[Guide/MOD] Turning on Answering Machine [KK .230]

batrian · May 24, 2014

I was going through phone and realized Answering Machine is hidden in the system. With this you can turn on the answering machine.

Requirments :

Simple knowledge of Compiling/ Decompiling.

How to:

1. Decompile Semcphone.apk ------> its in System / PRIV-App / Semcphone.apk

2. After Decompile > Go to > res > values > open bools

3. Search for the line:

<bool name="config_enable_answering_machine">false</bool>

4. Just change the false to true

5. Then go to res > xml > open somc_answering_machine_greetings_setting
in the line:

<PreferenceScreen androidersistent="false"
android:title="@string/phone_strings_ans_mach_greeting_record_new_txt" android:key="key_am_record_new_greeting">

6.Change the false to true

7. last one! Open somc_answering_machine_setting

in the lines:

<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/phone_strings_ans_mach_enable_answering_machine_title_txt" android:key="key_am_enabled" />
<Preference androidersistent="false" android:title="@string/phone_strings_ans_mach_auto_answer_time_title_txt" android:key="key_am_activation_sec" />
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/phone_strings_ans_mach_roaming_title_txt" android:key="key_am_use_while_roaming" android:summary="@string/phone_strings_ans_mach_roaming_sub_txt" />
<PreferenceScreen androidersistent="false" android:title="@string/phone_strings_ans_mach_greetings_title_txt" android:key="key_am_greetings">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.phone" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.phone.am.SomcAmGreetingsSetting" />
</PreferenceScreen>
<PreferenceScreen androidersistent="false" android:title="@string/phone_strings_ans_mach_incoming_message_title_txt" android:key="key_am_incoming_msg">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.phone" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.phone.am.SomcAmIncomingMessageSetting" />
</PreferenceScreen>

8. change all the false to true

9. DONE! re-Compile the Semcphone.apk and sign it!

For turning "data disabled" notification :

Go to bools.xml again and look for:

Quote:
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_enabled">true</bool>
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_disabled">true</bool>

Just change the true to false.

Enjoy

PS: Just in case, I have uploaded my own moded Semcphone.apk with Answering Machine and Call Recording enabled.

UPDATE 1 : Found this BUG : the problem is when it goes on answering machine, the greetings plays on the receiver phone's ear speaker, not the one Calling.
For example, if 1 calls 2, the answering greeting plays on 2's phone ear speaker. not on the 1! That's very weird I need to look and see if I can find the solution.

I will update you guys again

Wow amazing work !! did you check if it plays the recorded message in a call? Please let me know. Thanks

davros93 · May 23, 2014 at 12:29 PM

Answering machine is enabled, but i can't hear greetings & beep when calling my xperia

batrian · May 23, 2014 at 12:48 PM

Now i'm getting the bug too!!. the problem is when it goes on answering machine, the greetings plays on the receiver phone's ear speaker, not the one Calling.

For example, if 1 calls 2, the answering greeting plays on 2's phone ear speaker. not on the 1! That's very weird I need to look and see if I can find the problem.

If any one can also help to work this problem out, I really appreciate it

Yes, this is the problem. I can't help you, i'm not a programmer. Good luck to find the solution. Anyway thank you to find that hidden function!

You beat me to it..I was about to start a thread about the same sort of thing. :laugh:

How would you like a screenshot?

Y'know, there's more fun things you can do with the bools.xml file. You can turn off the 'data connection' notification as well...

Haha, Yeah there are lots of them and yes finally I could get rid of that stupid notification too

But Answering Machine is not working well yet. Im looking for the solution to make it fully operational.

Thanks for the Screenshot too!

Maybe you can also share it sir..i also want to get rid of that notification

boyq · May 24, 2014 at 11:56 AM

Any idea why Sony disabled it?

demonicangell™ · May 24, 2014 at 1:46 PM

good work bro ...but this issue seems like 4.3 all over again ... existenz had it too but same issue there as well ..

All right! You can go to bools.xml again and look for:

<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_enabled">true</bool>
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_disabled">true</bool>

Just change the true to false

I'm not sure about that, because at the moment it doesn't operate properly also.

AngelBob · May 25, 2014

The only change needed to enable Answering Machine is

Code:

<bool name="config_enable_answering_machine">ture</bool>

You can actually do this in the /system/vendor/overlay/SemcPhone-Overlay-285.apk
Just create bools.xml and add

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <bool name="enable_call_recording">true</bool>
    <bool name="config_enable_answering_machine">true</bool>
</resources>

This was it works on odex roms too.

(Still Audio is routed wrong though)

I also got this from logcat:

Here's another way of enabling the call recording & answering machine flags

I made a small xposed module
These are switchable via the module settings

syahazu · May 26, 2014 at 4:30 PM

seems promising.. im gonna do it later

So this makes the opposite person hear the recorded msg ?

No not yet, still same problems.
Though using an xposed module will allow hooking into tx and rx channels and hopefully allow correct redirection

After further investigation, to get audio routed correctly will require framework changes.
Sony added a custom Audio Route to the z2

Code:

STREAM_INCALL_MUSIC

This and all relevant code is missing from the yuga framework

AngelBob · May 27, 2014 at 2:18 PM

Full source of my xposed module is now on github: https://github.com/CamberCreak/YugaSemcPhone/
