Same here. I have an Evo on Cricket including market and apps except for MMS. The autostart/u2nl method for the Eris works on the Evo using the same autostart.sh script (unmodified). However the 3G connection is flaky and times out frequently. Also I get random Data Call error 98 messages related to Sprint stuff still on the phone. (I'm running a rooted stock 2.1 ROM)
I also noticed that during the toast root process I was able to ##778# (quite to my surprise) then it went away when I flashed the whitslack update ROM (upgrades radio, wimax, etc).
The strange thing re: MMS is that I tried the APN backup/restore option which worked on the Eris and it "appears" to work. The configuration settings within the Message application "look" right for Production but alas I still cannot receive or send pic messages. No biggie (I ain't paying someone just to get MMS working) but would be nice to have it working. Seems like overkill to have to create an entire ROM just to get MMS working.
Anyway...it's quite frustrating since the Eris works perfectly on Cricket with the autostart/u2nl solution.

##778# and any other ## command doesnt work for me anymore. any ideas to fix?

What alternative is there to access ##778 options other than the dialer?

Anycut can link to EPST settings.
Chances are the reason it works in one rom and not another is due to the apk's installed. look for differences in the framework folder - the lib folder - and the /system/app folder from your rom that is working the rom that is not.
I belive the EPST settings are native to stock HTC roms and thus not included in a cyanogen based rom (thats how it is on the eris at least). Most people on the phone's true network will never need EPST so it may be getting removed by the rom developer to cut down on space and increase speed etc.
just my thoughts.

Kik Messenger Issue

I have issues with Kik Messenger's messages not being pushed properly to my phone when on a custom rom.
What I have tried so far:
Axura 2.1 w/JK3 modem
Axura 2.2 w/JK4 modem
Axura 2.2 w/JL3 modem
Cognition v2.3b7 (defaults)
Perception Build 8 (defaults)
Symptoms (the are the same for all of the above):
After first installing the rom and the kik messenger program it appears to work as advertised. After about 5 minutes of use is when the problems start and never fix themselves. Kik Messenger will *only* receive messages when I am typing to someone. If I switch to another application it will *not* receive any new messages until I open the program and start typing to someone. I checked the running services and Kik Push Service is still running in the background. I have not used any task killers either. I have received messages up to a full 24hrs late because of this
Strangely, this issue doesn't exist on the stock rom from Samsung. If anyone has any clue of what I could change, it would be greatly appreciated. I know custom roms have a hosts file that blocks ads etc., I wonder if this could have something to do with it (although I doubt it).
TIA

Answer bolded above.

I'd love a solution to, other then "go back to stock rom"

Try the developer?

I deleted the hosts files, does the same thing....

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. The answer is quite obvious. It's your Android ID. None of the ROMs that you have been using have a unique Android ID, they are all the same. You need to obtain your original, uniquie Android ID for your phone. You can do this by flashing back to stock JF6 or JH7, copying your settings.db file to your computer, opening it with whatever SQLite editor you fancy, and then updating the settings.db on your custom ROM with your unique ID. And problem solved.
Here is the Get Satisfaction page from KIK where they discuss the issue.
http://getsatisfaction.com/kik/topi...atically_received_when_phone_is_idle_too_long

Oh wow....
Thanks
Does that affect any other app ?

Ok it worked... I used http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=android+id+changer to put the new Android_ID, less of a pain in the ass to do.
If you have an ClockworkMod Backup you can use these the 2 files in the zip attaches, extract them to the folder where you have your img and just type unyaffs datadata.img to exctract the content of the img files and get your android ID. (the settings.db you need is in the datadata.img file, in \databases\com.android.providers.settings\ folder) use SQLite Editor : http://goo.gl/cPv8z to check the Android_ID open the .exe, load the extracted settings.db and go to browse data, choose secure in the drop down and down there you should have your android_id.
Thanks miztaken1312 for the hint.

I knew about that app, but I'm one for security. I trust no one and nothing with anything on my phone. So if that app can access my settings.db file, it can access more. Unfortunately, there are some really sneaky little ****s out there.

Thanks a ton guys, this was making me go crazy!
Going to flash back to stock, make the appropriate changes and then give Assonance 5.0 a try with the new settings.

[Q] I deen to change proxy and APN on my infuse .

Will flashing to Infused v1.5.3 allow me to change APN and proxy? I need to edit these for another network. Stock os will not allow changes.

There's an app for that: APN Backup & Restore works wonders. I have my Infuse on StraightTalk, so I'm in the same boat as you.

Thanks
Many thanks...been playing with iphone for years...andriod is new to me...still think i will upgrade the os...just to see if I can brick my phone

Visual Voice Mail for AOSP [Need Help]

I'm trying to get Verizon Visual Voicemail working on CM10 on SGS3. I have 3 different apk's:
Verizon's Visual Voicemail from the market (pulled from my DInc)
Verizon's Visual Voicemail Nexus from the market (after a few build.prop edits)
Stock Touchwiz Visual Voicemail (Thanks to NoSympathy)
Both market versions install without a problem, but have connection timeouts when trying to verify my vvm subscription.
The Touchwiz version won't even install.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm digging through the apk's to try and find why both market versions time out.

I would try stuff from the gnex since it is built for AOSP

The Visual Voicemail Nexus app from the market is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
I was digging through the code last night until about 10:00 and I'm starting to think it may be an APN problem...

