Setting APN to fix MMS issues Bluegrass Cellular Showcase i500

Not sure if this is the correct area to post, feel free to move it.
This is for Bluegrass Cellular Showcase i500. It may also work for other Bluegrass Androids with MMS not sending or receiving.
Once you have installed a custom rom and everything except MMS is working properly. Follow these steps.
1. Open App Drawer - launch voice dialer.
2. Say open A P Ns - should popup Open APNs - select it.
3. Once in APNs - you may or may not have an APN listed - press menu - restore defaults.
4. If you have an APN listed - select it - if not then press menu and add new.
5. You should now see edit access point.

6. Set your settings just as mine are in the pictures above (or text below in case the pictures don't load)
7. Most important, if you want it to save and show up in the list of APNs - DO NOT CHANGE THE MCC OR MNC! IT SHOULD WORK WITH WHATEVER NUMBER IS ALREADY THERE. THIS IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE SAVING THEIR APN SETTINGS, BECAUSE THEY CHANGE THESE TWO SETTINGS.

Was wondering the same thing xenithxzavier. Also a stock odin for the phone would be a great asset to me as well. Many thanks in advance

You can manually enter these settings. Go to the dialer and enter##83786633 then hit the home button, open the dialer again and clear what is there, then enter ##22745927, the SPC code is 000000 by default and then you can select to turn hidden menus on. Finally, go to the dialer again an enter ##3282#, and your in the manual data settings. I dont know any of this info, but if you do, please share

Ive been trying to enter this menu for a while however havent been successful yet. For some reason i cant find a combination of numbers anywhere that will access the hidden menu. but even if i was successful no i dont have a stock rom or the correct settings....
i hate the small size of my phone company lol

Well you could flash a stock Odin then bite the bullet and take it in to get reflashed. I know i am going in the morning to do this, i will create a dump when i get done and get back to you on it.

right on waiting eagerly

I may have the fix for alot of you Bluegrass cellular customers. In my case when I went to mobile networks under settings, There was no APN setting option. I activated a Verizon 4G Galaxy Nexus to my Bluegrass account. I downloaded "offline SIM APN Database" from the Play store. His app lets you input the apn settings even though it doesn't show up in settings. I used all the settings as listed on this thread, but like in my case I had no place to input them. Once you dowload the app (it has to be the PRO), select USA and Verizon. FYI You MUST delete all other APN presets in order for it to work. The app creator is Robert Soult. He is THE MAN!

I just wanted to let you know thanks for this! This helped fix my phone. And I also wanted you to know, I used this to make a script that fixes many MMS problems for Bluegrass Cellular. You can find it here...

KIKIN For NON Vodafone (root only)

Ok ...so ive been doing some digging in my unbranded m8 stock rom, ive noticed the actual rom comes with the lib.kikin file and the support enable options in the default.xml, I wanted the kikin search app after I changed my rom from Vodafone to unbranded Europe. I will link the website telling you all about this amazing feature and will link the files needed
http://www.kikin.com/products_android
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ohn1bb1yf1xwwf9/AAAnyWXI_VJH12N4u874unVLa
Ok ...so whether your odexed or not odexed these files install normally from what ive tested, move them to private app, then go to default.xml and edit the 2 kikin options, change from false to true, they look like ....."Boolean" name="isKikinEnable">false and "Boolean" name="support_kikin"false, you need to change them to true, scroll down the xml to just above half way and look for thosr 2 lines, after the changes reboot, should have a k icon, if not don't worry ,just open the app and enable, try it out in default browser, oh and untick use default browser. the apk's will install normally without the odex, seems htc as took a more traditional odexing method, anyway, you can install them but it will not work until the default.xml as been edited hence you need root.

