[Captivate General] DaNaRkI:
Untill this ROM is fully up and running, it's pretty much impossbile. Most of the ROMs made for our phone so far have been heavily dependant on Samsung. Tho some like CM7 have been largely free of Samsung, they still ended up using Nexus S firmware in a few areas. So still dependent on Samsung.

The ROMs are still using Samsung code. So we are stuck with whatever Samsung decides on. Once that ASOP ROM is up we will have fully functional and fully available code for all parts of the phone. Making it then possible to change any or all parts exactly as needed for how the OS runs. a lot of the ROMs would have been gingerbread'

months

ago if we could swing parts of the firmware.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] eschelon:
Alright kids, after much trial and error, here is a working Sense 3.0 Mail.apk with exchange pin security disabled for those who hate entering a pin every time they want to unlock their phone.

Other Sense 3.0 ROMs have successfully cracked their Mail.apks to get around this, but none of them ever worked properly with the Thunderbolt... but our wait is finally over ;)

I made sure to mod the apk to disable ONLY the pin security while leaving all other security measures intact

INSTRUCTIONS

(it's also never a bad idea to make a nandroid backup first):

For the Mail.apk

1) Download the attached Mail.apk

2) Mount the system as R/W (either using Root Explorer or 'adb remount')

3) Copy the new Mail.apk to system/app via root explorer and overwrite the older file when it asks, or push the file to system/app via adb

4) Set permissions as rw-r--r--

5) Reboot

6) After reboot, open up the Mail app and set up your exchange account all the way through naming the account, then hit 'Finish Setup'

7) You will be prompted to enable security policy... this is normal so hit 'OK'

8) You will get to another screen asking you to activate security policies... again, this is normal so select 'Activate'. From here on out you will never be prompted to enter a pin

9) Profit!

For the PatchedMail.zip

1) Download the .zip and toss it on your SD card

2) Reboot into CWM

3) WIPE DALVIK-CACHE!!! (Won't work properly if you don't do this)

4) Install the .zip then reboot

5) Follow steps 6-9 above

If you have issues, try clearing dalvik-cache when installing

NOTE: This only works with Sense 3.0, it will not work if trying to flash over the Sense 2.0/1 Mail.apk. And yes, this IS working on Gingerbread ROMs

Enjoy!

Love it! Too bad I am running the ofmgb ROM
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
Where can I get this for a non sense ROM?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Lipmonger:
Does this app have both security check-box options that come in the stock Email.apk app?

"Use secure connection (SSL)"

"Accept all SSL certificates"

I need both checked (and available) to access my work exchange server, and the Sense MAIL.apk doesn't include the latter check box, for some kooky reason. :confused:

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dunleavy:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I've been waiting for this for a while. I was using Touchdown but that sucks, lol. Thanks again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] eschelon:
The Sense Mail.apk only works with Sense ROMs. Sorry

This is still the Sense Mail.apk, I just edited the smails in the apk to return the pin security whenever the app requests it. You won't gain any new functionality with this mod so the 'use secure ssl' option is still the only one that shows up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mcuellar:
Do you know if this apk can be used on an Evo 4G with Gingerbread? The Sense 3.0 mail that comes with the Evo 3D is the only one that can do push Hotmail in HTML (other than TouchDown). Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ZuneNinja!:
Thank you so much!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DoctorZaius68:
Will this also fix the problem I have with not having Exchange emails pushed as frequently as they are on Froyo?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scassel:
I don't see how. This just circumvents the pin or password policy pushed by exchange admins.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] oc3rulz:
I just wanna throw this out there for some people.

PLEASE KNOW/UNDERSTAND your security policies at work, using this mod could/may be grounds for termination or civil penalties by your Employer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
Is anyone having problems with the setting for HTML emails as default sticking? It will stay for a bit but then later in the day it will be on plain text.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommy m:
Crap this hack doesn't work on the bamf 2.3 side project. It forces closes when trying to add an account.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
Will this Mail.apk mod work with the NonS3ns3 v2.0 ROM which is based on 2.11.605.0 GB (GingerBread 2.3.4) ?

thanks,

Scott
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
Sorry for the dumb question. What is the difference between the Mail.apk and PatchedMail.apk?

