I'm sorry if this has already been debated elsewhere. I did search and try to locate threads on this already, but didn't come up with anything which (seemed) relevant to this problem.
If anyone has a link handy for another thread which already discusses this, I'll close the thread if that is wanted.
With that said... Here's my issue.
As stated elsewhere, one of the main things which excited me about Gingerbread was the ability to do native SIP dialing. About time, I say! Now I've flashed Gingerbread on my SGS and so far the results has been below underwhelming.
From what I can tell this is how you get SIP/VoIP/Internet calling on your phone using Gingerbread:
1. Sign up for Google Voice.
2. Install Google Voice and sign in.
3. Voila. Your Gingerbread Android-device now has a bunch of SIP settings and options.
This is ofcourse, unless your manufacturer has somehow crippled your phone's software.
That might be the case with Samsung's firmware, but I wouldn't know because the steps outlined above is absolutely impossible for anyone outside the US. You cannot sign up for Google Voice anywhere else. End of story.
So. Is this for real? Did Google release a smartphone OS for worldwide consumption, touting "native SIP", native internet calling as feature and then implement it in a way which means it will only work in one country, all else be damned?
I seriously find this very hard to believe. There has to be a way to get this functionality up and running otherwise. Seriously? The internet maestros at Google implements a core OS-level function tied to (one) geo-location? Is third-party solutions ala Sipdroid the solution for everyone else?
So... Please tell me I am completely mistaken and that there are steps for getting SIP running on my phone, despite me not have an adress of residency ending in "US".
Any hints or links in any direction so that I can actually get to try this out would be über appreciated.
Bump.
I realize posting this while Europa were getting ready for sleep and only US-people were around might have been bad timing.
Just bumping this again to see if there's any more response. I can't seriously be the only one wondering about this.
If bumping is severely against forum policies, let me know and I'll make a note of it and wont do it again.

Use this zip as an update from CWM recovery, enables the menu "Internet call settings" under "Call settings".
Works on odex and deodex ROMS [I have the same JVB as the OP]
Problem solved
Thanks Vinnie.
Since I already have some framework-res.apk dependent mods, I just pushed the permissions-file as mentioned in that thread, and now I have "Internet calling options" available.
Yes, I realize this will only work while on wifi and SIP over 3G will be disabled, but at least it gives me something to experiment with so that later I will know if handing over my other mods for 3G VoIP/SIP will be worth it.
Thanks for the response and handy link. Now if XDA had better search, I might not have needed to pollute the forums with duplicates like this
Edit: Checked the entire thread and saw that there is an update.zip with eyecandy as well. Will try it out later.

When trying to download onto my phone from the Market, I get an error message 'Package file was not signed correctly.'
I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.5 on my Rogers Magic 32A.
Doesn't work for me in denmark
I think this is only US.
It's been released for the Market on all devices, but I think it has something to do with our devices using test-keys and not release-keys...
Thoughts?
Same problem in Belgium with 32A using CyanogenMod 4.2.5 with Kernel 2.6.29bfs.
Very sad
working fantastic on my MT3G running Dwang 1.13. Didn't get an 'update available' notification, but installing it from the market worked flawlessly. I gotta say, navigation with google layers is freakin' awesome

I have the same phone and ROM version and it updated just fine from the Market. However, I did push the software to my phone, following the instructions here. Not sure if that's why it works without issue.
So i guess its confirmed that this is still US only. BAH
"Some features of Android 2.0 are not available on Android 1.6, for example, the ability to use the "navigate to" voice command as shown in our demo video. However, you can still create a shortcut that will allow you to launch Navigation and start getting directions to a specific place from your current location with just a single touch from your home screen."

ugh...
If it is US only, why did they not restrict it to the US on the market ? Or maybe that's technically not possible with the current market configuration ?

