[Q] Help with voicemail and new ROM

For starters, HOLY HELL does this forum have the mother of all 'search ya n00b' features built in! Dang impressive!!
Second, being a long time stalker, and due to those previously mentioned features, I do not have the rights to post in the thread for this ROM. Thus I am posting my question here. I just recently installed the Incredibly Re-Engineered ROM v2.20 on my Inc. Out of all of the hacking that I have done to this poor phone, this ROM has given it the biggest improvement. However, I can't figure out how to access voicemails on it. The dev said that he fixed something with voicemails in this release but my not-so-smart-phone doesn't seem to know that.
I know that the Inc uses a native app instead of VZ's visual app and I am guessing that it's the one named Visual VM 1.13 that Titanium is telling me I am missing (but doesn't give me an option to restore). Anyone know the secret to getting this to work?

I'm not quite sure what you mean... Are you looking for a Visual Voicemail app, or are you unable to get to your voicemail at all? Have you tried dialing *86

Yeah, I could just call to get my messages but that would be too easy.
The issue is that the native app that downloads voicemails and plays them appears to be awol. When I get a voicemail VZ sends me a text stating "You have 1 unheard Visual Voice Mail messages. Please select the Visual VM icon to reinstall." However, you can't just download VZ's app because it will tell you that your phone already has an app built in for handling voicemails... except for my phone which now appears to be missing it.
Oh and before anyone asks, yes I did wipe the phone before installing the new ROM with ROM Manager.

Have you tried changing the voicemail settings to what you want to use to handle your voicemails? Menu > Settings > Call Settings
If you already have then maybe try pushing the apk through adb?

There is a flashover to 2.2 that is supposed to fix the VM indicator.
Absent that, there is also a flashable zip posted in the ROM and IncReEng. mods thread.

I did not even know about that setting. I have now set it to 'My Carrier' since I am not using Google Voice but unfortunately that didn't fix it.

I did perform that flashover. Maybe I will wait until the updated ROM is posted tonight and see if that fixes it... otherwise I might have to go hunting for the zips you are referencing.

You can click on the little paperclip next to the rom thread title and see all the .zip attachments that have been posted in the thread. This way you don't have to go searching through the whole thread to find the files you are looking for.

I just wanted to update this in case anyone else is searching for an answer to this problem.
So I did an update to v2.3 of the Re-Engineered ROM and that didn't get my voicemail back. And I actually lost some more functionality. I'm not in any way diss'n this ROM though. The issue is just that it is a seriously customized piece of art and maybe a bit overkill for a phone that needs to occasionally be a phone!
Since I tried Skyraider in the past and had some syncing issues, I decided to load up Redemptive rEVOlution this time. So far everything is running smooth and it appears that my voicemail and everything else is working as it should.
BTW, I should mention that I work in the Quality field because I have a natural gift for breaking things. So my issues may not be typical for all users.

I believe the problem you are having with VVM is because re-ingeneered is 100% evo framework. Sprint does not use VVM and therefore not coded for it.
That being said, google voice offers the same features without the added fees from Verizon.

Editing system apps

Hey guys.
Am trying to edit the stock Messages apk on my Desire Z so that pressing Enter on the hard keyboard actually sends the message rather than inserting a new line.
I've already found the "key number" for Enter (56) which was the easy part but don't know what to do next.
Am running Virtuous Unity 2.39 atm.
Ideas anyone?

I don't know what ROM you're running, but I know on CM7, in the SMS options, there is a selection for "Send on Enter" that does exactly this.

I found the easiest way was to replace the stock htc mms with vanilla mms apk, or use some third party one.
Although, if you can mod the htc one to support send on enter, I would very much like to use it

I can't replace the stock app with a vanilla app (CM7.0.3) as the Sense UI would throw a hissy fit and also texts appear in completely the wrong order so instead of "1-2-3-4-5" it would show up as "1-2-5-3-4", now IMAGINE that with the figures below and having to scroll back just to read the most recent one you received with your own ones in between. Ghostly Gingerbread SMS puts them in almost the correct order for me but I need to delete the texts I've already received.
Least busy day: 30~50
Average day: 120~140
Textravaganza (Busy day): 220~300
The keyboard and touchscreen take quite a beating so "Send on Enter" is essential for those "busy days". As for third-party apps, I prefer not to use one unless absolutely necessary.

I used to run vanilla mms on sense roms with no issue at all.
Here's a guide on how to do it.
Although I just built a flashable zip to replace it after flashing a sense rom. I can attach it here if you want to have a look at it, does some extra stuff too.

Looks promising, will have a look later.

Well, it works but when someone sends me a text message and it creates a new thread the app crashes. About 5 months ago I asked why it crashes when a new thread is created and was basically told "its a framework thing".
Use of CM7.x.xs messaging app is out-of-bounds.