Im guessing that Mail.apk replaces the native app while PatchedMail.apk patches the native app. Is that right?

thanks,

Scott
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
I finally tried mail.apk with my Tbolt running NonS3ns3. First, the list of mail providers was blank when the app first started. I was able to select the 1st slot which was the one for AES. Then I got a forced closed when I tried to configure my Exchange server.

I thought NonS3ns3 was a Sense ROM and that the modified mail.apk would work.

Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
Switched to BAMF Forever 1.0.6 ROM and was able to use this modded mail.apk package.

Life is good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill102938:
I've been unsuccesfull getting this installed on BAMF 1.0.6. I get a force close before even attempting to launch the app. I've wiped cache and delvik to no avail.

Did you use the .apk file or the flashable zip? did you have to fix permissions?

I've tried both of the above :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adrynalyne:
You have to delete your Mail database. Try Titanium Backup and use it to delete the data for the app.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill102938:
Done and working... I'm embarrased to say that I've worked on this on and off for a few days now and never thought to do that :o

This was the trick and all is good :D

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

Now I'd like to find a sense 3 mail.apk with exchange security removed that supports HTML message viewing ;)

We're never 100% satisfied... but getting closer every step :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
I replaced the mail.apk file in system/app with the modded file in the first post. You need to change permissions to something like rw-r--r--.

Does anyone have a patched Mail.apk for stock 2.3.7 GWK74 ? (Using Oxygen 2.3).

It would be greatly appreciated.

I was really hoping I could use this on my Inspire. Bummer.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TauxiC:
This did not seem to work for me, I cleared the data via TB, but it would force close if I tried to add my gmail account or if I tried active sync.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] sigmaxaa:

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
I am thinking about moving from Bamf Forever 1.0.7 to ThunderSti​ck BareBack 3.0.3 [2.11.605.​9]. Has anyone gotten the modified mail.apk to work with this ROM?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] AndiHelldriver:
Hi Eschelon!

Apologize that I pick up an old thread, but you might be able to help me out with your knowledge.

I'm running currently the stock Sense 3.0 Rom on my Desire S and I can't find a working file nor a proper solution to get rid of the pin.

I tried already to reverse engineer and have already baksmali'd several patched files. But as I don't have the unpatched files, it's impossible for me to find the correct difference.

Could you tell me what you have exactly changed in the files?

Maybe also in the Sense 3.5 Version?

Many thanks in advance for your answer and hopefully assistance!

Best regards

Andi

[Thunderbolt Android Development] swieder711:
I am still on GB 2.3.4 (BAMF Forever 1.11). I am looking to upgrade my Tbolt to ICS (Liquid Smooth).

Can anyone tell me if this email modification will work with ICS or Sense 3.5?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahbrown32:
I'll go ahead and apologize for the length of this, I just want to provide as much information as possible.

I have a rooted Thunderbolt. My original issue was that I was having numerous restarts daily, and I would drop the mobile network all the time and thus couldn't send/receive texts or calls. I posted on AndroidForums and it was suggested to me to flash the rom and update the radio. My previous phone was a rooted incredible, but this was my very first time messing with the radio and/or rom. I did a nandroid backup and followed the guides to do both. I flashed the das bamf 2.1 rom with mr2.5 radio. Everything seemed to be ok, I didn't have any weird issues, but since I am new at this, I'm not completely sure if something went wrong or not. Here is the current problem I am now having...

I can no longer sync my google calendar, I keep getting the com.google.process.gapps force close error. And I get the com.android.phone force close error as well and will loose connection with the mobile network for a few minutes. Also I cannot get any pic messages to send/receive. And I just noticed that when someone calls me, my screen turns on, but it doesn't come up with the answer call screen it just lights up, and I can't answer the call.

