[Q] [Q} job requires a PIN lock screen?! Workaround? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I have set up my email app to receive emails from work. Now because of this, there are these new security "features" that are mandatory on MY phone! It is mandatory to setup a PIN code or password lock screen. I don't want this ****e! I need to receive these emails on my device but...
Is there a hack or workaround so that I can go back to no PIN code simple unlock of the screen whilst continuing to receive the emails? I have ROOT.

If you are rooted, pretty much all of the roms bypass that!

Thanks for your reply! I found the answer to my own question. I installed the "Keyguard Disabler" from within Xposed. This app was created for the exact frustration I have. Email security settings taking over lokcscreen settings. THANKS XDA!

[Q] bypassing exchange security?

Will this work for stock email on evo3d?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729753
There is an app called enhanced email which will work. It will cost you less then $10 but when configuring the app for your server, you can 'uncheck' security policies and you will truly bypass your PIN requirement.
I tried to post information a few days ago but some douche that decided to be mommy or daddy or whatever decided instead to posts answers the OP, to instead posts his displeasure with bypassing the PIN and why..who cares..
I am answering your question and this is the site/info:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qs.enhancedemail
It works well. I am using a custom version of the email.apk that has to be pushed and has security disabled. Search for that and I will try and find that one too..
Good luck..
Does this bypass the require device encryption as well?
I tried the OP but got an error. IDK if it's worth my $10 for that other app. I guess we pay with time rather than money...
Instead of starting a new thread is thought is ask here... For whatever reason my exchange account does not work with the 3D but worked fine on my OG EVO. Any thoughts?
Enhanced email will not work as my exchange account has to have device encryption.

My company has tight security and requires PIN and encryption. Lockpicker will not allow you setup the account if your device does not meet the requirements in the first place. Android currently doesnt have native encryption so the exchange server needs to be fooled. I use Touchdown, its $20 but it works great. I cannot comment on the other products mentioned. It has a 30 day trial before you have to buy anything.

Touchdown will bypass that.

How to remotely sign-in in android?

I was using my handset as a tracking device. It was working well until one day i decided to change my google password. From next moment onwards, it stopped reporting data. When checked the handset, i saw that it is asking me to enter the new password to login. Can someone help me out with this? How can I remotely sign-in my android device?

Editing the Mail APK

Okay this is a question I have been wondering for a while now.
I work in the IT department for my company and we are starting to move to Smartphones. We have an exchange server with active sync. When you setup the stock mail account to it there is a page that states that the system administrator of the server has the capabilities to wipe your phone, wipe data, lock your phone and other things.
2 part question.
How do I block that from happening, is there a way to modify the Mail APK to not allow remote connections to modify my phone
If the above is possible.. how do I stop that?
haha because I don't want anyone having access to my phone even my own department a my job and yet I need to know how to stop if someone outside of IT tries to do it..
I know its alot, any suggestions.
Obviously I am rooted S-on unlocked boot loader and all the bells and whistles.

Dont think its possible without writing an app that alters the ports your phone connects on...Apps like ad-blocker are a good start it does that for you... Just add the ip you want to block to his list after decompiling the app... Recompile and install... That should work itll treat that ip adress as if it were an ad and block it...
I've done this mod already. I'll post it for everyone as soon as I can. I based it in mikeyxda's version which has sync while roaming as well, so I need to check with him first too.

