Touchpad 4g text messaging

rjt830 · 01/01/2013, 04:38 AM

Is it possible to get text (sms) messaging to work on the 4g without tethering to a phone? For example could the messaging app be extracted from a Pre phone and installed on the Touchpad?
Happy New Year.

Technically you could extract the 2.2.4 messaging app, give it a new app-id so it doesn't overwrite the stock TP one and install it. Not sure you can send SMS then though. Never bothered with SMS on my TP 4G to be honest.

There is 'restriction' in TIL library (on Touchpad) preventing SMS sending/receiving - ie you not only need patch JS code but also native arm code.

Modem/firmware is perfectly capable of sending/receiving text messages; If you have phone capable of sending Class 0 messages (FlashSMS) you can test it yourself - just send Class 0 SMS to yout TP and will be displayed as notification popup. If you send regular message it will be received by device BUT TRASHED AWAY by TIL (you can see all relevant info in til.log file)

Can a patch for the JS code and the native arm code be created and implemented? Or is a complete recompile necessary?

Theoretically you should be able to byte patch the compiled arm code. It will probably only require a few bytes to be patched. Similar way is/was used for cracking regular pc programs to allow any registration code in order to register for example. I made some of these myself in the past ;-) A good disassembler for ARM and understanding of assembly should do the trick probably. I doubt that the binaries have some checksum inside. If somebody has some pointers where to look for the TIL binaries and the exact entry in the logfiles I might have a look sometime next week :-)

This sounds promising - thank you for taking the time to investigate further.

I have Android installed and it works very well but I find that I use WEBOS most of the time as it ticks all the boxes for me (Except the ability to text) SMS capability would make it complete!

Just wondered if anyone had played around with this yet?

If someone can send me the log of a rejected SMS by TIL I could have a go at this...

I'm sure the OP is aware, but text messaging works in android on a 4g touchpad. Its one of the only things I actually do with android on my 4g..well, that and google currents and play Max Payne!

Seems like the message is called from usr/lib/libTelephonyInterfaceLayer.so

I'll have a look into it in more details to see if I can patch it somehow

Any progress in sms for webos on the 4g?

You should be able to send and receive txts with google voice.
