I have a Rogers X10a with X10i Generic 2.1 firmware.
I was in Japan earlier in September when I was still using 1.6 firmware.
Now I have debrand and updated the firmware to X10i Generic 2.1. I know I can make and receive calls and SMS and how can I send MMS with a Softbank prepaid SIM card?? Is there a app that can send the MMS or what do I need to configure??
thanks
anyone please?
Softbank MMS on X10 Eclair and Froyo
Lurker posting for first time from Japan... to mods: please edit or advise if needed
Must have some kind of data packet plan to use MMS, don't think prepaid works. I am using unlocked Docomo Xperia SO-1B (X10) with Jereplea and Zidzihu's factory rom with JIT on 2.1AOSP thread, Softbank network. Payment plans are Double White call plan and Packet-Houdai Flat data plan. There are 2 Jakemod mms.apks (Eclair and Froyo) links below.
For users with regular call and data plans, use adb or root explorer to push Jakemod11 mms.apk for Eclair into system/app folder. If your mms.apk has some other name like mms.apk.jakemod11, then rename to mms.apk first. For Root Explorer, you also need to choose and install that mms.apk from the system/app folder. Finally, go to settings in the new MMS message program installed and choose iphone 3.0 (others may work) as the Softbank User Agent.
Since I use a silver sim, my APN is opensoftbank.ne.jp (google for password etc) and just added 2 lines: MMSC: "h-t-t-p://mms/" (take out hyphens in http) and MMS PROXY: "sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp"
NOTE: I had to use a desktop to download the files then put to SDcard... then I moved apk to system/app folder and installed using Root Explorer.

I am using Xperia X8, and your suggestion worked also on X8 (Eclair):
1) update from 1.6 to 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825228 (russian)
2) rooting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906195
3) Jakemod11 MMS for Softbank (Eckair), above!
Nonetheless please let me add one more thing. Even with data traffic off, you can receive incoming mms messages, but sometimes miss them left in the server due to weak signal circumstances for example.
To avoid this you may be able to use
https://github.com/takuo/android_MmsReq/wiki (MMSReq),
which can be downloaded from the Market.
Cheers!

it's been mentioned here and there but when I was looking I would have appreciated if someone just put it all in one place. a reminder this is based on the work been done by arkedk in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824711
so all credit really goes to him I just wanted to make a special version for rogers users that walk them step by step because it's really easy if follow a good instruction
ok first you need to use root explorer having your device rooted you better know what that is or you shouldn't have rooted in the first place!
1) inside the root explorer go to system/default.prop
and change the following XXXX-XXXX in the following three lines from whatever number in there to this number: 1233-6929 (DON'T USE OTHER ROGERS CUSTOMIZED NUMBER BECAUSE THEY AREN'T WORKING THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKED FOR ME!)
ro.product.name=X10_XXXX-XXXX
ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/X10_XXXX-XXXX/X10i/es209ra:2.1-update1/2.0.A.0.497/8QFA:user/release-keys
ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX
2)for pc companion
type run in the search then enter,a window will open
enter the following line in it:
%programdata%\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\
and delete the folder inside(it's a folder with numbers as name)
for SEUS
type run in the search then enter, a window will open
enter the following line in it:
%programfiles%\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\
and delete the folder inside(it's a folder with numbers as name)
3)last step go to SEUS or pc companion update and they gonna show you how to get from there
QUESTIONS:
Q:is it only rogers customers can upgrade to this 2.1 from 1.6?
A:No it's like change region post it's x10a rogers 2.1 version simple!
Q:how to root?
A:search for z4root in the market it's one click root
Q:will I lose my data
A:yes use your backup and restore program + titanium backup pro to make sure you lose no data
Enjoy everyone!
For those people who already flashed to Nordic 2.1 or some other 2.1 version wish to flash back to Rogers 2.1
1. Make sure you have rooted your device.
2. Install RootExplorer from market.
3. Use RootExplorer and open the build.prop in Text Editor (build.prop file is located at /system)
4. Change the following XXXX-XXXX in the following two lines from whatever number to: 1233-6929
ro.product.name=X10a_1233-6929
ro.semc.version.cust=1233-6929
Save the file after you made the change.
5. Go to /etc/customization/settings and open "cust.prop" with Text Editor, and change the XXXX-XXXX in the following line to 1233-6929

Thanks for the instructions. I've sucessfully converted from Global Generic X10i to Rogers X10a. However, I had to make some changes before I got it to work. The first time I did it, it didn't give me an option to Repair or Install - just Exit.
Besides changing "ro.product.name" and "ro.semc.version.cust", I also changed the number in "ro.build.fingerprint" (which is also in build.prop) to 1233-6929. I also went and deleted the old firmware from the SEUS db folder, as stated in the original post.
I might as well say what "branding" it includes:
- Rogers splash screen on bootup. Now it's shown after the SE logo animation. It's kind of long, actually. I wish I had saved the old one (which was just the SE logo).
- Rogers "My Account" app is included. This app is also downloadable from the Market.
- "PlayNow" app has been replaced with "urMusic" app. This also appears instead of "PlayNow" in Mediascape.
- "Creatouch" app is still included (which is the only app in PlayNow that can't be downloaded from the Market, I think).
- Rogers APN settings are included and enabled by default. No need to manually enter them.
Hi all,
I'm creating a custom ROM series (for Android devices with 850/1900/2100mHz network frequencies, i.e, AT&T, Telus, Rogers and Telstra phones) and I need to know how to change the default APNs to the correct Telstra ones. Does anyone know how to do this?
Most devices have the option to add multiple apns for each device. Im not sure how to add default apns in the rom so the end user doesnt have to change them.

the most reliable way would be to pull the apns.xml file out of framework and replace/repack for each.
the apns.xml file is located in the framework-res.apk file, in the xml folder.
some will say that the apns-conf.xml file is needed to be replaced (think that's even how CM does it)... but i find that to not always work well.
replacing the actual file within framework, i've had 100% success on all ROMs, ports, etc... with MMS working perfectly
i can't speak for the Telstra in certainty... but if someone has a "stock" Telstra ROM, kang that framework and have at it!
hope this helps!