Done, not working=( inside kikin program = perfect, but in browser no go
moved to system/priv-app/
set permissions rw-r--r--
still no go...tried simply installing = works only on a template inside kikin app. In browser = not working

have you checked for lib.kikin in system/lib, also, did you edit the default.xml ?, or the one that matches your cid?, sometimes the rom uses your cid instead of default, if the lib is missing add it, ive added the lib to the link. It works perfectly fine on mine, HTC__001 version rom. Also it may not work with chrome as htc's browser is the default that its designed around, stupid I know ...as theres a desktop version for chrome, being as though it was exclusive to Vodafone im guessing it would be vodafones browser and htc's internet.UPDATE: its based entirely around htc apps, message/mail/internet and any other supported app.

Done everything, icon dissapers after reboot....

Works fine here

That's ok ...having the icon appear just tells you its set up ok, as long as its working after a reboot its fine.

The icon needs to be in app drawer...for me it's in app drawer and works perfectly fine...set both lines in default.xml to true and both apk are in priv-app with the right permissions

The K icon actually only supposed to appear at initial setup, like after a hard reset of the phone, wiping user data, then the icon will show for first time to tell you your phone as got kikin support and to click to enable in app draw, should then disappear but kept alive by system, click the icon and it should go but still have full support in supported apps.

Ive just realized that the HTC LTE widget is missing from the 154.401.10 software. Lucky my dad as got the Vodafone rom still so I pulled the widget lol.

This app is no longer valid, on my phone (unbranded m8 2.22.401.5) htc pushed a notification and a disable command when I tried to use kikin, saying that the app is no longer supported for my device. It as something to do with google and the webview, and will just end up incompatable in future updates.
http://www.kikin.com/blog/2014/08/vodafone-device-update/

Just thought id let everyone know that the latest ota comes with the kikin app preinstalled, just need to enable in the default.xml, its back up and running again.

Simple, no Xposed, KK/Lollipop, Torch Lockscreen mod.

This is a very simple mod to enable the Volume-Up Torch feature on the Lockscreen in KK and Lollipop TW ROM, yes including OA8.
A note about the usage of the Flashlight. The mod stay enabled for 30 seconds after the screen goes dark, ie. you have 30 sec to press vol up to get your Flashlight On once the screen is dark.
You just need Root and a SQL editor.
Settings Storage -> settings.db -> system
add two entries:
torchlight_enable = 1
torchlight_timeout = 30000
Reboot

Could you be more accurate with the path to this file on lollipop?
And I'm on the xda mobile app and can't see the gif files...

It is not a file, it is a database, you'll need SQLlite or any other SQL editor.
You then select Settings Storage
Then select settings.db
Then select system
Then you click the little + sign
Then you add both entries, as shown by the pictures

Thank you for that break down of steps, it slipped my mind, rarely used sql
edit::: working now, thanks!

Cool forgot about this! Thanks bro got my torch back!

Ok, I made the necessary changes to the database using SQLite, but I still can't turn on the torchlight using the volume key. Am I missing something here? Also, you're picture isn't showing. Could you re-upload to see if I goofed the db changes?
Edit: Seems like it's working now. Thank you for posting this!

it's not a perfect solution sometimes you have to "wake up" the up volume button by lighting up your screen with the power button briefly, hit the power button again to shut screen off then try the volume up button, torch should work then. sounds like its a hassle but its just three quick button clicks.

Well it's not sticking, the lines are being removed, how, I have no idea what would be writing over the file?

Make sure you are in r/w mode and not r/o if your using Root Explorer. if your using ES Filemanager make sure you granted root access and have it enabled in settings.

It would have warned me about not having root privileges, and I'm set to always grant... Funny thing is, it now sticks, so that's weird.

Only thing I was missing from xposed was my flashlight.. This will definitely hold me over till they get that fixed..

Can someone explain how to do this on lollipop? I updated the database located in the directions in the link below but it doesn't stick. I go back in after a reboot and they new lines are gone.
http://pocketnow.com/2015/01/01/nexus-6-tethering
edit - I copied the database out of that area, made the edit, pasted it back and it sticks now. It still doesn't work. I see another database entry for torch_light = 0. Is that overriding the new entries?

I can´t find Settings Storage with aSQLliteManager. Where is it? on the SD card or on the system drive?