Or you can search the Market for 'Nav Launcher' and it will enable these features through an external application. Works fine for me.
Same issue on a Mytouch 3G (32B,) in the US and also running Cyanogen 4.2.5.
This is a fresh install of cyanogen as well (literally nothing more than the 1.6 base image and then the cyanogen update.)
I'm also getting the "package not signed" error. Not sure what the problem is. Running CyanogenMod Android 1.6, but I honestly don't remember what version of Cyanogen it is.
This official update no different than the 1.6 hacked Maps w/Navigation that was pulled from the Droid dump.
Even if you can get it installed, you still need to use either Directions shortcuts or the Nav Launcher to get it working outside the US.
I keep getting errors cannont remove / no such file or directory
on cyan 4.2.5 seams like nothing different from 2.0 droid nav
I sure do wish that people stop giving apps 1 start because it doesn't work on cyanogenmod..... these are precisely the people that bring down heat on developers with their crying. God forbid they have to do a search on the net... and, dare I say, read 3 lines of text.
People need to realize we are not flashing official software here, and so we have no right to b*tch if something that's made for official software doesn't work on our hacked ones. There is not one dev here that I can remember who doesn't clearly say that if you break your phone it's your responsibility, not his, or the manufacturers. That's why we have this community here, if you're having problems most members here will help you out however they can because that's what this place is about tweaking our equipment as much as possible and fixing it when we mess up. I would say most people here enjoy helping others out with tech related stuff, I know I do in whatever way possible, but I have no sympathy for those that can't be a$$ed to read a few lines and just want to flash their phones with total disregard of what could happen.
How do you think google feels everytime they see a one star rating on one of their apps, or any other app, that works perfectly fine on official images when the person comments "DIS SUXXORS, IT B NOT WORKING ON C.M 4.2.5"? It's a miracle they didn't crack down on cyanogen much sooner than they did. PLEASE, PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE if you have issues with something you downloaded from XDA or any other site on the net that deals with this kind of stuff, don't go complaining to your mobile carrier, or whoever developed your mobile's official software; come here and ask for help... besides 99% of the time I'm fairly sure that we'll do a much better job of helping than anybody you can contact from your mobile carrier, or official developers. Also, if you brick you're phone be responsible for you're mistake; don't try to be sly and send it in because it's not working to your dev because again this only attracts unnecessary attention to this site. I'm fairly sure that cease & desist that xda received from MS a few years back was due to precisely this.
I've customized windows mobile, palm, symbian, android phones, plus ps1, ps2, ps3, psp, wii, and so far I've never brick anything, or at least not to the point I can't bring it back, so does this mean I'm super lucky? or super smart? Not really, it's quite simple really my secret is this: READ, Read like your equipment depended on it because quite frankly IT DOES.
Sorry for the rant guys, it's not directed at any one of you, but maybe just maybe one of these "people" will find it and correct themselves. I'd actually wish the mods would post something on the main page, but then again who am I kidding the problem originally arises from them not reading in the first place.
I agree.
Also not working on my phone (32a Magic). Currently looking for a work around.
I have searched for:
Google
Google Maps
Google Maps Navigation
Navigation
Etc, Etc, Etc...
and can NOT find this version in the market???
I updated to the latest "Google Maps" from the market, but it does not have the NAV Features.
AHA!
Redownloaded and now get the "Package Not Signed" error as well.
CyanogenMod-4.2.5
is it just me or? i cannot find any wifi tether apps in the market now. i've been reading about att cracking down on wireless tethering and i wonder if they're removing these applications from the market. can anyone confirm or point me where to find an app in the market?
yes i've searched and nothing comes up. seriously!

Don't use tethering apps from the market. Your phone supports native "access point" type tethering. It's called "Mobile AP" and was built into your ROM via Samsung.
I believe it's disabled in AT&T stock ROMs, but it can be re-enabled without too much fuss. SEARCH and you will find the answers you need.
PS, since this is a question, it should have been posted in the "Captivate Q&A" forum, not in the general forum. And also, this question has been asked/discussed/re-discussed many times already.
In the future please SEARCH a little bit more before posting.
if you had read my post a little closer Shammyh i think you'd see that i DID search and i couldn't find the info. i also should of mentioned that i'm not using stock ROMS. i'm just trying to figure out how to do a wireless tether and no wireless tether apps are showing up in the market (hence my question if att removed them or if it was just me).
i may have posted in the wrong forum, and if i did i apologize. but it was meant for general discussion considering the conversations we've had on the forum concerning att's conquest to eliminate tethering. thanks for the response as it prompted me to search more but couldn't find any new useful info.

stock rom or not, Wireless AP is included in your rom....look under WIRELESS AND NETWORKING in your SETTINGS menu
you dont need a third party app to do it, but in answer to your question, yes, ATT is blocking you from seeing those downloads on the market. you can get around that by putting your phone in airplane mode, turn on wifi, and browse the market....
yeah that's what i thought. i know i have wireless tether build into my rom now (just found out via confirmation), i couldnt find the wireless tether app i used to have and lost after losing my tibu backup when i flashed.
so what sort of apps is att blocking other than just tether apps? i'll see if i can have someone delete this thread.

