[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
I will have a look at this rom as well, but I can't test as I don't have too much time.

Everyone seems to be asking for step-by step's... but it's easier said than done. Each build is different, and the rom chef's seems to like messing around with settings and using files in other folders or having weird permission settings (such as making some of the config files read only even to root... gRr). Some of the Mdeejay builds, he made it so it doesn't read the default.xml, so you need to change some other files.. etc.. so there isn't a "set of instructions" to really give except what I have up on first post. Some ROM's have the bundled data.img, with some pre-configured settings in there as well.. so it's really a big process to find and locate where the settings are stored/read/loaded from. I really don't want to be following this thread to answer a million of those "how-to's" and the "where's this file" posts etc...There's a lot of things to be modified/checked for in each build, and the reason for this thread in the first place was to make the rom chef's aware that, TMOUS needs settings a little different than the Euro/WWE builds. Seems like they don't care, and still customize for UK. Which is why I'm taking on the task of modifying and providing downloads for us, TMOUS people.

The Rom's they port from, DesireHD,Desire,Bravo all exists in Europe, so their carrier settings are all within the ROM, to them(chefs) and the majority of the users, everything works.

It's a bit time consuming since they like to make 20 flavors of basically the same thing.. lOl. I usually work on patching something which is more stable sooner, than something which is unstable, and just... eye-candy; if you know what I mean.

Thats simple, use 2 APN's.

Set up one that says

T-Mobile DATA

APN: internet2.voicestream.com

all other settings blank or default

Then, all the way on the bottom where it says APN type, put "default, supl"

Then save, and setup another one called:

T-Mobile MMS

APN: epc.tmobile.com

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

all others blank, and then APN Type, put "mms"

Save, and then it should work with both :)

On a side note.. I thought TMOUS doesn't sell HD2 without a Data Plan? lOl. I guess you guys bought it either withour contract or off ebay or something..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
I totally understand. I am also of the like having a stable rom and the Desire most resembles our HD2. That is the reason Darkstone uses that build for his base. The only thing that is really lacking from his build is the keyboard from the EVO. I really hate not having the arrows on the screen when trying to edit emails or long txt msgs.

I appreacaite the time you are taking and can do the testing in the background for the rEVOlotion build if needed.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sxypapi:
you are tha best, thank you for all your work :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
You know what...I'll just replace the HTC_IME.apk in the FroYoStone build with the one from the EVO build. This should make the best build...at least for me :)

-CMY
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Hmm.. thats true.. maybe I should try and swap the htc_ime.apk as well.. haha.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JayCapo1-8125:
Thanks for all the hard work, I now come directly to this thread to find the ROM I want to try with working MMS. :)

I'm trying Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.5_NextSense_w_MooMooMMS_FIX_untested.rar but having trouble getting any internet connectivity when not on WIFI. Did you by chance experience this? EDIT: Doh! I just saw that it wasn't tested.. I'm still trying to troubleshoot on my end.

Thanks again!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Sorry, this is untested as of right now lOl. I dont know the results, but I will check when I get a chance to. :)

you can always adb logcat > C:\logcat.txt to see if there are any issues.

Or adb shell , then netcfg to see connection status.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JayCapo1-8125:
No apologizes needed... Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I'm going to try the one you recommended MooMoo_ROM_WITH_MMS_aGPS_TMOUS_FIX_Base_Froyostone 3.2.rar first..

Thanks,

Jason
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
Darkstone 3.2 so far is working great. Mms is sent and received correctly, however I think large mms sizes still force close the native messaging app. I don't believe you can send or receive messages until you restart the app. However, it doesn't fc it until you try to view the mms, so its a simple touch or two away. Definitely not worth complaining about.

Other then that, internet is fast and reliable, and camera flash does work with the 5mp camera. I haven't tried gps yet, but I'll report my findings when I get to that point.

Battery drain seems no worse then any other build. I get about 6ma standby, not using setcpu. I'm only getting a quadrant score of 960, but this honestly feels just as fast and smooth ad builds in which I get scores of 1300+.

Summarizing, this is hands down the closest to complete, perfect, stock whatever you want to call it build around for tmo us.

Chiasoft you rock. Will donate when I get home later today.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ktran1588:
Hi Chiasoft,

If you have a chance to test the build Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._1.1_Clean. I have notice that the maximum size for MMS is set to only 300K. Maybe you would be interested in increasing this. Just FYI.

And I tried to send a MMS and it shrink the picture to only 7K every time, which is very small. Is this normal?

Thanks for all your work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
If you've downloaded the one up on my server, then it sounds like you didn't start from a clean data.img or restored your MMS settings with titanium backup.

