Hey guys, could not really find what I was looking for
After you are running a rom, and obviously need to get mms working, what is the proper steps to running a apn fix? I see in the aloysius post someone posted the apn from Ivans, and was curious how to run it on the rom already in progress?
Thanks
There's a program called "apn backup and restore" that will let you restore the correct apn file.
Just download the apn file from that thread to your sd card, install that app, and restore the correct file.

This update was intended for my ZenEXP-Eris build, but it should work on most, if not all ROMs here as well.
Do a nandroid backup before installing in case it doesn't work, then flash through recovery: LINK
thanks guys..works great!
I have been using this app for a while now and never had an issue restoring after a restore. I am using the Fresh 2.1.1 Rom and flashed Ivan's 1.0 Rom and sucessfuly backed up the apn when I restored and try to restore the Apn I keept getting an error code 8 can't write to a read only database. I haven't done anything different from the norm. Anyone have an idea or know who I should be contacting?

Are you not able to send or receive mms messages? I am also running fresh 2.1.1 and I thought I could send/receive them.
I can send but I don't get them Either I was trying to do the APN flash to fix it. Our Rom isn't verizon based so the network acts funny on text messages. The work around was to flash Ivan's rom after you make a nandroid backup of your Fresh Rom install then dl APN Backup & Restore and then back up the APN of Ivan's rom to the SD card. And then restore the Fresh 2.1.1 and dl the APN app again but restore the .xml from the SD card to fix the mode of connection to start recieving mms/sms and voicemail alerts.If you hadn't changed the prl if it would help you this is the time to do it,Download the Alltel_Verizon Hybrid.prl file,enter ##778 in the dialer hold call for a few seconds let go then choose edit mode and for password 6 zeros. Select prl, then update prl, the keyboard shows up first but just hit the back button onec and you will see the prl you downloaded to the root of the SD card and then choose and say ok, then hit menu and commit changes. After a short bit a message stating the phone needs to reboot and vola! you have add your phone to the extra Alltel towers in your area. AFTER DOING THIS DO NOT *228 and let the automated PRL service run, this will remove the Alltel Hybrid PRL and you will have to redo the Ivan flash method. Most roms are not developed with the epsk.apk(think thats the name) which is invoked with the ##778 send.This is optional because for some it is a hit or miss of a fix. For some it clears up areas that they may have not gotten signal and reduces it in already covered areas.
Realize this is a long answer to your simple question but just wanted to clear up for others that may not know.

So, I am running the latest version of the Evil Eris rom and I am having issues downloading MMS pictures. I keep getting that download error or what not. I did the step listed here(twice), but that did not work for me. Is there anything else I could possibly do fix this issue?
Have you tried using "APN Backup & Restore"? You would:
1. Load a ROM where MMS works.
2. Download and install "APN Backup & Restore"
3. Use the app to perform an APN backup.
4. Reload the ROM you want to get MMS working on.
5. Download and install "APN Backup & Restore"
6. Use the app to delete the APNs on that ROM.
7. Use the app to restore the APN backup made in step #3
8. Reboot.
I haven't personally done this and so I can't vouch for it's effectiveness, but I have seen that a number of folks have done this to successfully rectify MMS issues.
I dunno that seem like a bit of a chore to do, I was hoping for something a bit more simplified.

Ain't going to get any simpler than that. You can always switch to another rom
Alyosius works well, as does plainjane...

Oh, I guess I am out of luck at the moment then.
Use xtrSense 4.0.6.1.
Just as many sweet features as EvilEris, more stable, and other than pinch-zoom Google Maps and the sweet copy/paste Browser, it's better than EvilEris, IMO.
The rom you are suggestion doesn't have the same cut and paste as the current rom I am using? One thing I like about my current rom is color scheme.

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to either help me or point me in the right direction.
I stupidly deleted the stock mms app. Never used it so I figured it would be alright. Nope. It was only when I noticed that I was unable to send mms messages and I was getting double txt messages in GoSMSPro that I knew I had an issue. I've since learned I shouldn't have deleted stock. Whoops. I've tried reading, tried reflashing roms, reinstalling another stock MMS app. None seems to eliminate my issue. When I reflashed Bionix the problem goes away but after restoring my data the stock mms is still gone and problem is back. I'm under the impression to restore all I need I need to restore data from my latest backup after flashing, and I can't quite seem to find the right stock mms app or I'm either not installing it correctly. I've had my Vibrant for about 4 months, so I'm no expert at this point, and why I'm asking for help. Anyone?
Have you tried finding the stock mms.apk file?
EDIT: I got it, pm me if you want it
Yes, I just downloaded what I thought was the stock mms.apk (stock-jpy-mms.zip) and flashed it. It seemed to install correctly, but when I got a txt its showing up there double and in GoSMSPro double as well. It's not the same green messaging icon as the stock I remember so I'm thinking it might not be the right one? I'm at a loss here. Any ideas?
any luck with the apk?
You need to put the stock mms.apk in the system/app folder and in go sms in the settings under important tips make sure the box for stock sms unistalled is not checked

Put mms.apk onto my external SD. Moved it to system/app but it wont install. Rebooted...doesn't show. It's in the folder but won't work. What the hell is going on? Tried APK Manager but it doesn't even show up there. Thanks for the help so far...looks like I need more.
You might have done it already and it might not matter but did you change the permissions when you moved it to system/app?
Before I start, I've been looking around the forums for the past 2 days and I couldn't find a definitive answer so I made and account and decided to post this
This is my first time trying to install a custom ROM. I'm trying to install the CM6 Froyo ROM and I'm a bit unsure of which version to download and how to install the hotfixes. I have xRecovery installed and a backup of the stock ROM and I'm not really sure where to go from there. If someone could give me a quick guide and explain which version to pick and how to install hotfixes I would be really grateful
I have the Mini Pro with 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW and the M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 baseband.
Thanks in advance.

