i rooted a friends samsung vibrant last night and everything went perfectly. i installed this rom.
now, whenever anyone sends him a picture message, it says something about "a problem with resolution or size restriction."
i've searched xda and come up with people getting blurry mms messages and the fix is to install either the cm6 mms apk or one of a few available. searching on google, everyone has the problem with the iphone and their fix is a package available through cydia.
i've had him check his apn settings and they are the same as seen in post number 7 of this thread. i've had him try using handcent and chompsms instead of the default. i've had him ensure his mobile data is on. the problem still persists.
he can send picture messages just fine. he can receive normal texts just fine.
he really wanted an aosp rom. i stuck with 2.2 so the clockwork 2.5.1.2 backup/restore would work fine.
my questions are these:
should installing a new mms apk fix this issue? does he need different apn settings? should i install a different rom altogether? should i install a newer 2.3 rom? if so, how can i get clockwork 3 installed? (i couldn't find how to do that anywhere either).
sorry this post is so long. thanks for any help.
ended up using odin back to stock then rerooted and reflashed the rom. seems to be working now.
I had the superuser crash last week. It caused lockups and I restored from a nandroid. Everything works but picmail. I tried a dirty flash, reflash of radio, wiping dalvik and cache,updating profile and PRL and still can't send pix. ##3282# opens the menu and the mms server shows blank. I enter the mms server settings and it won't commit the changes. I'm not a noob and this one has me stumped. Any suggestions?
My Note 3 is activated on the Sprint MVNO Ringplus, so I probably went through more trouble than most to get the leaked Lollipop build up and running. I figured I'd show what I did in case anyone else wanted to do the same as well. I believe SMS is currently not working. This isn't an issue for me because I use Google Voice as my primary number, so my texts go through data instead of traditional SMS.
It would probably be best to do a Profile and PRL update before you begin, as you won't have the option of doing them on the new ROM.
First I made a complete backup followed by a full wipe, and then I flashed g00h's tweaked odex lollipop ROM v.1.1 here.
Next I flashed the bluetooth/wifi fix found in this thread here. Make sure you download version 2 (the file that's 1.83MB).
Next I had to get mobile data working, so I used the APN backup & restore app from the Play store. I used the APN settings listed by jackal830 here. I copied the text, pasted it into an xml file, and placed that file in the APN backup & restore app's folder so that it could restore the Ringplus APN settings. Using the app, I first deleted the current APN settings, and I then restored from the newly created xml file.
The next problem was that my all of my wifi passwords would be forgotten everytime the phone would reboot. I did a quick search and found this post here. Following dajumper's suggestion, I edited the build.prop using Root Explorer, and changed the line from "ro.securestorage.support=true", to "ro.securestorage.support=false". This made my wifi passwords stick on reboot.
After doing all of that, everything is up and running great. I'm really enjoying Samsung's implementation of Lollipop. In order to get this working on Sprint instead of Ringplus, I'd imagine you'd only have to locate a Sprint APN file generated from the APN backup & restore app, and use that instead.
If anyone else has the same setup as me, and wants to give this try, enjoy!
Does your texting work? Seems to be the only thing missing when I've tried installing that rom?

It does not, but like I said, I use Google Voice as my primary number, so it's not an issue for me. I can still send text messages like normal through Google Voice because the messages travel over mobile data instead of SMS.
Aight guess I'll just wait a little more for that to get fixed i need that proper texting but thanks for the info
Which APN backup and restore app are you using? The one I used states it does not restore for anything over 4.0+. That because the OS does not allow for 3rd party apps to change APN.
Never mind figured it out. Will attempt on sprint. But looks like MMS will still be a problem.

I'm using the latest one from the play store. Hit menu, select disable ICS check, close the app and then reopen it. I don't believe it allows you to backup your APN settings on anything higher than 4.0, but it does allow you to restore them. That's why I manually placed my xml file in the folder where the app restores from.

Thanks...Next time I will read the entire writeup . It will allow you to backup and restore. Just had to move the APK to the /system/priv-app and modify the permissions.
How exactly do you edit the secure storage support to true?
I'm running stock NK1 rooted with Xposed framework installed, and it's been running fine aside from phone calls still being silent receiving and making occasionally, but just recently I list the ability to send texts using the stock MMS apk. I tried to go into Settings/More Networks and change the default to the stock Messaging apk, but Titanium is the only option. Same thing with Settings/Default Applications, only Titanium is available. Installing other SMS apps works, but nothing I do will let me choose the stock messaging app. I've tried overwriting the original with a copy of the original, turning the app off then back on again, but no luck. Permissions are correct and everything looks fine, but it will not work. Anyone seen this before?
i flashed new firmware, then rom, etc. but when i get a call, it goes straight to voicemail. and when i try to send a text it says message blocking is active. i checked its not active. does anyone have an idea?

Some versions of a rom don´t work fine with some firmware versions by i.e for me RR 03/24 had some issues with latest firmware but not with the previous.
If changing the firmware don´t result you can try
- Making a wipe of storage data from apps and look for permissions.
- Changing for other third party app and set them as by default to see if the issue is from the app.
- It could be some settings done previously on advance options from the app and see carrierr preference via some USSD code of your provider.