[R&D]Wifi calling and Sending MMS

Disclaimer--- this is simply a thread to discuss and rant about issues with wifi calling related to MMS sending and retrieval as well as blurry mms. This is also to keep it in one place rather than on other posts where it becomes unrelated to the original topic. I have tested sending MMS through stock, hand cent, and go SMS and am unable to send pictures. This said I am using kl1 deodexed rom by whitehawx. This is just the beginning of my research and observation. Another user (docmjldds) mentioned that it was working on zombie rom but only using hand cent. Please post what roms you have tested and whether or not sending over wifi calling works for you. Also post what SMS app you are using and what file size it was also. Screenshots help but keep them G rated. Also post whether the pics where blurry. If it helps post what types of mms mods you have flashed. I will clean this up more when I get to a computer and update the list... please feel free to rant and rave. Just don't take it personal.
You can help research by posting the following:
1.) Rom you are using and version
2.) Kernel you are using
3.) Any mods, scripts, etc.
4.) Using wificalling only, NOT 4g, attempt to send MMS to yourself or other person using either
1.) Stock Rom
2.) Other sms app (please state which one works)
3.) State whether or not it DID or DID NOT compress the image when sending and if it failed, or when receiving if it ends up blurry.
My rom:
Deodexed KL1 by Whitehawx. Using Fauxkernel 07b5 default with no scripts or mods added.
[stock mms app] = unable to send large pictures but can send decent size. Takes more than 10 minutes for me to send. Compresses the images right away.
[Go Sms and Handcent] able to send regular sized pictures but not large ones >1mb. Still took 10 minutes to send. Compression occurred.
Did not notice any blurriness from the pictures that I did receive.
Updated List for ROMS able to send MMS/Large sized MMS, etc
--ZombieRom 3.0 Thank you Docmjldds for the heads up on this info.
Updated List for tweaks, mods, tricks to get MMS to send.
--Will update as people post.
Thanks for your contribution. I will post better screenshots of pictures sent and received.

I can send through Go SMS ...
I am running a mishmash of ROM's I threw together myself, I know not much help
It is 2.3.6 with KL1 ...
Using the alternate APN but transferred all the MMS settings to the new APN ...
I can send while on Wi-Fi with wifi calling enabled, BUT, it does seem to take a very long time ...

yes it helps. I noticed I sent one large pic about 200 KB and the other was less. After ten mins I got a link to download the smaller of the two. The bigger failed. No blurriness though. I got notifications from all the SMS apps with the smaller pic.

Not going to repeat the same old same old. I will simply watch and learn what others state. Until I see otherwise, I only ask users to try every ROM 2.3.6 based and tell me if they can specifically send and receive with the following parameters
1. Use WiFi calling enabled. I am NOT interested in 4G. That's NOT the issue here.
2. Be able to enable 1.0Mb file sizes to send with MMS and NOT have files shrink to 16-26Kb file sizes.
3. Not have to R+R any mms.apk files from one source to get around blurry mms issues.
Now, based on these parameters, I am simply going to make the following statement regarding what works for me and specifics. For those that have already heard me say this, hold your ears please since many users here may not have had the misery of reading my prior posts.
I have found that consistently only one ROM here for our model works. I have no idea on why. I am only stating to try the following.
The Zombie based ROM, currently 3.0 version here. Install per OP directions. Then install Handcent SMS third party app. It's the only app that works consistently for me where I can send large sized MMS files (350-950Kb sized) using WiFi calling enabled. It should only take a few seconds to send. And yes, these are the sizes received. I am using 2-3Mb pictures I take with our phone, using the 1.0Mb MMS settings for sending in the Handcent preference setup for MMS. You can use the stock message app to read the same file, AFTER it is first received with Handcent, BTW. Oh, like GoSMS Pro, you don't have that arrow showing in the mms file as if it's a video file you are seeing, BTW. I have seen this asked by others. But Handcent does not give that message "Unable to send. Wait till Network is available message". GoSMS Pro does give that message for me.
I have posted enough screen shots on various development threads so I won't clutter up the post here. If users ask, I will post to prove that with the ROM mentioned and Handcent, it works, but I cannot get this to work with any other ROM. Again, NOT 4G and not 16-26KB file sizes that I am interested specifically in.

1) didn't use 4g
2.) File over 1mb did not com press with hand cent nor go SMS but did with stock. I couldn't test what file size it was received as because large file never was sent.
3.) Did zombierom dev state what specific tweaks mods or scripts he used that other 2.3.6 roms. Don't have in them?
4.) I will have more time tomorrow so I can flash zombie and see if I can duplicate the same as you.
Thanks

Before 3.0 just posted it basically has been a plain Jane ROM much the same as the Original MrX first 2.3.6 or Whitehawk 2.3.6 ROM. No themeing to speak of. In fact, it doesn't even have the 13-14 toggle above the notification area. I would have to look at the original change-logs to see specifically what exact tweaks etc may have been incorporated. AFAIK, nothing at all different from the others. I can only add that I routinely change to the Faux kernels since I want BLN support, and the kernel he uses for stock doesn't offer it. But Kernels never played any role in what made this work or not work. Just an fyi.

