Exchange Email APKs for Nexus 4 4.2+ stock with security permissions disabled.
PLEASE READ THE FULL POST...ITS ONLY A FEW LINES!
Created using rustamabd's method, Full props to him.
Circumvents PIN AND Encryption requirements.
Created from stock and CM10.1 images, cannot confirm that it'll work on other ROMs.
UPDATEs:
5/8/13:
added CM10.1 compatible APKs
9/9/13:
New: Patched de-odexed STOCK 4.3 APKs added. Also, things were getting kind of busy, so I put the apks in a zip thats named per version, that was there's none of this renaming BS.
12/16/13:
Added CM10.2 compatible APKs
1/4/14
Added CM11 APKs
2/18/14
Added PA4 APKs
Tutorial:
Force Stop Email, and Clear Data.
Using Root Explorer (or something like it), go to /system/app and rename EmailGoogle and Exchange2Google apks and odex to EmailGoogle.apk.backup and Exchange2Google.apk.backup, etc (always important to have a backup that way you don't F everything up)
Download and unzip appropriate archive for your OS version
Move the files to /system/app
Set permissions to rw-r-r-
Reboot device
Note: You will have to allow activation additional security permissions when Email asks for it. But you should not be required to encrypt your device or set a PIN. Also, you will have to reload all your email info after this.
As always: for educational purposes only, can get you fired, jailed, tortured, etc. Use at your own discretion.
Can you explain what this does? A short description for nubs like me?

Basically stock email app may force you to set a security pin/pattern due to corporate security policies. This effectively makes any of your lock screen widgets, slider shortcuts unusable. This mod will allow you to bypass the exchange security requirement from exchange servers.

This is a flashable zip, works flawlessly. No harm or hate intended btw, just wondering.

The difference is that this one works, lol.
The .apks in that zip are incompatible with the 4.2.2 stock. There are a lot of ways to skin a security permissions cat, so if that one works for you by all means...

Haven't tried it yet but has anyone noticed battery drain with this version? I stopped using the one in the other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1749921) because it caused alot of wakelocks. Exchange Services became my 2nd highest battery drainer
Yeah I read about that on that forum. Supposedly it has to do with incomplete syncs with the exchange calendar. I never experienced the drain, but disabled exchange calendar sync since I don't use it that much anyways. My battery life has been reasonable, roughly 10 hours with moderate to heavy usage, 14-18 if I'm not on it a lot.

The zip in the thread I posted works fine and does not have any extra wakelocks at all. Battery drain is normal.

Works well with Xylon.
Anybody else on 4.2.2 gets' the "Couldn't open connection to the server" with an Exchange account? I get that very frequently and sometimes it decides to work.

You have to clear your current exchange account and set it up again AFTER you have replaced the files from this thread and set the appropriate permissions. It works quite well, specially also because it ignores the need to encrypt the device. Suberrrr!

I did. I followed the instructions exactly. My issue is at the very end of email setup, it forces me to set a pin still.

Just tried this out today. The files worked great with PACman ROM. It asked for permission to become device administrator, and then to enforce security polices. I allowed both, but it actually didn't enforce any new security polices that I could tell. My email syncs now. Thanks!

Try redoing the steps.
1) system>apps>email and force Stop and Clear Data. Do the same for exchange if it's running.
2) replace EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk in /system/app with the attached files from the OP.
3) change permissions to rw-r-r
4) restart device
5) setup your email. It will ask to activate permissions like pin and encryption, but once you click activate, your email should work fine.

Is it just me, or does this app not support push/IMAP Idle? Even with Gmail set up using IMAP, the emails don't come until refreshed or it checks for new mail, and there is no option for "as items arrive."
What's the deal with that? Very disappointing, unless I'm missing something.

Do you guys happen to know if this version still has the same issues as the version that's been floating around since the galaxy tab came out?
I've flashed it before, worked great, or so I thought, until without warning I stopped receiving e-mail pushes. Apparently its an issue specific to exchange (which I'm using) with specific e-mails that will lock it up and prevent any new e-mails from being pushed. If you delete said problematic e-mails, it will start syncing again, but I can't take that chance with work.
If any of you guys happen to use exchange with this new galaxy tab e-mail app and have reliable success with it I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise it's plain old regular email app for me

I would rename your current calender to .bak instead of .apk so you still have it. Then using root explorer move this apk to system/apps the long press it. Click change permissions and I believe they should be set to rw/r/r. Good luck!

