Last night I was checking out Cyanogen's web site and I came across this:
Bluetooth Voice Commands Missing in CM6?
Hello,
One of the newer features that I liked so far in CM-6 was the ability to long press my bluetooth headset action button which resulted in a voice telling me to say a command. This was much better than the original phone voice dialer, which requires manual intervention to pick a number from its list of guesses after you speak, and which offers no voice prompt to let you know when it's ready.
Well, as of upgrading to CM-6.0 from the 8-25 nightly, the bluetooth/headset dialer is gone and when I long press my bluetooth headset button It's back to the old phone voice dialer which requires manual intervention to place a call and offers no voice prompt. How do I get the bluetooth dialer back?
I have attached the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk from CM-6 release for easy downloading.
***Instructions- Download the file into your root of your SD card, using Root Explorer remove the old VoiceDialer.apk and install the new 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk
The OLD VoiceDialer.apk can be found under /system/app
Mine is working great!
Any questions, PM me....
Enjoy!
my bluetooth headset can now operate the voice commands, however, after a command is given, Voice Dialer FCs.

Did you remove the old VoiceDialer.apk?
Also, don't forget to change the permissions on the 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk after yoo move it to /system/app.
This is working great for me, back to the way it was before the update!

so as far as the instructions:
***Instructions- Download the file into your root of your SD card, using Root Explorer remove the old VoiceDialer.apk and install the new 09SEP-VoiceDialer.apk
is install the new file is just copying it then pasting it into the system/app folder using root explorer, longpress on app and change permissions to allow all. then reboot.
EDIT: apparently yes, my bt headset works perfectly with voice dialer now. thank you.
This is great -- restores the BT voice dialing functionality that should have been stock in the Eris from the start
Is the source for this APK available? I wonder if it would be possible to modify to add an optional "confirmation" step:
User: "Call Jim Somename"
Phone: "Calling Jeff Someothername, is that correct?"
User: "No"
Could certainly be fancier, like presenting several options, but the above would be sufficient to prevent misdialing people you don't mean to call in other area codes, etc. That's my main hesitation to use it right now; my wife's name, in particular, seems to mismatch to other names often.
I haven't done much Android development yet, but I'd be interested in poking at this code.

I remove the old voicedialer. I copied over to system/app change the perms and reboot. when long pressing the bluetooth the dialer comes up but never prompts. I tried renaming the file. I tried just an install. that worked once but FC verytime after.
What am i doing wrong
Thanks for this
I can't believe that Google has worse technology than MS on this! MS Voice Command is far superior.
I tried vlingo with mixed results.
Will try this.
Just installed on my Aria running Liberated 2.2 and it works great!
BTW, I couldn't for the life of me delete the old VoiceDialer.apk using a file explorer, so I just took a shot and installed this Voice Dialer, so no real need as far as I can tell to go through the hassles of the instructions above.
Many thanks.
I tried.this but I keep getting a parsing error ???? I'm a noob have no clue what that means..lol

I realize that this is a bit of a dead post, but do you think this apk would work on a Samsung Captivate? I'm currently running with Perception 10.3 and Speedmod kernel, but for some reason the BT Voice Dialer has decided to stop working and is continually stuck at Starting Up.
I'm trying to get this to work on my Aria running FR0008 but no dice. Even using Root Explorer I simply cannot get either the original Dialer.apk deleted or the replacement 09SEPDialer.apk installed.
What am I doing wrong? I REALLY want the proper Bluetooth dialer in this ROM as I use a headset often and at the moment I prefer it to the Cyanogen ROMS.

Have you tried this? Download the 09Sep-VoiceDialer.apk to your computer. Rename it VoiceDialer.apk and place it in your tools directory of SDK. Connect your phone to PC. Open a command prompt window and navigate it to your tools directory of SDK. Type adb remount. Then type adb push VoiceDialer.apk /system/app. Then adb reboot. Be certain to take not to the caps in the file name as well so it will overwrite the one that's already in place on your phone. Hope this helps

That sounds very helpful, only problem is I have no idea about SDK and ADB. Is there a really abbreviated way of getting me up and running with this?

