Sorry just to be clear. You work on the framework but not the base/telephony part of the framework? Is there anything in the framework that allows an application to replace or override part of a framework classes functionality? I know it is unlikely but figured it is work asking. The following class is one i would love to override or intercept or something like that \base\telephony\java\android\telephony\gsm\SmsManager.java
Would you happen to know anyone that could help or answer my questions? I know you most people don't like to be contacted directly or asked questions directly but maybe you could ask them to have a look at this thread? Thanks for the info so far. It has not exactly been what i want to hear but it is still very useful and it is sounds more and more like i want to do the impossible. :( Just my luck.
