I know for some the title is a little contradicting, but here is what I am looking for:

I would like to turn off calls and sms, and enable only mobile data (3g). Airplane mode is not good for this as it turns off mobile data. I have done this on an old windows mobile phone I used to have (motorola q) but I haven't found much info on android for this. I know some people have also asked the same question but no answer (link).

I have an Samsung exhibit 2, it's on gingerbread.

I am wondering if it isn't as simple as to replace the normal phone apks with the ones from a tablet (since tablets cannot make voice calls or sms) was anyone tried this? Maybe can point me to a place to try? I think the apks to replace would be the 2 being discussed here: How do I turn off the cellular radio without disabling bluetooth?

Thank you.

Tablets like Samsung Galaxy tab can make voice call and SMS. – roxan Jan 5 '12 at 8:55
Why don't you just use a call blocker? – Matthew Read♦ Jan 5 '12 at 17:12
Dazzle Configurable Switcher offers a separate button to disable radio. I never tried whether this leaves mobile data on (and currently have not installed Dazzle), but it might be worth a try. – Izzy Aug 11 '12 at 18:03
