What did you change on "framework-res.apk"? Bools.xml values? Which ones?

Did you tried to make a voice call with stock Phone apk?

How did you decompile framework-res.apk?? I tried to do it, but allways get some java errors.....i did it with apktool.jar, but no success.

Can you put here a small "How To"??

Regards
[Nexus 7 General] Chaw Rash:
keep it up guys! let's see who's the winner at the end! us or the software limited functionality
[Nexus 7 General] Nic091:
A "how to" would be nice :)

For the decompiling error, i think it's because we are in 4.2, so you can't do it with the last released apktool. you 'll need to compile the working version of apktool or wait for a stable one : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755243&page=92
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
Guys, because you dont read the thread we are runing in circles.

This job was done, look page 12.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Correct, the latest "released" version (at least as of a couple of days ago) didn't work, so I had to compile it myself.
[Nexus 7 General] hasafly:
do you mean tu use apktool 1.5.1 pre-release ? That's works with android 4.2 files ?
[Nexus 7 General] Nic091:
nope, you have to compile it, in the subject quoted you can find sources.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Try this one (attached). I compiled it based on that github commit. Worked fine for me.
[Nexus 7 General] Synman:
Actually you'll find my results, both observed and captured via logcat are different, as is the provider I'm using.
[Nexus 7 General] computerking:
THis is a good amount of testing and work being done. Somehow it makes me want to sugest that you guys go ask to help out the Cyanogen Mod crew or AOKP to add the functionality to a ROM when you're done...
[Nexus 7 General] zhopudey:
Eagerly awaiting the results here :) My phone got stolen today, so I need a new one soon. Hoping to use the nexus 7 as my primary phone.
[Nexus 7 General] Parafly:
Hey all,

Forgive me if this was covered earlier. I have a new Nexus 7 and use Google Voice exclusively. I followed the first half of the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1823701 which worked fine (I can now receive calls via csipsimple and callcentral) but I couldn't get the outgoing portion to work. When trying to modify framework-res.apk i got errors (yes, JRe is installed).

Someone in that thread referenced me here - for an updated framework-res script by Clubtech?

What is this? a revised utility?

I am not interested in using GrooveIP or Talkatone since it eats up your ability to call from a computer direclty, which i use all the time.
[Nexus 7 General] Nic091:
Hey,

it's a non-stable version, you can try it or wait for the next release.
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
We are testing the Framework.apk mod in ours N7 ok?

Whats about the .odex and .jar files? Doesn't need it to be moded as well?

I asked help from one distinguish developer here but no answer. Maybe if we ask to that guys they could make it very easy.
[Nexus 7 General] ilegales:
Gentlemen

been following this since it started

has anyone tested this on 4.1.1 - NOt the current 4.2 as that seems to have additional items which may be stopping this from working..

just an idea to test it on 4.1 version....
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
This is an interesting point because I can get my A2DP BT headphones working fine but the BT earpiece proper for cellular calls doesn't work.

Could be it a shared issue with the voice system?
[Nexus 7 General] andrewoc:
I think there's no point of testing it on 4.1.1, because the 4.1.1 is for the version WIFI only, And the stock Rom for 3G version is begin with 4.2
[Nexus 7 General] hasafly:
That's right. Only Android 4.2 at startup.
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
don't you think it is a lower level issue like the kernel for example?

This is the cross reference guide. See that the intel chipset corresponds to the BP XGOLD626. The same chipset is in that rather long list of phones and it seems that the devs have a bit of experience with it. Same chipset in the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy s2. According to the intel site, it uses the same DSP SMARTi UE2. I'm going to guess that this is a firmware issue.

I'd pay a dev for this one to work... :D
[Nexus 7 General] Pesach85:
I'm dreaming to get a Nexus 7 3G 32GB, but without calls i'll definitely not get it and wait in future for another cheap quad-core tab-phone.

I'm not so much expert but the hardware section looks it is not missing: 3G signal receiver sender, microphone and speaker.

Just is not programmed to.

So what we need is an expert in C++ language and hardware :)

....and i'm sure that if we will found it we all will be very generous on donating, is not right?

