Root FYI: YAS4 on xda working on mmsfix for VM

Has the WiFi issue been fixed?

On the XDA thread it looks like that is the main issue being worked on and should be ready soon. The VM mms fix sounds like a bonus which is nice, kind of a hassle to replace APN's and swap out framework-apk, etc.

Not a huge deal but don't like how the Sense 4 launcher doesn't have an Infinite scroll feature by default if a developer doesn't add a Tweaks style app (like Team Nocturnal's in Chubbz). Anyone reading this explain why the Sense 4 was made without infinite scroll? Is it just a casualty of the port to our phones? Seems silly.

Is there a specific roadblock that they've hit that someone can help with? Have you tried swapping the apns.xml from the system/framework/framework-res.apk file with an apns.xml from a Virgin Mobile Sense 3.6 ROM and then flashed to see if it took?
 
see now that is what I would like to try but I am not sure how to unpack and repack. don't have the knowledge yet. If someone wouldn't mind guiding me that would be something I would be willing to try for him and then providing him feedback. I think I may have led him down too many different paths. So things we have tried 2 different zip mms fixes and then I tried the galaxy sIII fix for vm which lets me send and receive but when I send they are forever sending even though the other person has received the mms. So I think we are close with the sIII vm fix but I dont think he has tried the one you suggested. My question is that he asked me to take the copy of the framework-res.apk that I pulled from my partially working mms and put it in place of a clean install of the framework-res.apk, when I did that the whole thing crashed but then again I was using the rom while doing the swap using root explorer. sorry for the long post and if I need to clarify in any way let me know.
 
So the best approach is to do this app and how do I extract the apns.xml from the. App to transfer it over to the other Rom?
 
I'm not the most proficient in using it myself but have a copy of the virgin mobile APN's (apns.xml) saved. Extract the framework-res.apk from the ROM and using the 7zip program (or similar program of your choice) select the the framework app and navigate to the folder res/xml/apns.xml. Replace the apns.xml with the copy of the virgin mobile one. Then an easy way to get them into the rom is to rezip the ROM files with your now modified framework-res.apk and flash as new.

I believe some people have posted ways to do this using adb commands but I like to avoid using that if possible.

When the ROM installs if it worked properly then the VM info should appear when you go into the messaging app/settings/mms.

My guess is since this is a port from a GSM created ROM, simply replacing the APN's will not be enough to get the MMS fully functional, other changes may need to be made to the build.prop or jar but at least is a place to start and go from there.
