I have MMS working on DCD's newest 3.1.2 ROM with the 3.39 Radio as well.
1. I installed the 3.39 Radio using the stock Sprint 3.39 Test ROM.
2. I installed DCD's 3.1.2 ROM using the kitchen with the Arcsoft OEM from DCD's 3.0.4 Kitchen cooked in.
3. I installed the Verizon Customization CAB
4. I added the string X-VzW-MDN with a value of my ten digit phone number to HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader in the registry.
5. I changes the MMS setttings to:
Server settings that need to change:
Gateway: "blank"
port: 80
Server address: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Sending Size limit: 300k
Now my MMS works fine.
Hope this helps people since for some reason everyone sort of skirts around this topic.
did u try MMS video? just seeing if yours is working ok. mine was working then it wasnt then it was...
There is a thread SPECIFICALLY for mms on 3.1.x. It was started to stop the crazy amount of posts in the kitchen thread and to thwart against tons of new threads like this. Please, from now on post in that thread to discuss ANYTHING to do with MMS on 3.1.x
Thanks

I found this thread very helpful, accurate, and concise. Thanks for your post. One quick question...did you use the previous Verizon .cab (with mms) or the new one posted on the 3.1.2 thread?

I used the new one with the 3.1.2 ROM
Thanks
Yes this fixed mine as well. Thanks for posting it.
You guys do know that there are other people out there on other carriers trying to get MMS working too? That's the reason for the dedicated MMS 3.1.x thread.
Also, you do realize that if you use the verizon carrier cab that I posted, with the MMS settings, and not the new one, that you don't have to go in and change anything in the server settings.
gcincotta maybe I found you. I have falshed my xv6800 w/ dcd 3.1.2 with the 3.39 radio and I installed the verizon cab. Everything is werking fine after the over the air prog. But the OS does not have the personal settings tab, there is no voice command, and there is no slide sounds settings. Can you please advise??? please...

MMS settings are different for each carrier. That's why it doesn't make sense to do your "collective MMS" thread.
Say i have verizon, i need to sort through tons of unrelated crap to find an answer. This thread is short, concise, and it works.
Please stop complaining.... If you have a CAB which does this for us. Than please post it.

This is not complaining, this is common sense. MMS settings are indeed different for each carrier, but if you actually read my posts you'd find that you do NOT have to touch your settings WHATSOEVER as long as you use the carrier cab WITH MMS settings. I do have a cab that does this for you, and if you took a minute to fill out a search box you'd find it ALONG with my instructions on how to make it work. All you have to do is enter your MDN key, which can be done using UC AUTOMATICALLY. As far as I'm concerned, this thread is pointless and clutter, as EVERYTHING stated in it has either already been said, or is moot.
If you search my posts you'll find that I help a LOT of people, and I love doing it, but when ignorance like this is thrown into the mix, it makes it a lot less rewarding.
Halkeye, shoot me a pm and we'll get your situation squared away asap. No reason to continue this thread, especially with off topic stuff.

Well i just did a search "Verizon MMS" it came back with this thread and your other thread and a bunch of useless threads (no i didn't look at every one, if it doesn't have a clear title no one will look at it) none of which have this CAB file your talking about. Regardless These instructions are great for people who have already run the DCD Verizon customizations and don't want to re-flash and then run your customizations. I still think this thread is relevant and again if you have this CAB i think it would still be useful to post it.
I will be posting complete instructions in the other thread along with the cab file.
i dont get it, what the difference between mms and sms...i can already send photo or video as txt message attachments, and the receiver gets them just fine...whats the advantage of sending an mms message?

