Simple exchange pin bypass (Caution!!!!) - LG G Flex

First understand if ur employer finds out you bypassed the required pin to unlock phone when u have an exchange account tied to your phone, there may be consequences!!!! You have been warned, and I am in no way responsible!!!
Anywho, its very simple, You must be rooted!! Then set up ur exchange account like normal, with a root file browser navigate to data/system/locksettings.db. Open it with a sqlite editor. When you open it go to locksettings, then change the lockscreen.password_type value to 0. Then save. Now you can into settings/lockscreen/select screen lock, and change it to what you like....

Hey there,
Got an LG L7 P714 with stock OS and with an exchange account set. Lock screen is set to have PIN of course. Following your directions, I have opened this db, but the password_type attribute already had the value of 0. Am I missing something here?
Cheers,
D.

Try one of the 4 exchange server bypass plugins in xposed framework.

Thanks, found the EnhancedEmail app, which gives me the functionality I need (and pin requirement is optional).
Cheers,

[q] how do i get network settings onto my phone ?

I've finally managed to unlock my phone but now i can't get 3's network settings sent to my phone, i have the settings to add them manually but i haven't a clue where to put them. HELP i really do need step by step button by button instructions. I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Thanks Helpers.
go to
settings
wireless...
mobile net...
APN
manually create one
just be sure, that you have chosen the APN after creation. Don't know why (if there's only one) but you have to tick the circle after creating the APN.
good catch
forgot to mention about that

3. Is there a way to change the font size? I would like it bigger.

1. Same problem here - no solution that I know of.
2. Edit custom signature, in the app, hit Menu> Settings
3. Not within the app, but you can change your Nook's overall LCD density,, which will make everything as big as you want it to be. See other xda threads on this.

How to set UserAgent on Gingerbread

For all who like the new smooth Gingerbread stock browser but would like to set the User Agent, here are the steps to do so:
1. Open your stock browser
2. Type about:debug in the address bar
3. Press the menu key and tap on Settings
4. The latest option (UAstring) allows you to change your User Agent
5. Disable the "Show Java console" option.
This option is ignored unless about:debug is enabled. So if you see you're getting redirected to the mobile versions of websites you'll just have to retype it again in the address bar.

The settings are not saved after killing the browser or reboot. The only way to make it permanent is to edit the browser apk.

On Gingerbread they are saved. I have reboteed 4 times since editing that option and it never reverted back to default.
No need to edit the apk, so

It doesnt save for me either.
Never has on any device i have used ua string on

If you look in the uastring field it wil show you "desktop" but if you try let say bbc.com the browser will redirect you to the mobile site.

I have this issue too. Even if I change it, it seems like it won't work unless I actually open up settings, and reselect Desktop (even if it is already selected), then reload the site.
It also does not persist through closing/reopening.

I tried this and it works!
Even tried opening bbc.com and it shows the full desktop view on mine.
Thanks!
I'm curious, are you guys using Gingerbread's stock browser now, but were using a different browser when you were in Froyo?
Ok, I got it. The browser does save the setting, but it ignores it unless debug mode is on: try rebooting, go to bbc.com and you'll get the mobile version; type about:debug and reload the page: Full desktop version! So as a temporary workaround it is enough to type about:debug when the browser is opened; I suggest also disabling "show java console" within the settings. In the meanwhile I'll edit the apk so that this option isn't ignored, shouldn't take long once I get to use a pc

Same here.
Does ediing the apk file help?
Anyone found a way to make this permanent yet??
Really love to use the stock browser if only i could have it load desktop uastring by default
Overcome RC1 keeps the UA setting

debug voices are:
show javascript console
single column rendering
use wide viewport
normal rendering
enable tracing
enable light touch
enable navigation cache dump
set JS flags
work like a charm.. thanks!

Camera Doesn't Open on Lock Screen

Hi,
For some reason, the camera app does not open on the lock screen anymore. Instead, it now prompts me to enter my password, after which it opens the app. How do I fix this problem?
Thank you!

The solution is remove your password. Then it will open the app directly.
This behavior is normal it SHOULD ask for a password before opening the camera app because if not anyone could look at my photos and use the phone.

Hi,
Thanks for the info!
Is there a reason why other android devices (ex. Nexus 5) allow access to the camera from the lock screen without having you enter the password? I remember that you could have access to the camera, even if you had enabled some kind of security lock.
Thank you so much!

Incorrect. Even with password the camera app should open with the twist/slide option but when you slide to open gallery then the password is asked, that's how is working.
How do I remove password protection when I want to start the camera from the lock screen?

About Google's 2-factor authentication.

I use Google's 2-factor authentication, and whenever I want to setup any Google related account on the phone, it prompts that it needs to open the in-browser to input the 6 digit code. However after inputting the code, the in-browser doesn't close automatically and it displays the Google secure configuration site. If I attempt to manually close the in-browser, the authentication process starts all over again.
Any solution to this, aside from disabling the 2-factor authentication?

This is Google's, not our rom.
Generate a app specific password, and use that.
