SMS enabler for MZ602, MZ616 Rooted Devices

[wesamothman]

Guys,

Since SMS / USSD Mod can be done successfully on XOOM 3G, MZ601 Devices, I thought to ask if you guys need to test this on MZ602, MZ616 Rooted Devices.

For that, I need testers with the following devices:
1) MZ602, Some 4G LTE devices are thought to not be able to have SMS enabled because of carrier blocking... We will check about that..
2) MZ616,

I will also give a script for roll-back procedure in case the MOD doesn't work...

Shoot it this way my friend - I will test
I know that sms mods work wonders for non US GSM Xoom devices,
would love to see it work on US CDMA/LTE Xoom.

Im down to test as well. My xoom is on a granfathered plan that has unlimited data and texting.

BTW my xoom is the lte model

If you are still looking for testers, I'm willing to do.
I have a 77.1.128.MZ616.Retail.en.EU with Android 4.0.4
Carrier is e+ in Germany

Yup, why not. Send me your framework-res.apk. it is in /system/framework/
I assume you are rooted.

 

[leicksta]

I've attached it.
And yes 'm rooted.

Here is the MOD

SMS-USSD enabler for MZ616: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oacihj4kniap2qn
Rollback in case it doesn't work: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bqo75tl6k7nata2

How to install:
1) download both files to your XOOM SD CARD
2) reboot into recovery and flash the mod (enabler)
3) reboot to system
4) make sure you have your SIM mounted for 3G.
5) open the messaging app (will be installed by the mod) and send an sms to another number; or better if you use gosms pro from the market. and send from another number to the one in your XOOM (send/receive tests)
6) open phone and dial a ussd code *#1234#; the number is different from provide to provider.
7) test and report back.
8) upon failure, nothing works, flash the rollback zip from recovery to go back to your original framework.

Hi, I tested your framework-res.apk but had to install (and recover) it with adb and busybox, because I don't have a custom recovery. Afaik I can't install one at the MZ616 due to the locked boot rom. If you know a way to custom recovery like twrp, I would give it a try
The result of swapping the framework-res.apk was the tablet was hanging in the startup with the "waving" Motorola logo.
One thing I noticed was the size of the new file: with 4881 kb it was very small compared to the 8254 kb of the original one.
Is there anything I may have missed, or any other clues?

Aha, I thought you are rooted which to me should mean you have unlocked boot loader with custom recovery installed. Didn't know you don't have that sort of recovery not installed... you got a boot loop maybe because you used the stock recovery .
Don't worry about the size of file, it is just a matter of compression level during building the apk...
Unfortunately, I don't own mz616 and I yet don't know a way to get twrp on it. Please lease with runandhide05 who might be able to get twrp up and running on your device first.

 

[leicksta]

I'm working with runandhide05 on custom recovery.
But I also made some progress with your framework-res.apk and mms.apk: I installed them again (just to be sure) over adb shell with busybox, and now it worked and my xoom 2 rebooted fine. Now I can receive SMS, but only one time to read with SMSPopup. Sending does not function (I'm using Go SMS). I don't see any other SMS app, but the phone app shown up. If I try to open phone, I only get the message that contacts won't responding. If I open contacts, everything shows up ok, only the phone links don't work. I get the message thart com.android.phone is not responding.
Hope that helps yuo investigating further.
Best regards Lothar

On your ROM, stock one, do you have phoe.apk? Or MMS.apk without installing my mod?
I mean before you install my mod, can you check /system/app and see if you have MMS.apk there? If so, please send them to me. I am afraid the ones I included are for xoom1 family, not Xoom 2

I had before in /system/app: Phone.apk, PhoneAddons.apk, SmscSettings.apk, SMSPopum.apk and Contacts.apk
I only found and installe Mms.apk in your mod. Before the mod I only see Contacts as an App and after the mod also Phone shown up. But I don't see Mms in the apps.
I've attached the original (stock) apks.

Oh, OK. Let me see if I can find compatible MMS.apk for your Xoom 2

Alright,
I did some modifications to your framework-res.apk;
Indeed, there was this config defined in your framework

"config_text_sms_receive" but there was no send config

What I did is that I added send configuration "config_text_sms_send" and complied it. Also, changed the MMS.apk to a generic one that works across devices. I decompiled the compiled APK and I can see it persists in bools.xml and in public.xml; therefore, the reference was created successfully.

From SmscSettings.apk that you sent, I can see the option that your device can set the SMS Center number. You may wanna try to check that and put the SMS center number the same as the one of your phone "of course from the same service provider". And then try. I hope this works for you know; I can't test it cuz I don't have MZ616 device.

Here is the link; download it and flash it. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2b317ejrp7my9ew

In case you need to rollback, couple of posts earlier I included the rollback to original framework.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

NOTE: I also enabled SIP capabilities for you; so I think you will be able to use your device as a SIP hub and SIP phone over IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem).

Hi, this is really good news. It is a shame that this function is left out of the deveices ...
Is there any chance for getting that running on the MZ608, ICS4.0.4 ?

Xoom mz608 is 3g media edition , I don't have it to test. Upload your build.prop and framework-res.apk for me to check and for you to test

Hi, sorry for the late feedback. I checked your new framework and mms and the new mms shown up as an app and could be started. But there is no change with sending SMS and also old received SMS are not seen by the apps (mms and go sms). Only the sms popup app is showing an incoming sms just one time. If I try to send a sms with mms, I get the message that mms is not responding. The other messages or behavior has not changed to the previous test. Could it be that one app is blocking access to the sim card?

Regards Lothar
