This isn't really a problem. It's just a question out of curiosity...aimed at the guys who tear down ROMs on a regular basis, or whoever else might know.
Okay so here's my scenario. I have a Verizon Note 2 which I use here in the Caribbean on a GSM network. Most of the time I use ATT or N7105 roms (without the ATT/n7105 modems of course) since I'm using a GSM network.
Whenever I use ATT/N7105 roms, my phone automatically retrieves APN settings for internet and mms from my carrier.
When I use Verizon ROMs like I am right now, I never receive these APN and MMS settings automatically.
I know my APN settings but it's convenient having it retrieved automatically when I switch sim cards.
What part of the ROM is it that allows this to happen when I'm using ATT roms?
Is it something in the build.prop that I'm missing? CSC settings or something else?

Well for the 1% that might be interested I figured out the answer. It turns out the ATT and N7105 roms apn-conf.xml file had my carrier's apn/mms settings.
So just replacing that file in my Verizon rom got my settings added automatically.

I've searched to the best of my ability and can't find much help. My problem is that when I'm any custom ROM (tried about 5 including CM7, CM9 and RootBox JB) I must manually switch APNs when I get a MMS message. So for example, if I receive a picture message, I have to go into my APN setting and manually select my MMS APN, then go back to my messaging app and hit download. Then once it downloads, I have to go back into my APN setting and switch back to my internet APN. On the stock ROM this was not the case. I have all the correct settings, I'm absolutely sure. I've tried editing the apns-conf.xml file to add my carriers settings. Tried flashing without the sim card in. Can't seem to get it to work. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

I assume you mean combine the two APN settings. I've tried that. All that does is leave me without internet or mms capabilities.
Seriously? what provider do you have? I'm guessing since you're in the USA judging by the american flag in your profile that you're on ATT or straight talk? Telling us what provider you have would help quite a bit..
Edit, I thought help me, help me I'm dying questions belong in the QnA forums?
Sorry, knew I was forgetting something. My carrier is Viaero. I live in the middle of nowhere in Colorado so its basically the only option. AT&T doesn't cover our area. And now this isn't an urgent issue, just something that kind of annoying. All I was looking for were some ideas on how to remedy the situation, so I thought general would be more appropriate.
Post both apns please
I've verified these with Viaero and with another SII running stock. also had an unlocked iPhone before which these worked with. Another side note, on custom roms if I put in the "APN TYPE" I get neither internet nor MMS. So I have to leave those blank to get it to work at all.
NAME
Viaero Connect
APN
internet.vedge.com
APN TYPE
internet
NAME
Viaero MMS
APN
mms
MMSC

MMS PROXY

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue.
For MMS Part .... change port number "9401" to just blank
I can get LTE working (I am provisioned for it), i can not get MMS working, and i don't think it seems to fall back to HSPA+, can someone share all the APN settings on their AT&T branded HTC One? if theirs multiple apn profiles please share them all. I am using a developers edition so i don't think the settings are all in their. Thank you.

I think i just needed to reboot the phone, seems to be working now.
Also if people having issues with signal dropping randomly, try reseating the sim card, my issue with this has also stopped.
Hello,
My network operator uses configuration message to let you use Mobile Data
so i sent a message to 250 with the word "set" as i always did on the Samsung Stock Rom
but with the CM10, I didn't receive anything
and in the message app on the samsung stock rom when i click the menu button, there was an option for managing Configuration Messages
but that's seems to be missing on CM10
{Q} Is CM10 able to use Configuration message somehow or what ?!
The point of the configuration messages is so that you can install the APN settings for the particular carrier you're on. CM10 will automatically install the APN settings for your carrier (unless you're on a ridiculously obscure carrier) so there's no need for the configuration messages.
Are you getting a data connection? If you are, a then all good. If not, check your APN settings and see what's happening there.

No, I don't get any connection without that configuration message
and Where is that APN settings ?!
Settings then more settings then mobile network then access point
Andrew have you seen where the default CM APN's don't cover a given carrier? I've been on a pretty obscure carrier with custom ROM and still been fine...

Iv never had problem with apns till I stuck a different Sim in a stock Rom.
I am on vacation in Costa Rica and bought a prepaid sim from Kolbi, a local carrier. I can make calls but can't receive texts or access data.
I will need to get MMS working because I need to send a text to the carrier to activate the data feature.
I tried to add the APN for the carrier based on settings that I found online but it never seems to save. After each time I add it the APN list shows as blank.
As a workaround, I was thinking of adding the APN to the APN config file and dirty flashing over the ROM.
I can only use the hotels crappy WiFi so it would be difficult to download another ROM.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Bump. Does anyone have any ideas here? This seems like it might be a long standing CM bug across multiple devices, very frustrating.

