I can't seem to find any info regarding this but does the Nexus S support Dual NAM like the Rogers Second Voice Line Service? As in two phone lines on one SIM card?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
Its call Google voice. Look it up. It works very well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintirish:
Just wondering if there is a guide out there for the proper way to upgrade your MicroSD card without losing settings and programs? My card is currently partitioned and I am running MidNight ROM 5.5. I have the latest Bonsai as my recovery tool.

As I recall, there is more to it than just copying the data from one card to another because of the hidden partitions or whatnot. Maybe I'm wrong though. TIA for your help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
no? You don't need to do anything special...copying the data over should be good enough. If your really that paranoid you could dd the old card to the new one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Format the new one on your pc. The phone doesn't always do a great job.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
Don't forget to show hidden files on your windows machine. I think the mount points your partition will be hidden. Not sure if you will have to repartition or not. Best advice I can think of is to ask the dev of your kernel. I could wrong.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gauner1986:
Hey guys,

just thought i'd share this with you. For those who don't like corporate control. :)

This Email.apk should pretend to the exchange server that device administrator is active, while not really enabling it.

While configuring your Exchange account there will be a message that device administration will be enabled.. If you press OK you would normally be shown the permissions needed by the device admin and be prompted to confirm them. This screen won't be shown anymore. You can also check "Settings/Location & Security Settings/Select device administrators", which will show an empty list now.

Have fun.

EDIT: KH3 version added

EDIT2: For all those curious guys in here.. ;) The patch is that easy actually.. I'm too lazy to make a diff so..

The file that needs to be changed is com/android/email/SecurityPolicy.smali:

You need to find this method signature and change the first boolean constant:

That's it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Funkyfin2000:
Fantastic thank you :)

But how do I push this on to my device? Tried to install via ASTRO but Email app already installed and can't reinstall over the top!

Any help appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gauner1986:
You need to place it manually in /system/app after removing the existing Email.apk AND Email.odex. I have to look into making a CWM-package.. Until then you'd have to place it there manually using a mobile terminal app or ADB.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DarkDvr:
Unfortunatelly, doesn't seem to work.

I used the older 2.3.4 email.apk with bypassed security before this one, and it worked fine (replaced in root explorer in system/app/, no odex as I'm running Cognition 1.31).

Upon creating account, asks for security changes, I click Accept (or activate), it asks me to create a password. No way to choose "None" for security settings.

Email doesn't update, says error connecting to server due to security settings.

EDIT: FIXED. Weird though - when renaming Email.apk in Root Explorer to Email_Orig.apk, it kept the reference to it, and when setting up account, it didn't use the new Email.apk, but still used Email_Orig.apk (even after reboot).

Complete uninstall of Email.apk, reboot, copy new Email.apk, then setup the account - worked.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Croak:
Worked for me using Root Explorer (moved stock apk and odex, copied new, rebooted, reconfigured Exchange account, done).

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gauner1986:
Yes.. You need to completely wipe Email.odex and Email.apk, place my file there and reboot. Or if it doesn't work out, better reboot twice (After deleting and after placing the file there)..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] angel of other:
call me stupid here, but I can't find the odex file anywhere; could someone please point me in its direction?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] reidar.ostrem:
Probably you rom is deodexed, hence no odex file. No worries.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] angel of other:
I believe it is; thanks for the clarification of that :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] reidar.ostrem:
After reboot my exchange accounts disappeared, anyone else experienced this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gauner1986:
You may need to reconfigure your email accounts.. If you delete the apk in /system/app and reboot afterwards Android would possibly wipe the userdata for this app.. Not my fault ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nickporwal:
Thank you so much much for this awesome MOD. Its working flawlessly on VR2.3. Please keep this mod alive further. Its very useful.

Did anyone get this to work on Snakes KG3 rom? It doesn't seem to be working for me. I pushed it using root explorer and when I restart my phone and setup the account again, it's still asking me to put in a pin or password.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Croak:
If you hadn't noticed the thread title, it's meant for KG3.

i hope you will be able to make a universal one that would work flawlessly on all ROMs.

thanks for this

Added a KG6 version of this. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MatMaul:
Thanks for that, it works great. I hate the fact of my employer having any control on my personal phone, even if this will likely never be used.

Could you post the smali patch so other people can fix it if needed?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shelter:
Works fine (KG6), thank you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cink40:
will this be working in my case: on my phone admin thru message while i setting up exhange demands to use password with 6 charachters. If i choose less exchange does not work?

Thanks in advance...(exchange server 2010)

Not sure as dont run 2010, but you can always do a backup and then give it a try... If it doesnt work just revert back and no harm done...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] paalkr:
Thanks!

