[MOD] 4G and MMS on O3D roms - LG Thrill 4G

Ive been running the O3D 10j firmware for a couple days now, havent upgraded to 10k yet but heres something to help out with mms/4g and how I got them working.
MMS is as simple as changing the apn. For whatever reason trying to change the default apn has been spotty for me, so what I do is just create a new apn with the following information:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank
Now save that and select it as your default. mms should now be working. For whatever reason that is the only ATT apn info I could get to work with mms. If I try to use any other configuration for ATT I lose mms functionality. Which was frustrating because I kept copying the apn off my other ATT phones and mms would not work. Neither my Aria nor my Captivate need the password but apparently this phone NEEDS that password to get mms on P920 roms...
4G is a little more complicated and, at the moment, has a trade-off. So from here you have to make a decision, because I have as of yet been able to fix this issue. But you have to choose to either have 4G and use a 3rd party dialer/contacts app OR you can keep the default apps and not have 4g. You're call but here how its done. Go into /system/etc/flex/flex.xml and change it to read like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Flexinfo>
<Flexinfo
FLEX_COUNTRY_CODE="US"
FLEX_OPERATOR_CODE="ATT"
FLEX_MCC_CODE="310"
FLEX_MNC_CODE="410"
FLEX_REGION_CODE="0"
FLEX_SIMLOCK_ON="0"
FLEX_MODEL_CODE="0" />
</Flexinfo>
Now you should be getting the H+ symbol in the notification bar AND the up/down arrows. If you dont have the arrows then your apn is set incorrectly. If you dont have the H+ then you messed up in the flex.xml file.
Some notes:
Ive tried replacing the default Phone.apk/Contacts.apk with their equivalents from aosp roms, O3D roms, and Thrill roms. None of them have any affect on the issue. And trying to change the TelephonyProvider.apk has only resulted in frequent FC's. I can only assume its a framework issue but since I use a 3rd party dialer anyways Im not inclined to look into it.
I removed the default Contacts.apk because I got the occasional FC when ending a phone call. Removing it has no effect on anything since you cant use the default contacts app with the above 4G method. You have to keep the stock Phone.apk or you will lose the ability to make changes to your apn. It does not however affect your ability to make/receive calls with a 3rd party app. ContactsProvider.apk is also required or you wont be able to sync contacts to your phone.
Speaking of 3rd party dialers, Ive tested GoContacts and DialerOne so far and both work with no issues what so ever and have built in contacts functionality. Im going to assume there are many more that work as well.
So now theres really no excuse not to dive into the wide world of O3D roms!
EDIT: Just remembered that the time will be wrong after this too. Im trying to remember what I did to fix that. In the mean time you can go to menu>settings>Date & Time> and manually set the time. Its just that the GMT is being calculated incorrectly for each timezone so it gets the hour wrong so you need to set it manually. The minutes are correct though, you dont need to mess with those.

That's awesome news callmearia! Much appreciation for all the hard work you put in to get this working. Ill try this out 2nite when i get home. Thanks again

Wait, you're telling me that I can run O3D roms on my Thrill? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just picked one of these up a few days ago and still learning more about it.

Have you tried also doing the telephony.apk? I noticed the Thrill and O3D have different sized telephony.apk sizes by a significant amount. I will try and test myself sometime tomorrow or Monday depending on my schedule.

3g SHOULD just work. But if not then go into your stock rom and copy the contents of /system/etc/flex/flex.xml and oaste them into the same file on your o3d rom. You might also want to get the stock apn settings off your phone to setup an apn on your o3d rom. Just follow the directions from the original post. I would recommend trying to change the apn first an then if that doesnt work go ahead try modifying your flex.xml file necuse the latter can cause issues.

The apn wont add the h+. That's where the flex.xml comes in. The apn is just for mms.
I have ThaiZ booted right now but with Franlovs kernel and the only time I get a fc is if I try to use the stock dialer or contacts app. Is that what you're doing or are the fcs happening all the time? This is why the 3rd party dialer/contact app is required.

Is the phone model a P925 or P920? I tried to look into it and Claro does offer 4g, although I couldn't determine on what devices.

So your saying i need to remove the phone and contacts apk files completely.. thought i could just not use them..
Yes. Im getting constant fc's when i have the modified flex.xml..
unless im wrong.. im gonna try deleting the phone.apk and contacts.apk files.. um.. later..
could you save a tired guy the trouble of sifting through search results and lemme know the filepath for said apk files?

Don't remove phone.apk. Too many things dependant on it. Contacts.apk is in /system/app/Contacts.apk
Have you messed with anything telephony related? That's when I started getting a lot of fc's.