[Q] Help with HTCDev Activation/Get Token

Hey everyone, I usually read xda A LOT to troubleshoot, root, hack, do all things to my devices, and this is a great resource, I love it!
I've finally created an account due to a problem that I can't overcome. It's about HTCDev and the registration/email process.
I'm planning to root a Droid DNA I just bought and already prepped everything including custom ROM and kernels, etc. All I need to do is unlock the bootloader so I can install all the stuff.
Problem is, I can't seem to get HTCDev to cooperate with me. Literally all I need is for someone to get the boot unlock code using the ID Token I've already obtained.
Beofre, I waited hours for them to repair and update their registration process, and when they finally did, I registered, but they never sent me an activation email. But the account exists because if I try registering the same info again, it says the info has been taken.
Tried two other accounts, checked all spam folders, nothing. I even emailed their customer support, and even asked for help on their Twitter. So far no response.
Is it possible for someone with a working account to help me generate my unlock token if I PM them my ID token? Or any other way I can get past this one thing? That'll be great.
And again, this is an amazing resource and I'm glad to have all of you out there making the Android experience better.
Had the same problem yesterday. Registration now finally worked with the 3rd e-mail address I provided. Seems the activation email comes either immediately or never. Try again (until you run out of addresses...).

[MOD][Xposed][5.0] Exchange bypass for Lollipop

Bypass Exchange for Nexus Lollipop OS:5.0.2.
Tested on my Nexus 6. Reported working on Nexus 5.
new: add 3rd party ROM support (like Blisspop)
add Microsoft Outlook app support
Tips:
1. Please remove your exchange account first.
2. Please activate device admin for mail client in order to proceed, it won't affect anything if everything goes well.
3. Make sure your Xposed works on Lollipop.
Any feedback, please reply to this thread, and if this works on other phones, please also reply on this thread or email me to let me know.

working fine on Xperia M Resurrection Remix 5.0.2
Running 5.0.2 on my Xperia M, installed Xposed Framework just now. Not sure if it's working but see this post which shows screenshot of the xposed app.
Looks like it's an issue with Xposed for my cell and not this app.
UPDATE: Flashed a different custom ROM, Resurrection Remix 5.0.2. now both Xposed acc this exchange security bypass works like a charm. Thanks OP, was missing this ever since I moved on from kitkat. I don't like using third part mail apps like mailwise.
When you set up exchange mail it asks you to accept the server security settings, click accept. It will not set any settings but your mail will start working. Earlier I got disheartened, thought the app isn't working, so clicked Decline. Read somewhere below that it's supposed to be like this. Hit Accept ?
Is working fine for me on nexus 5. Thanks so much for this. Really missed this since upgrading to lollipop.

Does not work for me on Nexus 5 with Purity 5.0.2 ROM. Xposed is working fine.
Hope it can be fixed for non-stock roms. Really missing this.
Doesn't seem to work for me on CM12 on the Oneplus One.

How I know it works? When I set up my exchange account on my Nexus 5.0.2 (paranoid) I was asked to grant access to my work server.
Thanks.
Not working for me, nexus 5 current cataclysm ROM.
Works for me - Liquidsmooth ROM (5.0.1), Nexus 5. Thanks! Was the one thing I was waiting for to move to Lollipop.
Not working for me - I'm assuming this module targets GMail right? I have my exchange account setup in GMail and the module isn't working. Followed the steps indicated in the OP. Thanks!
EDIT: This actually is working for me, I was thrown off because it still requires you to approve Gmail as a device administrator. Looking at lockscreen security, for example, I can change it to anything including None and Swipe, options which are normally disabled without this module (the Exchange server's permissions are bypassed). Maybe in the future it will be able to disable it as a device administrator, but functionally the module is great.

yes, you need to click the active button, the way I did it is bypass the security protocol, so actually you received the protocol but fail to parse it.

yes, you need to grant the access, it won't ask you to change anything if every thing goes well.
Will this work with the Microsoft Outlook app? Or is it Gmail specific? The outlook app just updated today to enforce security profiles, and become admin on the phone etc. I haven't ever tried xposed, but if it's supposed to work then I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the hard work anyways!

ok, I just changed my first post, sorry about my English, looks ok?
Testing
Thanks, looks like it's working for me, but how can we be sure? My configuration doesn't require a lock screen method, but I'm worried about the phone getting wiped. Any way to simulate pushing one of these commands?
Thanks
