DroidExplorer - Phone Management in Windows (Requires Root) - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

Came across this application that allows lots of drag-and-drop style management for your phone within windows. Seems to work perfectly and is simple to use.
http://de.codeplex.com/
No more messing around with linux commands etc.
Update: Just got Desktop SMS to work! Have to install the java 'server' on the phone (see http://code.google.com/p/desktopsms ) but its working perfectly! Text sent and received.

Anyone ever use this before or willing to check it out?

I've already done it...think its pretty awesome (I'm not the developer FYI...just a keen user)

Hmmmm pretty cool

desktop sms is by far the most useful part of this thing for me...
also makes backing up all your apps a bit easier

Sweet!!! Thanks! Now we just need a way to do USB tethering

Desktop SMS issues
OK, so it doesn't work perfectly....
DesktopSMS sends txts using the stock messaging app...so as soon as u send one, the phone suffers from the 100% awake time/battery drain problem
Secondly, it doesnt seem to alert you in the PC client when you receive a text.
Would love for someone smarter than me to fix this as I have been dying to get this sorta application working

Only for Windows? Booooooooo lol
This is pretty cool though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574677
If DroidExplorer worked for Mac I'd use it.

big apologies...desktop sms doesn't seem to suffer from the 100% awake issue when a text is sent...I didnt realize that the phone doesn't sleep when plugged in.
It seems to work pretty well, but the pc client does not display any new texts when they are received...
Still makes it much easier to send texts tho.

I am running Windows 7 x64 and cant get it to install. Any thoughts?

NIIIIICE.... just breifly going over it.... looks cool as hell...
write up a simple how-to
definately sticky worthy
UPDATE:
so it works exactly as advertised! EXTREMELY RECCOMENDED!!!!
-Send/Receive sms in app.... insanely useful!
-file browser.... windows explorer+android file system
-apk installer.... quick and easy apk install (like htc sync without the popups)
-update installer.... got a theme you wanna try out? EASY AS HELL
-screencast.... control your phone from your computer!!
-screenshots..... yea it does that too

this is probally the single coolest desktop app I've EVER seen for a phone

looks great, the 64bit version is under their download tab

Cannot get the desktopsms to work. I put and installed the apk on the phone and click the MainGui.Jar file on the computer but it will not connect.

did su ask for root permissions for the smsserver apk?
did you install droid explorer?
did droid explorer download the sdk tools it needed?
and finally did you activate the desktop sms plugin via droid explorer?
check these and there is no reason it shouldn't work.

Not sure what this is
did you install droid explorer?
Yes
did droid explorer download the sdk tools it needed?
Yes and I have done this now
and finally did you activate the desktop sms plugin via droid explorer?
Again not sure what you mean, Below is what I did and it seems to be working now
check these and there is no reason it shouldn't work.

I opened Droidexplorer and saw the plugin area, opened desktop sms and went to pref and pointed it toward the adb.exe that the program installed. I went to the phone and clicked on desktopsms and it said launch. I did get a force closed a time or two doing this step. I then clicked connect and it connected and found my contacts. I have to go to the contacts and change the way the mobile number displayed. Mine all looked like this (901) 123-4567 and it would send me back a error message saying to use 10 numbers. Once I fixed this it worked. One odd thing is when I changed all my contact info it would display both contacts in the program, instead of just the edited one, and when I sent my son a message using the new number the text I entered would not show up, however when I clicked on his other number there it was.

this program always crashes when i try to open it

well as long as it's working don't worry about my questions I asked.
the fix for that now is to edit all your contacts on your phone or on google contacts to have them all be the same with the 10 digit contact.
had a similar problem on my pre... double or even tripple contacts from the pre, google, and facebook. Once I mirrored them all in google contacts and wiped the phone (not needed for android phones just sync with google) they all went to 1 contact per person.

FYI you can also send/receive texts from your pc via you google account, which i assume most of us have You may need to enable it in your gmail settings/labs.

Wow am I the only one who cannot even get this program to work?

