I have removed the downloads from my dropbox for the time being. However the final Hex unlock with RAZR soft keys are still available for download.
DOWNLOAD
ICS Hexagon Accurate Battery Mod
Most recent screen shot. In the process of uploading this version now, will post a link if people like it. The
"grey" button is when you press it. That way you can tell when you press them.
Download the new version with RAZR soft keys here
Download to internal SD card, reboot into recovery, nandroid, flash.
Done. Enjoy
If anyone has any ideas I'm open to whatever, just let me know and I'll see what I can do!
v1
Initial Release
v2
Fixed 1 icon I missed, made it an "Easter Egg" see if you can find it. - As soon as its found I'll change it lol.
Added ICS sounds (Thanks Chrisrotolo)
Added different fonts (Thanks Chrisrotolo)
Added AppWidgetPicker - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780828
v3
Added new versions of lock screens.
v4
added 1% battery mod - hexagon unlock version only
fixed random images
cleaned up multiple images to try and reduce size
changed settings "look" to add some "color" - was tired of all grey - hexagon unlock version only
v5 - unreleased
v6
fixed the divider in the settings
changed the settings icons again, I will stick with these, I like them the most.
added back the ICS wifi indicator, this time it doesnt move when the data indicators come on, they dont 100% exactly match the battery color, but it doesnt bother me. If it does, I'll go back to stock, just let me know.
this has stock ICS colored soft keys, however if you select anything besides "screen capture" in the settings < quick launch , it will change to the magnification glass from my new soft keys. I use search. I am trying to get the creator to make me an icon from this set, he said he would get to it. might take some time, just deal with it for the time being
added the option for a new set of soft keys, remember dont use "screen capture" in the settings please.
might be a few other things, but mostly thats all.
for some reason this MIGHT remove your google accounts, just add them back it if does. I'm not sure why it does
v7
soft keys are now the same keys found on the droid RAZR(thanks @sonnysekhon), all colored blue
back to stock wifi icons, colored data indicators to match keys and battery
different battery icons(thanks @chrisrotolo)
Thats all for now.

I've got the Ninja theme from the tab 10.1 all ported over to my tab now, however I have not heard back from the creator of that theme, so I'm not sure he would want me to post it or not.

Looking good

I'm working on the quick settings as well. I will get to most of them by the end of the week I hope. Apparently everything is under the mpdi folders, not sure why but whatever.
The 10.1 buttons, home, back are to wide and overlap, so I'll have to resize them if I want to use them.
I will work on the accurate battery mod this week. I already know where all the images are, just need to find the xml files.

Thanks for the Mod but I would add in the original post that you should backup your SystemUI.apk file before you do this as this Mod will replace it. Can't remember the abd commands to back up a file but it is just as easy to make a copy using Root Explorer or other file manager with root access.

Unfortunately I've seen too many people not do a backup just because it wasn't in the instructions. Here's teh command for making a bakup copy of SystemUI.apk using adb.
cp SystemUI.apk SystemUI.bak
(This copies the original file and creates a file with the extention .bak)

Can you not just copy from the system?
cp /system/app/SystemUI.apk /sdcard
That should work right? I always just use adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk and keep them on my PC, so never used busybox commands.

Thanks it looks great from the pics but I have lots to learn about adb.I'm a little familiarwith fastbooton my nexus s.ill wait for the flashable zip.thanks I'm happy we have a great dev on themes I hope we get lucky and get a great rom dev also

sneak peek teaser
Sneak peek at 3g ICS theme. only have systemui themed right now. Next are both frameworks(1000+ icons), then settings, and launcher, then phone. Then i'll probably theme the badic apps launcher icons. Will include ics clock font, but not roboto system font. I like the default dont on this device. Also some sounds and i will look into boot animation. I hope more people are interested in this than were on Dell streak 7
Thanks to antiochasylum for some icons.

still trying to get this freaking zip working. Might just kang someones lol.

This has since been updated again. I will update this post with new files once I get home. Check out my deodexed thread in developement for newer screen shots. I have since updated it again.