Awesome, I'll try giving that a whirl later this evening. Thanks for the pointer.
So, I gotta be honest, I just simply do not have the technical know how to get this working. I've downloaded and installed all relevant files but can't even seem to get the phone connected.
Here's what I'd love to be able to do, simply replace the VoiceDialer.apk in the Aria FR008 ROM - which does not support Bluetooth voice dialing with this one that apparently does.
I have tried unzipping the FR008 ROM and replacing the file and rezipping. When I go to install it from card in recovery mode it immediatly crashes. I'm seeing that the FR008 zip is "signed" and guess that I'm missing doing something important here, resigning either the whole ROM or just the file?
Can anyone please help me out here as I'm really struggling with this.

Yeah... if you unzip it you will need to sign it when you zip it in order to flash it. Try opening to rom with 7zip or winrar and just drag and drop the new one into the zip to replace the old one. Don't unzip it.

I did this basic setup for my woot acquired GTAB. The primary reason was to keep the stock ROM but get the fully functional Android Market. I wanted to give these instructions out to real newbies who may want to do the bare minimum to keep their TAB up and running with all apps and without doing a flash with custom ROM. I wanted to include a more step by step for people who are less tech savvy so please bear with the details if you are a tech guy.
1. Get the Over The Air update to update to 3588. The OTA push happens automatically if you have connectivity (wifi is setup). You can also check it via the updates app that should have come with the stock ROM.
2. Download the enhancement pack - TnT Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=74HGJNEL to your desktop or laptop. The file name should be TnT_Enhancement_3389_v3_1_4b.rar
3. Try opening the file using winzip or any zip program. If it doesn't install winrar version available at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html.
4. Extract contents to a local folder on your computer using the zip/ winrar program. It has files update.zip, a recover folder that contains a command file
5. Connect your TAB to the computer with the min-usb cable and activate the usb transfer (I think it comes up with that option)
6. GTAB should show up as another drive in your system. With windows explorer browse this drive to locate the "sdcard" folder.
7. Copy the update.zip and recover (containing command file) folder from the location you extracted on your computer (step 4) into the sdcard folder identified on step 6.
8. Power off
9. Power on by pressing and holding the volume + button and the power button simultaneously.
10. The TAB should show a open box screen in a few seconds and after some time should turn back on to the main screen with new apps installed. You should see the market apps icon as well
11. Do the market fix remedy to see all applications in the market by steps below. I added an alternate market fix (if you don't see all apps)
a) Run market
b) Open settings->applications->system applications
c) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market
d Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data
e) Run market and confirm you get an error
f) Reboot
g) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications
h) If this doesn't work, look at the directions again and make sure you follow them exactly
Alternate market fix Steps - I haven't tested this but looks like a few extra steps (You need Titanium Backup installed and have opened Market and surfed around a bit. Thanks to blackjaguar who pointed to this)
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market
The above steps are detailed in another thread

I just got my gtab from woot and basically wanted the same thing you did: the stock gtab plus the market. I followed your directions after spending the last week reading the massive amounts of posts on this forum. The only thing I did differently was installing CWM between steps 1 and 2, and repartitioning to the recommended 2048/0. It seemed like most people end up having to do that at some point. Your market fix however, didn't work at all for me. There's another fix posted by tsm26 that worked great for me. Its slightly different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12563333&postcount=4400
The only app I still can't find in the market is Firefox, but luckily its available from ftp.mozilla.org.
EDIT: Just got the acore process problem, and had no contacts or /data/data folder at all. Used this fix and the problem is gone. Looks like it works for TnT Enhanced as well:

from other parts of the forum i went with the fix of using titanium backup to wipe data related to contacts (believe there were three separate items, contacts, contact synch, and something else). btw, I am running VEGAn 5.1.1.