I've got the program loading just fine and can use it to take screenshots and send reboot commands, but under the explorer window all I'm getting is a single empty unnamed window. Any suggestions?

[Tool] BROWSIX: Access your phone from any browser

I recently released Browsix. If you install my app, you can do the following from another PC in your local network:
Download, upload, delete, rename,... all your files using the file manager (PC <=> Phone)
View your photos.
Listen to your music.
Watch your videos
Send and receive SMS messages
All you need is a regular browser on a PC in the same local network as your phone. Just point your PC's browser to www.browsix.com and you will be redirected to your phone (without configuring Bluetooth, USB cables,...). Sounds great?!
You can find Browsix in the Android market.

Thought the same
And still waiting for more crazy users than me to try it if it is good or not.
Add me to that waiting list as well.
Tried the site and no sign of malicious activity.
EDIT - didn't realize WiFi is required. Works great!
Hi Guys,
I really appreciate your interest. Now it's up to me to convince you that we are not into spam I just thought it would be great if you could point your browser to a web page and then be redirected to your phone. That's why I developed this tool, and it took quite some time actually. Some more explanation: What we actually do is show a link on the browsix.com home page when the Browsix application is installed, you will notice that this is a local IP address (you have to be connected via Wifi). So if you click the link, you will be redirected to your phone, which will serve all the requests. The tool you install on your android phone is actually a lightweight webserver.
@Phateless: Did you try the top links on the home page. For instance, if you click the Photos link, you should see a photo slideshow. Did that not work for you? What browser are you using? Of course you will not see the photos on your phone You will have to install the application for that.
Just to make things clear: None of your data (photos, music, files, etc..) is stored on our server. We only store you local IP address.
We are still in early development so I really appreciate all your suggestions, bug reports, etc. And believe me, I'm not a spammer. Is there any another way for me to prove this?
Thanks,
Stijn

- Upload multiple files at the same time (also included in the free version)
- Intelligent prefetching for faster load times
- Unlimited upload size
- Rename/delete files
- Better error handling
For the upcoming version I have in mind:
- Password protection
What other features would you guys like to see?
Thanks,
Stijn

We go a few steps further. We have separate pages for photos, music and video where you can view your media. On top of that we provide a file manager that you can use to copy/manage files between a PC and your phone, in both ways .
I also have an exciting new feature to announce!!
- The ability to send and receive SMS text messages in your browser.
I use it to respond to my text messages when my phone is on my desk and my browser is opened anyway.
This feature is still in BETA, so I hope I will get tons of feedback to further improve it.
See you later!
What's the difference between the lite and paid versions? Or is it a donate?
EDIT: Ah, nevermind. Found it on your website.
Paid version
The paid version has: Fullscreen support, Ads-free local pages, Extra file manager features and much more to come...

EDIT#2: I can't seem to get the lite version to work. My phone shows up on the webpage, but nothing happens when I click the link for it, or when I put the IP address in manually.
Hi seboj,
Were you connected via WiFi? Your computer should be in the same local network as your phone (basically behind the same router).
It's started randomly force closing on me for the last few days, when it wasn't even open that I knew of.
Any ideas?

I think both your problems have something to do with the new SMS feature (are you both using android 2.2 ?).
A bit technical: I implemented a BroadcastReceiver for the SMS messages. This means that when you receive an SMS, the receiver upgrades a counter and stores some properties of the SMS so Browsix can use them. I will add some more error checking and publish a new version to the market. (EDIT The broadcastreceiver is now only registered when browsix is enabled)
If you still have the same problem with the new version, can someone check the output of LogCat? That would be a great help.
Thanks for your patience,
Stijn
EDIT: A new version is published to the market. Please let me know if it works for you.

Can you give me a basic on logcat? I've heard the term and I'm fairly comfortable with adb, just haven't used logcat yet.
You can use
Code:
adb logcat
to print out log messages. More information can be found at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#logcat
I think we can find the problem if you use the following (this will print error messages, you will have to enable usb debugging on your phone):
Code:
adb logcat *:E

So I don't need to have logcat running WHILE the errors happen? Yeah I'm already rooted with debugging enabled. I've been nandroiding back and forth between Sense and CM6 about once or twice a week lately. MT4G.

Howdy everyone, this is the thread I'm putting together to walk everyone through the step-by-step process fellow ACS member ShabbyPenguin and I have concocted to get Google+ Huddle on your desktop. There's a video, there's files, there's awesomeness! But first...
Shout Outs
If you Google search "Get Huddle On Your Desktop", there's a number of tutorials on getting Android to work on your desktop. We used these tutorials to get started and used user comments to help troubleshoot problems we had. I'd list individual links but we used pretty much all of them.
Shabbypenguin for getting the Market to work better, getting Google+ to work on the emulator and creating the file everyone will be downloading and using. I really couldn't have done this without his expertise. I linked his name to one of his posts so you can give him thanks as well
Me for getting the Market to work in the first place, getting interwebz to work in the emulator on a permanent basis, having the idea and writing this thread
JunkDruggler and Greenmuggy for the awesome on-the-fly graphics!
Lastly, of course, is everyone who helped by testing to be sure it worked. Thank you!
Why?
Huddles are a brilliant way for a large amount of people to keep in touch with one another. It uses social networking to make adding people to the chat easy, it doesn't use a lot of battery life and makes it convenient for getting a hold of people wherever you are. One massive, gaping problem, though, is no desktop client. Instead of trying to talk everyone I know into using Skype, IRC or other ways of talking to mass people on a desktop, it was decided that Huddle must be ported to be used on a desktop. It was the only logical conclusion.
With that in mind. We got Google+ running with full internet and market access. However, it was a hell of a process and took many hours of troubleshooting and collaborating. To simplify the process, Shabbypenguin exported the entire set up into a universally importable file so that anyone with Virtual Box can port it in (with a few tweaks made) and start using their Google+ Huddle on their computer. Once Virtual Box is installed and the .zip for the import is downloaded, it takes 5 minutes to set up. We are not the first people to get it to work, but we are the first to make it a painless, easy process to make it available to a mass number of people with minimal effort.
Features
*Android 2.2 (FroYo) emulated in Virtual Box (We had to use FroYo, it had the most stable internet connections)
*Market works...mostly.
*Google+ and Huddle work flawlessly
*Full internet usability (such as web browsing)
Specifications
*Has been confirmed working on Windows 7 and Linux. Since it's an environment run in Virtual Box and not on the actual OS, there's no reason to believe that it won't run on a Mac as well.
*According to my task manager, Virtual Box running this uses between 75MB and 90MB worth of RAM. There's no conceivable way you have less than that...but if you do, your computer is going to lag hardcore.
Installation Instructions
01. Download and install Virtual Box from their official website. Do a normal installation, no special instructions required.
02. Download the VHD (virtual hard disk..*snicker*) from the original thread at ACSyndicate.
03. Move the VHD you just downloaded somewhere where you won't forget it or accidentally delete it.
04. Use your favorite archive program (I prefer 7zip) to extract the contents right there in the folder.
