Maybe you're looking for /system/etc/apns-conf.xml?

Thx sir but I had that I was looking to alter the mms apn

The method I've heard of is
creating a nand backup of the ROM
flash to stock make your mms changes
restore the nand backup

Does that work? The APNs aren't wiped or reloaded with the rom restore?

What else do you want to know?
That's really all there is to it, via EPST or APN Backup and Restore.

It's never worked for me for a Native MMS fix on Boost Mobile on an AOSP ROM from a Sense Rom.
(Restoring a Sense Nand on an AOSP Rom.)
I always had to settle for 3rd Party Messaging Clients.
But, many others have sworn by it.
Supposedly, the APN settings are left alone.
Your mileage may vary.
I modded my phone apk to get voice mail,no 3rd party needed.
And as far as mms just change the carrier from Sprint to boostmobile, in your advanced settings using epst ##3282#
Advanced
In there.

This thread is about the possibility of persistent APN settings not Boost Mobile fixes.
The context of my comment was for AOSP ROMs in which case EPST isn't available.
3rd party messaging apps that allow you to set your own APNs like Handcent or GoSMS for example is what I'm talking about and on non-Sense based ROMs is really the only reliable option.

Folks,
is there a way to save the APN details ? Everytime I flash a ROM I need to go back into APN settings and re-enter them. eg. perhaps a tool which I can restore from Titanium Backup which populates the APN settings.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

..thanks, but which app or system file do you restore from titanium backup ? I've had a dig around and there seems to be a file called apn.conf or something like that, but not sure what to restore to get that back.

Idk if it works if your restoring SMS/MMS data from a CM10 ROM to a TW ROM and vice versa but it definitely works if your nandroid is a TW based ROM and your current ROM is also TW based

Just use SMS backup and restore to backup before switching roms. That's what I used when switching to the S3 and when flashing roms on the E4GT.

+1 on the SMS Backup/Restore, there are a few on the market...
What I do is use titanium back up to back up the data and later restore the data only, not sure if this works from TW to AOSP though...have not tried it, yet.

With Titanium, when you restore the data, does that include contacts and apps as well?

Yea but if you add contacts via your Google account you may get doubles.
Titanium Backup also has a great backup/restore option for SMS and MMS, works regardless of the ROM you are on and the ROM you are restoring to

I have just successfully extracted sms and mms from nandroid (CWM) backup.
Backed up system was CM7 and restored to CM10 on Milestone2.
I used Titanium Backup (need the pro version for 'extract from nandroid') and restored 'Phone/Messaging Storage'.

Yes where would the best place be to find it ?
All, If like me you are referring to "dialer codes" such as *2 for customer service - you have to have the sprint app installed. Gone are the days when *2 would just autodial customer service, it now opens that app. This app is debloated as a standard with many ROMS so if you want it back you need to install the sprint zone app.

you would have to download the stock rom in update zip format.
Here is mine, but I have edited quite a few things. all the dialer codes work though.

According to your post, without the Sprint Zone app, the dialer codes are not working. I froze it with Titanium back up. I defrosted it but the dial still does not work ##3282#. Nothing change.

Hi,
Currently on Task650's latest AOKP, Is there any way I can backup and restore my AOKP system and ROM settings?
Also, a somewhat unrelated question. I know Google Play keep track of every app you've downloaded and from there one can easily reinstall everything lost post clean flash. I also know there is an option where apps are immediately reinstalled upon logging into Google account, post clean flash. I was wondering if I could customize that list before everything begins to automatically reinstall? It is because I don't use every app I've downloaded before. I've downloaded hundreds of apps, but only really use like 20.
Thanks!
Use the search feature it comes in handy...
You can back up your rom and rom settings with your recovery and the only way to select which apps you want is to uncheck there "restore all apps" when booting up your device and manually downloading them.

I love how people just automatically assume you don't search. I did search. Didn't find what I was looking for, so I'm here. Plus I had more than just the one question.
I've explored my recovery (TW) and the only backup I can see is a partition backup, where the system partition alone, for me anyways, is more than twice the size of the ROM. What I was asking was just settings and settings only. Maybe there is an option for CWM that isn't available in TW?

Restoring system settings is not advised as it can cause issues. This is one of the prices you pay for installing custom roms.

Has anyone gotten any of the Cloudyfa (CloudyFlex/Pro2/Stock) roms to work for our device? It boots fine (CloudyPro II) but I can't send texts or get data. If you have, can you tell me how you did it or point me in the direction of a thread/post that has instructions?
Thanks guys!

Hey so I actually got it working, LTE, SMS/MMS, and all (CloudyPro II, that is). It was working perfectly but after restoring it (I went back to the ZVC rom for a sec to backup my text messages), I ended up constantly getting the systemui FC over and over, even after another clean flash, so I had to restore back to my ZVC backup. I'll try again tonight though. Also, the camcorder does not work for the LS980, I tried with stock app, google cam, and snapchat, but that's a known issue over in the CloudyPro II thread.
Here's what I did:
1. backup APN with APN Backup and Restore from play store (*Move to "system/priv-app" folder for it to work in kitkat*)
2. backup with Titanium Backup and do a nandroid
3. wipe system, data, dalvik and cache
4. flash CloudyPro II and select LS980 in aroma (i also kept all the bloat, i think)
5. reboot
6. install and restore APN with APN Backup and Restore (have to move to "system/priv-app"again)
7. reboot (and fix permissions if you feel like it)
8. go into mobile networks and you should have the standard options (Global, LTE/CDMA, CDMA, etc.)
9. enjoy?
Also, the usim error for text messages seems to only happen in the stock messaging app, because when I switched to hangouts for sms, they sent without a hitch.
I hope this helps!
Thanks to those who suggested APN Backup and Restore!

What I find works is to start on rooted stock, download APN Backup and Restore, backup APNs, flash the rom you want to use, then install APN Backup and Restore and /system/app Mover from the play store using Wifi, use /system/app Mover to make APN Backup and Restore a system app, reboot, open APN Backup and Restore, hit menu and select "Disable ICS Check" then restore the APNs you backed up from stock.
Reboot, and enjoy working data, MMS and SMS.
Did that actually work on those 2 types?

Cloudy Roms are stock based custom ROM's. We can flash if you have recovery other Roms that are KitKat base that will work on ls980.
There aren't many. And yet I remember someone showing a way how to manipulate a different ROM to possibly work.
Right now they work voice just not data. And no, APN is not the main problem.

i got tried it out today. it works i used auto-rec to put it on my phone. just like the op says u have to have a apn back up and system/app mover to make the apn back up app, a system app if that makes sense. back up your apns, your phone through twrp(thats what i used) and the flash the rom. then download apn back up again with system app mover, make apn back up app, a system app and restore your APN's.
tried using the APN Backup and Restore and keep getting an error message that says Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN settings??
nevermind.... read how to make it a system app and disable ICS check

Hey peeps, I updated the OP (is that what people usually do in these situations? idk) with what I did to get CloudyPro II working. Hopefully the camcorder and knock code will get fixed soon. Besides those things, the rom actually runs pretty well :yay:
