[HOW-TO] Get Cricket or Metro on MIUI or other ASOP ROM - EVO 4G Android Development

Here is the STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:
You need to have your eVo Rooted.. Like always I am not responsible for anything that you do to your phone. Period.
Big thanks to MIUI Dev Team, Bloody, Token, Triton, Ztahoez and anybody I am forgetting.
This will get Cricket or Metro working on MIUI or other ASOP ROMS.
If you want MIUI to work on Cricket or Metro follow these instructions. You can also use these same method for any ASOP ROM.
I use cricket and I am not on Metro so I cannot confirm this method works for Metro, but it definitely should.
CRICKET USERS
Step 1) First you need to change APN using APN BACK UP & RESTORE .. Install Apn backup and restore. Open Apn backup then delete Apns. Then restore the cricket.xml or metro file you saved.
Step 2) Download Bloody's ASOP mms web script zip .. Flash it from recovery. If you did it right you will notice mms app is now missing. But don't worry it will be replaced in the next step by a different one.
Step 3) Flash Token's cricket eris mms zip from recovery.. and waaallllllaaaahhhh
You will end up losing the original MIUI mms app but your phone will now have mms capabilities.

METRO USERS
You should only have to flash Bloody's zip and re-boot twice in order for it to work for you.

Good deal. Can you clean up the post some to include links to the files discussed (or links to their threads)?
Also, you might wish to add [HOWTO] to your title.

Nice post to bad you didnt link any of the files mentioned so its pretty much useless.

In all fairness, it looks like it was posted from his/her phone. However, yes as it stands it is near useless. You might be able to find something by searching, but links would make the post complete.

No offense to the poster this is great stuff just IMO I would have posted links so that others can give feedback and confirm or deny whether this works which I am sure it does.

Why are we left in the dark here. Can you post links to test to see if its working?

Roger!!!!!!!! sup yo, im sure it works but the OP I guess doesnt want to take the time to link the files nor does myself as I profit from this kinda stuff and I dont want the world to know. Also, everyone chimed in but no one posted links I wonder if they profit too.

what do u mean that when you flash my zip the mms.apk is missing....it shouldnt be atleast

It deletes the miui app .. so in order for it to work right I flash the cricket Eris mms zip. It replaces the missing apk.

thanks i will wait

you know what i think i get what your saying now lol but see mines does delete the mms.apk from MIUI but it replaces it with another one. and token419's cricket zip for the eris just loads the correct APN along with stuff for people who are not on the android plan. So i can actually make a AOSP fix for you guys now since i know whats going on lol

Hey Bloody, I know you said that the MIUI mms was closed source, but if you could get that one to work... that would be awesome. I really like that mms app.. I hope you like the write up and if you think I can improve anything here .. lemmeno

oddly enough i have a flashed evo to metro and i can flash any rom and my mms/web always stays i have never had to reflash the mms pack and i just put miui on

Speaking of Sense Roms, it has been said that the 3.70 Roms are pretty Cricket-friendly... No need to replace the MMS.apk.
BTW, thanks for the write-up and links. I have been wanting to try the VaelPak Rom, and this should make it possible.

Yea for sense roms.. all you change is the default.XML using root explorer then flash Eris zip .. and everything works on your eVo. It does not change the mms app.. it only gets your mms to work.

Files From an Actual Cricket Android Device

Hey all, New to this site as I am trying to learn how to get Androids from other companies working on cricket's network for my customers. (I work for a Cricket Premier dealer) Within a couple weeks cricket will be launching our first Android and I was wondering if any files etc.. from an actual Cricket Android device would be helpful to any of the developers here as I would be more then happy to post them if it would be helpful in getting full functionality out of flashed Androids.
Just let me know which files would be needed
how about the cricket apn from apn backup with of course username 0'[email protected] im using a touch pro with android but can not get wap/mms working.
does it have cricket clicks or whatever its called? (the app store i guess it is) post that. if it has it
yes...the whole rom in general would be great. but if not then cricket clicks, the APN, and the MMS.apk would be great.
Oh god, please don't let this be a troll!
Seconded on the ROM, APN and MMS.apk.
Also, any documentation would be helpful.
Post whatever you have and I'm sure someone will find it useful.
Thanks in advance (so long as you ain't trollin').

