[Captivate General] l7777:
If the e-mail account is a business account and is controlled by an IT group that isn't you, they're protecting their business. They don't want devices out there with no password and an open line to their systems. If you want your phone to sync with their e-mail account, then you have to accept their security requirements. I don't know why everyone thinks that they should be able to bypass an IT groups security requirements simply because they're inconvenienced by a passcode. A middle ground would be a passcode just to read that e-mail account, but I don't think any of the mobile devices offer such a feature. The simplest solution is still simply to not sync that e-mail account or check it as an IMAP account if you can.
[Captivate General] FlaTLinE-:
Remove IT Security.

There is a way to get rid of this prompt but you will need a SQLDB editor like SQLite and Root explorer or something similar.

if you open up root explorer then go to DBDATA\DATABASES and then browse down to com.android.providers.settings then open settings.db

you will see a list of items, if you go under "system" then scroll 3/4 of the way down you will see the section for ITsecurity policy. [this is what the exchange services enforced on your phone.

if you change the section "devicelock_itpolicy_enabled" from a 1 to a 0 this will obviously disable this policy.

once the change is done you will need to restart your phone and you will notice upon the restart that it does not ask you for the password again.

problem with this is that its a remote policy however and the phone WILL be pushed this information again. [probably after only a day or two of use]

someone could probably write a MCR script to take care of this easily.

I've found the best way for me ot make the change is to copy the settings.db to another folder [like on my SD card] then make the change I need there.. and whenever there is a repush of the policy, I just overwrite the one settings.db with the other.

this is a temporary solution.. but it does get rid of the password policy.

another option maybe setting the timeout value listed below that.. some exchange policy will only check for the "password enabled" portion to be checked. but the default timeout maybe adjusted to something crazy..

default for my org is 40 minutes. [IE 2400 seconds] so adjusting it to 4000 minutes may just make me not worry about this value as much ;)
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
You are correct. They are protecting their interests and spend lots of money doing it.

Now, I did sense a bit of anger or frustration in your post. If so, calm down. These companies have every right to ensure that they deliver their info as securely as possible. Seeing as we do live in a free country, if somone decides they want to circumvent some established policies, then so be it. It'll be them that will have to suffer the consequences of their actions, not you. I for one am annoyed by those security features. Hence the absence of my company email from MY device.

If it bothers you, you do have the right to skip this thread and move on to the next one.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
What is funny is the fact that requiring a 4-digit password at boot up does very little to keep unwanted eyes looking at email on a phone.

How often do thieves steal a powered-off phone... Plus it takes only seconds to hack through that anyway.

It's like gun laws: it only creates another hoop to jump through for the people playing by the rules.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I disagree - the idea here is to protect data for certain amount of time - it is a barrier, but not made to be foolproof.

Do you leave your house door unlocked? It takes seconds to smash a window or pry a door, so why lock it? You have an alarm? I can turn off the power and cut the phone line from outside - so i just easily circumvented this too. I can shoot or poison the dog, so that is not perfect either.

I like the PIN Lock, and I wish i could add one to my phone. If you lose your phone, you don't want people getting to your stuff before you can wipe it. The PIN does that it, gives you time.

And it is not that easy to bypass unless you keep your phone in USB Debug mode, and even then Android should prompt for the PIN before mounting drives or granting ADB access - if it doesn't then Android has a major security flaw.

The pattern lock is a joke - as mentioned, i can usually see someones pattern. That coupled with the idea, that although there are 9 starting points, the next point is only one of 3 adjacent points, and so on for the next. If it is really complex it becomes hard to remember - unlike numbers which can be many digits long and easy to remember.

I for one am happy to comply with a PIN lock - it keeps people i know from picking up my phone and rooting around.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
So you power down your phone after every use?

Because this PIN lock only comes up at boot up...

and the numbers are visible when you type them in.

Didn't work on my captivate, and as I understand it, it shouldn't work on any captivate because it changes Sense-specific settings.
[Captivate General] novaIS350:
I didn't really read through this thread, but if this is indeed a corporate exchange account, then there is no way around it.
[Captivate General] mreevimus:
On my Samsung Captivate it is requiring it everytime the screen goes blank. With HTC WM phone i was able to set this to 24 hours so it would only ask once a day or on power off then back on. If I could make it prompt just a little less I would be fine with it.
[Captivate General] nsaia:
Same here. Everytime the phone wakes is a big pain. I set my winmo phone for 2 hours.
[Captivate General] flintdragon:
I also work from a company that does this. Using the standard email app connection to exchange server, it requires the pin unlock when coming out of standby after a certain number of minutes. VERY annoying.

The best way around it will cost you $20. Using Touchdown, the pin unlock is in the app only. It will only prompt you for it when you actually use the app (again after a certain number of minutes).