I have tried searching for solutions but haven't found anything to work. I fixed permissions with rom manager, and have tried toggling sync on and off on the calendar and cleared data under manage applications with no success. Is there maybe something that I missed along the way or maybe some other solution to try that anyone can suggest? Or is there any additional information that I need to provide? Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonxlee01:
Did you use Titanium Backup to restore apps? Also did you use ROM Manager to flash ROM or did you do it directly from Recovery? Also did you wipe before flashing the ROM?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahbrown32:
droidforums.net/forum/thunderbolt-roms/140736-how-flash-roms-thunderbolt.html

I followed the guide on that site.... I did use titanium backup to restore the apps. I used rom manager to flash, but I did wipe before flashing (I think!). I have the new rom manager so what I did was download the zip files for the rom, move them to sd card and use rom manager's install rom from sd card, and selected backup, wipe data & cache and dalvik when prompted.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonxlee01:
Don't flash from ROM Manager. It seems to cause problems with some phones. Flash the ROM directly from Recovery (Make sure you wipe). Also when you successfully do that and everything is working, download the latest version of Titanium Backup from the market. The Titanium Backup included in the ROM caused problems for me as well. Just to be safe, download the ROM again.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahbrown32:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot later tonight and see if it fixes everything!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Haven't personally had any problems with RM on the Tbolt yet. Performs each function just fine. Since he said he wiped, sounds like he's restoring something from TiBu that's causing problems.

If it's lots of things with FC's:

Wipe and don't restore using TiBu. If you still get FC's then that's not the problem and you may want to reflash the rom.

If it's only a few things, you can wipe the data for those particular apps in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
This might be off topic, but you mentioned Titanium backup. I had my first major issue with Titanium backup last night. I too am on MR2.5 and everything went fine when I flashed the ROM but after I ran Titanium backup my phone kept going to the HTC screen as if it was doing a fast boot. I ended up having to clear out all my Titanium backups and restoring my applications directly from market to get my phone back to par. I hope that helps someone.

Things that were mentioned and things to add.

*Always flash roms from CWM (Clockwork Recovery Manager) not ROM Manager

*Always do a full wipe before flashing any new ROM. That means, go into CWM, Wipe Cache Partition/ Factory reset, Wipe Data, go to advanced and select wipe davlik.

*Run the ROM for a couple minutes to test if it's running smoothly and can connect to Google market.

*If it's running well, then proceed to titanium backup.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattsolberg:
When I have my transformer docked the screen will not stay off after closing the lid. Initially it will turn off, but after a few seconds it will come back on. It seems as though something is waking the device. I have tried a few different settings, and trying it with the charger plugged in, and also unplugged. Anybody else have this problem, and more importantly, anyone have a solution?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
check your time-out settings for screen and lock?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattsolberg:
I have it set to time out after 10 minutes but my understanding was the screen should automatically shutoff and stay off when docked and closed. Am I wrong? Could it be a kernel issue? I'm using the Clemsyn kernel. OC'd to 1.4
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
In Applications -> Development. Is the option that says "Stay on when charging" turned on? That'll explain why. Since the dock is technically charging the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattsolberg:
I was excited for a minute, hoped that might be it. But no, I don't have that option enabled. You're using the Netformer kernel? Maybe I will try flashing that. At worst it could rule out the kernel causing the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
Check your tablet is properly docked?

The magnet under the "+=" key on the dock will turn off the screen on the tablet ONLY when the tablet is properly docked. When the tablet is loosly docked (hard to describe but has happened to me) the magnet will have no effect on the tablet screen dimming. For example, if you disconnect the tablet and dock and place a magnet over the tablet (same area above "+=" on keyboard) nothing happens.

All sorts of dock issues happen to me when I force stop services or delete data related to dock services. Nothing has recovered the dock for me, except a complete factory reset. For example, I force stopped and deleted data on three services related to android & asus keyboard and the top row of keys no longer functioned until factory reset (e.g. wireless, bluetooth, pad disable, etc. through settings key and some audio controls). This might be a related issue if you are not on stock OS/ROM.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anchef:
my tablet is docked properly but is still got the issue that the screen turns on even when the lid is closed .. it turns off first but recovers a few seconds later ..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MmavisO:
Mine is exactly the same--the stay awake option is not checked, the tablet is docked correctly (slider is all the way to the right), and the tablet comes on while docked and charging. However, it does charge. I haven't timed it to see how long it takes vs undocked, or docked being used. I'm running unrooted, latest updates.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kamil205:
It was exactly what happened to me! Check if the dock button go until the end. This is made by docking well, not forcing the button. After that the screen went off has supposed.

Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anchef:
no .. ich checked it twice .. i can't push it harder to dock it .. the switch is all the way to the right.

