For some reason none of the regular email apps that have the option to disable the pin lock on the lock screen aren't working for me. But the stock mail app works great but I can't stand the pin lock. Does anyone have an apk that I can flash or push to bypass this? Or could someone direct me in a way to modify the apk myself?

I use enhanced email which uses the web services and thus does not enforce pin requirements.

For some reason enhanced email keeps losing my settings and I have to constantly setup my account. And then tonight after setting it up for the 20th time it wouldn't get any mail. So I downloaded touchdown and it did the same thing... Once I setup the HTC mail it worked great.

Yeah, go look at the info section on the app in play store. It has a link to a loong thread where they explain why... it's actually a bug with the OS. You can sideload the app, or as I did, install it from Titanium backup to make it work properly. Mine is solid.
Is this you trying to get around corp security? I'm using exchange and I don't even have a lock screen

Try this, it works. You'll need to be familiar with using smali/baksmali.

Yes, there is a setting to enforce a lock via password or pin. His admins are using that policy.

I have 2 accounts on my stock email, but can't see an easy way of switching between them.

I know this isn't an answer to your question but do yourself a favor and dump the stock email app and start using K9. Hands down best non-enterprise email app for Android and is free.
Just a suggestion.
should be able to hit menu then accounts to switch between them
I have used it and like it, but it's always my top battery user. I've been using Enhanced Mail, but it seems to kill my keyboard and *may* be causing reboots. So I thought I'd try the stock, which has some surprisingly nice features......but oddly no quick way to switch between accounts.
Thanks for the thought though.

In K9 I have 3 accounts set-up to sync every minute and only ever shows battery usage of 2% in settings. Wonder why yours is using more?
That is interesting.

Makes sense, but I don't have that option when I press menu.
And when I tap on the account at the top it shows me the folders.
The only way I can change between them is to go into settings and change which one is the default and that is the only one I can see.
I was wondering if you could get XDA notifications when someone has quoted you etc. on your phone when using the XDA App? I have the app and I have went into the settings and set it to check every 5 minutes but it doesn't seem to be working. I must be missing something or maybe it isn't possible.
Thanks everyone.

i have my gmail account tied to my xda account, set the email notifications to immediate and i never have any problems, iirc this is the only way to get any notifications for xda.
Has anyone ever seen a hack to force the email app to always display images? Having to hit the damn button for every freaking email drives me nuts ..

Some of us can't use Gmail for our work email.
I know we have to uninstall Facebook and Messenger in order to install Facebook Home. Since Facebook is integrated with HTC, how do we accomplish this?

Once you're rooted and either s-off or installing a kernel that allows write to system, then you use an app like root explorer to delete those apps from system/app.

Try disabling the native FB ap before you download the hacked version then reset up facebook from there. Worked for me stock dNA

The version I installed from these forums included a ~17mb Katana (fb app) apk and a ~260kb fb home apk, I just installed the Katana apk (installed over old one) and then installed home apk. It said "facebook home isn't for your device yet", then went to the fb app, which said "finish setup" and then it asked me to choose HTC Sense or Facebook Home as a default launcher and I chose home, and it works perfect.
Although I highly recommend you go into apps settings and turn on forced GPU 2D rendering for Facebook, as it lags alot without it.
I got it running (actually liking it so far ) but my messages won't show the keyboard? I can't respond. The messages go all the way to the bottom.

The Messenger App just won't let me enter text in for text messages. That's the problem. I used to the guide on XDA to install the com.orca (messenger). Texts notify and display, chat heads shows up. Just no way for me to send texts thru it.

Facebook home will not let me can't drag tool bar on the top of Facebook Home so that it is not convenient to see the miss call.And it cannot change the wallpaper,strongly hoped they improved the experience quickly.
I'm not a Facebook fan but I do like it some what

Bump...for interest. Anyone got version 1.1 apk working or as a lock screen?
I upgraded my phone to Lollipop. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I know I HATE the colors. They are HORRIBLE... I want dark colors... I love black backgrounds with white lettering... not the other way around like it is.. yuck...
Anyways.. I put a Pin lock on my phone for a few but I don't want it locked anymore. I tried to change the phone lock to NONE but the NONE selection is light grey color and I am unable to choose NONE as an option. I included a screenshot. Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can fix this?? Please & Thank You

Do you happen to have an Exchange account set up? I know with my company the policies are to require a password or PIN to unlock the phone.
No I don't have that kind of account.
Does anyone have any help they can offer me for this problem I am having...
Read the 1st post in this topic and it will explain..
I don't want a lockscreen on here anymore but I am not given the option to use either "none" or "swipe".... they are greyed out and I can't choose it...
Please help me!!

You've set something up on your phone that has administrator rights and has disabled a bunch of stuff. Trust me, I know, I have a corporate phone and see the same screen you attached to your post. Check your accounts, delete work email or exchange account...
I have no work email on my phone or exchange accounts. I was always able to choose to not have a lock screen until I upgraded to lollipop.

Do you have FoxFi for tethering? It requires a security certificate to be installed and acts as an administrator on the phone to enforce a modicum of security.
Go to Settings|More|Security Then click on Phone administrators. clear anything that is checked. then reboot the phone and try to remove the lock screen.
Let us know what happens.
I don't have anything installed for tethering. I went to settings/more/security/phone admin... and there is nothing checked.

Two options from a quick Google search. Amazing what you can find.
1. Remove any guest accounts. Verizon/Samsung removed this from our phones, so skip to item two.
2. If that doesn't work, delete certificates.
Settings / Security / Clear credentials - Clear all credentials.
Will deleting the certificates ruin anything on my phone??

No, it's the recommended solution found in a Google bug report thread. They will be restored, but you will, according to what I read, get your lock screen options back.
It worked!! I love u... thank u so much!!