You are correct, however - I think what con's trying to refer you to is what I'd try first - go online and search "verizon galaxy nexus visual voicemail apk", find it, download it, transfer to your phone, and install from "unknown souce". It may work right off the bat, but it may not also. If not, it sure will give you a good starting point with where to go with it since A) its already build for AOSP and B) already built to communicate with the Verizon network.
Good luck!

Rather than beating your head in trying to get it to work you could save the 3 or 4 bucks a month and just use Google voice, is kind of irritating through the initial setup but in the end works well and does the same thing. Just my 0.02

Could you post the apk for the Stock one? I've been trying to get my hands on it since synergy ROM doesn't have it included and now I can't even see any of the voicemail apps in the market. Short of flashing back to stock ripping it and then re-flashing the ROM I don't know how else to get ahold of it lol.

With the Droid Incredible I had to do these steps to get Verizons visual voice mail to work with CM7.2
Use file manager and go to "/system"
Mount the folder R/W(Read/Write
open build.prop in Text Editor
look for "ro.horizontalVvvm = True" and chenge it to False
look for "ro.horizontalBUA = True" and change it to False
save your edit, and back out to thr "/system" folder. Once again switch the directory back to R/O, exit your apps and reboot.
You shoulkd now be able to install your Vvm.apk without it telling you to uninstall it because one is already installed.
Note I am using Virtuous rom however it should work for most roms I would imagine.
If you do not have a Vvm.apk here is one from the Droid X but it works great on my incredible. Looks almost like the stock incredible version.

The stock vvm app installs fine, it just hangs while trying to verify the subscription. I thought it might have been the ro.horizontal.vvm line in the build.prop like on cm7, but that line wasn't even in there. I added it just to see and it made no difference. I switched to Google voice and I'm loving how it integrates directly into the phone app instead of having to run a separate vvm app. Thanks for the post.
Btw, anyone wanting the stock tw or old Verizon apk, feel free to pm me and ill send it to you.

Sorry for not being too much help, but is Verizon's VVM better than Google Voice?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Even when it was working on tw, no. Google voice is infinitely better, especially once you have it incorporated into the aosp phone app. The voice mails show up in your call log. Only problem is had was recording my greeting. After the initial setup, it's totally seamless.

The only problem I have with using google voice is that it like stores all my text messages. Not cool.
otherwise I'd use google voice. Unles there is a way to turn that off.

If you go into the settings for gv, there's a setting to pick what app receives text messages.

Hey so while Im glad that many of you are finding GVoice is a solution for you, but Im still hoping for a VV apk that works on the GS3. Anyone know a solution for the rest of us? Thanks.

I never got VVM to work. But foud a good app called you mail works just like verizion but its free

[GUIDE] How to enable sms/mms on the V410

So I figured out how to send and recieve sms on the V410
This will only work if you have texting on your carriers data plan.
BACK UP FIRST because you'll be editing the build prop..
I am not responsable for your lack of understanding if you boot loop.
1) First, you can download one of these mms apks from this thread and install: (mms will not work though, only sms)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...hemed-apps-kitkat-4-4-2-mms-apk-dark-t2519733
Or you can use Google Messenger: (my preference because mms works)
http://www56.zippyshare.com/v/EyGnHgRz/file.html
2) Next download this Xposed Module and enable, but don't reboot yet:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.makuser.nexussms
3)Then with a build prop editing app like Build Prop Tweaker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksharkapps.buildproptweakerlite, edit this line in the buildprop:
telephony.sms.send
Change from false to true then save.
4)Reboot.
5)Now when you open up the mms app or Messenger you'll have to set it to default unless you want to use Hangouts.
6)Text freely
Mms will NOT work on stock KitKat messaging apps do to limited apns on the device. Google Messenger has built in apns which allows for mms and sms.
BONUS:
Transparent and Blacked Out Google Messenger.

Nothing is working? Are you sure you saved the build prop edit? What did you use to edit it?

hey
I tired the steps but when I am changing the telephony from false to true. It just go back to false. Is it because my lg g pad is still locked on a network and not recognizing the sim that is in?

Because your build prop is not saving it. You HAVE yo use a build prop editing app, not the one in the root file managers.. Also if your data plan doesn't include texting it won't work.. Maybe it will work with a 3rd party text service, but haven't tried.

This happened to me when I tried to change from false to true without rooting the tablet. After I did the root, it worked fine.

I tried the method above to no avail. I was on the stock ROM and rooted. I flashed the Candy5 ROM as mad_g can "text SMS with out problems!!" from that ROM. Still no joy on texting from this tablet, although I do like the Candy ROM, so thank you lol. I'm on AT&T with unlimited texting. I tried multiple SMS apps including Google Messenger. The text shows as sent, but is never received on the other end. I tried with WiFi both on and off. Am I missing something obvious?
**Edit**
I have since confirmed that I have flashed the LP 5.1 version of the Xposed framework, but now, I go into the buildprop editor, and I do not have a "telephony.sms.send" option.
I still think I am missing something obvious...

I had trouble at first, but realized i had to install Xsposed framework first THEN install the sms enabler module. it worked flawlessly after that and rebooting. Can't figure out how to receive calls yet but that's a separate thing lol