Works great with the corporate exchange 2010 server! Happy to be able to use pattern in stead of pin or password to unlock my phone :)

I am on cm7 based rom. Can you get one version for those rom as well? I can provide u original apk.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CrackaBoi:
Very cool. But will security features such as remote wipe still work with this APK in place?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] monkley:
cink40, yes it does.

CrackaBoi, there are plenty of apps that can remote wipe if it doesn't work via exchange...

gauner1986, thanks, for a great apk. Do you have any plans for a KH3 version?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:

Great MOD...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nybom:

Any chanse you can make a KH3 version aswell, would be great!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:
DG is taking it out of Cog due to wakelock issues, experience anything?

Gonna give it a try myself when Wednesday arrives, but I wonder if its using this method... If no issues I could look at geek'ing out next weekend for a KH3 version, if I'm feeling fancy that is...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Im back on ninpo kernel and will test. Was using Speedmod kernel so couldn't see if my phone was in deep sleep but didn't notice any major wakelocks using betterbatterystats. Will try manually hacking it from other thread.

I'm feeling geeky so going to strip this version apart and see how it differentiates with the other, as when I tried the other version out while back I did get FCs.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:
Excellent, interested to know your findings... This is just too good a mod to not have so I'm all for working on it... Just need a phone to actually test it on!

Mate came round yesterday with a SGS and it just made the wait even worse!

Even ordered a case today, getting all excited and that...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Ok, other version uses the code in SecurityPolicy$PolicySet, this version doesn't.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:
You got me there, editing as I was replying to your confuzzled post!

Do you know what this one uses?

From looking at both threads I'm wondering if issues are Exchange dependent... Think I'll be on 2007 as the company has a 2008 SBS...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
I've stripped the original apk and this one and found one file so far which has more characters than the original. Trying to find a program which can detect the differences no way am I going through hundreds of lines to spot them out lol!

Ok, I've found 217 differences between original and this version in com/android/email/SecurityPolicy.

A lot of differences in many files compared to other version as well. I give up lol
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gauner1986:
There you go @ KH3 version. And no. It uses my own method ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
:D It was doing my head in lol, leave it to the pros :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Haha saw your first post, I saw that was the only value different in that file among with the addition of $ in various other names but can't be easy as that can it? :o
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gauner1986:
It can. ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Cheers buddy, while I'm at it I'm trying out the stock AOSP version as well, both based on the same thing.

Main differences:

Appearance - AOSP has checkboxes to select multiple messages like Gmail, Sammy don't but can press menu then multi select. Sammy has a compose button on top AOSP doesn't.

Other notable differences, Sammy one allows you to choose periods to sync emails for example peak and off peak and within this set time and choose push, minutes hours etc. AOSP only has one setting and this is for the method of delivery push, then time intervals. You can set out of office with the Samsung one can't on AOSP.

You can change text size on Sammy and change to folders with one touch of a button, on AOSP to change folders you have to click menu then change.

Those are the main notable differences other than that both are virtually the same as they are both based off the Seven application.

Sammy version is the more premium version :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:
Thank you, that means I'll be going with a KH3 ROM now!

Why pray tell? :confused:

Surely a no contest...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] monkley:
Installed and working for me

Thank you, this makes my life so much better :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nybom:
Excellent, saved my day, or even month!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Why pray??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:
So you'll tell??

I was going for the old English gentlemen response... Not as good as calling someone a cad and bounder, but enough to give me an urge to tip my imaginary bowler hat...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
I see, well the stock version had a full day usage today, it was keeping my phone awake according to better battery stats it was awake for 25mins not bad I know but noticed battery drainage. My Gmail was draining battery fast and I've never experienced this before may be linked to the stock version!

Time to come back to this version and another full test day tomorrow to compare awake time!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CaspaTheGhost:
Ah, I see... Thought it was a feature/usability test rather than a performance based one... Interested to hear the comparison...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zyxeu:

KI4 email.apk

Does anyone know if the "email.apk" has changed between KH3 and the new KI4 stock roms?

If they are identical (checksum match) then we can continue to use the modded KH3 version with the newer rom; else is the OP still maintaining new releases?

Many thanks,

You can grab the KI3 version here from latest 2.3.5 VR.

Please try and test it, I've changed the code as shown from 1st post, not a CWM flash zip, copy and paste into system/app using root explorer or similar and change permissions to:

And as you can see does not appear in admin, so appears it works :D

Not working in KI8

I have tried this in my RomKitchen KI8 Rom. Copied the email.apk file into system/app using FileExpert and renamed the existing one. However I dont see Email in Applications.

