Root [Virgin Mobile] cm10 - 4G, Wifi, MMS(3g), and Gallery/Video Working

After countless hours of tweaking Chairshot's cm10 for Virgin I've managed to get 4G, Wifi, and MMS(3g) to work with no problems or reboots. The system has about 800mb free space so backups are only 270mb with TWRP 2.6.3.0. I don't want to post a link until Chairshot gets back to me and says it's cool. As soon as that happens I'll be more than happy to post a link to download. Yeah you right!

Boot into TWRP 2.6.3.0 and wipe cache, dalvik-cache, data & system and flash cm10(gapps included). To make MMS work just change the Network mode to 3g (Freeze cm10mms.apk and restore Conquest 9 8mms.apk app/data and mms will work)
I also attached Fancy Widget.apk if anybody wants to have the same clock as in the screenshots. Enjoy! Everything should work 100%. I wiped my phone and installed 3x's to make sure. Convert google search to user app. Wifi should now work with no reboots. Yeah you right!

Thanks to Chairshot for letting me post the downloads:

Recommend keeping an eye on this thread over in the S3 forums for the possibility of MMS over LTE. They are hard at work on a fix and it should be trivial to port it over to our phones (same APNs anyway) when it is working. There have been a few reports of success with the current fix #1 but not everybody reports success.
 
Go for it, curious though at what point you started with he code. On github had recently updated to the MG5 Kernel and patched it up from 3.031 to 3.037 thanks to my EVO Kernel Guru mrg666, added Kernel based mpdecision and a back-port of ASOP Interactive from the Google 3.4 Kernel. Had a few other things like some updated drivers I had been testing and was thinking of releasing a stock version. Have not had time to work on an entire Rom so figured just maintaining a Kernel with occasional updates may be more realistic. Otherwise still had a few ideas for MP3, BT and GPS. Let you know if anything comes from it.

I used latest gapps. Which ones did you use?
 
was a bit confused since it had gmail and play store already didnt think gapps was needed but lotta stuff crashing so thought i would try i think i had one from 2011 ill check phone and post back .
 
I just dl'd 10/11/2012 gapps. Gonna try that.
Didn't even look at it first to see if gapps was needed. Just assumed. Guess I should have checked.
 
I am about to check this out as well. I was waiting for something like this to happen, and even better now we have more options for the Victory :)

Edit: oh and you mean you used the newest version of gapps from cm 10 right?
seems like a stupid question but you can never be too thorough when posting instructions online ;)

Just to be helpful: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps
The last version released for cm10 was on 10/11/2012
 
So far so good. 4G is working great, still have to install all of my apps and test them. I couldn't get mms working at all, but I hardly use mms anyways so that wont keep me from testing this for a while.

I think right now network mode has to be set to 3g for MMS
 
OK Bluetooth not working but flashing my fix makes it turn on and see other devices but I left my blue tooth at home so not sure if it actually works can someone test ?
 
Do we have a working external to internal method now? I tried the app but it didn't seem to take, even changed the paths to the sdcards to the correct ones for cm10.
