[DEV][20.11.2011] Android Gingerbread SIP over 3g for (probably) every GB based rom

Here is a bit of why I wrote this manual:
Back at December 2010 Paul from modaco found how to enable sip over 3g for the gingerbread native client, his original thread is here:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/327770-using-gingerbread-internet-calling-sip-without-wifi/
For chefs it is probably straight forward how to use this tip, but for me I always begged for cookers to include this in their roms usually they didn't even replay to my request, so I investigated this, and here is very easy way to enable this feature.
This guide assumes you are a little familiar with changing files on your ROM.
*I take no responsibility for this guide, use it at your own risk
So, what we are doing is modifying the framework-res.apk from from our framework directory.
We need:
apktools from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Two files are needed, this: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool1.4.1.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
And this: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
(You can also do this for Linux and Mac, this guide will use windows)
Take the framework-res.apk from your ROMS zip file inside /system/framework directory.
How its done:
Extract both files that you downloaded to c:\apktools (can be any dir...)
You should have 3 files.
Copy the framework-res.apk to the same directory: c:\apktools
start --> run --> cmd
c:
cd \apktools
apktools d framework-res.apk temp
Now a folder named temp will appear named temp
inside temp, edit the file: C:\apktools\temp\res\values\bools.xml
I use notepad++, search for a line:
<bool name="config_sip_wifi_only">true</bool>th
change in the line the "true" into "false"
save the file.
go back to cmd
c:
cd \apktools
apktools b temp temp.apk
Now rename your original framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.zip
open it with winrar/winzip/7zip it will open like regular archive.
take the file that was created by the build process:
C:\apktools\temp\build\apk\resources.arsc
Use this file to replace the file inside the archive of framerwork-res.apk.zip (overwriting the original, inside the zip)
rename the file back to framework-res.apk
And now you have a sip over 3g enabled framework-res.apk.
There are few options to push this file, easiest is just replace it in your ROM zip and flush the ROM, you need to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
There are other ways to push this to your rom but I won't discuss them here.
I used this on stock roms, AOSP roms, MIUI roms and Sense roms, worked for me on all, if you find a roms it doesn't work on please report.
Thats it, its actually quite easy.

You are Awesome! Thank you for posting this. I just setup my phone with this and it works great.

Great Process, a few little remarks
Shalom,
This is a great process tutorial and within 15 minutes I flashed my HTC Sensation to support Internet calls on 3G/4G, while before it was WiFi ONLY.
So now, no need to have any cellular minutes purchased, have DATA have LIFE.
Remarks:
1. Have only 2 files. You mentioned 1 download and then 2 more. The 1st is duplicated withing the 2.
2. The BAT file is apktool.bat and not apktools.bat.
Other then that, SWEEET.
Toda Raba.
Easy

Thanks.

HI
tryed not working stoped at temp file cretion is showing an eror cant go further plz help

Does this change your phone to use 3g to make calls? If so that is excellent.
Sent from my Sabotaged Droid Incredible 2.

Thanks, but why don't we use SIP third-party such as Sipdroid, 3CXPhone...? I think they are easy to use.

Nice work , What about Xperia Lines, will there appear 3G video calling button ?

I tried on Wet Dreams 1.3.0 for Atrig 4G and didn't works (Didn't show SIP Calling option)... maybe my mistake or isn't working with Moto's 2.3.6 build. But I asked to be added by the chef! Thanks for this tip!

If SIP options are not present in your Settings.APK it may have been disabled by the carrier.
The solution is to place the proper permissions file into /system/etc/permissions/ which will enable SIP overall on your device, then of course to this fix as well.
Solution found in various other places, just thought I'd add it to this thread since the thread is linked from the homepage.

Nice, surprisingly easy, almost to much so lol

Thanx.
But it didnt work for me, and still not seeing sip settings.
I plased the attached file in system/etc/permissions, rebooted.
Also tried to fix permissions, and still didnt work.

Then the options probably just aren't there in your carrier's Rom. They were present in my LG Rom, after I pushed the permissions file. However, when I tried to use SIP, it would force close as soon as the call connected... something else missing.
In my case and yours, the answer is to use SipDroid from the market.

