If You Can't Figure Out How To Get Data, Message Me And I Will Do It For You. A Tip Would Be Appreciated But Not Required.
These rom's are meant for people who are on MetroPCS. Please don't use them if your sprint or anyone else. These roms have everything working from boot and should keep on working for aslong as you have your phone =D. I've made a couple different flavors of roms. Default HTC Sense, AOSP CyanogenMOD, and MIUI. Try whichever you like =D.
Here is a Completely Detailed How To on how to Provision your phone for data and mms.
MetroPCS Data and MMS Provisioning Guide
Instructions For MetroDroid
1. Copy Zip to SD
2. Boot Into Recovery
3. Flash MetroDroid
4. Reboot
5. Enjoy! =D
Rom will Wipe DATA and SYSTEM so if u have anything you need from your current apps be sure to back it up =P
Instructions for MIUI or AOSP Scripts
1. Copy Zip to SD

this is probably not the kind of post you want on your thread, but can you share the settings you used to get "everything" working?
right now i can receive MMS (with wifi off) but can't send out. K9 mail receives and sends email only over wifi. everything else (market, facebook, web, texts, etc) work on data network.
i have way too much put into this rom to consider flashing for a while, that's why i'm not flashing yours.
a reply here or via private message would be great!
well if you use dsixda's kitchen first thing you want to do is go to advanced options and add use option 17. then go into /system/etc/ and make a folder called init.d then unzip my rom and copy the 08metropcs in the same location and rename it to 01metropcs and place it in your init.d folder that will give data automatically also go into the bin and copy u2nl and then go into xbin and copy sqllite3 and place it in their respective folders. Now to get the mms app to default to having 500k max message settings go into /system/customize/MNS/ and copy default.xml and place it in the respective folder if your using the latest OTA as a base just use these files from my /system/app folder and put them in yours
htcMessageUploader.apk, MediaProvider.apk, MediaUploader.apk, Mms.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk, UploadProvider.apk,
VVM.apk, WifiRouter.apk
and that should let your mms work fine in the default app
and thats about it i think
well actually one more thing but it actually depends on the rom your using as a base
also depending on the email i get a few to work for gmail it works fine on 1x, yahoo mail with the yahoo mail app from market lets it work fine, hotmail is the only one i havent gotten to work yet but you could just go online for that i guess
doing it right now... lets see how it goes...
I just installed it and i don't have WEB or MMS plus my network still searching...
what could be that problem?....
have your setup your phone correctly? cuz if not data nor mms will never work im using it on my phone and it works just fine on first boot
plus your phone has to be on metropcs cant be on sprint. a rom wont make your phone to metropcs unless your phone is in their database
i still got no signal it says ANALOG B...
I think im....
If you have MSN or Yahoo messenger pls let me know.. so you can explained detail by detail...
I will rlly appreciated...
Ok first is your phone on MetroPCS or is it on Sprint? Also if it is on MetroPCS has your phone setup correctly?
My phone its under metropcs network....
Setup correctly you mean?... now that signal came back...
& i keep getting this error...
DATA CALL FAILURE
Error code 67. registration failure. Your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again...
mmmmmm What i need to do to fix that...
yea your getting that because your phone is not programmed correctly and if you dont have any experience in this it will prob be hard for you. Im going to right up a guide in a few days to help people out with this so for now you just have to live without mms and web. you should still recieve phone calls and regular messages but til you program the phone correctly you wont have mms or web
ok thanks
Im trying to help out a friend because he has metro and he bought a evo so what i got to do after i flash the rom thanks
remember to make a rom for the incredible as well!
guys u have to flash your phone to metroPCS first you cant just put a rom on it and bam your done. Later today ill write up a guide so sit tight
Error 67
My evo phone was flashed for revol wireless and I have the same issue. I have put all the proper network settings in, rooted, Installed a new rom.
Whn it attempts to connect to web and mms all I receive is error 67 also.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Does anyone have a preconfigured rom for revol?
for revol just go to the Droid Eris page and you'll find Tolken419 MetroPCS thread he has a script for it that you run in recovery and use autostart
Waiting on that GUIDE
I tried that script and I still get the same error 67 message message. Any other ideas?
thanks Again
ok here is the problem im running ultimate droid 3.3 on htc evo on boost mobile now question everything i read says to do the ##3282# brings nothing up and yes im rooted and have my msl code now what i do is ##3282# from phone and nothing then try send still nothing but failed call ive also tried the deleting the file in data data android.telephony fix and reboot nothing i can recieve mms but not send just sits there and does not go no error or this is to big everything else works flawlesss on this phone please help anybody.
I use the application MSL READER, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE MARKET IS FREE, and tell your password to ENTER ** 3282 *
You need a sense based ROM. AOSP roms such as CM 7 don't contain these menus. Nandroid backup and flash a sense rom.