Hopefully it's possible and we will get it :)
[Nexus 7 General] Shurafa:
I would be willing to donate if someone wants to put up a bounty thread on getting the dialer to work with the Nexus 7 3g
[Nexus 7 General] Synman:
The native dialer is working fine with sip apps such as groove IP. It also transitions fine with sipdroid but I couldn't get the pbxes stuff working reliably.

The base bands are significantly different naming wise between the N73G and i9250. If they use the same hardware there is certainly still hope if you can find a carrier that will grant voice gsm to an N7 imei.

In the meantime I'm rocking sip and SMS and have no complaints.
[Nexus 7 General] Ather:
what if we try getting the required files from a working phablet? many chinese tablets support calling i think...
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
For me, media audio profile works, phone audio profile don't.
[Nexus 7 General] bigbusa:
Bump, same here

Lets get a pool going for 1st person to find a hack that can be done with easy to follow instructions for anyone. and the tools requires easily downloadable.
[Nexus 7 General] clubtech:
The phone profile doesn't show up or is it showing up only not working ?
[Nexus 7 General] Synman:
Same... Groove appears to use the media profile without any issue. I still need to verify that its the media one but from the way it ducks between music and VoIP it is easy to assume it to be the case.
[Nexus 7 General] Synman:
Phone profile is visible and bound.
[Nexus 7 General] Synman:
I have a couple mtk6675 phablets and am confident there is very little I can salvage from them. Besides they are all 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (ICS)
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
Phone profile shows up and bound, but doesnt work.

I have 2 BT headsets the first is phone and media audio capable the other is only phone. I can use the media capable headphone normally but can't use the plain one that is only phone audio capable.

When I try to use the phone audio profile on the first one, the headset gets crazy, turn off for itself and some unexpected troubles on the tablet too.
[Nexus 7 General] clubtech:
What app are you trying to use it with?

Not all voip apps support BT headsets at all.

Groove IP should work fine with it though.

The stock dialer should also work fine with it.
[Nexus 7 General] kRt_uK:
Skype through stock phone.apk (works perfect with loudspeakers but not with bt)

I thing skype supports because I have the option to change for bt speakers in the app.
[Nexus 7 General] clubtech:
On the nexus 7 Skype doesn't work with a BT headset even though the toggle is there.
[Nexus 7 General] Synman:
Thought I posted this earlier. Groove IP is definitely using the Phone profile.
[Nexus 7 General] seedifferently:
On my current wifi N7 using Groove IP I was unable to get it to use the headset microphone when a headset was plugged in. It would capture sound from the normal mic but not the headset mic. Any luck with that on the 3G version?
[Nexus 7 General] TheBigJ:
Unfortunately this is the standard behaviour as Asus/Google decided to use only a headphone jack not a headset jack.

The Mic that should normally come from the headset is used for the second mic on the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] hasafly:
So the only way to use N7 to make voice calls (if it will be possible) is in Loudspeaks or Bluetooth, right?
[Nexus 7 General] sashusmom:
You could use headphones to hear better and for privacy. The built in mic is very sensitive. I wasn't even sure about the jack till others were reporting problems.
[Nexus 7 General] novacustard:
Any more developments?

Just wondering if anyone has managed to get any further with this or if its being worked on by any devs/custom roms...

*#*#4636#*#* to get LTE

Hi all, by now most of you have probably read that the Nexus 4 has built-in LTE; just not announced. To enable it you have to go into the phone debug mode of the Nexus 4.

I have been studying this thread to find if someone has a successful phone.apk working. Seems like some folks have a success phone.apk but it does not dial.

Can any one tell me if by entering *#*#4636#*#* and press the send key enables the phone debug mode? If it does, there is a good chance LTE can also be enabled on N7 3G.
[Nexus 7 General] mateorod:
If you want a tool to voice enable the framework-res.apk, try my tool the Auto-patcher. It will decompile your framework-res, make the edits for you, and then recompile it, outputting a flashable zip.

Works on Linux, OSX and Windows.

