This applies to anyone running Cyanogenmod 10.1 (CM10.1) definitely, and most likely other ROMs such as AOKP, CM9, CM10 etc.

When one flashes a custom ROM, APN settings that are necessary to send/receive MMS are changed, because the default values are for Sprint.

Disclaimer:

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. While this worked fine for me, and you're not messing with anything too important, I am not responsible for anything you may do to your device.

Credit to Andrew Willing in the Ting forums for new method.

1. From the launcher/desktop, Add > Shortcut > Activities > com.android.sprintmenu > MMSC .MMSC

2. Use that shortcut to access your MMS URL. Change it to the correct URL for Ting, http://mms.plspictures.com

5. profit!

A note: stock AOSP messenger does not as of right now have code built in to send MMS over wifi, unlike Touchwiz or other. It might be worth looking into the Gnex or Nexus 4 to see if there's anything there.

Old/complicated:

Requirements:

Root (assuming you're on a custom ROM, this is included)

A root explorer such as ES File Explorer with root explorer enabled in settings

A text editor capable of editing xml such as Jota+

Instructions:

Open Voice Dialer, say "Open APN's"

Check every one for an MMSC of "http://mms.sprintpcs.com"

Change all instances of this to "http://mms.plspictures.com" and save

Select one of the profiles with the correct MMSC in it.

Open your root explorer, navigate to /system/etc and find apns-conf.xml

Copy it to somewhere on your sdcard

Open it and replace all instances of "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" with "http://mms.plspictures.com" and save.

Copy and paste it back into /system/etc, ignoring warnings about overwriting

Reboot

????

Profit

Please let me know if anyone has any problems or if this worked for you.

A note: It might be worthwhile to keep the edited copy of apns-conf.xml you made somewhere on your sd card, as whenever you update your ROM these settings go away. Simply copy and paste the edited file into /system/etc and recheck the other apns you get to from the voice dialer.

Problems

So I was going along following your instructions when at the very end I couldn't save the changes (sprintpcs to plspictures). I have made sure that the file is both view and write, so now I am lost. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eigokyoukan:
What program are you using to edit? Could try another, or just pull the file to PC and push the edited back on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Antitorpiliko:
I am using Jota+ because that was what was recommended on this thread, but I have also used ES File editor and DB editor. As for using the pc, I can't seem to navigate to the folder holding apns-conf.xml so I am lost. My brother is even like "Bro, your phone is a lemon."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tabormeister:
There's actually an updated method, I'll update the OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
I know this is a long shot but would you happen to know how to get metro pcs mms to come through wifi as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tabormeister:
Depends on your phone, but here are the settings for metro, you could use voice dialer, open apns, change all of them to this info then use the desktop shortcut to change to this mmsc. If that doesn't work you could probably use a third party messenger like go sms or handcent and enter custom mms settings there.

MMSC: http://mms.metropcs.net/mmsc

MMS Proxy: wap.metropcs.net

MMS Port: 3128
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
Another option that worked for me was when I was on a TW ROM, I edited the MMSC using the data codes on the dialer. (Ting has a tutorial on how to do it). Tested that MMS was fully working first. I then backed up my APN's using the APN Back up and Restore app available on the play store. I flashed Slimbean and restored my APN's using the same app from the TW ROM. I can confirm receiving and sending MMS is working for me on Slimbean. I don't know if anyone else has done it this way, but it would be good if they can confirm as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Blackjackns:
So I have bought Modern Combat 4, six-guns, gta vice city (i know it's not a gameloft game) and many others. They don't work! I get a black screen with all of them and when it finally crashes it says "unfortunatley blah blah blah has stopped working." Please help me! I am going on a trip and will be on a bus for like 12 hours and need some entertainment! They work on my Nexus 4! I want the big screen though, please if you know how to fix please reply. By the way I have done many factory resets, reinstalled cm 10 multiple times, wiped data, wiped cache ( on tablet and app) and many other things. I have gone into the obb file and it says cannot open as text because of error!

Modern combat 3 and Gangstar Rio work fine on CM 10.1 and it is a great stable rom, not sure about other games you listed but Shadow Gun, NBA Jam and most other games I've tried work fine.

What is dumpstate shell asking super SU request?? I have denied it and since then constantly appearing a dialogue after short intervals, showing 'dumpstate shell has been denied super SU request' something like that. It is happening since I have upgraded to stock ELLC rom today and flashed J-kay deluxe mod v14.9... I am using latest siyah kernel.

