Wifi handoff and mms able to receive only workaround

I really enjoy this ROM and was looking forward to using it but with the issues it still has I was going to hold off but.... I found a work around for the WIFI to cell handoff (not airplane mode) while trying to find a way to get MMS to work (this also improved MMS a little, I am able to recieve and download them now but sending is still not working). In my research I found that the file /system/etc/apns-conf.xml is responsible for setting the proper apn. I also noticed that people on the new CM 10.2 M1 snapshot were not having issues with WIFI handoff or MMS that I know of, so I compared the apns-conf.xml files from our latest build and the CM snapshot. I found that their layout was different but info pretty well the same and something was was working for CM users and not us. I decided to replace our apns-conf.xml with the one from the CM snapshot... stay with me for a minute. :p I also found that a lot of android users in general had success fixing general MMS issues by deleting telephony.db and its journal from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases (it regenerates on reboot). Now to the good stuff! :D I modified the Xenon flash-able zip and replaced the apns-conf.xml file as stated and repackaged the zip (I believe this can be done after install as long as the permissions are set correctly). It booted properly and connected to 4G no problem. I did the initial setup and connected to WIFI, then tried to send an MMS. I received a failed message (invalid address). So I proceeded to delete the telephony.db and its journal and rebooted. The apns show correctly on the apn setting screen now. I then again tried to send a MMS, this time it is stuck sending (I have not tried gosms or handsent yet just stock). I sent myself a MMS through email (***@vzwpix.com) and was able to receive and download the message. I also found upon disconnect from WIFI the handoff was flawless!!! Here is a link for the apns-conf.xml file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hej6jvo9zcj2krq/apns-conf.xml

Update: After a little more testing MMS doesn't stick around, it stops working again but the handoff is still flawless.

New Update: I have MMS fully working on my phone (hopefully works for you too).

In addition to the above I took the mms.apk from the CM snapshot located at /system/app and replaced the mms.apk in our ROM also at /system/app and made sure the permissions were correct then rebooted. So far MMS has been working flawless for me, I have been using it for about an hour and a half and I am able to receive and send without an issue. I will update after a few more hours of testing. I am also going to try my hand at bluetooth.

Here is a link to the MMS.apk: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a6ofrbxhmqch0s5/Mms.apk
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
It appears as though the apk and config XML correlate together to fix the MMS issue. I've replaced the MMS apk and deleted the telephony files and i have gotten no positive results.
[RAZR HD Android Development] jorham:
Did you also replace the APN XML file? I replaced the XML config first and rebooted, deleted the telephony db and its journal and rebooted again, and last replaced the MMS apk and one more reboot. The reboots may have been overkill and I didn't copy the MMS apk till this morning. I have been running it for about five hours and still no problems. I just have the Bluetooth left. If you replaced the APN XML do the apns show up in the settings list correctly now?
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
What I wound up doing is replacing the APN XML and MMS apk in the update zipfile and reflashed. On the first boot I deleted the telephony files and reinstalled the MMS apk again. On the next reboot I got a few of the back MMS messages people sent me. However I am still unable to send a media message, tested by trying to send myself 2 different pictures.
[RAZR HD Android Development] jorham:
In my trial and error of trying to get mine working I also got a point where I would get the back messages on reboot then nothing again. I think this may come down to the right order of things and maybe a little bit of time for the rom to settle after first boot. Everybody's device is different also. Have you tested the WIFI handoff yet, do you get signal back right away when you disconnect? What I would do is start by replacing just the apn config file in the zip and keep the original mms apk. Do a clean wipe (everthing three times), and then reflash. Do the setup and let the rom settle for 15 minutes or so then reboot again and delete the telephony db and make sure to get the journal too that is a backup for it. Then reboot again and check the apn settings menu to make sure they all show up and that you are on verizon internet. If that is all good replace the mms apk and give it another reboot. From my understanding of the telephony db deleting it forces a rebuild of the apn list that it has stored. This workaround I found for me may possibly not work for everyone also. If that doesnt work for you if you would like we could hop on gtalk or the like and see if we cant find a different order of operations for you I will pm you my gmail.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
Thanks for the offer, but it appears I have it working now. Had to completely wipe out any trace of the previous OS install of Xenon. Complete internal memory and system wipe. WiFi handoff and MMS seem to be working flawlessly now.
[RAZR HD Android Development] mza929:
perhaps I am using the wrong gapps but my keyboard app keeps getting FC'd every time.
[RAZR HD Android Development] PUERTO_RUK:
when you say internal memory, are you referring to the system or internal SD cars? If I have to wipe my internal SD card flashing this just isn't worth it. This is the only Rom I come back to but lately it seems to be more of a hassle to get things working right. Until I I get a new device this is it.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
Idid mean everything not on my external SD. Though I had a few things pretty odd from a couple experiments and was due for a full wipe anyways. You can probably get away with just a reflash following said procedure of replacing the APN XML in the zip file before flashing, and then deleting the telephony files and replacing the MMS apk.
[RAZR HD Android Development] PUERTO_RUK:
Making sure I'm following you correctly. You had to wipe your system (no big deal) AND INTERNAL SD?? Damn.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
Yep though as I said, I had some things pretty jacked up from screwing around. I had everything backed up anyways so it wasn't like I was losing anything
[RAZR HD Android Development] PUERTO_RUK:
Looks like I may have to do the same. I'm overdue on backing up my files anyway. And the clean wipe was a no frills fix for you
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
After having tried multiple times to get things working , a clean wipe seemed to do the trick on the first shot.
[RAZR HD Android Development] PUERTO_RUK:
Thanks brotha.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
No problem.

