MMS fix for Virgin Mobile Epic 4g CM7 & CM9 - Epic 4G Android Development

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.

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.

Great job man! Looks like its time to get my mom off of boost and flash her over to VM!!! Thanks for all the work you put into this!

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.

Just used this to do CM7 for the Evo 4g thanks homie. Been dreaming of this day for a long time!!!

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.

thanks, its just that my data was working before cm 7 or 9. I flashed the alt carrier zip but still doesn't work. Thanks anyway

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.

[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 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 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?

[HOW-TO] Get Cricket or Metro on MIUI or other ASOP ROM

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.
If you like my post, please be sure to thank me.

Token's cricket_web_mms_v10.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?5fq4hyde5i5z69d
METRO USERS
You should only have to flash Bloody's zip and re-boot twice in order for it to work for you.

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.

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.

*****NOT A CWM FLASHABLE ZIP*******
I tried to make a rom based off ACS-ICS v2, because my GPS was working.
However something in the rom still is off. I had no GPS. My Nandroid backup however restored my GPS.
So here is my first attempt at a Rom/Nandroid:
Based of of ACS-ICS - marcusant
-Official 2.3.5
-No CiQ (k0nane)
-Rooted
-EXT4
-IAP's EI22 Kernel* Basic OC/UV to 1200* (earthbound[iap] )
-DeOdexed (xBTx)
-Juwe RAM Tweak (Juwe11)
-3G TurboCharger (zeppelinrox)
I added:
•SGS4G Adrenaline Shot (Dsexton702)
•ASOP Sytle Lock Screen (ICS Themed to match ACS ICS Rom)
•ACS ICS Launcher 4.0
•LogProvider Fix
•AppWidget Picker
My appoligies to anyone I forgot.
If this works to get the GPS going for some,
Hopefully we can use it to figure out why ACS ICS kills the GPS.
Thanks bodi524

Correct me if i'm wrong but, I expect it's a Nandroid backup that may need to be extract into your CWM backup file and you just have to do a restore of it in CWM. I'd be sure to make a nandroid of your current rom before applying any other rom.
Working great for me no issues...thank you

Semantics. It's this attitude that sends new users, that could be of benefit in the future, running away from development.
In the time it took you to chastise this guy, you could have just as easily pointed him to the right place to do as you suggested.
Who are you to judge what skill is, who are you and what have you ever contributed?

Geez. You didn't have to change the title to delete. I kinda fell bad that everybody was bashing on you now. I am perfectly fine with you branching off and starting your own rom... I have nothing against it because you gave proper credit. I didn't mean to sound mean or anything like that... All work should be shared and different people like different things. Anyways, I also suggest that you learn how to extract a nandroid or create a rom without one.

Making a cwm flashable is easy. There are many tutorials/how-tos out there. I could've made a number of "roms," but everytime I wanted to put something out I always realized that it wasn't development. I dont remember where I heard this but someone said that development isn't deleting apk's theming and calling it a rom.

The first rom I posted was an early branch off of another popular rom. Despite clarifying my intentions, stating my immaturity, and giving all due credit, a mod deleted my thread without warning. Rather annoying, since the toughest part of doing all this was assembling a clear and informative thread.
I have since moved the majority of my information and all my download links to a separate site, courtesy of another less whiny forum.
While I cannot condone if someone were to rip off an entire rom and claim the work to be all their own, I also cannot condemn an effort by someone attempting to learn and share.
Android is, after all, open source.
Unfortunately, XDA is a tough crowd. You'll want to be a little more prepared before you launch a Rom thread if you're not ready for the backlash.

t989 ICS 4.0.3 on 727 hardware

So... coming from the t989 UVLDE (or whatever). Here is what I have done and what works far. Note: if you revert to the original 727 ROM _SKIP EVERYTHING DURING THE INITIAL SETUP PROMPTS_ do not do anything more than go to the home screen then reboot.
1.) From a tmo rom or stock 727 rom reboot into download mode
2.) Flash the TMO ICS 4.0.3 ROM.
Note: You can use "CheckFUS" to download the file from samsung
http://fus.nanzen.se/
3.) Reboot and wait for upgrade process to complete and sit at the home screen
4.) Reboot into download mode again and flash CWM
Note: I can only find the "CWM touch" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24085665&postcount=1 havent found the older one I use on the forum. Any help would be appreciated.
5.) Reboot into CWM
6.) Flash the TMO radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27291765&postcount=1
7.) Reboot
Issues:
Autorotate doesnt work right on the 727. Working on a flashable file unless someone already has one.
Wont "shutdown" stays hung at the TMO "goodbye" screen.