I am going to update this with alternate market fix for anyone who is interested. Thanks.
Step 6 confused?
Just received my gtab and following your steps to install this upgrade, however after connecting gtab to laptop I see 4 folders at the root of "E:" when browsing through windows. I assume that "E:" is the sdcard directory and these folders are located in it. The folders I can see in this directory under the windows "E:" drive are - .android_secure, Android, DCIM & LOST.DIR. However if I browse to the "sdcard" folder using the file explorer on my gtab I don't see the .android_secure folder, but do see a folder called "update.zip", that I don't see when browsing the "E:" drive in windows. Now I am really confused? Do I delete or rename the "update.zip" directory currently residing in the "sdcard" directory on the gtab and then copy over the recover and update.zip folders that I just downloaded?
My tap ui version is 1.1-3389.
Are there any suggestions?
I think you need to disable the USB sharing and you will see the files.
This worked like a charm. I decided not to root and mod, at least for now, so getting the market is great. I didn't show the sdcard directory, but I had update and an empty recovery directory, so I just replaced them (after copying the old update.zip). It wiped out the photos and videos apps on my main screen, but I found some interesting replacements. And the market fix worked great too.
But I still can't find Words With Friends... Just checked the market from my laptop and it thinks it's not compatible with my device. Oh well.
I followed the instructions to the T and the market wont work... someone please help!!!!!
The first set of instructions did not work for me, but the alternate set did work. I now appear to have a full market. Awesome!
Just for the record, I am running the stock ROM updated to the latest VS release.
EDIT: Whoops, spoke too soon. No apps will download from the Market. When I try to download a free app, I get a "Starting download..." message but that's it. I'm also doing this at work... I think port 5228 might be blocked. Is this the reason? I will attempt from home tonight...
Help!

I've gotten to this point, but how long is some time, it has never turned back on to the main screen and now really won't boot at all, just goes to a blank screen and sit there.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated! Hope I haven't done something terribly wrong!
Spoke too soon?
Maybe I spoke too soon. Doing the market fix got me a lot more on the market, but there's still a lot of apps that I can't get. So many devs put their apps in market and nowhere else. Don't they realize that this is not itunes? (BTW, I've hit web sites that send me to itunes to download their apps...) How many other devices has google not approved for the market and are stuck like this? Even Firefox is undownloadable on my Android. Is that really the market fix or should I be able to access more?
So frustrating, but finally something seems to work
OK, new theory. Apparently I had to do the market fix twice. I also followed the video on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9817939&postcount=17
That's not the gtab, so it looks a little different in the menus, but the steps still worked. I guess it threw in an extra step of clearing cache on market and force stopping it before stopping google services framework. Well, Firefox doesn't show up in market, but so far everything else does. Now I have to try to remember everything I've been trying to download.
I had to do the Market fix twice, but that was no sweat.
Perfect, gunajay; thank you very much for your concise directions.

Everything is working great using this Enhancement Pack and Market Fix. My question is whether my gTab is still considered stock with these changes? The forum messages about the new firmware update all caution against applying it if you are running an alternate firmware from 3588. I don't know if I am under the Enhancement Pack and Market Fix scenario or not.
no sdcard - help please
Hello all, found this post and as a complete newbie I was excited to see what the GTAB could be transformed into. Not quite ready for custom ROMS so I figured I'd start with Clockworkmod and trying to install the standard android market.
Problem is when I hook up my gtab I don't see an "sdcard" folder... Anybody have any ideas why that would be? How do I work around it?
I have the following folders:
.android_secure
Android
clockworkmod
DCIM
download
kindle
LOST.DIR
Master
Music
Photos
recovery
Videos
update.rar
Thanks in advance for your help!
Will this work with 4349?
Does anyone know if gunajay's instructions will work with with Stock 4349 and Market?

Hi Jam van,
Did you found a solution ? I also miss Nuance on my CM7 Atrix (CM10 at the moment, for test)
I'm still lokking for a Free application that allow offline dialing with aural confirmation and of course in French
I've tested the google build-in, offline, voice control software, but it'd useless !! It even unable to understand 'appeler Maman' ('Call mum') which is a basic instruction
I miss a lot the basic WM6 voice-tag-based application; sometimes I'm thinking on switching back to my old WM6 HTC Diamond.

no problem. i'm on atrix hd running 4.1.1 and VSuite is present and working. so yes, it does work on at least up to 4.1.1. The Droid X2 link was for CM7 and does solve the BT and echo issues.
I'm not aware of the change to Dragon Go!, its not an app that i normally use. i can see what i can dig up to replace this for non english speaking people. i also do not know how stable it is offline, its one of those things you or anybody for that matter would have to test out and see what happens.