[Non-root] Stock Verizon Note 5 APN Settings Editing

Hello Verizon Note 5 XDA members, I myself am a owner of the Verizon Note 5, eagerly awaiting, and looking for ways to gain root on this phone.
Unfortunately we do not have it fully as of yet. So in the mean time I have been messing around, looking for things I can do without rooting.
I am unsure if anyone else has found this method, or posted it to any other websites, however I have not noticed this posted on XDA nor have I found any accurate
posts on how to change APN settings, unless the phone is from a different carrier other than Verizon.
TL;DR - Here's a method I believe I found for changing APN Settings without root.
My phone specs is the first screenshot in the steps.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY AND ALL DAMAGES TO YOUR PHONE THAT THIS MAY CAUSE. DOING THIS YOU ACCEPT AND USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK WITHOUT HOLDING ME LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES.
First things first, I am unsure if this will work for lower versions, or any other model. Or if any other phone may contain this. My model and version is this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also note, my APN Settings are greyed out, blocked, be whatever you want to call it.
Step 1. Clear all recent apps, or just make sure you do not have settings opened in the background processes. As this will stop you from reaching the bypass in step 6 and it will show the usual greyed out/blocked add button.
Step 2. Download Activity Launcher, or use any software that allows launching of app activities. I suggest Activity Launcher only due to this is the app I was using at the time I found this.
Step 3. Open Activity Launcher, and make sure All Activities is selected in the top left corner. It could take a few seconds, to a minute to load them all depending on how many apps you have installed.
Step 4. Locate the activity called "com.test.LTEfunctionality" without quotation marks. It should be near the bottom of the list in Activity Launcher. Expand the drop down by clicking on the activity once so it looks like the screenshot.
Step 5. Click on LTE Test to launch this activity. What launches should look like this screenshot below.
Step 6. Scroll down until you see LTE APN Setting as in the screenshot below. Then click it.
Step 7. Profit from changing your APN Settings to however you please.
To enable the APN, you must select it from the screen on Step 7, it will not show up in your usual Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. It will also appear as you have no APN selected in the usual APN screen. To modify your APN's again, you will have to go through all of the above steps again starting from Step 3.

Sorry, if I'm not in the know but why would I want this?
Thanks

You don't.. There's no need to change your APN (Access Point Name) when your phone is already set up to properly receive calls, texts and data. This will not do anything towards helping to root at all.. You would need this if you were trying to get a phone that you already paid for onto Verizon or some other carriers network. Other than that there's not much use of this.

I'm using a verizon version on Cricket/AT&T. When I inserted my sim card I had to manually enter my APN info and all i had to do was scroll through settings till i found the mobile networks. Then once inside that menu I hit APN. It automatically let me enter my info without having to go through all of what you were explaining...

I am currently deployed and brought my Verizon Note 5. I purchased a prepaid data SIM and had to edit the APN settings for it to work. I didn't have to go through all these crazy steps either, I don't know what this person is talking about.

I have a Verizon note 5 and I want to change to a free APN in my area. This didn't work for me but I'm going to try some variations . My APN is locked out like yours. Thanx

I finally got my APN to change
I tried this method and they must have patched it on the Dec 2017 software version because it did not open the APN Test at step 6..
What I did was put in am ATT sim card, went in to APN settings, Added an APN with the "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN settings and saved it. (the saved APN disappeared from the list after saving) Pulled out the ATT sim card, Reinserted my PagePlus sim card and restarted. It worked, I Now Have DATA!
The APN settings are still greyed out now and I can not change them but phone is using the APN i set while I had the other sim card in the phone so its working great for me!

I was excited, but unfortunately this did not work for me. I'm on Straight Talk and I updated to Nougat with Smart Switch, but now my data doesn't work. Would be super nice if I could change my APN setting and get it to work again. Verizon claims they don't lock their 4G LTE devices, but this definitely seems like a way of locking it.