It's pretty simple. However this process still did not work on my rooted SGSII. But for future reference of these types of system files here ya go.
- Use Root Explorer to place the file in the System/App folder in the directory
- If the new file is a different name then you can easily just place it in that folder ( of course you have to change Root Explorer to R/O mode instead of R/W mode ) - ( if its the same name then just rename the old file to something you can remember )
- Permissions for most apps would be RW, R, R. Just click on the file and select "Permissions". After you do that you do need to re-boot the device to save the settings.
Note: I did try this with this calendar and it did not work. We actually need a SSGSIII Calendar ported to work on an SGII. I am not smart enough to make that happen. Although I would like to be able to do such things someday. Hope this helps at least for future reference.
I'm pledging $10 towards the Dev who can get the S-Calendar ported yo the T-Mobile SGS-2. Maybe more if it is done by Monday. I know it's not a lot, but it's what I can give.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this seemed like the most relevant place to post.
I recently put CarbonROM on my phone and, after playing around with it for a bit, realize I absolutely hate the google calendar and just want my old calendar back. I downloaded the apk provided in this thread and attempted to install it but it says I already have the app. Sure enough, if I go to Settings > Apps, it shows up as Calendar Storage, but there is no icon anywhere, such as in my app drawer, that allows me to load the program. I even tried using QuickShortcutMaker, but it can't find the calendar anywhere in the list of apps to make a shortcut. Does anybody know what I can do?
Same situation here with carbon Rom.
Anyone know how to get it working?

I am not sure, but it would seem, S Planer doesn't work on any other ROM than the Samsung Official ROM.
I don't know why... I've testing a lot of possibilities (replace the original AOKP's apk by the Samsung's apk, do a wipe Dalvik, wipe cache, modify the permissions...), a lot of apk (recovered here, recovered on an original v4.1.2 samsung's ROM, recovered on the testing v4.2.2 Samsung ROM...), and it never work on my CyanoGen Mod 10.1...
It isn't an incompatibility with an other home than TouchWiz because I've never use this home with my previous Samsung's ROM and S Planer working correctly...
I will continue to looking to do working S Planer with an other ROM, but I have little hope... :crying:
Hi.

No no the update script i had automagically set permissions.
This was something far more stupid...
I forgot to flash the odex file with it :|
But something strange i've never seen before, when i loaded messaging after the flash it popped up with a very gingerbread looking box asking me to set a message limit for conversations hmmmmmm...
Anyways, here's hoping this works when the time comes to need it...
It's part of my android 4.4 still being usable plan due to a hatred of hangouts...either on my GN or if i get a nexus 5 (and assuming all leaks are true and messaging app is being ditched in favour of hangouts).
Annoyingly this flash didnt work on the other device i tried...i dont know if that's because i tried flashing it to a nexus 7 where it doesnt want to work or if i'm an idiot and i don't know what i'm doing. probably the latter...
*edit*
i dunno, i guess i'm just an idiot.
Anyways, deodex'd the Mms.apk with http://www.xda-developers.com/android/deodex-all-the-things-with-universal-deodexer/ after a quick google...
and that happily installs on the nexus 7...so yay. Guess i'll use that going forward (i did the deodex at default OS version and left compression level at 5 because i dont know any better).
But at least it works so when the world ends and google try to force hangouts on me even more i have a backup...
I take no credit for this, Just found threads in other furums and wanted to put them in ours forums.
Here is a thread for GoogleHome with the search bar fixed, kept FC for people. flash the (New)googlehomev2 then after you boot up install the PrebuilGmsCore.apk file.

