[Q] Changing default APNs in custom ROM

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!

where is the EFS folder?

Hi all,
I've been searching for the past 2 hours on how to unlock my T-mobile Vibrant. I didn't want to start a new thread but I'm getting pretty frustrated...
can someone help me with:
1. I keep reading in threads: "Back up your EFS folder" <--- i can't find it!!!
2. Will the "repair nv_data" help me unlock my phone? are there instructions on how to do this properly?
thank you!
Info:
Model: SGH t959 (t-mobile)
Firmware: 2.1 update 1
Baseband: T959UVJI6

thread you want
you need root explorer or astro file manager to see the efs folder
Thanks for your direction! I've hit another wall...
when I move onto step 3: where it uses the NV_repair. Jar i get an error message in french... any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Yep.. your nv_data.bin and the .jar file have to be moved into the folder in french
along with the nv_data.binvierge
There is an online tool that you just upload your nv_data.bin file to, built off of helroz' method,

I don't know your situation, but have you tried to just request an unlock from T-Mobile? I used the unlock tool in the summer but recently called them for a few unlocks and it got emailed to me next day.

Anyone here on stock rooted on a SGSII?

I have a US AT&T GSII and unfortunately they don't allow the access to the Network Operator Selection menu, so I'm told if I replace a file and restore it'll get the menu access back for me.
Can anyone who is on the STOCK Galaxy S II International version send me a copy of the file apns-conf.xml from the /system/etc directory via PM or post on here?
I think there's a way to extract it from the Stock ROM, but I can't find that on here, and don't know how to extract just that file.
Thanks

Use a file manager like Root Explorer to navigate to it.

I have the ATT version, that's why I want the file from someone who has a SGSII International to send the file, because it's not on my version, hence why I asked here, hehe. Did you read my post entirely? It explains it.
Thanks!

I am on stock KI8 and found a copy of the apns-conf.xml file in /etc (not /system/etc). For what it's worth, here is the file.
Hope it works for you - I'd love to know.

Thanks. How would I implement this into my stock ROM so I don't have to start over? And will this unlock the search screen?

You said in your first post that you just needed to copy this file in. To do this you will need a file manager that will let you have write access to the root directory. Root Explorer will do this, but your phone will need to be rooted if it is not already. There are plenty of guides in this forum on how to do this, but my preference is just to flash the appropriate Chainfire cfroot kernel.
Please also note that once you root your phone your warranty will be void, although there are also guides on the forum about how you can go about bringing it back to stock. Many of the carrier specific stock ROMs are also posted in the forum.
Before you do any of this though, you should note your current ROM details as listed in Settings/About Phone, and after you have rooted, but before doing anything else, you should perform a CWM backup.
Once you have done the copy, I would think you would need to re-boot your phone for anything to take effect, but I can't give you any guarantee that it will work (or not).

I was already rooted and unlocked. Simply doing these two things in themselves don't unlock ATT's locked manual network selection screen. I even tried deleting the CSC directory and files per GTG, and I replaced the APNs Config File, and rebooted, the manual network selection menu is still locked. :-( I'm beginning to wonder if this is hopeless. :-(

Sprint network apk

Does anyone have the sprint network apk. I deleted them after I rooted.
Does anyone have
I have an Galaxy S7
/SprintDM.apk
/SprintSyncMLSvc.apk
/Activation.apk
Just download a rom and extract them... Remember, you can't just install like a normal apk. You will need a root enabled file manager to move them to the right folder in /system as well as set the permissions to 0644.
I download the stock Samsung rom and re-installed it but since these are sprint specific they were not in there. My phone isn't able to get data and when I go to do the ## activation it says I'm roaming and need to buy a SIM card with mins. Any ideas ?
