I did not create this as I found it for the Epic 4G. It was previously posted by jamesey in that forum. Here is a link to that thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510248

I have been searching for a security bypass that would work for ICS since I got my A500. I wanted to be able to either use facelock or no lockscreen at all on my tablet. I also do not like my sys admin having complete remote wipe authority on my device much less having to have my entire device encrypted. These files bypassed all that.

I have tested this for the Tegraowner 4.04 ICS rom v160 and works thus far.

To install, unzip the attached file, and, using whatever .zip editor you have, open the ROM you are intending to install, go to the \system\app\ folder, and replace the Email.apk and Exchange.apk files therein with those from the attached file.

then . . . Flash that ROM in the normal sequence. (PS I used total commander on the tablet to make the edit to the ROM file, 7zip would not make changes to that particular

ROM's zip file

.)

Alternatively, you can do this without reflashing the ROM but it does not always seem to work perfectly. To do this, delete your exchange email account. Clear app cache for exchange. Make sure no device admins are seen in the system settings/security tab, then use root explorer (must fix file permissions using root explorer) or adb to add the files to \system\app\ folder. Then reboot and add the account.

Note, it will still ask you about the security imposed by exchange but not actually implement those security requirements. eg on my tablet, it indicated that my exchange had security requirements but did not say anything further and did not add the exchange server as a device admin in the system settings/security tab.

Lovin it. (goodbye touchdown email)

Replacing the stock apks via Root Explorer worked on my Transformer TF-101 with codename android on it. It froze, rebooted, and was fine, with security bypassed. :-)

Thank you!

This worked on Desire with sandvold ICS 0.15.0.1
[Acer Iconia A500] FaithOmitted:
Did not work on my Galaxy S3. I keep getting FCs for email and overall stability is degraded. Looking at the other threads for this, it may be because the stock rom is odexed? I may just pay $5 for an OWA viewer until someone can fix this for the S3.
[Acer Iconia A500] vivektyagi20:
Works perfect and is so much better than the stock Email app. I would really appreciate if you add a couple of features to this already awesome apk.

1. There is no option to set 'Out of Office Settings' from my phone while using this app.

2. Also, each time a mailer with pictures comes, I need to save settings for individual sender for automatic-picture-download-permissions.

If these two things can be added, it would be the best Email patch available. Thanks

Ok, i rebooted, and now i have two email apps in the drawer, one yellow and white icon and the other red and white. If i select the yellow and white icon, it says email has stopped. IF I use the red and white, i can setup email fine but security is still there. My guess is the i did something wrong while installed the new mail.apk

Alot of info here.

If I already flashed the ICS leak , now locked bootloader , S still ON.

Would it be 5-9 then step 13 ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
If you are on the ICS leak, I believe the new HBOOT that comes with it does not support flashing recoveries. I could be wrong though.

If you want to S-Off, follow from step 5 and onward.

If the new HBOOT supports flashing recoveries, do as you said, 5-9.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Great tutorial Hasoon but shouldn't you mention in steps 3, 11 and 12 that once you've finished flashing the ph85img file and rebooted in each case that that file should be deleted to avoid any conflict with the next step renaming to ph85img? If noobs already see a ph85img file, they might think the correct one is already there instead of deleting the old one and renaming the next step file ph85img which would be a totally different file. Just my thoughts to avoid any confusion which inevitably will happen. lol :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Unlocked via HTC DEV my old info wasnt working for whatever reason.

Followed steps recovery flashed , superuser flashed.

Titanium cant get root priveleges. Updates SU DLd busybox.

Not sure if Im rooted or if the app is wonky.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I keep forgetting that I follow steps the way I do things. I tend to sometimes forget writing things that are so obvious to me lol. I'll edit it.

Download Root Check Basic and take a screenshot of what it says. Let me see if the files got the correct permissions.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Weird , BusyBox was not launching anything. Rebooted now it does says SU not giving permission.

SU switched from Prompt to Allow no difference.