Try this pack file in link bellow, using a ROOT device and a file manager (ex: ES File Explorer File Manager)
1. Download and unzip above file to your external or internal storage in a temp folder.
2. Copy VSuiteApp.apk file from "temp"/system/app in unzipped folder to /system/app folder on your device.
3. Copy "nuance" folder from "temp"/system/etc in unzipped folder to /system/etc folder on your device.
4. Copy "libvsuite_mot_vs45_embedded.so" file from "temp"/system/lib in unzipped folder to /system/lib folder on your device.
5. Copy "nuance" folder from "temp"/system/tts in unzipped folder to /system/tts folder on your device.
6. Fix permission on all copied files (individual or in folders copied over) to rw- r-- r--.
7. Reboot.
8. Update the "Voice Commands" (Vsuite 4.5 old version JBREL1-1.2.05 to 1.2.15) to version JBREL1-1.2.20 by Google play.

Yes, there is a graphical import method for Line!
If you use Line, and you want to change between devices, it seems as though it is nearly impossible to backup (export) and restore (import) your Line chat history. I have searched XDA, Google, AndroidForums, Line's (useless) online help, etc. No help, no info. There are some guides about how to use a SQL editor to fool the app, etc., but that was just way too much effort for me, so I finally gave up and just switched. BUT, before I did, I went ahead and exported all my chats, even knowing there was no way to import them, just in case. Well, that just paid off.
There is absolutely no method available within Line to restore your chat history, right?! WHY is there a backup option? There MUST be a way! Seemingly no.
I just figured it out. And when I explain it, you too will wonder, why in the !#$%@^[email protected]%!#@$!#[email protected]^*%^&(*%^@# has Naver not published this?????

The folder. And, like you are now thinking, I thought, just maybe...

Line offers a "Backup Chat History" option, but keep in mind, this is conversation / per-person specific. That means, you need to do it for each individual person.
For my own ease of use, and to make transferring things easy, now that I know what the process is, here's what I did.
Backing Up
Go into the conversation you want to backup.
Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper right, and select Chat Settings.
Select Backup Chat History, Backup All
Say Yes to e-mail this chat - in a previous version, I had to enter the conversation person's name in the subject, the new Line now does this for me.
Repeat this process for every conversation you want to migrate to a new device.
Restoring
On your new device, save the attachments from each e-mail into the /InternalSDCard/LINE_Backup/ directory.
Start Line, go to Chats, Tap the Chat Bubble in the upper right to start a new conversation, select the person you want to restore
Your chat window will be empty, but from here, you just follow the instructions above, basically, drop-down arrow, Chat Settings, Import Chat History
And that's it.
I REALLY hope this helps some people out. I wasted a LOT of time trying to figure this out, and as usual, once you know the solution, it's pretty simple and seems so obvious.
If I helped, throw me some Thanks button so I know I wasn't the only one!
I have a google Nexus 5, which doesn't have any internal storage.
Are you able to specify where this should be copied too as I cannot seem to find the right holder.
Also, what am i copying in there? The actual zip file or an extract of the zip file?one

On your internal storage of your Nexus 5, create a folder called: LINE_Backup the exact upper/lower case and _ matter. Put the LINE backup zips in that folder, do not extract them. LINE knows which zip goes with which user, you just have to start the chat and import per the instructions above.

Unfortunately, The "Backup All" setting only applies to one-on-one conversations. Group chats only give you the Backup as Text option.

That sucks. I haven't tried a group chat in LINE before. Did you try a backup/import to see if it would work? I'm sort of assuming no, that it doesn't work, based on your post. :/
Thanks!
A huge THANKS for this, saved me alot of trouble.
Still, anyone figured out how to import group chats? Maybe from the text file?