05. Double-click (or otherwise open) the file that was unzipped entitled "Froyo". Not Froyo-disk1. This will open up Virtual Box and import our pre-made FroYo emulator into your Virtual Box.
Now it would appear as though you're done. However, because this was ported from a computer that wasn't yours, there's some stuff you need to check (and maybe change) to make it specific to your computer. Please follow the remaining directions as they'll likely solve your problems.
06. Before booting up, there's a couple of settings you need to change. So go to "Settings" (should be a button at the top), then select "Network" from the left margin. Make sure "Enable Network Adapter" is checked. Then select as follows:
Attached to: You want "Bridged Adapter"
Name: Use the drop down menu and select your primary network card / network adapter / whatever. Usually the first thing in the drop down menu.
Click *advanced* to drop that menu down if it isn't already.
Adapter Type: PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)
It is very important that adapter type is set to PCnet-FAST III. Not sure if the numbers in the parenthesis are the same, but the essential part is PCnet-FAST III
Promiscuous Mode: Allow All (not sure this even matters, but it can't hurt to be sure)
MAC Address: should be filled in automatically.
Lastly, check the box that says "Cable connected". That was a long step.
From here if you double click "FroYo" in Virtual Box, it will boot up Android 2.2 inside the emulator. It'll get to a pre-boot menu asking about which one you want to boot, just select the top one (hdpi).
Important
Once you hit the Android boot screen, go up to where it says "Machine" and click "Disable Mouse Integration". This will allow you to move freely within the emulator using your mouse. You MUST do this on every boot. So if you close out, remember to do it again.
Lastly
When you go to sign into Google+ for the first time (you'll find it in the app drawer), it'll ask for your gmail and password like normal. Type in your username and password like normal. You MAY get some stupid error about using special characters in the email address. Hit "okay" and it'll go back to the prior screen. DO NOT RE-TYPE YOUR USERNAME. Just click in the password box and it'll auto-fill the "@gmail.com" part for you and work properly the 2nd time you do it.
Known Issues
*You will frequently get notifications that the system can't get updated Market data. Disregard, this is meaningless.
*Occasionally you'll get an error notification about signing into gTalk. Disregard, this is meaningless.
*You will get miscellaneous error notifications. Ignore them. This is for Huddle and Huddle only with a few other basic functions. We're not going to be troubleshooting (read: fixing) these.
*Sometimes it appears as though the battery is draining. Do not be alarmed, your battery will not die and the emulator won't crash.
*Sound does NOT work and, obviously, neither does vibration so you will not hear any notifications. You'll have to open up the window to check your Huddle.
Pro Tips
1. The "esc" key and right clicks on the mouse function like the "back" button. The "Home" key on your keyboard functions as the "home" button in the emulator.
2. Once you're all signed in and ready to go, back out to the home screen, open the app drawer and go to settings. Then navigate to display and change the screen time out setting to "never timeout". This will prevent the emulator from dropping back to the lock screen.
3. You will not be able to copy/paste things from outside the emulator to inside the emulator and vice versa. Don't try it.
4. If you stay in the Huddle app, it'll automatically put the focus in the text box when you open up the window so you don't have to click in it to start typing. Just start typing.
5. If you need to scroll up and down in a huddle conversation real fast, click in the text box then use the up and down arrows. much easier than using the mouse to click and drag.
6. The "tab" key will not ever work. Don't try it.
7. Personally, I never exit Huddle, so when I open the Window it's always right there. If you plan on using this as a Huddle-only thing (like you're supposed to), then it's recommended to just leave Huddle open.

