Any word on Voicemail Notifier Working on Metrodroid v4 ?? Any other solution besides google voice?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
gotta either use voicemail notifier or switch to an AOSP based rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] PrO...:
If I flash this ROM will my Evo work on metro pcs or do I need to follow the guide in the OP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
You need to have your esn added to metro and have talk and text. This will give you web/mms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] realtobaqo:
download latest a2sd here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715940 and flash in recovery

go into terminal emulator and run this command

a2sd check

a2sd cachesd

this will move your apps and dalvik cache to sd freeing up tons of space in your internal memory

[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
yea just take it to a metroPCS store around you and ask them to flash it. some stores wont know how to look on craigslist if anything. tell them u want the talk and text setup and $45 plan or better. then yea just root it follow my provisioning guide and and install my rom and u should be good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
on the phone with metrodroid.. the meid number reads A1000017xxxxxx which is only 14 digits long which won't add up to the 18 u say.

but the imsi number starts off 31027xxxxxxxxxx which is 15 digits long.

i'm a bit confused... timetraveler, u say the phone needs to be flashed. in what sense? metropcs has to flash it with their own software? i flash it? please ellaborate, thank you for your help.

bloodykiller, i wanna say i understand what you said, but i'm not sure if i'm making right of the typos. i'm sorry for being n00bish on the subject, i'm usually good with this kinda thing.

edit :: ok i just called them and tried to have them do it again, they said it's not in the inventory. i'm located in ny, she was telling me that it'll only work in florida?? i read her the 18digit meid number (decimal) about 3-4 times n it wouldn't recognize it, she said to try n call customer service. any advice anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Imsi is ur min with the country and mobile codes....and you can flash phones in NY because its a triband location and the evo is a dual band phone so you'll be stuck in roaming if u try to flash it

metropcs market

it would be nice if metropcs market app could be extracted from the new metropcs android phone and incorporated into metrodroid or metromiui.

[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
So what do you suggest I do? I can't get this evo flashed to metropcs. How do I get it flashed? The rep at the store tried adding the Esn into the system n it came up as not found in inventory. Also, if its on the $40 plan this won't work at all? Is that why it won't work? Damn I'm really confused, I thought this would be easy. Please let Mr know what I should do bloody. Thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timetraveler:
well some ? what state are you on

i hear ny city does not flash the evo to metro?

i dont know i live in ca so here you can go to any metropcs store and get it flashed ... on the 45 plan talk and text work then you do bloodykiller rom

magic and get web and mms
[EVO 4G Android Development] lebmb:
hey guys 2 things

im using v 1.2 and youtube is working fine (over wifi), i thought i saw that in the OP that it wasn't working

and as far as flashing to metro, mine has a bad esn as well (just got it kinda cheap) going to flash it to metro tomorrow here in miami, hopefully it goes well :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] macfable:
Why all this talk of the $45 plan? I'm on the $40 and everything works just fine. Actually I just added my fiance and its now $35 for each of us.... man you just can't beat that :) hey bloody is there any chance of 11.15 being done before Turkey day?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well $45 plan since its unlimited everything with caller ID and everything u need lower plans always got something missing....also madunix yea if you in New York i dont think u can flash the phone to metro because if you did u would be paying roaming charges and also of course they cant find you phone in the inventory its not a metropcs phone lol..u have to have it MetroFlashed to MetroPCS first...if they even do that in NY which i dont know. MetroFlash is adding the MEID to the Networks inventory without doing that you will never have it working...you could either look around on craigslist for you area or on howardforums under metropcs. they got a few people there that add esns to Metro...either way its going to cost u around $50 for that............

and regarding the metropcs phone...well first of all i recommend no one get that phone...its a peice of **** lol...its one of the lower end phones but if i can get my friend to lend me one for a bit i can look into it and see what i can do but theres no rooting work and rom on LG android phones cuz they usually suck lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
btw MIUI 11.19 - MetroPCS Edition Should come out later tonight...sorry i havent released it, my upload isnt that fast and it slows down my internet to turtle speed when uploading and im always on it so i have little time to do it lol..ill do it b4 i go to sleep or something to have it up for u guys for later tonight or tomorrow morning
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
ok, hey bloody. i found somebody to add my esn to the inventory. now i have a problem when i try to dial a number it goes to a verizon automated system saying pls hold while we connect u to a operator. this is wen i try to dial any number and also 611. *228 as well. any help? im trying out different prl's but for some reason they're all taking me to this recording.

