Has anyone actually tried copying out the dialer/phone app from an international ROM and putting it into a US ROM? I did a quick search of the dev and general Tab forums and haven't seen a mention of it.
Is the limitation for not making calls in the modem or kernel, or is it just the lack of the software?

I *think* it is just the lack of software.
Interesting. I may have to look into this, compare an international ROM to the stock AT&T one.
Are either of you actually reading these forums?
The AT&T Tab has already been hacked to make calls.
The TMo Tab can be made to make calls, but you'll lose 3G.

It's been tried. So has just flashing the modem. Neither worked.
Yeah I've seen those posts, I was just just wanting to see if there was any way to do it without having to flash another ROM onto my Tab. I'm guessing it's pretty deeply ingrained into the framework or something.
(Mainly wanted to ask because my quick search did not pull up results of retrofitting Phone capability into a "crippled" US ROM)
I dont know if this has been pointed out before but in my tmo tab when using root explorer and I look in system/app all the phone apps are already installed. They are just being blocked, is there a way to modify them to work?

The dialer is there and I think it is installed but is disabled somehow. Trying to bring it up just displays a message on the screen saying the dialer application is not supported on this device. I would be very interested in just modifying this ROM to re-enable that feature so flashing the EURO ROM isn't necessary. I am sure someone will figure it out before me but I am looking into it too. I am just so scared of doing stuff with this thing because for some reason it feels like uncharted territory and I am afraid of unknown consequences. Once the dialer is working a simple IMEI and serial number change will remove any restrictions on T-Mobile's end.

Simple IMEI change? Do you have the instructions?
Isn't that illegal to change imei?

Do you have an SPT box? You need the hardware this isn't a pure software solution.

And it isn't cheap so I haven't decided whether or not I want it that bad. But I have been reading their forums and this product can in fact change the IMEI and serial number. It has been tested as sucessful on just about every GSM model of the TAB there is.
I just realized this is all way off topic. The OP is talking about enabling the dialer software and not changing the IMEI. Lets continue this in another thread.
So, It's that time when my company renews my contract and it get a new phone. What I was thinking is that my kids are little angry bird, and fruit ninja freaks and how cool would it be if they could use my vibrant like a mini tablet. This would keep my gtablet and my new phone out of their hands.
Does anyone know if I could remove the phone and dialing apk from the phone without jacking the phone up. What would be real cool is if there was a rom that would turn my vibrant into a PMP. I also have a motorola Cliq if I could do the same with that I they wouldn't have to fight over it.
Anyone else toying with this thought?

just take the sim out and let them use wifi for the market.

don't think it has a call function AT ALL if sim is removed, just a notification thing on the notification bar telling you to put in your sim card.

Wow that's way to smart why did't i think of that, oh wait I did I'll be taking the sim card out to put in my new phone.
When the sim card is out it allows emergency dialing only.
I’m wanting to stop the emergency dialing and the sim card missing messages if possible. I'll have to give titanium backup a try and see what freezing the apps does. I’ll try it tomorrow UPS just dropped off my new G2X.
I don't want them to have a tablet either they really want an iPod touch but I'm kind of anti iPod. I’m also thinking the new Samsung galaxy s wifi is going to be out of my price range and the specs aren’t really comparable to the vibrant.

I don't know how to stop the notifications and most of the people replying here probably don't either, so i suggest you PM a Developer here that you know and ask them to build you a flash that will remove crap like that, or if their extra nice, they might make a rom just for you to use as everything but phone.

Thanks I'll try that! Maybe I'll post the same thing on the team whisky forum.
I found on another form where people are doing this same thing just with another phone. They have a script to remove some apk's might just removimg the same apk's with root explorer and see what happens.
Ive been asking for a rom like that forever in the g1 forums...long story short...removing phone and dialer causes a **** ton of fc's, and very hard to work around. Kernal needs to be built to not have any phone functions I think...also a custom radio(again...i think). Wish I knew how to build off of AOSP cuz im thinking that would be the easiest way..

It isn't compatible with gingerbread for reason's unkown.. is anyone using this version of android and have a program that is similar/compatible? Thanks in advance
ChompSMS, Handcent, GoSMS all have blacklisting for text. Not sure about calling.
Thanks, I know Chomp, Handcent etc.. are text apps though... I need something to block random #s from texting me... Kinda like when you're married but give your number to a girl, she calls you, you guys hook and she keeps bugging you type of blocking text

If you get the number they are calling you from you can file a formal complaint which will get the harassing companies fined for their actions. I once caused a 10,000 USD fine to fall upon Dish Network for their actions .

