[EVO 4G Android Development] mrctony:
many stores still flashing here in sac too, you think that many stores has houdini credits left...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Dont know. Depends how much money they had and how many credits tgey bought lol hopefully it'll last til the end of the year
[EVO 4G Android Development] revized:
Peeps said they was going to stop flashing phone's along time ago, never happened. I never seen any official quotes either. Besides the only reason the franchise stores have stopped is because ever since android phone's began released they had to actually learn something in order to get diagnosis mode and most every store is computer illiteracy. So that is my thoughts until is see proof around here :-D besides the corporate stores are are actually trained to use computers for other then YouTube and Facebook.lol. that may be why they are still doing it :-P
[EVO 4G Android Development] gadgetdaddy:
Why, what's going in with houdini?
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
nothing is wrong with Houdini. It is a successful and thriving company. go look at the threads from a month ago that mention the rumors of mpcs no longer allowing authorized dealers to Houdini flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Its not a rumor lol metropcs got sued by virgin Mobile lol look it up and youll see. The memo was sent to all stores like two months ago and if you notice the metroflash section of their site is completely gone so....yea lol

Actually APN Backup & Restore will work on ICS 4.0

Just do the following:

1. Device has to be rooted

2. You need Titanium Backup installed

3. Go to the market and install the latest version of APN Backup & Restore

4. Open Titanium Backup

5. Go to the backup-restore tab

6. Find APN Backup & Restore in the list

7. Long press on the app when you find it

8. Select "Convert to System App"

9. Open APN Backup & Restore

10. click menu and disable ICS check

You should be good to go now.

Please hit the Thanks, if this helps.

First thanks for the Rom and the provisioning guide. Worked like a charm.

I've searched and searched and can't seem to find the answer I need, I am trying to either A) get metropcs apps on my (wife's) Evo 4g or at least the Metro Backup app.

She was on a Samsung Freeform 2, with metro backup app, and going to an Evo. I am trying to transfer all of her contacts, however the metro backup website doesn't export (only print which is useless) and without being able to install the metro backup app, I'm kind of stuck.

Any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
copy the backup app from the samsung admire. theres a few dumps of it online or better yet the htc Wildfire s

[EVO 4G Android Development] conundrum4000:
Regarding my earlier post, I was able to get it from another metro rom and extract it.. thank you!

I'm still unable to get MMS to work, it receives but does not send.

I'm using PRL 3029 and have tried on MetroDroid V4.0, MikeG V3.11 (with the 2.1/3.0 script) and Swagged out Stock (w/ 4.67 script).

I just went through the provisioning guide again rechecked everything.

I did use my Metro SPC # as my password, some guides call for using that or using "metropcs", thinking maybe I should go back through and try using "metropcs" instead??

Any ideas?

I get 'Generic Network failure'.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
Do u have a data connection at all? If everything is set up correct and have service and data through metro that should do the trick.

Yep.. 3g internet works fine, if a bit slow. That's the puzzling part.

Sometimes a MMS will go through but 9/10 it is generic network failure.

Manually type in a number that isnt in your contacts and try sending. Sometimes if ur contacts sync with facebook or other stuff it puts a + in front of number and it won't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
the +1 is actually just the US country code. it should in no way affect you ability to call people atleast it hasnt for me lol almost all my fb contacts have that and i call them just fine. Android does it for some reason lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
Yea I think its just for texting and mms. It almost seems like only the markets that restrict 3g on flashed phones have that sane issue when it comes to messaging and that +1 its never affected my calls in any way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] revized:
never prevented my calls as well, although i noticed (on metrodroid 3 still though) that anyone i started to send a text message to and if the first time i did it i didnt put in the area code that one person will from that point on have problems sending messages, after i put the area code then i will work for a while then i get message not sent and i have to delete all the meaaages from that contact and send will then work, randomly i will see that the +1 shows up and i can recieve and no longer send.lol. its been like that since day one, as i dont sync my contacts with any app, i dont have a facebook or any social network account so i know thats not the issue. maybe its fixed on 4.0 dont know, altbough when i get a few free minuted i am going to sbf, and use that script mteezy made. my recored camera has always has terrible lags.