Do you think kernel has anything to do with it? I would be very surprised to find out. Plus, I want to know why my wife's Mytouch 4g is able to send any type of picture, text quickly with good results?? whats different about HTC's wifi calling than ours? I know hers is activated by an actual app like other legacy wifi calling phones still do. I wonder if the way it is now implemented messes with sending MMS.

My wife also has a MyTouch4G and I believe it really has something to do with the newer implementation used by our style WiFi calling. I know that TMobile has already acknowledged to me it's an issue they are looking at. I really have a feeling they know they are intentionally overcompressing on the newer models like our SGS2. The Sensation I used to use also was on the older standard and worked just fine, as long as the model and brand name was correct in the build.prop files. Kernel is NOT an issue. I have basically tested every Kernel there is with all the ROMs. Zombie consistently works with any of them. Anecdotal here, the Revolution ROM that I believe is retired because of some XDA issues with the Developer, also did work, like the Zombie ROM too, but I am going on another close friend here that remembers it worked for him.
When I get the time, I have several programs that can do a file by file comparison. Takes a lot of time, but that's the only way I know of to see what is different from the base that Zombie is using vs the others. My feeling is it's a source files used issue. Just a guess.
EDIT:
PS... I have all the older files for the legacy method here along with the necessary build.prop edits that are required to make that older HTC method work. Not sure it will even be worth it, but I am going to try adding that stuff, lib files and APK and edits to see if it's even possible to use the older wifi calling.
It may also mean also going back to Android 2.3.5 base. I'm pretty ADD about this subject. I just need to find the time

Sounds like that too. I hope they fix it. It looks like you have more time than I do for testing. Ill be getting my new white one tomorrow so that means rerooting and installing everything again.
Edit-.saw your edit. That would be great if you could get that working.

Just to show how lame TMobile support is, out on their tech Forums they are basically telling users NOT to even have wifi calling enabled. Below is a stock answer I see this mod. posting to everyone with issues complaining about this subject.
Being a retired bum, I do have some time on my hands. I can think of better ways to spend it, but this is one nut I really would like to crack. But at least there's a method on a particular ROM that does work. So deoending on importance of this feature will dictate what any user wants in a given ROM. BTW, don't know why the Zombie developer is placing his beta stuff outside of XDA, but there are references to links. Latest 3.1.1 includes update for the multiple toggles above notification area. Just an FYI...NOT...again NOT trying to be a Troll, but I can see how I can be accused, by now
IF...other ROMs would work, I would have no reason to state what to use...really...

Hi!
Let me first thank you for being part of our community! We are happy to have you here and love to see you as an active participant. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee any of your services will work over the wi-fi network. Not being able to both send and receive MMS over wi-fi is an issue that can be slightly common.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this message or contact any member of the staff. Thank you and have a great day!

1.) Juggernaut 4.1
2.) Faux .007
3.) ICS Mod
4.) No matter what the file size no MMS will come through while I am connnected to wifi calling. If I disconnect and switch to 4G it will go through provided it has synced with Google.
1.) Stock SMS App doesn't work. Neither does GOSMS which is my go to texting app.
2.) See above.
3.) Fails completetly on download or upload.
Hope this helps!

Haven't tried zombie but the only rom I have tried that lets me send and receive mms while using wifi is when I'm on complete stock with root of course but its not really too much of a hassle to just switch wifi off if needed while using jugs 4.1 if it ever does get too annoying I always keep a backup of my stock just in case... So I know it has to be something that's been removed from the custom roms that keeps the phone from auto switching to data from wifi when using mms

IT basically verifies what my claims have been. Something about the Zombie Rom is different to allow MMS to work correctly as long as Handcent is being used. I used Tmoble_SGH-T989UVKL1_Stock_Rooted.zip as a base 2.3.6 to compare with the latest Zombie ROM although versions of this ROM have always worked. Using a program that actually does a great job of side by side taking files withing a given folder to compare with another source of given files. All of the folders basically used the same exact files. The few times lets say that one ROM used a slightly different version lets say of wificalling.apk as an example could not break either the working Zombie functionality, nor could using the Zombie based file in the stock ROM would NOT make that ROM work either. IOW I tried to switch files between these two ROMs, to either create a working stock ROM, or break the function of the ZOMBIE Rom. Could not succeed in making or breaking opposing ROMs.

If it as you say it's probably the system framework differs somewhere. Causing mms not to send.