I need to get my Data and calls working with this Verizon S5.
I bought it at an authorized T-MOBILE dealer without realizing it was a Verizon model.
They unlocked it but obviously didn't do it right. The Verizon Internet APN is still showing but cannot remove and cannot delete. Data and calls do not work when adding T-Mobile APN info, either. I have a constant message along the top saying "This SIM card is from an unknown source". I get a similar message when trying to make phone calls. Sometimes they will go through but only intermittently.
I want to know.....
Can I put a T-Mobile ROM on my SM-G900V without bricking it and get Data and calling back? Has this been successfully done before? Links? Any idea on how to get the Verizon S5 working properly on the T-Mobile network at all?
The guys at the store are idiots, will not help, screwed me over saying i signed some kind of doc agreeing to a 72 hour return policy, not a 14-day return policy... My fault for not reading the fine print, yes... But their intentions were to screw people over from the beginning. Makes me want to just "RAAAAAAAWWR"
********EDIT**********
I did find a thread in the QnA by searching for "Unlock" and he has successfully put a t-mobile ROM on it, so why does his data work and mine doesn't ??? Any ideas?? I cannot completely test the theory at the moment because i'm at work but i am posting this in case anyone knows why the data would not work. I'm in the process of contacting Verizon directly to see if they have anything of use, but i doubt it.
That sounds like your device isn't actually unlocked.
Just flashing a different carrier firmware don't unlock the phone from my understanding.
Verizon s5 (and s4) are carrier unlocked. I use both on T-Mobile with no issues
I have done this with 2 iPhone 5s's, an i545 Verizon S4 (which I loved), a N900V Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and now on an SM-G900V Verizon S5. All are carrier unlocked out of the box and work with T-Mobile. There are a few caveats.
For the android devices, here is what you can do without obtaining root:
1. if you remove your Verizon SIM and put in the T-Mobile SIM calls should work without any change except you need to be in global mode. In settings, change settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ to global.
2. To get data working, go to settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/access point names and edit the T-Mobile settings. The name does not matter, but the APN should be fast.t-mobile.com
3. To get MMS you have to change a few other settings (but leave all others unchanged):
MMSC should be http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC should be 310
MNC should be 260
APN Type should be default,mms/supl,dun
4. You can't remove the "SIM is from an unknown source" message without root. I believe you can stop the message by holding the notification until you find the app info, and then force stop it. But it will return after any reboot.
If you are willing to root your phone (I used Towelroot), in addition to the above you can:
5. Remove the message about the SIM by freezing "Setup Wizard 1.0" using Titanium Backup
6. Using the app "Advanced Signal Status" you can set your phone to LTE/GSM only so it no longer looks for CDMA service
Summary: Changing Verizon S4, Note 3 and S5 phones (as well as the iPhones) to T-Mobile service is not difficult. I switched carriers completely for my entire 5 line contract without changing phones. I now have unlimited data on 4 of the 5 phones (one user does not need much), and my monthly bill is half of my old Verizon service. Yes - HALF.

It works, but may loose a bit of benefits when it comes to Network, since the Verizon doesn't have all T-Mobile bands, but close enough.

i will verify everything he said above as true as i have done the same. i can also verify that you flash a tmobile rom (be sure not to flash any baseband/modem or any other partition) and you can get VoLTE to work etc... The only thing missing is the 2100 MHz radio which means HSDPA+ will not work in all areas but that is a hardware limitation.

The Verizon SM-900V does support the 2100MHz radio, Band 4 just has to be enabled. I followed these instructions to get it working properly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582747
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530523
Notes: It says it's for the Note 3, but it does work on the Galaxy S5. You will need to use the stock ROM with the stock dialer for this to work.
I was wondering, can you point me in the right direction to a good T-Mobile ROM to try out, that you know will work properly on the 900V? It will have to work on the stock NE9 or NI2 firmware. I just don't have a whole lot of time to test between studying and taking all of these MIT online courses. I can tell you that it really sucks having a locked bootloader though Lol. Thanks in advance!
Where are you guys finding that Android Data Tool? I don't see it on the play store...by any chance, can someone post the apk?