I'm kinda confused. I have a Sprint HTC Evo. I want to flash it to MetroPCS. I keep running in circles trying to get a straight-forward method. Or these guides are "obsolete".
[EVO 4G Android Development] revized:
You have to call and find a corporate store and take it there, I would make sure you can get into. Diagnosis mode unless you are for sure your rom is stock. Some custom roms can't trigger diagnosis mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
Can I not do it myself? And should I flash a ROM specifically set up for Metro before flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
You need to have the phone's esn added to the metro system. Houdini/metro-flash is what corporate stores do. OR you could do it yourself via a donor phone...which is illegal and not condoned here;)... But there are guides for that if you search. And no, you don't need a certain specific ROM, but you do need to be on a sense ROM (so you can get into diag mode.

OK, so what are the basic steps?

I want to take the sprint evo 4g I have now and get it on metro for my kid,

Step 1: Flash a ROM from page one of here.

Step 2: Do the steps from this post, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8395950#post8395950

Step 3: Call up metro and have them just turn it on like a normal phone

Am I missing anything or do i need to do it in a different order?

[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
That's it.....assuming you already did the first line under 'what you'll need' from the post you linked to.... It's the most important part.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chaos67731:
No, I have not done anything to me Evo 4G yet, but think its going to be my project this weekend. I just want to make sure I have the steps right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
You have to have your evo's esn added to the metro system if you want to use the phone on metro. That's why you must first do step one from the link you posted. Go to a metropcs store and ask if they'll Houdini flash it for you (most stores have stopped doing it and all will stop doing it soon if they haven't already) OR you can use a donor phone... http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?t=538899

...again..do that first
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
@chaos67731

Just to make things a little more clear:

There are 2 (two) processes you need to go through to have your evo fully functioning on metro.

1) you must have the phone's esn added to the metro system as i stated above. you MUST do that or your phone is still just a sprint phone.

2) after your phone is added to the mpcs system, you will only have calling and texting capabilites(ie no data/web//mms.) so NOW you will need to provision your phone for DATA/MMS. the link you posted earlier is that provisioning guide.

- some metro stores that houdini flash (add your phone to the mpcs network) will actually provision for you and ususally put bloody's rom on there for you also.

>>out of curiosity, can anyone vouch for any metro stores that are still using houdini?
[EVO 4G Android Development] revized:
LA corporate stores still following the rules and flashing the phones that are on the. Approved device list. Maybe they were not effected by the lawsuit. B-)

Btw, has ANYONE gotten mms to work on ics? If so, please share.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
You can try editing the mnc and mcc. I always used 310 027 but all new metro phones have 311 066 that's what I was using during my last days with metro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
i'll give that a shot. IF that doesnt work, what else could it be? is mms on ics a lost cause? teezy, what svc provider to you have now?

[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
dude...don't say "stuck" using aosp.. i hate sense. lol. yeah, it's all aosp. there are some awesome ics roms for the evo now (all aosp) . so any advice you can give for getting mms would be awesome.

also, my wife and i are about to ditch metro. they're getting worse and worse. what plan do you have with tmob?
[EVO 4G Android Development] euklid:
As far as i know mms only works on ics roms with a modified mms.apk i did it on my wifes epic touch 4g ...mms works perfectly..but it looks like an old version of mms prob from android 2.2 or 2.3 so it doesnt read contact names correctly..if anyone can figure this out? Maybe when metropcs comes out with ics phone..
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
Im sorry you feel that way. Sense is the whole reason I'm an HTC fanboy. I got a one s now awesome phone. Development hasn't fully taken off for these phones since HTC has made a lot of the stuff with sense 4 closed source. But its only a matter of time. Anyways with aosp you can probably try the mms apk from one of the gb roms that was modded for metro. If not check the 3vo forums I think there is a cm9 Rom that's metro ready take that mms apk. And also try pushing the apns conf I'm gonna link here to system/customize and set perms to rw-r--r and reboot. Make sure your build prop ro.cdma.home operater stuff is metro and that they match the mcc mnc's that you have set in your apns. If all else fails use go sms and fill apn manually that never failed me before I got good at troubleshooting it. :D

