Get MMS to send!!!!

After several days and trying lots of different things, I finally got MMS to send!!! You have to use GO SMS Pro though. It seems that the APN settings don't have the info for the MMS to send, and you can't add a new apn or edit the existing one:

So here's what I did to get MMS sending:

1) Download and install Go SMS Pro from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms&hl=en

2)Using a file explorer, go to root/system/etc and change all the mmsc lines in the apns-conf.xml file to this, where the red box is your number with area code, don't need the 1 in front of it. Make sure to save changes.:

mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=5555555555"

where the 5555555555 is your phone number

3)Reboot phone

4)Disable notifications from the stock messaging app

5)Open Go SMS Pro, then go to settings, advanced, mms settings

6)Under APN Configuration, check the box and enter this info into the MMSC box:

http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

Leave the proxy box empty

Next enter this into the MMS port box:

80

7)Reboot phone and profit. After you reboot, the APN settings in Go SMS Pro should look like this, with the info in the red box matching the line you edited in the apns-conf.xml:

Now you should be able to send MMS using Go SMS Pro!!!! Also double check that the port is set to 80.

Good luck and hope this helps!!!!!!!!!

Does this add a new signal indicator or just properly display in the current broken indicator?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You could do this and also use your stock messaging app. This is a known solution for a LOT of ports
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
I installed it to check it out and it adds the decibels to the left of the status bar. By example, mine shows -81 at home, which is the LTE signal strength i'm getting.

By the way, i installed the free version just to see if it worked as advertised.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
It won't send with stock messaging app for some people. Even after editing the apns-conf.xml it still wouldn't send, and you can't edit the APN settings in the system settings or in the stock messaging app in this ROM.

Your the man Bro Thanks

I restored just fined using phils recovery. Usually you have to use the same recovery and version of that recovery to restore a back up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
I just switched from a 32->64gb Sandisk SDcard... so I'm not sure if this is a card issue or a ROM issue ... (or normal?).... card was formatted in the phone itself

Every since using the new card - my battery life has gone down to a few hours... Under BATTERY in settings, the MEDIA app is sucking 50-63% of my power... included packages are download manager, drm content storage, download, media storage and com.sec.android.providers.downloads.

I'm not even sure if i have a legit question... but it doesn't make much sense to me... As I'm not downloading, nor to I really have any mp3 or DRM content on the card...

Also I noticed with the new SDcard that I cannot mount it in CWM... which really sucks as there might be a present tonight in 9z-3... thoughts?

thanks!

It wasn't working on the stock messing apk when we did this while using devil kernel

Pull your battery and reboot then reset your battery stats using calibration app in play store. It worked for me I was getting unusual Barrett drain from android op system

Sending mms with Go sms works for me. Thank you!

Skynote N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
Also make sure the port in go sms settings is set to 80. Mine changed and just had to change it back to 80.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] real0325:
Add (viper sound mod) its pretty simple and complex, if you want it that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Ok eveyone hold tight because I think this ROM is getting better by the day. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
That's why I don't cracked flash anymore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
That's great news, and you guys already have rocked it on this one. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I will add the option for VIPER in R9Z-4 :)

Ill be posting a link to R9Z-3 Here in a few. its uploading now.

I can flash that dirty over last build right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
stvn has rocked it :) He makes a great Miagi ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
devil kernel ;

Devil2-t0lte-DUAL-1.0.4_20131115
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
We keep making it better! :) I didn't do it alone either , everyone that has helped with this Port has helped us get where we are now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
You can , but I would suggest a clean flash so you can customize it ;)

Also a dirty flash may cause SD card to mount incorrectly on boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Alright I'll flash the new build in a couple of days I just got use to this build with all the customizations I did through xposed so I need a rest, will you post a change log with aroma options in the op with this new build? No boggy just wondering
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
Trying to install with aroma, I go through the options but it never starts installing, just sits at 0.00

Been trying different combinations and I guess it was my original 'cocktail' of settings.

Now it's stuck on boot animation. Fiddlesticks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
I was given a project this afternoon from stvn1337 to try and fix pagebuddy....could someone please try this for me ;) PS I except Scoobysnacks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Daciple:
Just caught eye that the 4.3 update just dropped a few hours ago. Was in Arizona, breaking down Knox will be another job. I'm running with Scooby still in the meantime, has put in allot of work. Much appreciated!

