I found this solution on the cm7 forum for the htc evo stable mod, thanks to atyler, (forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/19827-mms-not-sending-with-cm7-rc4/[/url]).

Since upgrading to CM7 RC4 from RC2, I haven't been able to send any MMS messages. I select a photo to send via Messaging from my gallery and hit send, but it doesn't send. If I exit from the person I'm trying to send to and go back to them, the photo and message are sitting there not sent. I'm using the standard messenger that comes with CM7 and do not have Google Voice set to do texting. Anyone else having this issue or know something I can try to fix this? Thanks!
atyler responded:
I had the same problem on 2 different versions of CM on 2 separate phones. This fix worked both times. Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write). Navigate to:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone. After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.
It worked for me!
I'll second this....had the MMS issue on any GB ROM....tried this fix and it immediatelu worked fine. I will add that I DID NOT delete the original telephony just renamed it OLD_telephony.db and rebooted. Same net effect but kept the original file out of an abundance of caution.
Awesome, couldnt figure out how to fix this, thanks
I use the one click flash here for GB, and im loading a sense based rom now and I will try this and see if it works for it .
and good point on the rename in case of fail..
Thanks
don't work with me

I got that too today when I was trying to send a pic to another TMO subscriber, I send it to ATT and it went through fine, try resending to TMO, and get the error.
Just tried resending it, and the error. I compiled a new MMS with the same pic to the same subscriber and it went through
I am having this same issue. When ever I try to send an mms I get that error. I am running one of masters 2.2 roms, but I have tried other 2.2 roms and I have gotten this same error. But when I flash back to my nandroid of a 2.1 rom the error goes away.

FIXED that Error on my phone
NEVERMIND: ONLY WORKED BRIEFLY THAN BACK TO SAME PROBLEM.....
I had same problem with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF with picture messaging otherwise MMS.
This fixed it perfectly for me:
Go to your main menu settings.
Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.
Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"
Exit back to main screen.
Now open messaging.
Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.
While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,
only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".
Click it & exit.
Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.
Hope it helps some of you all out.
I just flashed today the axura 2.0.5, I am also having this same issue.
But this does not happen if the txt message has no picture attachment.
This is the only issue I have with the axura rom
I think I will have to go back to 2.1 if I can find a fix to this issue
The only way I have found to send an mms is to actually type the phone number I am sending it to. If I try to send an mms to one of my contacts then I get the error message. It is pretty anoying
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ditto axura 2.0.5. No MMS. Have tried every answer I could find but NG. Hope there is a fix soon.
***NEVERMIND: ONLY LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS BUT FRIENDS DONT RECEIVE THE ATTACHED PICTURE ONLY THE TEXT. f**K IT i GIVE UP. Just going to have to wait for a better ROM or newer froyo build or something. Frustrated but its ok. Whatever.
Below is for informational use only as it it still did not fix issue:
I eventually pulled the mms.apk from Obsidian V3 ROM. It is the AOSP mms version Team Whiskey modified to work with (android 2.2) & Obsidian in that release version. I also changed the icon to the touchwiz messaging icon to keep the look instead of the greem messaging icon. I will post the file later tonight for anyone interested. It does work fine for me. Tested several times using it in Obsidian V4.2 ULF.
You will simply have to close your current messaging application, clear data than use root explorer to delete the existing mms.apk in your system/app/ section and paste the one I'm using. Will have it posted after I get off work today. At least I have normal functionality this way.
Error in server response - axura ROM
Also using Axura 2.0.5
I been trying all kinds of get around. I nstalled handsent app , using a different mms app doesn't fix the issue. It worked only once , then error in server response again!
tried typing the tel number to send the mms, still error, very annoying.
And if I go back to 2.1 I can send out mms
Feelx77,
if you can post your solution with an installation procedure , alot of us will be happy
Heres the AOSP MMS that Team Whiskey had in their Obsidian V3 ROM. I pulled it and changed the default icon to the touchwiz icon.
As in my previous post one page back, it is useable and it looks like it sends your pictures but it really doesn't either for me. My friends only received the text that is included when I attached a picture. This mms.apk did not give me any errors, it just did not really send any pictures. Only looks like it does but no one receives them. If anything new comes to mind I will post later for everyone.
So, I just put back the regular MMS.apk on my phone for now. Out of ideas. Just have to wait to see if developers find a solution or fix it in new upcoming ROM releases or next froyo build.
Posting the file below if anyone wants to experiment with it. Installation instructions are in my previous post one page back.
Add area code to fix?
Master who made the ROM hnted how to fix the issue "he said: add the area code" I am posting the link to what he said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468&page=218
read post #2172
I tried to read back but I can not find the original post stating how to fix the problem by adding the area code.
I don't understand what he means by adding the area code. Maybe someone can comment on this fix.
FYI
Yeah I've heard making sure you have the area code or adding "1" in front of number. Those ideas work if your typing in a number to picture text but if I select a contact saved on the phone thats when it errors.
Other suggested moving contacts over to SIM card and than it works but that defeats the luxury of having a smart phone if I cant keep the contacts on my phone with each contacts extra details that cant be saved to SIM cards.
So, I know I CAN picture text manually for each message I send but I am trying to find a natural way to send mms picture messages easily by selecting any contact in my drop down list that has been saved to the phone without trickery....just like it did exactly with eclair 2.1 before. Ya' know
I read back thru the post, it was discuss to add the area code. Obviously I add the area code because my parents lives in ohio and I am live in california. I tried the following to no success:
1-000-000-0000
000-000-0000
(000)000-0000
1 (000) 000-0000
Is there someone who can tell me how to retrieve the error log, so that I can send it to master for review
It is 10:30pm , I am in communication with master right now, about this issue. He gave me things I can try, but none of them has fixed the issue.
I will let you guys know once, I get a good fix to the issue.
The ROM is great, except for this hitch,
I gave up on this a month a go. I switched to the Handcent mms client. I keep checking to see if the stock client works as I don't want two mms.
I also about to give up on the axura 2.0.5 , the only thing is that the skype works because it based on the 2.2 froyo .
Based on the axura 2.0.5 thread that I read, master believes that there is no problem.
Based on this thread , there is a number of users with this issue. It maybe a fraction of the users, but it's real.
I've ask master, how to pull out the log, so that I can send it to him for analysis.