This ROM is for the Mini Pro only
10. After you have your apps and data back make a new xrecovery backup and start checking overclocking, undervolting and optional fixes.
9. Reboot into xrecovery and make a backup of your new rom. Then you can start reinstalling your applications and restoring data.
8. Follow instructions in this post to adjust keyboard light and after you're done reboot again.
Keyboard Light and Automatic Display Info: Please see here
7. Reboot. First boot takes a long time. Be patient. When the new rom is up, i suggest you navigate to cm settings - performance settings - cpu settings and check max cpu frequency. If it is more than 600mhz, lower it to 600 until you finish setting up you phone. You can test higher values and undervolting later when everything is done. Reboot again.
6. Choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Build.Prop fixed thanks to Kewie
5. Choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Hacked Market thanks to shokmah and WLAN Hotfix thanks to bitmovel!!
4. Again choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Incoming Call Slider fixed
3. Choose install custom zip and navigate to the folder with your downloaded zips. Install rom.
MiniCM v3.0 MD5: 670EBE1826A66645A08437F190466E2A
2. Boot into xrecovery and do a factory reset to wipe everything (data, cahce, etc)
1. Backup your apps and data with titanium bacup.
0. Download version 3 rom and hotfixes from links in the steps above. Write down the names of the files. Print out instructions from step 8.

Here is how i do it. Read from bottom up.
That was exactly what I needed thank you! I will let you know how I get on
EDIT: Also just before I begin, I have a backup of my sms + contacts etc from the stock SE Backup and Restore app. Will this work on this ROM or what are my options? (I reflashed my phone to stock FW using SEUS so everythings gone, I only have the .sbf backup on my PC)
I'll wait for a reply before I flash this ROM 'cos I don't want to have done it only to find out I have to revert to stock to get all my contacts and messages back :/ lol
EDIT: Anyone?
I don't remember if this rom has se backup&restore app installed, but i think you can download it from se website.
Edit: I haven't used it, because i always keep my contacts on sim card and i didn't need to keep messages.
If you make an xrecovery backup of your se rom before you start installing custom rom, and then find out that you can't get you contacts&messages back, you can always use that backup to come back to se rom and it will have those contacts and messages.

I read somewhere that the apk won't install since it's not an official SE ROM? :/ So I'm not sure what to do. Anyone able to confirm or disconfirm this? If not, is there any other way to back it up before I install it?

Backup contacts using the stock backup option in the 'contacts' then backup sms using the 'sms backup and restore app' from market. Then flash new rom and install the sms backup app again and hit restore. I don't know if wil work because I only have the mini not the mini pro

Ok, so I've flashed the custom ROM about 10 times now trying to get backups and messages accross lol. I got it to work, but 4500 messages being imported at once was causing some serious issues so I've just decided to leave the messages and I used a vCard backup to save my contacts and import them again . I understand a lot of stuff now about various things with ROM's Thanks to both of you for your help, it has really helped me get started
Great you managed to install it! Enjoy it!
The process for new roms coming with CWMrecovery shouldn't be too different, if you ever want to try those.
Thanks! Right now I think I'll stick with this ROM for the time being I bought Launcher Pro Plus and Widget Locker as well so I'm going to have some fun customizing this Btw you wouldn't happen to know the name of a widget, it's like a digital clock drawn with like pencils or something. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9300605&postcount=120
The clock widget?
I think that's beautiful widgets, but ask shivenjuneja, he might have customized it.
Yeah beautiful widgets checked a few screenshots and thats what it was! Also, I don't think shivenjuneja did customize it, I've seen it on a few screenshots looking like that, just no name D: lol Thanks Again!
Edit: Actually! It's weather widgets with the dirty paper skins! :O lol
Edit: Also, he must have edited or got it when it was for beautiful skins because the one now looks crap :/ bit of a waste, but thanks anyway :L
Here's what my phone looks like now
Nice! Great background! Slade has just released v4.0 of this rom that can be installed from xrecovery or cwmrecovery
I think i'll give it a try one of these days.
Thanks! I might give it a try maybe today or after these exams for the next two weeks D:
Ok i have a a few backups and i need to see whats on them, i know unyaffs-x86-win but that disnt show what i want it to.. is there an emulator where i can restore from backup.. all my 4g evo are broke, which is what the backups are from.. i have a 3d, can i restore it on that? what are my options..
You could restore your og backups onto your 3d if you want to risk bricking your phone.
The recovery I use compresses the backup as a tarball file so you could try to open it with something like 7zip. Never tried it myself, so reply back with how it goes.

If it was saved in your data or the app you were using. But if you were using the native text app on the phone I dont think so.

It will read the DATA backup but whatever you do, DO NOT INSTALL SYSTEM APP's you will screw up your rom. Yes System app's will be listed in the data backup.
What I was talking about if you were not using a market text messaging app then you wont be able to get the texts back.