Sent from my Note II using SkyNote!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
I clicked on your link for the DL and it doesn't bring me to anything to download sir?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
Does the new build fix the mms issue? And what mods are included and which mods need to be flashed? I see that we need to flash the settings fix, but do we need to flash the mms mod after install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
It's working here on my end....hmmm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
It downloaded for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
I think he might have pulled it bc I was almost done with the download and got a failed download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Hmm OK well I'm sorry, when I clicked on it it took me to like some files and an apk but none of it was a link you could click on I'm sorry I'll try again the...must be the operator on my end loln
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
I had it on Google drive but it was acting weird so I switched to mediafire.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
If you use the "experimental features" mod you may luck up and have mms fixed. ;) I'm working on it. And the mods (other than the experimental ) are the nods for the OP. Devil kernel is also in the AROMA. You don't need to flash the settings patch. I Slipstreamed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
Sounds good. Idk if you saw the temp fix i made to make mms send using go sms pro. Should be on page 113. Might be helpful in future fixes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
I guess I'm the only one having aroma issues..? Using philz BTW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I found out what was causing my inability to send MMS I don't know if you saw my post but the mms issue for me was caused by Devil2 kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Has anyone else flashed R9Z-3 aroma?

Can you verify the MD5 for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
lacoursiere18, you , and me are all working toward fixing page buddy so I'm sure we will figure it out soon ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Numzi:
I have about 10 minutes left on my download. I'll flash it and check for you. Could you tell me exactly how to check the MD5 again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Dos it not work for you? I fixed mine I'll have to do the data file then also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
From your phone you can use an app like this.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hobbyone.HashDroid and 7 zip can also check it on your pc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
You can do this using es file explorer. Long press the file click more then properties then show check sum then highlight md5 the click calculate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I haven't tried it on R9Z-3 yet. Have you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I haven't flashed it but my md5 checked out the same as posted in the op
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
See it's working for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
What build are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Okay, let me know if it gives you any trouble..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Wasn't planning on flashing tonight. Gonna flash it after the Lions game tomorrow. You'll probably know what you want by then but will do anyway

Failed install. Frozen at 0.00% install

Battery pulled and tried to reboot hoping the installation took and aroma might have frozen and It was a soft brick no boot animation.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
I will randomly get the log to show after several attempts, but it always says 0.00. It'll 'finish' but on reboot I get stuck at boot ani .left it for about 15 minutes, and no change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Numzi:
The md5 matches and it installed fine! I'm testing it out now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Signal bars?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
My problems with aroma could they have to do with experimental features?

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Did you choose experimental features in aroma?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] norm883:
Version 3

Everything went fine.

Beautiful interface while loading the ROM.

Remember about the WIfi in Odin.

Was that in the ROM? If so I did not see it.

All seems fine just need to setup and find out.

Very nice work.

Thanks,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
No because my R9z is 98% working for me now. I need to add the weather widget back and fix signal bars.

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

I rebuilt R9z_2 I have everything except my weather widget which I'll get pit back in and signal bars. Ok I cannot post a pic :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
Tried without experimental features.. still endless boot ani
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Idk for some is working and like us it doesn't I think they're cooking something else up anyways so I'm in wait and watch mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
I have been using RC9Z -2 for days now. Flashed kernal to fix wifi and superSU for root and is working like a champ.. if im not having any issues at all should I flash new RC9Z-3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Thank you man. Greatly appreciate that. If you can get sms working, can you do that mmsc line change that you have to do for like moon rom and those to get mms working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
No the add slide does not work it completely breaks sms/mms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Oh OK, do you know what i mean by the changing the mmsc lines through es or toolbox? I'm sure you do, I'm just making sure I'm on the same page as you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
wish I could help!

Thanks for working on this you guys. I'm ready to test it out with my Gear as soon as SMS is up and running. I can live w/ FCs here and there, but SMS a must-have.

Thanks again.

Maybe I could look through the Verizon S4 4.3 rom files for hints about APN settings, etc. to get SMS working ? ... If anyone wants.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wurgy:
Played with it here this afternoon and looking awesome. Can't wait for sms, ready for a new daily
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
SMS is not controlled by APN only MMS is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrownla:
Gotcha, but if there are any other kind of monotonous tasks I can help with (e.g., comparing what's in the S4 system files to what's in, say, the AT&T or Sprint Note 2 files) I'm happy to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I'm thinking about building a version that uses supersu as the default root. Maybe this will fix the root break.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Figuring out which configuration causes an SMS to send via GSM or CDMA signal would be a good start. Verizon tech informed me that they do have SMS over IMS now.. Not sure why it doesn't work.

Has anyone tried to install the Verizon messenger app yet and see if SMS works? This has solved the issues in other Roms I've used in the past.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.verizon.messaging.vzmsgs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Yes I have tried almost every messenger in the play store.

