Since I couldn't find this for the S2, I grabbed a Hex Editor to change the mms_config.xml file to allow the User Agent to be spoofed as an iPhone. This allowed me to use this information http://android.modaco.com/topic/301380-apn-for-internet-mms-apk-for-softbank-users-in-japan/ to get MMS up and running on my non-Docomo S2.
Step by Step:
1. I used the link above to set my APN for MMS (I have the black SIM).
2. I used "My Softbank" website to setup my softbank.ne.jp account
3. I pulled out mms_config.xml from MMS.APK and used HxD to modify the mms_config.xml file to match User Agent settings from another mms_config for an iPhone, then re-added it back into the APK.
4. I used Root Explorer to replace MMS.APK in the /system/app folder.
5. I re-booted, and was able to actually download MMS messages that I had waiting in my queue. (before it would just fail)
Hope this helps, and like everyone else, if you use this and your phone bricks, I didn't do it!

I just got SG2 from yahoo auction and wanted to use my iphone simcard into it. Can you give me some information regarding on how can I make mms and 3g connection works on SG2? What is the latest rom I can use for SG2? By the way, I think the SG2 is simcard unlocked by default as when I inserted my iphone sim, it recognize it as softbank.

hi there, thanks for providing the modified mms.apk.
i tried replacing my stock mms.apk with the one in attachment, but it didnt work.
i am using black simcard with sgs2, can you help please?
I have the apn xml file located data/etc but when I use voice dial to open apns I have different values. I can't send or recieve or send picture messages. Regular text and mobile data is working though. I tried apn backup and restore, made it a system app and backed up my apn, then edited it but was not able to restore the edited file. It keeps coming back as null :cyclops:
/system/etc/apns-conf.xml.
I'll link mine tomorrow if you font figure yours out.

Little disclaimer: Please note I only tested this on my T999 GS3 so please don't ask me for support on other devices. By following this thread you're responsible for your actions with your device.
I just want to share a little fix for those facing issues with data and MMS on Straight Talk with the newer APN using AOSP. This may only apply to newer customers like me. I thanked the user that found the solution here (more information there as to what I replaced with what). I changed two "Medianet" entries in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml to reflect the newer APN settings. Otherwise, MMS (and perhaps data) will not work properly (I could send MMS but not receive before this fix). I put the little file in a zip since XDA doesn't allow .xml uploads, it is NOT a flashable file. Unzip, put the file permissions as rw-r--r-- using Root Explorer or your preferred choice, replace the file (again, located at /system/etc/), reboot and select the first MediaNet APN at Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. Done.
A similar procedure can be done in a TouchWiz ROM, it does work. I tested it. You may or may not have to put in the newer APN at Settings.
Thanks for the contribution! BTW, it's TouchWiz
Searched this forum and couldn't find an answer. On the galaxy S3 you could go to app manager, delete data, and remove the preinstalled bookmarks, doesn't seem to work on the note 3. None of the bookmark manager apps work either. Is this a root only option now? Anyone successfully removed them without root? I have no problem rooting mine, but my wife doesn't want to on hers, but the bookmarks drive her nuts.
Thanks in advance

Hopefully someone can answer but I have run into issues with using the old method of removing the bookmarks by editing the browser.db with SQLite located in /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/. The db name and location has changed though in 4.3 tmo note 3. Now the new database "SBrowser.db" is located at /data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser/databases.
The old method does not work anymore at least for me. You can delete the bookmarks from the database but they still remain in tthe stock browser.
I encountered a similar issue with regard to the presidential alerts. Where editing the mms prefs xml was successful but upon reboot the setting went back to the old value.
Seems there is some file integrity checking going on somewhere. Just a newb so dont know fo sho.

Want to keep this thread alive. I've got root and still can't find an easy way to wipe out these bookmarks.
Not sure if it will work without a data wipe, but you can set those bookmarks as editable in I think the customer.xml in /system/csc/
If you delete PartnerBookmarksprovider.apk it deletes the annoying stock bookmarks.

Editing the XML file worked! You have to find the tags in the xml file <bookmark> delete the <bookmark></bookmark> and everything in between them. There is tag for each bookmark. Then copy the file back to your /system/csc directory. After editing you have to go into the app settings in Application Manager and wipe the Data & Cashe for the Internet Browser. You will loss all bookmarks, cookies, saved passwords, etc. but once done you'll have non of the preloaded bookmarks,only what you add. Long live opensource:good::highfive:

Thanks, this method works perfectly... But...
If you dont want to delete your browsers cache and data,
you can just change the string on every link from :
<Editable>no</Editable> to <Editable>yes</Editable>
Then, restart your phone and you can delete or edit the factory links.
This worked for me
I am rooted and neither technique work for me. I am having permission problems and can't take control of the file.
How did you get the correct permissions?

Deleting pre-installed bookarks on GS3 4.3
If you want to delete those pre-installed bookmarks from your Galaxy S3 4.3 that seem glued to Android, get yourself a root browser, aswell as having actual root access, doesn't matter which one aslong as it has 'mount read-write' support. eg, FX file explorer, or even ES file explorer. I'm sure there are others. Anyways...Go to System/root>csc>Customer.xml....Open the xml file, and look for the first line of BookmarkName>, and look for anything that says <Editable>no</Editable> and change tham all to <Editable>yes</Editable> Close, and save changes.
After that, open up Settings>Application manager>All, then open up 'Internet', and clear cache, and data(Important), close, and restart your phone(Important).
Now you will be able to remove those bookmarks. Follow this to the letter, and it will definatey work.
*Deleting the strings between </bookmarks> and <bookmarks> will not work, they will be re-created upon startup. It used to work before 4.3 update, but not now. The only changes that persist in the file change of customer.xml IS changing from 'no' to 'yes'.
Prior to CF-Auto-Root, the TWEAKED mod, and the XPosed framework with a couple-three of their thingies installed, I don't recall ever trying the long press. Being unable to delete those WRETCHED PRE-INSTALLED BOOKMARKS via checkbox method in the app was the only thing, THE ONLY THING holding me back from using it fully.
Well, wham. I've long-pressed them since then and just chose delete.
Ok I've been working on trying to get mms working for a long time and I need some help from somebody smarter than me.
I have a Sprint S3 that is flashed over to my small regional carrier Nex-tech Wireless. Currently I am on stock tw.
Nex-tech just started carrying the S3 (which is actually a variant of the Verizon S3) and I was able to pull the apns, build.prop, and secmms.apk and secmms.odex files from the Nex-Tech S3.
I've replaced the apns, made the appropriate changes in the build.prop such as changing the operator and numeric, and have tried replacing the secmms.apk on my phone (both using root explorer as well as a cwm flashable zip file). I can receive mms but it won't ever let me send. it just stays on sending and will never go through.
Does anyone know if there is anything else I can try to get mms to send? I can upload the files if it helps.
One last thing, whenever I tried to replace both the secmms.apk and secmms.odex files (mainly the .odex) the Messaging app doesn't show in the launcher. If I just replace the secmms.apk the Messaging app stays, but it still just stays on "Sending".
Thanks in advance!
Try ## DATA# in the dialer and press edit. go to the others menu and edit the mmsc url, mmsc proxy and mmsc proxy port.
You will need the phone's MSL number and the correct information for your new provider.
Hopefully that works