Brain fart! Thanks for the hard work!!!!!
Btw, did you by chance fix the bug where the why logo shifts to the left slightly when the activity indicator for data transfer is on. Its not deal breaker, but it did bug me a bit.

Yes I did. I had never noticed that until the other day, So until I figure out why its doing that I went back to stock wifi indicator. Being Christmas I'm away for a few days and ill get the ICS wifi back in there once I get home.

MetroUI Beta 6 by BroBot175 for Kindle Fire

I have been asked by the developer to start a Kindle Fire thread as we have just worked together on porting his theme to our great device. I have built the latest port with his help so I am able to answer most questions. As BroBot updates his I will port the build to the Kindle.

If your kindle for any reason goes into a bootloop just flash your ROM again without wipeing anything and it will go back to how you had it
BroBot175 works hard to develop these themes so please offer a donation to help support his development costs.​

Hi I built it for CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RCO-Blaze-KANG Rom which I found to be the best working rom for the kindle fire. Flash the rom then the theme in Clockwork I have included a link to the rom below.
Keith
If you're coming from a STOCK ROM then use this version to flash. It will wipe the data and cache partitions (as well as the system partition) as a part of the flash process which should get rid of any FC issues.
http://www.mediafire.com/?7afc1173l7yc0qv
If you're upgrading from an EXISTING CM7 install then use this ROM instead. This one will NOT wipe the cache and data partitions which should mean that you can upgrade from one version of CM7 to another without losing any of your existing data (or that's at least the idea)

Once the system has been flashed you need to set a lot of bits up, takes about an hour from here
Firstly follow all the all the steps on BroBots175 site from Step 3 http://brobot175.co.uk/MetroUI/Setup3.html and I promise it will work.
In short you need to download and copy the MetroUITiles and paste it on your SDCARD, then restore the ADW settings with the "adw_settings" file in the download. Then install an app called "Desktop VisualizeR" from Google Play on your device and and set up Desktop VisualizeR with the settings BroBot175 recommends. Once all this is done you need to make a load of widgets that becomes each of the individual tile. Over and over again.
I hope this helps.

yeah i understand I have to make those things but my confusion is coming from what does flashing that zip do like if nothing changes then what's the point in flashing that zip? Also the first link provided can I use that to flash and start over like factory wipe then flash that zip in first link?

To answer the first question; Ah I understand mate, I didn't get it last night until I worked on the Kindle port today. When building the theme it uses the roms system files and frameworks to allow extra option to appear in the options once you start adding the tiles (Widgets) and allows the system to align the tiles together correctly.
Second question; yes mate thats what I did after I tested it and knew it worked.
EDIT CORRECTION FROM DEVELOPER - Sorry!
If you look at my screenshots the bar at the bottom has metro style home back and other icons and the notification pannel also
you change these images by flashing the theme as these images are in the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk
I got lazy and didnt do it because for cm7 I had to rename all the images so they would work with your device.
With what youve done you dont really need to flash the zip for it to work unless you just want to install desktop visualised.

were working on a fix

Yo I need you to port this to the original rom I requested because the rom you ported this to doesn't let me play games like grand theft auto and order and chaos or at least I can't find it I'm the market which I assume means that the build.prop or something on kangs rom that isnt set up like the cm7 bare bones.

Yes mate, I am running all these games, send me your email and ill email you the build.prop with instructions its a five minute easy fix. I play order and chaos perfect on this Rom downloaded from Google play. This is why my signature says i have a gt p1000 ie Samsung galaxy tab.
I have nearly finished making a games tile set and the order and chaos one looks mint ill send it aswell.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium

Só this is just a theme, the live tiles is made using desktop visualizer right

Correct the reason there is a flash install process is to change the theme of the cm7 UI to match the metro style and add special Widgets. You could keep the ui the same and make the tiles by adding the metroui folder and using visualized app so you don't need to flash.

