[Q] De-Odex Stock Rom?

Hi, I would like to De-Odex the rom I currently have on my phone.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I've read:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html
and
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-themes/4620-how-manually-deodex-your-phone.html (there is also a post about this on here)
The xUltimate tool will not work for me, so I need another option.
Phone: HTC Evo
ROM: Stock 3.29 OTA
Rooted (ofc)
Thanks for the help.

Sorry if this is no help, but a deodexed version of the 3.29 OTA is posted somewhere in the dev section. Is there a particular reason why you want to deodex it yourself?

I've been switching between roms but I keep coming back to my original stock one. It's still odex'd and I would like to theme the battery icon on the status bar without having to set everything back up on a fresh rom. Since it reads half when 80% of my battery is remaining.
Thanks for the quick response.

It wasn't that it didn't work.
I just got an error with Java, not sure how to fix it. Some said to re install java, but i've installed JRE and JDK from 5u20 to 6u21 (32 and 64 bit). Everything I tried gave the same error.
I am going to try asking on their forum and see if they can tell me what I did wrong.
I have a feeling it has to do with the 3.29 OTA update. :-/
Good luck and if you get it to work please let me know your setup.
and if you can't run step 3 let me know... that way I am not the only one to seem that crazy.
option 1 and 2 just adb pulls your /system/apps and your framework.

just got stuck starting option 3:
Starting AccountSyncManager.odex
*Deodexing...
Error occurred while loading boot class path files. Aborting.
org.jf.dexlib.Code.Analysis.ClassPath$ClassNotFoundException....
lower it says
at org.jf.baksmali.baksmali.dissambleDexFile(baksmali.java:103)
and it just gives some more errors until i close it down
i was sooo excited to get this done!

Ahhh! I'll see what I can find out on their forums.
Despite the tutorial saying "Manually De-Odex Your Phone" I think it may be just for droid phones. It was posted in the Moto Droid sections of the forums.
Here is the error I was getting:
Code:

dang it...
i just updated my java and nothing, still same error. well let me know what they say. i was about to make an account to post over there but i'll let you do it then.

If you want to add anything my post is located:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/85223-xultimate-errors.html
Both our problems have "org.jf.baksmali" involved.
Hopefully we'll have some answers soon.

well i ran a test and everything said pass, including the odex and deodex. i installed the latest java, and same problem. i had the phone originally as mass storage, so i tried under charge only, and still same problem.
i really hope we get a solution to this

I did some more reading and it seems that app is designed specifically for droid x phones.
I'm now going to try a more hands on approach using avabox...will update tonight.

Were you able to get it DeOdexed?
I found this after some searching... It seems to be the LONG way to deodex an apk. It was written in 2009 so idk how reliable it will be.
http://androidnetwork.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=55
Edit: Link to Avabox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697459
[UPDATE] I tried Avabox and it de-odexed all of the files that I adb pulled. I copied the De-Odexed files back to their respective folder on the /system/, and deleted "rm /system/app/*.odex" (Removing all the .odex files) and rebooted.
I got stuck on the white "HTC Evo 4G" screen and could not get passed it.
I am not sure what I messed up. Maybe I need to resign the files? I'll try that tomorrow.
Let me know how your attempt went. :]

When I left for school I left the script deodexing my app folder...it seems to have done the job and there were no errors. It's doing the process for the framework files now.
Once I move it over to the phone we 'll see if it worked...
I'll update here when I find out...
Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...

i just tried that too and i got stock in a bootloop.
the avabox script does deodex all the app files. it doesn't do that for the framework files...it seems it'll only deodex .apk files.
anyways, i deleted everything from my /system/app folder and then pushed over the deodexed apks...i also did this for the two apk files from system/framework and the phone did the bootloop thing. so i put back the original /system/framework files, effectively only leaving changed the contents of /framework/app/ and still, bootlooping.
i'm restoring right now...i'll try it some more at another time.
let me know if you figure it out!

I was reading some of the comments on this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598026) They we're saying about problems with de-odexing the framework.
Do we need to resign system apps before we push them back?
I am optimizing my apks now, going to batch resign then try putting just the apks back on.

Well I messages avalaunchmods asking the same thing...if anyone knows it should be him...
Update if you get it working please!
Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...