I don't believe there is no problem, there is deff a problem.
It just amazes me that only some of you have the issue.
Keep in mind, it isn't only my ROM.
If you want a fix for it right this second then you can install the CM6 MMS
Hello Master,
Thanks for responding.
I really like your ROM,
Hopefully you will find a fix for it, it maybe in the form of a patch.
Do you stilll want me to send you a log, just let me know how to do this, and I will send it to you immediately.
Thank you again for this great ROM
Ok so trying to send a picture mail/MMS. But it fails sending! giving me server response error. So I tried the setting fix posted under the development area.but still fails to send any MMS. Please help me out here! Running Leaked Stock Froyo JK6 Rom. Thanks a million!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yeah, I am also having this problem. tried almost everything. But nothing worked. I think it has something to do with the 2.2. I tried other custom roms based on the 2.2, I still get the same mms error.
Think I found a work around. Make sure the numbers in your contacts.don't have any dashes in them so say 2065551234 instead of 206-555-1234 worked for me. Works now! Try it and let me know!

^^^ this worked for me, you can also try using chompsms.
workaround solution
I had this same issue on AT&T Captivate (Samsung SGH-I897) Galaxy S phone after I updated to 2.2 (froyo).
Send as attachment
However I was able to get it to work if I went opened up a message to whomever I was sending MMS and then clicked on the options button and chose attachment and clicked on the media of my choosing. This did allow me to send successfully.
MMS Server response error - Possible Fix!
I've ready through and tried all of the "fixes" for the MMS but to no avail. However, after having read through many other sites, I discovered that it might be as simple as re-listing your contacts' phone numbers so that they are only 10-digit strings. For example: My phone number should be listed as 13032045999, not +1-303-204-5999, nor 303-204-5999, nor 303.204.5999, etc. Get it?
Try resetting the listing you're having difficulties sending an MMS or SMS to, and give it another try.
This might also help with syncing your contacts with your Gmail contacts online.

*known bugs* May send text message to wrong recipient. I have not had this happen yet, but it has been reported.
I have attached the MMS.apk that I used for this. If you have an updated MMS that you want to try go for it. Also if anyone has the cm 7 MMS and can get it working let me know. I couldnt extract it and get it to work. I got this mms from a ROM someone made for the captivate. I only use it for the long multiple vibrate notification for text messages that I often miss when I am at work due to the noisy factory conditions I work in.
Method for install
1. Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine the mms to your phone. Alternately you can put the mms.apk on your phone and just install it from there, but it requires sideloading to be enabled, although if you have it rooted, you probably have sideloading enabled too.
2. Uninstall the "Text messaging apk" using titanium back, or root explorer. *requires root*
The old apk is called text messaging apk in titanium backup. Not sure the exact file name(text.messaging or whatever) as I have deleted it already.
Thanks for this. Stock mms is the best IMO. Speedy and stable
Sent from my Atrix 4G using XDA app.
I have been really wanting to do this, but I am not seeing mms.apk anywhere on the phone itself. I am guessing motorola calls its mms app something different? I have the new one on the SD card ready to go, but I don't know where the old one is to backup/freeze in the meantime.
Edit: Maybe it's conversations.apk?