Try deleting the data.img and then letting it create from scratch. Although this wasn't tested (data connection/reliability), the MMS part was definitely corrected. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
The MMS app force closing is weird, I've never had that happen to me, and I've sent myself image attachments upto 980Kb. As far as the quadrant scores goes, I really don't think it's an accurate program to benchmark. Most of it has to do with the kernel though, I believe theres some hastarin r7.5 kernel or something like that which has a little better performance? You can check out that thread, and try that kernel and see.

Has anyone looked at the new HTC wallpapers that I added into the 3.2 build? :D

Theres the usual 15, and then I added 15 more.

Theres also yet another set from another ROM leak which I need to extract and merge.

o.O

MooMoo_ROM_WITH_MMS_aGPS_TMOUS_FIX_Base_Froyostone 3.2

Got a quick questions, has anyone tried using this build with Exchange email? I keep getting a failure message (asking me to check settings). Doesn't matter if I'm on WIFI or 3G. I'm able to successfully setup IMAP/POP.

I'll check the main thread to see if anyone else has this problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Hmm.. let me take a look...

Edit: crap, I found the issue. Lets see if I'd be able to fix, I'll update shortly. Exchange is broken at the moment, sorry about that -__-
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JayCapo1-8125:
Take your time, looking forward for the update.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ktran1588:
Will try. Thanks :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
Was just going to let you know that Exchange is borked. Don't forget to swap in the EVO_IME.apk :) I have attached for your convience.

I was just getting ready to upload my patched version until I realized exchange is broken...at first I thought I did it until i went back to the stock load and confirmed.

While you are at it why not cook in T-Mobile Visual VM and My Account? I could not source the .apk for My Account but I have the latest Visual VM.

-CMYLXGO
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Oh darn, you posted this after I booted into linux, and wasn't looking at the thread anymore. I fixed Exchange, I guess I'll drop those in later when I get home. I'm not gonna waste my time trying to upload on this T1 pipe to my server... do you know if EVO's HTC_IME has the IKE functions? (for multi-lingual input). I know some of us wants/needs the east asian inputs. Can you get me HTC_IME.odex as well from the EVO rom. "T-Mobile My Account" is called : com.tmobile.selfhelp-1.apk

Also, I think we are very close to a fully working build. (at least for my needs.. almost complete :D )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
I looked for that after installed it on my build and couldn't find it. I just googled the damn file and downloaded it and attached it to this post. The rEVO v1.7 build does not have the .odex file in it. I deleted the one in the froyostone build when I patched it and it worked just fine. I've got a few things going on tonight but will look in another build to see if I can find the .odex file.

-CMYLXGO

EDIT: This .apk file does not work. Removed from post.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jazzmanmonty:
still having problem with internet and mms both working. i'm using the $10 tmobile unlimited plan, and can't get both working at same time. internet requires internet2.voicestream.com and mms requires epc.tmobile.com. someone said to try two apns, but its not working. i can tell the phone tries to switch from data apn to mms apn but doesn't send. i'm sure there are many of us HD2 users that switched to the cheaper plan and someone has a way to get it working. so please share! :) its been a three week mission of trial and error and searching the net for the correct settings, and nothing! HELP!!! thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] youngstacks74:
cant get any data at all with clean sense 1.1
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Are you using a senseUI based rom? If not, then it most likely wont wont work with the 2APN's.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voltaje:
I can also verify no data at all on Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._1.1_Clean_R75_w_MooMooMMS_FIX_untested, data is fine on the original release before the MooMooMMS fix
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ktran1588:
Confirm this too. No data and cannot send picture message through the net work. The original one works but MMS sucks lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JayCapo1-8125:
Just curious, did you have a chance to upload changed build with Exchange working... wasn't sure if you did or didn't. Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Working on that right now, some last minute tweaks, and updated the keyboard to the one with the arrows. Included a few apps, and doing some final testing to make sure everything runs and I can login to the various accounts and such.

Edit: Definately needs a reboot after initial setup. :)

Could I possibly get you to do phireMOD skinny EVO v1.4? Thank you very much for all your hard worek on all these roms, they are the greatest!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smartphonedummy:
i believe it is a problem with darkstones build as they are having the same problems without the moo moo fix. also the build has the blue screen of death as well. the build itself is not very stable, dont think it has anything to do with chias fix.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Ok, managed to fix some unaccounted for data-disconnects. Also fixed the Market Disconnect issue. Exchange works again, replaced keyboard with that provided by cmylxgo ripped from Evo build. Added Google Voice, and T-Mobile MyAccount and Visual Voicemail. (has the arrows on the bottom). Will upload the ROM back upto my server, give or take 40 minutes. :)

Please format SD card (after backing up data onto PC first). Then drop the Android folder from the download to the SD. Let it create a fresh data.img and customize from there. I've noticed remnant files and settings and such tends to mess up the build. Also, PPP data is streamed/cached onto a file in the rom on the SD, so if your SD card is slow/full/buggy then data connection will have issues. I've been streaming a radio station from Taiwan, on "Tune In Radio" android app, exchange sync, gmail sync, fb sync, news, weather sync, for the past hour and a half, without a break in data connection. So.. I think I'm good.. :D

After initial setup of accounts, please reboot. If you get a BSOD after running haret, then the graphics or something isn't initialized properly. (the damn full screen weather animation in windows mobile tends to screw it up. I've noticed if you let that finish and goto idle state it works ok. But then again that may be different for everyone.) Just pull the battery, and then load up winMo and then Android.