Hi mate I have sent you an email but for anyone else email me and ill send you the build.prop file. If you already have one just follow these steps.
To get this to work for me I didn't overwrite the file as it does not work for some reason.
1st – Backup your original build.prop in the /system folder to somewhere but keep a copy there still as we are going to edit this.
2nd – Copy my build.prop to your sdcard
3rd – Long press on my file and open and edit in text editor or equivalent, select all text and copy.
4th – Exit the file and navigate to your /system folder activate rw access at the top of the screen so you can edit the file.
5th – Open your build.prop and select all text then delete, once deleted paste the text from my build.prop file you should now see the device name says a GT 1000 etc
6th – Close the file and it should ask you to save it, disable rw back to ro and exit file browser.
7th – Reboot your device and once your back in go to menu/settings/about and see if your device name has changed to the GT 1000 if it has exit and open google play type in "gameloft" and all the games should now show and allow you to install.
If this helps you mate please thank me on the forum, I am new to the forum and I am trying to build my credibility up.
Take Care
Keith

So, if I'm from another CM7 I would have to flash the second ROM and then follow brobots 's instruction then I would have to do the theming myself!
And can you send the build.prop file, I saw your instruction involving copy & pasting text, why can't we move the whole build.prop file to the system directory, then we don't have to do it too long and confusing, my email is: [email protected]
Thanks A lot for this theme, and I thanked you on both of your post, expect to see another awesome update soon.
PS: Does this work with CM9, if it's not, could you consider porting it!

There are a few ways you can look at this, if you just want to add the Metro them icons to your screen just download the image pack in BroBots175 step 3 and install appalizer then set it up. the only reason to flash the rom is to give your cm7 interface buttons the metro look (i.e. back button, menu button etc), however you don't need to.
I don't know why the build.prop files does not work when you just overwrite the file? maybe it's signed in someway? I do know that it works in the way that I described so thats how I do it.

Tiles for apps and games.
Hi I have made a few tiles for games and apps that I use. I haven't followed the theme too much as I like to see the correct images on my games icons, but I have added a download link incase anyone wants them. I have put two pictures below so you can see them.

STOCK ROOTED DEODEXED ROM (XXBMC4 Android 4.1.2)

ATTENTION: I zipped the rom from CWM recovery, so....DON'T rename the image.zip before flashing

I also introduced a 4-way reboot

ok, wait a moment... What's the [PHONE] tag about?
Just look at this...
I enabled the SecPhone.apk in framework-res.apk.
So, before you ask me if it can make and/or receive calls I'll answer you:
NO, it doesn't. Or, at least, not now.
You can only dial USSD codes.
I really don't know if it's possible to make standard calls, since the device hasn't a GSM modem, even if I know there are some mobile operators which only work in 3G mode for exemple H3G in Italy).
I also saw some videos where people demonstrated they can make standard calls with a 3G-only modem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRF2cCFehRQ
So, making and receiving standard phone calls, even if only in 3G mode, SHOULD BE POSSIBLE.
I just don't know how to enable this functionality (pretty sure that's a modem issue)
To enable Phone app flash this through CWM

If you have any suggestion about making or receiving calls feel free to PM me, or make a post in this thread. We need some investigation!

4 way reboot doesn't work. Same menu, but now random reboots. Besides, the sound menu shouldn't be removed completely. I don't use it, but its good not to take stock options away.
Edit: I got the menu to come up, but I couldn't use the 4-way and phone mods together. It also made my "Just Once" and "Always" launch options "Phone" and "Headphone" with a reboot every time I tried to open the status bar drawer.

That makes no sense. I need to install the full ROM you posted, then busybox, then the mod zip, then reconfigure my entire build just to get a 4-way reboot menu? That is more work than modding my own.

The thing which makes no sense is that you want to install the 4 way reboot mod without to consider you're writing in a XXBMC4 deodexed rom thread. So, if you want to make it work, you MUST be on any XXBMC4 deodexed rom.
P.S.: not everyone could afford a 3G data plan and subscribe a VOIP contract. If I enabled the phone dialer is just because I want to make standard calls, not VOIP calls.