I got the same problem too but mine is a bit weird. When it state the dumpstate shell thing, my phone hangs and i can't do anything except to take out my battery and put it back in and on the phone. But it will be okay about 30 seconds after boot. Then it starts again the dumpstate thing then hangs again. Then later i wipe data and reboot my phone but still has that dumpstate shell thing. I'm currently on SensatioN rom on my galaxy S2. Should i change rom to avoid the dumpstate thing?

You have to:

backup all important data

flash TWRP by tonyp

wipe all (data+system)

flash rom

of course if you are on new bootloader. If not, you have to repartition using AIO tool by spyrosk. If you installed buggyDomination rom, you are on OLD bootloader.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vdper:
Well thanks for the reply, but when i try to repartition my device from old layout to new layout it just says "aborted" (I followed all the on-screen steps)

Annnd... drivers (united LG driver and APX driver) are installed right? ;p

[Android Software Development] cybermaus:
If you ever used CWM, CWMT or other non factory recoveries to wipe your data, you probably noticed that you lost the ability to encrypt your phone. Or maybe you did not even realize this is why encryption does not work.

For the Android phone encryption to work, it needs the /data (usrdata) partition to have a little bit of unused space between the end of the filesystem and the end of the partition. And as soon as you use CWM to wipe, it actually reformats using all space, and encryption does not work anymore.

User lolo250612 brought this to my attention, and together we created a update.zip that shrinks the /data filesystem by 1MB

In fact, we created 2 patches: One to shrink, and one to first repair the filesystem. The first will refuse to shrink if the file system is not clean and healthy. They will automatically find the correct usrdata partition device and its size. The shrink will then resize to 1MB less then the partition size (which means it could also be used to grow if you somehow had a filesystem a lot smaller, for example because you restored an smaller image from somewhere).

Both patches are created with statically linked e2fsprogs binaries and its own static copy of busybox shell interpreter. So they should work on all Android devices that use ext file system (probably all V2.3.1 Gingerbread and higher androids), and you should not lose any data because of this. But it is always good to make a backup.

We tested this on 2 phones, both ICS phones, and with both CWM and TWRP type recoveries, and are fairly certain it is safe to use. But to repeat, you should always take a backup of your phone.

Both patches can be found on my shared drive:

ICS_usrdata_fix-fs.zip

ICS_usrdata_shrink.zip

Procedure:

- Make backup of your phone

- Place files on SD card

- Boot into recovery

- Apply the shrink update

- If it tells you the filesystem is damaged apply the fix-fs update first

The patch only shrinks the filesystem, nothing is actually installed or removed on the phone. But if you use encryption, you could leave this patch on your SD card so that every time you wipe data, you can run the shrink patch again afterward to enable encryption again.

If you do use this, please report back in this thread, possibly mentioning your phone model and ROM you are using.

Thanks lolo

I'm trying to use this on my VZW Galaxy S3 16Gb and this is what I'm seeing in TWRP v2.2.0:

edit: The same thing happens with both scripts.

I need to enable device encryption because my employer requires it for email and other Google Apps for Business apps. Thank you for your help!
[Android Software Development] echoedge:
Anyone know why full disk encryption isn't available on some (if not most roms)? Is it something that needs to be added with intent aside in the building process, or dependent on how the stock rom was set-up to work with?

I was hoping this would help get encryption working on an EVO ics rom which has encryption available, but when you click "encrypt phone" it just hangs on an android screen and doesn't actually do anything.
[Android Software Development] toxic-hero:
i was really happy to find your solution to enable encryption on my HTC desire S (ICS, rooted), but unfotunately it doesn't work. the same thing happen to me as it happened to mushu13, only different numbers in lines 5 and 6. same result whichever script i choose. please help, i really need system encryption.

thanky you very much!
[Android Software Development] lolo250612:
First thing you should know, I am not an Android Guru. And unfortunately, if your phone is not an A789, I won't be able to help you deep in technical details. Cybermaus is the most skilled of the two of us, technically speaking, and he may lack time to answer correctly every request he is regurlarly faced with.

