Hello, I would like to have a thread for Wind Mobile customers in Canada using the HTC amaze.
Specifically at this point I would like to know what ROM everyone is using and do they have mms working.
I have only been able to get mms working on NRG's Aug 6 ROM.
I would love a more AOSP ROM but am stuck if I want mms.
(also I have noticed the apn recommendations for Wind do NOT look correct in the thread for apn's as it suggests 1 apn for both internet and mms)
Please join this thread and share any experiences you have and I hope this helps others besides myself.
Especially since I think our phone is still great and I don't know of any reason to switch or upgrade at this point.
Have you tried the one APN even if it doesn't look right?

Thanks for reply and suggestion
To be honest I haven't tried in a long time and I did not try this morning when I was trying the Fourth Bar Infusion ROM.
I guess I have assumed that how I have the apn's on the NRG ROM is how they need to be as it works
However, I suppose it is possible that the apn's need to be different if the ROM is different or de-sensed.
Could this be?
Has anyone out there with Wind got mms to work on a ROM other than NRG's and if so, how did you do it.
May give it another try tonight if I have time.

Does anyone think that if I use the 1 apn for both internet and mms and it does NOT work on the NRG ROM it MAY work on a different ROM?
and or vice versa?
I'm not with wind, but I've had problems with certain roms not being able to send mms, but it was usually something screwy with the mms.apk. If I swapped it out for one that I had working from a different rom, I'd have no issues, but yeah, only one apn for both data and mms.
try swapping in an aosp mms.apk on your energy rom and see if it works. Extract it from fourth bar, or speed rom even. rename it to mms1 or whatever, that way you'll have both working to test back to back.

Do you mean that yes, you only 1 apn for internet and mms looks OK or it does NOT look OK?
I can try an AOSP mms apk and see if I can get it to work along with the original one in my NRG ROM.
I know I tried taking the mms apk from the NRG ROM and putting it on another ROM I tried and it would NOT work.
Thanks for ideas and I will continue to try things.
yeah, only one apn for both, they are set up so that anything mms related is set up through the one apn. The only time you'd need another is if you're swapping between sim card from a different carrier, for example I have a bell apn set up so if I want to swap in my work sim in my phone I'm ready to go with data and all.
What other roms have you tried? I've tried some and found mms to be an issue, esp. on some of the speed rom versions.

You don't happen to have an HTC amaze do you? That's what I have.
Yes, I have tried Speed ROM, Fourth Bar, ...
Thanks and I will keep trying and hope for a combination that will work
yup I have an amaze.
This mms.apk works for mms on my end, paste it in your current rom /system/app folder and if mms is working in your current rom mms.apk, then it should work for this one. If it does work, then copy your apn exactly as is in another rom, and paste this apk in the same folder, and it should work.

When I first ran 7.0 I thought it was the smoothest rom for the phone (still left it on my amaze when I gave it to my nephew)... but after testing for the guy... i was like wtf?
When I did testing for 4ext for madmaxx82 and 4th bar ics for craigtut, the devs were much more knowledgeable and professional about their work.

You can't on the fascinate...the mezmerize folks can get it working by editing the build prob, but not us fascinate users from my understanding.
After running gummy for fassy, and aokp, I can't get mms/or SMS to work properly on aokp. On aokp, mms won't work at all, SMS works unless u add a ♪ or ♥, then it force closes. On gummy SMS is perfect , mms works receiving. Question is, I can send mms messages longer than 160 characters, but it refuses to send a picture. Anyone have a similar problem? Or know what options I have?

Unfortunately I was never able to get MMS to work on any of the ICS ROMS, even after starting from scratch several times, and trying the setDNS fix, etc. Not sure why, but my phone just doesn't like ICS yet...this makes me sad. I sure did love the way my phone worked on AOKP, no wifi issues at all. Oh well.

