Guide: How I fixed MMS Settings in Flashable VS996. Might work on All V30 Stock Roms.

Hey all. I thought I would share what I found in fixing my own MMS issues in the hopes that maybe this will help other people. I only take responsibility for what I did to my own Frankensteined, unlocked, US998 kdz'd, stock Verizon Rom'd V30 phone. If this doesn't work for you or causes you issues, I am in no way at fault or liable for what you did to your own phone. I only know this worked for me.
I'm on Verizon and installed Westwood's flashable VS996 20-D ROM over the US998 20B KDZ. For some time, I've been having issues sending MMS messages from both Android's Stock "Messaging" app and Google's "Messages" app. I was able to use Verizon Messaging+, which is set to work directly with Verizon's servers, and was also able to use Legacy mode in Textra, where I was able to set the APN for Textra to use independently of what the system was set to use. However, I wanted to use the somewhat more Default messaging apps, Android Messaging or Google Messages...or at least have the ability to do so.
After a lot of sleuthing, and some subsequent testing, I found that the default APN settings for MMS messaging is saved in:
\root\data\data\com.android.mms\shared_prefs\com.android.mms_preferences.xml​
Now, there's a lot of other stuff in there, and I didn't feel comfortable changing things around in that file, so I used another program, Shortcut Master Lite, from the XDA forums, to search for those hidden settings. (There is also a full, paid version of this program on Google Play to support the developer. There are likely many other programs that do the same things as well).
In ShortcutMaster Lite, I clicked the hamburger (3-dot) button choose App Explorer.
I scrolled down to and clicked on Messaging (com.android.mms)
I scrolled to the bottom and clicked on MmsSprintSettingActivity
I clicked on Launch
There I was able to see what the default MMS settings are. In my case, this was still set to the Sprint URL, https:/mms.sprintpcs.com, and some fancy Gateway and Port.
I changed these values to match up with Verizon's MMS settings, so I set the URL to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms, and then left Gateway and Set Port blank. After saving this, the phone IMMEDIATELY rebooted on it's own. After a brief heart attack, the phone rebooted and .... whaBAM! Both Messaging and Messenger work fine now!
It's kind of funny that the setting that needs to be changed is MmsSprintSettingActivity, no? Is that a holdover from the original KDZ? Is @westwood24 's Rom possibly flawed?
Also funny is that, upon post-change review, the Gateway field, which I intentionally left blank, says "only sprint server". Ha!
So in the end, these steps helped me fix my stock MMS-application(s) setting(s) problem(s). Maybe this can help others as well.

I decided to experiment with this yesterday. I'm on Verizon and have a converted LS998 and was using US99820d flashable ROM. I purchased Shortcut Master and did some exploring. Sorry I didn't grab any screenshots while in the US998 ROM but I found a similar mms/apn hidden app that mentioned Sprint in its name that wasn't exactly under com.android.mms. I changed it the url to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (notice the spelling of servlets lacking the "e") and blanked out all the other fields. The phone rebooted when I closed the app. I use Textra so went I to its settings and reverted the MMS behavior from Legacy back to System. I rebooted and opened Textra back up to find it fully working on the "stock" System mms settings. I thought this was a good reason to flash the latest VS996_20F ROM. I flashed the ROM and found the same mms location/settings reported by my.ads0 in the VS996 ROM. Using Shortcut Master I explored system apps and found Messaging com.android.mms (screen shot 1). I tapped it and launched MmsSprintSettingsActivity (screen shot 2). After launching, this is where you can edit default Sprint url (screen shot 3). You have to blank out all the other fields with the space bar. I closed the app and the phone rebooted. Textra was now fully functioning under the VS996 ROM without using its Legacy setting. The stock LG and Verizon sms apps are working too.
A bonus note is that I checked my WiFi calling and Video calling settings after all of this and they both were not grayed out! I'll have to try to test this soon. I never used these features because I live in a rural area but if they work because of the information that my.ads0 found it might help others. It may help that my Verizon account was already provisioned for these features because of my VZW Droid Turbo.)
What I'm sort of taking from all of this is that either the ROM or your provider's network automagically senses and fills in the mms system settings according to the type of LG V30 device you have unless you actually edit these settings to reflect your service provider when using a Frankensteined V30.

