Root [MMS] Possible Fix?

I would assume but not 100% I have never been a big fan of updating PRL's, however Triumph users did it all the time and had no issues with my ROMs. Also I don't have any plans to run S-Off unless I need to for some reason. I personally like the fail safe brick option on the phone :) My plan is to stick with as close to stock ROMs as I can like the Triumph and remove as much bloat as possible. Right now I am rewriting agraben's device files to be more inline with the virgin mobile version of the Evo and hope to kick off my first build tonight.

G60 ...welcome dude! All due respect (and I mean that). Please follow Leslie Ann's fix everything thread and "own the phone". Eng-hboot is very flexible. The prerequisite Juopunutbear S-OFF is a rite of passage. Harmonia is a very polished ROM and I am sure you will quickly appreciate the time and effort LA has put into it. You will have to put some thought into Sense vs. Non-Sense ROMS, and knowing you , I'll be willing to bet that at some point you will progress versions of both. Welcome aboard G60, woot!
 
I used the stock mms.apk in the build. Set the apn manually using voice dialer "open apn's".

All I did was bake the CdmaSMSDispatcher in from this rom.
 
i noticed on that links of triumph roms there's a cm10 unofficial, do you know if the MMS on that one works, because assuming this works on cm9 roms, it can be made to work on cm10 roms, right?

Just an fyi you can only use aosp roms with the eng hboot, which requires s-off.

I am guessing, I will try and get a ROM built tonight and see what we get. I may also roll with a CM9 ROM as well, but currently have the cm10 source down. First need to prove the fix even works before we get to excited. I am just guessing it will work as it did for two other VM phones. Here is hoping :thumbup:

Cool looks like I will be doing this next :D thanks for the info!




Waste of a donation

Its never a waste of a donation. Any dev that spends the time to work on a ROM is taking on a load of problems, headaches and lots of time and hours to fix and test to hopefully help benefit the community as the vendor fell short. When working on Triumph we got well over $600.00 in donations but not one dime was put in anyone's pocket. We purchased 3 used dell workstations and 5 dev phones all at a 50/50 split with dev and donation money. Not all dev Team's work that way but that was my goal of Team MTDEV, by the community for the community. I will still carry that same mindset here with the Evo!

I believe all aosp ROMs need s-off with an hboot lower than 1.5.
 
I'm looking at the CM10 over at XDA. Seems like the fixes you suggested are already there. I'm very confused. Also, I'm pretty sure this is for recieving MMS, which we have already accomplished. I'm unsure of where sending is handled, but if I did, I could look at the Optimus/Triumph files and check out if there are any differences with aosp evo v roms.

CM10 Gangnam Style CdmaSMSDispatcher (not edited. formatting is different than those cm7/9 roms, but it does the same task...i think)
Code:
 int[] arrayOfInt;
              byte[] arrayOfByte;
              if (localSmsMessage.getOriginatingAddress().equals("9999999999"))
              {
                Log.d("CDMA", "Got a suspect SMS from the Virgin MMS originator");
                try
                {
                  arrayOfInt = new int[1];
                  arrayOfByte = getVirginMMS(localSmsMessage.getUserData(), arrayOfInt);
                  if (arrayOfByte != null)
                    break label512;
                  Log.e("CDMA", "Not a virgin MMS like we were expecting");
                  throw new Exception("Not a Virgin MMS like we were expecting");
                }
                catch (Exception localException)
                {
                  Log.e("CDMA", "Got an exception trying to get VMUS MMS data " + localException);
                }
              }
              else
              {
                m = dispatchNormalMessage(paramSmsMessageBase);
                continue;
              }
              Log.d("CDMA", "Sending our deflowered MMS to processCdmaWapPdu");
              int n = processCdmaWapPdu(arrayOfByte, arrayOfInt[0], "9999999999");
              m = n;

Interesting, I know progmas who solved RIL and also 3G on the Triumph CM9 using TickerGuys fixes submitted this to CM Team to update. I know they added it in CM7 and then removed it, and I have never seen it in CM9 at least 2 months back. I'll check it out when I get closer.
 
If you can get Mms working, I will send you a hand carved statue of me wrestling a bear.. lol I know everyone would be ecstatic about it.. all I remember is JMZ saying he could get Mms working for all the other phones he has deved for. Said our phone is different because of wimax.. I have my fingers crossed you can solve the problem.. Speaking of JMZ I just found a page where he is doing Evervolv for our phone, did anybody even know about this.. Directory listing of http://androidfiles.org/uploads/Shooter/Evervolv/Nightlies I know hes been working with prelude Drew to get 4.2 going, I'm assuming.. Anyways glad somebody is taking to the time to work on this..

I'm not complaining because we all talked about the potential pitfalls of donating a phone before we even opened the thread. As far as this evo v forum goes, in my eyes it was a waste.

I respect devs, and I more often then not show this through donations. I don't respect hissy fits.

I remember him saying mms fix for sense 4 was not possible and then some guys showed it was possible then he closed his sense 4 thread and left without saying anything.
 
I tend to agree. He has some Evervolv nightlies, but I haven't tried any of them.

Kanging is bad, but so is being overly sensitive.

I still don't see why everyone freaks out about "stealing" open source code. It is open source isn't it?
 
enough with the inter-dev-poli sci,
i've tried many ways to get mms, tried the apn xml out of the working triumph cm10 framework.apk into a non working one, tried, the build.prop, tried the MMa.apk, tried the smali code, there has to be something we are overlooking