What makes your version different than a stock deodexed XXBMC4 with busybox already installed?
I have the wifi only, so I don't have 3g at all and can make calls. Voip is the protocol not the service. If you don't have service, you can't make calls. Using Google Voice, you can use the standard applications, but you can't just start making calls with no service provider.

Enabling phone is simply replacing the false with true for has_voice in the res/values/bools.xml, but did you also change has_sms? Seems that would be equally useful, since there is an SMS over GV app, too.

I'm trying to understand what modem this thing is using. (I don't have one.)
Could someone send me a dd extraction of the the RADIO partion #10 (?) or directly from firmware extraction? It should be called modem.bin. I think there a different ways of enabling phone (calls)...

Here u are, I made this flashable zip. This modem comes from GC100XXBMC4_GC100ITVBLL1_GC100XXBMC3_HOME.tar.md5 on which the rom in this thread is based.

Great! So your modem belong to the Intel XMM6260 chipset (modem + RF front-end). (The modem is X-GOLD 626, and often labeled "XG626", while the front end is SMARTi UE2 or 3.

The first 4 pages of my signature thread is designated to the AT commands used in this type of modems. The firmware above, is the first new one I have looked at since Intel bought Infineon. The same info above, can be obtained by AT+XGENDATA.
Now, this is not immediately going to help you get phone functionality, but at least we'll be able to know something about the RF chipset and firmware. Depending how the reminder of the RF chips are setup, we could start speculating about what would happen if we were flashing a very similar modem firmware. (Perhaps something found in an Exynos based GT-I9300?)
^ DON'T DO THIS!
But if the Camera does support phone calls, it is not necessarily disabled in modem firmware, but rather in some NV data somewhere else, or both. This is very tricky... (At least I don't know how to read/extract and interpret XMM/Exynos NV data.)

If you're saying that you wanna make GSM calls, then this whole story depend on the RF-front-end components. We're talking SAW filters and antenna switches etc. Since I'm yet to see any good high-res internal pictures of this camera, I cannot answer if these components are there.
I posted this thread long time ago asking for this.
[HW][DEV] Internal Pictures Please
PS. The YouTube video of enabling 3G calls in your OP, is for a Huawei 3G USB stick. These are normally completely different from what you have here, and thus that video doesn't mean anything, unfortunately.

Assumably, on the 3G versions of the camera they are missing vital parts, but unless Samsung was EXTREMELY lazy and VERY generous in their hardware design, they were most likely removed in the Wifi version (GC110) and the methods are most likely stubs in both, as software is easier / no more expensive to design once and leave extra parts in. That is likely why I have the AT&T kernel installed without any issues, but all that aside, there would still need to be a way to activate service, which most carries will likely deny.
Edit: I'm not saying it would hurt to look, but its nothing to dedicate too much effort into.

I already did that when I was experimenting on 4.1.1. I flashed various I9300 modem for 4.1.1 and the result was that the carrier name displayed, but I couldn't use my sim card (no sms, no internet, no calls).
I haven't already tested i9300 4.1.2 modems with this GC100 4.1.2 rom, but the result should be the same.
I read in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum they enabled the phone functionality flashing the I9103XXLQ3 modem over stock 4.0.4 rom. Would something like that work for us? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875024

I don't want to enable GSM calls since that means we would need a 2G modem built in the galaxy camera. And we haven't it, right?
I'm just looking at enabling standard calls on the only network we have (3G)

Nevermind, I think I have them reversed. The 100 should be the one I can mod, the 110 is wifi, and the 120 should be CDMA, which would need a software change instead of a firmware modification.
Edit: Anyway, it's going to require editing the NVRAM with a donor phone to get calling since it is a CAMERA, but I have a tutorial to get it done.