I tried your files and they dont do anything for me. I use 7zip to unzip the files and then double click froyo and it opens virtual box but then doesnt do anything else

step 06: check the network settings to make sure they're correct
then double click froyo in virtual box and it should boot up in a new window. check out the video at the ACS site if you have more trouble. I do the whole process from start to finish on it.
huddle/messenger is open source and has an api.. i wonder why noone has made a desktop client yet..
Am I missing something? Can't you join a Huddle from a G+ browser window?

I must have been confusing. I double click froyo and all it does is open virtual box it doesnt set anything up or create a new virtual machine so i cant even get to step 6. So maybe i should say it does nothing at all.
My workaround,
Install bluestacks.
Check this thread on how to get rightclick to install apk's into bluestsacks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298332
Check the same thread on how to get rid of Full screen on Bluestacks.
Only install Google Service Framework, setup wizard, market & Google+ after you have installed a good Homelauncher, also from the same thread.
(onetime initializer is annyoing)
Beware that there will be a notification about Google+ that you might not see in the notification bar.
Pronto Google+ on your desktop. Not checked voice & sound yet as I just did it after reading this thread.

We tried a number of different ways including the browser. You can talk via gTalk in the browser but not the Huddle

Sorry about the thread necro (of sorts)...
I think this is brilliant... however, I just tried setting this up and for some reason it won't let me log into my Google account (says wrong username/password)... rest assured, I know I'm using the right login information. Anyone know if something has changed?

PS I should add, the network otherwise appears to work fine e.g. I can log into Google via the virtual Android browser just fine.
Does this still work for people? I have followed the instructions, and can access my gmail in the VM, but trying to sign in to either google+ or Messenger fails.

AirDroid... yet another like Remote Web Desktop

I'm not, by any means, a developer or affiliated with AirDroid in any way. <--- definitely advertising
I came across this app earlier today and it is honestly one of the most useful apps I've ever seen. It gives one the potential to view his or her messages, calls, contacts, files and everything else on your phone FROM YOUR PC (or Mac) WEB BROWSER. All you have to do is type in a gateway that you get once you open the app on your phone. It'll take you to a log-in screen, which precedes a "desktop" with all of your phone-everything.
One of the coolest things is that it automatically syncs anything you do within the web browser to your phone and vice-versa. I.E. this is one of the few/only app(s) that will show pictures and full contact details within the web browser. Unlike other apps, if you send or receive messages, your phone logs and conversations will also be updated..as if you never used the app to begin with.
Per usual, you need to be connected to the same wifi network from your phone and PC/Mac/iPad/tablet you'll use to "control" your phone.
There aren't any notable downsides that I've read of or come across. This is simply a solid app that has unlimited potential.

Doesn't Kies Air do the same thing?

As a rule of thumb I delete Kies Air at first because it's bloat to me. But I tried using it as often as I'd use AirDroid. Kies Air is just so slow, laggy and well...bloated. At least the web version. I'm the kind of person who loads saves ALL of his texts. So Kies attempts to automatically load EVERYTHING on your phone at once: texts, calls, music, pictures, videos, files. Software-wise it's not necessarily efficient.
To answer the original question- yes. But this is faster and cleaner in every definition of the words. Much simpler UI with faster transfer speeds and won't hog up your bandwidth because it only loads data as needed.
*Edit from here and below:
I guess the reason for the lag behind Kies Air is due to the fact that it runs a Java applet on your web browser. AirDroid runs a much cleaner JavaScript that's linked with HTML5, as I understand.
It's up to you, of course. But after trying both, I don't think there's any actual competition as to which app is significantly faster and more efficient.

Yes, in some aspects Kies Air does the same thing.
However, AirDroid is 12094820394823 times faster! The ease of the interface is amazing. It's a truly innovative application if you do a lot of files transfers through your phone. I use my phone like a thumb drive all the time. This only makes it easier. Sending messages while doing work on my laptop without having to type on the phone's keyboard? Yes please.
I would easily pay for this app.
I would like to see a novel contact manager built into the app. Something that is really functional and efficient. We all know that google contacts and android's address book are both a little weak in the functionality department. If the developers of the app can make such a solid app, I'm sure they can come up with a creative contact manager to integrate into AirDroid.
awesome app, but it would be even more awesome if u can fully utilize your phone (like literally browse through phone functions on a PC) on the web browser

This looks absolutely amazing. They must have spent quite a bit of time to make this app as awesome as it is. And completely free? Crazy.
Which is the only reason I have qualms about it. How can a company invest so much into an app that generates no revenue whatsoever in the Market?
I am always weary of apps that have complete access to all of your personal information (which the app needs to work correctly) and have no obvious avenue for generating revenue.
Maybe I'm missing something here? Are there ads?

Thanks for supporting AirDroid. Actually now, AirDroid also supports remote access to your mobile, even when your mobile is not around and not in the same wifi, you can access it to Web browser by enabling the auto wake up mode in APP.
There should be a screen viewer option.