You can use this tool called MarketAccess to emulate different "carrier versions" of the Android Market. From there you can look and see what apps are available or not.
Also, I read your first post in its entirety. Even the simplest of searches would have quickly gotten you to the answer you were looking for.
The motto around here is: search, read, search, and read some more. then after careful consideration, and even more searching, start a new thread.
Shammyh beat me to it, he is right.
Hi folks,
I'm looking for someone who can either provide a guide for replacing existing BlurPhone.apk with .apks that work with the native gingerbread SIP stack OR someone who successfully hacks BlurPhone.apk so mIsSIPSupported is not hard-coded to false.
I personally will provide $20 Paypal payment to anyone who is the first to do either of these two things. I've been patiently waiting for ROM releases on this phone only to find out that all the options we currently have still utilize the stock BlurPhone app...
Anyone else who would like to offer bounties for this accomplishment please chime in here.
Thanks!
MODERATOR MESSAGE
XDA accepts no responisbility of a scam of any sort.
No offense intended to anyone, just a disclaimer.
This is actually a HUGE thing for me - so I'll toss in $20 too.
Dumb question: Would this just be standard SIP support that I remember Google talking about 12 months ago, or would this also include the ability to use Google Voice right in the OS?
Google Video Chat works ridiculously well so I can only imagine how well Google Voice calls would sound (requires less bandwidth) if it was built right into the OS. As it stands, I use GrooveIP and it is always very frustrating to the recipient of my call.
this request is specifically about the functionality disabled by motorola in blurphone.apk
bump...
anyone? anyone?
Very much needed
I will also be willing to put in money if this gets done. What was Motorola thinking taking it out?
good news...new ICS CM9 has working built-in sip ..whoot
(Wifi Question in post below this one)
Context:
I recently rooted My N7000 Note & Flashed in Chainfire's kernel. All good. Well it would be if I wasn't such a NOOB!
You see the big "to do" for me is to get some of Adobes Photoshop based apps on to the Note. I know it can be done.
The thing is at the time (before I came here) when I looked at this app I figured it would just work since the Note was being sold as a phone/tablet ( I don't know why. ). Adobes apps only work on (or should I say at least) ICS 4.0.3 as far as the Note is concerned.
-Crap-
I didn't want to flash ICS before the official fix came out, it all just seems over my head...but things have forced my hand. I got to do this without bricking my Note. So I search and go into this thread called [GUIDE] How to Flash ICS and Survive & Dr.Ketan's ICS Thread...and I try to read it. The biggest thing for me...and I have mentioned this before... is comprehending what is being said. It doesn't mean anything to me - and the few things I do understand I would do anyway (Read Everything).I'm finding that the learning curve for me with this "stuff" is just huge. I'm just seemingly inept ( or dumb simply speaking). But I want to learn this. I want to learn this. Once I do this stuff a couple of times and it's no longer new than perhaps my onslaught of "IM A DUMB NOOB" posts shall cease. Hope-fully. Maybe.
Questions:
Do I have to go back to Stock GB before I attempt to flash the Fixed/Safe ICS? If So-> Will I need to Re-Root the Note?
I got Titanium backup...but I can't seem to find it. How can I find it (it's not in the App Wall)? (June 2nd - Solved- Got PRO Key...not the App. Downloaded free app.)
I don't have Nandriod (couldn't find it), so should I back up with Rom Manager & CWM Manager?
What is going to be lost in the process?
How do I figure out which "Fixed/Safe" ICS I should put on the Note? When I Originally flashed in Chainfire's kernel I had to match some variables between my Root File and the Kernel (in this case "LA6"). Does the same thing apply (more or less) here?
Once the official Fixed ICS comes out what will I need to do?
Does anyone know of a video based guide that could assist me with flashing ICS?
I have to flash in stock ICS before I try to add an ICS ROM...Correct?
---Wifi Security---
I figured instead of making a new post, Ide bump an existing unanswered thread of mine.
Context:
While I have found something that helps prevent man in the middle attacks but I'm still very concerned/paranoid about my intended locations where I will use wifi. When I'm home WPA2 does a pretty good job of cutting 95% of the general every day crap...so of course that is not the concern. My concern is the Coffee shops, Airports, and every other public unsecured wifi port. My concern is of Passive packet sniffers, Poisoning Web browser caches, War driving of said unsecure networks and general Bhat shenanigans that being in public provides opportunity to. I know these aren't the only risks (see question).
Question:
Does anyone know of any apps/mods that can assist me in wifi security &/or prevention of Bluesnarfing/bluejacking?
Thank You.
I have used Chroma in the past with minimal issues, but prefer the pure stock over a rom - so my question is; is there any way to use the Chroma Rom Dialer on the stock 5.1.1? (since I know there's several telephony, dialer, phonesky apps/files) I am not sure how I would go about doing that, or what all I would need to change in order to pull it off - if this is even possible at all?
Reason for my question, I like that it has BUILT IN native call blocking ability that the stock dialer doesn't, other than THAT feature it's identical to the stock dialer. I don't care if it's the Chroma dialer, or another rom dialer, I just want the STOCK dialer (or stock-like) to have this ability.
I know there's 3rd party apps for this type of thing, and I've used many of them, but I very much so prefer NOT to have to use a 3rd party app for something that (IMO) should have been built in to begin with.
If you wish to know why this is important to me, read the spoiler:
So, I get ~3-6 calls every day that's just the same BS; Scam calls saying I can lower my CC interest rates and to press 1 to speak to a representative. They always call from a different number, so blocking them individually doesn't work since it's never the same twice (typically - you'll understand after reading below). If you DO press 1 you get a rude person who will cuss at you, call you names, or laugh at you if you ask to be removed from their calling list. Doing that will only make it worse. I've recorded dozens of calls where they say really effed up things to me. Beyond harassment, it's straight up abuse.
I have been getting them for years, I DO NOT own a credit card, never have owned one, and have never even applied for one - plus there's THOUSANDS of pages on Google about these type of calls being a major problem. Even the FCC has a $50,000 bounty for anyone who can legally or illegally stop them - no questions asked (how badass is that!?) - THAT should tell you how hard they are to catch, find, or stop.
After more than 2 years of filing formal complaints/reports with the FCC, Local PD, FBI (as told to by the FCC), USCC, and have seeked legal advice from my lawyer as to getting this stopped via getting a subpoena so uscc has to release the real call origin trace, I'm on the Do Not Call list... - I've been met with ONE solution that has been common on all counts; change my number. That's not really an option, I've had this number since 1997, I'm not about to change it for obvious reasons.
Now, I've tried many apps to get this stopped, ranging from free to paid, and have not found one that ACTUALLY works toward getting it stopped, many are difficult to use or require WAY too much effort and personal information in order to do anything but ask you to donate.
So far I have logged (through Google Voice VM) a growing total of 566 *different* numbers they have called me from - from all over the US and some that are unused anywhere on earth.
In conclusion, Ive logged 566 different numbers that have called me a total of 11,925 times since 2008.
If that isn't justification for this request, then IDK what is. Shy of ditching my phone altogether, I'm out of ideas.
Bumping - I'd really appreciate any help, gents.