Mms

I'm using zenexp 9.7 rom. Works perfect but I decided to try something different so I downloaded the cm7. Full 8 cyanogen and I loved it but certain mms won't download it tells me download unsuccessful so I went back to Zenexp no issues there wit mms so my question is am I doing something wrong why can't I get certain mms to download?
intermittent mms is a known issue for CM roms, but I would say that the goodies you get with CM7 gingerbread specifically, it's worth not getting a few mms IMO.
Yeah, I get that too. He's right though. Maybe one day it'll get fixed.
I've actually had this problem with froyo too, not just GB. That's why I'm back on a sense ROM. It's outdated but everything I need works, as I get and send a ton of picture mail for work. Unfortunately sacrifices sometimes need to be made. Sigh...

I think I've read something about how Sprint uses an "uncommon" method for handling mms, and therefore its not 100% compatible with AOSP/non-Sprint ROMS.
A workaround may be available though. This is just a thought, and I don't send/rcv many mms so I cannot easily test it. Just throwing it out there and maybe someone can provide results.
I know you can access your mms via your profile on Sprint's website. I assume that all mms still go to your account, regardless of whether or not you can view them traditionally on the phone. Based on that assumption, I would think that you could bookmark a link to the webpage and view the missed mms from the browser in CM7.
Any thoughts?

(SUCCESS)DEBRAND/Working 3D converter/Running 10k smooth and perfect.

I have been waiting for someone to let me know if this would work but since i didnt get a response i figured i wouod just give it a shot. So to anyone else wanting the Optimus firmware and features, this is what u do.
Root your Thrill 4G with one click
Flash Clockwork Mod recovery
Download the new 10K Firmware flashable zip and put on root of sd card
Boot into CWM recovery with power+3D+volume down
Make backup
Wipe data,cache,dalvik (i did 3 times each)
Install the firmware zip
Reboot and wait. It took 5 min to boot
Done... Now you can play Mario Kart in 3D or anything else u want, and no more at&t crap.

url to 10K Firmware ???
I was definitely interested in doing this but the lack of 4g is a deal breaker for me.
Hi, This is link for v10k European Open in *.zip format.
DOWNLOAD V10K.zip
Yesss! It really works! I just flashed European 10K without any problems.
Thanks!
Yes but, no 4G and does your MMS work????
If 3g data/MMS not working, try manually edit APNs.
I haven't installed, all O3D roms I have installed except for CM7 MMS hasn't worked even with the correct APN either on no type or type set to "mms,supl"
Does anyone know a way of unlocking now without having to pay for an unlock code?? Thanks

btw, i was able to debranded it like OP stated. I notice that the 3dgame converter is there...woohoo..was able to convert angry bird to 3d.
UPDATE
hey guys just installed this a few hrs ago and i have to say its nice to have the ability to use 2g or HSPA or even 3G when there is no HSPA. the battery life is a little better from what i can see. my download speed over cell network is close to 875KB which is pretty damn good .my upload is at 190KB. so far everything seems to be working good . will update once i see an issue .

does the 4g (HSPA+) work with this, or will it work if there is an APN change that you have to do.
is there any way to get rid of this weird "AT&T" thing that appears on my lock screen? it has a picture of a sim card next to it
also, is there something wrong with the OTA? it doesn't work on my phone...is it because of this mod?
Yeah mafiadesi when you put roms on your phone (or I think even using CWR) will make it so your can't get OTA's because the phone won't how to update through OTA.
is there a time delay in the v10k rom? i flashed one of the roms from ThiaiZ over at the LG Optimus 3D forums and when i set the time to "Automatic" there was a delay of 4 hrs, its not a big deal seeing you can manually set it, but i am just wondering...
And as a side note, is there any difference between the At&t Thrill and Rogers LG Optimus 3D (my box still say P925G on it)
I noticed the delay too. It was exactly corresponding to my time zone (-5 hrs).

Also, if you try to delete any home screen which is before default home screen, the launcher crashes.
For example, if I have 5 screens, with 3rd as default, if I try to delete 1/2 the launcher will crash. Anybody experiencing similar thing?

yeah i had the same problem too, but it would only happen the first time i tried to delete a screen, after that it was running fine
Ps just have a very quick question, can i restore to stock using the mobile support tool or will that give me a brick?! :S
It still happens to me. No FC if I delete screens after the default, but anything before gives me a FC.
I have no idea This is my first rom flash on this phone. Still have to figure out how to go back, but I saw a thread in development section about going to stock, I would rather use that.

