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.

17Been messing around with the framework-res.apk today after seeing some posts about the lock screen animation. Obviously this is pretty unfocused but I figured I'd share my results anyway in case anyone else wanted to mess around.
Lock Animation
Neat I guess, but it only works in Portrait mode.
User Agent String
I changed the UA String in the browser to get around the about:debug nonsense. It now reports as:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Intel Mac OSX 10_6_3; 3.0.1; en-us; Xoom Build/HR166) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, Like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13
SMS Support
This one was worth it just to get the stupid MyVerizon password. Works for outgoing and incoming but you have to install an SMS App. This will also allow you to enable your Xoom's phone number with Google Voice. Data charges apply.
Voice Support
I'm able to make calls using Google Voice but I have no idea if it is an IP call or what. Obviously I have no minutes on my plan. Note: The mic/speaker doesn't currently work so this is useless unless you use the SIP phone. I might look into this when I have time, for people connecting their Xoom's to other networks with voice plans.
SIP Phone
Build-in SIP client.
Installation
Replace the framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ with the file attached and reboot. For whatever reason this might cause your accounts and Wallpaper to get removed. Requires Root. Make sure to back up your framework-res.apk. You'll probably need it the next time an update rolls out. Don't blame me if this breaks anything, but let me know if you see any issues (especially with date formatting).
To-Do: I'd like to fix the contacts app when Phone is enabled
Update 5/8:
Added UA String fix for US/CAN WiFi. (Untested)
Rebuilt UA String fix for VZW 3G using my new tool
All versions have the language strings from CAN WiFi
Update 5/12
3.1 Support for 3g VZW XOOM. (Use this if you updated using bigrushdog's method)
Removed previous files
Language Support is only partial. I do not have the new 3.1 language strings other than EN/ES so a few things will be English. Also, individual apps still need to support other languages (Settings, for example)
Update 2 - 5/12
3.1 US WiFi Support (Do not use this if you updated using bigrushdog's method)
Files:
full - CRT, SIP, SMS, UAString
uastring - UAString
I cannot help you with custom combinations or different models unless I have the framework-res.apk from your model2
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.1Sorry 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.1Try 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.1
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.
