[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazyagg:
I've come across several posts/apks/scripts/tweaks to remove the stock email exchange security so I decided to share what I built and used. The email apk that is included in this flashable zip was not created by me (not sure who the developer is so I apologize). This is a simple and quick flashable zip file. I have tested it on my Galaxy S III running both Stock TW JB and AOKP JB (Tasks ROM).

This flash "should" work on both ICS and JB. I've tested this on JB but I've used it previously on ICS. If you have any issues using it on ICS please let me know and I'll update this thread.

Install Insturctions:

STEP 0: Make a nandroid backup or backup your pHere however you see fit.

1. Download the zip File for STOCK TW HERE or AOKP HERE

2. Flash the zip using clockwork recovery

3. WIPE CACHE PARTITION & DALVIK CACHE

4. Reboot Phone and re-setup your exchange account

The apk's in these zip files are technically the same 2 files but named differently to account for whatever rom you're using.

**As always, Flash at your own risk, I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone, but I will feel bad :crying:

SInce this flashable zip replaces your stock email app with a modified apk I'll upload all the stock apk's so you can always revert back easily. If you're not sure what your stock email apk's are just navigate to your system/app folder and find the names of your email.apk and exchange.apk.

AOKP Original Email APK's - Email.apk & Exchange2.apk

Stock TW Email APK's - SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk

Other APK Possibility - Email.apk and Exchange.apk

On a side note, I'll be starting an APK Repository shortly just as I did for the Galaxy S II. That thread helped a lot of members on XDA so I'll bring that to the GS3 users as well.

Reserved for future use...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Doomboss:
Thanks

Hmm seems like not that many people experienced this problem. But i need to install the email and exchange apk because the costume TouchWiz Jelly Bean rom that i was trying does not contain the email apk file originally (its kinda silly for not contain it by default...) so i need to use the apk files from my old AOKP rom. When i was setting up my exchange email, that security thingy kept popping out, sooooo annoying!!!!! Then i kept looking for a solution to solve it, and here comes the zip file. Flash it immediately, and problem solved!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Really thank you for this!!! :):):):):):):)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazyagg:
No problem. Glad it helped.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] giffyy:
confirm on note 2 LTE version, works great.

Thanks you so much for this straight forward apks, I always digging around to find such solutions, so that i can bypass corp security :laugh:

for other users with no custom recovery:

This is what i did, since i dont have custom recovery installed, I am stock rooted.

I removed the stock email and exchange apks

transffered the patched apks to SD

using root explorer, add the modded ones in system/app folder and rebooted the phone

and vola...worked like a charm

Cheers!

Will this work with CyanogenMod stable?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazyagg:
Yes this should work for CyanogenMod
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wgr73:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Just don't want to brick the phone. I should add, which version above should I use with CyanogenMOD? Aokp or stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazyagg:
Make a backup with titanium backup of both your email and exchange apps. After you back them up, delete them both. Flash either of the email updates, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. You should be fine using either. Worst case scenario, you delete the email APKs you flashed and restore your original ones.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wgr73:
Thanks dude!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wgr73:
I followed the steps, everything installed correctly I assume because my email app was back after I deleted it. However, exchange still asked me to accept the security steps. Is it supposed to still ask you (and just not allow it to actually make remote changes)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazyagg:
Yes, it will still ask to grant it admin rights but it won't require a password or security.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wgr73:
That did it then!! Thanks for the support!

I am also using the North American LTE Note 2 but after flashing with TWRP I am having the "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" message. Tried swapping over to CWM then reflashing the zip file but still getting the same error message. Anyone else getting this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazyagg:
Delete both email APKs using titanium backup or go to your system/app folder and delete email and exchange APKs. Then try reflashing
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] telephonemike:
So i have 4 email files in total being the secemail & secexchange apk along with the odex files. Delete all 4 of these then flash the "stock exchange security removal.zip"?

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

So I have got it working. Before I had not deleted the odex files and once I did that then flashed the zip from the OP everything worked just not how our security team wanted it to ;)

Thanks for the support!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EricCJacobson:
I was able to delete the 2 apks from \system\app. Where are the 2 odex files? What are they named?

BTW - I'm getting the "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" and "Unfortunately, Exchange service has stopped" messages after removing said 2 files and re-flashing this zip. I'm running Devil's Reject ROM.

New Info: I just looked it up and apparently the odex files are in /data/dalvik-cache. Unfortunately, my /data/dalvik-cache is empty. Hmmmm. I must be doing something wrong. Or perhaps these apks won't run on Devil's Reject v3. Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sKoWN_kAT:
My odex files are in the /system/app folder on Agriff's 747z rom.

Devils Reject is deodexed. I think I read a post directly from the dev saying that this mod won't work on his rom.

Give Agriff's rom a shot im running it now and it includes this mod. Works perfectly. :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enewman17:
Here you all go Stock UCDLK3 SecEmail and SecExchange

No Exchange Security: (Credits to rustamabd for his patch)

So far it's working on my ROM I can't test fully, don't have access to exchange server

You need to clear data from email and exchange before flashing

Hello fellow smartphone enthusiasts. Sometimes I itch to just up and change my homescreen setup. A few weeks ago i was searching for a way to make invisible icons. Well I found it and thought id share it.

