Hey cornaljoe,

I've been using this for a while and it seems like MMS is still hit or miss. Immediately after I flash the fix and setup my APN (I'm on the $55 plan and I delete the $45 entry in the APN's), MMS works, generally. If I reboot thereafter, my MMS never works...

I updated the APN to include my number correctly. I'm for sure using the Cricket-branded Messaging app and that all looks to be correct...

Any thoughts?

EDIT:

Jeebus, that was a STUPID mistake on my behalf -- I forgot to Open APN and make sure it was using the $55 plan. Works like a charm now. Oy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Yeah, I did this alot during my test when I first started working on the fix. Now I make sure to check it everytime.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Can anyone on CM10 nightlies with the popup messenger update test this apk for me? It's the mms.apk from nightly 9-14 edited to work on Cricket. Just replace the apk from the fix with the one included below and flash over your CM10 nightly. If it behaves just like the stock mms.apk + cricket mms I will update the zip to include this for the nightlies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] logic0verflow:
Any tips for only being able to send pictures that are really small like dock icons? Cant send anything larger like the cameras 5mp pictures or whenever it has to convert the image to fit MMS. I've tried clean installs of CM9 and CM10 with fix only and still same results. I'm using GB since my setup works perfectly but ICS and JB are way cooler to use lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
The asop mms.apk limits MMS to 1MB. You could try downloading a messaging app from the market. I'll look into increasing the limit set.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Does this fix work for there new plans like the 60$ muve music I am about to hook my epic on criket and I don't see the 55$ andriod plan anymore on there site
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
The 55Android APN should work on all the new Android plans Cricket just put in place. I'm currently in the process of changing my plan so I'll be able to test it soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Sweet I have mine all set to activate just got the wify one for 50 still in box brand new was going to flash it also....using cm 9.1 with the ns4g modem so far no issues just checking if that might have been a issue. I see the cricket fix turned the phone and message apk blue any way to get them green again. The blue is over kill with all of the other icons blue already.... I have tried the gs3 icon pack and they didn't change.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
The phone icon is always blue. I've been having trouble recompiling the mms.apk from CM9. I'll try the one from CM9.1 and post it in a bit.

Edit: Here try the apk below. It's the CM9.1 mms.apk modified to work with Cricket. Just replace the mms.apk from the zip in the OP and flash over CM9.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
I will give it a try still kind a noobish at modding files I can flash all day long with no problems. Would love to learn how to build and port. Going next week to activate both phone had to let sprint go.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Well no luck on my side couldn't get it to stick. It kept turning back to blue I might be doing something wrong like I said not good at Modding files I tried with 7zip but I'm a noob
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Here you go try this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
I ran across the muve music apk if any one wants to try it out I got it to install on cm9.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

I will try it out
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
muve music apk

if any one wants to try it out....

http://www.cricketusers.com/downloads/muve.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
It works on ICS but it requires a special SD.

I currently changed to an Andriod plan and confirm the apks I uploaded don't work. They will be removed. I will continue working on it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Cool. I will be swapping to cricket next week so I will be able to test some things out also. been reading around on some roms fixes and I would like to see the muve working. I have seen the special "cricket sd" on some other forums also

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

your original fix work though right with the new plans the have...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Yeah the original fix does work on the new plans.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Yea thank man.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
You wouldn't have a cm7/gb fix floating around would you
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
The original fix that inspired me to work on this is here:

CM9/CM7 Cricket-added CM7 by jpond83. I'm not sure if it works on Touchwiz based roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
So one epic flashed over to cricket on the 50 $ android plan so far every thing checks out good but it was the wife's one so good luck on me getting my hands on it...:p The one thing that I was banging my head over was the phone number and min number couldn't get it to work until a hour on the computer and found the ota finish flash to apply the numbers
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Yeah I noticed when you go to open an account they don't give you the MIN unless you request it. It used to be the same as your phone number but they changed it recently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Strange thing when I called the *nub to finish flash it changed the prl and when I went to flash the one on this thread she lost messaging completely... txt and mms all setting where correct where did I go wrong(bad flash maybe)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
It's not recommended to use OTA programming as it can hurt more than it helps. I'll try reprograming the phone manually. There is a guide in the OP that should step you through the process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Yea I followed it. But it did not say any thing about doing the min and midn numbers and the ota was the only way to get those numbers in there. That I could figure out.Right now she is using cm7 cricket and working great..but I would like to get the cm9 back on. I flashed the phone first following the cricket flash guide the activated on cricket had no service. Put the numbers in apn and picked 55 plan got the 50 plan(told her I wanted the 55plan for android and 50 is what I got) from cricket(they have a 50 60 70 and 55iphone plan)sorry for the long post didn't want to double post
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
What ROM where you on when you programmed the phone? Did you get talk and text before trying this fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Stock rooted fc09 when apply prl. Flashed Cm9 fc09 modem and yes... I did the ota flash to get the midn and min placed in..{could not figure out how to do it with qpst} ota changed prl. Flashed the prl in op back....had talk and txt flashed mms fix from op lost txt and mms. Flashed cm7 every thing works. Will try a full cm9 flash from start here later tonight if I can get the phone out of wifes hands :D she is loving the epic vs her evo's....or I might wait till I get mine active....I might have had a bad flash{it happens some times} I do know that much..
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
You only have to program the phone once so if it's working on CM7 it should work again in CM9 after applying the fix. OK coming from CM7 flash CM9 then let it boot to make sure it flashed properly. You won't get data until you flash the fix so try wifi. After making sure CM9 flashed properly reboot into recover and flash the fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Cool.. now with the phone number and min should I stay stock and let cricket put it in the phone or is that something I can do on qpst when I tried it change both to the same number I didn't have two separate numbers(for when I do mine) that is why I did the ota programming
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
You don't have to do anything now that it's already programmed. Just flash CM9 then the fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
For when I do mine I have hers up and running good but the question I have is about the phone number and min should I let cricket put that in do you have some instruction on how to do it I have tried looking all over on how to. I can't find any info
[Epic 4G Android Development] classic7876:
ever since flashing this im getting internet and mms but not getting 3g i thought it was just cause i was being throttled but it seems this is not the case is there any fix for this
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
What rom are you on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] classic7876:
aokp build 4 but i was using the cm10 nightlies too and got the same problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Does the 3G symbol show up but you are getting low speeds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] classic7876:
Its a rare occasion that the 3g symbol shows up but the speeds are mostly show
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Have you tried different PRLs and tested the differences in speed?

I'm having the same issue but I believe Cricket is just throttling data now. It started around the time they added the Iphone to their selection. It was the main reason I changed to an Android plan for the promise of no-throttling up to 1GB.

On the 45Allin plan I was getting speeds of ~1.5MB/s when I first opened my account. Around the time they added the Iphone it dropped to ~0.2MB/s. Now on 50Android I'm getting speeds of ~0.6MB/s. My 3G is on ~95% of the time and it'll drop to 1x on occasion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Followed directions to flash overs and long txt are sending as symbles even after split how t fix it I have been reading but I don't want to use a 3rd party app
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
It seems this is an issue with CM10 using modified mms.apks. The next update I'm working on should fix this but I going to wait until CM10 goes stable before I do. If you need I can post the stock CM10 mms.apk that should work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] auberry05:
Hey i know this is for Samsung but i cant find no one to help me...I have a Droid Incredible 2 flashed to cricket running Cm9 and everything works BUT receiving MMs...I can send and receive sms and can send mms but cant receive mms
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
My next update will fix this issue as well. The current zip is built with the Epic's MTD partition in mind so if your ROM isn't MTD then this zip won't work. On another note I've also fixed the delay in sending and receiving MMS messages.
[Epic 4G Android Development] auberry05:
Dude you are so awesome i would buy you whatever you want right now!!!!!I downloaded your Zip AND extracted the MMS.app.Well i erased my mms app on my HTC DROID INCREDIBLE 2 and added yours to the system/app and restarted the phone and went back to the app and BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM all of the mms i havent been able to receive i am now able too...With no problem...All i did was extract the zip on my desktop and went through your zip and found the mms.app and looked through the app files and found how the mms siz was smaller in your mms.apk/res/xml/mms_config.xml then mine so i tried it and bam bam bam it worked.....MAN I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW AND I NEED YOUR PERMISSION TO SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS IF POSSIBLE..I WILL KEEP IT ON XDA ONLY AND WILL NOT TAKE NO CREDIT AT ALL I WILL SEND EVERYONE YOUR WAY...IT WORKS ON VIPERINC 1.0,2,CM9 AND 10.... YOU FUDGING ROCK MAN.....MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH I KNOW YOU DIDNT TELL ME ANYTHING AND I FOUND IT OUT ON MY OWN BUT IF IT WAS FOR YOU POST,ZIP,AND MMS.APK MY MMS WOULD STILL BE MESSED UP.....:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Lol, thanks but the credit goes to jpond83 in regards to the mms.apk. The next update will include my own mms.apk which will fix the delay in sending and receiving. Glad you figured it out as I went through the same process in the beginning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
I was using cm9 and it did it cm7 cricket also.. any ideas or is it still a glitch in cm I can't find anything about it anymore I know of the beta and rc had that problem but I figured stable wouldn't have this issue anymore..me personally I don't txt that big but she does 2 or three pages worth of txt...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
From what I understand it's the way the asop mms.apk in CM handles splitting messages. The current apk in my zip has it disabled. I will fix this in my next update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Sweet she would love it..... I told her just to use google voice for her txt till I found a answer....
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Stock Cm9.1 can receive will not send Any idea fc09 modem nothing special done flashed a few times and same thing also on cm9 same thing

