Yessss finally!!!

[bubbl3]

Nice Paolo, this will really help international users

[LiveMoto]

Paolo, there is a proposal to issue a separate patch for your cyanogen, consisting of applications Phone and MMS, which are taken from the firmware YiOS. There's a choice of sim implemented to call or send messages. It is very convenient. Please see that this can be done.

[PaoloW8]

taken from YIOS you mean the apk or there are the source code ?

[LiveMoto]

Ofcouse, apk and lib.

[bubbl3]

Ofcouse, apk and lib.

Source code would be much better as Paolo could just implement the needed code changes.

[PaoloW8]

Ofcouse, apk and lib.

is not a good idea
the cyanogen team working on sources codes constantly (every day adjust, add, remove things)
a precompiled system apk may stop working at any time