Unfortunately, I still don't have any good news. :[
I tried resigning the de-odexed apk's and replacing the ones on my phone.
This got stuck at the white HTC Evo 4G screen.
This failed
Then I optimized, signed, and zipaligned.
This threw me into an actual boot loop. (I was excited... It's the first boot loop i've gotten.)
This failed.
Here is some semi-less-bad news.
I used http://circle.glx.nl/ to make a flashable update.zip for theme-ing. I Flashed it with success and was able to get to the lock screen. Sense UI along with just about every other system app kept force closing.
But I was able to successfully (even though I got FC's) theme and boot using that kitchen.
I am going to mess around with the different settings there and see if I can atleast theme my phone.
Any luck with your attempts?

i was at school all day - no news from me. this is very discouraging though.
i'm surprised nobody else has chimed in! considering how many people are making and releasing roms, some people must know what's going on here

Good news (kinda)
I was able to theme my framework-res.apk without any errors or FC's.
I didn't do anything to De-Odex it but it accepted the theme when I manually edited it.
There must be an xml that scripts how the battery is displaying %'s
since I have 89% of my battery remaining but the themed battery is showing 80%.
I'll dig around and see where it is and add it to my next framework recompile.
We're you interested in just themeing or the whole de-odexing (apps & framework)
If you want to theme it i'll write up a decent tutorial on what I did.
If not I'll write up a quick tutorial for the next root newbie who wants to theme.
Going to test run it and make sure I didn't mess much up.
Edit3: The bad, it would appear that you can't modify the .xml's of the framework. You can only change the pictures.
So the battery wont be able to have the exact %.
Modifying of any .xml leads me to a boot loop.
Tips are appreciated on fixing this.
I'll keep trying.

so here is what i've learned.
i had modified both .com.htc.resources and framework-res before. those files, at least in my rom, are not odexed. everything else in the framework folder is a mix of files, .jar files and other formats, including services.jar, which is odexed. that's why if we change the services.jar file, without the phone being deodexed, it wont work.
that's why i want to deodex my rom. i have too many changes already and dont want to re-do them in another, deodexed rom.
my main interest in deodexing the rom is to have the working battery percentage on top (which used to work on THIS rom before, without deodexing???) and to have a transparent notification tray.
and from there being able to make any other changes as they come up...
i'll see when i have some more time to try out other options, but chances are you will have time before me, so keep updating!

[Q] fb21 recovery

so i dont want to sound like a complete noob but does anyone know where i can find a fb21 recovery? i am about to install [ROM][TN] MIJJz BLEND ICS [FB21] "THE GOODNESS" [WIP][2/23/2012] however, im a little confused because it says after flashing the rom be sure to install a recovery. Now, i do know that fb17 has a rogue recovery but according to the posts people are having issues with it because it is not made for fb21. I have searched for one for fb21 but cant seem to find one compatible with it. There are a few things for this rom that require flashing to have full capabilities and would like to do so.
Thanks to anyone who can give me a little input.

No they are working on re-packing CMW with a fb21 kernal. You can try the fb15 as you can always odin back to 21. Some people are using rom manager and flashing the recovery fron at&t, but i readnis not a good idea.
E4GT=IPhone killer

Exactly what he said. Also, when using the FB15 recovery you will keep a bootanimation too, which is a must for me =D. disclaimer- I used FB17 with no issues, so if you decide to use it, you should be fine, if it has issues just odin to fb15 again.

thank you for that. Just flashed the rom and recovery works great so far (a little lag but that will soon be fixed im sure). I did get yellow triangle but i dont really care to much about that. Do you happen to know why when i connect the device to the computer it is not mounting the sd card?

also does anyone know where i can get a stock mms.apk? i cant recieve any texts on here and this is what was said to make it work. Problem is idk where to get that.

The ICS builds aren't recognizing the sd cards yet mang! it's an issue everyone has until it's fixed. Hmm which FB21 did you flash? I don't have any issue on stock deodexed FB21, but I wasn't getting text's on TNZ Blend ICS when I tried it, but I believe he has a fix for it. If your on stock I'm honestly not sure because I haven't had any issue with text messaging at all.
---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------
Lol shoot sorry, just noticed you said you were going to BLend ICS lol duh! my bad mang. I think his fix was to delete the mms smiley.apk, to do this you need a file explorer with read/write permissions, such as root explorer or something similar then go into system/app and find the mms smiley.apk and delete it and you should be good.

awesome thank you!! just delete it or replace it? i saw that on the fourm it says to replace it with stock mms but idk where to get that. but other than that looks now all I have to do is wait on some more development of ics and ill be golden!!

