MotoSense v0.51 patch (see top of post)
WIPE YOUR PHONE BEFORE ANY FULL IMAGE IS INSTALLED! (Recovery menu - factory reset)
If you don't you might get constant reboots with the M logo
INSTALLATION:
Use G.O.T Recovery / Open Recovery to install this rom.
Currently require you to install a 2.36 stock rom, before you install this one.
Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie.
Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
This can be done using OpenRecovery and a adb shell.
You might check this thread , if a update-nosign.zip file exists for your model. which makes it easier for you to install.

- Reloading of Rosie (HTC Launcer)
Reason for not fixing it is that Motorola Milestone simply do not have enough memory for HTC SenseUI to run stable with only 256MB.
the launcher is very memory hungry for all its plugins and graphics.. so sorry, no fix, unless you add 256MB more memory to your phone.
- Bluetooth headset

OLD REVISION DATA DELETED, OBSOLETE and not worth writing anymore
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your phone.. Image has been tested on a UK milestone and works fine if all files in ADB recovery image is used.
woah, nice work buddy. just got a question, if i apply this rom to my North American Milestone, do i lose the ability to access 3g/hspa network from rogers?
is gps working
i got one guy on IRC from Canada(im from europe, so im not sure on networks you got overthere), he tried it, and it works fine for him
You should try to only flash the system+data image of it, as the cust.img contains telephone info, which might be what you need to keep.
GPS is not working atm..
im new to the motodroids , will this work on the motorola droid or just the milestone ? ive had the droid eris so im not sure if there is a difference between the droid and milestone, sorry for the dumb question,

Porting is no easy task, when its not about development, and zeusdroid actually do have some customized wireless driver.
But i managed to use the existings drivers from Milestone..
And im probably not going to do programming to make the port perfect, as that not so easy, although i got some experience.. but none within driver programming.
im really happy with the progress dext3r, this is awesome.
just curious, any ETA for GPS fix?

if you know your way on a few linux commands,
then you're welcome to make it work yourself.
1 . copy the /system/lib/libgps.so from the original milestone 2.36.0 image.
2. flash motosense image.
3. mount /system
and copy libgps.so into the flashed image into /system/lib
and GPS works after a reboot.. So fixed!
of course all done from adb shell.

10.1 for 2.1 senseui roms are not real, it just looks like 10.1,
but the flashlite already reports that number.
and yes, flashlite works fine. tested on a few flash websites.
I have a Telus Milestone and I will consider trying this ROM at some point.
Just to crosspost from the other thread... in another thread I was told the following. Could be useful for keeping 3G.
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default

