MMS ROMS FOR EVO 4G

Now in order for picture message to work you will need to be rooted, but for talk, text, and web you're fine running stock rom.

On another note since I am now evo 4g on vm, I plan on making a patch for just about every rom here.

You'd have to do it for every individual build, since the framework.jar is always different.

I know this says Evo 4G, I have the shift. Now, I'm trying to get 3G working, which is a slight pain in the rear. I have my HA and AAA Keys all pulled from my OV. I write them with DFS, and no 3G populates. A couple questions that I have...

1) Removed after re-reading first post. Derp.

2) Will the stock sprint apps perhaps mess with my settings?

3) When I open up DFS, I see a few different options that have my AAA key in them...Namely under Programming > Data, the ones that populate my key are:

PPP, which has a spot for Auth, UID, and PWD;
HDR AN, which has a spot for NAI and PWD;
HDR AN LONG, which is UID and PWD;
HDR AN PPP, which has a spot for UID and PWD;

Do all of those need to be filled out? If so, what goes where? I have talk/text working, and if I can get this to work...I can deal without MMS/possibly use GoSMS as an alternative (I've read that it recieves MMS even when flashed. Can't confirm/deny it, though.)

Thanks for all your help that you guys have given me so far, I greatly appreciate it!

Edit: Thought of another "What If." If I left the Open Sesame Door folder on EFS, would that hinder me getting data to work by any chance, do you think?

Edit 2: By the way, I tried removing the keys from those fields I mentioned previously, however it keeps them there.

I usually use qpst service programming to write my AAA keys. I rarely have problems. Make sure you select hex and don't mix up your ha and aaa keys.

Hey guys I know this is a little off topic but I have an extra evo I might want to sell in the next few days. The thing is it has no charge port but it's fully flashed to boost. It has the 15 dollar a month data plan and it's set up to use apps to make phone calls and text messages. If anyone wants it pm me and I'll also send the donor phone.

So, after much delay due to errands, this is what I came up with...see attachment below, I think I've done everything right. Any tips/pointers?

Note: If I try to delete any of the AAA keys, it usually puts it back on its own. So, I'm lost.

That's about right that should get you a solid 1x/3g connection.

Hmm...still no go....I'm so perplexed by this. When I pulled my AAA keys from my donor, it was 32 characters. How many characters is it supposed to be?

Edit: Could the PRL I'm using perhaps be a cause of this? If so, what PRL SHOULD I be using?

Alright, so here's what I did, in case someone can catch what I did wrong here:

Step One: OV was activated, so I then took AAA key from it.

Step Two: Deactivated OV, activated Triumph (Donor since it had broken screen)

Step Four: (no step 3, due to questionable things) I then put the AAA key that I pulled from my OV into the Shift. No go, though. My question is: Could that have anything to do with it? Since my OV was the AAA key donor, but is not active? If so...that's a quick fix on my part and I'll feel stupid >.>

Yes, you need to change the PRL.



Also, I haven't been patching the AOKP roms because after 2 days or so the phone becomes extremely unstable, by day three, it's almost unusable. The MIUI patched rom (which I like) does the same after 3 and 4 days (not sure why it goes an extra day). I have been using my mms patched Harmonia 2.06 VM Evo 4G based on the official CM7 RC1 which is rock solid. It's not the most current compared to nightlies, but like I said, absolutely rock solid. I would still kill for a patched Mik rom.

I def saw the same on aokp but miui4 runs like a champ. I am going to do the latest build of cm7 specific for vm soon too.
