Question Regarding WiFi Calling on AT&T Galay Note... if its possible Or NOT - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

What the Glob am I talking about?
Alright so due too my ****ty signal at home I am very curious if there is a way we can make a mod too enable us AT&T Galaxy note users to make internet calls without the use of a 3rd party app such as Google voice or GrooVe IP.
So Lets begin, Im aware of how T-mobile users have the feature of making calls through wifi, but recently I ran into a thread that posted that states how to"Add native android SIP stack for Wifi & 3G calls in ICS " Link > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674592.
We know it used to work on the international galaxy note until samsung pulled the feature out when upgrading to ICS. we also know the old method does not work for ICS ROMs. Yet I believe here in xda we can make it happen wether we use some other sort of method to achieve this mod.I was looking around xda forums & other users are saying it has too do with the kernel yet others say you have too mod the framework-res.apk ..im a bit lost.
Here is an article from techsilver.com too back up my post of this thread.
Restore Wi-Fi Calling On The International Galaxy Note Running ICS [How-To]
A new method from XDA Developer’s forum member ‘mrcasmir’ for ICS users restores Wi-Fi calling.
It basically works by modifying theframework-res.apk to allow SIP. This in result allows Wi-Fi calling. In addition to enabling internet calls (Wi-Fi and 3G) the mod has other useful features too; it enables all orientations on your phone which means that your phone’s screen can rotate all around, a rotating lockscreen when in landscape and portrait orientations, your phone screen staying dark when you connect USB/charger as well as tablet like dialogue boxes.
Your device needs to be rooted for this method to work on it. Follow the steps below to be able to use your mobile for internet calls:
Please perform a backup before you begin, just to be on the safe side. TechSliver is not to be blamed for any accidental loss in data or in case your device gets bricked. Proceed at your own risk.
Step 1: Download android.software.sip.voip.zip—> (courtesy of mobilegalaxy).
Step 2: Extract and copy the .xml file to /etc/permissions using ES file explorer, Root Explorer or any other root browsing app. The file can also be pushed via ADB but you must be rooted in order to do any of these.
Step 3: Download the framework-res.zip, then extract the content and copy it to /system/framework. Alternatively you can also push this. This framework-res.apk has been tested on the following ROMs:
LPY
LPF
LP8
LP9
LQ2
Kingdroid 2.0
Use it on any other ROM at your own risk.
Your phone will freeze for a bit and then quickly reboot. If it does not do so, reboot manually after giving it some time to copy the files. Your Galaxy Note should now have internet calling enabled. Enjoy!
If unfortunately something goes wrong whilst you follow these steps or it doesn’t work for you, just push back Stock framework-res.apk or re-flash Non-wipe ICS ROM.
For additional information, head over to XDA Developers Forum.