So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.
Ok I wasn't able to flash only certain parts of the nandroid backup so what I did was make 1) a full nandroid backup of the Thai firmware (leaked from GOT) on my Telus Milestone unlocked for Fido, 2) a partial nandroid backup using the options --backup --nodata --nocache --nosystem
Then 3) I flashed all of the motosense backup. Trying a first boot. Will report on whether my NAM 3G is gone.
All I get after the M boot logo is a black screen, followed by a force close notification for system. Nothing else comes up. Long-press Home and I get no recent applications. Oh wait - spoke to soon! Wow, just got the HTC lock screen. Unlocked and now I have the setup screen. Asks me to insert SIM to place calls as if I don't have one inserted. My only option seems to be to press "Skip". Okay, home screen loading up now after the tutorial.
So yeah it's not seeing any phone service and I get "Unable to start Wi-Fi". I'm going to try a second reboot. This time the Droid eye shows up promptly (BTW this is very odd to see because Milestones don't usually have that animation). The phone boots up considerably faster than on the Motorlola firmware. *This* time, I do see cell service. In fact I just got a text message. Wait it just dropped again.
Trying to search for network operators. None showing. Strange! It does see wifi though this time. As the OP implied, DHCP not coming through. Meanwhile my Fido service just came back... VERY weak. Dropped again. Normally both EDGE and 3G are quite strong at my apartment so it's odd. Is it possible this ROM has weaker RF somehow?
Ok trying to set up the APN. Noticing the keyboard doesn't light up. APN set up but still no service. Reboot #3: Yes, wifi works now. Mobile network still very weak. Briefly connected to mobile data and it was EDGE. Test phone call fades in and out. Maps manages to wifi-geolocate me.
Alright, so I'm obviously having connectivity problems and only getting 2G. Let's try flashing back the partial I took from the Thai firmware. To be continued next post.
Okay! Flashed back my partial backup from Thai 2.1. Rebooting. Droid eye comes up, glares at me a couple times, back to the homescreen. Connects to Fido. Disconnects, connects again. I am still connected via EDGE, not UMTS. I try going to *#*#4636#*#* and selecting WCDMA only - no dice.
Alright well this has been fun. But obviously I need my phone service to work so this ROM is not for me. Despite having dutifully pasted the info up above about the 5 files to backup... I neglected to do so. So it's back to the full nandroid of my Thai firmware. But one thing for sure, Sense is very pretty!
Before doing this, I made one attempt to install Superuser.apk using the app installer, and then to install Root Explorer. Root Explorer was unable to get root. Maybe if I installed Superuser via OpenRecovery it'd be happier.
Okay back to normal. Goodbye for now Sense!
Backup restored successfully. I used Root Explorer to back up the 5 files in question to SD. Then I restored MotoSense one more time, and before even booting it up the first time I applied root from OpenRecovery. This time it booted much faster. (Is there any way the stock ROM can be hacked to boot this fast? Wow.)
Again, wifi fails to start on boot #1; succeeds but no DHCP on boot #2; works on boot #3. Signed into my Google account and installed Root Explorer (previously purchased). This time Superuser pops up like it should and we're in. I entered Airplane mode. I pasted in the 5 backed up files from the Thai firmware to /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default after mounting read/write. Then I made sure to fix the permissions. Rebooted without exiting airplane mode.
After reboot I disabled airplane mode. Hey, FULL SIGNAL BARS! I did it. But now it's telling me unable to start wi-fi. Let me add in the APN next. Done.
YES! The little H pops up. I'm getting 3G data! But as soon as the icon pops up, it drops out again. In any case I know I'm connected to UMTS because my cell tower ID in Maps > More > About is 1957869 which is my local UMTS tower. Test phone call is *much* clearer and signal isn't dropping anymore. One more reboot.
On the next reboot, wifi is back. Upon disabling it, the lovely "H" shows up and then flits down to "3G". Testing in browser... hmm nope. Something still missing, don't know what. One more reboot, trying again. Internet works on wifi, but not on HSPA (even though the 3G/H icon comes up).
Sanity check: Dialed *#*#4636#*#*, Phone information. Run ping test.
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr unreachable
Ping Hostname (www.google.com): Fail: Host unreachable
One more sanity check: Switched to GSM only, verified in Maps>About that it's connected to a 2G cell ID (57322). Full signal bars, good call quality. So swapping the files improved both 2G and 3G voice performance.
Since I had a bit more success with this approach, I'm saving a backup for future reference, and on my rare moments of idle time I'll play with it again. But back to stock for now.

No mobile internet connection @ BASE germany ....
Someone has a solution?
For those with internet connection problems: put this .xml in a folder named ApnBackupRestore and install APN Backup & Restore from the market.
Start the App and press Restore, select the .xml file and you're good to go

Yes, I've done everything. I have deleted all APNs. Then I manually created the right APN, but that does not help. I think it's a driver problem.
Other users in Germany have the same problem with this rom ...
Works a treat here nice rom.
@blackpitbull
you can try this: open the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
in this menu you're able to change your network type (WCDMA preferred, GSM only....). You can't damage anything playing with these settings, but you can loose your network connection completely. But reverting it back to the previous setting fixes this.
So maybe give this one a shot.
I still believe that your net problems are provider related.

Thanks for you help, but it dosn´t work. I have tried all options, but can´t get a IP adress. in the german android forum some people have test it with me, with different providers D1, D2, Eplus and O2. All can´t get a network connection.
I have very strange problem with my euro 3g xoom. When I bought it it recognized my sim card and network (T-Mobile Hungary). Now I flashed Tiamat 2.2.2 Moray. Of course I had a lot of problems with that one so I went for Hammerhead and flashed 3.2.2 stock rooted too. In every case I did a complete wipe / factory reset and a dalvik cache wipe too.
Now the actual nature of the problem is that I LOST PARTS OF MY 3G SETTINGS. This means I cannot define APN any more nor can I select service provider. Menus are missing. 3g device activation fails with infinite attempt to activate device.
As it appears to me Xoom seems not to recognize my 3g modem at all..
Any suggestion / comment is welcome. Right now I am on 3.2.2 stock rooted with of rogue ran a kernel. Oc 1.5 ghz rock solid, excellent performance no FCs at all, ONLY 3g is not working at all.
Thanks for any support in advance.
My hardware is European Xoom 3g, model nr. MZ-601 - Tegra 250.