Coming from my nexus one, we needed specidifc kernels built to support wifi calling. Maybe this new wifi calling is implemented different

I am pretty much confident that you are correct it's a framework issue. I have used file comparison programs and rulled out every other source file, such as all of the lib files etc. And it has nothing to do with kernels. I have tested every kernel on all these ROMs and the same results occur, irregardless of kernel.

Nexus one was my first Android too. Bought it the first day of availability to the public, direct from Google back in Jan. 2010. The current Wifi calling is totally a different animal WRT our SGS2 phones. It's more or less based on the Network, itself, the proper Sim Card etc. Unlike the older WiFi calling that uses the Gans lib files and Build.prop edits, this doesn't rely on any of that stuff. And it's also a required Android 2.3.6 min. source. So yes...a totally different implementation.

I know this is an 'older' post but it helped me so here you go:
BeastMOD 5.0 (build Test13)
Sinergy kernel
no mods
The only way I can send mms over wifi is running Handcent. GO and stock wouldn't work. What ever zombie was doing made it's way into Melvins Rom

This issue is fixed in the ics leaks. Rom reconnects.to 4g momentarily to send or receive mms

[Q] MMS via WiFi

I'm looking for general information concerning MMS messaging and our device's ability to utilize a WiFi internet connection rather than it's mobile data connection to send those messages.
I've been rooted and using modified operating systems for quite some time and haven't run anything stock for a while. That said: Does the stock messaging application in the bone stock, non-rooted, TW MD4 build have the ability to use WiFi when sending an MMS message? I've been running various modified and rooted ROMs based on MD4 and the messaging applications I've been using in those ROMs do have that ability. So my question at the basic level is: Does my phone's ability to send MMS via WiFi come from a modification that is inherited from the ROMs I've been running? Or is that ability inherited from Sprint's drop of the OS and the messaging app included in it?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

That's on the carrier side. They have to support it for it to be a function of the app

Thanks for the input.
My question was wordy ... sorry about that. My question has to do with the apps themselves, not our carrier (Sprint).
Does the stock messaging app in the bare bones stock ROM from Sprint for our GS3 (MD4 stock) include support for MMS over WiFi?
In orther words: Does the stock TW MD4 ROM perform MMS over WiFi in the stock messaging app without modification?

I don't think so. but there are free apps in the market that can use just wifi. Haywire is one that i've used but the downside to them all (as far as i know) is none use your number to send and receive text/mms, in other words you have to give your contacts a new number to text or mms you with a new number that is given by the app itself.

Thanks very much for the info.
For the record, I'm not looking for a solution. I'm looking for a definitive answer as to whether the stock app and ROM (unrooted and unmodified MD4) will do MMS over WiFi w/o modification.
Anyone with a definitive answer?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it does on the stock app
It complains that it won't send until you connect to mobile network, but it sends anyway

It does the same thing on the modified setups I've been running. Seemed odd. But good to know it does this on the bone stock no rooted setups as well.
Much appreciated.

[Q] Custom Rom PRL update Questions

I used to remember dedicated PRL threads in older forums.
PRL's are not as... Important anymore though it seems. (used to be easier to update too by hand... anyways.)
I'm seeing that there are new PRL's available for my note 2, and i'm getting some odd service issues (and lack of 4g working, but its connecting to it)
And without the ability to use pound codes on custom roms, it can be a bit of a pain.
What is the current PRL that people are using here?
Does anyone have a good trusted download source for it?
(http://prl.digiblur.com/) This is what I found, but it's been so long since I've manually updated PRL's that I dont remember if this was the site to use or not.
http://androidforums.com/transform-ultra-all-things-root/632275-diy-how-change-your-prl.html
Are the instructions given here good to use?
The ones I'm finding here at XDA are saying note 3 and s4/5 and such.
I dont want to deal with a brick, so I'd rather ask the question. Lots of old threads on PRL stuff, but no dedicated PRL thread (that i can find) makes it a bit tough to get up to speed.

If you want to update prl manually you will need to run a custom touchwiz rom. You open your dialer and do ##data# then choose view. There will be a prl write option. For this to work you need to copy the prl to the root of your internal sdcard and rename it to test.prl.
I am not on sprint network so I cant really help you find prls. If you want more help just hit me up. I know most of the roms that have prl write enabled so I can point you towards some roms if you want.

Hmm. I thought you could flash in a PRL though odin even if your rom didn't support it.
I read so many posts of people flashing to TW stock and updating PRL and loosing connectivity or gps issues after switching back.
These new style roms are really sweet, but the loss of some features like PRL updates gets to be a bit wearing on you.
It's hard to find roms like slimbean as well. Being a minimalist, I am picky about my features. battery life is more important to me than fancy overlays or graphics. (though i miss a lot of S-Pen features)