A big you're welcome.
I don't have enough LINE friends to actually have a group chat and try to figure it out.
I just found a method for importing the chat history using Titanium Backup and the terminal. You need root for this. Recently Line made some changes that made this more
Hope you find this useful.
1. Restore Line with Titanium Backup (app+data) (DON'T OPEN THE LINE APP YET!)
2. Log into a root shell and delete the previous settings:
sqlite3 /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line
delete from setting;
.quit
3. Now we have to delete this xml only if you are using a recent version. In previous ones it didn't even exist as far as I know
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
4. Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password.
You will receive a warning about losing your chat history. Just ignore it and...
5. Enjoy!
I had copy the zip files to the Line_backup folder which was already in the phone internal memory. However, there is no Import Chat History Button.
The Line version was the latest one and had Force Stop and restarted Line. Still to no avail.
Is there any way to view the chat log?
What format is it saved in and how would you go about viewing the chat log if you were sent one from a chat that wasn't yours?
Didn't Work on LG Android Optimus
I must be doing something wrong, but it seems I've followed all the steps. The LINE_backup files are in my SD card, but when I click Import Chat History>yes>ok, nothing happens... :/
I made an account just to post on here and hopefully find out.

I used this method and bang! It works like a charm!
Thanks a lot
*It actually still gives warning after I logged in - that my chat history will be deleted or such -, but actually it didn't delete a thing. So, to anyone who wanna try this, don't worry with the warning message!*

If I use SQLite Debugger to delete the setting table, and I also remove the jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml file with ES Explorer, I get the Force Close when I try to open the application.
And If I delete the whole naver_line database, then Line starts, but losing the chat history.

Got it! I was missing the su command to make the emulator rooted.
I also found the jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml file in a slightly different location than where daimyorl said above (but the credits go to him). For me it was into /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/
Then, the complete instructions that worked for me are:
Restore Line with Titanium Backup (app+data) (DON'T OPEN THE LINE APP YET!)
Log into a shell and delete the settings:
Code:
su
sqlite3 /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/databases/naver_line
delete from setting;
.quit
Remove jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Code:
rm /data/data/jp.naver.line.android/shared_prefs/jp.naver.line.android.settings.xml
Open the Line app and it will ask you to enter your user and password. It will also ask your phone number for the confirmation SMS.
Enjoy!

