Anybody know how to get MMS working on Viper3D?

Great Sense 4 Rom... but no MMS... 3D picture/video taking does NOT work, but 3D movie watching DOES.

Everything else is zippy and smooth running with Anthrax kernel
 
There isn't a way its weird, why don't you try the sense 4.1 Rom that's out its great and I have mms working on that it has tweaks and stuff in my opinion better then viper
 
Theres a Viper w/ sense 4.1 that was released on Anthrax-kernels.us. Fast and smooth but I need 4G and MMS.

If you would post whatever solution you have that would help the community. Trying to do support via pm doesn't help anyone else with that problem later on

Sorry, wasn't thinking straight :P Here's the guide, be wary, you will have to wipe your data!

I know how to get it working. Just letting you know in advance- you'll need to go on an epic journey of epic proportions, decompile, recompile, sign, edit countless xmls, and deal with command line tools. Or... just push the file that I linked to :p

After downloading the file, do the following. (note- have ADB set up! It's pretty easy, and it helps with countless things)

Open up an ADB shell, and enter this

Code: 
adb remount system
adb shell
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
*don't copy this bit here- make sure you're out of the adb shell before proceeding!*
adb push *location of my framework-res.apk* /system/framework
adb reboot recovery

Remember- enter line by line. When you get into recovery after typing in the last line, do a FULL factory reset. Not just cache, a full data/dalvik/cache wipe. Unless you do, it WILL bootloop repeatedly. Reboot back into Android, it may take a while, be patient. If it doesn't boot after ~5-10 minutes, pull the battery and try again. If it doesn't boot then, let me know.

Anyway, after this, you should have working MMS on Sense 4! Let me know if you want to know how I built the APK!

Download for APK: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/75805861/framework-res.apk

Also, if you are curious about how I managed to get that file, I took the apns.xml found in framework-res.apk (/res/xml) from the stock VM image, and put it in this one. Works like a charm! ^_^
 
I don't get the instructions there...you're supposed to exit the adb shell, but then you're supposed to push files with adb? How does that work?
 
Sounds confusing I do it a different way that works but I haven't tried it on viper 4.1 anyways it does work on chubbz 4.1 over at XDA anyone wants the fix msg me

Just talked to Jmz, apparently he's tried this before and it didn't work on his ROM... I know for a fact this works on Chubbz' Sense 4/4.1 port on XDA (Evo 3D forums), since I personally have tried it on both versions.

As for the APK, no, I can't guarantee it'll work. They probably have different bases (Viper3D and Jmz's) and Viper includes a bunch of different tweaks, I'll bet there are some differences in the APK.

Ok, thanks for the reply, guess im going to have to test Chubbz' Sense, see how it acts on my phone, you think you could make a zip file to flash with the fix for mms on chubbz sense, or that's impossible? thanks for any help you could bring to us.

Which one? His Sense 4 or 4.1 build? I'd assume 4.1, but just making sure :p And I can try... I'd suggest learning ADB though- it's a very useful tool to have.

Yeah his 4.1 :) , Im willing to learn ADB, will search for a good tutorial, i tried to do your steps but to be honest i didn't understand nothing, im surprised i got this phone rooted, with s-off, hboot 1.04 and turn it to a evo 3D lol.

Sorry I missed your quote. I meant as in get out of the shell. You can close the window if you want and reopen it again, just get out of the shell in which you do filesystem operations.

Alrighty. Working on it! Keep in mind that I'm not going to be able to test this- I need a steady build for the next few days (school), so I'm actually sticking to the VM stock rooted build.

Try this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/75805861/Chubbz-Sense41-VM-MMS-fix.zip

Also, just letting you know- I'm not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone! You do this at your own risk! This does require a full factory reset, do that after you flash this. Back your stuff up! Also, I'm just starting out with this stuff, so no guarantee this works :p

I just tried flashing the fix thru recovery, but installation was aborted, i appreciate you helping out.
 
I just tried it like you said with signature verification enabled and disabled, but on both modes it aborts installation.
 
I just tried the MMS fix on Chubbz's ROM using ADB, and it works! Thanks heythereitsv. Now if only 4G would work on this ROM, it would be a match made in heaven. :)