No problem. Just noticed he updated the thread for his rom, your correct, before he had said just to delete but I guess people were still having issues with the mms.apk. I guess the way to get the mms working now is to delete the original mms.apk, and get a different mms.apk from another rom. The deletion process is the same for getting rid of the original mms.apk (root explorer method) to get the new mms.apk, just go ahead and download another ics rom that's based of the build version your using (fb17, fb21) extract the zip and go through the files (can't remember where it's located exactly) but find the mms.apk and place it on your sd card. Than, using root explorer agian or something similar, move the mms.apk from your sd card to your system/app and paste it there, and you should be good. That's all if you want the original mms icon, and be able to receive messages with it. If you just wanna receive texts, then install a 3rd party mms app off of the market and just disable notifications and it should work. I'm not the best at explaining this stuff but hope this helped broski!

WiFi Tether MB1 Roms Built-in NOT WORKING - DEVS Please READ

Hello all!
No, is not other WiFi Tether don't work on MB1, what I can do?
Confirmed not Working.
If you Set it to WiFi Reload it works but breaks you Wifi until you reboot, but if you set Wifi Reload 2, then you don't broadcast, but you can use WiFi.
Current solution(at least for me) stay on MA6.
Developers with TrevE Mod Built-in. Roms like MOAR, TPR, cant talk about other because I just tested that 2.
You are using TrevE Mod 08/20, latest for TrevE is 08/22.
LATEST for Wifi-Tether for Root Users is based on TrevE Mod.
Please Developers DONT add WiFi Tether on your MB1 Roms, It wont work and its a pain replacing one System Apps with an User App.
Users which want to Test/Update a current/lastest version of WiFi Tether, I recommend to convert Wifi Tether to a User App with TB and them replace it. It WONT be updated/replaced if you have it as a System App.
EDIT: Forget about all that crap. Fixed renaming ConectionManager.apk to .bak.
I froze it first with TB and everytime the phone wake up, Sprint Connection Optimizer failed to start, without any message. Just the typical Wi-Fi tether WTH!
Still devs please update to 08/22
Have a nice day.

Have no clue what you are talking about. Obviously I am using TPR. Turn off wifi (although why would you need tether if there is wifi is beyond me), enable wifi tether (all automatic settings chosen), use it..works fine, stop tethering, turn wifi on, works fine.
Something is broken in your setup.
Friendly Neighborhood Moderator

Just to prove my point this is being sent using the wifi tether. I will turn it off and add to this post from my phone back on wifi.
Edit: this is me on wifi one minute after turning off tether.
My advice is to odin back to pure stock and do not restore anything. Then flash TPR and set your phone up all over.. Again DO NOT Restore anything and use default settings of wifi tether.

Works perfectly for me. On

There are no framework changes on MB1 from MA6. Look at the update zip.
No one else has reported this and there are over a 1000 downloads of the 3.12 MB1 version of TPR.
Like I demonstrated it works fine. Odin to stock on your phone and start over. You have something corrupted.
When you posted this in the TPR thread, no one agreed or confirmed it with you.
If it is on 2 phones then you have done something similiar to both that has corrupted your system.

Did you read that link? He had the same problem with MA6...I suspect he has bad data from several flashes...some that have included the app in system, then adding the app again in data. I did not see him state he clean flashed.
Changing kernels without running the kernel cleaner will also cause you to have wifi problems.
Let me know what happens when you go into CWM, format system, format data, format cache, flash the ROM, sign in only and try wifi tether.

Install deodexed, flash stock kernel, kernel cleaner. I dont do dirty flashes.
Then run Wi-Fi tether, stop tethering Wifi working.
Make it again, no WiFi.

So you are saying you have to cycle through several times for this to fail?
Just went through 5 times consecutively without issue.
Do you format /system and /data? That is the only way to be sure it is a clean flash. You will need to uncheck your auto-restore options so your wifi settings are not restored and not restore ANY system data. Either way I would have thought a Q&A thread would have made more sense before a thread like this.
It seems this is working fine for 99.99% of everyone so hardly warrants a thread with caps in the title.

Yes. wiped data/system. Still. :/
About Caps please refer to Post 11.
I just only want to a Dev(like you) to try. And it works for you. So I will have a nice time playing with my phone.
You can move/lock/edit the caps. You are the mod.
Thank you for replying my annoying post.

