Root [ZIP] MMS FIX FOR CM/AOSP/AOKP (THANKS wolfu)

So I deleted the mms.apk from system/app and edited the lines out. Upon trying to flash the new zip im getting an error saying:
"Error in /sdcard/Download/CM10MMS with MmsFix+cache.zip"
"(Status 6)"
"Installation aborted"

Status 6? That's a syntax problem. Could you open the updater-script in CODE tags for me so I can see if I can figure out the syntax issue, please?

No worries. GIve me a few minutes and I'll see what I can bake up here...

Edit:

How big is the zip while on your SD card? I know if you eject it too early it'll do that.

Edit 2:

and try this in your updater-script:

Code:
ui_print("MMS Fix for Virgin Mobile");
ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

ui_print("Extracting new files...");
# copy system content to the system directory on your device
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

ui_print("Fixing Permissions...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/Mms.apk");

ui_print("Unmounting system...");
unmount("/system");

ui_print("Mounting data..");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");

ui_print("Deleting telephony database...");
delete("/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db");
delete("/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal");

ui_print("Unmounting data...");
unmount("/data");

ui_print("Installation complete!");

Edit 3: Make sure after flashing, wipe cache/dalvik cache.

Weird...I JUST flashed it and it worked with that script...You copied the new zip with that, right? Not just updated the one on your SD Card? I think its a bad copy...So re-download...make that your updater-script...cop yto SD card and flash again

Oh! I was using the old zip and just updating it. I will update a new zip and get back to you.

EDIT: Upon flashing I'm getting another error now, status 7...

This post pertains to S2 users. I know its in the Evo V thread, but someone came here to ask. V users, do NOT flash this. As I am NOT responsible for bricks that occur.

Flash, try MMS. If it works, sweet. If not I have a few other ideas...

Open voice dialer, say Open A-P-N-S. Make sure the right APN is there.

Then go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with a file explorer that allows root exploring. Delete telephony.db and telephony.db-journal. Reboot. Try again.

That's the best I can do, really. So I hope it works for you!

Edit: And for kicks and giggles, after deleting those two files, go to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik-cache. Couldn't hurt.

Thanks so much! I'm downloading it now and will report back to you as soon as I get it up and running.

Is this for everyone? or just miui users?

The settings will not stick, sadly. You'll have to patch them manually every time I believe. Only update though if its a serious one. If you don't need it, don't update!

Glad I got it working, though!

Okay, the ROM seems pretty much full featured and I haven't run into any problems with it so probably won't have to update for a while. Really glad that you could get it working for us. I know a lot of people will be switching over to Paranoid Android because you got it working. Thanks from all of us! :D