New bug found. It seems as though the battery percentage may be reporting incorrectly. To check I was fully booted reporting 29%, then I went into recovery reboot and the battery was reported at 8%.
[RAZR HD Android Development] PUERTO_RUK:
Man, something new around every corner. Although I don't have much room to complain being that I'm not the one taking my time and developing this for everyone's use. Hats off to the Xenon team for your hard work. This ROM makes this phone somewhat bearable to tolerate.

Cant get past bootloader unlock screen *on 2nd boot

Strangest thing keeps happening to me when i install this rom. I did a full wipe, installed rom and (correct) gapps... booted into phone set up, set everything up. Downloaded all my old apps. Everything was great! Then i decided to do a reboot and got stuck at the bootloader unlock screen.

So i went into recovery and fixed permissions... tried to reboot and got stuck at the bootloader unlock screen. Tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot; got stuck at the bootloader unlock screen again. THEN - i decided to data format and start from scratch and pretty much the same thing happened again. First boot was fine.... everything worked. Attempted reboot and, you guessed, I got stuck at the bootloader unlock screen.

Anyone have a suggestion? I even tried CM 10.2 M1 and the same thing happened on my 2nd boot (and 3 4 5th boot too).
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
How long did you sit at the bootloader unlock screen? Have you tried other 4.3 ROMs without issue? What recovery are you using? Our ability to analize is only as comprehensive as the details we have to work with

Update: my mms has stopped working again. Checked my logcat using a on phone reader and noticed it keeps getting told there is no data network or that MMS is not available. I'll try to get more detailed info when I'm at a computer, but I did not notice any issues with MMS until I started to customize settings. If I have time I might be able to go and clean the phone again and go change by change in the settings to see if it is something in there effecting it. As of the moment I have been unable to get back mms

Update 2: for some reason right at 7:13 am eastern my MMS decided to work. At that point I hasn't changed anything for a couple hours and had been testing intermittently with no success. My local hadn't changed at that point either. Any ideas?
[RAZR HD Android Development] RikRong:
Try using the latest TWRP and also try mounting system prior to wiping system/data. I was having 4.3 issues before I upgraded to TWRP 2.6.3.0 and started mounting prior to wiping system/data.
[RAZR HD Android Development] mza929:
This is good info thank you... I had a hunch that was it.

Can someone dropbox me 2.6.3.0? I cant seem to find a working link for the Razr HD.
[RAZR HD Android Development] shogan454:
Anybody have any luck getting bluetooth to work?
[RAZR HD Android Development] jorham:
Not yet. Still trying though
[RAZR HD Android Development] RikRong:
There should be a working TWRP in the Development section.

[MENTION=5059921]pcarenza[/MENTION] any chance u can bring this ROM to the MB886
[RAZR HD Android Development] Byakko Custom:
It's already for the Atrix HD.

It'd be nice if they could just change the model name for it to MB886. (Shows as 'Atrix HD' in settings.)

Look for 'dinara' in there e downloads page, and download the bottom build. (IIRC it's 01-11-2013 [DD/MM/YYYY])

[EDIT]

I read your signature as what I edited it to above... I swear my eyes are playing with me sometimes...

Fun Fact:

Gestures Anywhere doesn't work; Specifically, adding any gestures.

Then again, its experimental so its a start.

Also:

As convenient as it is to have two, I'm not sure its necessary. ;P

Lol that annoys me to no end. Also why can't I set a quick tile to expanded desktop?