Sent from my HTC Desire with Tapatalk.
can someone help me out, if i open a downloaded rom on my desktop with winrar, click on "system" then on "app" scroll down to the mms.apk, can i remove that file and add a different mms.apk. When i do this will the mms.apk i placed in the folder be what gets flashed to my phone. I am currently using auxora 2.2 and its a great rom i tried eugenes gingerbread clone and i am at a loss becuase i am very partial to the stock vibrant mms app so if i could add the mms app that i downloaded to his rom and remove whats currently there.
any feedback is appreciated
thanks!
"salbanys" on twitter!
i asked this question last week here and the short answer is yes.
although its worked a couple times for me with different roms,i've been trying it on axura 2.2 (removing lots of apps i dont use) and now when i go to flash it, recovery says it can not open sd/axura22ve (bad). so i guess its yes and no.
if anyone has any hints on why it wont flash after editing, pleaase help. i delete all apk's in data/app and some stuff in system/app.
edit: i also move launcherpro.apk out of data/app and move it to system/app and delete launcher2.apk, is that doable?
Thank you for the reply I was trying to pull the mms file from auxora and. Add it to eugenes gb clone but when. I removed eugenes mms apk and added the auxora mms apk it wouldn't allow some failure in the zip file so I've been searching for a good post on using root explorer found one and followed but still no luck so if anyone reads this any help would be appreciated

Usually 1 app is connected to another one so its hard to tell if something else will or will not work without it.

Hi guys and gals. after many attempts, i have working cricket mms on my evo 3d
So... you root and research a good custom rom for you. You flash it, all goes well, it looks cool, feels nice you are on top of the world... (like I was) then you find your mms does not work...
here you go
1. make sure you have es file explorer downloaded
2. open your es file explorer
3. go to settings and select Root settings
4. check all the boxes and grant for superuser
now you are looking at the files on your sd card
5. click the "slash" icon on the top left
now you are looking at the whole phone
6. scroll down and select "system"
7. scroll down and select " build.prop"
it will ask you which program to use. I used the es note editor
NOTE you will be changing the build properties of you rom from sprint values to Cricket values
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!!!
9. scroll down slowly you will see ro.build.fingerprint=Sprint
delete Sprint and change it to cricket
10. scroll down about 1/2 of the way down and you will see additional build properties
you will be looking for 4 lines
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=(change to 310016)
gsm.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
gsm.operator.numeric(change to 310016)
and about 3/4 fof the way down
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=(change to Cricket)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=(change to 310016)
back out and SAVE
REBOOT TWICE!!!!!!!!
11. now go into you es file explorer again this time to system
12. select etc
13. scroll down to a file called apns-conf.xml
delete it!
download this one and edit it with your phone number with notepad+ on your computer
edit the second one, not the value 45
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mqixefjs829t7jg/apns-conf.xml
put the file on your sd card and copy it to your system/etc folder
REBOOT TWICE!!!
16. using the voice dialer say "open apn"
17. delete the one you see
18. select reset to default
now you should see 2 apns and a little circle beside both
click the circle beside "cricket"
REBOOT TWICE AND WAIT FOR THE SYSTEM TO CATCH UP
download this mms.apk (this is not mine.. i found it for the evo 4g somewhere)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/iq42wk65ifolv8u/Mms.apk
using es file explorer, delete your old mms.apk under system/apps
remember, you have to mount es as root rw every time you reboot
roboot and move the new mms.apk to the system/apps and install
next reboot
go back into es file and (set root rw again)move to the new mms.apk.
long press it and chose permissions.
set your permissions like the screenshot in at the bottom
this has been proven on my evo3d
NOTE. if you are a flashaholic, you will store the mms.apk and the apns-config.xml on your sd card so you can do this with every flash
if this helped you, press the thanks button please!!!
I use cricket and I have never changed the build.prop to get mms working. I change the apn and if it is a jellybean rom the mms.apk.
do you know how to fix mms on htc evo 3d with virgin mobile?

why the hell hasn't more people been to directed to this thread with unbeatable mms problems with cricket just changing apn settings DOES NOT WORK for alot of cricket users.
Edit: guess i shoulda seen that it was done on a evo3d as it didn't work for my evo 4g i shoulda known when two lines were missing from the build prop. as soon as i got to the voice dialer with the apns there were no apns listed and hitting reset to default brough nothing. back to the battery sucking no blue tooth everything cricket rom. Ive tried litterally hundreds of roms and mustve edited apns 1000 times and still cant get mms to work except for one rom.
The mms.apk was found on a evo 4g site somewhere. Maybe there is something else. Or maybe it was a 4g LTE. I don't remember now, but I know it will not work on stock versions of sprint ROMs. I tried.....

I am new to T-mobile (previous Sprint user) and from what I read on T-mo there is a 10 recipient cap on MMS group messages. I found a way around this limit by replacing SecMms_blue.apk with the apk attached. The apk is located in \system\priv-app. Make sure to make a backup of your original before you override just in case. Root access is required to mount \system as read/write.

I pulled the APK from that rom. I am going to try to modify further to remove the MMS size limit, but I have had no luck yet. I am not sure if another file has to be modified to accomplish this. Gotta do more research. I am a long time Android user, but I am just good at following instructions no dev skills.

I'm pretty sure all the custom roms on here have this implemented. I guess this would be good on stock rooted. Still a good find