WiFi calling is working. :good:

Video calling working too!

First of all, thanks for pointing out the error in my URL. I've changed "servelets" to "servlets" in the 1st post as it should be.
Second of all...WOW! I'm so glad that my write-up helped you out!

I know! Isn't that crazy? That kept on throwing me for a loop and sent me searching for that elusive value. Does that mean that the KDZ process sets that value and then the Verizon flashing just leaves it in place? Weird.

Sweet! So that's the fix needed for verizon roms. Canestfr & I had to check for OTA's at least once to enable those features on our devices. But if this method does that for us, that's even better as it kills two birds with one stone.
Thanks for these follow ups, 4stringenator!

Hopefully what you started will help other Verizon folks! This is what XDA is all about. We may not have numerous custom Roms but every little bit helps keep control of our tech.

here i have to protect westwood24 it's not flawed, it's just fact that these zips doesn't contain all and everything of a full firmware kdz, like partition table, op partition and roundabout ten to 15 other partitions are missing. i would bet that this wouldn't happen on a full kdz flash :good:

I don't believe it has anything to do the gracious work that westwood24 has done for community either. :good: I have the same issue with full VS996 and US998 KDZs. The firmware and VZW network can detect that I am using a LS998 device. I always had to change the settings within the sms/mms apps to get multimedia messages work properly. Having the ability to change these setting within the android system helped my non-Verizon supported LS998 become fully functional now. (At least in the St. Louis area VZW network) :victory: There probably is way more to this but I'm happy that I didn't have to pay full price for a VS996 and now can enjoy all the features on an affordable LS998 V30.

Is there any way to get to these settings without purchasing an app?

I ended up not needing to do this anyway. Thanks though

ok, will this work for me? I have an LS998 Frankensteined to US998 running US99820e Oreo and am using Total Wireless (verizon mvno)
I was using textra legacy, but they have omitted it now from their latest update, so MMS isn't working anymore for me, so i would like to see if this works for my situation.
I have shortcut master lite installed, but cant find what the rest of this post states to change/update the mms.
Thanks

You can always go back to using previous Textra. And then don't let it update. UNcheck automatic updates for that one app in Google Play.

One expects a full KDZ flash to convert the phone to the model of the KDZ, at least within compatible sets like US998 (open market and US cellular flavors), LS998, VS996 and AS998. Subtle issues like with texting and booting weirdness of AOSP roms on certain frankensteined models shows that isn't true. Thinking like a detective, there might be value in collecting images from Frankensteined v30's according to this matrix below for comparisons and to pull back the curtain. One benefit would be to understand what is happening behind the scenes. Another is to have a list of all of the differences to account for in a conversion.

I just noticed that today when I updated Textra too. The updated Textra should work once you find the system mms settings. I'm using the updated Textra currently with no issues. You are going to have to explore and poke around a little under system apps in Shortmaster. Look under com.android.mms to begin with. Start launching and exploring untill you find the settings screen with the Set URL, Gateway and Set Port. Tap on each one to edit. (Sorry I can't remember where it was when using the US99820x rom.) Once you find this you only change the URL to http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms. The Gateway and Port need to be blank. Once you change those and tap your back navigation button the phone will reboot. Go back and check your settings to make sure the Url is correct and the others are blank. I have a Verizon account, your gateway and port may need to be adjusted for Total Wireless https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/total-wireless-apn-settings/