UPDATE_1
Tried Rogue Recovery 1.3.0 to see if the Solarnz one based on CWM 3.2.0.0-rc1 is responsible not wiping some faulty settings - no success, still missing menus in Mobile Network settings.u
For ppl who might responde to this rthred: I don't really nee a GUI for setip its okay when u guys tell me which file to edit in order to put in my APN which is very genuine: "internet"
Right now my baseband is "unknown" in the about tablet section....
-p0rt3r-
UPDATE_2
Here is what I have in the Mobile network settings:
Data enabled
Data Roaming
System select
Activate device
And no, I cannot scroll down any further etc.
p0rt3r-
UPDATE_3
Went back to Hammerhead where:
Version 2.1
Fixed all the application signatures - Google applications should update fine now.
All of the language packs are now incorporated into this rom
European 3g support should be 100% working now.
Native screenshot is back
now what I see is:
Data enabled
Data roaming
System select (change CDMA roaming mode) - I am on GSM!
Activate device.
Thats it for Mobile network settings menu.
You need to extract the telephoney files after installation. Bear with me and I will try to find the link. Be back soon.
Ok, here is the thread I think you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089695
You should have backed up your original Euro 3G with CWM (Clockworkmod Recovery)
These are the files you need:
settings.db settings.db-shm settings.db-wal telephony.db telephony.db-journal from the data.img (From your original backup) You will need unyaffs.exe (use google search to get it)
1) Copy (not move) your original data.img to the same folder as unyaffs.exe.
2) Open cmd prompt and change directory to point to the folder now containing the unyaffs.exe and the data.img
3) type "unyaffs data.img" without quotes and press enter.
4)Copy all databases from /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ (above mentioned files)
5) Flash the rom you want i.e. Hammerhead etc. (Best clean install)
6) Then reboot
7) Once booted and signed in etc. open a cmd prompt pointing to adb's location
8) adb remount
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
adb push settings.db-wal /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-wal
adb push settings.db-shm /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db-shm
adb push telephony.db /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
adb push telephony.db-journal /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal
adb reboot
If you have followed the instructions properly then on reboot you should have Euro menu for choosing GSM etc.
Hope this helps. Thanks and credit goes to lowtraxx

diigibio, thank you
diigibio,
thank you. Would be more than happy if you could provide me with som information how to get Hamerhead or any other native Tiamat rom to work on Euro 3g Xoom.
So far I can confirm that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183416
lowtraxx's solution is fine, all working now except Google aps updates but I do not really care for that 3g and wifi functionality is the most important, any other thing is addiional gift
waiting for your info.

Problem solved completely?
Phil,
excellent. I cannot say how much this gonna help for me in the future. As for lowtraxx's 3.2, now I hv Hungarian market on Hammerhead I had US market... not sure if I do Hamerhead or any other Tiamat I will have my native market so I will leave this thread open for a while to see if anybody has experience with the solution you just sent me.
I also hv to say great community here, in 2 hrs u solved my problem. Thank you for this.

Glad I could help. Enjoy. All the best for the New Year from the UK.
Same to u too mate from Hungary
As most users already know, there is a bug in the dual-SIM ICS FTF if you flash it on Xperia E, not being able to manually save APNs. Infact, not being able to create them at all.
Well, I had this and fixed this problem on xmoose's XBoosT ROM , but since its based on the stock ICS firmware, it'll work for it too.
Here's what you want to do to fix it :
METHOD 1:
Disable 'Data Transfer" : Go to Settings > (under Wireless and Networks) More.... > Mobile Networks > UNTICK 'Data Enabled'
Go Back, and turn ON Airplane Mode
Wait till its completely turned on
As soon as its turned on, turn it back OFF
Now go set up your APNs!!
Hit the THANKS !!
P.S : I believe the bug was because the ROM could not detect the MCC and MNC port numbers of your respective carrier. But this fixes it. Weird.
UPDATE: Looks like this bug exists in the Dual SIM variant too. To fix it on DS phones, follow these: OK, it seems the bug isn't device-specific. Just try either method (if Method 1 doesn't work, try Method 2)
METHOD 2:
NOTE: You'll need a working Wi-Fi network with for this!
Connect to any Wi-Fi network
Go to Settings > Dual SIM card > Untick SIM 1, and then tick it back again
Go to Settings > Xperia (TM) > Internet settings
The APNs should get downloaded and be working!
(Thanks to @TheRealSS for Method 2)
Will try this,if you are sure it works,let @UltraGamerHD note this in his Official thread under "How To"