I did try the set dns fix, with no luck. I can't claim I did everything 100% correct, I was rushing because my better half was frustrated with me as I was spending way too much time working on fixing my phone. She was right, of course!
I may give AOKP another run sometime soon, I really really like that ROM.
Yeah if you mess with it again let us know if it works... It should if you set the numbers right
Getting mms to work makes ics that much better, it's great

Give AOKP Build 22 Test a try...that fixed MMS for me.
I've been battling this issue for a while. What works for me is ....start mms...then choose FILE/PICS.....choose your pic from gallery..... if it doesn't send right away, I close mms, toggle AIRPLANE MODE , then reopen mms....seams to work for me. I also switched to CHOMP APP.

It's funny you mention that...I will be eligible for a new device in the fall, just around the time the new iPhone and maybe the new SGSIII, and possibly another Nexus device are available as well. I've been an iPod user since the original, and have no issues with Apple or iTunes. But I still can't see myself getting an iPhone, regardless of how nice it is with the next version. I can't imagine not being able to change my stuff the way I want to. With an iPod, I don't care, I want it to just play music and manage my playlists, which they do very well.
Hi everyone, I'm lpt2569...and I'm a Flashing/Android addict.
Yes lol I also use an iPod for music. This was before I got my fascinate. I used iPod a lot for music. However now that I am figuring more and more how to do things with my phone ( music , radio and podcasts ) I use the iPod less and less. Battery is no longer issue since I have 2 extended and one extra stock ! Lol : D

Thanx everyone for some helpful ideas. I'm goin crazy over here trying to get my mms to work. I've flashed soo many ROMs lately, I'm getting cross-eyed. The only way that my mms works is using THS 6.1, works flawlessly. If I flash gummy or build 22 I have no luck. I even copied the mms.apk from 6.1 and i still have no luck. Is it that the ICS builds just work different on different fascinates?
update: running build 22, and coping 6.1 mms.apk to /system/app folder, and setdns.....its now working
I flashed AOKP Build 25, and still can't get MMS to work. There must be something funky with my Fascinate, or I've done something funky in my flashes (most likely scenario). I've tried every workaround, and every way of flashing, and MMS never works. Oh well. ICS is really nice on this phone. Just wish I could get f&$!ing MMS to work! I'm going to try build 26, released today, and see how it goes.

I am running a Milestone X2 and up until recently have had no wifi on any custom rom. Since the new soak test Eclipse v2.2 uses the new /418 kernal and now wifi works. Is it possible to take this and move it to MIUI?
No & miui update is stalled big time.
skwoodwiva, thank you for such an easy answer. I love MIUI it is my favorate ROM, but I would like wifi to work .
eclipse mms?
What's up people, quick question about the eclipse2.2 on milestone x2. However first allow me to respect XDA community, I've been though alot in the background with you guys. Then respect to Nitro for eclipse, it's amazing! My question is about the mms on the 2.2, will there be an update to fix it or is it a sacrafice I'm gonna have to eat? This is the first Rom I have 'noobly' been able to use and if I have to give up sending pics or long messages I'll do it before I go back to slow, laggy stock. I did read that it wouldn't work but then I read people's replies that they have no problems. I could've done something off with the install but everything else works perfectly. Thanks to anyone with feedback or help, it's truly appreciated!
Yes, unfortunately MMS will not work if you are not with Verizon. Nitro uses Verizon's basebase information and strips other stuff so that data can work. This does not work for me so I have no idea how to actually make it work. I have nTelos Wireless which is a small carrier based out of VA and my MMS does not work.
I hope this helps.
I am also on NTelos in Norfolk,VA, so no hope for us huh? Well that blows. I've had so many stressful nights thinking I've lost my phone doing all this flashing so I'm trying to be content, but I've read so many posts and you guys always get me out of whatever grave I dig. I think now that I have the sbf process down I might try for CM7 or miui tonight. Thanks for the confirmation twobrare, I've read allot of your posts too so I def believe you.

Ok, I too have ntelos in lynchburg, luckily there was a guy in a phone store that hooked me up for 10$then I still had to use gosmspro for the pix to send properly. He told me he spent months to find what he found online, but he found it...online. he also password protected it so when I transferred the custom app that I bought off him it won't install when I put it back on the SD card. Through my backups that I moved from my computer was the only way to get it to work TB will no longer back up and restore the app. Any sugestionsto get the mms working would be great. Or if someone could tell me how to pull the info off of a phone I still have my desirefrom ntelos. I would post here if I found a fix...thanx.

