hey guys, just scanned the whole thread, is this any good for Euroxooms?

Plus do you need a custom kernal for this? I want to get rid of my desire HD this to start making calls via my xoom using my headphones i have.

IS that supported?
[Xoom Android Development] drahyrt:
Sorry to be a noob, but precisely which 3g one did you change? I used 3g Uastring only

I have wifi USA, BRD 3.1

Changed the framework-res.apk via uastring only (3g NOT wifi), and it boot looped (had to reflash 3.1 through CWM).

(and I rename it to framework-res.apk right? not leave it as is)

Was it meant to be the WHOLE 3g file and not just the ua string?

Or dodgy download or badluck , or did I just need a big facepalm and didn't read instructions?

Seen a few post in general Q forum about bootloops happening to wifi BRD 3.1 and Uastring, but you having success is great.
[Xoom Android Development] MediumO:
Great work. Even if they don't support voice-calls on the Xoom, SMS should be possible. Hopefully it will be implemented in the stock-roms soon.
[Xoom Android Development] slatejones:
Just successfully flashed the 3g framework uastring only file. I have a wifi only updated with BRD's method. I pushed the framework file with adb and everything is working perfectly, thank you.

I used Rom manager to make a back up then I used these commands in adb.

adb remount

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

adb reboot
[Xoom Android Development] dahotz:
So does this mean that we can use this fix if we updated to 3.1 with BRD? I have been looking for this since 3.1 came out. did you just use the wifi version that is posted in the OP, did you have to change anything?
[Xoom Android Development] slatejones:
If you updated with BRD, use the "framework-res-uastring-3GVZW-3_1.apk" file. even if you have a wifi only xoom, that is the file you need if you updated using BRD's method. I didnt try using root explorer to copy it to framework because people have said there was issues with that method. I pushed the file with adb and everything is working perfectly. The only thing you will need to do is rename the file to framework-res.apk.
[Xoom Android Development] dahotz:
Thanks that definitely worked. Appreciate your help!
[Xoom Android Development] takato23:
hey, i have a 32gb wifi xoom.. i used this commands

adb remount

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

adb rebootp

to install this :	framework-res-uastring-USWIFI-3_1.apk .

But i didn't notice anything different at all.. no crt animation, phone, nothing..
[Xoom Android Development] lokko21:
Anybody...????
[Xoom Android Development] alex2792:
You have to rename it to framework-res and replace the original file.
[Xoom Android Development] takato23:
i've replaced it.. but i got force closes of all apps...
[Xoom Android Development] alex2792:
Did you reboot after pushing the apk?
[Xoom Android Development] takato23:
yes, also on recovery..

it works with Tiamat boot.zip and kernel?
[Xoom Android Development] Bazar617:
Glad to see you got the 180 fixed for the UAstring!
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
If you're getting FC on everything after rebooting you installed the wrong file for your model.

Also:

None of those features are included in that file.
[Xoom Android Development] GulMiguel:
I used the correct file, but I got multiple force closes as well. When I tried to ultimately reboot, the system stayed in virtual honeycomb startup mode forever. Unable to get the unit to fully boot now. I'm afraid that I may be stuck trying to SBF my way out of this; which sucks because that hasn't been working lately. If there is any wisdom that anyone can share at this point, I'm all ears. As it is, I will never try this apk thing again. I had my XOOM just the way I wanted it and I got greedy, just my luck.
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Everyone will get force closures upon replacing the file. I was referring to post-reboot (and specifically to US/CAN mixups)

Just push the stock framework-res.apk, you do not have to sbf. ADB will connect even if it is stuck on the boot animation forever, just give it time.

What model XOOM do you have, and what file did you copy? Also, what method did you use for updating to 3.1?
[Xoom Android Development] fisha21:
Firstly, thanks sangreal06 for your efforts in this post and others - so many small changes compared to themeing for Froyo!

Have searched XDA and Google, can't find an obvious answer for this so apologies if it is already answered - which .xml files are responsible for the CRT animation?
[Xoom Android Development] fokus:
Hi, thanks for this!!!!!!