Boost Mobile APN fix for any ROM

Okay so first thing is first let this be known that this was not created by me. I'm just sharing along since I found a fix. All you have to do is Google up "universal boost mobile APN fix for d2lte" its a mod created by mopedryder. All credit goes to him. I haven't thanked cause I'm not on the thread. But here you go. This will fix the APN. Receive and send MMS and also fix "roaming indicator" to "Boost Mobile". Hope this works for everyone else like me.
Currently tried with C-Rom. Try it out and share your findings
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK
All Thanks go to MOPEDRYDER
How to:
1) Flash rom of choice
2) Let Rom update and finish.
3) Reboot to recovery, MAKE BACKUP, Flash fix
(wipe dalvik/cache if you want)
4) Reboot and change settings in Hangouts.
5) Test it
Since the fix is meant for the LTE network from Hangouts APN's select "Sprint CdmaNai" There are two of them so select the one that works best. I usually use the first one.
So far what i have tried it on.
*CM11 - Working with fix and using hangouts.
*Paranoid Android - Working with fix and using Hangouts
*C-Rom - Working with fix and using Hangouts As of C-Rom v7 data won't work on xt1031 so MMS will not send. And no you can't do it over WiFi might as well send it through regular Hangouts.
*Slim Rom - Not working. Just hangs at (Sending)
*Lego Rom - Not working. Hangs at (sending)
*Gummy Rom - Working with fix. Using hangouts.
*AOSB (ProBAM) - Not working. Hangs at (sending)
*Omni Rom - Working with fix. Using hangouts.
ALTERNATE FIX
After flashing APN fix and that didn't work try this:
1) Download 8sms from the playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms
2) Go to settings in 8sms-> MMS settings-> add the following
MMSC: http://mm.myboostmobile.com
MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7
MMS Port: 80
3) Test it. Should work just fine.
Try this fix before and after flashing the APN fix with ROM. This won't work on ProBAM ROM for some reason but feel free to prove me wrong.
Mopedryder actually replied and gave his own input and this is what he had to follow with that ks go to him one more time and also junkie2100

Boost LTE fix
R2 is basically a install binary update.
Here is some backstory / info on the 'fix':
The primary goal I set out to do was to get lte working on our phones with CM / AOSP ROMs(I have a G3 Virgin Mobile phone). Secondary, if able was to get MMS to work. MMS is still a challenge to say the least. In order to get LTE / MMS to work on Sprints network you need to identify yourself as Boost / Virgin on the Sprint network...with correct settings and at times credentials. The APN settings I made actually is a combo of both Sprint and Virgin/Boost settings.
Beyond the APN settings I made a simple bash script to 'find and replace', or if not found input the settings required. It also adds a eri.xml for the phone to identify itself as Boost / Virgin.
Getting MMS to work on LTE made me pull my hair out. Virgin mobile(Boost) working on Sprint networks when it comes to MMS messages is an over complicated issue caused the providers. When attempting to receive MMS on LTE networks with stock MMS or some 3rd party MMS apps it returns with a "HTTP error: Authorization Required". When trying it on 3G its no problem. Seems they required "Authorization" for MMS on LTE but not 3G - go figure. Hangouts basically works for all because the app itself doesn't use the phones APN settings. It tries (and does) to attain what carrier you are on and use its settings. In our case it will identify you are on the Sprint network and use those APN settings. Why don't we set our phones to the Sprint settings?...no LTE then.
For Samsung phones (My S3) TW ROMs use a system called chameleon to attain both LTE and SMS/MMS ability. The chameleon system will not work in AOSP / CM ROMs. The system "shows" itself as Virgin Mobile for phone/network but Sprint for MMS.
I have also found this fix doesn't seem to work on MIUI ROMs either. Haven't figured out why. For some reason every S3 sprint MIUI ROM wont even boot on my phone.
For my fix - if anyone wants to use / edit / repost it I say go for it. Open source at its finest. Best way to learn IMO is to reverse engineer something....just be careful :fingers-crossed:
As for the code if anyone wants to see it without unzipping:
The reason this is capable of flashing on multiple phones is partition specific blocks are not used.