Hey Guys, sorry if I should not be posting a new post here. I am new to windows devices... I am trying to help my brother out. He has a Touch Pro2 and has convinced his boss to allow me to hack it for the sake of speed and stability. I am looking at the mirage of ROM's here... just as many here as there are in the Android Dev side of things!!!

So my question is, what is going to be the best rom to start with? I am not looking for fancy features... I AM looking to speed up the device!

So my question is... what is the best ROM for the sake of Speed and Stability???

I need this device to run as fast as it can... without overheating... I am not so worried about battery life as he, and the rest of his guys, have and use car chargers most of the day.

Thanks for your help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJGonzo:
I would recommend Wild Child's WCX here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750620

Thats the fastest, stock like Sense 2.5 ROM.

He is the chef that helps me with my ROMs so I know he does a good job.

You can also try LBFAR here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=642956

It is super fast but uses old UI.

I wouldn't recommend mines as it is right now since I got 2 or 3 bugs on the Sense UI. Its super fast but I wouldn't recommend it for "business use" yet. Maybe next release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nickf123654:
Best ROM

I have not tried the ROMs listed above but I have had great success! (Borat voice) with the Energy series ROMs by NRGZ28. He seems to have cooked a ROM for everybody (sense 2.5, sense 2.1, max sense, cookie... etc.) If you are looking for speed and stability, I would suggest his sense 2.1 or titanium ROM. For a fast ROM that has the most functionality, I would suggest the sense 2.5 ROM with cookie. He also adds in a ton of customization and useful applications and every one of his ROMs uses XDA UC which allows you to flash a ROM and automatically restore almost all the settings, applications and customization you had prior to flashing a new ROM.

Check it all out here:

Jackos Oldschool ROM WM6.1 21048 + TF3D 2.1

The author claims it's built for free RAM, not speed, but it's damn fast. WM 6.1 and Manila 2.1 - nothing fancy indeed, but awesome in all respects. As for stability - that may very well be linked to the amount of free RAM ;)

Oh btw. All the ROMs recommended this far are for GSM devices AFAIK. If you have a CDMA one, there's a different subforum for that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jacobfogg:
Thanks for the input!!!

I am testing and compairing three of the roms listed... I'll tell you how it goes. I think I'll start with the Jackos Oldschool first, as it looks like it might hold the most promise having the most ram available.

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G General] VSack:
Is it just me or does it seem like everyone and their mother are posting Roms in the Evo development subforum?

I'm not going to name names or anything, but there seem to be a few teams that work very hard at distinguishing themselves as great releases only to get overtaken by people launching derivatives that are not much more than wallpaper changes of the very same roms?

Many of us can tell the distinction between the two, but I worry about new folks coming in who have no idea. I'm not going to spread FUD, but installing roms from an untrustworthy source is a great way for real problems to be introduced into the security model of the Android platform.

Does anyone else see this as a concern? Are there any solutions we as a group can come up with? Is this really not a big deal?
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
Yes you are correct

OMG I changed the color of the call button@!!!!! NEW ROM!!!!!

Instead of theme change.

Either go cyanogen (uber premium) or stay rooted stock.

No need for the other bs. They don't do anything.

Now the kernels, I like, keep them going though. But the roms need to stop.
[EVO 4G General] JaiCameron:
I think people are just making them in a sad attempt to gain free donations for their "efforts" or lack thereof.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
so let me get this straight. you're automatically dismissing OMJ's work, Baked Snack, Fresh, Damage Control, etc. just to name a few, simply because they are not cyanogen? better at ease son.

secondly, you can't simply lock down the forum for the "legendary" cooks. what happens if a noobie comes in with a simply stellar rom that gives us 12 years of battery life and the ability to teleport but because he's not Cyanogen, he can't release? that seems a little asinine.

i think people need to be responsible for their own phones. research, do a little leg work, talk with some forum members, make an informed decision and go with it.
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
Nice way of twisting what I said. BTW...

Nice upoad speed dude 44mb
[EVO 4G General] myersn024:
I'm still a relative newb to Android, but I can see how it would be easy to get overloaded with all the ROMs out there. I've bounced back and forth between Fresh, CM6, and rooted stock for a while and I finally got sick of having to set up my phone over and over again (yes, I know about Titanium, but it's not good for certain types of things). Anyway, I finally said f*** it and flashed CM6 again and have left it there. None of them are perfect, but CM6 works the best for me.
[EVO 4G General] Pao23:
Less twisting then what you think. It's not CM or stay stock. I personally ran CM nightlies and CM6, both times I left them because even with all the fine work he's done there are very large and blatant things I don't think are great about it.

Does that mean it's low end, no, but there are lots of Roms every bit as highend and polished as CM.

Now on the main OP, I agree that we are seeing a flood, but also that there is nothing to do about it in an open community which is pushing people to tweak and express and share. It is what it is, and if they aren't calling out the people who put in the actual time into said Rom and giving them all the praise for the actual work then shame on them.
[EVO 4G General] nief1313:
One way to help new users do research, is if there was a chart comparing the more popular roms... o wait there is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746611

pretty unbiased test that compares several features that most people would look for in a rom.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Neif, you crack me up whenever I see you pushing your grid. I've been dircting people to the wiki to check it out, but good luck trying to stay on top of all of the new releases. More power to you.

