Remove Exchange Security pin? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey for those of us who have a Microsoft Exchange email account that requires a pin to access our phone, is there any way around this? Please save me the warnings on how this could get me fired. I just want to know if its possible to remove the exchange pin requirement without taking the account off of my nexus?

Definitely possible. What ROM/version are you running?

I'd like to know as well.
Modaco iR8, GSM.

These are flashable through CWM. Make sure to do a nandroid first just in case. They have worked on every ROM that I've tried so far. Also, I'd suggest removing the Exchange account, switch the unlock method back to something other than pin, wipe cache/dalvik (might not need to but I always do), flash the zip, reboot, then re-add the account.
edit: should work on deodexed ROMs

I think that I used the 4.0.2 on stock LTE. Is the email app on your phone named EmailGoogle.apk in /system/app or is it just Email.apk? You could always try it and if it doesn't work restore and send me your apk and I can mod it.

Ok i got it working but It still requires me to add a PIN if i select cancel it takes me back to add account.
I'm running a VZN LTE with 4.0.2 just rooted no custom roms or nothing

Alternatively, use Enhanced Email. Works perfectly here..

Hmmmm. did you remove everything first? can you look in /system/app and see if you have an Email.apk and an EmailGoogle.apk? if you want to send me your original apk I can edit it.

sounds good. send me a PM and I'll edit it and send it back so that you can flash it. you shouldn't have to enter a pin if it worked. you can leave it on slide and view notifications from the lockscreen.
edit: sorry it might not work on yours since your not running a deodexed ROM

yeah it didn't work for me on gummy 4.0.3 either. when i went to re-add the exchange account it wouldn't pop up the wizard to fill in my info.

Ok, I looked at his ROM and it looks like he uses /system/app/Email.apk instead of /system/app/EmailGoogle.apk. Try this attachment. If you didn't revert back to your nandroid you might want to delete the /system/app/EmailGoogle.apk

Is there anyway to delet the main gmail related to apps?

I was setting up my wifes phone and I signed my email up first to get some tools to tweak her phone. Well now her phone is setup and her email is setup. I went to sync options to delet my email from there and its saying I need to restart the phone, some applications need that email to work? Is there a work around for this so I can remove that account.
I stoped syncing for that account for now, but now she cant sync here google callander instead it will only allow the option to sync mine. I dont want her events showing up on my phone and I am sure she dont want mine showing up on her phone lol. Basicly I am the main email on her phone and I dont want it that way. Any ideas would be great thanks.
Thanks, Thomas
I believe the only way to delete it without resetting is to delete the /data/system/accounts.db
Keep in mind this will delete all the accounts from accounts & sync, and always nandroid backup first.

If I do this will I need to reinstall that file again? Or will I just simply need to re assign a new email account?

Wiping data and cache will bring the phone back to the first time after you installed the last rom. Like the first time you booted it.
Male sure to sign her up for a Gmail account.

Force Close while on multiple calls (com.android.phone)

Wondering if anyone else is having FCs on com.android.phone
Get it all the time when I'm on a active call > get a 2nd call and answer > select option to put original caller on hold. I'm able to finish up on the 2nd call but cannot get back to the 1st call.
I'm rooted on latest CWM. No custom ROM.
Using V6 SuperCharger and dsexton tweaks.
I've cleared both caches and fixed permissions - no luck
I tested and got the same issue......rooted with CWM. Has anyone else tried this.
And those calls does not show up in call logs as well.

Can anyone with stock ROM check and see if the issue is with Stock as well?
I read somewhere where someone was getting similar error....on google forum it said that it has something to relate to SIM Toolkit.....Do you still have that in your phone as i un-installed it.
i also have this issue... very annoying and inconvenient
Found it. ****in annoying and just plain stupid.
T-Mobile Name ID has to be enabled. I froze it in TB. Unfroze, restart and tested. Works like a charm.

make sure you have the setting enabled for installing from unknown sources.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> check Unknown Sources.
Hope this helps.

it shouldn't need to. as long as it's installed you shouldn't have the problem.

need help restoring stock browser

hello
first of all I did search, but couldn't find anything that would help, sorry if I didn't search well enough
for the past few days, everytime I turned my phone off or it died on me, after turning it back on, the browser would disappear. id click on a saved bookmark on my homescreen and it would say "application not installed". usually I just go to my titanium backup and restore it. but today I went to restore it, and it wont restore. the TB app just stays stuck saying "restoring app+data". I tried changing the app processing preference, but still the same. TB had also been doing this with the google play store(not the new 4, haven't gotten that yet), but usually if I just turned the phone off even while it was still stuck on restoring, when back on the play store would now be installed. Not so with the browser
is there any way I can get this to work? and if not, can someone please help me get the latest stock browser apk for the gnex gsm? I think its version 4.2.2-573038
Thanks!!
btw, im on rooted 4.2.2 but no custom roms, just "stock" root

a little bit of both lol. Really though I did search, primarily for a solution to the TB problem not so much the apk.
Thanks for the link though!
Do you know why TB might be doing this though?
As for Chrome, in my experience its complete crap compared to the stock browser. if at least they had transferred over the quick buttons it'd be better, but they didn't even do that
EDIT: ok that didn't work. after clicking install says app not installed
I understand, I don't like Chrome either xP
Hopefully that works.

Take that apk, put it in system/app/, change permissions to match all the others in there and reboot. Delete the original one in that folder first if you like, otherwise, just overwrite it. I use root explorer to do this sort of stuff but I'm sure others can do it too.

oh wait, nevermind I guess its the same one you guys posted. well this sucks even more now cause as already mentioned that's not working either. I don't know what else to try
I have no idea then. Thats usually how you install system apps. So I guess search around for other browser apks and try them the same way. I dont know why that wouldnt work.

Wiped phone along with backup

I was flashing a new ROM to my Sprint S3 when I accidentally wiped internal storage (where I had my backup and my CM). Now I have no OS and no recovery files on my phone. I backed everything up on TiBu and moved the files to my laptop just in case, but I cant figure out how to access them from TWRP. Any ideas? Im trying not to panick because I know you guys can fix pretty much anything, but I need my phone for work in the morning. Thanks in advance.

You need to go into advanced settings in TWRP and sideload a rom, or if you have a sdcard reader put it in your pc and load a rom onto it.
Thank you!

Honestly, it all depends on your personal phone. My friends seem to work better with a 3rd party kernel while mine only works well with the stock CM one or Touchwiz one.

Did you try going into settings, then adding facebook as an account? I always use google to auto sync contacts it makes things easier.

I did. I have rebooted and resynced, still nothing. It even has a little check mark next to it, so it thinks its synced. Could it have something to do with my fb security settings?

Sorry for the tidal wave of questions. You guys (and gals?) have been really great!
