Epic Touch on Virgin Mobile -- AWESOME-- but.... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have an Epic Touch running ICS 4.0.4 on Virgin Mobile. Speeds, battery life and functionality are great. I am running Calkulins 1.6 rom. however, i have two issues. the first is mms. i looked at the patches and tried to apply to no avail. all the settings for ro.cdma.operator, etc are correct but no beans on the mms. i even decompiled the framework-res.apk without getting it sorted out. any ideas how to get it working. (i did get it to work on cm9 but overall performance was not as good.
the second thing is the voicemail notifier. it works on cm9 but not calkulins ics. thanks for any feedback.

I think the issue with MMS is that, you need to use a pure CM9/CM10 ROM for it to work.

The MMS issue can probably be fixed with a simple APN edit in the ##data# menu? I'm not sure, just saying.

I had previously tried that with other ROMs but that will not work. VM has some special way of encoding their MMS so a special fix was needed which works with CM9 based ROMs.

The APN edit is correct but still does not work. I am thinking that there is something in the framework-res.apk that needs to be changed. anyone have any ideas.
I would consider moving over to CM9 however, i use bluetooth audio with my phone in the car and CM9 does not allow for avrcp control in 3rd party apps where calkulins does. the 3rd party control is important to me because i dont want to be screwing around on the phone to change tracks, etc.

The missing piece is in the apk itself (I'm flashed to Cricket). If you check any other threads with alt-carrier mms fixes for our phone (I use og Epic4G fixes successfully), you'll see the mms.apk gets changed. On ICS TW ROMs though, mms gets fixed but incoming sms breaks... installing a 3rd party messaging app (I've used hand cent without issues) fixes that.
So in all, you'll probably wanna change apn's, fix your build.prop, push a modified mms apk, and install a 3rd party SMS app to get everything working.
Wish I could help more but I'm still learning

Have you tried using the the MMS Fix I posted in my last reply, that has been the fix that has gotten MMS to work. For me anyway on CM9.
If you want to have at it with getting MMS to work on the ROM you are using this might be a good place to start. Original Epic 4G to VM
MMS WORKS thanks to Brooksyx, be sure to throw him a thanks!
As of 4-23-2012, you're required to use CyanogenMod if you want MMS.

[Request] Froyo Rom with Cricket MMS settings

would love to see this and I am willing to help provide the settings where I can. I am no chef but have been working on this for forever, i've modified the telephony.db modified the APN and now I am trying to use MMS client from Incredible. Lots of people would be very happy with this and or a MMS solution for AOSP roms, Deodexed and Odexed. I love this site and give you all major props, I post LINKS to your roms and mods and always give credit dont believe me check me out at CDMA GURUS look at my posts.
the problem is that evo roms just wont let mms work it would have to be an incredible port thats why that certain ava rom works and the incredible mms.apk makes mms work..right now wats seems to be working for the most part is after replacing the mms.apk i use chompsms to send and recieve mms and it works for now but unless we dont get an incredible rom port then we wont have everything working out of the box
I'm working on this as we speak.
I'm trying to port the latest Incredible OTA to the EVO.
I have it running on my phone and MMS is working flawlessly right now, however wifi, bluetooth, and screen rotation are not working yet. It took me a while to get the SD card and hardware keys working again, but I figured that out.
I've reached out to some people for some help with the port (like avalanchmods who did the ava froyo v2rc3 port that works pretty well) but no one has responded yet. Hopefully I can get some pointers for getting all the hardware working properly.
Once I get that working I'll post up something for everyone else. I'm running it right now without wifi and bluetooth (hardly use them anyway) and loving it, just wish the screen would rotate when using the web browser haha
Thank s dude loved jiminy cricket v2 now ztahoez is on a beastly tangent with the avalaunch z-mod

[REQUEST]CYANOGEN MOD 6 OR 7 FOR boost mobile

in ##3282# (ON A SENSE ROM), have you already set (under Advanced) MMS Server URL to http://mm.myboostmobile.com ?
you will need your MSL to edit settings (free app in market for that).

[Q] mms fix for evo on cricket?

Does anyone have a mms fix for EVO on cricket...please point me in the right direction...don't mean to be a noob just need some assistance..thanks
Did you back up apn settings with apn backup app and then disk drive your phone and edit the backup apn.xml file and put your "[email protected]" then make sure you save it as is and disconnect drive from pc then open apn backup app and delete all apns and then click restore select the .xml you edited then save exit. Go grab the mms.zip and flash it through recovery menu. Better explained here.