To the first point, Kies is Samsung proprietary. They may do similar things and Airdroid is faster, but for the HTC phones I have, Kies really lacks in the "working" dept.
Secondarily, I am unsure if your statement includes the web-based Google Contacts in desktop browser but I find it quite sufficient for my needs and is obviously synced with Android if you use Google apps.
For every other need, I would imagine the import/export functionality of Google Contacts would make it easily portable to other platforms and then able to be ported back. "Insert simple script here " tacked on to said platform enables full auto sync.

Enabling "Phone" Functionality On The P3113/WiFi-only GT2 7.0?

Hey hey. Ever since getting a WiFi-only GT-P3113, I had been wanting to figure out a way to unlock the "phone" functionality in software. First, what do I mean? I know that this device does not physically have a "mobile" radio and so it'll NEVER work like a real cellular device. I know this.
I understand that you can't just magically make a WiFi only device into a 3G / 4G device by flashing it.
What I am after is making the normal Android phone-related stuff work, like making the Phone APK visible, making the normal dialer accessible, and enabling support for the "Headset" BlueTooth profile.
The native Android Phone.apk has support for SIP accounts built right into it, and even when you're using a 3rd party solution, the native dialer functions are just plain nice to have access to. I use GrooveIP myself, and it gets setup as the default dialer app, so basically all you gotta do to make calls is go to People, click on the # you want to call, and it works, just like a standard Android handset. Very nice and easy
The BT headset functionality is useful in apps like Skype.
I kinda inadvertently found out that all of this stuff gets "turned on" if you're using the ROM from a P3100.
I flashed one of those while testing out codeworkx's excellent CM10 ROMs, since the initial release was 3100-only.
You MUST modify the installer script to flash a 3100 ROM onto a 3113.
My purpose in posting is two-fold:
1-I couldn't find any threads really talking about this particular issue.
2-Are there any particular problems that could result in flashing the 3100 ROMs onto a 3113? Everything is working for me so far, and I can't think of any possible problems, but I figured I'd ask.
The only thing that was even remotely an "issue" for me was I had an always-empty "signal" icon on my notification bar. Since I'm running CM10 I just disabled the signal icon. This doesn't disable the WiFi icon, so its all good

Ummmmm. A few things. First, that application doesn't appear to be really related to my post at all.
Second, when I compare that app with Google Voice as a texting solution, I kinda feel like Google Voice is a much better way to go. To use Tablet Talk you pay $3 for the app, which you then have to have installed on a smartphone. The smart phone has to be up and running, and has to have SMS service on it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the phone is turned off, runs out of battery, or loses reception, then the whole system stops working.
Google Voice is free, and to use it on any Android device, you install the free Google Voice app and then use it. Since I don't even have a smartphone or any sort of SMS service, I don't appear to be able to use Tablet Talk. Actually at this point I don't even really use the normal GoogleVoice app, since I have GV hooked up to my GoogleTalk account via GV Max. Basically means I just "text" in Trillian, along with IMing. Its just more efficient that way.
How the hell would he know you don't have a smartphone?

Yeah...
Tablet talk works great, if you have a phone.
Info I could have used.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
He wouldn't, which is why I pointed it out as one of the many reasons I gave for why Tablet Talk is (I feel) an inferior solution when contrasted with Google Voice. At this point I have my SMS, AIM, MSN, and Facebook IM all coming in via GoogleTalk, so now I only have to worry about setting up one chat solution and I'm good. To that end I'm liking LilyPad, and hopefully will jump to that once it gets Group support. Until then, Trillian is my be all, end all comms solution.
I don't really know how that has anything to do with using the P3100 ROMs on the P3113 or phone functionality LOL
I found that there are a lot of different SIP solutions that'll work just fine with the native Android Phone.apk, which has a built in SIP client. I'm presently trying out a combination of sip2sip, IPKall, and GoogleVoice. I have been using GrooveIP but its one more thing to install & configure, so I'll see how this works with just "native" Android apps.
Does anyone know if there are any potential problems that this can cause? So far I haven't encountered any, just didn't wanna make my tablet explode or something
To be honest I think it can be enabled via build prop or something of the like. I found it when looking for mount info. Workin till 9ish ill take a look when I get home.