that is an mms message.
so i take it you gave the custom roms another shot? did everything work out this time?
im sorry for the troubles you had before, im trying to incorporate something in my next version to prevent vz troubles like you had.
I have Verizion Wireless. I just installed BootLoader 2.40, Titan_Radio_ROM_3.42.30, dcd_titan_kitchen_3.2.2, and dcd Verizon Carrier 20080706.cab. I don't know if I was supposed to, but also did *228 option 1 to program my phone and *228 option 2 for updating roaming cababilities. The internet works fine on the phone and I can recieve text messages without any problems, but I can't make or recieve phone calls. Thanks for your help and time!!
Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it's saying you're not authenticated?
You need to call Verizon and have them authenticate you. It's normal when you go from stock to a GPS radio.
I go with gc14 on this one. Just had the same thing happen to me a while ago after just doing a hard reset...no update ROM, radio, or anything. Just hard reset and no more authentication...what a pain. lol
Oh, yeah. I listened again and that's what she said. OK, I'll call them tomorrow.
I even got my TomTom GPS software working. I didn't need to use any 3rd party software to get it working either like it said on the forums.
I even got Opera Java working, but I got some kind of message when I was installing the Java software saying that Sprint couldn't guarantee something. I don't remember the exact message, but I don't have Sprint, I have Verizon. Did I install the wrong ROM or something? Am I going to have problems now? Thanks!
How come everywhere I go now it thinks my phone is a Sprint PPC-6800, when it's really a Verizion XV-6800? I just went to Yahoo.com and it's calling my phone a Sprint PPC-6800. Is this going to cause any problems with my Verizon account? Thanks..
OK, I called Verizon this morning and they gave me a new A-Key, and I can make and receive phone calls now. I got a couple of other issues.
When I go to Messaging only Text Messages are their now and MMS Messages are missing. So, I can't figure out how to Send picture or video messages anymore. Before when I clicked on a pic it gave me the option of sending it via MMS and that option is now gone. Now, if I click on Send it takes me to, "Select an Account" but only Text Messages and Setup E-mail acount is there now. I don't know if the new version of WM6.1 handles MMS messages differently but I can't figure out how to send MMS text messages anymore. Am I missing something?
Also, I installed the v5 of the camera software and I can't figure out how to turn on the Flash. I've been messing with it, but can't figure it out.
Well, those are the only two issues so far, so hopefully somebody knows what's up and if I get them fixed I'll be really happy. Thanks everybody for all the help!!

I don't use text messages, so I can't be sure, but I think there are other links about text messages. You likely need to install a program. Try searching and let us know if you find it.
As far as the flash with v5 of camera, I think you are out of luck. My memory is there is no flash. There is a way of installing the old camera back without doing a hard reset. I just don't remember how to do it. You can try searching for this too. Again let us know if you find it. Hopefully someone else will be able to help more.
Yes, I think I found the solution, I did what it said and now it says SMS/MMS, but I haven't tested it yet. So, I'll see. I just need to know about the camera now. That's the only issue..

You really need to read through a whole ROM thread to understand all this, but there are so many little "Got ya!"s that the pay off is there. The Wiki is also a good place to start.
These three pages explain a lot of the issues:

If you read the details of DCD's stuff you find that the kitchen/rom does not contain anything network specific and you MUST apply the OEMizer tool afterwords. The link to the verizon one is right in the post. That will solve some of your issues.
Also DCD has explained that the updated camera software was ripped from a phone that does not have a flash therefore it is not supported in the software. If you want the flash, you need to downgrade.
Here is the updated link to Arcsoft. Works perfectly. The only defect I see is that incoming MMS show the phone number and the name in your contact. But when you reply as a text it comes back.

don't down grade just reflash a cooked rom with the version 4.05 something camera has a flash
Reflashing ver 4.05 when you'd installed ver 5 IS downgrading in my book

