I've already got that program and I also have root explorer and Android Commander - All tools that will allow me to change system files.

Doesn't seem to matter though.. Still won't let me send more than 300k and received mms are still ridonkulously blurry. Like the patch didn't take.

We need to modify the system.bin BEFORE flashing it. That's going to be the only way.

Tested MooMoo Froyostone3.2 with Hastrain kernel with 3.14ROM and Radio2.15. Experienced massive data freezes (Not drops). Nothing could solve it besides rebooting phone. I'm switching back to the recommended 2.10ROM and 2.12 radio.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
I made these changes too, and rebooted, checked the files, and the changes are still in the files, like the MMS fix in two locations, but even though the changes are there, when you go to msg settings, its still stuck at the previous settings and the changes I made dont show. So there must be another file overriding the 2 files I found, the question is which one :confused:

Ok, I'm done patching this build as well, also changed the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4... I don't know why the dev's are still using openDNS when google's DNS are WAY faster. I will drop the file on my server once I get back from work. (Local LAN > my workplaces' T1).

I am assuming the MMS.apk in this ROM is using the HTC Framework, and not the stock MMS app, otherwise it still won't work. Let me know how it turns out!

--Edit: File is now on the server for download :)

Awesome! I can't thank you enough... I will let you know!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JayCapo1-8125:
You are the man! Thank you so much! That worked.

I installed your fix (Android) to the stock 16GB (formatted it, etc).

Now, my 32GB card has all my old settings and fully configured. Just wanted to confirm with you.

If I drop your Android folder on the 32GB card, can I simply drop my old data.img or will I have to recreate a new one?

Obviously, I know a new install works. Just wanted to run it by you.

NEVERMIND: I tried adding my old data.img file, and it didn't work.

Chiasoft,

would it be possible for you to apply the mms fix to the Core Droid V0.2 by Sergio76?

This is probably one of the best sense builds out there with great custom icons. Only problem is of course the mms size.

Also, on sense builds I think one of the problem was the fact that whenever you try to send a picture message, for some reason it's being converted to a slideshow instead of just a simple picture message, hence the reason why it's being converted to a very small file (less than 20kb)..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nzxtneo:
Have you confirmed the MMS are compressed. This build is based on the HTC EVO rom.

I ran a search of the thread and all that came up was people reporting APN setting issues.

krat0s, read #6 in the change log for mattc leo 1.8, spimonkey34 said the compression issue is fixed...

chiasoft has to download each build, test it to make sure the MMS is at issue, edit the system files, and then reupload build to his own server.

Can everyone just please confirm the MMS compression problem is in fact an issue in the build you want corrected? It would save a lot of time and heartache.

I wonder if just the outgoing mms issue was fixed in mattc leo 1.8?

Has anyone looked at the system directory with Droid Explorer to see what was changed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nirvana Rules:
On Matts 1.8 im able to adjust mms size up to 1200k, it does send 400k+ files but it only receives 2kb files. It would be great if you can fix this issue. I wish i knew how to fix this and I'd do it and uploaded, but I dont :o

Anyways thank you for your time and effort.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krat0s123:
It is in fact still a problem on MattC 1.8.. Unfortunately.. It converts the file at less than 20k size (for larger image) and send it as a slideshow rather than just a regular image.

Nirvana Rules: How did you manage to send it to 400K??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mastajest:
I can confirm that the Core Droid V0.2 has the compression problem. Now I check the mms size on all the builds I test. I've posted the issue on the build's thread, but it doesn't seem to be an issue for the majority of the users. The cook (Sergio76) has already posted the fixes for his next version 0.3, and mms wasn't on it. I think on his network is not an issue, but since I'm on TMOUS it is for me.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1999TL:
Thanks a lot. You happen to know how to add an option to filter out sim contacts within the contacts?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
I have updated 2 more builds with the fix (mattcevoleo1.0.1,mattcleofroyo1.8).. they should be up on the server now; see if this helps.

