GLTE.zip - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip
Mail-MeanFeatures-NoSecurity.apk - MeanROM mail (Sync while roaming and HTML enabled) with security disabled [rename to Mail.apk when you install]
Mail-MeanFeatures-NoSecurity-E4GLTE.zip - MeanROM mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip [this zip backs up your previous Mail.apk as Mail.apk.bak, in case you want to go back to stock]
Mail-No-Security_EvoLTE-JB.zip - Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip
Stock-Mail_EvoLTE-JB.zip - STOCK Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail, recovery flashable zip (revert to stock!)
[*]Stock-Mail_3.16.zip - Stock Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail 3.16 OTA, recovery flashable zip
[*]Mail-No-Security_3.16.zip - Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail with security disabled for 3.16 OTA, recovery flashable zip
Thanks so much for this! I'll give it a try, have had modded mail.apk files for all of the other sense versions.

Works well
Thanks, works great!!
I've used this, and it has worked to disable exchange policies. I get a very strange response now though when I try to delete or correct a misspelled word. The word will duplicate itself, and it makes it almost impossible to delete. I have tried three different keyboards, and it does it with all of them.
Any thoughts?

For those of you having the problem, what keyboard are you using?
Edit: I tested this using Swype, SwiftKey, and the HTC keyboard. The delete bug occurs using any keyboard except HTC's, for some reason. I've posted in rathore4u's original thread to see if he can help, I'll let you all know if he can figure it out.

Yeah, the bug occurs in the preloaded version of Swype, as well as Swiftkey X, and Swiftkey 3 beta.
For folks using Swype, just go to Swype preferences and disable word suggestion (all 3 checkboxes) and this problem goes away. However the problem with the notification sound not working still remains, atleast I can't find a workaround for it.
Rathore4u helped us out and made a modified Mail.apk based on the E4GLTE's apk. I've tested it and it doesn't have the text prediction/deletion bug (tested using SwiftKey) and it does play notification sounds!
I've updated the OP with the new Mail.apk, and also created a flashable zip if that's what you'd prefer.

Just a note, the new version is deodexed. Which in my experience, if you are on an odexed ROM (stock) will cause you to see an "Android is upgrading" window everytime you reboot and it slows down reboots.
I'm looking to see if we can odex that apk so we will have both versions.
Here is the odexed version I just made, works great!
This is NOT a flashable zip. Extract out mail.apk and mail.odex and copy them to /system/app

I believe it does the "updating apps" thing only once, doesn't it? I made my zip erase mail.odex so it would work with the odexed ROM (at least, I think it should).

The text prediction/deletion bug also went away with Swype, however the notification sound still isn't working for me. I have replaced the app, cleared cache and dalvik cache. Also tried re-setting up the exchange account again and that didn't help either. Anyone else facing this issue?
DISCONTINUED
Sorry, I just sold my phone, and I can't develop for it anymore. I will keep these threads for you guys until something better will occur, but I will have some trouble to solve the problems. Thank you for all appreciations.
-- If this will help, you can still say thank you -- press the Thanks button! :good:
I was never a fan of sense, and if I would knew what is that when I bought the phone, I would have different phone now.
But, I made a version based on HTC T328W European ROM 1.73.401.4, with less sense possible without breaking HTC system.
FEATURES
- I integrated the new SOLO Launcher Free, which is very good.
- I replaced a lot of apps with better ones
- I let sense 4 lockscreen in place because I like to see who is calling before answering, and also it's not unlocking automaticaly when receive a call like a third party lockscreen - but you are free to replace this with what you want.
- I integrated Sony Bravia Engine 2 and Xloud.
- I aplied Supercharger and init.d from my other ROM.
- and many other things...
The ROM is optimized, zipaligned, odexed or deodexed at your choice.
Untill now, the ROM is very fast, stable and smooth, and it seems to be more friendly with battery. I didn't see any bugs. If you do, please tell me to solve them.
INSTALLATION
To install, it's the same procedure you know:
Connect your sdcard to computer with a sdcard adapter, or in recovery with USB Mount, and delete these folders:
.android-secure
Android
LOST DIR
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy this ROM zip to sdcard. Reinsert sdcard in your phone.
1. boot in bootloader (from shutt down mode, press vol down and briefly the power button at the same time and keep pressing vol down untill bootloader starts and then press power again to enter in fastboot)
2. connect your phone to computer
3. flash recovery [fastboot flash recovery maxrecovery6.img] - if you don't have a custom recovery, or if you want to try one of my versions
4. flash boot [fastboot flash boot desenboot.img] -see attachments (if you are running european version, you don't need to do that)
5. press power to return to bootloader
6. press vol down to select recovery and then press power - the phone will reboot in recovery.
7. Go advanced - wipe Dalvik cache, confirm
8. Go back, and then wipe all data/factory reset
9. Install zip from sdcard
10. choose ROM zip and confirm install
11. Wait, it will take some time
12. After install finished, reboot phone
First boot will last a litle bit longer (more minutes if your sdcard has a lower class).
After phone start, in first home screen, press home buton to start Settings phone wizard (you will see a home sign in notifications bar - that's what it means); if you don't want to do that you can't enter to your phone. The settings wizard is the classic one from htc. After that, you will figure out what to do
Enjoy!
DOWNLOADS - version 4 updated
1. Deodexed version - only app folder
2. Version with Gapps included
UPDATES:
Rebuilded ROM, removed buggy apps, slimed without gapps. These can be flashed separately if you need them. Also gapps zip will replace the calendar with stock one.
QUICK TIP:
If you like to customize the ROM, and after that to odex it, it's easy.
Download the deodexed version, flash it, remove apps you don't need, add apps you want. At this part, stay away from HTC apps, they are already striped out at maxim.
Then connect the phone to PC in charging mode, open a command prompt terminal where do you have adb installed and type:
Code:
Code:
adb remount <Enter> (this will start adb server and remount your phone system - you should see 'remount succeeded')
adb shell <Enter> (you enter in phone root shell)
dexo <Enter> (and wait for the phone to restart - it will take up to 2 min)
The odexer method is developed by tommytomatoe and presented here.
You only have to do what I wrote, the ROM is already prepared for that, and all my ROMs are.
If you choose to try this ROM, I assume that you know what you are doing, and I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
Thanks for this rom. I was actually waiting to see our phone senseless and you did it. Installed this morning, RAM management seems to be great.