1st - The camera you used is version 5, to have the flash again you will need to re-cook a ROM with version 4.X....
2nd - For the latest MMS, use GC14's 5.0.31.25 cab of Arcsoft. The incoming MMS issue where the phone number is shown instead of your contact has been fixed. Find that cab here MMS 5.0.31.25
Yes, I've already read all of those links many times. I saw the information about the OEMizer. It said it was OPTIONAL. It doesn't really tell me what it is, or what it's for. Since this was the first time I ever installed a new bootloader, radio, rom and VZW cab, and didn't really know what I was doing, I didn't want to make it too complicated and overwelm myself. I still don't know what the OEMizer is, but I guess I can run it and see what happens. I need to make a new ROM anyways for the camera. I still have a few questions.
- What is the OEMizer for and is there someplace that explains it's settings?
- I can't find OEMizer in the Kitchen's Tool directory or any of the other Kitchen's directories. Where is it at? I did a search on the internet and couldn't find it.
- What is PagePool Changer? Is that something I need to use?
- Now I have the latest bootloader and radio installed in my phone already, can I make a new rom via the kitchen and just install it without having to worry about anything else?
- I guess I will still need to run the VZW cab file after I install a new ROM, but that should be it, right? Just those two things?
- I need a free registery editor. It looks like to upgrade to the latest Arcsoft MMS I need to edit the registery since I have an older version of Arcsoft installed right now.
- WM6.1 is grouping all my text messages together, which is great and I love it, but the only problem is sometimes I want to deleate one text message and it seems like you can't and you have to delete all the text messages from the same person. Is that true, or is there a way around it?
Thanks everybody again for all your help!!!

There is no need for any registry changes with my new version of Arcsoft. Uninstall the old one, then install the new one.
To use this, uninstall any version of Arcsoft you may have installed currently. Once it is fully uninstalled, check your registry and make sure there is nothing for Arcsoft under "HKLM\Software." Next, install this cab. Once it is done installing, check your registry under "HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader" and make sure X-VzW-MDN is set correctly with your phone number.

Yeah that was just for testing purposes originally...to make sure the previous one was completely uninstalled, then to make sure the new one installed correctly. It's been verified working though for a while.
Hi Everyone,
I'm pretty good at searching for my answers & 95% of the time i find them. but i cant seem to locate the answer to this question.
I can send or forward a text to 1 person at a time with no problem. but i cant forward or send the same text message to multiple people. when i do, only the first person receives the text & no one else... i am running dcd 3.2.5... i have also encountered this before with the other dcd roms...
does anyone have a solution to this?... PLEASE!!!!
You have to put a semi colon in manually before you add each name....
Name ; Name ; Name etc.....
Wouldn't it help you and the forum best to actually elaborate upon your issue in the title? Just a bland question is actually a lottery for trolling of hits on the thread. ...just my two cents..

I do know that the latest rom does not include the latest Arcsoft MMS software. I'm not sure if it effects anything. You definitely have to put the semicolons in between the names. If that fails and you want MMS... download and install the following.... Arcsoft MMS 5.0.31.25

I have the same issue and has nothing to do with semi colons. It auto populates them when you select another contact. Only the first person gets the sms. I posted this in the DcD thread tonight. I came across it this evening when I was trying to send multiple contact sms's tonight. Bummer, but I am sure there is a fix.
Mikee
So your saying with the latest Arcsoft from GC14 that you cannot send to more than 1 person???
You've installed something that is messing with the SMS.
Now in portrait mode I have no issues with selecting up to 16 people per SMS, and 10 in MMS. In landscape, I have to add the semi-colon after each name manually..... I am on 3.2.5 with the 3.42.50 radio.......

This works... now is there antway to have the semicolons entered automatically when sending a text to multiple people?
Well I founf a fix! quite simple. Go to start settings and input. select word completion and check all three boxes and now the semi colons auto populate. I forgot dcd disables this by default.
cheers,