Textra app update after Nov. 1st FYI
My question to Textra devs on Dec 11: "I had issues with not being able to change the mms to "legacy' a few updates ago. I always needed this ability to edit the mms url and port for Textra to function properly. I purchased the app specifically for that function a few years ago because I use a rooted phone and custom ROMs on Verizon. Is this feature forever discontinued?"
Textra's reply:
As part of a greater Google initiative to ensure all apps are compiled against a later version of Android (API 26) from 1 Nov 2018, all apps must comply. For Textra users, this means the following features had to be removed in order to comply:
1) Notification Icons can only be white (unless you are running Android KitKat or below)
2) Notification vibration is either on or off (with a pattern) and can no longer be set independantly of your phones sound settings (as was the case in v3.50 of Textra).
3) The Android System APIs must be used for MMS, you can no longer do your own MMS protocol due to certain APIs no longer being available. This means the WiFi fix feature is also gone in Textra.
Please understand these are not features we wanted to remove (why would we?), but we had no choice.
For more details see https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk
Still not happy? Please don't give a poor review, as we have no control over this, and leaving a poor review only hurts us. Even if you are angry at Google, don't shoot the messenger!
You can always downgrade to v3.50 (the last version of Textra without these Google changes) but remember you'll never get another update again or any bug fixes. Understood?
1) Uninstall Textra
2) Install http://adhoc.textra.me/Textra-35090.apk
3) Turn off auto-updates for Textra in Google Play

I recently purchased a new V 30+ from Wally World. Unlocked, rooted, and flashed vs996g. Everything is fine except VOWIFI. With my previous V30+ I was able to get VOWIFI working but with the new one, no luck. I have used Shortcut Master and gone into Verizon Hidden Menu and populated the VOWIFI toggle with my number, enabled VOWIFI in WIFI calling, LG IMS Provisioning, and Call services and still no luck. I get the VOWIFI enabled in Advanced calling, the VOWIFI Icon next to all my contacts, but when I go to make a call, it says WIFI Call for a couple of seconds and then the icon disappears before the call connects. I'm ready to give up and go back to my other V30+ and use this one as my backup, but I really wanted to use this one as my daily driver since it's brand new. Anyone have any suggestions?

Just tried to tun my wifi calling back on, my network is having issues. I live in a very rural area. Can try when I'm back at work in the big city.
Are you using same sim from the other V30?

Yes, same sim. Someone on another thread suggested a logcat, but I don't know what I'm looking at. Not even sure if I did it correctly.

I just tried enabling WIFI calling, no dice. I haven't checked its functionality since I dirty flashed VS99620g over f. I never thought to check. Video calling still works though.

Chat Features in Messages

Anyone else have the issue with enabling chat features in Messages? I'm not sure if it is a carrier issue or an issue with Messages or the device? I've tried contacting my carrier and getting them to reset my RCS profile, but apparently they are having "issues" with doing this. I have read that others have had this issue and replacing the sim card has fixed it. I tried doing that yesterday to no avail. I get the attached message and then nothing ever happens. I've tried clearing cache and data for Messages, trying again, rebooting, etc. No go. This was a feature I really wanted to get enabled on this device. My carrier (Rogers) does offer RCS messaging, but this simply is not working or not provisioning with the carrier server.

Since no one ever responded here and the carrier still hasn't come up with a fix, here is what I did to enable chat features and get past that "excuse the wait..." screen:
Restarted the device
Go to settings-apps-android messages and then force stop
Launch Google Play and uninstall messages
Then go back to Google Play and install latest version again
Chat features are then enabled. Not that it's that big of a deal because if the people you are texting don't have a phone that supports RCS and even if they do, if they don't have chat features turned on, then it still won't work. It was simply bugging me because the option was there and I couldn't get it enabled.

I am with rogers and have same issue. How do you uninstall messages? It only uninstall its update. Do you root to uninstall complete messages app?

I'm also with Rogers, and this is the solution that worked for me. I found it on the Rogers Community forums.
You have to disable the app called Carrier Services, now setup RCS through the Messages app.
Then you can reenable Carrier Services.
I also rebooted, but I don't know if that's necessary. I hope this helps.