Lol... Ok... So you went into cwm and chose format /system and format /data, flashed the ROM, did not allow it to restore any of your apps or settings and this still happens? Remember you have to turn these auto restore settings off before you start formatting and make sure Google has time to sync them.
I was mainly saying since your phone seems to be in the minority you should have tried a thread in Q&A first and you would have gotten a better feel for the few that may have a similiar problem and lots of suggestions on how to attempt to fix it.

I got it. I was freezing Sprint Connection Optimizer.

Im using freeza mb1 odex with mb1 base and non of the wifi tethers will work im having the exact issue the original poster is having.
And spiderman
...
Some people travel for business and cant afford wifi. Why even root if you cant.
I cwm recovered back to LJ7 for now.

I fixed it by:
Disabling Sprint Connection Optimizer
Going to /System/Apps with Root Explorer with r/w permissions and renaming ConnectionManager.apk adding a .bak to the end.
Also use TrevE Mod 8/22
Set to Netd-Ndc.
Set encryption as usual.
But the most important is renaming ConnectionManager.apk don't bother freezing it with TB.
Reboot.

[MOD] Enable HOTSPOT for 4.4.3 Sense 6.0 ( 5.28.605.2 update ) 09/05/2014

All,
After attempting to find a solution to the WifiTether_TrevE_Mod not working after 4.3 ( 2.10.605.1 ). I have found an alternate solution to use the native HOTSPOT application and it does not prompt to subscribe to it for those of us who have unlimited data.
I cannot take full credit for finding the fix for this I had to look in the following for the XML edits: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467651&page=7
The update script is by andybones, and i modified it, and the xml.
There are 3 flashables i did put together based on this. DeODEX/ODEX versions and Stock. The first two just re-add the WifiRouter_JB43.apk and odexed file respectively depending on which you use, and also removes TetheringGuard.apk.
The Stock, simply places the origional xml file back and puts the TetheringGuard.apk back as well. That one will work for odex and deodex.
THESE ARE ONLY FOR STOCK ROMS. I CANNOT CONFIRM THESE WILL WORK ON CUSTOM ROMS.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CORRECT VERSION, OR YOU WILL GET FORCE CLOSE ON THE DIALER! THE FILES IN THIS OP ARE FOR 4.3 ( 2.10.605.1 ) ONLY RIGHT BELOW THIS THERE IS A LINK TO 4.4.2

Works great, thx! While its a bummer that the widget doesn't work properly at least the EQS tile toggles it on and off with no problem. Thx again!

Just to confirm.
you are using the Verizon Hotspot software that comes on the stock rom?

Awesome, thanks! Works perfectly. I actually didn't flash the zip, instead made the changes manually. The WifiRouter_JB43.apk was already on my phone, verified to be identical. So just had to rename ThetheringGuard.apk (and odex) and manually made the XML edits. As you mentioned, the Hotspot widget doesn't work, but it's easy enough to turn it on from quick settings.
Many thanks.

You don't HAVE to rename tether guard, I tested it with and without.
IF only the widget works, that would be great, but not too much inconvenience with quick settings, i am satisfied.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking about flashing stock rooted but didn't want to give up native hotspot.

No charge on bill
I just got my bill today as the 19th was the last day of my billing cycle, and i used the hotspot mod that day.
I DO NOT HAVE CHARGES on my bill for this just so everyone knows or is worried it might generate a charge.

Great work! I love all the little scripts you're putting out to remove all the annoyances on the VZW HTC One. I was looking for a way to enable tethering so I could pair my Nexus 7 with my HTC One if I ever had the need and came across this thread. I was about to go and flash the zip file but I thought I'd take a quick look at my current setup first. Since I am running @santod040's debloated stock rom I was already rid of the Tethering Guard, but I still had the WifiRouter_JB43.apk so I just pulled the default.xml and made the changes, then pushed it back and fixed the permissions. I decided to do it manually once I realized that the default.xml had a bunch of new settings that had been appended to it since I flashed the rom. Now the stock tethering is working beautifully. I don't know if this will help anyone or not, but here is a diff of the stock XML and the one included in this zip to make it clear which lines need to be changed.

I cant speak for 4.2, however you can always make the changes to the correct XML file as shown a few posts up, and make sure you have the wifi router app installed, and it could work

It's not working on mine for some reason, stock 4.3 Sprint Rom, rooted with philz recovery, build MK3, tried ODEX and DEODEX, same result, when I turn on the sprint hotspot it says I'm not subscribed. Maybe I missed something?