I have never been able to get MMS working in AOSP on Cricket. I can do it in any Sense rom but the APN settings in AOSP never seem to stick or work correcty.
This is the one and only reason I'm still running a Sense rom. I want badly to run AOSP so I can link up a controller to my phone but I send and receive far too many pictures to give that capability up.

I hate sense. I'm all about the aosp. I emailed a supposed cricket flash master last month asking if he has a mms solution for aosp. He respond yes but when asked if he would mind sharing the replys stopped. After a month I emaild him again and got this "No, sorry. I am a developer that makes custom roms for cricket dealers (for sale only). I do not leak my own work. "
I call BS.

"unofficial" S3 AOKP Q/A thread..

It's obvious why I made this. Post all your questions here and hopefully they will get answered. Be patient!
I'll start the thread..
Q: When group messaging with GO SMS PRO (only app I know of that works with iPhone's for group chat) after a few minutes my group messages disappear and all I see are random single digit numbers instead of my contacts with the conversations separated in them. Only occurs for group messages, not individual messaging. Why is this? Something to do with data stability? I'd take an SS, but I cleared all of them earlier. When it happens again I'll take an SS.

Does anyone know why I don't have the Motion settings available? I was first advised to reflash, but I found that there was newer version of the ROM available, but even after upgrading to that the motion settings are still not there. Any fix?

1) Because AOKP isn't touchwhiz
2) Flash stock rom if you want that option.
noob question
hey all i have a question or 2.
1- what is the difference between Sammy (Kernel), and AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) ?
2- do you flash AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run train (rom) then Sammy (Kernel) ?
yeaaa i know stupid noob question but i guess we all have to start some where.
thanks for understanding.
Bluetooth to headunit
so I'm running latest aokp by task650 &ktoonsez for my sgs3 att, so the issue is when i use poweramp (latest version available on play store) it wont send track info to my head unit, i had someone suggest to go to misc - tweaks and enable both Bluetooth options but i tried that and still just says stop on the head unit. anybody have any ideas? it worked fine in stock rom.
Still having issues with aosp cam with task and ktoonsez aokp rom. The camera works with other camera apps like 360 camera and ucam but not the aosp cam. The exact symptom is that the app will always freeze within 10 seconds of the app opening no matter if i touch the phone or not. The zoom slider never appears and I'm unable to interact with the app like changing the settings or anything.
I have tried numerous flashes including every version release so far. I always do a factory reset in cwm, delete cache partition, dalvik cache, and format system. I've also used the cwm flashable camera fix that is posted in both at&t development forums. In a last ditch effort I went back to stock, performed a factory reset from there insuring that my phone was a complete clean slate and the aosp camera app still didn't work when installing fresh aokp with no apps or any settings changed at all in the rom.
I'm at a loss here as the default cam app works in cm9 and cm10 but I want my aokp damn it!

Alternative?

I was in love with CM9 RC2, it did everything I wanted. Couldn't ask for more........until...I realized it does not support MMS and I NEED TO SEND AND RECEIVE PICTURE MESSAGES! Onto my actual question though. What custom rom supports all features? I'm looking for a good stable rom that supports all the features my phone is capable of. Verizons 2.3.3 isn't bad but the interface is crap. That's why I "Liked" CM9 RC2. So yeah If anyone could list an all around, all feature working rom it would be much appreciated. Also feel free to list a kernel if you feel as if certain roms perform better with a specific one.
P.S. I don't want an overclocked CPU. I'm fine at the 1Ghz.

Does anyone have a specific rom in mind? One they can verify that all features work. (MMS, camera, speaker volume, data etc...)?
All of the CM9 roms and the CM9 based roms support MMS , you need to manually put in the APN settings using the Voice Dialer. Every CDMA rom has data, camera, text and mms (with apns), and speaker phone.
This link will show you the correct APN settings for Verizon to send/receive MMS

Are you positive this works? Because I had everything else working on this rom EXCEPT for picture messaging (MMS) and if I switch back I need to know for sure it will support it.

I would go back and check your settings, verify you typed everything in correctly, make sure to hit menu and save the apn settings and after saving be sure to select/tick the circle on the apn to enable it . If its not working then you made a mistake somewhere.

It's working now, I went to another website and did things similar to what you said, but when I hit "save" the Verizon name was no longer there. I was about to give up then all my pic messages went thru! It's now fully working I can probably re find the link if anyone is interested.