You're right, it seems to be called Text Messaging in TiBa, I don't see an actual file when using root explorer, but freezing "text messaging" in TiBa and installing this mms.apk is working perfectly. Thanks for your help
This MMS apk still has the pre 2.3.2 SMS bugs.
Well that's not good. Ill ask around in the captivate forum for a newer version. I get a parsing error when I try to pull it out of the update file on cyanogenmod. I even tried swapping out the cert files within the apk itself and I still cant get the newer apk to install. I will update the op.
I have a o2 contract SGSII.
When I try and send a text message which is over 3sms in length, the phone converts it to a mms. This is annoying as I have to pay extra for mms whereas sms is included in my allowance.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Is there a way to stop it?
Thanks
Yup same thing here on Vodafone simfree phone. Be cool to get rid of this limit as I too get free sms but not mms!

It is a known limitation of stock SMS Android application.
To get rid of this problem, use third party SMS apps, like Go SMS Pro (my favorite), Handcent SMS and many others.

Please please please Do!! Thanks in advance!
Many of us use sms a lot and i frequently send out long long long stories to my friends. Here in India while SMS is free for my carrier, MMS is charged!
So please help!
I like the stock app since it has a big field to write the messages, not just two or three lines unlike other.
Does any third party app have this?
Found what's causing it. Now just to figure out how to prevent it
Think it's fixed. I'll pop an experimental fix in VRTweaks for it in the XWKE2 ROM.
I set it to allow 9 SMS messages before making it into an MMS. Equally, I removed the 10 recipient limit and made it 200, for Christmas/New Year bulk texting
OK. Got a few files to test. Backup the files /system/app/mms.apk mms.odex. Delete MMS.odex now.
Then put these into /system/app/ and reboot. Let me know how it goes.
There's a couple to try. Give them a shot
Try first: www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/XWKE2/TRYFIRSTmms.apk
Then if that fails, try: www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/XWKE2/TRYSECONDmms.apk
Remember to rename to just "mms.apk" and let me know how it goes.
Downloading n flashing now gimmie some minutes,
EDIT:- Tried through Root Explorer would not let me install, must I push with ADB if so could you explain Iv'e forgotten how.

I have tried the files you have links to, but when rebooting the message app completely disappears.
When I revert to the backup files and reboot the messaging app comesback again.
@XenonAndroid you don't need to install just place files and reboot (I think).
If you have anymore files to try let me know.
Thanks for the effort!
The stock messaging app also opens mms images as videos for some reason
Is that fixable too?

@Ohmz55; Im sure you rename default mms.apk, copy ova patched and then install it whilst in the System Directory as this is what i had todo to get CM mms.apk working.!

Strange..
Can someone do a logcat so I can see reason for the failure to appear? You need to reboot and look in the log for "mms.apk"
The fix will work, but I need to work out how to get round signature issues
thanks .. we are waiting

Was that using this tweak, or with the stock ROM?
@pulser
I just wanted to clarify i was doing things correctly. This is my first android phone so excuse the noobiness.
I backed up the original mms.apk and mms.odex files.
Then i copied tryfirstmms.apk to system/app. Renamed to Mms.apk (the original had a capital M i dont know if its case sensitive). Then i deleted mms.odex.
Then reboot.
Root explorer gave me the option to install the mms.apk but when i tried it gave me a 'program was.not installed' message.
After the reboot the message app disappeared from the applications screens.
I will try and do a logcat but im just reading up about how to do it.

Sounds fine to me. No need to try to install the APK though... You just need to put it in the folder and reboot the phone You can restore your backups for now to be able to send messages, as I will explain...
I think this will only get fixed when I release VillainROM for the SGS, as I need more control over the system than I can get right now
This fix should work, but Android's security is rejecting the application due to signatures. I know how to fix it, but you need to use a different ROM base which I've been working on here
I am not receiving mms pictures for some reason. I used to receive them when I was on the stock ROM. I installed the leaked ICS for a week or so, then I couldn't retrieve my saved ROM so I had to put on a new stock rooted rom. Now I can't receive pics. I'm using Handcent. I turned on Autoretrieve and still no luck.
I read in one of the threads here about not receiving them over wifi, but I don't know how to make it so that it won't download till I hit the button. I have wifi at both work and home so I am on it a lot. This could be the problem but I don't know how to fix it so I can have my Wifi on AND be able to get the pics.
Thanks in advance,
Jev
A) did up do a full wipe coming from the previous rom--if not, right there is the first mistake. B) did u freeze the stock messaging application, since u say u use handcent? Freezing stock messaging app for me in the past has caused me not to receive mms.

Change you APN settings to the correct one. Do a search for the correct settings and that shall be your key to victory.
You might also try clearing cache under the applications section. I had this issue with AOKP and that helped mine to send and download.