The update script is by andybones, and i modified it, and the xml.
There are 3 flashables i did put together based on this. DeODEX/ODEX versions and Stock. The first two just re-add the WifiRouter_JB43.apk and odexed file respectively depending on which you use, and also removes TetheringGuard.apk.
The Stock, simply places the origional xml file back and puts the TetheringGuard.apk back as well. That one will work for odex and deodex.
THESE ARE ONLY FOR STOCK ROMS. I CANNOT CONFIRM THESE WILL WORK ON CUSTOM ROMS.
Also, I cannot get the hotspot widget to work correctly. IT WILL turn it off, but not on.
Enjoy

It's not working on mine for some reason, stock 4.3 Sprint Rom, rooted with philz recovery, build MK3, tried ODEX and DEODEX, same result, when I turn on the sprint hotspot it says I'm not subscribed. Maybe I missed something?

This is the Verizon forums for Verizon HTC one . Please go to your sprint forums in xda
if I have helped you please press the thanks button.

This worked fine for me. As a note, the toggle on the pulldown menu works fine for me (turns on, turns off). I'm not using the widget, but the pulldown is where I prefer it anyway.

Quick question
do I load the zips using CMR Zip installer?
Thanks

I tried updating this mod on the stock 4.4.2 but couldn't get it to work. Hotspot would start up and computer would connect to hotspot but there was no connectivity to internet.
Anyway to get native hotspot working on 4.4.2?
Thanks

T-Mobile Alliance ROM manual port to Verizon Note 4 (moved to Android development)

** Got Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition to work with Alliance T-Mobile ROM!! Data, calling, sms, mms work ! I smell a daily driver! **
ATTENTION: Please be careful make a nandroid of your current Verizon ROM. I am not responsible if you break your phone or lose data on your device!
**This is using the BETA version of Alliance ROM for T-Mobile Note 4. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-0-1-allianceromn910t-18-themes-huge-t3085560 to get an idea of the features of this ROM. Give lacoursiere18 and hsbadr a thanks and donate to them for making this great ROM and kernel.
Follow these steps one after the other and don't stop**
1. Make sure you are on a stock OAF Lollipop ROM using Multisystem #1 kernel, I think I used Rick's OAF Lollipop ROM. I am on BOG modem so I'm pretty sure any Lollipop modem will work with this.
2. Make copies on your SD card of:
- system/buildprop.xml & cscversion.txt
- system system/etc/apns-config.xml
- system/etc/permissions/verizon_net_sip_library.xml & vzwapnlib.xml
- system/lib/libril.so & libsec-ril.so
- system/apps/VzwActivationAgent & vzwapnpermission folders
- system/framework/VZWAPNLib.apk
- system/privapp/VZWAPNService & secmms_candy folders
- system/csc folder
Reboot
4. Reboot into recovery and make a TWRP backup of everything
5. While in recovery dirty flash Alliance ROM BETA on top of stock lollipop ROM OAF that is using Multisystem #1 kernel (Wipe everything except data, and SD of course.)
6. Delete system/privapp/diagmonagent.apk and system/lib/libdiagmonagent.so because at startup it was sending some kind of diagnostics and thought it was messing with the data drop. Ever since these changes and a reboot data has been stable!
Reboot
7. Download root browser and swap those copied files in the appropriate file location. Change them to the correct permissions (the folders get 0755 and the files 0644, compare with other files and folders that are in place already. Make sure you change the permissions on all folders copied over and their contents). **Longest Step**
Reboot
8. Edit feature.xml in the system/csc folder and add:
<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true
</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
Above these tags on the bottom :
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
This enables auto download mms when data is toggled off !
Reboot
9. Make an backup in TWRP and you have your own custom ROM
I'm pretty sure this ROM is not compatible with xposed but it is very customizable, smooth, and it comes with a lot of features built in.
**READ ME**
Bugs:
- Silent mode is only available using the toggle. Volume down only goes to vibrate.
**
- Battery section in settings is missing
- No way to remove battery percentage in status bar
(Workaround: Download "Battery Usage Shortcut" from the Playstore to access the battery section and to remove battery percentage)
**
- No way to uninstall 3mint battery mod without messing the systemui up
- Now that the mobile network settings are correct the advanced calling option is avaliable but it force closes and messes up your data connection. A reflash of everything will be needed so don't click on it! (I have a feeling a Verizon app is missing but not going crazy about this)
Any suggestions or thoughts about these current bugs would be helpful.
I cannot guarantee all Alliance settings will work but most of them do, it's awesome.
This manual port is now stable ! All basic phone functions work. Let me know if you come across any bugs or issues not related to Alliance settings. I will try to help fix it.
Thanks Stedrocklp for taking the time to try and get this working. Jal3223 thanks for sharing that key porting info!!! Wouldn't be possible without your help! Thanks hsbadr for developing Multisystem kernel ! Thanks lacoursiere18 for creating this ROM !