If you force stop it, you can uninstall. It may only uninstall the updates, but it does uninstall after you finally get it to force stop. I had to try force stop a couple of times.

I didn't have to do this portion. When I went into Messages after doing my steps, chat features were automatically enabled.
What was really funny is Rogers kept sending me emails telling me they were "working on a fix but hadn't found one yet." When I got another email yesterday stating this from them, I chatted with tech support and told them I had fixed it myself so they could stop sending me emails about them working on it. Then I get an email from them stating that "they had fixed my issue..." LOL. Sure, sure you did.

I can't honestly say this was the cause, but my issues didn't happen until I updated to the January Security Patch. I'll try these steps tonight to see if I can get them re-enabled.

Does Rogers sell the Pixel 3 in their stores? I'm curious because I have purchased my Pixel 3 from Google and I'm using it on a carrier (T-Mobile) who doesn't sell the P3, but is starting to support RCS. However, their version of RCS support appears to only be enabled through a carrier supplied software update to T-Mobile branded phones. I'm afraid I'll never be able to use RCS on the ONE phone that comes with RCS support out of the box.
But if you were able to get RCS support without Rogers selling the phone, then there may still be hope for me someday!

Yup. Both the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL in their stores, online,etc.

If anyone's RCS won't work after clicking "yes, I'm in", just disable carrier services, go back to messages and opt in again. Once working, enable carrier services.

Chat features work in Messages App by Google LLC for me nearly everywhere now:
- Huawei AL10 P9 running Emui 8 Oreo on Telekom network in Hungary on WiFi (no Data subscription)
- Samsung Note 4 N910V LineageOS 16.0 Pie on Telekom network in Hungary on WiFi and Data
- Samsung Note 4 N910V LineageOS 16.0 Pie on GoogleFi roaming in Hungary on WiFi (cannot get LTE Network/Data connected to any tower)
- new device Google Pixel 2 XL Android Q on GoogleFi roaming in Hungary (will test in July)
On my home MikroTik router WiFi, where I run a domain and webserver, i forward port 80/443 to the webserver.
This is the only WiFi network, where I cannot use chat features for unknown reasons.
QUESTION: WHAT PORT(S) DOES RCS / CHAT FEATURES USE ON A WIFI NETWORK FOR COMMUNICATION TO OTHER PARTY AND THE PROVIDER SERVER (IN CASE OF FILE TRANSFER)
Google Fi support and Telekom HU Support dont understand the simple question or they resist to answer me, by replying constantly with the copy/paste of troubleshooting guides that I read all already. Either those are bot replies, or Google started to employ Level 1 people that are forced to reply automatic text. Telekom HU Support always was a big pain in the ass.

did you every figure it out?
Did you ever get this figured out? I've put my router in full DMZ and I still can't get RCS chat features to work on my home WiFi … but They USED TO WORK until a month or two ago... not sure when, It was my wife who noticed. tred 4 phones on 3 carriers, non work. many businesses have notices on the front doors too because it's killing employee's batteries while they work all day. Google refuses to answer.

I never succeeded yet
I assume (as a RCS novice) support has no idea what RCS is and Google has support agents that have also no idea and the people who developed this left the company or got kicked out...

I also think that my webserver port 80 and 443 causes this, I will try disabling the forward cause my webserver died waiting for replacement unit

I changed the forwarding to not forward ports 80 and 443 to a dedicated IP, still did not help
the router behind my mikrotik router and its wifi is capable of getting a status Connected
the mikrotik router itself and its wifi cannot get beyond Connecting...
I wonder if that might have to do something with IPv6?

Hi. After resetting the phone to factory settings, I can not turn on the chat features, the message configures is displayed, after a few attempts the message "confirm your number" appears, after three attempts the message "limit exceeded try again tomorrow" and so on overnight trying. There is a solution to this problem?