What youll need.

1. http://www.koenigphotography.net/transparent_icon.png

the picture is small, find it and save it.

1a. send this picture to your phone

2. desktop visualizer - from the market.

3. long press where you would like your invisible icon to go. select desktop visualizer 1x1. This will send the widget to the screen.

4. click the icon.

5. select icon. navigate to gallery (or wherever your pictures are saved to) and select the transparent icon you sent in step 1a.

6. select icon - pic what app you want to open, or what action you want to perform.

7. repeat as needed.

below is an attachment of an example of my homescreen with an invisible icon. This is my homescreen. When you click the football in the players hands my fantasy football app launches. its small and subtle, but its sweet. If theres an easier way to do this i apologize. This how I did it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swift&B0ld:
I have made a back up with a CWM 5 (don't know exactly which one) and then again with CWM 6.0.1.2. I flashed CM10 and then when I tried to restore back to the stock ROM that I had backed up I got an error in CWM 6.0.1.2 saying that an "Error occurred while restoring /data". I checked the file size and it was well under 2GB. I don't know what to do as I don't want to lose all of this data. Is there a way to restore the backup made in CWM 6.0.1.2 or a way to find out which version of CWM 5 I used for the other backup so that I could use that one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_84:
I think it don't care which version of CWM 5 you use cause I think you used the recovery by chainfire. It's not longer supported by him so simply try to restore your backup with his last one.

Ordering two. Infuse and Captivate for sale :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] trita629:
The lack of an SD card slot, and the non-removable battery doesn't bother me at all.

Right now I still have 8.5 gb of available space on my Infuse (no SD card).

And the way I use my phone doesn't force me to carry extra batteries with me at all times.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrhaddan:
Well I love the Infuse, but just look at all the specs on the N4! With all the cloud services available, through drive, box, and dropbox, you don't really need expandable storage. You can use G+ to back up all your photos, which is where most of my storage goes anyways. Not a bad price either. Can't wait!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bjray:
Yeah, just sold my PS3 & currently selling my captivate to get this bad boy :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Connor Baker:
Oh yes. Yes indeed.

I fully intend to upgrade and can't wait! Just need to start hoarding money for the device (it may not be expensive, but I have no way of making money). This is gonna be good.

On a side note though, if the battery is non-removable, then how do you stop a boot loop :eek:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I would like an n4...but being the music lover and flashaholic...I need an SD card....I typically fill up a 16gb SD card with music (nothing below 320kbps...) and then a few more gbs from built in storage...and then the rest to hold ROMs lol...and I still always end up having to delete some older ROMs to make room for the newer ones :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
The Nexus 4 does not have the capacity to use MicroSD cards, so I will not purchase that phone. I consider that feature a "must have" in my phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
Hardware offered in the price range, it would be must buy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bjray:
Just hold down the power button for like 10 secs (same on ours too :)

You can't put all your music in Google Music? It hardly uses any data, and plays in high quality.

Dude, I know what you mean MG... Gotta love FLAC. I had to re-encode all of my FLAC's to 128kps MP3, and just so my music collection will fit on the 16GB version.

I'm actually going to switch over to Straight Talk very soon. So the lack of 4G doesn't really bother me. Their 45$ plan looks awesome. Anyone have any feedback? Also, will I need to do some APN editing on the Nexus to get it to connect?

Connor Baker
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I need to get a job first :P I pay the $15 a month for data by recycling bottles lol...my mom only pays for the phone service not the "extras"...aka data lol

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrhaddan:
Straight talk works awesome for me. Uses the same network as at&t and T-Mobile. I'm sure you will have to change your APN to get it to work.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrhaddan:
Yeah I read this yesterday. It was a bit concerning for me at first, but I think Adam might have been a little too picky about this. It is a pre-production device, and Google did say nothing is final until it ships. So we will see what happens. I'll still be going for it. I just need to purchase a good case for it as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
yeah some things in there were pretty standard. but still i think they could do better but probably won't. still can't be worse than the htc evo. and that was extremely popular. the evo had every detail that was complained about (cept the non removable battery) but the plasitcs and pcb were even cheaper, some even had cold solder joints eeek....i do think samsung makes one of the best designed devices. the plastics may look "cheap" but they take a beating. but even samsungs are prone to quality issues with the components themselves.. i don't see a problem with tape myself. i mean that's extremely common and it would only pull the traces off a board on the cheapest pcbs (ahem htc evo....) i doubt lg will be that thrifty on the final device.

in the end it's still an amazing device that will probably get 3 years of software support and still be a usable device at that point in the future. and that's what counts for those of us that hang onto a device for a long time. samsung might make awesome cpu's and design phones well but they have not historically been interested in long term support for US carrier specific devices and they, like motorola weaseled out of an ics update for capable devices so i've been less and less interested in non nexus devices..

