Dirty flash, clean install, flash APN fix, what is your messaging app, etc.? The more info you can provide the better.

sorry ran home on my lunch break, downloaded it, ran back to work and flashed as i sat down at my desk lol. I did a dirty flash from M2. i wiped cahce only, i did not wipe data, dn flash gapps of course. I did flash the apn fix. since then i have went back to recovery, did another dirty flash and did not flash apn fix. still using stock sms app which is what it was working on prior to flashing m3. let me know if you need any other info, and i wanna say im not complaining, just feel like im sooo close i can taste it.

Main thing I would suggest is try something other than the stock messaging app. Hangouts has been getting better and better, and I personally use EvolveSMS with no issues. Plus, Evolve has the APN's for Boost and Virgin Mobile built in, just select from the Settings function within the app. If push really comes to shove, maybe a clean install. Also, no need to wipe anything on a dirty flash, the ROM itself will take care of what it needs (notice how all your apps undergo the "Android is updating" message after a dirty flash just like when you wipe Dalvik?).

Yes i did notice that. okay ill try it. i dont mind the clean flash, problem is i use google books and have a nice sized library and it takes forever to restore all my books back after a clean flash. like 2 hours.

so i just noticed the bottom of my status bar pull down says virgin mobile. did i download the wrong .zip file for M3? any way to find out. did you create one for virgin and boost?

 

[BRAINZ2013]

Do u have signal did the device bootloop . if not maybe its the build dot prop that needs editing

 

[BRAINZ2013]

I didn't read the thread its a custom ROM u need to edit the prop

I swapped out an xml file to make the carrier show as Virgin Mobile instead of Sprint. Shouldn't be affecting your signal or MMS I don't believe, but I could be mistaken since I don't have the Boost version. If you want I can get you a copy with the original Sprint file.

Id have to say its your call. No big deal if you dont think it affects mms. i just saw that and figured id goofed something up.

I will put up another copy just in case. The file I swapped out has nothing to do with APN's or anything, it just mainly saves the VM users the step of changing the carrier label if they don't want to. Give me a few minutes and I will link you a more "generic" copy of the Snapshot build.

Not a problem at all. all this is possible for me because of you so i dont want to assume or rush you with anything. Its honestly your call buddy.

All right, this version is still modified and debloated except it has the original XML file that I replaced in the first version.

Okay so I came home from work and did a restore of a cm11 m2 build from last week with MMS working. Then I downloaded the file in the previous post you uploaded, rebooted into recovery flashed that and the APN fix zip, this time i didn't wipe a thing in recovery. I rebooted and didn't have MMS. Did a restore again and flashed the file in the previous post. Got MMS working. Don't know if it's the APN fix. Kinda weird.

Definitely weird. I have had the APN fix "stick" through all dirty flashes on KitKat, I only have to reflash it when changing ROM's entirely. Glad to hear you're up and running though!!

The new AOSP DKP kernel by Decimalman is working wonderfully with the CM11 M3 Build. I haven't had any issues with it at all today. It took some testing to get it dialed in for my phone and the way I use it but that's expected.

Well, the newest CM11 nightly is now d2lte.

Here is the article from their homepage:

[APOPHiS420]

Wow wonder if this means things will work as they should on our boost variants.

Some people have already flashed the d2lte Carbon builds, using the latest Philz, with no modifications needed. So hopefully yes!

 

[APOPHiS420]

I don't seem to be able to find it. Only see the 17th one.

Next nightly, so the one that will be built later today.

CM11 d2lte flashed using Philz without removing asserts.

CM11 d2lte flashed using Philz without removing asserts.

Same here. I updated to newest d2lte Philz, flashed d2lte Carbon and didn't have to remove ANY asserts.

This is good news fellas!
