- Added $55 plan option to APNsAfter months on Cricket with sketchy MMS I've finally gotten it to work with tons of research and trail and error. This fix will detect the version of Android and flash the appropriate files. Thanks goes to the great CM devs and other users/devs of XDA including jpond83, mucus_android, brooksyx, UBER, and tommytomatoe for making this possible.
NOTE:
- Your phone must already be flashed to Cricket service. Refer to this great guide by terinfire here: The Samsung Epic 4G Flashing Guide
- Your phone must be rooted and have a GB, ICS, JB, or KK ROM (ie CM7, CM9, CM10, MIUIv4, AOKP, PA1.5/1.99, etc) released on the Epic. Once you setup your preferred ROM you should be set to flash this fix.
- This fix was designed for the Epic 4G but may work on other phones. Flash at your own risk.
Instructions:
:Before Flashing:
1. Download fix included in the attachment below.
2. Make a backup of your current setup with recovery in case something goes wrong.
3. Follow the directions to setup your preferred ROM. Refer to your ROMs thread for questions. Make sure your ROM is flashed and working before continuing.
-This includes flashing other mods (ie NS4G patch, etc.)
:Setting up the APN for MMS:
Cricket has two types of plans: $45 Value and $50+ Smart plans. The $45 plan requires different APN settings than the Smartphone plans so make sure you know which plan you're on. Each APN is labeled to prevent confusion. I recommended using steps 1-3 for the best results. If you are not comfortable with editing the xml manually you can skip to step 4.
1. Using a PC add your number to the Cricket APN by opening the fix attached below and going to optional/(?)flash/system/etc/apns-config.xml.
-(?) gb: for GB ij: for ICS, JB kk: for KK
-You can do this using a file manager such as Winzip or 7zip. I recommend 7zip.
2. Remove this file from the zip and edit the "user" section "@mycricket.com" to "XXXXXXX@mycricket.com" where the X's are your number. You can do this by dragging it out into your desktop or right clicking it and choose "Extract". Use a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad to edit the file. I recommend Wordpad.
- Ex. 555-555-5555 will be "5555555555@mycricket.com".
3. Overwrite the modified file with the one in the zip by dragging it back into the zip and then save the changes.
4. Copy the fix to your sdcard and flash using recovery and reboot.
5. Once your ROM boots. Confirm the flash worked by checking the Lockscreen or Pulldown Bar. If the Carrier says "Cricket" the flash was successful.
6. Goto Apps->Voice Dailer. Using the Voice Dailer and say "Open A-P-N". Choose "Open APN".
- Note to users of JB 4.2: The voicer dailer is broken at the moment. To access the APN settings menu add a shortcut to your homescreen at Shortcuts->Activities->Settings->APNs. This option is not included in the stock Trebuchet launcher so download one from the app store. I recommend Apex.
7. There should be two options: 45Value and 50Smart. There will be a small selection circle on the right side of each APN. Click this circle to set your APN depending on your plan. Once the circle highlights the APN is set.
8. Open the APNs settings by clicking on the left side of the APN.
9. Scroll down to "Username". If you didn't follow steps 1-3 change "@mycricket.com" to "XXXXXXX@mycricket.com" where the X's are your number.
- Ex. 555-555-5555 will be "5555555555@mycricket.com".
10. Click menu then hit save. Once its saved reboot the phone and everything should be set.
You can test MMS by opening up the messaging app and sending yourself a MMS. Sending may take awhile so don't worry if it's not working right away. Once it's sent you should receive a notification to download the MMS. If you are sure it's not working (freezes at Sending... or never downloads the MMS message) reflash the fix and then try again. Don't forget to check the APN is set properly (steps 6-10).
:Note to daily flashers:
If you like to try out new ROMs (ie Nightlies, updates, etc.) I recommend following steps 1-3 as you will only have to do this once. Once you have MMS working if you want to update or change ROMs all you have to do is flash the new ROM then the fix. You shouldn't have to change anything in the APN menu as Android will save it for you. The settings will be passed to the new ROM as long as your old data is compatible.