Since there's now an Xposed Framework Module available to do this same thing, that is the much better way to go than modifying your framework-res.apk directly.
Check that out here http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.makuser.nexussms
-Original post follows-
I got tired of seeing several threads about this topic so I figured I would post a "How to", which should work on all ROMs and versions around.
This procedure is actually fairly simple, and if you have basic Android and computer knowledge you can do this.
What Does This Do?
On mobile-enabled tablets like the N7 3G and the N7 LTE, the device itself is capable of sending & receiving MMS and SMS messages. Maybe you've read about how Google Hangouts got the ability to do this not too long ago. However, if you excitedly downloaded and installed the new version, you may be like "What the hell is this?!?" because by default you cannot see any SMS-related options. In Jellybean and KitKat, a device has to be "a phone" before the system thinks the device is able to send SMS and MMS messages. However, its fairly easy to change this particular property on your device so that it self-identifies as a "phone" and you get access to SMS.
Important: You actually have to have SMS service to use SMS service. Even though it boggles my mind, people have actually sometimes been confused by this particular mod, and have asked me if it somehow gives you SMS service. It does not, it only gives you access to the software functionality to send and receive SMS messages.
Even More Bolded Text!: there is one exception to this. If you are using CyanogenMod 10.2 (or 11 if they have ported Voice+ to it, not sure at this time), you can use this mod in conjunction with Google Voice and the Voice Plus app. Voice+ allows you to send & receive messgaes via the Google Voice service behind the scenes, but on the front end you can use the stock MMS.apk, or the Google Hangouts app to do this. This does not involve modifying Google Hangouts, its just sort of "bridging" Google Voice and the native SMS handling so that your Google Voice texts act like regular SMS messages. Voice+ is part of the CyanogenMod project and you can read more about it here. It's honestly pretty nice if you're a Google Voice user, since the regular Google Voice app kindof sucks.
This procedure involves modifying a boolean setting in your device's framework-res.apk file. That may sound like gibberish to you, but its still not hard to get this done.
What You'll Need
This guide is written for people who use Windows. All the utilities I'll talk about in this guide are for Windows. I'm sure its possible to do this on Mac & Linux, but the main utility I use to make this easy (FrameWork Flasher) is for Windows.
-An archive manager. I recommend 7-Zip, since it is free, open source, and can handle basically every archive format known to man.
-FrameWork Flasher. I updated this application to work with KitKat, but am not the original creator. You can download the updated version from MediaFire. FrameWork Flasher was created by XDA's own Wes Foster, and you can see his original post here.
-Some kind of text editor. I use NotePad++
-An Android device with a custom recovery installed on it. "Custom Recovery" means like ClockWork Mod, or TWRP. You need this to flash your modded file back onto your device.
Got all your stuff together? OK, on with the How Tos.
How To Do This
The first thing you'll need to do is get a copy of your current ROM's framework-res.apk file. There are a variety of ways to do this. If you're running a custom flashable ROM, like CyanogenMod, the simplest way to go is to just download your ROM's flashable ZIP file onto your computer and then open it up in 7-Zip. The file should be located inside the ZIP in the system\framework folder. Just extract that to your Desktop, or wherever you're going to keep the files you're working on.
If you're running a "stock" firmware, probably the easiest way to get your current framework-res.apk is to copy it from your current tablet. Note: this method should always work regardless what ROM you are running, I just find it easier to pull the files out of the downloaded ZIPs on a computer. You'll need an Android file manager that allows you access to the entire file system, not just the "sdcard" type area. I use SolidExplorer, but Root Explorer would work just as well. Your goal is to get the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk on your Android device onto your computer. There are probably a dozen ways to accomplish this. Super noob method: just copy this file from its original location to your "Downloads" folder, then plug your device into your computer via USB and copy the file out of the Downloads folder and onto your computer using MTP. Another method would be to send it to yourself as an attachment on an email. Hell, Solid Explorer has a SMB/SAMBA client built into it, so if you know how to use that you can just push the file directly from its original location to a shared folder on your computer. If you need a step-by-step on how to accomplish this particular step, IMO you're not tech savvy enough to be doing this stuff.
