work in progress as of 7/14 this isnt a full solution for receiving from others

Here is my guide to getting direct pictures on the HTC EVO BOOSTMOBILE NETWORK


ive been browsing around and havent seen a proper fix for this besides those who want to make a profit.

im currently testing this and can send mms to myself, by way of the go sms pro app....it allows sending mms to yourself with a viewing pic......

AOSP ROMS
1. Delete the MMS.apk and mms odex if there is one from /system/app
2. install Go sms Pro from the market
3. Setup go sms Pro for Full features.
4. in go sms pro app hit menu>settings>>MMS settings>Fill APN config Manually

MMSC: Http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: I left mine blank
MMS Port: 80

SENSE

1. go into mms app and look to see if mmsc is editable. (sense 3.0 & some 2.1 allow editing.
2. If not editable follow steps above for AOSP^^^^^
3. EDITABLE change mmsc to

MMSC: Http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: I left mine blank
MMS Port: 80


I will continue to update thread and test more roms FO DA Freesci!!. 7/13/2011

ill try it, but i was looking into something else.. im kind of close.

basically what i did was pull the mms.apk file from a rom
someone was using with boostmobile.

then i copied it into the zip file of the rom i initially want to use.


but the messaging app crashes and i figured its because im using
stock gingerbread and that rom was created in 2010.

so Im still looking

What changes were made to the mms.apk? Could you post this apk?

Your MMS don't come to your phone as 9000 media msg received? Do u have to go to the web to view it?

Ive tried removing the sprintpcs, could it be the donor phone that was used to set up the account? I read that, that may be the issue if the phone couldn't receive pics. Hmmmm

i used a rant, what'd you use? maybe nand bckup, titanium bkup apps, and then factory reset wipe, cache and dalvik cache and start fresh with rom install. Maybe your attempts to get mms has tweaked something? the only thing not working for me is voicemail notifications from stock voicemail app----- i hear it works with Kingdom Rom though.
If your donor provides 3g i'd be surprised if it didn't accept MMS.....try it after a clean install

are you able to "update profile" and "prl update" ?
i was thinking maybe go sms program or apn settings/port might be conflicting and that a fresh install, then before restoring apps, setting up ##3282# then testing just to confirm.
i first had my evo on metropcs and mms wasn't working then, and it sucked. So I hope it works out for ya

Hey when you guys flashed a Gingerbread rom like Lithid 2.3.4 AoSP or Kingdom Sense, did your settings for Boost carry over aside from the MMS issue? I know prior Gingerbread ROMs has EPST access issues. Thanks

I agree. If you are receiving mms messages from a 9000 number its because of your donor phone. I am using a incognito and a ppc-6700 as donor phones. The incognito receives direct picture mail but the ppc-6700 does not. PPC-6700 doesn't support mms messaging. The url is http://mm.myboostmobile.com not Http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com

htc evo on boost mobile rooted rom, mms settings solution ##3282# not working,

I could not change the Sprint MMSC settings to mm.myboostmobile.com due to my ##3282# not working and my settings were grayed out in my stock messaging settings not allowing me to edit them. I tried qpst and cdma workshop and dfs and a couple other programs but none of them were any help. I finally used an app from the market APN backup and restore on a friends EVO first to create the backup file sent thE file to my email so I would have it, then used that file to restore my EVO settings and wallah its working wonderfully , I can send and receive picture mail without having to open download links , I have that backup file if I can find a way to share it with you I will .