I found an easier solution for the mms fix, and it's really easy if your on the evo 4g. Download the reloaded.44 magnum ROM somehow it has the right apks or something to get the mms to work right off the bat you don't need to do anything else. But if your like me, you still flash. So, download 4 shared on the market (free) search for, apn manager ,download to phone, go into apn manager and hurt the backup button, it creates a file on your sd card and saves it there, flash another ROM you like, again ,4shared, apn manager, open apn manager hit the restore button only, done. Works every time for me, good luck.

I have two galaxy notes.. and one sends MMS just fine the other doesn't they both receive and both have data access.
I am switching my StraightTalk Sim between the phones to test and i have confirmed about 800 times the APN settings are exact. But to no avail one works one doesn't... THe only difference is the version of Flapjaxx rom i am running ones a version newer.
I have the same thing with my FJ 4.2.2 ROM. MMS won't receive but will send. Other than that, I love the ROM.
The APN settings that come with a ROM are in an XML file (just a text file, really). If there is an extra space or blank character in that file the APN setting will be wrong. You won't even see it if its at the end of a line.
In the phone with Flapjaxxx ROM make another APN, save it, and use it. When you verify it works correctly for data and MMS, delete the other.

That app was stopping your MMS?
Where does it keep the APN?
I tried all I knew to try before posting and have been at this for over a week. I have the straight talk s3 and its compatible with Verizon aosp ROMs and CWM and with that said, I have working MMS on all jb ROMs but when I flash a KitKat ROM it no longer works.
Things I have tried...
Taken the apn-conf.XML from the stock TW and replacing the kk conf.xml.
Taken the a conf.XML from the working jb also ROM and replacing the km one.
Tried the app APN backup and restore with no luck. And there is no way to manually enter the APN on the ST s3. Im stumped as it works fine with 4.3.. So I. Sure there is a fix I'm overlooking or don't know enough to fix. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried another SMS app that supports adding your own MMS settings? That's a common way to fix issues like this when flashing to another CDMA service or using roms for another phone...

Thanks for the reply.. yeah.. I have been using handcent but would really like to fix it to where I could use the stock messaging app and maybe hangouts. I'm new to this but I think the 3rd party app is fixing the problem I should be able to go in with a file browser and correct it, right? I still have a copy of the stock rom if there is a file I need from it and also aosp 4.3 roms the mms works if there is a file I could use from there. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
This rom has an APN Config feature: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598410
Maybe you should see how they implement that to see if you can port it to the rom you are using.

That's was my fault.. Forgot to move to priv app.. However I did get it to restore and I rebooted and tried to send a pic and still stuck at sending. I was for sure that would have fixed it.

http://pan.baidu.com/s/1c03rQO4 <the specific ROM file: miui_l720_i545_r970_i9505_rainbow_4.8.12_4.4.4.zip
All credit goes to bxfxf it is all their work.
It works great on my i545 except for one real issue: I can receive and sent texts, I can receive MMS, but I cannot send them, and adding APNs do not save once you edit the setting, the APN disappears when you try to save. I tried unpacking the rom and replacing the "apns-conf" file with one containing only the VZW APNs and then factory resetting and reinstalling but it didn't have any affect.
Does anyone know anything else I can do to fix this? I love MIUI and this rom is 99% there. There was a mirror in the i9505 section where I originally found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/rom-miui-v5-jflte-kitkat-4-4-2-t2816036
Minor issues: LTE not automatically enabled *#*#4636#*#* and the settings then enables it and the camera crashes after a few runs. Simply replace with google camera.

I imagine so, but its such a beautiful system. I'm amazed it worked as well as it did, seeing as this build that, while based on the unified CM11, wasn't modified with verizon in mind. It almost seems like it has to be an "easy" fix, seeing as MMS will receive, calls work, 4g, 3g, 1x, and texts will send and receive. I could really care less about the camera and having to toggle 4G on after a reboot. Any ideas on where to look besides apns-conf.xml for things that might affect MMS sending? I'm willing to get my hands a bit dirty to make this work...
Did you manage to fix it?