edit:: i was following some instructions as to where i press *20080 or something like that to update the prl, ever since then instead on the lockscreen banner where it used to say metropcs it says analog b for some reason. and no matter what prl i try writing to the phone it goes right back to that verizon wireless recording. i'm sorry guys, if anyone can please help me out. this isn't my phone n i feel horrible... lol please.. k ty.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
ok first u have to put the metroPCS prl...u can find that here and then follow my guide on how to provision your phone til step 18 then go to the ROAM tab and theres a section there for Preffered Roaming. load up the file u downloaded and write to phone then u can do *228 and setup the phone..if over the phone doesnt work which it might not then call them setup the account with you MEID and tell them to give them your MIN Number and your MDN Number. when your at that point reply to me in a PM and ill help u finish.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lebmb:
update

Successful flash today

used ur guide to setup from OP and got everything working

funny thing i've had metropcs for over a year i just switched for a month and now im back but before with the droid and touch pro2 i never got more then 1x. and the speed test app would never get any results. now its showing 3G and its somewhat decent, with poor reception where i live i got 140k down and about the same up which is just as fast as tmobile's edge which is much faster then it was when i was using the 2 previous phones. so it just got me wondering if that 3G symbol is right or if u had modified it to show that instead of 1x

thanks though, awesome work:)

hopefully u will do a Desire HD build (at least when the cam is working)
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
ty u very much, but i did all of this already (##000000#) edit the mdn n the msid etc.. etc.. i tried all the prls i could find. maybe i should try going back to a sprint prl n see what happens?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
lmao...its not really 3G MetroPCS only has like 2 3G areas and their small lol its just that HTC Sense roms show up as 3G or 4G i guess to fool the consumer into thinking their awesome lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
do it through qpst not the phone u see more options there...MDN is your actual phone number that goes into the "Directory#" section of QPST in the CDMA tab. Then IMSI is your MIN. if u change your directory number it will default to your phone number. so what you want to do is delete just the last 10 numbers and then add your MIN to the IMSI section of the CDMA tab in QPST . Load up the metroPCS prl and then follow the rest of my guide on provisioning your phone to get it setup with MetroPCS. Also your phone has to be activated to an account so call someone and tell them to change the MEID on your account and to give you the MDN and MIN. ive done this many times so i know it will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lebmb:
lol

well i'll tell u what, i needed google maps today looking around for a turkey and leme tell u it worked bro, with the droid i couldn't even load the map, nothing worked other then browsing and a few other things, maybe something in the settings i dunno but it works great, i was really not looking forward to going back to metro internet coming from tmobile hspa on the HD2 (using android sense roms) but man am i happy now lol

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

I can help you out if you have qpst / QXDM / CDMA WS installed already on your pc just for the PRL write.

hit me up .... 8172621819 or cutelover4life@yahoo.com

I also help people who can't fully flash their phones with ESN add via teamviewer remote desktop ( payment is via PAYPAL and you have to install the remote desktop software from http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup.exe ) and have qpst too or i can install that when i connect to you..

I can also add you ESN / MEID to MetroPCS inventory in minutes......ask for details

NOTE: MetroFlash Phones dont work in:

New York

Las Vegas

Lousianna

Philadelphia

...... so don't bother flashing phones if you stay in any of the listed States as they use AWS system which is not supported for MetroFlashed Phones , better buy an original MetroPCS Phone...

Thanks

What is a good script to.save battery life with metrodroid?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrctony:
Metrodroid does not drain your battery,maybe you need to replace your battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrctony:
Hey guys good news! I talked to some people "metropcs authorized dealer related" here in my town,and they said those rumors about metroflash ending is just "rumors",they are going to keep flashing our phones,so no need to worry.They even have updated houdini software a couple days ago,if the rumors where true why update the software they use to flash. Sorry for my english is not my native lenguage trying to do my best...lol. (let's keep doing our thing).