TY, trying to just help and figure this out without a lot of modding. A large number of people are like me and want to know what to expect and use their phone. I just have the luxury of having a good idea of what to do.
If you have questions feel free to hit me up

I brought this up in a couple of other threads earlier today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592170&highlight=rotation+fix
This is what is used to run Skyrocket ROM's on the T989. Maybe try to reverse what is in this fix.
On TDJ's AT&T ROM for the T989, this fix is baked into the ROM. I never had any problems using his ROM with this built in. The reverse action should work going from T989 to Skyrocket.

I brought it up originally in the thread that got turned into a mud slinging contest by petro whatever his name is. Just didn't have the link then.
EDIT: I own both phones and enjoy being able to run whatever I like on either one. If I had the time I would figure it out myself.

I am good at following directions so normally if I run into a problem it is one I created myself and usually easily fixable. I have run sky ics, TWH AOKP, and nexusmod from over here and really enjoyed them all.
I do have to say that the reason I want there to be an easy fix for rotation is because of TDJ over on the T989 forums. Now that source is out and he can build his own kernel which he has said will be released later in the week, these phones will reach their full potential. On GB on that side at one point, 90% of the ROM's were running his kernel.
Downloading UCLA4 now and I'll repackage and test. I can't believe how easy these CWM zips are to make. It's easier than dealing with the software deployments at work. I should have actually looked at them sooner....
Tried a few different file versions and no luck. Pulled from 4.04 even.
I was hoping the UCLA4 zip drivers would fix it. I'm pretty certain it is something in the kernel, which I'm not advanced enough for yet. Going to bed now.
Btw- for the rotation fix, try my thread here:

both of you start your journey here, all the goodies, just takes a few fixes and 3rd party apps if that's cool with you, its explained in the thread just read carefully, there is even a stock tar, unbrick.img, modem.zip, and bin files for the camera fix earlier in the thread just look back til you find what you need, hope you got an old sim card though, doesn't have to be active just as long as you have one, good luck! ENJOY

I eventually uninstalled the clean ROM and reflashed my stock rom. I have yet to try a new ROM since. Have you flashed a ROM where everything works?

ROMS with newly found working fixes are in the thread, all the d2lte roms and d2vzw roms are now working except for stock camera and stock MMS but there is a camera app that fixes camera and a fix for MMS through hangouts or a 3rd party text app, other than that its smooth sailing on all ROMs, there's even a working CM12 (lollipop 5.0) ROM!!!!! SWEET

the thread discusses needed FIXES for the ROMs, do a search for the d2vzw and d2lte ROMs, they are in the verizon S3 forums, find the ROM you want but go back to the thread I linked to find how to make the ROMs work, you'll have to read the thread and do the work yourself but there are fixes for everything you'll run into in the thread

search for mastamoon's CM12 (lollipop), fixes for it in thread also, you'll need an old sim no matter what ROM you use

Help!
I have no service after flashing several custom roms. I think i may have screwed up the modem. Is there any way i can get straight talk service on my sch-968c with cm11 or 12 installed and how?

No, you just need to get a CDMA SIM, a Verizon LTE 4G SIM is best, yes, I know the device is 3G, dont bother asking or wondering, just take my word for it, ALL of the LP d2vzw ROMs require SIM because they are for the Verizon S3 which is a 4G device and 4G devices require SIM for service and data, that makes us need it also. Another thing, stock MMS won't work with any other SIM than Verizon 4G SIM then dialing *228 to auto program SIM then manually edit APNs. Get a SIM and I'll set you up with what you need. Until you get a SIM just go back to stock or one of the kit kat ROMs from the first 6 months of last year and you won't need the SIM on those.
Does anyone know if Android M (Marshmellow) will be available for the S3 ? (d2vzw) ?

I don't know about the preview version. Everything is hush hush for now.
The team of guys I know are pretty good at what they do. Its mostly in the works upstream with the CM team. The guys I know are working as it comes from upstream. Its coming soon to the STS3 though. The team I know is already at work on it, they have it under control, I don't know about the other ROM teams though. It won't be out for beta testing for a couple of months so just be patient.

No recent news or developments yet, they are still working on it, very few teams or developers have it ready to go yet, I've seen it released for other devices but not this one yet.