What's my point ?
Well for one I would love too see the day I can make wifi calls using my AT&T Galaxy Note and second It seems too me that some IF not most everyone is a bit thirsty too know if the method used on the international verison of the GNote works on their device/Rom & I myself am guilty of that. On the original thread by mrcasmir i posted my framework-res.apk to see if mrcasmir would reply and test my framework to see if the mod works but nothing has happend yet...
Why dont I try this out my self you say?
We all have a life and beside here on xda we less gifted non developer "noobs" ask alot of questions too those highly ranked, Sometimes we are scared to mess something up or we just dont know where too begin. I respect all developers and non-developers such as my self & I appreciate the OP mrcasmir for taking the time to make the mod availble for the international GNote. But i will not lie I am a little intimidated too edit my framework and screw some ish up but I will take pride and proceed too see if this works on my Rom and my Galaxy Note so stay updated and i will check if it works or not.
If ANYONE or if some recognized developer has any insight on this please shed some light & help us/ME out. Any help or clarification would be useful. Im not sure if its possible but yet nothing should be impossible.
(if that makes any sense) Lol
UPDATE!! THESE ARE INSTRUCTIONS DIRECTLY FROM THE OP FROM THE ORIGINAL FRAMEWORK GIVING YOU WIFI CALLING OPTION ON YOUR GNOTE GIVE THANKS TO HIM AND ME IF YOU WANT xD
Just a little changelog of what the modified framework-res.apk can do
Enables internet call (Wifi & 3G)
Enables all orientations (your phone rotates all round)
Rotating Lockscreen (Landscape + Portrait)
Screen stays off on USB/Charger disconnect
Just download one of the .zip files below extract and copy android.software.sip.voip.xml (its in this folder \system\etc\permissions) file to /etc/permissions using ES file explorer, Root explorer or any root browsing app. You can also push this file via ADB but you must be rooted in order to do any of these. After copy framework-res.apk (its in this folder \system\framework) to /system/framework, you can also push this. Your phone will freeze and quickly reboot, if not reboot manually but give it enough time to copy the files.
You should have internet calling now and all the other extras.
NOTE: Always backup incase something goes wrong, I am not to be held responsible for any bricks.
However, if anything goes wrong, just push back Stock framework-res.apk or if not reflash Non-wipe ICS ROM.
This framework-res.apk is specifically tested on the GNote ICS ROMs listed above, use it in any other ROM at your own risk.
--------------------------EASIER STEP FOR NON-ROOTED ROMS--------------------------
To simplify these steps, I have made a flashable zip. Download one of the .zip files and put it in your sdcard (external)---Do not extract pls.
Boot into recovery (Vol up + Power button + Home button all together)
-------ALREADY HAVE CWM DO THIS-------
Scroll down to 'Install zip from sdcard'
Then 'Select zip from Internal/External sd'
Find the zip where you saved it and select it
Select Yes to install.
NOTE: CWM uses Vol up & down to scroll and Home button to select
----------STOCK RECOVERY DO THIS---------
Download CWM Touch
Copy to External sdcard
Boot into recovery
Scroll down to 'Apply update from external sdcard'
Locate CWM and select it
Select Yes to install
CWM Touch will load automatically
Click 'Install zip from sdcard'
Click 'Select zip from Internal/External sd'
Locate the zip where you saved it scrolling with your finger or with volume button
Click on it and select yes to install.
NOTE: Stock recovery uses volume up & down to scroll and Power button to select while CWM Touch uses hand + Vol up & down for scrolling and Touch and Home button to select.
When all is done, go back and select Reboot system.
If you have any questions post it here.
THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET THIS DONE
1. Copy using root explorer
2. Push using ADB
3. Install using CWM Touch temporary
4. Install using CWM kernel installed on your phone.
FOR STEP
1. You must have root and root explorer app, just download the file, extract and copy each to their respective directories (refer to the step above).
2. Push the two files using ADB but you need root in order to do this.
3. Install temporary CWM Touch via stock recovery and flash the zip. This does not install CWM in your phone, it disappears as soon as you reboot.
4. Install CWM kernel for your ROM and use it to flash the zip.
if your looking for the download go to the original thread and scroll till you see the downloads.. (sorry i couldnt past them here)

there are a few roms that have SIP as one of their main features. I recall one rom-maker even talking about it in his Youtube video. I'd check out the ROMs with youtube videos.
Sorry i don't remember exactly which one it is.

Alright guys so good news remember that thread I listed above about the framwork mod? Well I spoke to the OP of the thread and I sent him my framework and he managed to incorporate the "wifi calling" option into the phones settings..
do this after you flash the .zip file go to Settings---> Call----> Internet Account Settings. That is what it adds to your phone where you can setup your Internet calling accounts like SIP in order to use them to make calls instead of your mobile network. You still need a SIP provider but you can just google (android SIP client or i think you can configure google voice as well) I personally havent gone any further and gotten an SIP client but i found a forum that tells you how to use google voice > > >
http://androidforums.com/android-ap...voip-calling-using-google-voice-sipdroid.html
Anyways below is the link to the thread I was talking about and all the files are there needed to flash it. You can either flash it in cwm or just do it manually. Good luck!

I looked at the other thread, and the framework-res.apk that he has is about 18.7mb, however the Goldie ICS rom which I'm using has the framework-res apk at 12.6mb, so I'm sure its not compatible with the one on the other thread, has that apk worked for you? If yes which rom are you on right now?
EDIT: nvm, I'm editing the framework-res.apk from my goldie and I'll see if it works, if it does I'll post, and on success I could edit the apk from other roms as well.., lets see.
I just uploaded the goldie modded file,
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27597907/modded-framework-res.apk
rename to framework-res.apk and put it in \system\framework
do make a backup of your original framework-res.apk
Also add the xml file to the respective directory from the original thread, please note this is for the SGS3 TW Goldie Rom ONLY.

This mod just allows you so you can setup your Internet calling accounts with SIP in order to use them to make calls instead of your mobile network.
here are a few link i found useful:

I do not know of how to set it up using another client and not google voice but like i said a quick google search will solve your problems. I personally use google voice i dont see why not.

Yes I agree, do a nandroid back up and or manual back up of your framework just in case. This is my Modified framework thanks to mrcasmir

Im taking a guess that this mod of the framework will work with many roms but i suggest if you do more than one mod too your framework you keep a back up of original and each and every time you do modify it make sure you edit it properly and always back up every time you do insert a new mod. Get me?

I'm glad it works! And if someone has a framework file that is significantly different from the file size of the one I posted, please do not overwrite yours, instead post it here, and I can mod and re-post the file.
I'm also looking at setting this up, I have very poor signal at home too, and this would be useful. :good: Once I have something working, I'll post what I did