Does the ICS script work on any roms? If it does which ones specifically?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
those numbers are useless really. all they really do is pick the apn to use from the list. evo usually only has one so the apn mmc and mnc coincide with the one in the build.prop. as some devs have probably noticed though newer htc's dont even have those numbers in the build.prop anymore and the mmc and mnc in the apn is listed at 000

Welllllll....since no one wanted to answer my question, I set out on a quest to get MMS working on ICS.........and the results are....I DID

One caveat to it.....

Works on the Unofficial CM9 latest nightly, using Bloody's ICS script, and using GOSMS Pro to send and receive.

You have to manually set the max MMS within GOSms to 500kb, and split message in Send Settings, and thats it, good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
Hey bro, I had the same question a few posts back, so I couldn't answer. Did you try apn backup/restore instead of only go SMS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Yea, but ICS doesn't allow you to change the APN, only add a new one in, and the stock msging app doesn't allow you to lower the size of the MMS, thats essential to be able to get it to work.

You can receive MMS in the stock app no problem, but you can't send it.

But right now the issue I'm having with this ROM is the battery drain, its horrendous, so I'm trying to see what I can do to lower the drain.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
I'm able to receive no problem, the issue is sending out, since the stock CM9 mms.apk doesn't have a setting to limit size, we can't send out from that app, hence why I can send from GOSms no problem since I can limit the size of the MMS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
Did that fix work on all ics roms? Also, was the alpha value 'cricket' correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrctony:
Wait I just msged the author waitting for him to respond Ill let you guys know,and yes I think "cricket" as alpha value works, (make a nandroid just in case, if you wanna try)
[EVO 4G Android Development] realmccoy813:
FYI for anyone trying to obtain mms capability, from my experience through trail and error there are three main components the build.prop(numeric), apn, and the mms app itself. I just recently tested and went from receiving and not sending to receiving and sending applying just a few adjustments. I'm currently on the unofficial cm9 and only changed the numeric and adjusted the apn. MMS are fully functional using Gosms. Again just a friendly FYI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Holy shi*%%*-- got it to work on the stock msging app!!!!

I followed the steps in the other thread an flashed the mmsfix zip, rebooted and edited the build.prop when I used root explorer to fix the build.prop it backed up the original. I rebooted and tried to send an mms...didn't work in either stock app or gosms, so I went back in, renamed the original build.prop back and renamed the new one back and PRESTO not only did work but it also sent the ones I was trying to send....so here is my theory and I need someone to test, I don't want to risk losing mine lol.

Try these steps:

1. Download bloodys ics script and flash in recovery.

2. Once the phone is booted up open up the voice dialer app and say "open apns"

3. Go to metroprl.blospot.com and pull up the apn settings there.

4. Hit menu and add new and input settings.

5. Download and flash mmsfix zip from other thread.

6. Boot up the phone as normal, then reboot.

7. Test mms.

My theory is when you flash the mmsfix zip it deletes the telephony.DB file and when you boot up with the metro Apn in there it rebuilds it correctly.

Try and let me know!

[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
I believe it should send over wifi aslong as you have data on even if its not connected. Its how it works on my gnex so hopefully it works on the evo.

And how many people actually still have an evo on metro btw. Just wondering is all. I mean its a pretty old phone now and as soon as i got the money for my gnex i got rid of mines. I really wanted to run it over a few times (i kinda like to see old tech get detroyed. Fun to watch lol) but i needed money so i sold it to my cuzin lol but yea metro evo users let me get a head count. If its enough demand ill pick up development again for a while and work out a few bugs. I got some time before school starts and gets hectic so i wouldnt mind doing some more mms fixing again :P

I'm still on the og mainly cause metro hasn't got better phones yet in my eyes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
A new and interesting caveat opened up to me this morning....in order for my method to work, you MUST have GOSms Pro installed and the MMS settings set to 500k.

Even if you don't use the app, it must be installed on the phone.