Update stops at checking for root.

RootCheck "sorry this device does not have proper root access"

For clarity S On , Bootloader is unlocked , CWM is installed , I flashed SU zip twice. ICS leak installed prior to all the above. S On, rooted , custom rom prior to ICS update.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
What version of CWM is installed? I want you to possibly try another one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
5.0.27 Which one should I try ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I use 5.0.2.7 and I flashed the SU zip and I had no problems. You can try 5.5.0.4 or 5.8.0.9
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Thank you for your help. 5504 fixed everything. :)

You're tool is fantastic.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Great to hear it worked!

Thanks! I love it lol. Makes my life easier as well!
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamenramen:
Thanks but I think that the directions could be even more explicit.

Using the all in one tool, it is not clear whether the phone needs to be connected to usb (some people may forget), and it's not clear what mode the phone needs to be in. Does it need to be in the bootloader menu by pressing vol down and power? Or can you just plug the phone in via usb and start it working?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xManMythLegend:
Just plug it in. Make sure USB debugging is on. App will reboot as necessary.

You need to SuperCID for Non T-Mobile Amaze Users. Otherwise, it isn't really necessary then.

Okay, well today, I picked up a new HTC One X. First impressions were pretty good, and I have to say that as of yet, it's looking like it's a pretty good handset.

However; there's one thing about it that really bugs me. SMS messages apparently force you to use these utterly horrific smileys. I was never a fan of the old android icons that occasionally popped up, but these icons are just plain god-awful. Is there any way of disabling them?

(To be honest, I'd much prefer just to have your standard ASCII faces... Not to mention, if you happen to need to send a message that just happens to have the characters in that order, I'd rather not have badly made face icons appearing in the middle of it..)
[General Questions and Answers] 3lliot:
bump. I can't believe htc require you to install a 3rd-party sms app in order to be able to get rid of emoticons. I'm a 40-yr old man, I don't want to see a crappy cartoon face in my text messages...
[General Questions and Answers] rohona:
thanks for this nice q
[General Questions and Answers] ~Echelon~:
My thoughts exactly... Not to mention, they're so badly designed that I spend more time working out what emotion they're actually supposed to convey, rather than reading the actual message...

Seems slightly out of place, too. The rest of the UI is nice and clean, fairly sleek looking - then you have these ridiculous cartoon faces slapped accross all of your texts..
[General Questions and Answers] NerdyLlama:
I'm going to go ahead and bring this thread back from the dead.

[General Questions and Answers] trevorshiloh:
The same problem is still occurring in 2018. I would try your solution, but it's outdated. I'll have to dive in and edit the files myself if a solution isn't found. Although, in that case, I would probably match something further from the :)x, preferably with 2 bytes because as you said, memory issues might pop up and I'm not sure just how far they went with this.

Yesterday, I got an ICS update for m Xperia Neo V and I updated it via PC Companion. I'm facing WiFi abnormal problem. I live in a double story house and my router (Tp-Link) is set at the first floor. As long as Iam at the first floor, wifi is working properly BUT whenever I come downstairs i.e. away frok the router, network gets disconnected. At the same time, my Laptop's connectivity to router also gets disconnected. And then I have to restart my router to make it work but again and again its getting failed. What's the problem? It's like my Neo V kills my Router :s

Please Help!

I use my phone as a Mobile Hotspot quite often on my other phone and just wanted to confirm for anyone wondering it works fine for the One S.

I don't have a tethering plan with T-mobile and the default mobile hotspot is working just fine. No changes were needed.

Update

I take back everything I said before. When I picked up my One S the sales rep switched my data plan and didn't tell me. I was moved to the $35 plan with tethering.

I called in and switched it back to the preferred android plan and can no longer tether the phone.

It looks like T-mobile also locked down the APN's on the phone. You don't seem to be allowed to switch or change them on the stock rom.

With the phone rooted I'm able to use: WiFi Tether for Root Users that you can get at the link below.