Anyways, so you should now have the framework-res.apk file from your current ROM on your computer.
Download and unzip my FrameworkFlasher-MOD file. Inside the folder, you'll see several folders and files. You need to put the original framework-res.apk file in the "place-framework-res-here" folder (how inscrutible!). Then you can run RunMe.bat.
You should get a pop-up window with a simple text-based menu. You'll want to run Option 1. The program will process for a while, and then should end up at a "The APK has been decompiled successfully" message. You can press any key to continue. At this point its not a bad idea to just leave FrameWork Flasher running.
FrameWork Flasher should have unpacked all the resources from the APK into the folder "files-to-edit". You'll need to go into files-to-edit\framework-res.apk\res\values. Inside of their, you'll find a bunch of XML files. You need to open bools.xml in the text editor of your choice. You're looking for the line that says
<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>
All you need to do is change false to true, so you should end up with
<bool name="config_voice_capable">true</bool>
Then, save the file and close your text editor and go back to FrameWork Flasher.
You'll now want to run through options 2, 3 and 4. After doing this, you'll have a file called "update.zip" in the "final-zip-file" folder. You'll need to put this onto your device and flash it.
If you've flashed ROMs before, I'd hope you know how to do this. As with the "get your framework file" step, there are many different possible ways to get the update.zip file onto your device. You could transfer via USB, over the network, via email, whatever.
Once you've got the file on your device, you flash it like you do any other flashable ZIP using CWM or TWRP. This ZIP should work with either recovery, and you do NOT need to clear cache or anything like that. Simply flash and then reboot your device.
NOTE FOR T-MOBILE USERS: Some T-Mobile customers, including me, get a "New Voicemail" notification on their device(s) with voice capable turned on. This is specifically a problem with the way your T-Mobile account was initially set up and/or provisioned. The device is correctly reporting the voicemail status it gets from your account. The problem is that T-Mobile sometimes puts the "Welcome to your new voice mailbox!" message into your inbox even if your voicemail is not turned on. As far as I know there's no way to fix this issue short of working with a T-Mobile tech to get them to fix it, which I haven't bothered trying to do given the weird nature of what I'm doing. In CM10.2 you can just swipe this message away. It occurs once and only once each time the device is rebooted. On the current builds of CM11, the voicemail notfication cannot be swiped away. This is a known bug in AOSP and was fixed in 4.4.2, so the fix should come to CM11 soon enough.
Forgot to mention, since this makes your device think its a "phone", if you install Dialer.apk, you can have access to the normal "Phone" app in your Apps drawer, and mess with SIP goodness
Also, for CyanogenMod users, your ROM probably did not come with some APKs that will make this more useful.
You CAN just use Google Hangouts as your SMS/MMS app, but some people may prefer to use the native CM app instead (it has those nice pop-up messages!). For that you need MMS.apk.
If you want to mess with the "Phone" functionality, you'll need Dialer.apk.
And finally, if you want to receive emergency notifications from the government (for like natural disasters and Independence Day-style alien invasions and stuff ) you'll need CellBroadcastReceiver.apk. Please note that none of these are needed for SMS functionality and all these APKs are from CyanogenMod and will not work on stock or other ROMs.
For CM10 Stable, I grabbed these APKs out of the Nexus 4 (mako) ROM, stuck them in a zip and uploaded them here.
On CM11-M1. same deal but I used the Nexus 5 (hammerhead) ROM as my source. Those are here.
These files just need to be placed into the appropriate folder(s) on your device and then you'll need to set the file ownership & permissions the same as the rest of the the stuff in there (owned by root:root, -rw-r--r-).
They all go in /system/app, except for MMS and Dialer on CM11. On KitKat they have introduce the new /system/priv-app folder. My ZIPs contain those directories to remind you where to put the stuff.
I'm not a Windows user and I'd love to modify my own (stock) framework-res.apk to re-enable SMS support. Do you know what tools FrameWork Flasher uses "behind the scenes" to decompile and recompile the apk?
I don't like the idea of tampering with framework-res.apk using apktool unless somebody can confirm that this is the right direction.

