[Q] Custom ROMs with Credo Mobile?

I looked and could not find a good answer to this. I am the proud new owner of a Galaxy Epic 4G Touch through Credo Mobile (the progressive Sprint reseller). I would like to install a custom ROM (CM9), but before I do, I need to know:
1) Will I have a problem activating my phone on Credo (I assume that most ROMs assume you're with Sprint proper)?
2) Once I have managed to activate it, will there be features -- calling, SMS, MMS, etc. -- that won't work?
3) Will I have a problem activating Google Voice (haven't tried on stock yet, but I have a sense of how it should go)?
4) Is there anything else I should know about the Credo / Custom ROM combination that I don't have the good sense to ask here (as a longtime CM user, I've got the basic principles of ROM-flashing down)?
Thanks all, ahead of time, for your answers!

(Sorry to even do this, but ...)
*bump*

Flashing roms do not affect the modem(which is where your service programming is stored), unless you flash a new modem of course.
I an on boost and i never have problems with any ROM, roms only affect the system partition. The modem is completely different.
If you flash a new modem, you may need to do a profile update to keep your 3g profile up to date.
I haven't heard of that so idk if a profile update will work (only with Sprint service and plans can you do an ota profile update). I am not on Sprint so i have to manually update my data profile through qpst service programming.

1. I had no problems rooting and running Blazer & Paranoid Android ROMs as if it was a Sprint phone.
2. I have a weird issue where when I get voicemails they send me an SMS, or txt (I didn't know there was a difference...), and a number to dial to choose between the 2. Then after a few minutes I sometimes get the voicemail in the Voicemail app as well. As far as MMS, I don't use them, I use email for sending pictures and videos, but if you needed that, there are instructions for changing your MMSC URL. It didn't work for me, but I don't use them anyways so I didn't bother struggling with it. Also I learned that for CM based ROMs, the ##3282## is #*#*3282*#*# or *#*#3282#*#* one or the other I don't remember.

Saw your post on the closed PA thread:
"Hey all! I'm upset to see Kbizz go NOW that I try it! I love it all, it runs very nice. Two qualms though. It didn't install with a camera, is that in the gapps I can't remember; and we use jb gapps, correct? also, how do we use dialer codes? I've got to edit a mscurl so I can accept and send pictures. I have a third party (Credo) phone carrier through Sprint."
I have Credo too, what extra things do we have to do to get full functionality?

There's the problem - you're on an MVNO.
1) Go to phone and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
2) Go to Edit and enter MSL
3) Go to Others and then MMSC URL
4) Change from mms.sprintpcs.com to mms.plspictures.com
This should restore MMS.

3. I'm about to set up Google Voice, but I can't figure out if the Sprint/GV combo works with CREDO, it seems to not recognize the number as a Sprint number, so that may be a problem.

Unable to change default Voicemail?

I was about to type this up when I found a nice help file on Google site.
If you get the note2 and it says 'error forwarding' when you change from AT&T Voicemail to Google Voicemail, do this:
1. Go to google.com/voice
2. Settings (gear top right)
3. Phones
4. Under Mobile (or whatever you called your 'real' cell number), select Edit
5. Choose Show advanced settings
6. Under Forwarding Options, choose Activate
7. You will get a code that looks like *004*your_google_voice_number#
8. Hit call or 'dial' that code.
Done, when you check your phone, it will say "my carrier" under voicemail

You can also manually change the voicemail number to your google voice number in phone settings along with the call forwarding numbers. This way the voicemail button on your keypad will dial in to google voice services.

They pushed out an update for Google voice today that fixes this issue.

Google Voicemail from Call Logs (AT&T GN2)
I thought Google voicemail was supposed to be integrated with the dialer (voicemail messages should show up in the call logs). There is an option in Google Voice settings to turn this on, but even when I turn it on it doesn't work for me. Does this work for anyone else? BTW, I have the AT&T version.

I suspect that only works with the AOSP dialer.

This saved me a big headache. Regular setup would not work and I forgot all about this.

Right on!
Worked like a charm!

Also once this is done. It stays set till you change forwarding option again. I havent set mine in a long time. Been throught 4 devices and they all work with g voice no setup needed.

Of course I read this now after taking 45 - 50 mins to figure it out last night, LOL!

My phones acting all glitchy..:(

First I noticed that my email icon says I have 205 emails, no matter what. I also noticed that my voicemail icon doesnt like to clear. All my ringtones were set back to default even my email and text. Even after resetting my email ringtone it still wont sound. My multi-window kept opening every time I hit the back button even though I had made it stay closed by pressing and holding the back button. I had to restart my phone for that to work correctly. While this was going on, my phones battery was really bad for 2 days. I didnt even use it, it was connected to wifi and the battery drained by 8 pm, with no use. Its 10:45 here right now and I have 80%, which is good. I noticed the screen flickers with white sometimes too when I hit the home key. I am getting really tired of my phone not working. There was another thing that wasnt working correctly but I forgot what it was, a restart fixed it though. Anyone else having problems? what should I do? I know it isnt much but I like my stuff to work correctly. I Am stock rooted. I am not on lk8.