What kind of SMS App can i use? I did not founf one ;-(

THX

Fokus
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Sorry, I haven't checked XDA in awhile. res\values\bools.xml is responsible. The value is config_animateScreenLights or something like that. Setting it to false enables the animation
[Xoom Android Development] zeroxg4:
I replaced framework-res.apk with the file in the OP (3.1 wifi) and rebooted but am now bootlooping on the startup animation. My guess is because I did not rename the file to simply framework-res.apk. Does anyone have a CWM flashable zip for either the stock framework-res or the one in this thread? ( for US 3.1 Wifi only Xoom) so that I can flash and fix this issue? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nvm I fixed it.

Hello all...

I on a mz605. I try to change my own framework-res.apk using apktool and starting a bootloop. Replacing modified by original, xoom works great. Analysing log, android reject apk with "IOException".. Why? After a long tries, i worked in a funcional version (without apktool) and sms, voice and sip enabled.

But a question.... why the phone muted? In a speak and headphone.

someone has got a voice conversation?

i using a pre paid chip on my xoom and i need phone to send ussd commands to check credits and validity. its great now!

i used this on my Xoom and loved the SMS ability

now we are running 3.2 i would love to be able to do the same.

any ideas on the 3.2 version ??

[Xoom Android Development] LycaonX:
Hey, I only read down the first page of replies, but does this enable use of YOUR Verizon assigned number for SMSing? aka, I don't want to have to tell 200 people that I've got a new SMS number. I am aware you need an SMS app, I use Hancent, but my primary goal is to be able to use my current Verizon #.

I'll keep reading replies until I either find an answer or reach this post.

Edit: Okay, 23 pages later, it appears that, from a few complaints from users regarding SMS charges, that it sounds like SMS works with their assigned Verizon number. I think the key here is to convince Verizon to leave an SMS plan on your Xoom's line even though the customer support rep is under the impression that it's not compatible ;p It obviously IS compatible or people wouldn't be getting charged for texts.
[Xoom Android Development] wes_s:
A dialer enabled on my 4g xoom would be awesome. Then I could use my phone sim without having to forward my cell to my gvoice number and use groove IP on my xoom.

wifi framework

If you have it in you and are willing to share the wealth or anyone for that matter I have attached the wifi xoom's framework.apk straight from my lovely wifi xoom using root explorer!

We would sure love and appreciate you for it!

[QUOTE=sangreal06;12558598]Sorry, I've never used XUltimate or APKManager but most of those tools are wrappers around apktool/baksmali/smali so you can probably drop in updated jars.

Sorry, I don't have a wifi xoom (or its framework-res.apk) but someone else could do it. Any more info on the overscroll glow? I don't have an android phone

I have a voip provider I use for my home phone so I used their SIP service but I just set it up on the xoom if that is what you mean. I mentioned it in the GV thread, but there is an option in framework-res to enable the built-in SIP client, which seems to work fine:

I think I left it disabled in the file I posted in the OP, but I can upload it if anyone wants to try it.

Here are the settings I am currently using:[/QUOTE]
[Xoom Android Development] drhill:
Here is the overscroll effect I was talking about:

The commit log is here:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...it;h=0a77ce277c6ed2aa25bbea5f8cd5687c0720cb68

I would jump into this but I'm waiting for a safer root method for the wifi model. My wife would kill me if I broke "her" new $600 bday present, especially if I haven't made a final decision to keep it yet (probably will).
[Xoom Android Development] dimitri407:
Does the Xoom framework-res.apk file have a dependee to allow it to decompile it?
[Xoom Android Development] packruler:
The screen off animation isn't working for me but good work
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Same here that's the only issue I had with this
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Not sure why the animation wouldn't work for you guys. It only works in Portrait mode and you need to have all animations enabled in settings

If I get some free time I will take a look at the wifi xoom apk, but it is a pain as there are a bunch of strings that need to be fixed and the wifi xoom has an additional language. You're not really missing out on anything groundbreaking.