Well, atleast its working now...wasn't that the whole point?
When flashing the Motorola Moto G 2015 with any custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, Resurrection Remix, Lineage), the PRL information sticks until a reboot from custom ROM.
When rebooting, the phone has internet access (including Hotspot), however no text messages, inbound/outbound phone calls do not work. The fix has been flashing Virgin Mobile stock ROM in TWRP recovery, programming the phone (##72786#) and then restoring a backup from custom ROM via TWRP recovery. Then the phone will again be able to send/receive text messages and phone calls - until the next reboot.
Would like to know if there is a fix to bypass reflashing stock ROM if phone needs rebooting from custom ROM. This process takes about 15 - 20 minutes. Big nuisance.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Copy this APN (see the attachments), to system/etc and set permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r-- with a root explorer. Reboot. Go to settings>more>cellular networks, select LTE in Preferred network type, and RUIM/SIM in system select. Tap the "carrier settings" option at the very bottom. All the radios will reset and come back on in a few seconds, and everything should work after that. Let me know if you need any more assistance, I'll be happy to help. I've had to deal with this issue since day one.
Edit; You will only have to do this after flashing a ROM, and this includes updates too. It can also be done through TWRP's file manager immediately after flashing before you even boot it the first time, and without root.

Cyanogenmod 12.1 does not have the menu - settings>more>cellular networks. Is this done via stock ROM?
Also, don't have RUIM/SIM in system select. Only 'Home Only' and 'Automatic'.

Try rebooting the ROM without your sim card in. Then put it back and reboot once more. It should reset. I didn't realize you were still using cm12. Those settings are only found in 6.0.1 and up. The apn settings not being visible has something to do with us being CDMA. I think it's the sim cards virgin uses.
You also need to add these lines to the end of your build.prop too. (Not needed on MM+)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311490
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Virgin Mobile US
ro.telephony.default_network=8
telephony.slteOnCdmaDevice=1

While waiting for your reply, I copied the APNS-Conf.xml file attached to your original reply to the system/etc folder on phone and rebooted. Inbound/outbound phone calls and text messages seem to be working now. Even performed a backup in TWRP and then rebooted again. All seems to be operating properly.
I did not add the build-prop text you gave in previous reply. What exactly does this build-prop text do? I'm hesitant in adding it as everything is operational - the old saying 'don't fix what isn't broken'.
I was using Cyanogenmod 13, however, I did not like some of the Cyanogenmod 13 apps, i.e., text messaging app. The Cyanogenmod 12.1 texting app has many features that CM 13 doesn't. Also, CM 12.1 seemed to run smoother on the Motorola Moto G 2015 phone I'm currently using.
Also would be interested in knowing where the apns-conf.xml file was pulled from and what all this file did to make everything work again.
FYI, as standard procedure I always mount system and then flash the Virgin Mobile APNFix (which I've attached for anyone running across this thread in need of this file) in TWRP after flashing a new ROM and associated GAPPS , however, it seems that the apns-conf.xml file became corrupt/unusable somewhere along the line.
Your efforts in helping me solve this issue are appreciated.

If everything is working properly, then don't worry about adding those lines. I had to add those and the apn to get LTE working on the older test builds of cm12. As far as I know, it just locks you to virgin. It was likely fixed in later builds of cm12.
The APN I pulled from an older build of cm13. When flashing the older ones, the install process would locate and copy virgin's current apn to /system/etc and rename Motorola's default APN to .bak. (The giant 500kb+ APN with all the carriers found in stock.) It would also add a US Cellular APN. I discovered at some point from poking around enough, that deleting the .bak and US Cellular APNs got LTE working if I reset the radio afterwards.

This is a nice and informative thread for anyone that has the same issues that you and I have had with Virgin Mobile APN's. Hopefully it will be added to Google searches soon.
Appreciate all the help.