I had Honor Note 10 with same problems.
Look here, may be you get help:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-10/help/notifications-fixed-t3836701
Look the post #7.

solution:
There are 2 settings that will totally minimize this problem (even Galaxy note 8 and iphones of my brothers are having this problem too)
but if you follow these 2 steps you will definitely minimize them as much as other phones
1. Settings/Battery/App Launch and set individual aps you like to get the notification to Manage manually
- turn all the 3 options on here (running in background , startups , and can be run by other apps) this will stop your phone from killing these specific apps from running in background
The second reason you don't get your notifications is because when your screen is off the Wifi will be disconnected first and then for a certain period of time , the system will also turn off your mobile data to save the battery as well. This means even if you have those apps running in background , you still won't get the notification because there's no internet connection....
So step 2 - go to Settings/Battery/ then look at the top right corner for the "gear" icon ,click ---- > Keep mobile data on <----- turn on option
(if you don't have mobile data plan and only rely on your wifi connection,well, you need to turn on keep your w-lan on instead )
the delays and problems are still present.........gmail apk !!! google mail!!
My mate 20 x is chinese version EVR-AL00 with android 10 and Emui 10....with my other phone (Xiaomi Mi Max 3) it's all OK perfect ??? why????

Question Is network settings available through the dialer on the Pixl 6 Pro

My about to go into the trash OP9 is now so ruined by oxygen 12 that this vital option no longer works.
can anyone confirm google hasn't removed this option too?

I use this app to do it for me even though 8 have the code saved it's the 2nd option

If anyone has Fi you can use this. Only way I got signal at work while the tower nearby was being worked on for nearly two weeks. Showed bars, had connection info in the basic settings.

Question ColorOS 12/12.1 users: Do you have an issue with notifications not showing on AOD/Lockscreen?

I'm trying out COS and its genuinely one of the smoothest experiences for this phone I had, until I realized that no matter how many factory resets I did, no matter how many notifications settings I changed / toggled I could not get a single notification to show on LS/AOD. Anyone else? I'm on LE2125.

I noticed that as well. I ended up having to go back to OOS because it was killing a lot of my apps in the background and I was missing notifications from that and also the lock screen issue. It sucks because as you say, it was a pretty smooth experience once I figured out how to work around some things with the OS (took me a bit to figure out how to sign up for HeyTap/Oppo Cloud so I could sideload because it wouldn't let me sign up on the phone).

You left Google in one of your slots. MSM tool OTA, and local update cos 11.a.13. Then flash cos12

I wiped my phone after I went to COS. Nothing Google was left. Same issue remained.

My experience was different. I got the notification's but can't download MMS pictures. I tried almost every text, mms app there was but nothing. Yes colorOS is so smooth. I ran it for along time. So unfortunately I went back to android. Now I'm getting my pic. Damn.

Can't be possible. I MSM to 11.2.2.2, took one OTA to 11.2.10.10. Then I Local Update to OOS C.47 (also tried MSM and then local update to OOS C.36) and no matter what I try, notifications do not appear on the lock screen / AOD.

unfortunately, cos for China only supports certain apps like QQ, WeChat, texts or phone calls to be shown on the aod. Only the global version of cos for oppo phones supports it but there's no cos global for oneplus phones.

Certainly noticed that COS doesn't like to show notifications for third party apps at all. The default was no sound, no lock screen, no banner on everything. It was so annoying changing that for every app

That is extremely disappointing given how positive of an experience I had on COS. Too bad there isn't a magisk module or anything to fix it. It genuinely is the best ROM I've ever used on the OP9P. It's always the tiniest things that make me have to stop using a ROM lol.

No, I'll make a video later. I gotta fetch the time first.

Yes, this are the 2 problems for me too with ColorOS. I use it from C.36 to C.61.
Notifications not working on my phone (non chinese apps, of course) & the clock option (Power ON the phone and sound the alarm). This one is more important to me wake up for work.

I couldn't found any method that let me show notifications on aod on my op9pro with cos. Just tell us if you know how to get its notifications to work properly

Notification not working for Non chinese apps.
For now ColorOS is not fully Global for Oneplus 9 Pro.