I did the same thing with similar results. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge needed to get it functioning on the VZW N4. I still faithfully run alliance on my N3 and am dying to have it on my N4. Maybe we should try to get one of our great devs to hook us up.

I hear you man I came from the Note 2 with Alliance. That would be nice hopefully one sees this thread. So I should be a little more descriptive with the process of getting it stable with just mms and sms failing. I am sure coming from any LP ROM without xposed preloaded will work. I dirty flashed from Ricks ROM and get a Play Services error and it keeps popping up. I went into the app info of Google settings app, clicked manage storage, and wiped all data and then cache. After that it seems stable. I also edited the build.prop using build prop editor and changed all the tmo entries with vzw, saved, and rebooted and got the Verizon data icon signals. The mms and sms issue I believe has something to do with APNS but idk how that works. There is no way to edit the APNs in the mobile network settings by the way. I'm dying to get this to work too lol

I actually went in and put in the Verizon apns in the apns-conf.xml and I still couldn't get sms to work. What's funny is that I did get MMS to work so when I sent a message to anyone, I would send a pic too. My friends and family were like why do you keep sending nonsense photos LOL. Would it be something with the kernel/boot.img you think?

What values do you replace in the apns-conf.xml ? Yeah it's probably the boot.img how do we replace that? I tried doing this in the past but couldn't find our boot.img in a ROM. And every time I zipped the ROM back it never flashes always an error. I think it needs to be signed but idk how to do that. We're almost there !

I am going to try to swap the APN's and the boot IMG from a working Verizon rom and see what happens. I got so close to having it work I just couldn't get sms to work no matter what edits or adjustments I made. Having the MMS work meant that there was hope there must just be something I am missing. Let me do some tinkering and see if I can come up with something functional. If there is a will there is a way. Right?

What you taking about you don't know how to do this stuff lol. Yeah man there has got to be a way. We basically ported it lmao. Let me know what happens !

Maybe we should replace these files too? And what do you think this sentence means? That could be the problem, maybe? Lol

So far I have swapped the APNs and have copied the verizon specific apps that you mentioned. I am currently at the alliance boot animation but ? takes so long to load on the first boot I can't tell if it's stuck or I am impatient.

That's the worst wait ever lol

Well I have two failed attempts using the inernational version. Now I am going to try on the T-Mobile version with the same edits. I am going to get this going one way or the other.

I have my fingers crossed ! Did you do anything with the boot.img?

Yes I am using the boot.img from morom and it does get to the boot animation so we should be headed in the right direction.

Well I am getting closer to success. I got it to boot all the way though and go through the setup process. One problem; No Service! For some reason I am getting no service at all so I will have to recheck that all the Verizon BS is in place and working. Geesh Verizon sure does make this more difficult than it needs to be. Moving in the right direction though!

That's great that you got it to boot. Even though this may seem tedious, maybe try doing one verizon specific app by one? And maybe try replacing the T-Mobile mms-candy with the verizon one. I forgot lacoursiere18 recommended that when I was trying to make it work in the past. I tried doing it while I had Alliance installed and it messed up the app. The emoji kinda like this one was in place of the send button. It was actually pretty funny that that happens but idk maybe having it pre-installed will have better results? He also said something about the libs but I guess we should try one change at a time lol

I read the permissions of this application and it seems to deal with sending and receiving text messages and mms. Maybe this is the piece that was missing after editing the apns?

The T-mobile variant has two. Bin files the I removed thinking the we wanted to use the verizon modem but maybe they need to be there so I just added them back. I added the activation agent and all other verizon apps and libs. I couldn't find a lib file for mms_candy but I did swap them. Did you edit anything when you flashed or did you just flash as-is?

So far I only flashed as is. What values did you change on the apn config to get mms working? I completely swapped it with the Verizon one but that didn't work.

Got mms to work using GoSms and manually configuring the APN the msmc whatever to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
And the mms port to 80.
Now if we can only get sms to send we have a fully functioning alliance ROM on Verizon !