OP,
This can be done by decompling the framework-res.apk and modifying /res/values/bools.XML and set "voice capable" from false to true. Then recomplie your modified framework-res file and replace the one on the device.
You will then be able to see the phone app and the sip option.
You must know what you are doing and take a backup before you do this because if you mess up the file your device will not boot.

All of that is true, but by not having the phone screen on, and using tablet talk through bt, battery life is way better on my phone.
I guess it's different, if you are in another country where sms is more (included) in almost every data plan in the US.

I'll be looking into this
My first attempt at making this work is extremely ghetto but also works
The key reasons for doing this are to gain access to the Bluetooth "headset" profile, which I use to make my Motorola headphones also work for audio input (they have a mic on them). GrooveIP supports BlueTooth headsets, but under the standard P3113 stack the input isn't enabled...

}
And also to enable the normal Phone.apk, which gives you the native dialer and also makes it so you can "call" people by clicking on their numbers from the People app. If you don't have this you'll have to go to your third party app and then find who you wanna call, which is all around less efficient and integrated.
-EDIT-
This is what I get for posting from work, forgot to say what I actually DID! Thanks go to clubtech, who pointed out that the change is inside of framework-res.apk.
My solution was dirt simple: I found out about the trick in the first place because I flashed a P3100 ROM onto my P3113, cuz at that time there was no P3113 available.
This worked fine EXCEPT that the audio input isn't mapped right so your mic doesn't work.
My new "solution" was to steal the framework-res.apk file out of the latest 3100 CM10 ROM.
You can find the file inside the ROM @ <Root Of Zip>\system\framework
I used 7zip to pull the framework-res.apk from the 3100 7-29 zip, and then opened the 3113 7-29 zip in 7-zip, deleted the original framework-res.apk, and replaced it with the 3100 version.
The devices are close enough that this works.
The phone features are turned on and my mic still works.
There's surely a better way to do this, but it works for me for now
BTW, since the tablet ROMs don't include one, here's the "stock" Jellybean texting app, MMS.apk.
I pulled it from a Jellybean ROM for the Galaxy Nexus compiled 2 days ago.
Confirmed its working on my Tab.
I'm using the app GV Integration to make my GV texts show up like regular texts.
Why do this? Cuz it makes widgets and notifications and stuff that depends on the "native" SMS work as expected.
My main impetus for this was to make the XBMC controller app YATSE properly react to text messages
Just wanted to follow up on this, I found a relatively painless way to accomplish this mod.
Attached to a thread on XDA-Devs (where else!) is a really nice tool to make it very easy to n00bs like me to decompile and mod the framework-res.apk easily. This in turn makes enabling the "phone" stuff super easy
See the thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823701
The tool is called Framework Flasher 1.1.4 by Wes Foster (wesf90)
Hey Divinity,
It's great that you have shared what you achieved. I am about to buy this tablet.
Could you please make a step-by-step instruction of how to achieve this on the P3113 Tablet?
That would be greatly appreciated. I am a noob so your instruction will be very helpful for me.
Thanks in advance.
Its hard to know what degree of "noob" you are.
To be messing around with making these sorts of modifications, you'll need to at least have rooted your device.
In lieu of that, be aware that there are lots of solutions that involve simply using apps from the marketplace. I actually don't even use this solution anymore, mostly just Google Voice. The Google Voice integration app I posted about doesn't really work the way I'd like, so instead I've been just piping "everything" through GoogleTalk instead.
There's a free web service called GV Max that lets you connect your Google Voice phone number up to your Google Talk account (among other things), allowing you to send / receive SMS messages within any GoogleTalk client. I frequently use this so I can text people from my computers very easily (since I pretty much always have a chat program running). I've been using GVMax off and on for a couple years now, and its pretty great
Occasionally I use Groove IP if I "have to" receive an incoming call on my tablet. Other than that, the stock Google Voice app allows you to make calls without it being a big deal.
All that said, the process of doing the mod is easy, and the thread I linked to contains a step-by-step guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823701

[APP][4.0+] BB Notifier

BB Notifier is a software suite that notifies you about incoming phone calls or messages-notifications from phone apps. It shows messages on your home computer every time you have incoming phone call or notification. All the notifications shown on phone will be shown on PC.
It may be quite handy if you leave your phone in a bag or at another room often.
Messages are sent to your home PC via WiFi, they are encrypted. Messages are only sent when your phone is connected to specified WiFi network (other networks will be ignored).