Pls any guide on how to do this in ICC ROMs

[Q] How to port networkmode menu from S6102_DDMF4 to S6102JPMA3

i want to copy settings menu from S6102_DDMF4_ODDMF4_DDMF4 to my native firmware S6102JPMA3_S6102OJPMA3_PAK which don't have 3G menu options (network mode).I have flashed both firmwares one by one, then copied setting.apk and settting provider.apk from S6102_DDMF4_ODDMF4_DDMF4 to S6102JPMA3_S6102OJPMA3_PAK at same place with same permission but settting s don't appeared and on data wipe i faced boot loops. Is there is any specific way to copy or some more files are needed. The reason why I dont wanna use S6102_DDMF4_ODDMF4_DDMF4 is that it sends sms to 919560345888 secretly and have cost me 45 buks so far. Plz someone guide me how to import 3g menu (picture is added) feature from infected firmware to my native firmware .. Please guys reply I am loosing my balance because of one feature Thanks in advance​ :crying:

I Can Understand Your Problem Buddy
Yes I Also Wished To Have 3G Menu In My Settings.apk
If You are trying it in your odex Rom then follow those steps ...But first take backup by any means
Use Titanium backup
Extract Settings.apk From any deodexed Rom which have 3G menu..and extract Settings.zip Which I provided below
Put Extracted Settings.apk to
system/app/***
Zip The Folder And Flash It..
hope so it works ..
BACKUP
Make backup with titanium backup
or
copy Settings.apk & Settings.odex files from system/app From your current Rom ...copy it to the extracted folder of settings.zip Which i provided below.. to system/app/***
zip it and Flash

To my badluck it did not worked instead setting disappeared. I restored my cell from nandroid backup. I also tried to play trick using titanium back up. Installed rom with network mode option make a back up of settings and then flashed second rom Uninstalled settings from there , rebooted , and then restored the settings of first rom ,, Astonishing is that the settings returned but no network mode. I than mix flashed PDA+Modem from MA3 firmware and added CSC from DDMF4 Firmware (Which has network mode option). The child rom retained the network mode chracteristics. I learnt from all this that settings.apk have nothing to do with network mode but something , a piece of code that is in CSC part of firmware actually commands for Network mode and That CSC also have code that sends sms Secretely to 919560345888 and cost me bucks. So no gain yet still looking forward

[Quick Guide] - Enabling Hidden Features

Just wanted to share a few CSC features that are tested to work on the S6/S6 edge.
This is not my work, just sharing.
To enable these you will need root, a root explorer and text editor.
Simply navigate to system/csc/Features.xml and add the corresponding line to the end of the file but before the very last few lines that say </feature> and </Samsung>
(if this file does not exist, create the csc folder in system and a txt file within it then change the name to features.xml and add the correct lines and save) if this does not work you can try the same method with Others.XML in the same folder
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*
Enable WiFi calling in phone settings:
Code:
<CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>TRUE</CscFeature_Setting_SupportWifiCall>
Enable native voice call recording(maybe illegal is some countries):
Code:
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>
Enable shutter sound switch in camera settings(maybe illegal is some countries):
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Enable camera during call:
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall></CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>
Enable manual rotation option in gallery:
Code:
<CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>true</CscFeature_Gallery_AddAutoRotationIcon>
Continuous music while using camera:
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderDoNotPauseMusic></CscFeature_Camera_CamcorderDoNotPauseMusic>
Enable scheduled messaging option in messaging app:
Code:
<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMessage>
<CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableScheduledMsgBox>
Enable exit buttons in default browser:
Code:
<CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>true</CscFeature_Web_AddOptionToTerminate>
Enable 2nd symbol keys on stock keyboard:
Code:
<CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>de;en_US;en_GB</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>
Enable VoLTE Support: Thanks to IakobosJ
Code:
<CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>true</CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>
<CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>true</CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>
Remove NFC enabled icon in the status bar: Thanks to evonc
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]Delete line[/COLOR] : <CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>DEFAULT</CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>
ADDED 21/04/15
Sort app draw alphabetically:
Code:
<CscFeature_Launcher_EnableViewByAlphabetAsDefault>true</CscFeature_Launcher_EnableViewByAlphabetAsDefault>
I Hope this helps someone out,
Big Thanks to this post for the info, there are many more in the original post but these are the only ones I've tried and have worked so far,
and IakobosJ for his help in the wifi calling thread
if anything needs adding let us know and it can be added to this post,
This is dedicated to the hard working XDA community
Thank You All