T-mobile will usually let you hit an amount and then give you a message that you need to upgrade. The new 5GB and 10GB plan include tethering though.

I have heard this before. I've heard 200 MB is the "courtesy limit". I'll pull down 200 MBs right now and see.
[HTC One S] zylith:
The one s has a block on it.. If you don't have the tether on your plan. it will let you connect but you can't view any web pages but the t-mobile one, letting you know you need to add the option. Also right now you can get it free if you have the 5gb plan. Does not work with android preferred plan :(.
[HTC One S] dc211:
I have an Android Preferred Plan and using the default mobile hotspot I just downloaded 220MBs from drop box and was surfing the web on my Nexus One that was tethered to my One S
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
I hope that we can just flash over the international ROM on this phone.

Root it and put ad block. Then it would be perfect.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptrask:
Hello all. Forgive my newness, but I was an iOS person who just recently started working with an Android tablet.

My Viewsonic gTablet was not running very fast on Android 2.2, so I decided to upgrade it to Honeycomb (or at least to Gingerbread). I downloaded CWM8 for the gTab, and followed all instructions. I powered it on, used my volume keys to select the CWM file, and left it to sit for the appropriate length of time. Unfortunately, the installation failed to go through. Soon after, I started having problems with apps crashing as soon as they were opened, and having to be forced closed. I decided to go back to factory specs, and started that process. When it restarted the tablet, it came up to the three-birds screen, and a message in the top left says Booting recovery kernel image. It then just stays there, and does nothing. It doesn't seem to matter whether I power up with the volume key pressed or not - either way I get the same message. Manipulating the volume keys doesn't seem to do anything. Once I left it like that for ten hours while I was at work, thinking maybe it was just slow, but there was no change.

Following instructions from AndroidZoom, I loaded a recovery file onto an external SD card, to see if would boot from there. No luck. Still stuck on the booting message, with no option to select anything from the external card. Now for the million dollar (or at least $200) question:

Is there a way to access the tablet's internal SD card from my PC even though the tablet won't boot? I figure if I can, I will delete the new recovery file, and load a replacement file from viewsonic which I was lucky enough to find on the web.

Picked mine up upon waking up. $178 out the door!

It was shown to be available for $250, before tax. Plus T-Mobile is running its magenta day deal right now, $100 off on any Android trade in. So I got $100 for my mytouch 3g. Plus on top of it, I still have a $50 rebate to send it. So my total will be $128 when all is said and done. Not bad.

Great phone so far! Can't wait for an AOSP rom, Not a fan of SENSE just as I was not a fan of Moto's crap intergrated UI as well.

[HTC One S] DigitalMonk:
Got the Magenta Days thing going on here in KC as well but I was ~$291 out the door because the trade in was a $100 mail in as well so after that and the $50 mail in will be $141 including taxes, upgrade fee; etc.

I walked out of the store paying 178$ with tax. 50$ of which is a mail in. The guys did the mail in forms and everything for me.

Glad im sticking it out with TMo. I have had nothing but great customer service for the past 2.5 years and hope for another solid 2 years. :)
[HTC One S] DigitalMonk:
So you got the $100 trade in in-store? They did all the trade in forms for me and packed my old phone but I have to wait for the $100 rebate just like the other one.

And is no one else seeing the "wavy" lines thing I asked about earlier in this thread?

I have an upgrade available for one of my lines as well. I'm hoping to get this phone over the weekend. How much did it come out to?
[HTC One S] toybreaker:
W00t - got mine tonight

Trade in deal or Magenta, is a pretty sweet deal. It is a mail in rebate here in San Diego but the catch (for us not them) is it does not have to be a phone currently enrolled in a plan. I am an existing customer only about 8 months into my 2 year contract with an HTC Sensy. I have an old original iPhone laying around and they are offering $200 for iPhones!! they took it :) its worth like $50...maybe. $246 out the door and the mail in is on its way. $46 upgrade all said and done.