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Mr.MacGyver:
To me, the Nexus 4 seems "rushed" to correlate with the release of both the new Nexus 7 & 10 tablets. My sister has an LG phone and it's absolute crap. It makes me question Google's partnership with such a company when other companies like Samsung and Asus are willing to sponsor other devices from the Nexus line-up. The Nexus 10 is a definite buy for me, but I'm just not sure which phone I'll be purchasing with my upgrade in December. Possibly SGS III.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elliot.newnham:
In terms of build quality, this device is not rushed at all, most people love it.

If by 'rushed' you mean lack of features you may be right. But keep in mind at $300 a pop, a few dollars here for a microsd slot, or $15 dollars for extra storage is HUGE. IMO the lack of features is a calculated decision to bring in the phone for that price point. I think it worked brilliantly tbh... But you can go with a subsidized carrier phone, there are other great phones on the market.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the nexus s and galaxy nexus didn't have external SD storage either. and the nexus 1 didn't have internal SD storage. android never had native support for multiple sdcards. but Linux is very flexible with block devices and ways to mount or link things in other locations so its easy to make 2 drives look like a folder within a drive so OEMS add external storage in ways that the apps can find it easily.

but I think the lack of external storage on the new nexus line wasnt just being thrifty or reluctant to move with the trends of the android oems. its probably intended to showcase the cloud services. Google movies and music work well and if you use them you have little need for additional storage. in some ways cloud storage is more convenient. there are no wires involved, you can use it on a desktop or mobile device and if you lose the device you haven't lost everything.

I'm still thinking about the nexus 4 as my next phone and will also look into a note 2 tablet, I think the stylus and overlay apps and Samsung widgets is making the tablet a little more realistic as a practical device and not just a novelty piece like the ipad. but I may just get one of those convertible laptops designed for windows 8 and dual boot Linux on it(assuming drivers aren't a problem) that way I have no limitations. because let's face it, thumb typing on a phone screen is fast and great for a phone. but finger typing on glass isn't practical and thumb typing on a tablet has reach problems. big screens need keyboards and keyboards give way to so many interface options lost on touch screen devices. which is why bill gates hates the iPad (that and the fact he introduced tablets in 2001 and nobody cares, but he knew as well as anyone else they weren't and still aren't ready to replace the desktop or laptop but soon will be close)

Has any anyone tried shoving the maxx battery (I'm assuming the eb40) into a regular RAZR HD? I currently have an Atrix HD and was considering doing the battery mod that everyone is doing but I just got a RAZR HD

Also I know some will say that if you want a maxx just buy a maxx but Rogers Canada is not carrying the maxx
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyvatron:
I would like this also.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heifeif:
Did anyone know, whats the exactly name of the 2530mAh battery?

EB30?

And... can you buy the batt. somewhere separately ?

If someone wanna uprade to EB40, i def. wanna buy the normal battery for my Ahd...

Thx
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grant2:
David why don't you buy the battery and see how it would fit in your Razr HD? Even if it wouldn't fit you can still put it in your atrix like you wanted to.

I am very curious too for the same reason you are. Doesn't seem likely we'll get the maxx HD here in canada.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grant2:
I just tried this. 2 batteries died to bring you this information:

The good news:

- Batteries are same height & width- the EB40 will fit perfectly in the slot.

- Batteries are both 3.8v & leads are in the same place.

The bad news:

- connectors are different. You will have to desolder the electronics from EV30 and attach it to the EB40.

- EB40 is *barely* too thick. As in about 1/3 of a MM. The mainboard will screw into the battery back OK, but it flexes a bit and prevents the screen from fitting back in.

Unfortunately don't see a way around the thickness issue. Maybe if you removed the NFC stuff and used a sander to grind some resin off the battery back, but that seems really chancy.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itzik_man:
What about using the MAXX back cover on the Razr HD..?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grant2:
I imagine that would work, the only issue is where do you get a back cover?

Apparently MAXX HD still uses EB40 battery so you will still have to perform a cable-ectomy to get a non-maxx compatible plug on it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
I have the Razr HD and just got rid of my OG Razr Maxx. The HD beats my OG Maxx battery life any day. The HD has a pretty large battery to begin with, 2500 mA.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motorolalover:
Great info Grant2...

So we need two things ...

1. A bit modified battery ( Not sure if that's possible.. but if somebody can do it .. a lot of people will be willing to pay the price.

2. Back Cover ( if the original doesn't fit properly.. we need Razr HD maxx backs.. and i am sure those are hard to find...)

Looks possible but needs a lot of effort and work.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grant2:
1 = pretty straightforward for anyone with a soldering iron.

2 = I called motorola today and asked; their reply "we don't sell ANY parts".

probably the big issue with the back cover will be that it's so complex: the plastic chassis (the part that we need thicker) is bonded to the kevlar back and also has some electronics embedded in it. So not only do the parts have to come onto the grey market (I assume that's the only way) but someone also has to assemble them.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibike2much:
I'll be attempting to swap a XT926 Droid Razr Maxx HD battery and rear cover into my XT925 Razr HD as soon I get the Maxx HD in the mail and verify battery is good.
