[Q] Synergy MMS No longer Shows 5MB max size - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just noticed a weird Issue. After I Flashed Syngery RC2 I checked my MMS settings and changed them to 5 mb. Well the other day I opened up settings and Checked Max Message Size It says 200, 500, and 1 M opposed to the larger options it had before.
I flashed a couple of things I think it may be the transparent Notification bar as when looking in the Zip it had Mms.apk in it, I replaced the Mms.apk in that zip with the one from the rom and reflashed and still no New Max Message size, So something else must be missing.
I also Flashed a different Kernel, (Not sure if that mod was in the kernel) I am just trying to figure out what Broke it and how to fix it. I am hoping I don't have to Reflash the Rom althought, I suppose I was looking for a reason to Try Godzilla Mode.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Phone button on Rosie not working

Hi Guys,
My phone button on my Rosie stopped working (was working earlier). Not sure what I installed that caused the problem. I get a blank grey dialog box when I press it and I can't seem to fix it. Tried different themes with no success. Using Fresh's 3301 rom with Bigrushdog's Caulkin's Aloysius fix them, Caulk's 5mb and compress mms fix's and Net's OC kernal on an EVO 4g.

[Q] UOT update -partial failure

Strange issue - generated a .zip file from UOT including battery mod, custom icons and boot animation.
When I flashed the first one it seemed to work, but I've noticed that not all the icons on the status bar have been updated, for example the wifi and signal strength ones are original GB, all the others seem to have changed.
Ran a second .zip with a few changes and produced an error message on install saying it couldn't update the boot animation, although the new animation is there.
Confused....
Do you only have gingerbread theme or also a gingerbread rom? If you have a gingerbread rom you can only use the battery icon and boot animation option form the kitchen. The rest of the icon's are no longer in the framwork.res.apk, so they won't work.
Well, that makes it even more confusing. The boot ani and battery icon can be changed, but my first UOT theme also changed the other icons eg downloading, updating, preparing SD card etc. All of them in fact apart from the network signal strength and wifi icons.
Flashed back to original ROM (GingerVillain0.9) for now. But still none the wiser.
I got something from UOT today and it made me boot loop. Strange thing is ive used it loads of times and I know it was the right framework...
I wondered about the framework so I tried uploading the file from the ROM zipfile, but it didn't help.
As I said I decided in the end to restore back to the basic version and leave it alone for now. Might try just the battery mod on its own as I quite like the percentage values - not bothered about the rest really.

Will there be a MIUI 1.3.25 MetroPCS build??

I've recently switched to MIUI 1.3.25 GB build, and love it. Best ROM in my opinion. But MMS doesn't work for whatever reason (mind you my EVO is on MetroPCS). Before it was working fine on the Sense Rom, but the Sense Rom is garbage compared to MIUI GB.
Anyways so I found this MIUI 1.29 MetroPCS Edition build by "Bloody". I installed it and MMS works fine, but I honestly would like to keep the latest MIUI build. So does anyone know if there will be a MIUI 1.3.25 MetroPCS build?
EDIT: I got a reply from bloody, I guess apparently you should be able to install his mms script he built to a working MIUI Rom and it should work. (which I tried but didn't work, so I'm guessing I did something wrong. But I'll keep messing with it til I figure it out). Will keep this thread up-to-date so if anyone else has the same problem.
Ok so I tried this agian and made some progress. I restored my bkup of MIUI 1.3.25 GB Rom, I guess if you wanted you can just do a fresh install.
Second, flash "MetroPCS_Web_MMS_Evo_AOSP_v4.zip" file. Now once you reboot after flashing, you'll notice that the MMS app is gone and probably wondering what the heck happened. Well the new MMS app is installed but you just don't see it.
Deleted the previous MMS app which at this point should look like a missing app cause the os can't find it. Using Root Explorer (you can use any other app that can do the same thing) I went to system/app/mms.apk and intalled it. Its gona ask if you want to overwrite the current mms app, just hit ok. Now reboot and you should now see the MMS app appear back on the screen. Click on it, and you'll notice its not as nice as the original MMS app that comes with MIUI 1.3.25.
This is as far as I've gotten I tried sending my self a pic msg but never received it. So I'm redoing the entire process to see if it works then.
Ok here it is, I have everything working. Remember this is for EVO's on MetroPCS, if you're still on sprint, they you should be fine with just flashing the latest MIUI on your phone.
This only works if your phone is already provisioned and already on MetroPCS.
1. Install latest MIUI using their steps that they've provided
2. Once your phone is booted, mount the SDcard and copy the MetroPCS Evo AOSP MMS & Web Script v4 to the root of the SDcard.
3. Flash the zip file, you should see it deleting and installing some files.
4. Once you've rebooted, you'll notice the original MMS app gone. Just reboot your phone again.
5. When booted up for the final time, the MMS app should appear again. When you click on it, you'll notice its a different app from the original. The original is cool but, this one still works great.
Also you'll notice at the top where it usually would say SprintPCS, now it says MetroPCS.
This is for EVO's with MIUI on MetroPCS that do not have mms working. This should fix it. Hope this helps.