Try the app I mentioned. The reason is, it rejects calls and you can control how it proceeds. It can send the calls to VM or block completely.
And I have GV as well, that is the # I basically use for unwanted calls.
Blacklist by Ming software does both call and and blocking. Works great.

Sounds good. BTW, I called Sprint just to double check to see if they show any calls placed through my phone number or anything. The lady on the phone said it's possible but if someone did it wont post to my account for a few days, especially if they made any international calls.
I didn't figure there was anything scripted into the rom itself to do this, it's possible that it could be something rogue. It's also possible that someone with the skillz was just driving by and grabed my info from a wifi signal and texted me just to F with me.

This is the list as of the time I got the text. Sometimes I uninstall things like maps if I don't need it and what not.
And keep in mind, I'm not blaming anyone for what has or may happen. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. Just figured I'd see if this is just an odd ball spam from someone locally trying to troll me or what.
Wow that is odd as hell. I've been running and testing uke since before it was released and I've never had that pop up on me. Its def not something in the rom and I hope you guys find the app doing it. Good luck.

I think this is what's making me think it's just a fluke or a troll... I've been running these apps for a while now and haven't ever had a problem with them. I didn't even expect a comment from One_Love_420 either. VICODAN is the one that recommended the ROM to me so I wasn't going to just point the finger to the ROM anyways. I did have my Wifi running all night long (had the advanced setting setup to not put my wifi to sleep when my phone goes off). The only thing I haven't done yet is check to see what my logs say on my Linksys router (maybe he tapped my phone for internet).
I think it's just a fluke (or at least I hope... this could be an exspensive bill if this person was able to make calls from my phone or anything like that).

One thing does come to mind when looking at your app list. Go sms pro is a china developed app and has a ton of permissions that i would never approve of, one being the ability to make calls. Check its permissons list on the market. A little much for an app imho.

I haven't tried Miui yet. I started with CM7 and wanted to get into somthing light (meaning less sprint stuff and being able to uninstall maps and stuff since I only use them once in a great while). I know I got a lot of GO stuff on it but I've just been tinkering with it since the kernal is running a bit more then just the 800 mhz on the cpu. Wanted to "test" out what this thing is capable of.
The bling is nice, the personalization of colors and stuff is cool and all... But I use this for business a lot and kinda like a rock solid machine that's as efficient as possible. I'm looking into other options of roms that are just plane Jane Android next. U.K.E. has been running nicely even with all the bling (minus go sms now I guess). Depending on how put off I am about no bling I might just go back to using U.K.E.

You should always check permissions of apps even from the market..Google doesn't keep track of apps published on the market and if they are malicious or not. It's up to users to report if something funky is happening. That's why I un-installed GoSms a long time ago when they first added all of those strange permissions to the updated versions. It was even causing people to have issues with phone calls. Read through market comments and check permissions Always with any app even if it's just a update to a new version. The devs of GoSms are very un-responsive also when people ask them about the permissions and report issues. If you really want to get down to the bottom of something also run a logcat and see what the app is doing.

It's definately not a rom related issue. Download Addons Detector from the market. This will help you to track down suspicious apps intalled on your device.
So I got rid of all of the GO products and I'm just running the AWD stuff that came with the rom. Only thing I realy miss is the SMS stuff. I looked at handsent and their permissions are the same (for the most part) as go sms.
Any thoughts on an sms program? I'm looking for character count and more info like sent date/time displayed without going into message details.

Is this a question or a rant? Don't know why you would want to add contacts to sim card. You can store much more information through Google sync, and you don't risk losing all your contacts if the sim card goes bad. Its nice when I get a new android phone it syncs all of the contacts immediately and I don't have to do anything.

good for you, not for me. just cause you like something and it's preference don't mean that someone else will like it. i thought people would learn this by now. it's annoying that every topic there's a smartass pushing their own preferences on other people. just cause you like lady gaga don't mean i do. i don't care bout storing "much more information" i just want to store simple numbers and a contact name. i like being able to take my sim card and use it with most phone and have all my contacts there, without having to go through stupid process.
"and what if the sim card goes bad?"
1) very very rare occasion
2) that's why the information is on the phone too smartass
i don't want google storing my numbers, i don't want to have to sync to add simple numbers to a sim card. i don't want to add my personal numbers/contacts on the cloud. is that too much for you to understand?
anyway, there is a third party app that does this, thanks alot google! fail design.
also there's no "vibrate then ring option", are you damn serious? are you going to tell me that "vibrate then ring" is "old technology too"....don't be a dumbass.