if ##3282# doesn't do anything make sure your on a sense rom Using STOCK dialer,
if yes to both those and still nothin' search forums for and re-install EPST.apk

reboot and test mms
Just use apn backup and restore if you can't access epst
Thanks guys! This thread helped greatly!
Hello everbody! I want to know what is the best custom rom. Is Lumiatrix^7 4.1 Or RainbowMod v1.3?
Another thing Lumiatrix^7 4.1 is an update of Lumia^7 v3?
Which of these do you want?
Sorry for my poor english...
Hi there...
I have tried them both on my Lumia 710, and in my opinion RainbowMod v1.3 is the best!
Lumiatrix^7 4.1 rom seems to have a few bugs.
I started out with Lumiatrix^7 4.1 rom but ran into some "strange" things and a few bugs almost right away so I desided to flash the RainbowMod v1.3 rom instead. Now everything is working fine on my phone and I have not found any bugs.
hi. I've had a Rainbow Mod 1.3 installed some time ago. In general it was working pretty fine except: I couldn't configure MMS messages (the problem is very common for Lumias, can be fixed by installing and using the Network Setup app but I failed to install v1.6.0.0 from 4pda (doe to some error) and it is absent in Marketplace). This was critical for me and I decided to update. Moreover the newer core was released but Tolik (RM author) wasn't ready with new update to RainbowMod so I decided to try the Lumiatrix7_v4.1. The update was fast and successful. I had to re-link all my contacts with the facebook and linked-in contact list again (btw, does smb. know how to avoid that?) and reinstall some of the apps. People are saying about better operational speed... being hornest I didn't notice that. I am missing some useful tools in Lumiatrix e.g. ActiveSync, Operation list linked to the Search button BUT I have managed to get my MMS working now! So I am kinda happy :laugh:

How did you get the mms to work? Was it through the network setup 1.6?

Did network setup app 1.6 come with your rom or did you install it by itself? Also, can you access the mms settings in the network setup 1.6 app?
I can't find it on xda so let me know if you got it off the rainbow rom preinstalled or if you downloaded and installed it from separately
Hey there, first post and the search function wasn't working so if this problem has been posted elsewhere just let me know.
I just flashed the Sept. 28 AOKP for the A2 along with 4.3 GAPPs and everything seems to be working swimmingly...
Except the mobile data.
I've enabled and disabled data, enabled and disabled airplane mode. Reflashed the firmware and GAPPs and still the data doesn't seem to want to work. I'm getting 5 full bars and for whatever reason it just won't connect.
Anybody else had issues like this?

You have to manually put in the APN 's for the ROM
Goto system settings mobile networks Access Point Names and manually input the settings depending upon your carrier the setting will differ...
Google your carrier specific APN settings and input them it should do the trick....:laugh:

Q&A for CyanogenMod 12.0 for Photon Q
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for CyanogenMod 12.0 for Photon Q. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
So far so good for CM12, everything runs really smooth. Only issues are the default text app send button is grayed out and won't let you send but using Google messenger app it works fine. Is there any reason to why the send button wouldn't work?
LTE seems to work well but visually every now and then it seems to disconnect/reconnect but functions fine. And just a quick/dumb question which CDMA subscription should we use, RUIM/SIM or NV as I found info on RUIM/SIM but couldn't really find much on the definition of NV.
I really wanted to know that everybody has no problem at all in logging in Google+ with the latest version of its client.
I'm having trouble the most recent one that I can download from Play Store, : v5.1.0
I had to restore the backed up version of v5.0
I recently got the multimedia dock for this phone and I've noticed that some things don't work. None of the USB ports on the dock seem to interface with the OS, but any peripheral connected by a USB OTG cable (while not in the dock, of course) works just fine. Also, the device doesn't seem to detect that it is in a dock at all; I have it set to daydream when it's docked, but nothing happens.
Does anybody else have these issues? Is there a known or planned solution?
Thanks!
Hei just another quicky:
I had problems with twrp unable to mount /data on encrypted phone. I was never asked for passphrase also it did not detect data was formated as f2fs and assumed ext4.
After factory reset I reformated data and cache to f2fs again (as I think the performance gain is real) and cleanflashed latest cm12 nightly + gapps.
After setting up my phone it became slugish fast again, also battery did drain fast (also the phone did get real hot)
My circumvention so far is limiting Background processes to 2 within Dev options. Since then phone stays much cooler, everything works as expected normal cpu usage shows 2.5/3.2/3.5.
Before that phone was sometimes at 12/9/8 or so and thus bekame unresponsive/sluggish.
Does anyone know the standard count of background processes? Form Q?
Since i did not discover any strange behavior/lags since i switched to only 2 backgroundprocesses anyone knows what kind of usage could result in problems with lower backgroundprocesses?
Thanks in advance!
CM 12.0 nightlies I/O and issues
So I switched over to CM12 because of the ability to switch the filesystems to f2fs. And so far I have seen a pretty decent improvement in the response, speed, and general performance with CM12.
A few issues have come up though:
CM nightly 03232015
-the cLock widget just randomly stopped functioning. Worked for a day or two, then stopped working. I wasn't able to set the alarm and clicking on the time on the home screen does nothing. Disabled cLock and am using the default Deskclock instead (I need to be able to set alarms).
-the messaging app was not working correctly... I was able to receive texts but the send button was greyed out and would not let me click on it. This is both over Wi-Fi and 3G and 4G LTE. Had to revert to 8sms that I was using on CM10...
-the themes are applied inconsistently... not all apps or system dialogs are themed when I use ThemeDIY to create/apply my own theme.
-equalizer doesn't seem to make a big difference...
-doesn't seem to remember wifi logins... keep getting the "sign in to wireless network" notification (I've already signed in)... the sign in page does not open in Chrome, but rather a separate browser or system page that won't offer to save my password (though it does autofill the username)...
-weird issues using adb... even though I've authorized the computer, and have root access on the phone and am running adb root, it won't let me write to certain parts of the file system (I couldn't adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip error was "read-only filesystem")
I know it's a nightly, just wanted to see if anyone else has these same issues and to make sure the developers are seeing this. For the record, I did a wipe and format (since I was going to change the file system,) and this is a clean install of both TWRP and CM12.
Thanks!

