The thread below has a list of stock APKs and I would like to get the stock email app (Samsung's version) to work in either AOKP or CM 10.1. I have tried to copy it to my system/app folder and applied permissions rw-r-r as specified but I've had no luck.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969991
The reason I want this is simple, I need to option to sort my emails by read/unread and to zoom out in portrait mode which is not available in the stock android email client in AOKP/CM.
This is a crucial feature for me. Also any help to get these features in the stock clients would be available.
*******
As a side note, the following alternatives are no good:
GMAIL app as I have 2 exchange accounts that I also use on a daily basis.
K9 doesn't support exchange 2010 so that is not an option.
Maildroid because it doesn't want to work with one of my exchange accounts (tried everything - no solution)
*********
PS:
I also tried posting directly in the thread in question but was blocked by the system (not "experienced" enough).
This is out of the question. The email app uses Samsung frameworks and drivers which do not work on aosp

so do you know of a way to get these features working on the aokp/cm email apps?
No idea other then building them into the source code and submitting it to the cm/aokp team. There are tuts around that may help you get started.

It seems like every ROM out there with Sense still has the HTC Mail app, which I absolutely hate (among other reasons (it is ugly and a pain to use), it can't handle multiple Exchange accounts).
There used to be a flashable .zip out there from Calkulin of the AOSP e-mail client, but if I recall correctly it quit working at some point along the way and started causing FCs.
Simply copying the AOSP client from non-Sense ROMs doesn't seem to work either.
I would make an installable/flashable version if I could, but at this point that's a little above my head...I'm not much of a java/dalvik person, so I am *really* confused by the android source tree and why I can't just type make in the email app directory and get it done.
Bit of a digression, but yeah, does anyone have the AOSP email client in an installable form that works on current FroYo ROMs?
P.S. Bonus if someone can remove the stupid 30 day max limit on Exchange mail in the AOSP client...I don't understand why they put that in there...
Is this what you're looking for?

Not exactly, I'm not having problems with the security policy (while the HTC client does enforce them, the AOSP e-mail client doesn't enforce the lockscreen one, which is all I would care about anyway).
The time limit for old messages is just the client, since the HTC one can display all old Exchange mail.
However, kudos as I did find an installable version of the AOSP mail client in a thread linked from that one (I've been looking for days!).
Link is here for those interested:

Cool. I think it's actually basically the same .apk, but from different developers. The one you used should disable the securty policy as well, but both are the AOSP email app, just with that modification.
So Xeno, did this work for you...I am in a very similar situation and would like to switch to the AOSP email.
Any issues?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the delay, yes this worked for me, but this was obviously waaay back. I think I've been running all AOSP ROMs since the Gingerbread ones became stable, so obviously the AOSP client works there, though it does enforce that damned policy. However, I ran the AOSP client I linked above with every 2.2 Sense ROM I had with no issues with either of the Exchange servers I use.
You just got me to thinking about security and the 2.3 AOSP client...not sure I know enough about where the hooks are to produce a similar client for Gingerbread, but I may look at that this week, because I'm tired of having to use the pass code, plus it often 'breaks' when I flash new kernels/etc, not letting me past the code input screen even when I use the correct code.
I got an issue with the Miui and my work exchange server:
THey have Exchange 2010 with force of device administrator policy, the issui is when i try to connect to the exchange i get an error that the device dont support the security policies... is anyone having the same issue and does anyone know how to fix this.... thanks in advance.
You might have to get an exchange email app like I did; miui nor cm7 support them properly. Exchange only works as I need it to on sense roms. Maybe there's a fix but I just purchased an app to eliminate all issues since I flash multiple roms. Try deleting the exchange account and going through set up again, this time if it completes check the notification bar to see if its asking you for permission. There's usually a button you have to accept for permission.
If you rather get an app look into touchdown, enhanced email, or moxier email.
I was thinking some can mod the email app so exchange will think its getting the permission.... tricking the exchange..... but i dont know if that is possible.
pretty sure there is another mail app you have to d/l... i dont think miui comes with the htc mail and you need to get that. at least that is what I had to do when I used miui back in the day. This question may be better answered in the miui thread though.

No not possible to my knowledge. You'll probably need to switch to a sense rom if you want "real" exchange support. As I stated earlier, using aosp/miui I could never get the features I wanted with exchange so I either run sense or use my app. Sense has more of the corporate features for exchange while aosp based roms don't seem to care about exchange support much IMO.
can someone help us ... make a custom emai.apk to work with exchange 2010 and there policies, or skipping them would even be better.