Fixed for now lets see if it sticks this time the son setting user name keeps going to default @mycricket.com even after saving it. When reboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
You have to edit the xml in the zip before you flash if you want it to stick. It's the recommended steps 1-3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
On the post it said if not comfortable skip down and do it through the phone but I'm learning some new things about editing files others just flashing stuff
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
It's a good place to start as it's pretty simple. It kinda makes you want to learn more or at least it did for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Update coming soon. This new version will detect the version of Android flashed and make the appropriate changes needed for that specific version. Currently only supports ICS and JB roms but support may be added for others.

Edit: OP updated. Happy Holidays all!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Works great!

Anyway to get the black like the v4 with the blue txt(inverted?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
I'm actually looking into theming atm. This should receive more frequent updates since 4.2 is still experimental. So the next update should include themed apks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Yea your awesome. Have you done any ROM ports, I have been working on some[first attemps] but can't seem to get it right I keep getting fc on android.phone.com or something like that trying to port BAKED JB from the NS4G over and MIUI JB over I have some post in Q&A and there is some downloads and frameworks up some dev said they would look at them but never heard anything back
[Epic 4G Android Development] classic7876:
I get a force close then trying to send mms
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
No, but sounds pretty interesting. I always wondered why there haven't been any custom ROMs like the NS4G has. I'll take a look at it but we'll be in the same boat.

What ROM are you on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] classic7876:
Experimental 4.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Did you download the update? This fixed the issue with the FC in 4.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] classic7876:
Yes i did just did last night
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
When you installed the zip what it say in recovery? It should state which apk was flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
I will give a answer I tried it on the 10.1 121228 build and when flashed it says ics mms.apk
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Yeah, it seems my detect script is a little borked. I was in a hurry so I didn't test it on any other ROMs beside my current one:CM10.1 12/22. I'll try to get it fixed by tommorrow. This will also include theme apks.

Edit: OP updated. Let me know what you think about the theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
MMS

Can anyone help me please here is a screen shot of my build will change anything and everything to get this working
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Did you try accessing the APN menu through Shortcuts->Activities?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Looks good less white on the eyes but how to get to apn settings on 10.1 voice dialer is borked on 10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
You need to create a shortcut at Activities->Settings->APNs
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
how do i create the apn shortcut i only see vpn that i can make?
[Epic 4G Android Development] classic7876:
Which launcher are u using
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
touch wiz do i need another launcher

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

I am using the stock launcher (touch wiz) which launcher allows me to make apn shortcut?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Nova or Apex I think stock TW might have the same for the ICS not sure App drawer,Widget,Activity,Setting,APN
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
I recommend you switch to an ICS or JB AOSP ROM if you want this fix to work. You might be able to get MMS working if you just change the apn settings in your ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
By the way is this even for the epic 4g touch or for the epic 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Its for the Epic 4G but it should work on the Touch if you have an ICS or JB AOSP ROM installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
MMS

Ok i got to were i can send mms but cant receive them i made the changes to the apn zia win rar install to my epic 4g touch when i rebooted the phone the meassage app itself didnt work so i made a tar of my mms.apk via root explorer extracted mms.apk installed it and was able to receive but still cant receive them dont know what else to do
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
What ROM are you on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
I got the same thing at first but after applying fix I always forget to save apn setting and reboot to make sure it stuck
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
I am on [ALPHA6][ROM] AOSP JellyBean 4.1.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Does everything install fine? Cricket should show up in dropdown menu, APN list, and MMS app with blue icon?
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
yes everthing installed fine but i had to take out the optional folder are my message app didn't work is there a rom that anyone could recommend and cricket dose show up in apn and on the drop down menu
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Here try the apk below. Just replace the apk from the zip in the OP with this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keith134:
I Tryed that when you posted that last reply it made me think that maybe it was my mms.apk but i am still not able to get mms but i can send thanks for the help

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------

OMG it worked i just tired it again and it worked thanks so much

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------

well i can send them and receive them to myself and i am trying to send them but it is taken a long time
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Don't worry it may take some time to go through. I haven't tracked down the cause of this but it could just be the way Cricket handles MMS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclemens:
Just wanted to say this works on an HTC EVO3D with AOKP ROM:good: thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Nice, it's good to know it does work on other phones.

