[MOD] Stock Mail.apk with the exchange policy removed

---

First off I take no credit for this at all. All credit goes to Rsotbiemrptson who is a Jedi master for creating this after many have tried and failed.

What you have here is a flashable crack to the HTC Mail.apk that will bypass any and all security administrators that may be otherwise forced onto your device when syncing to an exchange server.

To install:
1. You must remove all mail accounts that you have set up in the Mail app.

2. If you have any existing security administrators present from a previous exchange sync deactivate them.

3. Set your lock time out to none under security settings.

4. Reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Flash the attached file.

As with all mods or changes to ROMS do a complete backup in recovery.

If you find this useful please send all thanks to Rsotbiemrptson for cracking this bad boy.

Has anyone tried this?

I don't really understand the point of it. Is there something wrong with Exchange on the Tbolt? Mine works fine.

This is for people who want to use their Exchange account on their Tbolt, but DON'T want to give their Exchange admin the ability to enforce security policies on their phone (like having to enter a PIN every time you unlock the screen). Sounds like your Exchange admin doesn't implement any of those policies, so you don't need this.

Is this something that was implemented in newer versions of Exchange? I think my company uses 2007 still. Might be why I haven't seen this.

i managed to get my gmail, hotmail an windjammercable mail setup though exchange on my thunderbolt, but i kept getting sync errors where it would try to sync all three emails like every 5 seconds when the phone was operating in peak time. My battery went from like 100 to like 75 in less than 20 minutes So i had to just delete all the email setting i changed an go back to what i had before.

Now, if install your mail akp will this stop the sync errors?

It's been around since at least the 2003 version but it's all optional settings, your admin may just not have them enabled. Mine doesn't.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me

This absolutely works on all DAS BAMF roms but should work on any ROM including stock. You only need this if you have exchange policies pushed to your phone by your company. If you don't know what this is you prob don't need it.

I do not know if it will fix the afore mentioned sync errors but I would doubt it.

Here's a new question. When I had CM7 on my Incredible, Exchange wanted to setup device admin rights. Now on my Tbolt with Sense I don't get asked. Any idea why?