Unless I'm missing something, Honeycomb already has that effect just in blue
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Turns out I had turned off my animations but once I turned them back on the effect worked thanks
[Xoom Android Development] packruler:
I turned animations off and on now it works. Why only portrait?
[Xoom Android Development] Santoro:
The version in the original post works for me. I wanted the SIP functionality and tried the 2nd one that you posted and it did not work, I get stuck in a bootloop. Are you sure it worked for you as posted?
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
I did not post that. That is the framework-res for the WiFi only Xoom. Try the file attached to this post.

As for the boot loop, adb should work after a few minutes. Just push the correct file and reboot
[Xoom Android Development] Santoro:
Dang, my post-skimming bites me in the ass again :)

Thanks for posting this now, I'll give it a shot.
[Xoom Android Development] Santoro:
Worked great.. SIP shows up in my menus now.

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] bimori:
when i did this, it messed up the date and time strings in my emails. anyone else experience this??
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
I thought this might happen. Can you give more info on what you're seeing?
[Xoom Android Development] Santoro:
Happens to me too, see my Beautiful Widgets screenshot below. Same thing in Gmail, elsewhere.
[Xoom Android Development] bimori:
I already restored the old framework, but it was something like $2b...
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Ah, OK. Thought it was a bug in the E-mail program.
[Xoom Android Development] Jewremy:
VZW blocks texting from their side. Only stuff you can receive are those "VZW free msgs." Spent an hour on the line with customer services, then with VZW COOS (Indirect retailers' tech support...they're actually trained.) and there is no way around the system to enable texting.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Google Voice works for SMS.
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
No you're wrong if you do this framework mod texting does work however you will get charged for every text but if you don't want to use the texting then u call verizon to block text messages
[Xoom Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Has the date string bug been fixed?
[Xoom Android Development] Knavve:
Date problem for me too. Showing Sunday, 1$B 2$-e, 3$Y for Sunday April 3rd, 2011.

Love this lots, makes SIP calling with Fring and Google Voice so much easier. Now I can dial out of my Contacts app and not have to use the Google Voice webpage. And the UA String is amazing. It was resetting to Android every time the browser crashed before this, now it's also set to Desktop.

IMO could lose the CRT Anim, neat but not needed.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
That's actually there in the ROM already, just turned off in the config, so it's a zero-cost add.

But yeah, if the OP can fix the date-string issue I'd love to be able to go back to using this. (But what we REALLY need is the godamned HC source!)
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Sorry guys I've been out of town. I know what the issue is with the dates, I just haven't had a chance to fix it.
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Try the attached out. Should fix the date issue. Still 3G only, etc. Let me know if you see any more 1$ issues.

I can upload one without the animation if you really want (that is just what inspired me to mess with the file). I noticed it works in landscape while the Xoom is upside down btw. I haven't really had a chance to do any more experimenting the last few days, or to look at the wifi file posted (I find it hard to believe these can't be merged. Only big difference should be the French strings?).

SMS is definitely not blocked. Make sure you don't have GV forward SMS to your Phone's number or you'll get charged.
[Xoom Android Development] kcrudup:
Killed all my accounts (Google/Exchange/IMAP) ... grumble ...!
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:

Didn't happen the first time. No biggie, all restored now.
[Xoom Android Development] zorack8000:
can u please make a framework mod just for changing the UA string nothing else on a 3g xoom. thanks for your work!
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I'm working on a script to clean up resources after apktool decompile. Should take care of strings and other resource errors. It is very hard working with the new apktool.
[Xoom Android Development] Knavve:
Date is now fixed. Thank you. :D

That is odd that the CRT Anim works upside down landscape and portrait :confused: I only suggested not enabling it as it doesn't work the way I believe the majority of us use our Xooms. It is a neat feature, I dig it on my N1. Would be cool to have it working in regular Landscape.