Combo PRL

Hey just did a combo PRL if some one wants to try it out......It is Sprints new PRL for non LTE Phones 61092 and the Cricket 42700.

I joined them with QPST RL EDITER... I flashed it to my phone and it shows up but i don't have service on my epic so can't test it out... but if someone wants to go ahead and let me know what ya think.....(Wife don't like me messing with Her phone even though I'm the one that flashed it :P and she had it for 3 months and all ready trashed the GORILLA glass NUMBER 4 )

I also have the cricket custom one

[Epic 4G Android Development] Slayder1:
Works great on E4GT with Caulkins 0.2.2 ICS roms.....to select APN had to download "APN settings" from play store and create a shortcut.

Edit: Incoming SMS is not working but outgoing is. MMS is working great. Will try another apk

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slayder1:
1-9-13: Tried with Kobridge FL16 JB rom and MMS will send but not receive, APN settings are grayed out in the ROM.

1-10-13: Switched to Re-Caulkins ICS 0.2.2, Everything but incoming SMS worked. Switched out Mms.apk and got it to work through Go SMS app, MMS and SMS worked.

1-11-13: Switched to Jellverse FL16 JB rom and same as the other JB rom, APN settings are grayed out. I can select the APN and will send MMS but not receive. SMS worked fine.

I like how quick the JB are but would like to have MMS. Also finally got GPS that works…will try it for a few days and comment back on GPS. I'm on the FL16 modem/stock kernel.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
What do you mean they are greyed out? You can't access the APN settings menu or the Cricket APNs are greyed out once you access it?

Edit: I think I see the problem. Those ROMs have Touchwiz baked in so this fix won't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
This doesn't work with a tw rom? I did not know that I seen the cm9-10.1 aokp and miui so more or less an AOSP system

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

How about changing build props with to the cricket setting think that might work
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
Correct, all ICS and JB ROMs for the Epic are AOSP and so is this fix. IIRC the Epic didn't have enough onboard memory to fit Touchwiz. I do miss it however but CM has its perks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slayder1:
1-11-13 Switched to ParandoidAndroid 2.57 CM10 with FI25 modem and applied this fix as well the "Alternate carrier data fix" and everything is working great. Satisfied with the rom. Also thanks OP for the update on the Touchwiz Roms, I wish I knew that before hand and THANKS for this fix.

Is there anyway to get MMS working on the Touchwiz based Rom's?

This is on a SPH-D710 E4GT, FYI for others
[Epic 4G Android Development] bthorne79:
Have you tried REMUX that is a CM based rom but with the TW look and feel

Edit: sorry they don't have it for the e4gt
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
I actually may be able to get a working SecMms.apk. With your help I can add support for Touchwiz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Surj138:
The fix works for me on Re-Calked 2.2 and Lightweight 0.5 (FI25 and FI27 based), although I prefer to push everything manually with Root Explorer and set permissions instead of flashing in CWM (I'm just not sure of any extra device-specific tweaks).

The problem is in the apk itself... For some reason it doesn't save a received SMS message on TW without the stock Mms.apk or a 3rd party SMS app.

The workaround that works for me is to apply the fix (replacing the stock apk with the new one as intended), then download GoSMS or Handcent and use that as your default messaging app (I much prefer Go with the free Google UI ICS theme... emulates AOSP nicely without looking cartoony).

That would be AWESOME!! :thumbup:

Trolling from my Cricket-flashed Galaxy S2 E4GT using Tapatalk 2
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slayder1:
That's what I figured, I didn't try a 3rd party app along with the caulkins 0.2.2 and this fix. Like I said everything but incoming SMS worked. Since it was slow for my taste I knew I wasn't going to stay with it.

I really like cm10 Paranoidandoid fast and very responsive with everything functional. Just for fun a ran the Antutu benchmark on Jellyverse vs ParanoidAndroid vs Re-caulkins 0.2.2 and the numbers were JV-10318 vs PA-10318 vs CA-7340.

I'll stick with this rom, thank you for this fix.