Working on a installer that has all the new apps in it.
Here is a installer i put together with the Gapps, just flash and pick the ones you want, before you reboot you need to fix permissions. (aroma is a little touchy sorry, just hit the options to proceed a couple times then it will go)

Here is what the Readme file says from the link above:
By TweakerL
By no mean I take credit for any files in this package. All I have done is put everything in a single place and write these instructions.
Please read all these instructions before proceeding, failing to do so will most likely result in stupid questions, in which case I'll have to make fun of you.
1. Every app can be installed, i.e. you don't have to copy them to /system/app.
2. In order for Google Now/Google Seach to work properly you MUST copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so to /system/lib, replacing the original when asked.
3. In order for the Camera to work properly (namely the photosphere) you must copy libjni_filtershow_filters.so, libjni_mosaic.so and liblightcycle.so to /system/lib.
4. Some of the apps depend on Google Services 4 in order to work. Because of this I highly suggest that you install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk before installing any of the other apps.
5. You may not be able to install Maps.apk until you uninstall the one already present in your device.
6. Anything that requires adding/replace lib files requires that you be rooted. No way around it.
7. Before replacing/uninstalling anything that's already installed on your device, I suggest you perform a backup of the original in case anything should go wrong. You've been warned!
Thanks bro!! When I have some spare time I will check this out.

Yup. Same thing. I could set the knock code in the settings but after locking the phone, it takes me to the pin screen and as it doesn't accept my actual pin, i have to enter 5 wrong pins to get forgot pin button and enter my actual pin to unlock the phone. And yes slide aside works.

Are you saying that the screen can be awakened by knock? I thought that was a feature specific to Snapdragon 800 series devices and kernel related code was required to make it work.
No, it is purely an unlocking type - when you wake your phone a grid overlays that you tap based on the pattern you set up.

First i copied to system>app as suggested by op, then i copied all 3 to system>priv-app as suggested by another member. Stil aint working though.

Yes. I did it by accident, changed permission and rebooted phone. Changed lock screen settings to knock code.

I really like the SlideAside feature. It's almost like a multiwindow feature like on Samsung devices, but saves screen space.
I haven't tried the knock code feature, but I'm going to pass on that anyway. I just have no interest in any of LG's "Knock" features. I mean, I might learn to like them if I had native implementation of them on my phone, but I think that even if I had the G2, I'd probably disable the features (assuming the power button is eay to press I guess)
.
@JaySee5:
Did you modify the files in any way to make the SlideAside option appear in the Settings?
If not, I'm wondering if the Jelly Bean Aspect Ration Correction feature can be ported into KitKat and still appear in the settings list. It was just a system file from what I recall. I'd try it myself, but I lost all my Jelly Bean backups. They were all on my phone and when upgrading to Kitkat, the internal SD got wiped.
(I really need this aspect ratio option back. I rely on some old apps that dont display correctly on my phone now).
I didn't do anything. This is other peoples' work. I just made a thread for it so everyone can find it easily.
Does the knock to wake work?

I'm just throwing this here:
After having Slide Aside working flawlessly for a full day, the app and system began crashing after about a day.
Slide Aside would crash if you try to add more than 1 app.
Settings would crash whenever you accessed a system-made apps list (I don't know how else to explain this). The only way to fix this is to factory reset the phone.
An example would be Settings>Apps
In fact, I was able to repeat this crash every time by going to Settings>Apps then scrolling over to "All."
If I scrolled down the list at any speed, Settings would crash at the exact same point.
Another example would be the apps list in Titanium Backup, which is not system-made. This means that the problem does not occur in this app,
I'm not sure yet if this is actually caused by SlideAside or GravityBox. The latest version of GravityBox (which I'm using obviously), has a changelog entry stating, "Fixed severe bug in AppPicker affecting ring targets/quick app tile icons." This COULD be the culprit, but I'm not sure yet. I'm currently debugging the issue though. I just factory reset the phone and updated GravityBox and don't have SlideAside installed. Everything is working as expected ow, but I'm going to give it a couple days to see if the problem happens again. If not, then I'll install SlideAside and repeat.

Oh ok. Thanks.
I still wonder if the Aspect Ratio Correction file can simply be copied to the system and have its permissions set correctly- no editing of the file's programming. Then maybe the setting will appear... Hmmmmmm

Just an FYI: This feature needs a special kernel to support it. There were some Jelly Bean roms that included a modified kernel, but they were only working on the E988, from what I remember.
Even those kernels weren't perfect though. People reported high battery drain.