I was told that you can back up your apps, then do a factory reset. That will get your gestures stuff working...then restore your apps back

Hi there - can anyone tell me if MMS works on the latest build?
[RAZR HD Android Development] DrunkenFerret:
With a bit of finesse you can get MMS working. There is essentially a tutorial a couple pages back
[RAZR HD Android Development] brekem:
only rom that i have tested at the moment that at least get the signal of my 4g thanks... btw i have to call to get internet is this normal? it happens to me since i unlock the bootloader even with stock roms help? xt925 with the 4.2.2 update
[RAZR HD Android Development] raymondrbowman:
Call to get internet? Are you talking about calling *#*#4636#*#*? How often? Mine will change settings on it's own every once in a while, but not enough to bother me.
[RAZR HD Android Development] GrimV2:
Switched over from PACman to this and I have no regrets. Most stable rom running 4.3 I've come across so far. This rom is great, keep up the good work!
[RAZR HD Android Development] brekem:
I have to call any random number to get carrier internet and no getting apns in cm 10.2
[RAZR HD Android Development] GrimV2:
I am also having mobile network issues. My LTE and 3g rarely work and I usually have to reboot once or twice to get it to work. Also, my network mode changes on its own. Another big problem is that I can no longer type in people's names with the dialer to have their number and name pop up right above the dialer. Otherwise, perfect rom.

Any progress on getting blue tooth to work? I wish I had some skill to solve this myself, but alas, I must rely on the community....

Is anyone else having trouble sending and receiving MMS on these 4.2.2 roms? Mine sends once in a blue moon, but most of the time it's just sitting there in an infinite send loop. On Verizon. I've tried Go SMS, APN backup and restore, etc to no avail. Any other ideas would be really helpful.
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
Well I only get some force closes on this xenon ROM for whatever reason. And I fixed permissions on recovery too. Other 4.2 ROMs I don't have mms problems. It used to be a problem at one point but ever since unlocked loaders it's been cool.

And I'm guessing those updates are only related to those APN for t mobile and at$t? There's two other version 5/13 and 5/14. I'm on the 5/8 one
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Try downloading the 5/14 version and see what you think, coolbird.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
No problems on MMS here, as you can see...
[RAZR HD Android Development] hickmanje2:
Yeah I think my second flash back to 4.1.2 Stock System, Kernel, and Radio and then clean install of XenonHD did the trick. Glad to have that over with. Fingers crossed.

Already installed rom, at the time I posted I dont think the second post was totally done, or I missed that!
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
If anyone runs into data problems with the latest build (5/14) please let me know!

EDIT: Thought so - there were some issues with data in the latest build. I have removed it from our download site... please use 5/13 as of now. Also, An Atrix HD user DM'ed me and said it worked pretty well on the Atrix HD, if anyone else wants to try it out, feel free... I'm implementing that eventually as mb886.
[RAZR HD Android Development] coolbird:
Hey, thank you very much for taking the effort to fix this issue. I installed this new version, and unfortunately it is still not working. Here are what I found:

The Phone app force closed on me when I tried to make a phone call or receive one. One thing I noticed was the triangle signal strength indicator on the top status bar, when the phone just boots up, there is a little "R" showing up by the side of the indicator, after a little bit, the "R" goes away, and the triangle indicator becomes a hollow one, after that it turns grey. Before I thought the grey means I am getting full bar, that is actually wrong. For this version, I found that right after the phone app force closes, the indicator briefly shows real full bar, then the "R" shows up and goes away, then the indicator turns grey again.

Can you please share what changes did you implement in this version?

Thanks a lot!
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
That sounds like a dirty flash if you asked me. But your not, Lol, but I'm answering. And you should try just wiping dalvik first and cache just so you don't have to redo your phone again. If that's not working, wipe the basics and start clean. Sometimes I personally wipe the dalvik , system, cache, and factory rest a couple times just to make sure it's clean.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
No, 5/14 was definitely buggy... I pulled it from the Goo.
[RAZR HD Android Development] coolbird:
I had tried 3 different 4.2.2 ASOP ROMs, and all of them have the same problem. I don't know if it is the kernel, build.prop, some config files, or radio problem. I actually tried to flash the radio from 4.1.2 ROM, but the phone wouldn't boot. Anyway, Thanks again for your efforts, pcarenza

Update: I flashed the GSM version of PAC MAN 4.2.2, and it works on my XT926. I can make/receive phone call, the Mobile internet works too. But the phone number is still shown "Unknown", I think I can live with that. Maybe this info can give you direction on how to fix the issue in this CDMA version ROM.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
There are some cdma-specific build.prop settings that fix this issue - they're included with this ROM. In fact, my phone's phone number shows up in settings, and MMS/phone/data works incredibly well with a quick LTE lock.

GSMs on the other hand, are giving me different sets of issues. There are different build.prop settings that resolve those network issues.

