Root [Virgin Mobile] [MOD] Universal LTE Virgin Mobile APN Fix [WIP] CM/AOSP 4.4.x

jamesh0317 · Jun 4, 2014

Thanks! I have the mk5 modem. After flashing I have LTE when I should, the pulldown identifies "Virgin Mobile" and I can send and recieve MMS in both the stock CM11 messenger and Handcent.
EDIT: I can only send in the stock messenger app. I can send and receive in Handcent.

I am hoping that someone can help me with a build question. I would like to incorporate these fixes into my CM11 nightly builds so I don't have to flash both the ROM and the fix when I update the ROM. As far as I can tell I just need to replace the

/system/build.prop
/system/etc/apns-conf.xml
/data/eri.xml

with the ones from this zipfile prior to building. I planned on doing this with a script to do the following after I repo sync:

mv ~/staticfiles/build.prop ~/android/system/out/target/product/d2lte/system/build.prop

mv ~/staticfiles/apns-conf.xml ~/android/system/out/target/product/d2lte/system/etc/apns-conf.xml

mv ~/staticfiles/eri.xml ~/android/system/out/target/product/d2lte/data/eri.xml

brunch d2lte

However- there is no "eri.xml" in ~/android/system/out/target/product/d2lte/data. and if I 'find -name eri.xml' in the ~/android/system directory there are many directories that contain eri.xml, even in ~/android/system/out/.

I believe that this file only serves to make it say "Virgin Mobile" rather than "Sprint" in the pulldown, but I like that.

So, the question is: Where is the eri.xml that I need to replace prior to building CM11?

Thanks again, and hopefully this isn't a thread hijack. That was not the intent.

The default ERI.XML is compiled into framework-res.apk

You are able to send and receive in the stock messaging MMS in CM11??? I'm on DU and when I send a pic to myself, it sends but 5 mins later I get this

My bad. I can only send via the stock app. I can send and receive using Handcent. Thanks.

Ok well if we are in the sending and not receiving then that's a good sign... I know down in evo forum, we were able to send and not receive. So it's something within the MMS.apk. @mopedryer, have you ever taken a look within the mms-cfg of the stock mms.apk??? I know it has to be modified for virgin mobile use

Thanks MK. So, help me out. Should I edit ~/android/system/device/samsung/qcom-common/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml-mcc310-mnc120/eri.xml? Anything else?

Not being able to use the stock mms apk is why I'm still on 4.3

That, and the new black and white color scheme just sucks

No I haven't looked at the stock mms.apk yet. Im gonna upgrade to the latest TW and give it a roll first. Sending but not receiving (it gets a "HTTP error: Authorization Required") happens when you try to receive mms on the Sprint LTE network.

Ill have time in a bit so I may give it a try.

The Android 4.4 Samsung source for our device is available:
Samsung Opensource Release Center

Maybe poking around in there might help? Maybe not because it isn't VM specific, but it is what VM used, and I can't imagine they put lots of effort into anything ;-)

No because when it is downloaded. It's through the virgin mobile MMS config. So it has to be Virgin mobile related.

Darien153 · Jun 9, 2014

And I'm no text editor guy but that's what the 1 of the APN configs looks like in the stock aosp MMS

BEER3O · Jun 20, 2014

Sorry for the noob questions. I used to flash roms quite a bit before my EVO3D died. I've since gotten the SGS3 on VM. I've rooted it using odin3, knox_app_remover with the MK5_stock_deodexed rom and I have philz recovery. I recently decided to flash Liquid Smooth KK d2lte 6/18 nightly and really like the kitkat version. Data didn't work initially so I used Universal_vmu_ApnFix-v.R1 and I'm testing what works now. So far phone, sms, data are good.

Here are my questions:
1) I can't use the ##3282# to retrieve information from my phone like the EVO3D. Where do I find this info on my SGS3 phone like the mmsc and apn?
2) I sent myself a voicemail and I got a next notification (9016) but no icon. I'm fine with the text as it at least let me know I have a voicemail. However when I went to retrieve the voicemail by holding down 1, it connected me to a first timer using sprint mailbox. I'm on virgin so I hung up. Am I suppose to start using sprints mailbox? I'm afraid I'll get busted by virgin/sprint police if I do. Thoughts?

I would like to bring this to everyone's attention. I know I don't understand github well, but maybe someone who sees this can.

MopedRyder · Jun 21, 2014

Thanks - Ill take a look at it soon. See what I can come up with.

acewonders · Jun 21, 2014

Just posting to let people know that I used these settings with a klte build of CM11 on the Virgin Mobile Galaxy S5 and now have 3G and LTE Data flawlessly. Thank you MopedRyder.

raymix1000 · Jun 26, 2014

I get messages from 999-999-9999 with a bunch of gibberish when I flash this mod.

Does anyone else here get it?

You have an S5 rooted with a custom recovery running a CM11 build?

Yes its normal. The fix:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/417458b50576a2438b0ed5771a2015b08659a32d

Problem is I dont compile from source.

Merudo · Jun 27, 2014

I'm on Sprint network and I can't get LTE to work. I'm on CyanogenMod. Could this problem be related to mine?

Maybe I need to change the apn settings as well?

More info needed please. You have a Virgin Mobile phone & account operating on the Sprint network?

If so...then yes this is what the fix is for.

XAL2 · Jul 9, 2014

So will this fix really work for the S5?

It may, yes. I used universal mounts points (IE: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system) and not the phone specific for the purpose of others to try it.

If the original APN Fix seems to be working OK is there any advantage to flashing the custom version?

I flashed the custom version--but only because it sounded slightly more awesome.

Seems to work great for me...