[Q] XT883 on GSM showing number instead of contact name

hey guys,
testing the chinese xt883 stock rom these days.
apart from extensive battery drain i have one big problem:
all my contacts (which are about 500) are displayed in contacts view but when someone calls me the phone won't show the assiocated contact name to the number but only the caller id itself!?
when i go to call list and add the same number again to the contact the next time the person calls me the contact name is correctly associated and displayed.
same problem in text messaging also, but not with every contact?!
you see i don't want to manually edit all my contacts to make the phone know which number belongs to which contact ...
anyone know how to fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this the xt883 ROM on an xt862 for gsm functionality? If so, any reason in particular you chose this ROM? Do you know about flashing the xt883 radio.img to get gsm on the xt862? It works great and doesn't force me to use the Chinese ROM lol.
sure i know about flashing the radio.img only but i also want the other benefits of the xt883, like call firewall, call record, bluetooth transfer, hardware decoding and so on.
what's included in the radio.img? is the cell standby issue fixed when flashing the radio.img only?
thanks!
Sent from my XT883 using XDA App
Do you mean the battery life due to having the cell radio on standby? I've only used the phone on T-Mobile so I don't really have a comparison for that. I've noticed wifi reception is a little weak, so I'm wondering if that has to do with the radio.img. I read that the xt883 is only rated for 802.11 b/g, so that would explain it.
I mainly use stock xt862 ROM because I tried the xt883 ROM and didn't like having to do the work around for Gapps and all the Chinese bloatware included. I didn't know about any exclusive benefits, but I don't think I'd need them now that you mention them.
I really just wanted gsm functionality and the stock ROM with the radio tweak works just fine for that.

Also, if you're interested in seeing what it includes, you can look in the dev section where the thread is and just download the zip to look at the files.

To solve it I've added the country code to all the contacts.

i also got the same problem , i had restored all contacts and sms via app.
i imported the contacts to sdcard, then via file manager opened the vcf file manually and my contacts were updated again.
then all contacts displayed correctly when calls came or anything.

[Q] SCH-i800 [Phone Enable]

I really hate to start this back up about enabling phone support on sch-i800. But the lack of post/info about it is very annoying. We know that hardware is there to make it work. But how far is the software limiting us on this fact? I myself have mine on a voice plan with Page Plus and could in theory make call's if I can get the tab to support it. I have made it as far to get the Tab it self activated and programmed onto Page Plus, and Framework-res.apk edit for the dialer to show. But when it trys to call out it just shut's the call down and I'm back at the dialer. If anyone could shed a little light my way I would be grateful. Anymore apk's i should edit? more in the framework somewhere? Any info guys ? I have full service and 3g perfect on this thing.

Hey Haxz...I grabbed just a 3rd party dialer..and it tries to make a call..and closes...I was wondering if you ever found a way in to Diag Mode on CM10 so edits can be done such as web settings and prl updates with qpst...I have mine running Cricket...Thanks..
Actually I was able to get into diag mode using a command line in terminal emulator. Looks like original post was by autoprime I think, so thanks to him. This line worked for me. echo MODEM USB > /sys/class/sec/switch/usb_sel. I was running cm9 roms also.

I found 2 scripts in the Sprint section that click click and you can switch between PDA and Modem..But one thing....I can get web settings to work under GB but no ICS/Jelly Bean Roms will work with Data period..I have re-checked the settings dozens of times..and nothing...One thing just in case you need the info...To change APN settings...I had to use the Sprint modem file...If you try to write in qpst with the Verizon modem file the settings won't take..Thanks for the response on it...
This thread is a few months old but I wanted to post that apparently the trick to getting voice back is to replace the modem.bin from a samsung fascinate because it's the same dialer hardware.
I haven't done this as it's beyond my abilities but I've read it elsewhere.
If anyone successfully tests this, perhaps they can make a clockworkmod zip file that we can flash over cm10.1

Verizon users what's your APN setting for MMS?

I am having MMS issues where I can't get MMS and I have looked and looked for correct APN for Verizon and LP. I am still on 502 but I will like to know what are the settings in your APN that you are using there seem to be more than the ONE that I have...mine looks like pic but I still don't have full success..

From my understanding you can't set apn's on verizon they are auto programmed by the sim card. As for mms issues do you by chance have moab adblocker installed if so you need to add mms.vtext.com to your whitelist in adblocker. I had the same issues and doing this solved them. Hope this helps you out.

Thx for this info. I do run AdFree which I use in my custom rooted rom. I never thought to look there not sure if adfree could be part the issue.
I was going to ask if stock, but once my VZ N6 and all those others came with 5.1 installed already, it provides the answer.
When I was on FML, zzpianoman made this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58148948&postcount=3023
Flash it in recovery and let us know if it makes it better, it's worked for plenty of others, myself included, though I no longer need on my N6 stock (for the moment).
