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

Hey folks!
I wonder if there are any alternative clients for WhatsApp that care a bit more about privacy or if there is a way to prevent the official client from uploading all your contacts rto their servers?
[offtopic] use telegram [/offtopic]
Yeah, looks nice, but I need something that's compatible with WhatsApp because all my friends are on WA and won't switch to another messenger.
So do I get that right, there are no alternatives to the official client??
Your right as long as you use WA then you are stuck.

OK, thx anyway folks!
Hello Everyone, this is my first post here
So ive been using the modded version of FB in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-facebookmod-material-design-layout-t2982613
and i have to say its really impressive, I enjoy using it, I also enjoy the Messenger Mod V2 (integrating Messenger within the app)
but I have an idea (or a request/suggestion lol), since this messenger mod is redirecting to messages tab in FB mobile website, is it possible for the mod to redirect to https://www.messenger.com/ and modify the resolution so it fits mobile screens. I know this is a PC website only (you will not get the log in prompt if you visit on mobile), but I was thinking if we can trick the website to think its PC, modify the resolution and integrate it within FB app, because Messenger website has more features than the mobile messenger page. I know its a long shot but like I said, its just a suggestion
