I have a question, my client is doing a promotion and giving out 100 Chromecast devices to their employees, they want to have a custom logoed wallpaper uploaded to each device (same design), I am trying to find out if this is possible? I was thinking that each device needs to be registered first with a Google + account for each recipient and therefore it's not possible to upload the wallpaper prior to Chromecast registration? Please let me know
I already have the instructions on how to make custom wallpaper:

I would like to ask to community to help out in a request to a developer.
Some of you many not know that the 3d Gallery app on our phones is NOT present in all 2.1+ android devices. While the Gallery itself maybe present access to Picasa is missing in some Sense based roms.
There is a fix for this being developed and is available in the market under the name, 3D Gallery. Here is where I would like you help.
At present the dev is doing nothing more then trying to make a clone of the gallery. He has just added Picasa access, but you will need to give the app your log-in details. This is not something that many users are willing to do as Picasa generally speaking is tied to the users main account.
What I would like to see is the dev give access to Picasa public galleries through username alone along with the ability for full access if both user and pass are given. Granted you will not be able to upload if user and pass are not given, but thats not really a big deal.
I think the one thing Google overlooked with the 3d Gallery was the ability to view albums you mark as favorites in your account. This app has the ability to give us this function, we just need to let the dev know that we want it.
This would be the PERFECT way to share wallpaper with each other, without the need to actually take up any storage on the phone itself.
I know Im not the only one that wants this, so please help out.
Send a copy of the following petition to the devs email address.
Email: support at flikie dot com
Copy petition below
I fully support the petition to add access to selected Picasa public albums inside of your 3D Gallery app. Access to said galleries should be entered through username alone and/or full web address.
Adding the ability to view public galleries gives us the perfect method to share wallpaper in a way that does not require using the phones storage.
Thank you for considering our request.

Hi,
Just wondering, I want to bypass the exchange policy (annoying pin lock), so thinking of using those modified AOSP email.apks.
However I would like to retain use of the original email client provided by Samsung.
Anyway to say setup and sync with the modified email.apks but then use Samsung's read/compose ? Do they share same database?
Ideally of course would be a modified Samsung email.apk.
Cheers

My initial response was: no. But thinking about it, there is a chance this actually might work. AFAIK, the way that the modified email apks work is that the creation of a "security device admin" is surpessed when defining an exchange account (don't know the exact name in english, but it's a device wide pin lock because you have to enter it every time you wake your phone from sleep). But apart from that a modified email apk creates accounts & databases exactly the same way as the original. One question remains open, and that is that an original email app might check for a policy also every time the account is actually used.
Also, a problem with the modified email apks is that they want to replace the existing email system app. If there is a way to keep the exisiting email app in place, and install a modified second one to just create the exchange accounts, this might work. I have been installing system apps manually through Root Explorer before, surpressing replacements, i will try tonight with email apps
Thanks. For your feedback. It is not exactly clear how the modified apks work. I would think that it would be easier to 'inform' that the policy is applied but does nothing to trigger the pin lock setting.
In this case it may work. Also head that Autostarts can disable this device administrator on some phones but sadly the 1.6.1 version on mine doesn't. It says do not have sufficient permission although already given rooted permission.
Appreciate if you could let me know how did your tests go.
Cheers
I have a Korean HTC Desire HD that I rooted and installed the Ice Cold Sandwich rom on.
I currently live in Japan and am on the Softbank network. The biggest problem is that I can't send images through email to other mobile users because of a 1mb limit.
I have been trying to find an email app that will compress images before sending while keeping the original intact.
The closest that I have found is this: AndroMail (sorry can't post links since I'm a noob)
The problem is that I can't get it to connect to my gMail account. I sent the developer a message but he hasn't replied.
I've also read that the Galaxy S3 has this feature by default.
Is it possible to install the S3 mail apk on the DHD (and if so, does anyone know where I can get it?), or are there other options?
By the way, I do understand that there are apps that I can use to compress images.
What I am hoping to find is an email app that is able to do the compression before sending.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that I'm lazy
Okay, so I found the S3 rom. I'm going to try to extract the mail app and install it on my phone.
I still haven't found any other mail apps that include image compression as a feature.
Also, from what I can tell, the AndroMail app servers are not working. There is a gateway option in the setting. By default, it has different servers listed. I can change them, but I have no idea what I would need to change them to. Anyone else use this app?
Okay, so I successfully extracted the S3 secMail apk and odex files from the rom using the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667081
Then I attempted to deodex the files using the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053227
I couldn't deodex. I got no output files. I checked to make sure Java was installed (I knew it was, since I sometimes try to do some basic programming with the Android SDK).
So, since I couldn't deodex, I figured, why not? I tried to install the S3 secMail app anyway. As I expected, it didn't work.
Is there no mail app that has this functionality? I guess I incorrectly assumed that this was basic feature.
Okay, after four days of trying, I'm about ready to give up.
I have tried side loading different SecMail apps, but I'm assuming it's locked to Samsung devices only.
I have also scoured the internet and both Google and Amazon markets, and nothing.
I have just about given up. One last time, is there anyone that knows of any mail apps that offer image compression, or is it possible to port SecEmail (the only mail app I know of that does offer image compression) to the DHD