Just tried this with Lego ROM...did you have to clean install for it to work? I still can't access my APN settings. It says Boost for the service now instead of the Roaming Indicator message but still no MMS support. I know you gave the link for a different thread with the methods for the fix but can you give detail on the exact steps that you did for it to work on the Moto G please? It would be greatly appreciated, MMS is the last thing I'm missing, I'm loving everything else about my current ROM and really don't wanna go back to stock.

Alright so I've been going from ROM to ROM to see which one plays nice. My first was c-rom and that worked. Then I tried pa and that also worked. Anyways the apn's only go to hangouts since that's what it's meant for. Now I'm using Lego ROM and got some reason it won't send the pictures through it. The APN I pick from hangouts is SprintCdmanai.

I was currently testing this with Lego ROM. And I can't seam to get it to send MMS either. It works with the previous ROMs I've tried.
1. Flash whatever ROM you are going to use.
2. Complete your setup. Let everything update.
3. Flash APN fix, boot when done.
The APN settings only show up in hangouts.

Good to know, I will jump back over to the Lego thread and see if the OP has any input on the issue.
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Free mobile app

I started out with a clean install of Lego ROM when I flashed this fix. I, too, an not able to send/receive MMS or pictures. I'm going to check the Lego thread and see what the OP SARS @vitokes- have you tried this fix on Slim, that's what Lego is mainly based on....
I do think that access to the APN settings in the actual Settings menu has something to do with it. Also, it took me a bit to get the ROM to give 3g since it won't stick if you select Preferred Network in the menu. You actually have to go into the Phone hidden menu info from the dialer (*#*#4636#*#*).

@ricola1989 I haven't had a chance to test on slim. I will after work though.

what do you mean it "hangs", it says boost mobile now. but when i tryed an mms it said "insert sim to send mms". i tryed a couple different apns, but just the default and the one mentioned a few posts back

By "hangs"
I mean it hangs at just sending. Doesn't send an MMS. Or receive. And then once left for a minute or 2 it says it can't be sent. Touch to retry. I think the problem is slim ROM in general..
Edit: also the only APN's you can use from the list are the bottom 2. They are meant for CDMA network.

Flashable Virgin Mobile LTE fix

I made an updated flashable VM fix from V.R2 of Mopedryder's version of the fix http://androidforums.com/threads/vi...rgin-mobile-apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/. I wrote a new updater-script to accommodate our new apns-conf. This also deletes telephony databases and updates the build.prop somewhat accordingly,carrier brand is also correctly set as VM also. I recommended using this on a clean flash of your ROM or after a factory reset, let me know if you get LTE,text and calls working and which ROM and kernel you are using and we can add or change stuff. This should work with CM 12 & 13
Take a backup first via twrp before using this. I am not responsible for any damage you cause on your end!
How to install:
Download to Ext SD Card
Reboot into recovery
Either Clean Flash with ROM &Gapps
Or
Flash and then
Factory Reset (Dalvik,Cache,Data)
Reboot
LTE should immediately turn on
texts and MMS should now work, textra helps if you get problems sending pics.

I spent some time this afternoon throwing together an Aroma flashable zip to activate LTE on Boost, FreedomPop, Sprint, Ting, and Virgin Mobile. It's a really simple setup, but I've hit a hangup getting build.prop to edit in recovery mode.
Is your zip actually patching build.prop or is it just acting like it does?
Mind you, I've had LTE running fine with no changes whatsoever to build.prop so I may just cut those patches out.

I double checked the prop.sh file and I made a few edits to fix mms but I'm not finished yet,I'll upload that tomorrow but to answer you the zip also clears the correct databases and replaces the eri and apns_conf file and changes the numeric in build.prop and carrier branding

Update the getprop values, copy apns and eri to the right place.

