Root [Boost Mobile] Official Carbon KitKat Nightlies Are Here!!

Are you using Hangouts or the stock messaging app?


I tried both to no avail. I also tried 8sms which got mms working but only on wifi. So far the only app that works is what's app. In case it matters, I'm running your debloated version of kitkat carbon on baseband L710VPUCMK3. Kernel version 3.4.77-cyanogenmod-g75b35d6 carbonev@thing-2#1.

There is a really nice messaging app replacement called EvolveSMS, it has a lot of APN's built in, including those for Virgin Mobile and Boost. Free in the Play Store, but with in-app purchases to expand the theming possibilities. Highly recommended. I've been using it very heavily for the past couple of weeks with no real issues in terms of sending and receiving MMS.

Chompsms also has the ability to set your own proxies. :D
 
Did as you suggested but mms still not getting thru with cdma 3g on my phone. Guess I'll keep using what's app til you or someone comes up with a solution. Thanks and good luck.


Sorry I left out you have to set your apn for mms also so you need an app like chop or 8sms or even go sms

If you look on wetbikers working ROM /mod thread one you go to the asop section or might be a little lower than that in miscellaneous but it's a link to how to fix your mms and what our mms apn and proxy is

I think it's http://mm.myboostmobile.com
Port is 80
Proxy is 68.28.31.7
 
Just a heads up guys.... I just flashed Carbon and did not have to make any changes to the APNs or ANYTHING! SMS and MMS worked right after my 1st flash. WOOOHOOO!!

This is awesome! Did you flashed one of Struckn's modified carbon or the original? Anyhow, thanks for pointing out Chompsms. I got MMS to work on 4g lte. I'm good to go. Thanks all.

I flashed the original and removed the asserts myself. 2/4/14 nightly.
 
Getting my Carbon on people. I am loving this ROM. It's running smooth as can be and I'm glad I finally made the change over to it. Whoop Whoop! :D:p

Carbon server is back up and running, with a new nightly for 2/9!! They have added an international server as well, so you will see "USA" included as part of the file name now.
 
How do I perform a profile update in this?

That is a TouchWiz (stock) feature, not available on AOSP ROM's. You will need to temporarily revert to a backup of a stock-based ROM (if you don't have one, you really should, just for a "rainy day"), or download and install something like Wicked Sensations, MOAR, or the stock/Knox-free from @jdsingle76.

Thanks! Also do I need the Boost APN fix as well? because I get 3g but very splotchy, where I know I should be getting 4G.

Want to share it because when I go to the site I don't see any builds under download for d2spr. You probably where already running the ROM right though and just updated through the rom

No, I do all my downloads to my computer from the Carbon website. Scroll to the very bottom of the download page for d2spr. Let me know, if you still don't see it, I certainly have no problem uploading my copy!

Give DevHost a try, that's what I have been using.

Thanks. Will do. I usually use Media Fire but there a 200mb limit. Some of these ROMs will fit but not to chance for a TW ROM. LOL.

Going to check DevHost now. Thanks again bro. :thumbup:

512 MB limit on DevHost, but I don't upload any TW ROM's, so no issue. Media Fire has this deceptive thing too, where they pop up another tab/window that prompts "Your download is ready" and the "download" is actually spam, not the actual file you intend to download. That file is "ready" on the original webpage. Very shady, my understanding is that the deceptive download is borderline malware.

Hmmm, must be something new they've started doing. Never had it happen to me yet. You've gotta watch a few of these sites too because they will download MoboGenie with your download. Seen that a few times. I just go to the DL folder and DELETE that puppy. lol

Uploading to DevHost now. Thanks for the heads up.
 
Bikers copy of Carbon made a believer out of me. I restored my backup of stuckn 's original and dirty flashed Bikers. I wiped Cache and Dalvik.

This 0204 carbon is much better then the 0207 CM11. I feel so fickle.

I went to the Carbon site on my phone and looked for a newer build but it would not display any builds.

Using the stock browser. It shows the device list on the left, but if you select one, no files appear.

I don't think that the update option from the ROM works either, but not sure.

They are really adding features to this ROM at a fast pace.

Update option is still a WIP. I am uploading my 2/9 copy as we speak, will post in a minute. So far, very first nightly, 2/4 build, and now 2/9 are all worth flashing based on the changelogs.