Theres also some nice tools in the play store -:- Be careful when using these!
Samsung CSC Master
CSC Feature Expert
(I own google so get a big cut of the profit made on these )
I've tried CSC Feature Expert now -and it seems to work well,
Quick tut:
I would backup original CSC folder first
Just search for the option you want to enable,
Select the value ( see pic 1)
in the popup - Input the correct value (see pic 2 - label 1)
(a few examples of values)
' RecordingAllowed ' to enable call recording,
' true ' for shutter sound menu,
' true ' for launcher by alphabet,
' true ' for rotation icon in gallery,
' true ' for support wifi call,
then click save (see pic 2 - label 2)
restart you device
Hope this helps

If only we could root, without tripping Knox.
I don't want to root my phone in fear that Samsung Pay won't work with a tripped Knox.
Nice to see you've put all of this information together
For those on EE you may also want to enable VoLTE. I know it's unlikely to be in anyones area yet, but they are rolling it out across the UK (Very slowly)
Enable VoLTE Support
<CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>TRUE</CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>
Enable VoLTE
<CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>true</CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>

Just a quick note that the commands have to be added before the
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture> tags at the end of the file.
Tested the Call recording and Shutter sound edits. Worked great.
Lastly if you want to remove that ugly NFC enabled icon in the status bar, delete line
<CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>DEFAULT</CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>
from the file and it will hide the icon.

Thats strange as I've added mine after the samsung tags and all is working fine fine on my device.
Have you had problems in the past with doing that?

No. I saw the file header and noticed they're inserting commands between those tags. The original guide also has that listed but I guess it may or may not work.
Also I believe the file may get reset when you enter stock recovery so I'm assuming this should work as a fix.
1. Open the sales_code.dat to find your csc code.
2. Open the folder above with the same code.
3. Navigate to <code>/system/csc and you'll see another others.xml
4. This is most likely the file that gets applied after a factory reset/activation.
5. Make changes to this file as well.
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*

I would have thought it would have had to be within those tags too. Only found it didn't when i wasn't paying attention while modding it. LoL
Nice tip. Thanks. hoping there's more cool things that can enabled with this, maybe some S6 exclusives finds .

I didnt have it either . Just create the csc folder and make a txt file and change the name to others.xml. as the op states. infact ill post a copy with basic changes i the first post.
It works fine for me. hopfully you wont have any issues

I actually did have the folder. I was looking at the folder ". System" However, after adding those lines and saving it had no effect. Can you take a look at this to see if it's right?
Edit: can't upload the xml file.

You'll have to zip it before you can upload it... or rename others.xml to others.txt
I've attached a basic others.xml with all functions listed in the OP
and an original copy of the EE csc folder that IakobosJ uploaded in the WIFI calling thread
(it would be good if everybody could upload their original csc folders for reference and backups in case someone messes up theirs by accident.)
You can just copy and paste my others.xml into the bottom of your own others.xml(backup yours first)
I've had to do this as XDA's forum system seems to have changed at least one of the lines I've posted, and I've even tried going back and editing and it keeps putting a space in the middle of one of them, so use the upload if your having trouble,
I've deleted all but this file in my csc folder and tested it to make sure there nothing else it depends on - everything is working fine on my device.
But feel free to upload your for us to have a look at

im confused?
i can already do wifi calling and most of these things already without root
im on tmobile

Ok, I'm finally on a PC so I had a chance to zip that file and have uploaded it. IDK where I screwed up. I'm rooted, I found the System/CSC/Others file and made the proper edits and then saved it. The original file was automatically backed up. The permissions were the same as the original file. IDK what I did wrong.