Not to bring your hopes down but this has been an issue for years with aosp (miui) man. Its always lacked corp email features. I don't think anyone is going to create an email app when you could simply run sense or spend 10-20 bucks on one from the market. (Which is much cheaper than paying someone to create an app)
So on my CM7 ROMs I had a modified email.apk which allowed me to circumvent exchange security policies when connecting to my corporate Exchange server. We require devices to be locked with a 4-digit PIN code, and I absolutely hate this. The new email app in ICS is 110% improved over the old one, but I would really love to be able to avoid having a PIN again. I know that Google has beefed up security (with encryption and whatnot) in the stock app, but I was wondering if someone could take a look at the new apks and see if they could be modified. I noticed that there is now EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk, so I'm not sure if the two work in tandem, or if the ExchangeGoogle.apk is used for EAS account or what, but I'll attach both for posterity.

There is already a thread on this. It links to a working modded file. Works great on 4.0.2
Oh, I looked around and didn't see it. I'll search again, but do you happen to have a link handy? Sorry for not doing enough due diligence!

Look for the post by Phyrefox on pg. 5. It's the email from 4.0.2 but it's working fine on 4.0.3 for me. I just renamed the original apk to .apk.bak and replaced it and set the permissions. After you set up your email account, restart your phone and it should stop bugging you about setting a security pin.
Thanks guys, I actually found the thread on my own, got it set up and everything is working fine (thank goodness). I originally only searched the GNex forums, which is why I didn't find this thread. Sorry about that!
Hi all,
I wanted to flash my phone with one of those two roms...but when I did so I realised that the AOSP email app would not be compatible with the security measures of my corporate email server.
Is it possible to have the HTC Sense email, but using one of those two amazing roms instead of an HTC ROM?
If possible, any step by step help would be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time guys.
You cant use HTC email, no.
What makes you think android client is no compliant?
Hi mate thanks for response. I get a message that my server requires security features that my phone doesn't support when I use the email app of miui or cyanogenmod. When I use HTC sense ROM with HTC email app the phone does support those security features..
I can use HTC mail with no probs with HTC ROM....cant use miui or cm mail app though....
Does it say what security features? Mine works with exchange+mobile iron and also BPOS.
Unfortunately that's all it says. It's basically a feature that asks you to insert another unlock password to your phone for safety, and if you insert the password wrong for like 10 times it remotely deletes the data on the device, or something like that.
I saw that other people would get the same error with these roms, but couldn't find a solution to the problem That's why I thought maybe by installing the HTC email app...though it will probably not work because of the different rom framework? Any ideas?
Like i said, you cannot use the HTC email app. If I knew more about your email system/server, maybe I could help... The basic android client, if added as exchange/BPOS and device admi has ability to wipe device, so not sure what system you are coming from as it should work.
Could try K9 mail on market? Or touchdown (pay)
Thanks again. Already tried and they dont work..only original sense mail
Then there is something dodgy about your email system. Speak to your Exchange administrator.
Several people have the same problem....but thanks anyway
So what? Several people also do not. I am an exchange administrator and I do not have any problem using the android email client. Like I said, speak to your exchange administrator to get it resolved. Thanks anyway

Unfort I dont have that option
Ill have to stick with the 2.3 sense ROM. The admin said to just use the ROM my phone ships with.
I believe it is some feature missing from the cm and miui anyway. Not a server issue.
If anyone has a solution to the problem please let me know.
Thanks again for your time.
Just found this:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20856-exchange-security-policies/
This is exactly the same problem. It's CM7/MIUI not supporting
I've used probably a dozen different ROMs at my current job w/out any problems from exchange. Up until last week, they only required SSL and to allow them to wipe the phone remotely. Last week the exchange admins enabled another security feature where we have to have a PIN set. CM7, MUIU, Synergy, etc. don't work. Only the OTA ROMs work! :crying: The email client is all I can tie it to since the other ROMs seem to use a different client where the domain is entered on a separate line than the userid.
I am pretty upset that I lost the speed and features of the other ROMs so I would appreciate it if someone could tell me a workaround of tell me of another ROM that uses the same mail client as the OTA ROMs.
Touchdown supports all mail policies and should work for you. This includes the PIN and remote wipe policies.

Touchdown isn't free. There should be a native workaround for this. I have had no problems with CM based roms until MIUI.
Hi folks,
I am looking for an hacked EMail APK against Exchange Policies.
I don't want to crypt my device or allow remote wipe. I have had one for Android 4.0, can someone provide me a EMail APK for Android 4.2.
Would donate, no problem, my problem is, I can't code.
I know, it against security to get a hacked EMail APK to come around this policies, but in my company only Androids are forced.
Those crappy IPHones? No!
Lumias? No!
Only the "bad" Droids.
this is the dev section not the themes and apps section

If you want to pay a developer just get yourself a licence for Moxier or Touchdown. Both apps keep the security restrictions only to itself thus you don't have to mess your whole phone or tablet.
Use this thread to patch for Exchange.apk. Was using it on JB 4.1 and also works on 4.2.

If you can use webmail to access your email use an app called 'outlook web mobile', works really well