Hey I just loaded a FreedomPop SIM card with no real problem. I swapped out the Sim card and then did a factory reset. It still tried to connect to Verizon but FP ran a setup program that allowed me to add a new APN. I them loaded Samsung package disabler 11.5 and killed the setup wizzard from Verizon. No more error messages.

Question Weird launcher behavior on UIS7862 machine

Lately i have installed my first Android HU - UIS7862 4+64 model.
In the beginning i thought its like any other Tablet / Phone, that i could install any Launcher from play store. So i tried Nova, Vivd launcher. Every thing works, but very soon i found it retrieve back to the stock launcher randomly (it does really random, sometimes when i click back, some times home button).
At this point i thought may be these Chinese unit does not works right with 3rd party launcher? so i uninstalled all 3rd party ones. Now i am on the stock Launcher.
i selected a theme call 'UI16" in factory settings menu, and here comes the weird part. This stock launcher also has random reset to another theme, which i recognize is 'UI13' in factory settings. i have been stuck with this issue since then, being so frustrated with it...
Here's what i have tired and didn't resolve the issue.
1. Select UI in factory settings (UI16, UI13 etc..)
2. Settings > apps > default apps > launcher (from here i see multiple Launcher 3)
3. Settings > apps > Found all 'Launcher 3' > wipe their data (i see all my app Icons, widget settings are gone)
4. Tried to flash a launcher via USB script according to 4PDA (eventually this one show as 'UI08' in factory settings; And added another 'launcher3' in App list)
i ran out of ideas, did someone had faced the same situation? all i want is a stable launcher, do not jump around on me randomly..
Thanks.
Here are the info of the HU

Here are the Apps screens, see there are four 'Launcher 3', include the one i flashed in

Read forums and enjoy

OP,
If you have the Vivid launcher or any other known launcher, it should appear in the Android settings as an option to choose as the default launcher. You may like to try the Microsoft launcher. That launcher - from memory - will ask if it wants to set as default launcher on first run.
Microsoft Launcher also has a shortcut to Android settings in it's settings.
Post back on how you get on.

Try modifying your config.txt to specify the launcher you want as ro.fyt.launcher. Or maybe comment it out / remove it altogether. You can find it at /oem/app/config.txt. If you're rooted, you can modify this in-place. Otherwise, you'll need to research how to flash it: see 2nd post, section VIII https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...unisoc-ums512-q-a-mods-tips-firmware.4396339/
I only just set mine to nova a few hours ago, but so far it's persisted across a reboot.
I don't recall this behavior in the past, but just updated the firmware on mine and it's been driving me crazy.

All, Thanks for the reply. appreciate the help!
I don't have Root and i am in the process of asking for original firmware from the seller. Before that, honestly i am afraid to modify / delete anything via adb.
Current situation is, i have "factory reset" the HU from factory menu, that wipe all 3rd parties apps, but not the 'UI08' i flashed.
Since then the launcher seems to be able to stay at UI08.
@ludditefornow, I think i have did that somehow. apart from 3rd and 4th pic i posted in the original post, also tried to use some sort of 'hidden menu' apps to open up Android's default setting page. From there it basically gave me the same setting page of pics that i posted.
Also i have tried to ADB "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN", that would call a pop up window on the screen let you select defauly home app. If i remember corrently Nova has similar step during install. Apparently none of mentioned worked.
@ziddey, thanks. i will see what my config.txt looks like. changing "ro.fyt.launcher = xxxxxx" seems promising.
in my observation, in /oem/app, other then "com.android.launcherxxx" apk files that came with the firmware. There is also another item called 'launcher3'. Which i suspect this 'launcer3' is a scheduled task running in the background and trying to keep whatever theme (like UI08) that user selected in factory settings alive.
Other then that, from all my screen pics there is an extra icon on the right of home button (screen's top left). That i have not seen in other Android unit. i kept thinking this what 'launcher3' do as well.

Nice. For what it's worth, I can confirm that changing ro.fyt.launcher resolves the issue. Next time I update/wipe, I'll try just removing that prop entirely.
