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

[XAL2]

Precisely. You don't need to wipe cache or anything, I assume.

Fantastic.

 

[XAL2]

I would like to nominate this thread for a sticky.

I second this

Neither pacman nor aokp are without issue. pacman gives me reboot/bootloops until i clear cache, and lockscreen shortcuts don't stick.
aokp won't stop telling me i have a voicemail. only ran the rom for about an hour before that became too annoying.

Flashed the themed version and MMS still doesn't send. You only have to flash, correct? Running Dirt AOKP 3.5.2

Same problem. I flashed the "Stockthemed" ontop of Dirt AOKP 3.5 (Inc 3.5.2) and I can receive MMS, send and receive texts but can not send MMS.

Tried stock, chomp, hancent all over 3g and wifi.

Exactly, me too! I received my friend's MMS just a little bit ago, and then I tried sending and it would just get stuck on sending. I thought I was going crazy, cause others said that they could send and receive on Dirt AOKP. How are you guys doing it?

Dumb question: Will the Themes on the first page work with Sense/Senseless ICS ROM's i.e. MidnightROM or Mobster ROM?

very dumb question, those roms have mms working already

Works with PACman ROM for me.

Have you tried the manual method in the OP of wolfu's thread to see if that works for you. He was using Dirt AOKP when he discovered the fix.

I like the look of them and was curious as if I was to replace what I currently have visually.

This is working for me in Dastins latest CM10.

1. Download and place this file in /etc
   
2. Set permissions to rw-r--r--
   
3. That is a build.prop that has all the settings from the post in the OP (No need to go in and change the mmsc as I have done it for you). After installing. Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete the following:
   • mmssms.db
   • mmssms.bd-journal
   • telephony.db
   • telephony.db-journal
4. Reboot your phone.
   
5. Open Voice Dialer
   
6. Say "open apn's"
   
7. Select it and and press the dot on the right hand side where it says Sprint.
   
8. Reboot again
   
9. Profit

ok im kind of confused here. to download we must right click the link and click save link as, correct? now to install this do we copy whats in the downloaded xml to the existing xml or completely overwrite the existing xml?

Wow.

Wow.

didnt know being unsure was a crime. thanks for the help tho.

For whatever reason the APN reverted itself for me. If you go into Voice Dialer and say "Open A-P-N" and go into the "Sprint" APN, the MMSC SHOULD be "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" but reverted itself to sprintpcs for me.

If you change it back to "http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" and hit Menu and Save, I was able to send MMS without issue.

 

[ramjet73]

In fairness to you, the file was described in the instructions as build.prop, which is in the /system directory, when the downloaded file is actually apns-conf.xml and belongs in the /system/etc directory, so you had a reason to be confused.

And yes, it's always better to ask if you're not sure.

[mysticalnyte]

I get a message that says: "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."
Worth a try though. BTW, I'm on MobsterROM HD.

 

[ramjet73]

I flashed the stocktheme version of the zip file on AOKP 3.5.2, then booted into Android and checked the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and it still showed the VM settings. But when I used voice dialer to "open apn's" the sprint settings showed, so there must be a difference between the one being used by the system and the version in /system/etc.

While reviewing the version in /system/etc I noticed the following comment:

<!-- This version must agree with that in apps/common/res/apns.xml -->

That may be the reason why the current version of the zip file isn't working.

I'll update the zip file to copy the same xml file to that location and see if that fixes it.

Running PACMAN rom. I can confirm this works!!!

1.-Flash one of the MMS apps from the first page.
2.-Change the APN setting according to the XML file.
carrier="Sprint"
mcc="310"
mnc="120"
apn="Sprint"
user="Sprint" server="*"
password="*"
mmsc="http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?"
authtype="3"
Reboot
Works.

FYI: Most of the settings were aplied by the ZIP flash. Except for the mmsc setting.

This is strange since I took the apns-config from AOKP 3.5 to begin with. If you don't figure it out, i can have a look tomorrow. We may just need to edit the script to install to both locations. I have a feeling the user below is getting the same error if that is the case. Thanks for all the support you offer ramjet. I see you on every forum I frequent helping out. Definitely appreciated by many.

If ramjet or someone else doesn't figure this out tonight, I will try to fix this tomorrow.

I think I figured out what we need from lens' MMS apk for our MMS to work, cause I know have MMS on jb miui. Its the mms-config in the app itself. I broke both down and changed em out.

Mind posting it for us?

The how to or the apk. If its the apk, you'll have to give me min.

You install and set apns like on the other ROMs.
