Sure does nutmeg and myself and a couple others have it working. If you have CM7 installed already just follow nettmeg's howto (he has a thread on it too) or if you are just installing CM7 feel free to use the link I provided until isaac updates his.

NOTE: Gapps will still need to be gotten from isaac's OP and installed.

CWM 3 will be needed to install the zip from my link.

Good, good. I just did a fresh install of Icarus because I was getting tired of dealing with no MMS. Oh well, one more flash couldn't hurt. Thank you to everyone who contributed!

EDIT: Finally got it to work. Again, thank you so much to everyone!!!

With mms working any reason not to flash I'm still running slow ass stock..

I uploaded a copy of the CM7-Ascend ROM with the mms fix applied and working. Only thing needed to make it work is:

1. Goto the app drawer and open Voice Dialer.
2. Say 'OPEN A P N', a box will pop up with MetroPCS and Cricket
3. Choose your carrier.
4. Edit the username and enter you # where it says 'yourphonenumber'.
5. Click menu and save.
6. Enjoy mms on 2.3.3 Gingerbread!!

isaac please feel free to use this to update your links, as I did nothing compared to the work you've done on CM7. I just thought this would make it easier for some of the newbies.

Note: All credit goes to isaac and all those who helped him bring us CM7 on the Ascend!!! All I did with nuttmeg's (nuttmeg figured it out) help was get it installed and made a backup and zipped it

CWM 3 will be needed to flash this zip.

CM7 with MMS Fix!

Gapps will still needed to be downloaded from the OP and installed.

Ok. So I flashed CM7, now. I am still in CWM. I have installed CM7 zip but when I go to install the zip for the mms ... it aborts. What to do?

if ur using my zip u dont need to flash the fix. its already flashed to

otherwise you have to downgrade CWM to 2.5.1.8 to be able to flash the fix. Hence why I did this to make it easier on you all

umm dumb? skeered? conservative? lol, its all a personnal perf, but its a no brainer to me lol

 

[PlayfulGod]

Oh and for those that just want to flash the unfixed rom, flash the rom n boot it at least once b4 u flash the fix, otherwise n there wont be any APN settings.

Im trying to flash your rom using cwm 3 but when i choose install zip it aborts, what can I do just flash back to previous cm7. I dont have a rom istalled currently because Im doing a fresh install and trying to use your zip but am having issues. maybe Im not wording myself right here...but I am getting kinda frustrated lol

orange, followed your directions for install

 

[PlayfulGod]

Yea it installs the original cyanogen mod fine but it aborts when I try and install your version

k I might have not flashed to CWM 3 like I thought lol. I will flash it back n back it up on CWM 3 n re-upload it. If you are aready got the setup to flash CWM 2.5.1.8 u may try that while I work on this.

Oh and sorry for the confusion, I'm taking of my dad who has stage 4 lung cancer thats spread to his bones, so I dont get much sleep.

No worries, understandable. I just wanted to to point out it did the same thing with 2.5 as well. I am not sure what the issue is but Its not a major issue I will just fix the apn info and flash the fix. No worries

 

[PlayfulGod]

Yup my zip is def'ly broken, looking into how to remedy it.

psst pip you have a PM :d

My fix download post is updated.

 

[nuttmeg]

Remember all if you are installing a fresh copy of cm7, make sure you let it bootup for the first time before applying the .zip file...

This is very off topic, but how do you turn off the shutter sound in the camera? I've looked everywhere and can't find anything.