I really appreciate the effort but that didn't work either. I used the file you uploaded for me and made sure the permissions were the same and rebooted. None of the mods worked. It's really weird. I'm going to inquire in the Sprint thread to see if anyone can get these to work.
Unrelated do you know which folder I can find the boot sounds and camera sounds? I'm just going to delete them and that will solve part of my problem.

[HOW TO] Enable Native Call Recorder

First of all credit to pomeroythomas for his post which I am basically just relaying here.
This is for anyone who wishes to use the native call recorder but it is currently disabled for them. For example in the USA federal laws state that call recording is legal and it is legal in most states but because some states require two party consent Lineage OS has decided to disabled it by default so this "HOW TO" is needed to enable it. You are ultimately the one responsible to follow any laws where you live.
This requires you to have root access. You may be able to accomplish the same with adb without root though.
You will need APK Easy Tool. For more information on APK Easy Tool visit the original thread here. I personally just used the portable version.
You will also need to know your carriers MCC code which you can find here.
1. There are many different ways to get the Dialer.apk from your device. Personally I use Root Explorer. Copy your Dialer.apk located on your device at "/system/priv-app/Dialer" to your sdcard and then connect your device to your PC and copy the Dialer.apk to it.
2. Now open "apkeasytool.exe and click "Sel.APK/JAR" and open your Dialer.apk and select "Decompile".
3. Once it has finished decompiling open the folder "1-Decompiled APKs" located in the APK Easy Tool folder.
4. The file we are looking for is in "Dialer/res/" this is where you need your MCC code. Personally I am on T-Mobile so the folder I need is "values-mcc310" most US carriers also use this same MCC code ie. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T
5. Once inside your carriers MCC folder you want to open "Bools.xml" in notepad and change
Code:
<bool name="call_recording_enabled">false</bool>
to
Code:
<bool name="call_recording_enabled">true</bool>
and then save it.
6. Now go back to APK Easy Tool and click "Compile"
7. Once it has finished your new Dialer.apk will be located in "2-Recomiled APKs". Copy that back over to your device
8. Navigate to "/system/priv-app/Dialer" and rename your current Dialer.apk to "Dialer.apk.bak" and replace it with your modified one and change the permissions to "rw-r-r" or "0644". and then reboot.
Thats it. Now to test make a phone call and you should now have the record button available, the first time you press it you will be greeted with a message telling you that you are responsible for compliance with any laws, then you can hit "RECORD CALL" and then give Dialer the permissions it needs. Your recording will be saved to a folder named "CallRecordings".
This will not survive an update but you can keep the modified Dialer.apk on your SDcard and just repeat step 8 after an update.

I'm in kccat6, official LineageOS - Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (G901F).
This procedure seems simple, but I have my carrier in Spain, where recording is allowed, and there is no MCC folder with its number.
I've found related settings (and I changed them) in
Dialer/res/values/bools.xml (changed false to true)
Code:
<bool name="call_recording_enabled">true</bool>
and
Dialer/res/values/integers.xml (changed 1 to 4)
Code:
integer name="call_recording_audio_source">4</integer>
Compiled (signed), copied, checked permissions, wiped cache & dalvik, rebooted and there isn't a record button when calling.
Also there's a "Dialer/res/values-es" folder, but there isn't a "Dialer/res/values-mcc214-mnc4" folder. I created that folder and copied the files bools.xml and integers.xml, with only the above contents inside them. Compiled, copied, etc... and there isn't a record button.
Am I missing something?

Ochoceros, its worked for me. I am using Lowi, MCC 214. The only stick, that its needed to press "record" button with every call, its doesnt records automaticali. I have created the folder with MMC code in his name and only the bools.xml file, without integers.

LOS made changes to native call recording, the phone checks what country your in instead of the MCC code. Has anyone figured out how to enable call recording again?

I found the new file, where you can edit the call recording states.
Follow the instruction from the first post, except don't follow step 4 and 5.
Go to "Dialer/res/xml/call_record_states.xml" and set everything to true (easiest way).
Now continue on step 6.

Now how about auto recording
Nice work Vanta-Chan!