Since the recent builds seem to be using PPP now, there shouldn't be any mms upload issues so I took out the proxies which were set on the APN list (Proxy seemed to have a much longer timeout period then non proxy which helped with the old rmnet builds especially in upload timeouts), and I also modified the other APN settings for TMOUS:310260. It's a bad idea to use proxy server because you will get all sorts of site login errors and https (SSL) errors.

If you ask me, SOMEBODY did a sloppy job on those 2 ROM' configs...not mentioning names, lOl :P

You can just filter them out by opening "Contacts" and pressing "Menu"

I attached screenshots >.> Is that what you are asking about?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1999TL:
Is that on the Mattc 1.8 build? I heard that build can filter out Sim contacts. the Evo build can't, but I figured that it doesn't filter out Sim contacts b/c it's cdma based?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Hmm.. not too sure >.> I haven't exactly tried the build yet since I lent the HD2 to a friend. I did take out a few cdma settings/properties in some of the config files. I'll go through it more throughly tomorrow I guess, but how's the stability of that build anyways?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1999TL:
Fast. No screen freezes! But I was having MMS problems even though I put in the old apn and mms settings I had. I dunno. I'll try out your fix. Thanks a lot.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mastajest:
I was wondering where this thread had gone.

Noooo! :eek:

Hopefully chiasoft changes his mind and comes back...maybe he was stressed out from work or something :(

IMO he WAS helping out with the ROMs so maybe his thread did belong in the development section, since all sense ROMs have that MMS issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1999TL:
umm. we need this thread back!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
Why was the thread moved anyways???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1999TL:
I guess the moderator didn't think it belonged in the Android Development section?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nzxtneo:
Wow, that really sucks...

The moderators can really be sticklers around here when it comes to "keeping things tidy". They shut me down when I tried to start a discussion on having the noobs that were asking all the damn questions to list their build setups. I was trying to lower the amount of useless posts because it was just making it harder for other members to find relevant information.

But back up track here,

I have tried making the changes necessary to fix the MMS compression issue myself by following chiasofts' directions on the first page and using Droid Explorer, but I couldn’t get it to work…

One thing I came across though is that when I edited the "mm_property.conf" file, it changed from "executable" to just "file" in the type column of Droid Explorer. I tried to change it to executable several times by either saving it to my desktop to make the edits and by right click the file in Droid Explorer, but still nothing.

I think the trick is, you have to delete your old data.img no matter what.

I will test it out when I update my build, but I am waiting on another update or two on the EVO Kernels before I make the jump.

If anyone wants to try it out, please report your findings :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
I'm 90% positive that you have to delete the data.img file and let it rebuild.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nirvana Rules:

I went into messages, settings and adjusted the size of the to 1m. It gives you the option of 2m 1m and 600k

Since chiasoft has left us, I can start a new thread for the MMS fix...

BUT, I will be mainly giving instructions on how everyone can apply the fixes themselves.

I have a couple of HD2's, so when I come across a few builds that I really like, perhaps I can post them with the MMS fixes applied. With new builds coming out all the time, it would be to time consuming to post all the builds with the fixes.

Hopefully, I can find an easier way to apply the fix using Droid Explorer, but I will need another day or so. I have a lot going on tomorrow.

The biggest hurdle is getting a box running linux. I for one dual boot and use Virtual Machines for all my differnt OSes. One easy way to get this done is to run VirtualBox and install ubuntu to it.

So...here is your homework assignment for tonight.

1. Download VirtualBox --> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

2. Download Ubuntu --> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

3. Install Ubuntu to VirtualBox --> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox

4. Play around in Ubuntu and get familure with the interface

5. Figure out how to gain su access in a terminal window --> google is your friend :)

There may be differnt or better ways of working with these files inside of Windows but I prefer to use Linux when workign with linux files. When I get some time tomorrow I will help with the actual patching of the system.ext2 partition.

According to Sergio from CORE DROID, it said that MMS was working... but the APN setting was all off. So perhaps, when he said MMS was working.. was it sends and receives.. but still blurry..