APK Tool is indeed the right direction to take.
I actually had to update the binary of APK tool that Framework Flasher uses, since the one included in the original isn't new enough to know what JellyBean and KitKat are Since FrameWork Flasher is a Windows Batch Script, I'm certain its just automatically doing stuff in the command line you could be doing by hand.
Looking at the source, I think the deompilation is done with this command:
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar apktool.jar d "../place-framework-res-here/framework-res.apk" "../files-to-edit/framework-res.apk"
"%heapn%" is a variable, which appears to default to the value of 64.
So the command
"java -Xmx64m -jar apktool.jar d "/path/toframework-res.apk" "/path/to/extract/to"
should work on Linux or Mac, provided you've got Java installed and the jar in the current working directory. Obviously change the paths to match your local stuff. Post how it works if you'd like, I'love to update the guide to include Mac / Linux instructions, and Framework Flasher is the only "Windows" part about it.

Obviously I messed up the resulting framework-res.apk because it got stuck in a Zygote startup loop. It's worth noting that I built apktool from the latest git sources, so there might be some bugs lurking in the shadows.
Oh well, I'll just wait for somebody else to do the dirty work

Well, if you send me your framework-res.apk I can mod it for you. Takes like 2 seconds
The Framework Flasher source code shows the following for the actual "do the work" steps:
To decompile the original APK-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar apktool.jar d "../place-framework-res-here/framework-res.apk" "../files-to-edit/framework-res.apk"
To compile the new APK-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar apktool.jar b %~dp0files-to-edit\framework-res.apk %~dp0place-framework-res-here\unsignedframework-res.apk
To sign the APK-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 ../place-framework-res-here/unsignedframework-res.apk ../place-framework-res-here/signedframework-res.apk
To build the unsigned ZIP-
7za a -tzip %~dp0place-framework-res-here\unsignedframework-res.apk %~dp0temp-files\* -mx%usrc% -r
And finally, to sign the ZIP-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 ../final-zip-file/update_unsigned.zip ../final-zip-file/update.zip
note: you do not actually need to sign the ZIP. You CAN flash a zip without a signature on it, its just that with signature you get verification that the file is intact, which isn't a bad idea.
In Batch's screwy syntax, %heapn% is the variable that contains the heap size, and it looks like the default heap size the script uses is 64 unless otherwise specified by the end-user.
Also, %~dp0 is just a path expansion expression used to give the full path to the target files where its used.
I'm pretty sure you can make use of the jar and key files inside the FrameWork Flasher zip file I attached to this thread. You can find them in the resources folder. Both apktool.ar and signapk.jar are necessary, and I'm pretty sure the testkey files are needed to do the digital signatures and make this stuff work. Hope that stuff helps

About the voice mail message. Have you tried to install T-mobile Visual Voicemail to see if it could download then delete the message? I don't know how this app works, it's just the first thing I thought of when I read your post.
Thanks for creating this quide. I tried the single steps of the guide two weeks ago (I described it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47928887&postcount=167), but always got a bootloop. (De-)compiling the framework succeeded without errors and I tried it with and without changing the build.prop. By now I have no clue what went wrong. Mabye you need a special version of apktool fitting the rom you want to patch ?

I've tried this and it doesn't work. I guess the app can't properly add the visual voicemail service to that line. I've also asked T-mobile about it and they said that I don't even have a voicemail box to store messages so there is nothing they can do about it.

Same here, it appears that setting config_voice_capable to true triggers an NPE inside the Keyguard class (i.e. the system PIN entry dialog) which then in turn causes SystemUI to restart over and over.
Perhaps the answer lies somewhere in the changes between 4.4 and 4.4.2 inside the AOSP device tree for deb, but I don't have the time to do an extensive diff of everything that has changed between those two releases.
Has anybody succeded in modding the stock KOT49H build without side effects?

Apparently @GuyAdams managed to do it. Question is, how

Well that sucks! It looks like APKtool doesn't work on anything newer than 4.4. I was able to reproduce the errors by trying to decompile / recompile the framework-res.apk from stock 4.4.2. The current release of APKtool from Slimbean I found here on XDA Devs appears to not be new enough. The main attraction of FrameWork Flasher over other solutions was the extremely easy & rapid download & use (as opposed to the end user having to like go download and install the entire Android dev kit), and Virtuous Ten Studio can definitely do this job, but again it looks to be an order of magnitude more complex for the average user to use. I'm going to be a little busy today doing actual work, but I should be able to find the time to work on this other stuff as well. Frustrating!

Did you even read my post? At no point did I say anything about "making calls", and as stated in the OP, this simply turns on the software on the tablet that allows you to send & receive SMS/MMS messages. You have to have to actually have SMS service to send / received SMS messages.
Also as carefully stated in OP, using CM10 or CM11 means you can use Voice+ to make Google Voice messages act like regular SMS.
Last but not least, the most recent builds of Bruce's CM11 ROM (the one you linked to) already have this modification applied (as he explained in the most recent few posts).

Hey thanks for coming off as a douchbag. Do I even read? No, perhaps you've edited your post several times since i did. Not to mention the fact that your title reads "Enable SMS on any ROM" then you go on to say that it will also enable the voice portion of the phone. Finally I asked a legitimate question it he texts why? because with ATT i have a share plan. While the plan says it's unlimited talk and text then the data is shared each device is different on the account and priced differently as well.
Also if I wanted to use Google Voice to send text messages i would just do that. Voice+ sends
But as you said this is enabled in the ROm i am using so I will exit this thread now.
You really need work on your people skills.