I wish I could program, but we either have to wait for the official developers of LOS, or hope for a kind soul who does that with a tutorial :angel:

Interestingly the version of dialer.apk from the first post (around early november 2019) had auto dialing. I'm pretty sure that dialer version doesn't work with the latest LOS roms (I could be wrong).
I have a screenshot of it since I was trying to sell my LG G3.

If you somehow could retrieve that Dialer.apk, which has the auto-record function, I could try to reimplement it to the newer versions.

can anyone upload the apk, i try recompiling but always get an exit code = 1 error.

Can't upload it directly to XDA, file is too big (~33Mb), but here's a link:

Thank u )

I can recommend the EdXposed Module XCallRecordingSettings.
https://github.com/iptux/XCallRecording-xposed
https://repo.xposed.info/module/net.iptux.xposed.callrecording
Version 1.0.14 supports LOS 16
Works great for me and easy to setup!
I know, it's not the native way to setup, but I guess this Module justs enables the call recording the natural way in LOS

This would mean not only have to install your mentioned app, but also edxposed etc.
Which, IMHO slows down the s5

Add:
On my g900f sound is great, on g910f sound is very weak, uninstalled all exposed from g901f because like I said, sound is bad and edxposed slows down performance very much.
Add: (march 1)
Anyone know why sound is no good on g901f?
What might cause it, and how to fix (if any exists)?

I have tried all of these steps and it didn't work i still can't get record button i have also tried the solutions in the replies and nothing worked how can i enable the recording in lineage os 16

Shouldn't it be on GitHub history?

You bet!
Thanks for the credit, man. Hope this helps y'all.

First of all credit to pomeroythomas for his post which I am basically just relaying here.
This is for anyone who wishes to use the native call recorder but it is currently disabled for them. For example in the USA federal laws state that call recording is legal and it is legal in most states but because some states require two party consent Lineage OS has decided to disabled it by default so this "HOW TO" is needed to enable it. You are ultimately the one responsible to follow any laws where you live.
This requires you to have root access. You may be able to accomplish the same with adb without root though.
You will need APK Easy Tool. For more information on APK Easy Tool visit the original thread here. I personally just used the portable version.
You will also need to know your carriers MCC code which you can find here.
1. There are many different ways to get the Dialer.apk from your device. Personally I use Root Explorer. Copy your Dialer.apk located on your device at "/system/priv-app/Dialer" to your sdcard and then connect your device to your PC and copy the Dialer.apk to it.
2. Now open "apkeasytool.exe and click "Sel.APK/JAR" and open your Dialer.apk and select "Decompile".
3. Once it has finished decompiling open the folder "1-Decompiled APKs" located in the APK Easy Tool folder.
4. The file we are looking for is in "Dialer/res/" this is where you need your MCC code. Personally I am on T-Mobile so the folder I need is "values-mcc310" most US carriers also use this same MCC code ie. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T
5. Once inside your carriers MCC folder you want to open "Bools.xml" in notepad and change
Code:
<bool name="call_recording_enabled">false</bool>
to
Code:
<bool name="call_recording_enabled">true</bool>
and then save it.
6. Now go back to APK Easy Tool and click "Compile"
7. Once it has finished your new Dialer.apk will be located in "2-Recomiled APKs". Copy that back over to your device
8. Navigate to "/system/priv-app/Dialer" and rename your current Dialer.apk to "Dialer.apk.bak" and replace it with your modified one and change the permissions to "rw-r-r" or "0644". and then reboot.
Thats it. Now to test make a phone call and you should now have the record button available, the first time you press it you will be greeted with a message telling you that you are responsible for compliance with any laws, then you can hit "RECORD CALL" and then give Dialer the permissions it needs. Your recording will be saved to a folder named "CallRecordings".
This will not survive an update but you can keep the modified Dialer.apk on your SDcard and just repeat step 8 after an update.

The last code is given twice, but my guess is change that only once?
(Just to be sure...)
Thanks, I'll go try one of these days, and report back here later....

The dialer.apk, I don't think I have the original from lineage, I installed the dialer from google play a while ago. How to obtain the original? Or does it work withe google dialer also?