I will say I'm super impressed with moto for this device, I mean come on, I paid $40 for this thing, it performs almost as well as my Nexus 5, I just wish it had a little bit bigger screen and some more storage, but I mean for $40 really, I had very low expectations for this phone, it was just something to get me by until me N6 comes back from RMA, but after using it for a week I'm impressed, I'm actually working on 6.0 for it too, bcuz I know it can run it and I think it will improve on an already amazing device, good stuff moto, after my Nexus 6 I wasn't a fan of moto, but this restored my trust in them a great deal....

The main difference is in apns-conf.xml. eri.xml is purely cosmetic and LTE works perfectly without patching build.prop. I'm currently pulling the build.prop patching from my zip and updating the various apns-conf.xml files with the most current information. I'll upload in a bit.

@scritch007 Thanks, if you could include it that would great. The difference is on lines 23 + 24 of prebuilt/system/etc/cdma/virgin/apns-conf.xml the value for LTE for Virgin Mobile at least in the US I believe is n.ij.ispsn instead of v.vmu.ispsn which is used for 3g data that is there now. I am guessing with the introduction of spark network the value was changed. The prop fix just sets our carrier branding correctly as Virgin Mobile in settings>sim info and in quick settings because by default without the fix we are listed as using Boost Mobile as our carrier and in quick settings it will just read "roaming indicator off" and can only use 3g. I am using the fix in CM 13 right now. The only difference between flashing the fix with CM 12.1 and 13 and probably CAF too is that APN's can be viewed,added,edited etc in CM 12.1 and in CM 13 APN's are not visable but the fix still works by replacing the correct files and prop edits.

The carrier information in SIM status is taken from eri.xml. I get no difference in functionality between patched and unpatched build.prop files. It may have once been necessary, but I think whatever problems those build.prop patches solved have been resolved.

I don't really understand what is the difference with https://github.com/Motorola-Cyanoge...mmit/8a6f577c866c3979d758bbe48d3bb0565fd94a1d
unless at that time the values that were provided were wrong, in the apns-conf.xml and eri.xml were wrong, this patch used to do the same thing. (I actually didn't make the diff for now)
Update the getprop values, copy apns and eri to the right place.
I some of you guys want to send me the fix for all the providers. I'll make it by default in the "CAF" build.
CM13 will most probably won't get the fix.

I just looked a bit deeper into the code you linked. (specifically init_surnia.c) It's setting the CDMA values based on the value of ro.boot.fsg-id, expecting virgin or sprint else it's boost. A getprop ro.boot.fsg-id returns nothing on my CAF 0.10 surnia. getprop ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric returns 311870 (boost). Expected behavior would return the following in my case:
ro.boot.fsg-id=virgin
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
If I understand the structure of APN entries correctly, getting this resolved would make it possible to include the APNs in the default apns-conf.xml.
I'm not sure how ro.boot.fsg-id is derived, but adding ro.boot.fsg-id=virgin to build.prop doesn't alter the above behavior.

Yes this is taken from the CDMA test build I made. I had asked people to set the fsg-id to the correct value. This can be done thanks to fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem config fsg-id virgin
This wasn't added into CM.

Something like that would certainly help! If the CDMA properties were set based on a user-selectable carrier then it would solve a lot of headache with the apns-conf.xml files. We know the appropriate APNs for Boost, Sprint, and Virgin. It would be nice to have them folded into the default apns-conf.xml.

It definitely would. I don't understand why this isn't already fixed in CM 12.1, it also should be listed as an issue in the wiki but it isn't.

I just tried placing the values from the code @scritch007 linked into build.prop like so:
Code:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=311490
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US
gsm.operator.numeric=311490
gsm.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US
Then I tried appropriately tagging the VM APNs with numeric="311490" mcc="311" mnc="490" while including them in a default, huge apns-conf.xml file.
Even with the proper numeric codes set in build.prop, the phone populates its APN database with Sprint (310120) APNs. Getprop yields the following results:
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=31000
gsm.operator.numeric=310120
I sure hope hardcoding these values into init works better than defining them in build.prop. It's clear that the value of gsm.operator.numeric is pretty important. It's also clear that patching build.prop doesn't help us.
Pardon me if this is all old news, but I'm pretty new here.
