To call just dial the number as usual. This App connect the call for free.
Note: Application force closes on gingerbread so i cant check it fully please try it and give a Reply
I am Sorry if anything wrong.
Thanks for your message, I'm actually one of the guys behind Voxtrot. You may have forgotten to say that we do provide free calling, but only if both persons are registered on the network.
Voxtrot was successfully tested on the Nexus S sporting Gingerbread, but never on a customized HD2, hence possibly the force quit issue.
Anyway I'm happily gathering feedback so if you have some, don't hesitate.
@romzzz
Thanks for your valuable Information and i also in same issue "Force Close"
anyway i hope someone will find a solution.
How it works? In europe too?
It's supprising how few people use sip at least those who own Razri. I found it very useful and money saving, especially when travelling.Unfortunatelly Razri uses proprietary phone.apk as a part of Motoblur and Motorola stripped off the entire Internet calling part from the application. It was the case in previous ICS and it remains in JB. Other manufacturers which opt for the similar solution use predictive way to remove android.software.sip.xml from the system and change sip value to false in framework-res.apk. But not Motorola. It obviously used more sophisticated approach. Both above mentioned files remains intact as far as the sip is concerned.
There is an application on the Google Play named Sipswitch which enable widget to enter voip credentials. In previous ICS you couldn't activate the connection. Suprisingly with JB the system accepts the credentials and communicates with the VOIP provider. And the SIP app appears as an extension of the Motorola Phone.apk. But unfortunatelly the SIP is not triggered though it is enabled. There is still the missing link remains. Is the failure result of the fact that Sipswitch is not the system application?
I'm aware that there are many SIP applications on the market. I tried most of them but with Razri they have voice issues. I have best experience with native Voip from previous phones. Does someone else plays with SIP or has otherwise useful advice how to proceed?

Nobody engaged with the SIP? OK, since I'm not a programmer I'm kindly asking developers to take a close look to the attached applications. The first is Motorola's Blur Phone.apk, the second is original ICS Phone.apk. My question is: supposed I root the phone, if I delete Blur Phone.apk and install the original one (which has SIP option included) into the system, do I solve the problem or this is not the appropriate method? Perhaps because of diferrent apk frames or something else? Or must I replace the appropriate (original) Contact.apk as well? Thanks.
Aw: [q] sip/voip
Hi, i have the same problem. I'd like to use my VoIP number with the standard phone app.
I hope that someone can help with this.

Hi,
I have same problem (ThL W8 phone JB4.1.2 with mt6589 cpu) great phone, but SIP capability has been crippled somehow. Its in the framework-res.apk and the other setup files are there, it seems to be in the code for phone.apk, but there is nothing visible in the menu's and the SIP tester app reports no sip or voip capability. I'd love to know what has been done and how to undo it. It seems somebody has spent quite a lot of time and effort hiding this capability and the only reason I can see is bowing to pressure from the 'airtime sellers'.
I hope someone will point us in the right direction and soon.

Well, you missed the forum, but regarding your problem it is not quite the same as here. If the SIP tester doesn't recognize the necessary conditions for SIP, you can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592890
Motorola as the most qualified phone company uses more sophisticated and dirty methods to screw its customers: the SIP tester does detect sip capability and all necessary files and settings are enabled. But the SIP part is simply stripped off from the core phone.apk.
If you don't dare to try the suggested method you could always use Keyyo voip which has been updated recently and works flawlessly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5rZXl5b21vYmlsZS5hbmRyb2lkLnZvaXAiXQ..

Hi,
Thanks, but the whole point of my posting is because all of the sip information in post 1592890 is already in place, everything looks as though SIP should work, but SIP tester doesn't recognise sip or voip capability and there is nothing in the menus. As for sip/voip apps yes there are countless of them good and bad, but this capability is built into Android and I want to be able to use it as I did on my old 2.3.6 phone. I'm just completely lost as to how to get it enabled.
So thanks, but really not much help so far.

If you have both files set correct (SIP enabled in framework-res.apk and xml) than you have virtually the same problem as it is with RazrI. The core phone.apk is rebuild in the manner that the sip part is stripped off. I prefer native SIP too, regarding my previous experience is the best, but I'm afraid that the only solution in our case is to get AOSP Phone.apk (or similar with SIP as CM) and reconstruct the framework-res.apk accordingly. I'm not the programmer, I'm not sure if it could be done with this method or the whole system is to be replaced with AOSP or CM since Phone.apk is a core application cross related with a lot of other stuff.
What you can try eventually is to deploy two apps: SipSwitch Widget and Zeynalov's Call Manager (Google Play). Sip Switch Widget enables inserting your voip providers credentials and Call Manager supposed to serve as sip trigger. For me the combination wasn't work and I doubt that it would in your case since in your case sip is even not recognised as existed. But it cause no harm to give them a try.
Just use this method, works for me:

Is it any possible to create your own secret code to show up some text or picture on wp8 and if It is, how?
You know what I m talking about, like when you type *#06# your IMEI will show up.
No. Most GSM short codes aren't even controlled by the phone OS at all, as far as I know. The handful of codes that are phone-controlled, such as the ones to install/launch various diagnostics apps, require more permissions to create or edit than we currently have access to.

Thank you.
When developing an application for desktop windows, there's always a way to access functionality - sometimes through back doors like the registry, etc... I'm developing an application for Windows Phone 8.1, but there are certain pieces of functionality that aren't exposed in the PRT APIset that is available to me. For example, we want to ensure that the user has password protection on the lock screen when using the application. There doesn't seem to be any associated APIs to readily use. So my question is, are there back door ways to do such things? How? Is there a way to access ALL system settings - like a registry or something of the like?

Another question would be - if something like intune can enforce lock screen password policies, shouldn't I be able to do it the same way that intune does it? If so, how? If not - why not?
It's not possible to check if user enabled lock screen password or not as far as I know
but if you want to made your app secure (because it may include important data)
you can create a password for your own application !
I did it in a little notepad app my password page allow user to set a password with all English and Persian Characters , numbers and special Chars like [email protected]#$ and etc.

It's pretty easy to check, using the registry, but at least in 8.0 that's not allowed at all for store apps (your app would get rejected). I don't know if the rules changed for 8.1. There are ways to sneak past the store checks, but they could pull your app from the store if they ever found out. I know of at least three ways to access the registry APIs (4 in WP8.1) and two of them are pretty hard to detect unless somebody checks for them specifically... but they're the kind of technique that malware uses, so such checks may be in place.
I don't know what InTune is doing, specifically - I'd need to pull the app apart to see - but there are special application capabilities (not normally available to third-party developers) that can query and even set policies. Apps without those capabilities will get Access Denied if they try to use the same methods though, and normally you can't add those capabilities to your app.

Thanks for this great and detailed information. See, that's exactly what I'd do if I were developing a desktop app - since i know that intune does it, I'd figure out how intune does it and voila. I'm finally getting over the idea that the same methodologies apply to windows phone development.
For my own educational purposes (since I want to understand this platform better), I would really like to know specifically how you go about accessing the registry APIs (for example). If there's any way for you to describe any number of these methods, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!
My NativeAccess libraries (check my signature, or search on the forum or on Codeplex) contain an example of one way to access the registry. The code is open-source; you may use the libraries as-is (don't expect to get them into the store, though I won't stop you from trying), use the source code as a reference, or modify/build them yourself; the license is very liberal (MS Permissive). The functions I use are generally documented on MSDN, in the desktop APIs section; the phone has the same functions, although the DLL names are changed and the header files hide them.
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.