"Edited to do some corrections"
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Install the Underworld SBC Kernel, I went at one point 27 hours on one charge with a regular battery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
The flashing software isn't theirs its Houdini's so.....yea lol

Very late of me to ask but can someone please refresh my memory as to what the changelog is for metrodroid 4.0?
[EVO 4G Android Development] .Nox:
The Metrodroid v4 link in the OP is dead, I tried to download it earlier tonight. I also tried all the different MMS scripts on sense 3.5 and MIUI V4, all to no avail.

I'm using the most recent PRL and getting 1100k+/sec here in Atlanta! Thanks BloodyK and JD, you guys rock!!

Edit: link works great :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jstlouis1993:
ICS MMS Script?

Is there any ICS (Android 4.0) MMS script for Metro? Would like to try out some of decks ics roms or DarkLight V3:p

I had a work around to only receive MMS on a ICS rom but seems not to be working for me anymore.

And Thanks Bloodykiller86 for all the work you done!!:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
link isnt dead for metrodroid man i just checked it. you have to download it from your computer not your phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
i could make one but ugh for what? those roms are hardly what i would call stable and the camera not working to well doesnt really make me want to use it to much lol i played with it for like 20 minutes and said yea this aint for me. Why im switching to a Galaxy Nexus. Its time for the evo to be crushed into oblivion lol Damn i hate old tech lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] .Nox:
That's strange, I had tried from my computer actually. I'll give it another try and report back in a few mins.

Edit: It worked like a charm this time. I swear im not crazy lol, it didn't show the green ZIP image or the download link last night on minus.com. Thanks again bro!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
nope youre crazy lol mustve been dreaming bro lol xD
[EVO 4G Android Development] .Nox:
I'm running swipers Miui ics and only thing not working is FFC and HWA (and camcorder I think, I don't use it). Camera works great and its as stable as a "brick **** house" as they say lol. I run apex launcher cause I hate the iOS look. ICS roms have been my daily for months and months. Beats the **** out of sense and gingerbread IMO.

Thanks for all you've done for us Evo Metro users! Looks like someone will need to pick up where you'll leave off. Damn I need to learn to code android!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Probably won't happen anytime soon lol most people who flash to metro want money and the evo was my only free option because it was my first project
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexigga:
When you execute a script (meteopcs.sh in this case) does it become hidden or disappear? I am not having issues with mms, but am curious where it went to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
that script just writes the apn doesnt go anywhere
[EVO 4G Android Development] pifive:
Hi guys need some help here.

In the quest to find what is taking too much of my internal memory I decided to start from zero with my evo. I copied everything on my SD card and place it on a backup hard drive. Then I formatted the SD card and put it back to the phone. Then I flashed MetroDroid again. I wanted to start from zero but when I booted the phone I found everything back! I mean all apps I had on phone where still there. So how can I completely start from Zero with my phone. I just want to install MetroDroid and then I configure email, other apps etc 1 by 1.

Thanks for help ! Bloody I love MetroDroid ! Thanks again !
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
You wiped/formatted the sd card. Did you also wipe EVERYTHING on your phone (cache/system/boot/dalvic..etc?) Because the only other way those aps come back is after you log into Google, the market will begin auto-restoring all your aps. That is probably what happened.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
its pretty easy.....its the cache of all the apps. like fb may be 3 or w/e mb but the cache size is what eats up your space. i find it retarded that by default android doesnt store data on the sd. well actually i do know why. its because the sdcards are formatted as FAT. Its why phones like the galaxy nexus use that mtp interface cuz its already setup in the system but i dont think it saves stuff on the internal memory not sure. but yea i feel your pain
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
why not just write up a guide on how to edit mms.apks and roms to have proper apns for metro and just abandon this thread...we appreciate all you gave us but your not even helping others contribute to the metro community??? im sure if you put out the info on how to do it,there would be a few people out there that can provide real support to other users...keeping information to yourself isnt gonna help us progress in keeping things rolling....ijs

[EVO 4G Android Development] .Nox:
Said beautifully and in the spirit of android open source. Glad you cleaned this up papa, thanks.

