Hey guys,
After noticing people complaining about Microsoft Exchange on their Dell Venue tablets with Android 4.3, I took a quick look and I can confirm that Microsoft Exchange is broken for the Dell Venue 7/8 with the Android 4.3 update.
Unfortunately, in order to fix this, we MUST gain root and overwrite the APKs with the ones from AOSP. The ones I attached are the stock Email and Exchange APKs from the Android 4.4.2 factory images (from 4.4 but they do work on Android 4.1+). Only thing I've done with the APKs are to deodex them, other than that they're vanilla.
Once we gained root, copy and replace the APKs to /system/app and set the permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--). Then reboot.
Here's why Exchange doesn't work, as you can see, even though the APKs have been installed, they're blank or the permissions were not set properly and the system can't read the APK. What's weird is that it doesn't trigger any FCs.
Unfortunately, until we gain root or until Dell pushes a fix to this, we're left in the cold. For now as a workaround, if your company/organization's servers support IMAP, use that until a fix or a root method has been published.
Cheers,