[Q] Blazer 4.1 Bugs- No MMS

I recently upgraded from Blazer 4.0 rom with stock EL29 kernel- and modem to 4.1
and the only bug I can find is no mms function- It says sending- and it also said failed 2 times. tried sending to other people as a test- still not sent- although it says sending- had no problem with 4.0. I even tried switching kernel to gunslinger
but all that did was eat up battery at a ridiculous pace. ( used tegrak to set clocking to 1200, . I also flashed zip file for mms fix- and it didnt fix. Hopefully- someone can help out- tried clearing out sms cache. no help there.
I also wih there was a easy to id log & description of what zip file/fix for a respective bug- I really like this rom...but- contacting phantom hacker is- TOUGH.
( I know hes a very busy and talented guy...)

I have 4.1 as my daily driver never had an issues with mms... Did you check if your mms url is right... I have mine on boost mobile cause that's my carrier so yours should be what ever carrier you have.. Also try a profile update and a prl update
If the updating prl doesn't work. You could try wiping the cache and dalvic in recovery then reboot. If worse comes to worse wipe everything and install again.

Try wiping everything and re-flashing.
For me, I had to connect to 4G because the 3G would not do.
Also, are you using any sort of program like GO SMS, Handcent, Chomp SMS?
Update profile and prl then reboot. This always worked for me.
Any mms in the "sending" stage wont go through unless you send another mms in that same thread. I usually just long press the pic and delete message then send another fresh

Use Root Explorer and go into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and delete the telephony.db file. I do believe that will work.
I think the only bug in 4.1 is the stock video codecs. 4.0 plays videos flawlessly in the stock video player but freezes on 4.1 or it just won't play avi's or wmv and etc.

Just start rom scratch my friend. Stock el29 with root one click then add cwm then back to blazer 4.1. I have heard about people complaining about that lately on Facebook so I could be sprint not your phone.

[Q] Massive time drifts, any ROM.

First of all, hello everyone.
Few days ago I bought used htc Desire phone. In the next day I noticed that my clock drifts off the real time.
It takes 68 seconds for a minute to pass and it realy pisses me off, since I've missed so many classes in past few days because of that.
I've flashed numerous ROM's and nothing changed. I've been trying with 2.2.2 stock, 2.3.3 stock, Mildwild based on oxygen, Runnymede AIO, Runny RSK, some ICS roms etc,etc,etc. Every damn time that happens.
Before every flashing I perform full wipe and wipe dalvik cache. I even falshed stock hboot to CM7r2 in hopes it would change something. The only solution is app ClockSync but since i'm not on Data plan I can use it only when I'm home.
Is there anything I could change in software of whatever to make it count correctly? Also I tried TimeZone Fixer but nothing...
ATM I have installed official CM 7.1
very very strange behaviour
hboot will have nothing to do with time...only modifies partition spaces. it's strange that it's occurring on any rom, which makes me think it's something to do with phone's internal clock.
there should be an option in settings-> date and time-> automatic
make sure the automatic option is checked, it should poll the network provided value, don't think it uses any data?
I've checked, unchecked it and it doesn't change the time at all. Is it possible to change phones "Automatic time" source?
Don't think you can change the source as it's from your network provider. Only thing I can suggest is to reboot after you've re-selected that option.
I don't want to sound dismissive, but you could use a proper watch and alarm clock if this strange problem persists. The solution is not always within the phone