On an on-topic note, I was unable to get any of the scripts to work on stock sense 3.5. I don't MMS much but a family member does. The script replaced the stock MMS app but still didn't send. I might be missing something tho, I didnt have much time to devote to it, only flashed the zips.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Yea the apns havent been writing in the latest versions of sense lately so wat I've been wanting to do is just write them from the framework. I still don't understand why htc writes their apns like that. Every other Android use the apns file from system/etc...htc uses the one compiled into framework res which imo is just retarded lol but what you can do man is pull the apns-conf.xml from my aosp rom and use apn backup and restore to put the apns up til I figure something out for that
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
I still have a modified framework-res.apk for new base ill upload when I get to pc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrctony:
Hey Bloodykiller I just PMed you...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
I've tried decompiling them,editing the apn/eri and then recompiling ,then dropping the meta-inf back in the compiled apk.but when i push it com.android.phone fc loops. Any idea what's happening??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
use apk manager. dont have to drop anything anywhere. btw on sprint sense phones eri in framework-res does nothing
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
I tried both ways and its still fc constantly.have no idea what else to try.... Puzzled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Send me the original and ill mod it for u.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Btw guys its been confirmed...metro is gonna stop using houdini at this months end so no more flashing phones. hopefully they start using another program but atm no one knows. If anything flashers will result to an illegal way but yeah that's obviously illegal lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
Where did u hear this from!???

You want to me send you the framework res.apk ?? It's the framework of the 4.67 ota,incase you have it already.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
My friend who owns a metro store. Got the email from metro two weeks ago. I just found out. And yea send me it. Its different for every rom depending on the tweaks they put on it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
damn....thanks ****ty...i hope my evo doesnt **** on me anytime soon...cuz ill tell you this,metro has ****TTTTTT phone...the lg esteem and the lg connect are GARBAGE!!! between the software and hardware EPIC FAILS,you might as well go back to a "dumb phone" lol

and im sending the framework now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Don't worry, if **** hits the fan cricket is supposedly expanding its network so 3G should be more available
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexigga:
I can't locàte the metro.sh file anywhere in the root...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well in my latest scripts its called mpcs.sh and also its not in the root of the phone but in the zip. unzip it and youll see its not inside the folders
[EVO 4G Android Development] mexigga:
so that explains why I cannot locate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
here you go. just replace the framework-res in the rom zip(dont have to unzip it just open it in winrar or 7zip and just drag and replace) or just push it to you phone. dont try doing it on the phone cuz it will mostly likely cause a bunch of force closes
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
gonna try it now,ill let know know what happens!!! :D

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

so i flashed the rom i whipped up..used the framework u provided with the modified apns.xml...PROBLEM, MMS SERVER URL is STILL SPRINT....

everything i have modified so far.

Modified MMS.apk

Voicemail-conf.xml

Adjusted Build Prop

Modified Framework-res.apk/apns.xml

setting dont seem to be sticking or there must be something im missing...

any thoughts on something i need to do to get this thing ready to go?? thanks again for your help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
Make sure part of your update script deletes data/data/com.android.telephonyproviders/telephony db or if your pushing it to phone delete it then reboot for it to stick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Before u flash just wipe data. It has to rewrite it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vyrus69:
Metro just pushed out the 2004 PRL to flashed EVOs again down here in Miami, gotta love them trying to slow us down, I mean really? LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
I still have 3027. Mustve been a second wave
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
I check mine every morning over a cup of coffee
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mikekelso421:
i did...i started from a clean slate,wiped EVERYTHING,then flashed...

what exactly do i need to add to the updater script in order for it to delete that?? i didnt see that in bloodys metrodroid3.0 updater script.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
He does his different by running his metropcs.sh which is the apns. In the update script it will read. delete ("data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db") ) that smiley I'm not putting there.

I already wrote my update script ill use the framework you guys just put up real quick so you can test it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
If ur making a script to replace th framework-res then yea u delete the telephony file but if ur using the script to write the apn then u don't delete it
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
Script is replacing framework i added telephon db to it also. I linked it to him after i flashed it but it was my girls og and running mik 4,53 so you know how that went lol. He hasnt responded in a minute though so not sure how it went for him. Im decompiling mikg 2.61 extreme pink framework now so i can actually flash it on my girls phone ill update in a few.