Have no idea. If dialer would work would need boh contacts and dialer apk. Have no idea where the code for that mod is and if ASOP dialer will even work on stock. Then you have odex vs deodex to work through.
If it CANT work on stock (which, honestly, I didn't expect it to) given, as you said, the differences are small on the surface but in the actual build they're very different. I understand that, and those are things I considered leading me to wonder.
Can anyone MAKE the stock dialer with that mod added in, or a otherwise stock rom with that?
It seems like a lot to request, I know, but I've been looking for this for months, I've even set up a bounty in a thread on TUSCC, its something that I've really hoped would become a mod thru xposed or "Pure Shamu" rom with it. However, it seems that others don't experience this ridiculous problem, leading to it not being as popular as I wish it was.
Trying to stop an ex from calling is one thing, but trying to stop every call that isn't a contact, I realize that's quite another. Thus is my case, its crazy how many spoofed numbers they use. I'm more amazed that the carrier hasn't done something than I am that it's not a mod. There's tens of thousands of people with this problem and the one solution that requires no effort on the end user isn't available to cell phone users.
I don't know - I'm just at my wits end with these calls. I'd be happy to do it myself if a dev is willing to give me some direction, or ideas to try out.
As a side note, I've recorded several where I just screw with them for as long as I can - then put it on YT after they realize they've been trolled and blow up. It's a small, yet, satisfying "middle finger" I can do.

If I knew what the mod is it would be possible to port to stock. My guess it is in smali which cannot access on stock odex. Stock Would have to be deodexed to access smali which is also possible in rom form. Nobody I know of is deodexing stock 5.1.1 We have done it and got it working but don't post as we still don't know if everything works. Lollipop is still hard to make fully working rom from stock image. M is even going to be harder. Would still need the code required to enable the mod.

I concurr, your talking about taking apk's not meant for a certain rom and adding them in to pray it works. Did you look in the market t.o see if there was a KB you liked there? You can't just switch around apk's like that because you could easily get force closes. If you want to try just copy and paste it into a rom. you wont brick doing that, it may work
I know it isn't as easy as swapping apks - I had *hoped* it would be similarly easy, but figured there was no way.
Idk what the mod is, or how Chroma did it - but the dialer looks stock other than the addition of that option under the advanced menu in the dialer settings.
I've looked in the market, used many of them, Mr. Number was my go to for a long time but it is iffy on 5.1 as *sometimes* a call will get through for a couple rings then gets blocked. It would also block known contacts on a rare occasion, I would go a couple days without knowing I had missed a call from a family member because it didn't show up in Mr. Number or the stock dialer - somehow it blocked it and had no record of the call even coming in.
That's why I was hoping to find a way to get this option in the stock dialer - without porting anything or swapping apks, that way it's a native feature to the dialer and I wouldn't have to depend on 3rd party apps to do it.
I've asked Google, but their solution was to add them to one contact and send the calls to VM - while that essentially works, that means I'd have to add all 500+ numbers to a single contact, and they OFTEN call from spoofed numbers I've never seen before - so that really doesn't solve anything.