What about another messaging app from another verizon tw rom? Ill get one an try myself if I can find one...will let u all know

Has anyone tried programming the sms center number for Verizon into the messaging app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donbudafuko:
How do I do it an ill try too...im board lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Yes have tried many times and it always goes back to the original.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheLoonyRebel:
I'm thinking at this point since we're very close to the Verizon release of 4.3 hitting we should be able to grab whatever is needed to get SMS/MMS working on this ROM along with getting data more stabilized (ie: turning on right away without the airplane mode trick).

I might no longer own an Note 2 but I'll still keep up with progress on this port. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
That's coming black Friday right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheLoonyRebel:
According to Samsung yes. But plans can change so I wouldn't hold you breath until it's out for real.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
I just flashed the pagebuddy. The page comes up but it's blank.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
You can if your curious just make a nandroid. I use phils recovery with selinux enabled for restoring touchwiz 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
You need to add your apps to it...it also works with your headphones.

Tried flahing r3 clean install with philz touch with 3 different combinations of options for install, all ending with the dreaded infinite boot ani. I restored an old backup, I hope it was just a bad download but I think ill wait to see how this pans out with everyone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
How do you enable selinux in philz recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adrioid:
I noticed if you choose Devil kernel, you get stuck in the endless boot animation. When I choose stock kernel it boots into setup after a few minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:

No no signal bars yet. .

No signal bars but I'm using phone signal notifier just fine and dandy. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.daraesoft.phonesignalnotifier
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adrioid:
I have signal bars. I didn't install any mods in aroma. I chose all stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
It's not a bad install I just figured it out. It bootlooped when I chose devil kernel in aroma but I battery pulled then wiped dalvik and cache then flashed stock kernel and it booted. Then I logged in and flashed devil and profit this is some sweet inverted stufffff

Launcher is kinda off. Air command works just not like it should, it shows the options for air command in text only but the option wheel is invisible

I have signal bars but what is all this horrible theming??? It looks like MotoBlur. Awful!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
What horrible theming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
My icons and UI look like MotoBlur!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I don't like the stock mms icon but I don't use it anymore, but then again I don't like anything red lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Its everything. UI wide. Pop up dialog box, status bar/notifications, everything. Nowhere does it say it has these hideous changes!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
You can flash a theme or jump back to z2 they'll adjust things I'm sure this is all alpha builds I would suspect that stvn was just trying to give us a little different feel to go with the new build and focused more on the mechanics. Not everyone can like every style.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Lol this is a DRASTIC change. A heads up would've been nice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Numzi:
Yeah I did. I have them on right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I take it you figured out that devil kernel was causing a problem in aroma? Glad you got it running
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I will add an option to use the stock theme into aroma. As like it was mentioned earlier this is the ALPHA Aroma build. Now that I'm more comfortable with Aroma I can add more features and choices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
Thanks for taking time out of your life to give us this FREE Rom. Also for taking more time to give us a choice of a stock looking theme for FREE. Blows my mind that people feel they have the right to complain about something that is given to them for FREE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
You're doing a great job on this ROM. I'd appreciate a stock touch wiz option in the install. (Guess I'm crazy and like touch wiz lol) Everything seems and feels solid. Did you make any customizations for the battery? I'm having the best battery life than I ever have with any other ROM! Keep up the good work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
This is the proper way to ask for something when you're getting it for FREE. Hey Joe take notes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
Someone mentioned themes.. are these available for tw4. 3 or is wanam the best option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Daciple:
Wanam does good job for theme & quicker. Add unicon for xposed to theme all icons in Touchwiz for more flavor. Once more stable, I think I will make a more extensive public theme for this Rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Im going to make the stock theme the default choice in AROMA on the next build (which is close ),

I have also added Vipermod Audio as an option.

And it does have some tweaks to help with battery but for the most part, Android 4.3 just handles its processes a lot better than 4.1.2 ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
All is looking great on the Aroma install. Many thanks! Flashed air command, and this thing is pretty awesome! Got signal bars as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I just noticed the Air command bug, I believe the theme may have broken it. Im reverting the theme to stock now.

Are u on 4G or 3G when u have bars because I have noticed wen I'm on 3G I'll have bars but I'm not on 3G often ....I just found that out just to let pal know.

Im not sure what causes this to happen sometimes, look in your screenshots though, it should have saved even though its giving you that error.

Yup they are there. Weird. But idk why Instagram is FC'ing. I noticed it last night on RC9Z-2 and figured it would stop with RC9Z-3.
