Hey everyone, I uploaded a file on to the ftp called mms settings (currently in upload folder)
if you copy those files to your windows folder on your hermes, you should be able to get the mms configuration screen. A soft reset maybe required, but after you should be able to config and send your mms.
let me know if it works for you all as it did for me
Guys,
does anyone know any information about the .provxml files that are run on Hard Resst that reside in the ROM?? ie what executes them etc...
AFAIK they generally contain registry settings and are executed by PreAutorun.txt or PreConfig.txt (can't remember the exact name) found on \windows\ dir.... watch for the lines starting with "XML:".

So, I assume this is where data connection details and the like are loaded?

no its not... data connection details are loaded from CAB files on the ExtROM... Operators use these .provxml files onto of the base rom they receive from HTC... these files are read on a Cold Boot (Hard Reset) and their settings entered into the registry...
but they probably could be used for operator settings.... but im in the process of writing an Operator Setting application for World Wide use....
Actually in the VPA ROM I'm working on, data connections ARE stored in the provxml files.

on the cingular rom the data connection settings are set via xml and is stored in the rom, mms is set via cab, these are both NOT in the extended rom... was different than the wizard which had all the settings in the ext rom.
Connection Settings Are Stored In The XML Files On The Original Orange Rom And Are Executed By PreAutoRun.exe Reading Which Files To Execute From PreConfig.txt.
The Original Orange Rom Didn't Have An ExtRom And So Everything Had To Be Loaded From The Windows Directory.
Also Adding The Connection Settings XML To This File
"mxipcold_zzzbetaconfig_100.provxml"
And Then Cooking The File Into A Rom Will Install The XML Settings You Want At Startup And After Hard Reset.
Cheers

it all depends on how 'lazy' the operator feels hahaha... because the .provxml files are basically the same as the xml files... both used to configure your device with reg tweaks and operator settings... but.. i should have my Operator Settings app out this week finally
I have seen many posts from people having no data after flashing Slim 4.2
The cause for this is the apns-conf.xml file which resides in /System/etc included in Slim 4.2 only contains the APN settings for T-Mobile.
If your like myself being with a different carrier (Wind Mobile in my case) going into Mobile Network Settings/Access Point Names and resetting to defaults will not work.
The easy fix is to extract the file /system/etc/apns-conf.xml out of Samsung_Base_4.0.zip which does contain all the apn settings for different carriers and paste it into /system/etc with Root Explorer overwriting the T-Mobile only file that installed with 4.2 (Dont forget to mount RW or you will get a read only error when you try to paste the file)
Once you have the apns-conf.xml file from Samsung_Base_4.0.zip in your /system/etc directory go back into Mobile Network Settings/Access Point Names and reset to defaults and your APN settings should auto populate and thus fix your "No Data" issue.
I hope that helps those of you who have encountered this issue!
I figured out that the manually entered APNs are stored in /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml.
I entered my APN into it, and backed up the file.
Then I made a recovery install zip with the file.
I wiped out the data, and ran the install zip. It put the previously copied file in the correct location, but when I look at the APNs in the GUI nothing is listed.
Creating a new APN will overwrite the recently restored file. So I am guessing the OS is not seeing the new file.
Does anyone know why? Is there another entry in another file somewhere else that I need to change?
Hi,
having problems with my phone not showing the right location in google maps and other apps, this only happens on the mobile network really and in new areas i goto.
It always fixes to one location i have never been to,
What files can i change or check for errors ? i have replaced the network location apk in the system/app directory with one that worked on my old phone, should i run and install this apk ??
Thanks
the ability to fetch location is hardcoded in apps and gps_config.xml so swap these
Thanks for the reply,
I have replaced all the gapp files,
The only gps config file i can find is in System/etc but is called gps.conf
What app files should be replaced ?
Thanks for the help
It looks like its picking up the wrong cell ID from the tower perhaps ??
