I can't believe this hasn't been stickied but this is how to apply the APN Settings to most ROM's that are Android 4.0+. Most ROM's have this information already baked in, some do not. I created this little tutorial not only for people that are new to this, but also for veterans who need a quick reference for the actual settings. Can we please get this Stickied?

APN Settings for MMS

1. Goto Settings
2. Under Wireless & Networks select "More..."
3. Select "Mobile networks"
4. Select "Access Point Names"
5. Press the Setting soft key
6. Select "New APN"
7. Select "Name" and enter "Verizon" and select "OK"
8. Select "APN" and enter "internet" and select "OK"
9. Select "MMSC" and enter "http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms" and select "OK"
10 . Press the setting softkey
11. Select "Save"
12. In the APN screen select your new "Verizon" APN
13. Finished

Something else you may add to this, the method of updating towers when you can't use a keyboard. That might be handy also.

okay guys, I have tried doing this and it kicks me out of APN back to the settings page. Every time. I have switched to phablet mode to stock and everything in between to try and be able to enter these settings. Is there anyway possible to do this without getting into the APN?

If you are looking for rom specific help you need to ask in that thread. I'm assuming you are trying pacman. I believe it has been addressed there already. But be sure you are hitting menu and save and not just backing out.

I believe someone mentioned a way to fix that. Something to do with clearing and rebooting maybe. Still this isn't the right thread for trouble shooting that rom. We don't want to clutter this thread with rom specific issues. Recheck that thread.

I'm on my way to work right now but it you don't find it ask in that thread and I will see if I can help later.

Goto post #526 in Paranoid/Pac thread and start there. I personally never had that problem with PA, or PAC.....but I have gone back to Psycho's Build 4 because I don't like the apps baked into PA and PAC....

    hi, i am in the process of searching for a fix but so far haven't come across anything for this case. am running CM10.1 with 4.2.2 on a vzw s3, rooted and unlocked. i installed the apn data (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044449) but still when i go to more settings -> mobile networks there is nothing about APN anywhere ...

    any clue about this ?

    I'm not sure if this will help anyone else out (or has already been posted), but here are the latest APN settings from a Galaxy S7 Edge:

    Name: Verizon Internet
    APN: VZWINTERNET
    MCC: 311
    MNC: 480
    APN type: default,dun,supl
    APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
    APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
    Mobile virtual network operator type: None

    All other values “Not set”.