A lot of topics are plain annoying because there's a dumb ass keep asking questions that are either plain simple or has been asked many times. Funny thing is, those dumb asses don't usually learn anything.

The point of an operating system, especially an open operating system, is that it's expected to have just the core functions to run, and people can easily add whatever they want.

good for you, not for me. just cause you like something and it's preference don't mean that someone else will like it. i thought people would learn this by now. it's annoying that every topic there's a smartass pushing their own preferences on other people. just cause you like lady gaga don't mean i do. i don't care bout storing "much more information" i just want to store simple numbers and a contact name. i like being able to take my sim card and use it with most phone and have all my contacts there, without having to go through stupid process.
"and what if the sim card goes bad?"
1) very very rare occasion
2) that's why the information is on the phone too smartass

Holy crap get a new phone!
Sure all these features are my preferences, but Google puts these things in place for convenience for most users. I didn't mean to come off an ass, but this is just the way that technology is going. Sim cards rarely go out, you are correct, but recently I had one go out on an old phone and so did my wife. Plus not every phone uses a Sim card, so for those individuals who decide to use Verizon or sprint, or some other CDMA service, the option of importing/exporting contacts to/from Sim card isn't available.

not everyone is programmer who can add functions to an OS. not every programmer is going to waste time programming functions that should have been included as a basic feature that is included in most phones. you see the point? google only implemented this so they have can more people using their services = more $$. that's all. they could have easily added this. this is amongst the least of simple functions they failed to included but it's the basic of most other smartphones OS.
anway, your consensus is equivalent to nothing in the real world since you're nobody. . i didn't know this forum had so many trolls, worse than youtube. anyway, have fun acting like a smartass and putting people down on forums LOL. it says alot about your personality in real life.
can't argue with a dumbass and can't ever win an argument on the internet, thus i won't even try. have a great day sir. have fun flaming me for making an honest post. trolls will troll...

This will do vibrate then ring for you. I tested it and seems to work fine.
Call me old-fashioned but for me Android is an OS for tech enthusiasts who delight in tinkering with their devices to do things that the manufacturers didn't implement rather than people who must complain at every opportunity because what they wanted wasn't served up on a silver plate. If you want an OS that babies to your every need them maybe Android is really not for you.

simple functions like a volume control in the music player and add sim to contact, both of which are ubiquitous their music players and phones, respectively, is "babying"???? simple functions like that should the basic. if they can't even add those, that says alot of their design when you have to rely on third party apps to get it done. as for the ring and vibrate. anyway, i downloaded audacity and i edited the ringtone to have a delay in the intro. no need for more battery draining third party apps. i have to waste time to even get a simple function like that. Yes android is about people tinkering with the OS and having fun with it, NOT about people have to waste time to get simple functions to work.
anyway, i'm done with this thread. delete it if you wish.
Simple functions but not ones most people actually use. Google didn't implement them because they are not popular features but the OS is flexible enough that people can actually make them work if they want. If that's too much work for you then, well, good luck.

if your worried about your information being in the cloud then you should be using a dumb phone.
All smart phones will import and use google contacts. It works great and I never loose them. You can look them up via your email if someone steals your phone.
BTW> THIS IS THE WRONG PHONE FOR YOU.
You do realize you can just turn off contact sync in Google, under the Accounts in Settings, right? I hate to break it to you, but I don't think Android is for you.

Tried and Tested Method Save New contacts to SIM / RUIM card
Well friends, there is a need to put some private entries on SIM. Let me explain.
My wife and me are both professionals working with the same set of professional contacts. Hence I use My Phone Explorer to sync our Phonebook, Notes, Tasks and Calender to be identical and concurrent.
To keep my personal contacts / friends (and hers for that matter) out of the Sync list we would prefer to leave them on my SIM and her RUIM (CDMA) card.
Here is how you do it.
Open "People".
Select "Menu" and then "View"
Keep only "Sim" ticked and untick everything else.
Go back to "People" and you shall only see SIM contacts.
Select Add and fill in the details and you are done.
This is how I do it for my old HTC Salsa Android 2.3.1 and Galaxy Y CDMA. (Menus differ slightly between manufacturers)
Others may need a slightly different method