Talk about using technology to solve a problem that doesn't exist. If you have to remember to connect WiFi (needed by the app), why wouldn't you just teach yourself the habit of leaving your volume ON, if you can't bear to miss anything?
If you're waiting for a call/text/whatever, you'll remember to have your notifs ON, if you're half sharp. What if you use 3G/4G and don't have Wifi?
pointless.
I definitely like it. Good idea and probably wasn't too difficult to code. But I just wanna say.... Google Voice. Sorry, had to put that out there.
If it did this with texts and allowed me to reply that would be more useful. Newer phones support Bluetooth so the house phone rings when I get a call. Text messages would be a lot more convenient IMHO. But thank you for making this.

You may be on your computer listening to music with your headphones on and your phone on a surface that absorbs the vibration (has happened here). So you miss the call/txt/whatever.
No, it's not pointless. And for people spending a lot of the time on the desktop sounds quite useful. Remember, your needs aren't everybody else's needs.

1. Port is blocked by PC firewall - you may try to add exception to it or temporary disable it for test (temporarily!!! just for test, then enable it back).
2. Check that you've typed password and SSID key (WiFi network name where phone is connected to) properly. You should pay attention to capital and small letters.

SSID is the name of WiFi network where your phone is connected too. You can check it in you phone WiFi settings. This parameter is an additional protection against data leaks - if your phone will automatically connect to some other network (free WiFi network in restaurant, for instance), it will not send data about your calls.

You must install x86 MSVC 2013 redistributable pack to run this application! Pack x64 does not help....
But it does not work, I don't know how...Everything typed correctly...
EDIT: The problem was in ssid, even so it was typed correctly. It works with general ssid... I don't know if it is publicable so if you have same issue write the author...
i dont get the server address part
can anyone tell me about it
thanks
Similar problems here, can't receive TEST MESSAGE.... Windows 8.1 x64
Everything seems to work (both server and client), Windows Firewall disabled since day one, Kaspersky temporary disabled, SSID written correctly, and new generated password perfectly written on client.

Server Address is the IP address of you computer. But it is referred to the IP your computer has INSIDE YOU HOME NETWORK, not the one you get from your ISP to get outside on the internet. To see what's your PC's IP address, have a look into the details (or properies) or your WIFI connection in Windows (if you are cable connected to your router, check details of your LAN connection in Windows)

Enter the name of your WIFI network. This is to let your phone know that it has to send notifications only when it's connected to your own WIFI network.
Never mind if your PC is connected via ethernet cable or WIFI, the important thing is that you have to tell Android that the SSID you want to use, is the one generated by the router where you connect with your PC as well.

If it cannot send message for no reason, please try to enter #anyID# in the SSID field. For some reason (yet unknown) sometime phone gives incorrect SSID name. I cannot reproduce it here, but I'm working on it If this trick would work, I would really appreciate if you send me your SSID (as private message) - that would help me to detect the problem.

Server address is IP address of your PC where BB Notifier Server is installed (where you want to receive notifications). In most cases your can use your PC name instead of IP, but this is not 100% reliable method (that depends on your network settings).
You can check your PC name if you right click on Computer, then choose Properties.
You can check your IP in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, choose proper network interface there (the one that is used for internet connection, in most cases, there will be only one there). There, click on "Details" and look at IPv4 address. Another way is to type "ipconfig" in command prompt and check IP address in the output.