try group sms
so has anyone played with the sms and "mms" on the new sprint treo pro? the sms is better and when a piture comes in it automatically downloads the file soo no stupid link to view your picture....
has ne one seen or improved there sms on the mogul to do that ???
thanks sorry I this is a question answered I tried lookn but sms get too many hits back000 =(
I have that MMS from the treo pro ported to my new TouchPro and coming from a Mogul I know how much that phone needs it, I don't know if it will install on one or not but you should hop over to ppcgeeks and search for arcsoft mms. Again, don't know if it is compatible with your phone or not but check it out.
thanks....
Let me preface this post by saying that I've been dealing with and looking for a solution for this for about a year. Basically, ever since I moved from iOS to Android, and I've not found a suitable solution to it yet. I've searched this forum diligently, googled for it and really just found a bunch of nonsense posts and unanswered questions or suggestion to install handcent or sms go pro. I'll say up front that I don't really want to do that. I like to style and smoothness of the stock messaging app.
Now, to the issue. What I constantly have issues with, across multiple roms and Android versions, is the ability to handle group mms, specifically from group mms where iOS initiates the group mms (if that has anything to do with it or not, that's the observation) or an iOS person is in the reply. Basically what happens is either the group mms ends up having download issues, where the initial mms or replied mms from a user in the group doesn't download and gets stuck downloading and never completes. I've had these issues with gingerbread, ics and now jb as well as across cyanogenmod, aokp, aosp and now aocp roms. I've tried flashing several modems as well as updating my apn settings several times, according to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576199 The thing is, once I update my apn settings to that, I can send and receive mms message, picture and video just fine. It's only ever group mms that causes the issues.
None of them seem to work well with group mms, and I'm beginning to think this is just an android thing. Now I don't want to get into an iOS/Android thing here, but basically what I'm wanting is group mms capability to just work on Android. I don't want to have to deal with the downloading messages, messages not coming through, or having to sit there with the mms open for 5 minutes while it downloads and finally gets around to displaying it.
Are there just known issues with android and group mms? Is group mms just a thing that apple and at&t have some trickery with? (me not knowing anything about group mms other than it just works in iphones) I just want some kind of answer like, "no, it doesn't work well on Android phones and others are having the same issue." Or perhaps, "no, you're just crazy and doing something wrong because group mms works flawlessly on my sgs2." Either way would give me a sold answer! :laugh:
Lastly, I will add that I have used go pro sms and it did seem to handle group mms much better. However, I prefer the look at feel of the stock app much better, hence why I prefaced this thread with that comment about not wanting to switch. I do realize that if there is a limitation of the stock app, I might be stuck, but to me go pro just feels clunky and cluttered. Thanks in advance for all the suggestions.
I feel the same way about go sms pro, it's clunky. What I've done for now is use a theme that's as close to stock holo as possible. Someday I'll get around to creating a theme that mimics the stock app. The popup notifications are pretty ugly to me in go sms pro, so I use "sms popup" for notifications - it uses the holo theme and is nice and slick.
Don't forget to set mms to auto-retrieve in the stock app. It does hang for sometimes, and sometimes may not download too. Also, the notification doesn't actually popup for mms messages, but it's there in the popup queue the next time I get a normal sms.
Kind of a convoluted setup and i wish it was just built in, but for its all we've got to deal with.
Sent from my SGH-I777
Thanks for the info. I might consider trying it again and seeing if there is a theme out that that looks nice, but from what I remember, all of the convoluted settings was another thing that put me off. I didn't like having to dig through settings to find a fix for something. Honestly, I'd just like the stock app to work, and I wasn't for sure if people were having my same experience or not, or if I was possibly doing something wrong. I'd appreciate some more opinions if possible.
I thought I'd post back here with a few results. I recently reinstalled Go Pro and tried it again. I still find the UI to be somewhat clunky but have used a theme that minimal and it's bearable. I have, however, had NO with mms messages since switching to it. It really has been pretty flawless. Furthermore, I upgraded to the newest version of AOKP which reset my APN settings. On the stock app, I'd always have to go back in and reset them to the ATT PHONE and ATT MMS settings per the thread I referenced earlier. I wouldn't be able to do anything with mms without settings that. Well, I didn't do that this time using Go Pro and I've had no issues with any mms messages. This just kind of confirms to me this has something to do with the stock messaging app, which is disappointing. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Latest Android 4.2 supports this btw.
