Added full telephony
Removed full-base.
Removed iril and simplesms.

Will mount system as raw a little later today to see what all is missing driver wise. If it looks complete I'll do a fastboot flash. I did see Mms.apk in /system/app and the gsm permission is in there too.

I do want to close the loop on the additional app options you mentioned. I see them in /system/app (I do not believe VoiceDialer was previously present -- could be wrong though).

I used maguro as a reference.

Might be worth looking at Mako too, because there are a few things in the config.xml which I'm not sure if they're in Maguro as well. See 4.2.1 config.xml here; https://android.googlesource.com/de...rameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

Things like:

    <!-- The duration (in milliseconds) that the radio will scan for a signal
         when there's no network connection. If the scan doesn't timeout, use zero -->
    <integer name="config_radioScanningTimeout">9000</integer>

<!-- Set to true to add links to Cell Broadcast app from Settings and MMS app. -->
    <bool name="config_cellBroadcastAppLinks">true</bool>

    <string-array name="config_usbHostBlacklist">
        <!--  /dev/bus/usb/001 is used for the modem -->
        <item>/dev/bus/usb/001</item>
    </string-array>

+ a few things concerning tethering in there too!

Will have to check it out! I hope I can get this deployed without the drivers!

Maybe we get lucky ^^

Just add this sort of a test also - connect the Nexus using bluetooth to a car telephony system and see if that makes any changes/opens some possibilities.

CM 10.1 with Telephony

I built with most of the changes recommended by TinTin and I see Phone and Messaging were built. I don't have a microSIM to test with though. Anyone want to try or mirror? PM me.

Oh what a shame you don't have one, isn't it ^^ Sure, send it my way

umm, hang on, CM 10.1 ??? There is no CM basis for Tipalia yet !? Did you encorporate the things into a Grouper basis? Then I'm not brave enough to try it out and it won't work anyway as the radio is missing etc.

^This thread has the 6260 modem hack pack and some pretty good documentation if it comes to that.

Radio should be working. I have the AT&T sim, but i'm currently in Israel, so that won't work here. I'll grab one from orange to test tomorrow.

Meanwhile, here's the link screen shot. I'll PM you the link.

brick city here.... I need the drivers... tried patching system.img and that made no difference either. The CM thing looks interesting. I run it on my 10.1... Was hoping to stay with AOSP on my N7.

<!-- This device is not "voice capable"; it's data-only. -->
<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>

<!-- This device does not allow sms service. -->
<bool name="config_sms_capable">false</bool>
<!-- This device does allow sms service. -->
<bool name="config_sms_capable">true</bool>

i doubt it will be that easy but has someone tried building with

<bool name="config_voice_capable">true</bool>

?

That will engage the dialer and allow VOIP. But it isn't enough to get data calls, as per people who have tried. And you don't need to build to make this change. If you are using a deodexed rom, you can run it through my tool the auto-patcher

./auto_patcher ROMSNAME.zip voice

and then flash the zip it outputs.

If you have stock, you will have to do it by hand after building apktool (unless peaches and paul have released the 4.2 version yet? I haven't looked since I built mine.)

 

[Synman]

Read the OP, guys... #3 ... already been re-answered once before.

I pulled in the grouper device drivers and "cross-linked" tilapia with them since apparently we can run group roms without issue, assuming you can live without 3G.

Additionally, I "cross-linked" to maguros gsm driver and we'll see how that goes.

Same place I was last night, except i'm now including some form of drivers.

full-apn
full-telephony
+gsm permission
voice enable = true

Will look at adding / removing product features once I get a build that doesn't brick and can determine what works/doesn't.

Also -- there are no binaries for tilapia on CM's github. Looks like that repo is merely their "bolt-on" to AOSP. If they do have a working experimental ROM my guess it is with the grouper drivers.

Will likely be morning / mid day before I have another update. AOSP builds are a smidge on the slow side.

mateorod, i haven't seen a new pre-compiled release of apktool. Before I cut over to source building I was using their git repo to make apktool, decompile framework-res and repackage.

Come on guys, this is a DEV's thread.
Read the original post before post stupid things here.

 

[swordrune10]

i assume the extract-files.sh in the cm device tree isn't helpful? all the drivers and firmware needed should be present in the stock rom, unless we r missing something specifically that does data calling..

This won't boot after flashing here - I'm stuck at the CM circling...
