Is there an email patch or apk that will bypass the exchange requirement for administrator access? I found two xpoaed modules but neither worked on the moto x.
Anyone using a workaround on 4.4.4?
Been long working on this one (annoying company policies). For me best solution is Mailwise, bypass is fine, syncs my work agenda also w/o any problems.

I had been using it since release day without any security necessary. Now all of a sudden, I got the popup and can't access anything new without giving administrator access. Wonder if my work changed something or my app changed.

I haven't seen any changes with security bypass -so I guess it is Your company that has changed something.. Have you tried to re-install security bypass?

Hello,
i am running Froyo on my nexus one.
When configuring a new Exchange support, i get:
""SETUP COULD NOT FINISH.
This server requires security features your phone does not support""
Touchdown is working fine and reports the following securities features:
Allow simple password
Password/PIN required
Failed attempts 10
Min length 5
Min Complex 3
Timeout 1800 sec.
Password recovery
So the question are:
1) Which of this securities is not yet implemented natively in froyo?
2) Will it make it in the final froyo release?
If any of you has some inputs, it would be nice to share.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry I cannot help with your problem other than to say that I have exactly the same issue. I am really shocked that Google have not got this fully working. We are hardly talking about a new protocol here!
Whilst I have Touchdown and have done since moving to Android last year, this single problem has stopped my company giving everyone Android phones. Come on Google, get it sorted!
Maybe because the foryo we got is not final? Ever thought of a unfinisched product that you use, is not finisched?

I think the point is that proper exchange support should really have been there from day one.
You just don't build a serious, high end smart phone with out proper integration to corporate mail (read exchange ).
Unless you're Google apparently.

Well, I work and live in the corporate world and use my phone as such a device. I guess I sort of agree with you there about the exchange support, I can't really legitimize why they didn't incorporate this almost-brainless sync method.
Does the security policy of your works exchange server require to have a screen lock pin, specifically mobile device security policies? I noticed, after wiping from Froyo(with screen lock pin prior to EX acct) to CM and then back to Froyo(no screen lock when configuring), that I received an error that setup could not finish, I assume this is because without having a screen lock policy set up on the phone the exchange server will not authenticate to my device. Check that out. Also, this is not a finalized product.
Mine works fine...and I manage the Exchange system here...no problems.
My biggest issue is that Google has provided half-ass support for Exchange, and this version is no different.
You can't even move an item to another folder from the inbox with the stock Froyo.
The Desire Rom has the functionality and ability, best interface and options compared to the stock Android.
The stock Rom sucks honestly...if it weren't for Desire...I would still have my iPhone, even they figured out, licensed and got working properly the Exchange support 18 months ago. Windows mobile devices have had this for 3-4yrs.
My first post! May as well make it contributory.
It is interested to note that one may need a PIN lock set up first *before* adding an exchange account that requires one... I know I haven't been able to get our 2.2 Nexus One's to connect to our corporate Exchange Server for my girlfriend and I.
Let me go change to a PIN lock and see what happens when I try to add the exchange account...
Yep, no go still. "Unable to open connection to server."
They really need to add a Verbose button to these error messages.
still not working
Hello,
I tried setting up a PIN code before starting up the email application.
Does someone knows where to find the email app log file to see what is not good?
Thanks in advance!

To be honest, I tried using touchdown (which as great as it is, still lacks a lot of features), then tried using the Froyo Email/Calendar apps... Nothing has ever worked smoothly with Exchange + Android. I ended up migrating my email server (luckly it is only a personal email server) to Google Apps, and I have never been so happy with the performance and stability.
It is a tough cookie to swallow, but gmail is much better then Exchange on Android...
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
Hey all. I tried syncing my university outlook account to my phone and the server requested literally FULL CONTROL over the device. I'm talking everything from camera functions to having the ability to erase my phones data.
Naturally, this poses as somewhat of a threat to me but I really need that account on my device. Does anyone know how to revoke the outlook server's administrative rights, perhaps via app ops?
QUICK UPDATE: it's asking me to encrypt my phone or else the native email app which I synced it to will not run. Can anyone stop this as well?

these policies are set by the university exchange administrators and can be over-wrote by mods (However, i highly recomend against it, some mods just aren't worth the security holes they create) I know it sounds like big brother taking over but it is the responsibility of the exchange admin to maintain security control over the exchange environment. if you were to remove the security and something detrimental happened i.e. the U got hacked and it was traced back to your account well the results would be not in your favor.
that being said the control and requirements are granular to an extent your exchange admin should remove the ability to control any aspect of your device except the specific email account you are reffering to.

But would you say it is worth encrypting the device? Way I see it, there isn't too big of a difference between a pass code and encryption except for the fact that you can't undo the latter without a factory reset. Is there a way to at least bypass that or do you recommend going through with the device encryption anyway?

are they requiring device encryption or email encryption? the law firm where i work requires that all email on the device be encrypted but do not enforce device encryption.
My personal opinion is im fine with the email encryption but when they tell me my whole device requires it thats where they cross the line, access to my email is not that crucial that im willing to encrypt my whole device.
ultimately the decision is yours.
Like the title says...
Since we don't have xposed for 5.1 yet does anyone know how to bypass exchange security for 5.1? And no I don't want to use a third party email client. Exchange security bypass is what I'm looking for.
While not exactly what you are looking for; if you use the 3rd party app Nine for your exchange account it can apply the security requirements at the app level rather than system. That way you only need to enter a pin when you open your work email instead of every time you wake the phone.

Thanks but like I said I don't want a third party app. I know of those options already. Looking for a mod on exchange security without xposed
Check out this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749921
Without exposed the exchange apk will need to be directly modified/replaced. Near the end of that thread were some links for lolipop. What you're looking for isn't N6 specific so you'll probably have better luck in the larger thread.

Team-
Is anyone aware of how to bypass the pushed pin policies from exchange on Marshmallow? There was an Xposed module that accomplished that on Lollipop, but I'm wondering if some of the APKs could be modified to do the same thing. I'm not a developer but I'm willing to help a developer if they would like to take a look at it. Thanks.
Another option is the email app Nine. It allows you to isolate the pin to just the app.
Probably you are aware of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749921 - let's hope it will be ported to Marshmallow.
There's got to be a way. I can't stand having to have a PIN on my phone, and Nine doesnt support anything but exchange, so that's a no go. I actually use CloudMagic for email, but I need my exchange account on my phone for calendar and contacts.
now why would there bean easy way around the security? its security, if there was an easy way around, what would be the point to the security??? lol..
MailWise
I use the MailWise app on my phone. You can bypass the exchange security when setting up your account using code 27182.
Since I dont have enough posts, you'll just have to google it, but just search for MailWise Exchange Bypass Code and they have a FAQ on it.
I use the cm12 nopin zip for lollipop with no issues. Just need to be rooted.

Can you post the link? Also, what ROM are you on? I'm on pure nexus and use the stock exchange apk. The only cm12 bypass I could find was for boxer.
Bypass code worked for me thanks a bunch!!
I feel it is my duty to advise you guys that if you are caught getting around this you can be terminated from your job.
With that out of the way glad you found something that works.
I just port the lollipop one to marshmallow