I didn't know what to use either so I left it on NV. Haven't noticed a difference in signal or call quality or anything. I am guessing since we're on Sprint and there is no SIM card that RUIM/SIM won't work?
Im am currently running on NV too, but with german sim.
To the other problems you have, I don"t have those. Sms works. CLock works, alarms work... I am running without any themes just switched the stock trebuchet launcher to apex. I am also on f2fs.
I also would like to know the difference between NV and RUI/SIM, and which one should be preffered with simcard mod.

I can't speak to the RUI/SIM issue but I don't know how to switch themes off. As far as my SMS and cLocks idk it is possible that I disabled the wrong app I don't like to run more then the bare minimum. As for the theme I ended up downloading a dark theme from the app store which is wonderful looking!! It is called Nicholas' Dark Material. In case you're looking for dark like me.
Do you have issues with the gallery or camera? I think I saw somewhere on the xt897 forum a link to motorola's camera and gallery apps... are you able to change the save location for pictures or no?
I also had an issue where the navigation bar does not render right when I watch full screen video in landscape mode. May have to do with me forcing GPU render under developer options. I'd take it off but I can't remember how I got there lol

I cannot set the custom color for notifications in CM12... but there is a post that says the colors were retained on an upgrade from CM11. Well I wiped and did a clean install rather than an upgrade so is there an .xml file or a settings I can edit? I'm comfortable with file manager and editor and adb and shell...
CM 12 update
I have a simple question so if I am not asking it in the right place, I apologize.
If I do one of the CM12 updates (the nightlies) through the Update in the Settings Menu on my phone, does it wipe the phone? Or does it only update relevant system files and keep my apps and data??

If you only apply the update, it will not wipe the device. You would have to wipe it manually in recovery. It will apply a so-called "dirty flash" as you are not wiping any partitions.
CM12-->CM12, should be fine. Of course before you report any issues try a clean flash (or if it's a single app FC'ing, try clearing data on that single app).
I'm having tons of trouble using this with Sprint.
When I lock it to CDMA and/or EVDO mode, Logcat shows that it's trying to connect using a C Spire APN. If I lock it in LTE-only mode and select Sprint APN, it gets a good data connection. The APN menu is foolishly disabled for CDMA/EVDO so I cannot correct the issue. Why is it trying C Spire? How can I fix 3g and MMS settings to work?
CM11 worked great in all conditions, and MMS worked out of the box.
I'm trying to flash CM12 on a FreedomPop device and I'm getting the message "This package is for device: xt987,asanti_c; this device is asanti". I was able to flash CM11 from the nightlies page but no luck with CM12 nightlies nor with the CM12.1 that was posted here on XDA.
Any help to flash CM12 on this device? :good:

In the short term you can change the meta-inf file in the update.zip and change the assert line to allow asanti.
In the future, the CM maintainer probably needs to update the source to allow your device... odd that it worked in CM11 but not 12 tho.
Are you going from CM11 to CM12? Even if you clean flashed.

Thanks for the tip!
First I tried to flash CM12 directly but got the error. Then decided to try with CM11 and it worked so I hoped it would work to update to CM12 but got the same error again.
Just to double check I'm not doing it wrong, this is what I tried to flash:
CM12 (Failed): http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/107228/cm-12-20150417-NIGHTLY-xt897.zip
CM11 (Success): http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/100850/cm-11-20150216-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
What I understood by reading around is that for CM12 I should use the xt897 file even though it's differently named than the CM11 one (moto_msm_8960_jbbl).
Can you please confirm that I'm using the correct CM12 one?
Thanks

Yes, that's the correct one.
The CM maintainer clearly states the reasoning in the CM12 thread:
kabaldan said:
Please note:
In CM12, the Motorola 2012 msm8960 device line has been de-unified again, so moto_msm8960/moto_msm8960_jbbl builds are dead from now on.
Please check the xt897 device link for new Photon Q builds.

Adjusting the meta-inf to check for "asanti" instead of "asanti_c" worked perfectly. Thanks for your help!
Now I have to find out why after I flash gapps I start to get multiple crashes related to Google Services and Google Apps.
Edit: Well, just in case someone face the same problem in the future. I updated to the latest TWRP recovery directly from their webpage (initially I used Rashr app) and that solved all my problems, including the initial error when flashing CM12 nightly.