Windows has a GUI, but you will need the command line for OSX or Linux.

My N7+3g should be here tomorrow...this is the first thing I am looking at.

Edit: Just so i am clear, this will change the framework-res to read as "voice-capable" and enables things like calls with Google Voice. It is certainly the first step in using 3g to make calls. But as shown by people in this thread, more will be necessary to use 3g for calls it seems.

But flashing the zip will enable calls over wifi...
[Nexus 7 General] akimota:
I've linked CSipSimple with the native phone dialer, and it works well for both incoming and outgoing calls using "voip.ms" for the the SIP number. For a 3G connection, however, you will probably have to enter the APN info manually (at least for the Bell Canada network).
[Nexus 7 General] novacustard:
Groovy baby!

Sounds very interesting - have any UK N7 3G users tried this? On what network/plan?

Like a lot of people, I don't need to use my mobile phone as a phone very often, it would be nice to have a simple solution in one box as an alternative to a cheap payg for phone calls...

Actually, it's only about getting voice calls to work over the carrier. SMS text messaging is different - plus, it's already been fixed and proven to work without issue.

But yes, you have a very valid point and people should stay on topic or make a new thread about other endeavors.

i am really hoping for voice calls i am holding off buying for now ( i already have 2 16gb nexus 7's ) until we know the answer my current phone is the galaxy tab 7.7 and while the screen is much better then the nexus 7 the speed advantage the nexus 7 has over the 7.7 i would certainly pick one to test it out, btw i picked up a nexus 4 a couple days ago and now have lte running on it - if the nexus 7 was able to do voice calls and lte then it would be a no brainer

Apparently the only limitation is in the built in SMS client itself, which only allows you to read inbound messages (in a horrible way). If you install a third party sms app, or a better version of the JB stock messaging client, it should work without an issue. Many people reported success with GoSMS Pro (or something like that), but I used this method:

Installs the full stock android messaging app. Assuming your wireless plan supports texting, you should be good to go.

ok, I have progress of sorts to report. While out doing some shopping today I stopped by the ATT store and had them convert my Lenovo A2107A-H phablet (read voice capable) sim card to a micro one.

I'm no longer getting an UNKNOWN error when initiate a voice call, however I still get the android tone and immediate disconnect.

[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
What's your point? That has nothing to do with the subject at hand. We all are well aware that VoIP programs work. This thread is about getting native carrier calling working.
[Nexus 7 General] Synman:
It's a shame BRD and crew don't have Nexus 7s !!!

After reading the handful of posts I attempted a direct inbound call to my known voice capable ATT account and the N73G spit out nothing to syslog. Was really disappointed as I was expecting to see something there.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
I think that with the N73G coming out so late in the game, most of the advanced developers (that can handle hardware / firmware hacks) probably already have a non-3G Nexus7, and are less likely to get a 3G version - which means its going to be hard having someone skilled enough to really determine what the capabilities are.

I don't know enough about underlying GSM technology to say whether your test means anything or not. It's possible that when the device registers to the network, the radio tells it's capabilities to the tower, which in turn will only route calls if voice is supported. If the radio has voice calling disabled, that might mean nothing is even sent to the tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] gorgooger:
Having followed this thread, I suppose you also have to "hack" the radio firmware. If they spare the voice capabilities you could try to have a view at the N7G3 radio firmware and Compare it with a matching phone radio firmware.

On the other hand... Has anyone already asked Google? No not a Google search, but using the feedback functions?
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
People said they did. And they got the typical BS response you would expect some idiot reading from a spec sheet to say. No.

So what are the options right now for data with or without voice. From what I read T-Mobiles $30 plan doesn't work with the N7 and a data only plan is the only option. The play store States it comes with an at&t sim will this work with straight talk or do they have their own sims? And besides ST what other prepaid data options are there?
[Nexus 7 General] rebski:
Thank you, that deals with one obstacle and leaves just voice calls outstanding. I see that Paul O'Brien is similarly stumped and he is one of the brightest brains around.

In Europe a lot of people have unbranded devices with no pressure from carriers.
