[Q] I want to "de-phone" my Captivate. Any suggestions on how?

---

I don't think this question has been asked, so I'll ask it.

I have a Captivate that I dearly love, but has been replaced by my Infuse 4G. I have a young son who loves it as well, but I don't have a SIM card in the phone and I certainly don't want him making emergency calls by accident. He does like to play games and stuff like that on the phone, however.

I realize that I won't be able to use a normal data connection, but since it's on WiFi and never leaves the house anyway, that's irrelevant to me. My question is this -- is there anyway to not only disable, but remove completely the phone features on the Captivate, basically turning it into an Android-version iPod?

Thanks to anyone who knows (or will answer).

There was a dev who did it a while back, it was similar to the android version of the Samsung galaxy player. Check around in the dev section if its not there try making a post in Q&A thread someone will get back to you pretty fast (they always do for me).

PERFECT! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million!

remove phone.apk would be an easy fix

edit as the one link states:
Callsettings.apk
CSC.apk
DialerTabActivity.apk
Mms.apk
Phone.apk
Phone_util.apk
TelephonyProvider.apk
SimDetachNotifier.apk

I'm going to experiment with it now that I have a basic framework. I (and my son) are fans of MIUI, so I was hoping to stick with that if possible. Going to try it tonight and see how it goes.

Thanks for the reply.