[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Yeah, I'll do that tonight after I get around to packaging a UA only version
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
You would need a pbxes account and right now new free account can't link to google voice theyrebsuppose to be opening more spots for the gv link in may unless you don't getting a paid account which allows the account to be linked with gvoice

[Xoom Android Development] wvcachi:
Works great - finally, no more about:debug. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] sfld:
can i just install the framework apk for the ua string?

or do i need torename it and copy it and reboot my xoom

reason being is im already using a modified framework for my theme

wont it replace it if i flash this?
[Xoom Android Development] sangreal06:
Yes, you have to rename it and replace it. If you want to apply this to your themed framework-res.apk do this

download the framework-res-uastring.apk

extract resources.arsc using winrar

Open your themed framework-res.apk in winrar

Delete resources.arsc from your themed framework-res.apk

Drag your extracted resources.arsc into the winrar window

Winrar will popup with a bunch of options

Set the compression level option to Store

Copy the themed framework-res.apk to your xoom

This will still only work on the Verizon XOOM.
[Xoom Android Development] sfld:
Thank you very much, one more quick question although im not sure if you will know this.

Recently i picked up an obihai talk box and have it setup with my google voice number to make free usa calls

is there a way to set it up with my wifi/3g xoom?

Or do i need a totally different system to use the SIP (im still not familiar with sip)
[Xoom Android Development] sfld:
More Cool Stuff You Can Do with OBi & Google Voice:

* Receive calls to your Google Voice number on the phone attached to the OBi device.

* Use the OBiON app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices for true VoIP calls using the OBi device to bridge to Google Voice to call traditional numbers.

* Receive calls to your Google Voice number then use the OBi device to bridge to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices using WiFi (without using your cellular mobile minutes).

* Easily set-up Google Voice trunks on your IP PBX phone system – no need for system upgrades or complex configs. The OBi acts as a SIP to Google Voice gateway
[Xoom Android Development] Santoro:
Yesterday I went into the Verizon app and it showed that I was one minute over my zero minute voice allowance. I did try to make a call prior to configuring SIP and got the silence that was discussed earlier.

Just beware that if you try to make a non-sip call you might somehow get flagged.

Hopefully this won't be a problem for me.

[Xoom Android Development] brandenk0:
Just tried replacing my framework-res.apk with the UAString framework only. Shut off the Xoom afterwards and now I'm stuck at Dual Core Technology image. Not sure what I did wrong, used root explorer to replace the apk. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: My computer still recognizes the Xoom if that helps.

Ok so I decided to try to figure this out by myself and I'm trying to push the original framework-res.apk back to my Xoom. I'm having problems with the file system being read only. How do you make the file system read/write?

Edit 2: Problem fixed was able to push the original framework-res.apk and it booted properly.

[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
This is frustrating...

Ok, so I've successfully inserted the framework-res-uastring.apk into /system/framework, however it is not working for me (in terms of eliminating mobile websites). Now one issue could be that I now have both the original framework-res AND the framework-res-uastring apk's in the /system/framework directory, in spite of the fact that I pulled the original framework-res during my original adb session. Should that apk still be there? If so, what should I do to fix this???
[Xoom Android Development] PaulG1488:
Renane the uastring version to framework-res.apk as it should be the only one in the folder
[Xoom Android Development] qubz:
Is the browser uastring apk compatible with the WiFi Xoom?
[Xoom Android Development] joeski27:
Well now I went back with adb to try to 1) pull both apk's that I previously installed, and then 2) reinstall the now renamed uastring apk, and for some reason the there were still 2 apks left in the directory after reboot. WTF?

EDIT - nevermind, I think its finally working. I think part of the problem is the fact that I was losing track of which "framework-res" I was working with at any given moment, the original one or the modded one, lol.
[Xoom Android Development] IndivisibleP:
i should be able to do this with just root explorer right?

This is the order in which I tried this, let me know if I should try another way.

copied original framework apk, uploaded it to dropbox for back up.

Downloaded framework ua string apk

Copied ua sting apk with root explorer (leaving the original its place)

went to system /framework / and tried to paste the modded apk

got "this folder is read only "

I thought root explorer would be able to do this anyway because the xoom is rooted and root explorer was granted super user pemission.

I don't have the sdk installed and never used adb. If I can avoid having to learn all that I would be happy as a pink elephant.