Those on the $10 wap unlimited internet, I'm not able to test for you, you'd need to mess with the APN settings and find what works for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asphaltkiller:

Where is located the MMS user agent?

I'm trying to edit the mm_properties.conf file in droid explorer and everytime I save the file it reverts back to it's old state with the improper strings for wapprofile. I guess it's cause I can't mount the /etc folder? How can I go about being able to write to these files in droid explorer?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Which build are you using? The Stock ROM's dont have those files, you would need to have a modified mms.apk file, or modify the mms shared_prefs somewhere in your data.img. You'd need to mount that in linux.

I've never used droid explorer, but I think some ROM's the chefs made it so you can't modify the file within Android. You would need to adb pull, modify the file, adb shell and remove the file, adb push the file back, and then adb shell chmod 775 the file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EvilDylan:
Oh dear, I have no idea how to do that. I'm using the mdeejay hd 3.6 rom.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
Thanks for the update :) wish I could of done more to help. Looking forward to the download.

BTW...just loaded the Mdeejay_Glacier_Sense_v._1.0.1 build and there is some cool sh!t in that sense build. Lots of T-Mobile apps and branding. A newer build of Yahoo Messenger than whats in the Market just to name one. A little too much T-Mobile Pink for my liking thou. Don't get me wrong...I love pink and Pinkin Ain't Easy...but it just isn't integrated correctly. The dialer and the FAVs are off the chain. I'm going to look into porting these if possible to the FroYoMooStone build :)

-CMYLXGO

​
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
LOL @ FroyoMooStone..

Personally, I'm not a fan of the branding stuff... Did you see what happened to the MyTouch3G Slide (Expresso) ? They nerfed the Sense, and "iPhone'ed" it up with the ugly bubbles around the icons. They even removed some decent HTC widgets.. (although grabbing the files off that phone helped me a lot.). I'll take a look at newer based rom's once they become more stable.

The dev's need to re-work their PPP stuff.. Android 2.2 Allows for Wifi+3G simultaneous, BUT the background routing isn't done properly, and Wifi still takes priority. This new feature was to allow apps like the T-Mobile MyAccount to work even when you are on Wifi. The app can specificaly request certain data (like your account stats, and MMS) from the 3G connection even when you are streaming youtube and on the Web using wifi. Obviously for us, it's still broken. And this tends to cause a lot of the connection freezeup's for people.

Edit: Rom is up. Happy Downloading. :)

I have 25 Mbit/s bandwidth available for Upload... so if your download is slowing to a crawl it's because theres too many of you on it.

Side question...How did you get Angry Birds to run? It crashes on me when I try to run it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
Runs fine for me.. although you can't pack it in system.ext2 because the app defaults the storage to SD Card, and leaves a link and settings on the ROM. So I left the APK in the root of the SD card/rar file. I'd pack swype too, but I dont want a C&D letter from whomever.. lOl.

Hi Guys, can someone with the 1.7ppp build please navigate to your /system/etc folder and copy/paste the text contents of their "mm_property.conf" file? The file should open up with the standard text editor. I tried to make an edit to the file and it instead cleared all of the text.

well my MMS was working with this fix on Darkstone froyostone V2. however, later in the day it stopped working. My friend's build was the same. We fixed both of our builds in the morning but by evening it wasn't working. No clue. I'm going to try a non sense build now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chiasoft:
I'm only provinding a fix, not forcing you to use it :P

If you want you can backup all your files first to test. I personally haven't tried this myself but, replace the system.ext2 (rename original to system.ext2.bak) on your SD with the one downloaded, and see if your MMS app loads up with the new values. (make sure you download the correct modified build) If not it needs to be loaded on first boot when all settings are initialized.

If thats the case waiting for him to release a build with the fix won't help you.

You'd end up needing to start with a clean build anyways.

Just download one of the ROM's I have on the first post. If you wish to do this yourself,

mount system.ext2 in linux

make the necessary changes, unmount and pop the file back onto your SD card.

You will need to delete your existing data.img however, to get the settings applied. (basically a fresh install)

Make a backup of the files elsewhere if you need to go back.

Thats weird. What do you mean stopped working? Sending or receiving?

Sending uses upload, and from my experience, RMNET builds have issue uploading MMS over 100Kb, it'd time out. It could be build related. PPP works perfectly with uploads and downloads, but only if it plays nice with your hardware.