Are you not on a VzW network? I mean, to be honest, as soon as I'm off my VzW contract, I'm headed to t mobile and getting a Nexus 4 :)
[RAZR HD Android Development] coolbird:
Well, this is kind of my toy phone :) I used to be on pageplus, but I have a T-Mobile prepaid sim lying around, and I am using it recently ...
[RAZR HD Android Development] joshua_helm:
Just flashed this ROM! Love it!!! Super fast and stable! I'm using the 4.2 stock launcher and this thing screams... Thanks so much!

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Quick question!... If I'm running the 5/08 ver. What's the best way to flash 5/13? Do I have to wipe and reset or can I flash on top?
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
If yosu're on the same ROM - most people just wipe dalvik and cache then flash.... this ROM automatically wipes system before flashing.
[RAZR HD Android Development] DroidOnRoids:
Unlocked and rooted my Razr yesterday and this is the first ROM I slapped on and I am impressed! Thanks!
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tha Maxx:
Just wait.... We only get better!!!! ;);)
[RAZR HD Android Development] HoochieCoo:
This is solid. Switched from the AOKP build since it lost support. Well put together.

Small things: when expanded desktop is enabled, the status bar will randomly resize as if it's restarting or something. Not a biggie. Also, if navigation bar toggle is enabled in the power menu, the toggle state is sometimes "off". It will show enabled when it's not or vice versa.

Overall, nice job. Thanks.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
Update: Tethering is now working in the latest update!

The build frequency will slow as the versions get more stable, to align with the overall XenonHD timeline.

We hope you're enjoying this ROM and will do what we can to make this the best one you've ever tried!
[RAZR HD Android Development] jldr:
Is there a fix on the way for USB connections?
[RAZR HD Android Development] lesdense:
I've been running XenonHD for the past five days. Just flashed the latest version today. Mostly, it's excellent -- stable, smooth and fast as claimed. But I'm having persistent problems with signal strength and with data speeds. It's not that I can't GET data, it's that my signal strength is measurably less now than it was with a stock ROM in places where I know how strong my signal should be, I almost never get an indication that I'm connecting at 4G speeds even in places where I used to maintain 4G and my data reception is spotty to the point that web sites and Play Store come back "no signal" now in places where they never did before. From these comparisons I believe I know that the issue ISN'T that my connection is the same but the indicators are different but rather that my connections (reception, data speed, 3G vs 4G) are worse than they were.

I wiped EVERYTHING before flashing this ROM and wiped Dalvik and cache again after flashing. Flashing went smoothly. In fact, just about everything goes smoothly :) The ROM is wonderful in countless ways. Data speed deficiencies are a problem, though, at least for me. Are there settings in the ROM that could improve my data speed and connectivity? Is there a patch or an app that will at least get me back to the level of connection performance that I had on stock? If so, I'll be happy to use XenonHD as my DD.
[RAZR HD Android Development] hickmanje2:
I've tried a few 4.2 roms so far and that seems to be a consistent theme for all of them. My data signal is never as strong as it was on the stock rom. No fixes or patches that I know of so far, but to be fair it never really has impeded me thus far.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Vnvjeep:
I have also noticed this behavior... especially when it comes to the 4G signal. The wifi signal has been pretty good/stable thusfar... I'm just wondering if it's a false positive... ie. just displaying it incorrectly, eventhough it's really getting the same amount of signal strengh as it was on stock? I haven't had much of a problem with signal dropping, or a lack of speed eventhough it is showing only 1 bar. To me, it seems pretty consistent that it is always showing about 2 bars less than what it normally did on stock.

Thanks,

-Mike

Exchange contacts?

Hmmm... just noticed. My Exchange contacts aren't synching. I've tried from 5 different Exchange accounts ranging from Exchange Server 2010, 2007, 2003 and live.edu (outlook.com). Can anyone duplicate? Started from scratch on this thing... same issue. Cleared cache/data, no dice.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tweaken:
I see "Added 720p recording support for video camera." in the OP. Could this be the only 4.2 ROM that supports video recording? If so, I'll be unlocking my bootloader and flashing immediately!
[RAZR HD Android Development] hickmanje2:
That's the changelog for the official XenonHD rom. It does not work on this rom yet. XT925 and XT926 4.2 video recording most likely won't come about until we get a custom kernel.
[RAZR HD Android Development] iceandfire:
This ROM is built from official XenonHD source. All the features listed will only work if your device supports them. However that maybe. (Custom kernel, etc)

[RAZR HD Android Development] DroidOnRoids:
Is anyone experiencing SOD's and hot boots? I'm using stock kernel but changed the governor to Interactive from OnDemand so maybe that's the reason.
[RAZR HD Android Development] pcarenza:
I have been getting a few hot boots... that's on my list, though I also get them from time to time in the Nexus 7 version as well. The problem with these is that you can't do much more than send along a last_kmsg to diagnose.
