That would also explain why my battery % was lost after flashing it.

I are smart haha

Did they really block tethering on the APN's? Because I'm tethering fine on the epc.t-mobile.com APN that is set by default using CM9..

this work with sense 4.0?
This is for the official tmous update, or roms based on the official update that contain the stock framework only.

Short answer: no.

Yes, please read op regarding hidden apns...
Also, they are monitoring from the carrier end and may block you if you use it too much for free...

This does not apply to elegancia. That's already unlocked with a different framework...
So there's no benefit if I flash this over elegancia? Do I just leave the rom alone then? I installed this mod on elegancia 3.0.0. Sorry for all the questions. Just making sure I got the right setup thanks. :D

Has anyone used this MOD on Sense MIUI v4? The first time I tried to do it I had a bunch of systemui errors

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your quick reply. I'm interested in this mod because I was having trouble tethering without the upsell page showing up denying me tethering services even on MIUI v4.

Even the deodexed file that you posted cannot be used on MIUI? Someone had posted that it can be theoretically used on AOSP and AOKP earlier. Is that incorrect?

Download odexed version to SD
Factory reset in recovery
Flash .zip
Reboot

APN mod on AHRD 1.2.0

in case anyone using AHRD 1.2.0 had any issues , i figured i post my results.
first i patch deodexed apn mod over my 1.2.0 with my mods installed & fact. reset- it was shutting phone down , ie. it would boot up then screen would go black un responsive and had to battery pull.
Then with support from GROGG88 (thanx) i re-flashed 1.2.0 no mods , patched deodexed apn fix, fact. reset- then installed my mods,- custom lockring, beats mod, 4X5 Rosie workspace, Volume to wake.
All is working flawlessly wifi tethering without tmo pay up prompt:victory:

just my 2 cents

Sorry if this dumb question, I understand steps but "factory reset" in recovery(4ext) or bootloader(I believe there's an option here too, right?)?

Just thought i'd let you guys know that if you superwipe and reinstall your rom for one reason or another, you can just install the apn fix before first boot and you won't need to factory reset.

Both options lead to the same place. (which is 4ext) :)

    whats the difference between your MOD and the APN unlock already built-in to a few ROMs, I see that you plainly elaborated the NO, they are not the same, but was unwilling to further distinguish them in the elegancia thread.

    If happen to have a moment, I would greatly appreciate any information your willing to discuss on your own thread.

    that's the post that has prompted my curiosity.

    I will gladly discuss it here... Both Elegancia 3.0.0 and version B of my rom are using resources from 3.32.401.105 in order to achieve two functions:

    1. Unlock APNs

    2. Provide leedroid tweak compatibility

    The only problem with this is the fact that they are no longer "true tmous builds". I refer to them as "franken-builds"... I have not gone through all the differences between framework-res, systemui, framework.jar, services.jar, etc... but I can tell you that certain small bugs have been reported with the xe build that others have reported as fixed in the official tmous version.

    The APNs are written to apns.xml within the framework-res.apk. This is why we used XE components to unlock the APNs at first. You can distinguish what roms are built this way by the framework version:

    TMOUS: 20120412.202737

    XE: 20120321.232857

    My unlocking mod is the stock TMOUS framework-res.apk, but it has the apns.xml from XE. This ensures that the rest of the rom stays in tact and that no bugs will be induced by mixed resources... I've also included this mod as an option during install on version A of my rom. :)

    These won't work on any other ROM besides stock and steve0007's roms?

    GROGG can post to tell for sure but the deodexed version is for custom ROMs so in theory it should work on AOSP and AOKP ROMS as well. A stock ROM will be odexed, but custom ROMs are usually deodexed.

    The odexed version will work on a factory 3.32.531.14 rom. It will also work on any stock based rom that are NOT deodexed (I don't know of any).

    The deodexed version will work on any deodexed factory based 3.32.531.14 rom. This will include Steve0007's deodexed stock rom, and it should also work on ARHD 1.1/1.2... It could also work on others, but if any mods or themes have been applied to the framework it will wipe them out!

    I have submitted this for the add-on section of ARHD...