And to bring the thread back on topic - there do seem to be a lot of roms floating around that don't really seem to bring anything new to the table.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
People are just posting what works for them. I am glad there are so many ROMs. If you think this is bad, I guess you never had a G1.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
This really isnt something I'd be complaining about. Check out SDX forums (Moment support). Theres like one rom still receiving updates. The Hero forum is also losing support. Im more than happy to see people pushing a rom they cooked. It means the kitchens out there are actually getting used for the reason they were made available. Imo thats what open source is all about. If you dont trust it, dont flash it. Its that simple.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
I also love that the kitchens are being used - I'm dying to try one myself. I don't think its a trust issue though, I think its that some of these roms don't bring anything unique to the table, other than some theming and the removal of some apps.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G General] oRAirwolf:
I do wish there was a subforum in the dev forum for roms. Perhaps a sticky's for the top 10 roms based on votes or downloads or some other type of ranking system.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
dsixda's kitchen has pretty much everything you need. I installed Ubuntu in Virtual Machine and have started messing around, but unless you know what to and not to change, there isnt alot you can do to make the rom unique. But its worth doing if you're interested in learning about rom development.
[EVO 4G General] N00dle:
I've been looking at cooking my own rom but the thing is I would not only give credit where credit is due but also call it what it is.

I may come up with the perfect setup of base rom, kernal, apps, theme and just want to share with people who maybe like me are looking for that specific setup.

Easier to flash a rom with all that baked in then flashing everything individually. As long as someone credits correctly and doesn't try and say they did it all themselves why does it matter if it's documented properly.

Doesn't make it a worthless rom just makes it a colaboration of great work.
[EVO 4G General] VSack:
Its not a question of worth, simply a question of signal to noise.

I've run DC, Cal's, Netarchy's, Baked, Fresh, CM, Nightlies, and probably ecen a few others...I still think some sort of metric is required.

I'm gonna try thinking of something.
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
First I think we should be happy the evo has a strong community. We may even lose some with the galaxy s phones coming out.

Next a agree many aren't much of a difference, but for those that don't have time to tweak stuff in the kitchen before installing, it is nice to find exactly what you want.

Finally I'm sorry to sound like an elitist, but this is a hackers forum. There shouldn't be such an expectation of things always being safe and working.
[EVO 4G General] N00dle:
I do agree there are a lot out there and it can be tough for people to tell what is what. I don't think it's a bad thing though, device support is good, it means that hopefully things will be running for a long time to come.

So i dont know if this has been discussed or if anyone noticed this. My GF was using google maps on my x10 and did the pinch to zoom motion out of habit (she has a samsung vibrant). Well it actually zoomed in on google maps. I tried it myself over and over and it zooms. I just cant zoom back out, only zoom in. Why os this? Is it multi touch or some weird error? Could anyone else try pinch to zoom. It ONLY works in google maps.
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Yeah, noticed that too!!
[XPERIA X10 General] kiltaiga:
it consider it like a double tap. (one tap by finger)
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
I saw this from another post as well. I've heard that it's a bug on Google Maps version 4.1.1 but doesn't that sorta confirms that the X10 is capable of multitouch? Personally I couldn't get the pinch and zoom to work on Google maps cuz I think I have a different version but there were times when I swiped across the screen and it zoomed in automatically. I wanted to post a thread here too but I know that multitouch topic is a taboo :p Anyway...I'm curious as well.

Goto 6:56 of this video for confirmation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKCBpzgKcuM&feature=player_embedded
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I think this happens because Google maps thinks that is a double tap. I noticed the same thing happens sometimes with Opera mini browser too (atleast for me)
[XPERIA X10 General] Daniel_GB:

Interestingly, if it's registering as a double touch, it should really work with all programs, shouldn't it...?
[XPERIA X10 General] WickedStyx:
As others have said it's just double tap. If you hold your finger in one spot then tap another spot on the screen it will register as a double tap where your finger is held. It is no different than double tapping the same spot with one finger :(

Hello,

I have finally got L2TP/IPSEC VPN working on my HTC Desire. My phone is rooted using unrevoked method.

Now the question I have is a simple one. I am trying to automate this so that its on all the time if there is a wifi or 3G signal present.

Inside the standard app it doesnt offer any save password features so I was going to make a script to dial and keep the connection up.

Now the problem I have is ive looked high and low for answers or hints/clues on how you go about doing this but its come up blank. I was hopping someone had a clue on how you do this?

I also have an OpenVPN setup and I can keep this up as the applcation has support for this but the issue is I get teriable performnce compared to my kernel based linux PPTP server. I do hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