[MOD] Disable menu unlock for lockscreen.

This is a mod for the lockscreen so that the capacitive menu button is disabled for unlocking. This has been tested on Vanilla Lockscreens, but should work the same on HTC Lockscreens. This also has been tested on 3.29* based sense roms, unsure if it will work with other bases. If you have other fixes (i.e. reboot button change) you will overwrite that. Please post if you need me to upload a fixed version of that. Thanks goto ViRuS for the idea, and brut.all/jesus freke for apktool.
Instructions:
Download flashable zip.
NANDROID NANDROID NANDROID? did i miss something?
Reboot into recovery.
Flash zip and reboot.
That was easy wasn't it?
No more accidental unlockings!
Cookers/Developers: If this does not work for your rom, PM me and i can make individual flashable updates.
Rom users: reply to the thread with the base rom that it does not work on. I can find the base myself and make a list of updates.
Edit: It will take awhile to reboot, because i added a cache and dalvik-cache wipe to the update script.
Added mediafire mirror.

Just flashed on Fresh 3.3.0.1 and it took a while for the phone to reboot but it's working great. Thanks!
Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. This is very, very appreciated.
Would you be willing or be able to get to the bottom of the graphical glitches with the Vanilla lockscreen? I know it's plaguing more than one person, myself included.

Thank you in advance.
Just found a bug (and a pretty major one). It worked perfectly fine disabling the menu button unlock; however, it also FC'ed the HTC dialer, vanilla clock, and HTC gallery every time I tried to open them. Nandroid was my friend today. Not sure if this will happen with anyone else.

Fresh 3.3.0.1
Everything was working fine until I flashed this zip. Maybe I'm just the only one with a stubborn Evo. lol
i have been looking for this for the past few days. a couple of questions before i flash. does it work on stock rooted deodexed with a removed HtcLockScreen.apk? also what .apk have you edited, i have mods made to my framework-res.apk, wondering if they will be touched. Thanks!
EDIT: After flashing on Rooted Doedexed stock rom, it foze on the 4G boot screen. i did a battery pull and tried again... IT WORKS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
so, i'm new to android. does anyone mind giving me step-by-step instructions on how to do this to my fascinate? thanks.
I'm experiencing graphical glitches too on Fresh 3.3.0.1, unless the colors are supposed to be different.

You won't be able to use this hack on the fascinate, you'd have to have one specifically made for your phone i think.

You are correct from what i have seen, also, there is an easier way to do this, also i didn't think the Menu button even did that, sure hasn't anytime i have tried it, or maybe it's because i'm using sense.
I tried to flash this and did not work for me im rooted on evo with no custom rom I just don't like the slider oh and i used unrevoked if that means anything. Im new to this also any suggestions or did I just miss something?
ATM I have two choices: Vanilla Lockscreen with this fix or Reboot Menu. Can you implement your fix with this reboot menu?

I decompiled and compared these two services.jars and could not find common differences to combine and recompile the fixes myself. I don't think you want to give up your secrets and I am not a programmer. Unless you have tips so I can accomplish this myself.

I have actually paid to get my esn added to metros database (this is the easiest way otherwise you will encounter indefinite adverse opinions and it is plain annoying)....after u get your esn added to metro by either a metro rep or an authorized person or whatever, i followed blodykillersk' method and worked like a charm.....i am running gingerbread 2.3.3 and fully rooted .....

I got mine fixed. I'm gonna see if the guy that helped me will let me work on a .zip that you flash to your phone to get it to work. I tried everything too, but nothing worked. Do not do anything like use apn backup or anything like that. Let me just check with him to see if we can get a completely working zip. The one he gave me had to be tweeked a few times, so he just needs to work a few bugs.

Hey, Fdx, I appreciated all the effort you and everyone else put into trying to get it to work. You honestly have to make so many changes to so many different things that unless you had metro to test out the tweets, there's no way you would figure it out.