Yes, the ram works well. I don't use google apps, and my top ram usage is around 280Mb, but average 180 Mb.
Now I'm preparing a version two, with some improvements.
You're welcome!
Well, i can see that Version2. Can you share what are the changes? I can see new camera, gallery app.

Well, I updated Launcher to last version, which is even better, changed camera, clock, gallery, and I added Personalize back for easy wallpaper change. I removed HTC locations which keeps to give install error, and I let only Google locations and maps.
I thought to change launcher, but after testing nova free, I came to conclusion that solo is better: low memory usage, more features (like unread counts for calls and sms - in nova these are paid); the only thing I notice in solo launcher that could make me to change it is that you can not fill a screen with shortcut because it will have lag, but you can put them in a folder instead, and open with one touch with no lag.
And I did a few other improvements.
By the way, in this ROM you can see bravia engine at work (no artifacts on white surfaces, better photo, images, videos), but also xloud - now in music listening I have to reduce volume to be confortable. But, best part is that the battery consumption is normal. When I tested those features on my other ROM with sense 5 skin, it drain 10% only in settings. I think, if I remove those parts from this ROM, the battery will last even longer, but they are to good to remove them.

I forgat to mention that, is the new GoogleCalendar, and it has some trouble with synchronization and new events. I will release until tomorrow a patch to replace this and camera.

I'm sorry for this bugs, I tried to match Jellybean appearance, and this calendar and camera was the closest thing, but seems to not be compatible with ICS.
Thank you for suggestions!

It's supposed to disapear, the calendar, because the new one it's called aCalendar. If you still have the icon, you should clear it manualy, as I said before. And in this new one, in menu you have multiple options, between them synchronize. But, with what do you want to synchronize? with google calendar online?

That will be a little bit hard to do. Baidu develop their ROM like an "ecosystem", almost all proprietary apps are interconected and have references in framework too. I took a look at java classes from Baidu framework and I found that. But you can try one from lewaos, they seems to be similar.
Yes, it is interested in a complete two-way synchronization of events with Google.
Unfortunately, as I understand it - aCalendar not support full synchronization with Google.

I understand. I can't test this calendar for that, but you can check this page http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12823/synchronize-with-multiple-calendars. They show you how to syncronize a calendar with google, and even this one, aCalendar.
I hope it will help you.
--------------------------
Also, you can uninstall aCalendar with ESFile Manager as Root Explorer (don't forget to delete aCalendar.odex from system/app after that), and you can copy HTC Calendar, named Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from a stock ROM to /system/app, change permissions to rw--r--r--, reboot to recovery and delete dalvik cache, restart. That if stock calendar worked for you. I attached the files you need if you want to do that. I don't put widget too, because widget only work with sense.
Dear Carliv!
Is it possible that the standard calendar could work for your excellent firmware??

Wait, I found out why it didn't worked. Download attached zip. Unpack and copy all those apps in system/app, clear dalvik cache in recovery, and it should work now with every calendar.
I don't use gapps, and that's the reason I cut that part from it.