Okay, I do not know your phones and don't own them. So, distant debugging is much harder in these conditions. But the first things you should check, before applying Cybermaus' patches, are :

1) if encryption works with stock rom

2) follow thoroughly all steps I described in "Second step: offline protection" of the second post of this thread :

- your phone or tablet internal storage partitions must be seen by your system as block devices. This is the case with eMMC but not with Yaffs. If you don't have this information from the manufacturer, install Terminal Emulator from the Play Store and type 'mount' in it. You should see lines beginning with /emmc@cache and /emmc@data. If this is not the case, I fear encryption won't be able to work on your device.

- use aLogcat to track down the origin of the failure (see resources on the internet to learn how to use it, and links I have put in the second post)

3) Be sure that required modules are built into the kernel you use, especially dm-crypt

4) Post your results and cross your fingers that either this is a problem I have already encountered (in this case I may help you further), or Cybermaus see your posts.
[Android Software Development] bendodge:
While this script did allow me to encrypt my phone, it also shrunk my /data partition to roughly 1.1 GB.

Any ideas on how to expand it back to a reasonable size? I supposedly have 4 GB of ROM, and I assume more than 1 GB ought to be available for data.
[Android Software Development] papperlapapp:
Thank you for your nice guide.

Only one thing is missing: baseband security.

Attacks on the baseband system requires very skilled people. Such as government agencies. It is believed they use baseband attacks to break into almost every mobile device. And there is only little you can do. Some vendors like Cryptophone have mobile devices with a hardened Android system. All others have no way to protect their device against baseband attacks.
[Android Software Development] shivalwolf:
Is this patch and reasoning still valid for newer android releases.

I am running a custom kitkat rom and twrp on a note 3 and can't encrypt so im looking for a fix.

I have been looking around for fixes but different posts blame different things.

Sometimes its the fact its a custom recovery, sometimes its that root is on the device and then there is this reasoning

Is there a way to find out the cause and fix for kitkat?

[MENTION=1397500]cybermaus[/MENTION]: just tried flashing the two *.zips on my Galaxy S 4 Mini running CM 12 (Android Lollipop) because my logcat tells me I'm getting the described cryptfs error. It seems my /data partition doesn't have that 1 MB of unused space needed for encryption. Now I would love to encrypt my phone using CM's integrated function without having to completely format the internal storage (because that's the other workaround I found: flash

stock

rom, wipe data (factory reset), flash Custom Recovery, flash CM again)

Do you have the time and device to update your script so it works with Android Lollipop as well? I see a lot of people come across this issue recently so there would be definetly use for such a nice script like yours!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidshadow:
Hello xda-developers!

Well here is my situation. I just got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 about 1 week ago (Southern California, USA) and the first thing I did was root the device so that I could enable all features and do things like install linux/busybox.

Okay so just the other day i was looking at my notifications and it said that there was a software update. I figured that this was probably samsung's official jelly bean and i was excited to update so I downloaded the software it was around 330MB's. After the download it asked me if i wanted to install now or install later and i choose now and afterwards the device rebooted and it booted into CMW-Recovery and i got this error.

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Now i heard that i am getting this error because this "software update" is not "officially" signed by Samsung. I don't know if that is true or not...

So i have a couple of questions...

One, is this update for jelly bean?

Two, how can i go about updating to jelly bean?

Three. is my rooted status blocking this update?

Four, is it possible to root the device after the jelly bean update?

If anyone can assist me with this error that I am getting I would really really appreciate it. I am not sure where to go from here.

I thank you all for your time and assistance.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidshadow:
which option do you guys/gals think is better?

Okay so i have been doing a bit of research on this forum and what I have learned is that since I rooted my galaxy tab 2 10.1 which is running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4 ICS) that I can not update Samsung's official jelly bean update.

Is this true?

If it is true...it seems I have a few options.

One of the options that I have is that I can install a custom Jelly Bean Rom using Clock Work Mod Recovery or Samsung Kies. However, I am not sure which rom to use, and I have heard that using a custom rom you can run into issues when upgrading the Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 to Jelly Bean, one of the issues being that "sound" will not work. Is this true?

Okay second thing that I am wondering is do you think if i booted into Clock Work Mod Recovery and choose the option to restore my galaxy tab

to stock firmware (a factory reset) then could i use the software update option to upgrade to Samsung's official Jelly Bean update and then root it after my tablet has been updated to Jelly Bean?

Which option do you think would be better?

Also can anyone possibly provide a tutorial on how to upgrade jelly bean with the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113 so that I can take

a look, I am not sure how to update it.

I would love to find a tutorial for using either CWM or Samsung Kies.

I thank you all for your time and help...