MMS fix for Virgin Mobile Epic 4g CM7 & CM9

First of all I would like to say thanks to the Cyanogenmod Dev Team for developing CM7 & CM9, thanks to the Epic CM7/CM9 Dev team for porting CM7 & CM9 to the epic, thanks to JerryScript for helping me find the necessary framework.jar changes, thanks to the Moto Triumph CM9 team for creating the needed file change, and thanks to Shinydude100 for writing the guide on how to port the Epic to Virgin Mobile.
This fix is for the Epic CM9 port, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473012
Here is the thread describing porting the Epic to Virgin Mobile:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404270
Attached to the bottom of this page is an CWM updater.zip for CM9, flash this after every CM9 update you install. If you do a wipe and restore your data flash this fix AFTER you restore your data as the fix deletes the telephony.db file from the data partition, which stores the APN values. This causes your phone to read the apns-conf.xml and write the correct Virgin Mobile values to the telephony.db on the next boot up.
Please report if you have any issues related to MMS or Virgin Mobile stuff. However if they are bugs related to the roms please post in the rom specific thread.

Epic CM7 7.2.0 RC2 MMS Fix (Will only work with 7.2.0 RC2:
http://www.mediafire.com/?avak7ybblao2344
If this fix helps you please drop me a thanks and if you can spare a few bucks please donate to the Epic CM9 developer fund: http://epiccm.blogspot.com/p/about-epic-cm.html
Also people please stop messaging asking will I fix this rom or that rom for you. No I will not! I only use CM9 and dont care about other roms. If you want MMS working on those roms figure out how to fix it yourself. You might learn something in the process.
First! This is awesome.

No problem. Glad its working for all you guys. Tomorrow I plan on putting together a flashable zip that should work with all the nightlies.
One question, did you solve the Dialer Code (ie. ##DATA#) issue that was found on the original Epic 4G CM ROMS?...to my knowledge this was still a no-go...
I wouldn't consider that a bug. More like just a missing feature. Plus one can still dial *#*#data#*#* to view data settings, just can't edit them. But just install clean gb, edit your settings, and flash to a cm rom. Problem solved.
Anyways I made no changers to either of these roms other than edit a couple Java and XML files.

OP, you may want to post a flashable mod, rather than a full ROM, to better keep up with changes upstream. The wholesale kang (beneath your changes) seems a bit unorthodox to me.

I agree. I plan on doing that for future updates. Also it would seem that for most updates there wont be any changes to the framework.jar and build.prop. And the apns-conf.xml will never change. Thought for the initial release would have a whole rom for people just to make things easy. Also I need to figure out how to make flashable zips
Also not trying to take credit for these roms. Hopefully people realize that in the OP.

There's really nothing to flashable zips - just need updater-binary and updater-script. For the script, study other examples.

Sorry can't help you, dont know anything about MetroPCS. My best advice would be to loot at a MetroPCS rom that has data working for another device and compare the files. Also make sure you programmed the epic with all of the correct settings.

I use to have my epic on a metro PCS rom. That was my company before i switched to Virgin Mobile.
The speeds aren't 3g, capped at 1x. And the battery drain for its outdated methods aren't worth having on your epic.
The "data" web/mms was with the use of scripts, and ip tables. It's a dead end, and there's a thread on flashing to alternative carriers for the epic, it has all the info i've known about MetroPCS on the Epic, as well as what another user knew. It's a BIG hassle to get it going on a stock rom, imagine trying to get it working on CM9?
You may be able to get it working, but if you do (whatever year that may be) it won't be worth it in the end because it'll cap at 1x speed, and it won't be worth all your effort in the end.
Thanks, but got it to working on cm9 alpha 3. Apparently the alternative carrier didn't work on cm9 alpha 0. I have internet working on stock rom and I know what you mean about the data speeds but only 3 carriers work where I live, at&t, verizon, and metro pcs. I would switch to virgin but I don't get service where I live. Thanks I appreciate the look out.
Now just gotta find out how to get mms working lol.

Fix for CM9 alpha 4 is up. If you download please post how it works for you and hit the thanks button.
Also I think I am not going to support CM7, because as CM9 gets better and better less people will use CM7. However if you guys want I can post one last CM7 build for Virgin with the current nightly. Let me know.
What is your latest nighlty for CM7? I would use CM9 but Groove IP doesn't seem to work with ICS.

Need stock APN please

I'm sorry if this has already been posted but I have searched for a few days for this and can't find it. I lost my stock rom for the Shift and was hoping if someone would post the stock APN's please.

See if one of the links I've attached below can help you. If not, you may want to run the 2.2 RUU. Then just start the whole process over. It's fairly simple to Re-root 2.2 .