Has anyone tried this with RomKitchen KI8?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Croak:
You'll need to move/delete the old email.apk, even if you renamed it. There's still a symlink to the old apk until it's deleted from the directory.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] peejay uk:
Hi All.

Is there a simple way to achieve this for a noob with an unrooted SGS2?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rafsi:
U need to be rooted to access system folder
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Yes me I'm on RomKitchen and works fine, delete old apk, and replace with this. Change permissions and you should restart for good measure.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Croak:
Just as an FYI, the KH3 file listed in the OP seems to be working fine with KI4 as well (and I suspect any 2.3.5 build), if you CBA to do your own editing.

I'm looking for a KJ3 version, so if someone can do that, that's great, but would also like to learn how to do it and become self-sufficient!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
They are all using the same version 3.0.0.1,try a 2.3.5 earlier release from here should work.

Making the change is relatively easy, just need baksmali and notepad+ +, and 7 zip.

brilliant, thanks mate!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ldb2000:
Which version should I use for the KI4 ROM ? I am lost :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Any version should work they are all the same as version has never changed, try out any of the KJ ones.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Here's the KK5 version I've modded, not on KK5 myself but sure it's still the same 3.0.0.1 app, anyway should work on any rom.

Same method as before, copy and paste into system/app, change permissions and reboot.

I am using ROM from Samsung, not a cooked rom. Do I need to delete all my email accounts before copying out the email.apk to do the editing?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
@nikzDHD Downloaded all the needed but don't know how to get started. I found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136625 and tried on my email.apk but it does not contain a classes.dex file.

If you can give me some guidance, I'll really appreciate it. Thanks.

BTW, I want to edit my Note email.apk, which is attached.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Hi mate,

Remind me in a few days, bit busy at the moment with work and Xmas coming up if I get time this week I'll try to guide you or just decompile it myself.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
Thanks. Appreciate it. I'm getting "IRM not supported" on my Note almost on a daily basis. When that happens, my Exchange Inbox cannot be synced. I can't afford not to sync this mailbox as that is my work email account. The only solution for me now is to delete the account and re-create again. This has been happening on my Note on almost a daily basis. Sometimes "IRM not supported" doesn't show up, giving me the impression that there are no emails but in actual fact, it is not syncing.

I'm trying an email.apk for SG2 2.3.5 since last night. The maximum font size is on Normal, and it is rather small. It doesn't have conversational view. Hopefully this doesn't give me the "IRM not supported" problem till you find time to help me out. In the meantime, I will continue to google for more information on Baksmali & Smali and see if I can help myself. So far my googling have gotten me to some help, but none has addressed my issue of missing classes.dex file.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
The SGS2 email.apk works but the fonts are too small which defeats the purpose of the 5.3" screen of the Note. I tried to put the classes.dex file into the Note email.apk but it won't run on the Note. I even tried to use the email.apk from the Galaxy 8.9" but it won't run on the Note either. I've have to wait for you to help me out as I've spent much time googling and trying but still can't make it. :-(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
I'll do it tonight, let me have some food and give me about half hour.

@zard, please upload the full apk as the one you uploaded is missing the dex file.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
After further searching, I found out that for some device, it seems that the email.odex is needed to retrieve the smali file to do the edit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972313). It has also dependency on twframework.odex. or twframework.jar. When I tried to decompile from email.odex, I hit error that I need to deodox using -x. When I did that, I hit error about some dependency. I went ahead to do the edit (can't find the location to change to 0x1) and tried to compile back and hit on error that I can't compile because of non-deodox during decompile earlier.

Can pm me with your email so that I share the files through Dropbox for you to download?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
After googling and searching the resources available from the Internet, I managed to find another thread on how to do the modding of the email.apk. and have successfully applied the change from post #1 to my source Note firmware 2.3.5 KL1 email.apk and started to test it about an hour ago. I can confirm from Account settings, Security options, Security policy list, that it has a much shorter list than before. Hopefully, with this mod, it can resolve the problem I have been having on my Note, i.e. the "IRM not supported" in my Inbox after a day or more of use. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pharaohnough:
Can you share your modded Email.apk?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nikzDHD:
Excellent to hear that mate looked on the note forum but couldn't find an apk with odex files in it.

Let us know how it works out for you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
Let me confirm that ire works for at least 24 hours without that "IRM not supporting" before I share it as I don't want to give false hope. By this time tomorrow, I should have enough time passed to know if it works.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
@nikzDHD I definitely will. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zard:
Looks like something is not right with my modded email.apk or this method doesn't solve the wrong "IRM not supported"

because I still encountered again. Looks like I have to check what I had and do more testing. :-[