Is there any known app that can handle the switching forced by opening and closing the lid ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I think this happened to me one time and caused a huge scare.

I had been shutting the lid of the TF and putting it in it's case...and having no problems.

But one time I did that, and it came back on and got VERY HOT and ran the battery to 0%!

I got lucky and just recharged it, but now, I shut it off everytime I'm going to put it in the case...you can't trust the shut-off-feature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gibeon:
Got the exact same issue, screen is initially turning off but when you fully close the lid it turns on. It's got something to do with the touchpad (for me at least), because I've got no problems at all when you turn the touchpad off!

Can you guys try this too? Just turn the touchpad off and see wether the screen will turn on or not. Might get us closer to a fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] w04g005:
Same for me, i also had the feeling that it depends on the touchpad because when you reopen it you can see the cursor somewhere on the screen. Will try it later when i'm at home! Maybe we have to use something like a script to deactivate the touchpad when closing the lid.

greetings
[Eee Pad Transformer General] anchef:
Awesome ! this seems to work (tested it several times now).. i think there might be a way to react to the intents fired by closing and opening the lid so we can use them to turn off the touchpad.. ill check it out later but im not that experienced in android so maybe someone wants to help :)

EDIT: There is a status change in LogCat made by the WindowManager. Its called notifyLidSwitchChanged but there is nothing in the log while enabling or disabling the touchpad...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bob Smith42:
Maybe this related to problem?

I killed a few application services and deleted their data, while in settings. Afterwards my dock was not working correctly, e.g. keys were disabled and other strange effects.

I copied the 3.1 update from the web to flash and re-updated but this did *not* fix the problem. Next I did a factory reset and this solved my dock problems.

Maybe your tablet is missing some ASUS control bits for the dock? If you can afford a factory reset it might help. Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gibeon:
I'll try, I'm rooted so I'll just nandroid and revert to stock 3.1. I'm glad the touchpad "fixes" it atleast, means we all have the same issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xrintintin:
Fixed

Thanks for posting this question as I thought I was the only one experiencing this issue.

The fix for me was found when Gibeon mentioned the touch pad. Once I read that I realized that the cursor was always displayed when I would open the case. Not sure of the reason. All I have to do is turn the touch pad off and it works fine.

I will try a factory reset/data wipe when I am ready but for now this works fine for me. Perhaps there is a away to fix this in the kernel (I have used both clemsyn/blades and netformer and had the issue with both) Thanks for the info!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Beako:
I made a thread about this too a few days ago, I still have this problem and it drains my dock battery in only 3-4 hours. :( (and that's WITHOUT using the TF at all for those 3-4 hours)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattsolberg:
Tested on mine and it is definitely the touch pad. Thanks for the help everyone. At least we've got a work around to use until a more permanent fix is achieved.

Would tasker be able to automatically shut down touch pad when screen is closed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gantonski:
I've spent some time on the forum trying to find an answer, but obviously that didnt happen.

I have my GS4G and want to just ROOT it without installing any rom to replace the firmware.

1. If i root my phone, can i do JUST that? or are there other steps after simply rooting that are considered important for the stability of my phone?

2. After i root my phone, will i still be able to do the kiesmini/OTA gingerbread *official* (not leaked) update?

My main reason for wanting to do this is for the bloatware and increasing performance, and to just have overall more 'control' (similar to the feeling of wiping a new computer from the manufacture's preloaded poop).

I have superoneclick v1.9.5. I used it as a test on my old MT3G, and installed the GingerYoshi rom, and all worked very well. I just dont want to brick my GS4G, as i paid full price D:.

sorry if this has been asked/answered, i try to play by the rules, but just didnt find my answer.

thanks,

Greg
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Super one click root 1.7 was what I used. It just roots the phone, as any other rooting method should. You can get ota fine...I always did. Never had a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Just so you know there's no one-click root method for Gingerbread for the SGS4G yet. Maybe around the time the official ROM comes out there will be.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gantonski:
what does:

"error:more than one device"

mean?? That pops up when i hit root. I only have one phone connected to my PC.

I'm assuming its multiple instances of ADB running? Im not sure..

*EDIT* My mistake lol. still had my MT3G plugged in, my bad!

successfully rooted. Thanks :D