No one has a response?

Factory reset it?

Sounds like something is borked from a bad download or flash. I would reset to rule out the normal issues. With all the sms and app backup programs out there you don't stand to lose much, if anything, by reflashing the rom.
Why the hesitation?
Rooting can be great but typically is to install a program (feature) or rom that didn't come stock. If you're doing this and can't afford to reset if a conflict comes up then it generally its a good idea to stay 100% stock and let sprint fix your issues [which they typically do with a reset]
If you decide to reset try sms backup, and an app backup program like titanium or app backup and restore.
Good luck!

If you go into the phone settings, there should be a setting called "identify unsaved numbers". Enable that. Profit.
Works great on mine. It may be country dependant though. Not sure if the setting is available on yours.

can you post a pic of that setting? Seems like I dont have it, or maybe i disabled something with package disabler.

Here you go!

Hmm, I don't see it on mine either. Mine is the ATT variant.

That sucks. Maybe certain carriers disabled it. I'm on Telus in Canada now and it works, and my previous S7 Edge on Rogers also had the feature. It's awesome.

Perhaps it's on certain models? I'm running a dual sim version on Koodo and I don't have it either..

Maybe that's it. Disabled via software on certain models.

I don't have that option. Instead, I have this payed software installed by T-Mobile by default:

I have the Sprint version of payed caller ID installed on my phone.

The "identify unsaved numbers" is hidden but available in all ROMs. It might not work in your country so they disabled it for you. To get the option do the follwoing:
1. Download Nova Launcher and install it.
2. Once installed, run it and add an activity widget by long pressing on the screen.
3. In the list of activities to choose from (they are in groups by applications) scroll down to the Phone app. There are three Phone apps. Choose the one with the most activities (I had 99 activities in it, you might get less or more)
4. Once you click the Phone app, the list of activities will collapse and if you scroll down touwill find the "Identify unsaved numbers". Click on it to save the widget.
5. Click on the widget and enable the option.
6. Remove Nova Launcher to get back to TW.

Edit: Nvm, figured it out. Need to long press, and select Widget. Under the Noiva Launcher group, select activities. Then go from #3.
Thanks for the help!

Cool. Got it enabled, but it is still not working as it should. Thanks to Sprint for making the phone just a bit worse.

it's showing on the UK variant I just picked up from O2. however I think it has the base firmware on it as it lacked all the O2 bloatware.

Thanks for the Nova guide, ATT user here and I also have that paid ID bs on my phone.

Reading up on it a bit more, it sounds like on some carrier versions, using Nova to enable doesn't change anything. Sounds like there is more involved with it. I have it enabled, but don't see any changes. Also, the local search doesn't work as well. Guess I'll use Google Phone in the meantime... At least i can get local search.

It is installed on the UK Samsung unlocked model.

After update to android 11 on samsung s20+ Dual Sim call ICONS does not appear anymore on contacts

Before i can choose from wich sim i make call or send sms now i have only one in sms and for calls i can put option to chose every time.
Anyone know how to roll back this like in android 10?
Thx.

I am also interested in that if anyone can help

yes i noticed that also now u can't chose anymore from which sim u
gonna make call, you can either go on every contact and put
from wich sim you wanna call particular person by default
or you can go in settings and chose which sim is gonna be
default for contatcs, sms and mobile data.

Just hold the call button, then you can choose which SIM to make call.
Edit: It only works on recent calls screen.

This implementation helps me a lot because I use SIMs from 2 different countries and I don't want to press the wrong button. I have many times pressed wrong buttons before.

Not only has Samsung destroyed a feature that makes it easier to make calls, but it also ruined the Audible features that I use all the time, now I wonder what else has been deleted or added that They think is good for the rest of us. We must all call these "Don't ask or tell what you want or the changes that matter to most all of us that have dual SIM setup. I need this phone for business and personal. I am searching for the previous op sys now.

This option is not available on the missed calls... If I have a missed call on sim2 and call back it now uses sim1... I liked the Android 10 better for dual sim

Well i recive mail from support where they conifrm i can forget this feaure anymore. So i sold my S20+ and buy MI 11. Keep it good work samsung

I will write to Samsung Report as well..
Any other place this app can be reviewed in other to put pressure in Samsung? Galaxy Store isn't possible..

Hi Everyone - FYI this same issue has been posted on many Samsung Communities threads and unfortunately Samsung has zero plans to fix the Samsung Messages app for SMS. Samsung also has zero plans to fix the dialer on the Samsung Phone app that results User Experience issues, Security Issues, Cost issues and Privacy issues.
Here is the temp solution....Just revert back to Android 10, UI 2.5 and you will get both SIM1 + SIM2 buttons for calls and Messages
