You need to add eri.xml to /data.

Also, if you look at your shipped build.prop you can get info out of there to change in your new build.prop.
The latest cm builds have a setting to change it.

[APP][2.3.4/2.3.5] Cyanogen Mms.apk working on Stock Rom

I managed to get the Mms.apk from Cyanogen working on my stock deodexed rom. Settings works perfectly. All I did was compile against the stock sources, and voila, it all works.
I have only tested it on my Rogers i9020a Nexus S, running 2.3.4. Let me know if you have any issues.
I have attached both an apk for package installers, and also a zip for cwm. I highly recommend making a backup of your existing Mms.apk before trying this one, just in case.
Sweet! Thanks for this.
So you decompiled and recompiled? Can u explain more?
i grabbed the latest code for Mms from the cyanogen project on github, and i just replaced the stock Mms source with the one from cyanogen in the android source. i then compiled it, tested it on my phone, and it worked!
Oh ok. Nice job! Works great on Oxygen 2.2.1
Works on bugless and installed fine for me normally, thanx!

Noobish question, what exactly is the difference between this Cyanogen MMS.apk and the stock MMS.apk?

The Cyanogen MMS is more configurable. You can toggle between the standard white background and black background, you can change the font size, SMS split options, change the attachment save folder, custom user agent and other things.

After updating to latest bugless release installing isn't working anymore, it keeps going back to stock after a reboot. I used root explorer to delete stock and stuck the apk in system/apps and matched permissions and that worked.
Quoting myself is odd but I wanted others to see both of my posts together.

i'm pretty sure you have to be rooted to use this, as i don't think you can get at the Mms.apk when your phone isn't rooted. i could be wrong on that. anyone else know for sure?

The OP has a zip for clockwork recovery so using it without root should be OK but you would have to unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash clockwork first which is hallway to root so just take the plunge lol

So now you have the free choice to choose your OS did you want stock OS? Do you want GB or ICS Stock? Or you want CM or MIUI there are so many guides here that tell you what you need to do just say what you want.
Besides wouldnt it be nicer to have a OS that not labeled on a Provider?
I would like ics on it

Well ICS stock rom OR CM?
You should Consider changing the Bootloader to the ICS Bootloader some bugs are resolved in this. and most new ROMĀ“s are build for the new one.
So CM, MIUI or Stock based?
Stock

[Q] ATT samsung 8.9 1957 rooted wont reconnect to ATT data

Purchased a rooted (to Jelly Bean) Samsung 8.9 LTE tab originally on ATT network. Previous owner ran it on T-Mobile. It wont recognize my ATT simcard. Simcard works fine in other 8.9 tablet non rooted.
I was advised by previous owner to:
Re Flash Rom
Re install Kernal
Re install modem
I am brand new to rooting anything. I think I have done this but no results.
Can anyone assist me?
It should not matter if its rooted. I have s rooted i957 and att works fine. Have you checked the apn (access point name)? Settings, wireless, more, mobile networks. The apn needs to be configured for att. Do you know what radio(modem) you're currently on?

Thank you for the reply ----right now I there is no information populated in the APN name. I have attempted to add APN name with duplicate information from another 8.9 tab at ATT store. The information wont save. I dont know what modem I am currently on (or supposed to be on).

That's your problem. You have a couple of choices. You can return the tab to stock att ics or you can keep rooted jb and flash a new radio. I.don't know your level of experience so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but do you know how to use odin or a custom recovery?

Not experienced with hacking/rooting android but am tech oriented person in all other areas. I know enough to throw the tab into the alternate boot mode (maybe you are calling recovery).
If you would be so kind to describe to me one time, I think I can get it.
my choice would be to not revert back to stock ATT, keep the rooted set up. Flash a new Radio.
BTW- I have tried "flashing" something with ATT and word MODEM in file name at root directory, but upon reboot still dont see APN info.
thanks in advance for your patience helping.

No problem helping you. We've all been there before. The alternate boot is recovery you probably have clockwork mod or twrp. I've worked with both. Finding a radio specifically for the i957 is a problem but the radios for the i727 work with no problem. It's what I have on my tab.
Download onto your tab http://d-h.st/NWW. This is the latest jb radio for the i727. You will flash this with your recovery. In the recovery there are options to wipe/format different things. You don't need to do any of those. Just flash/install the radio.
It should set up the apn's but if we have to we can manual set them up.

Do you have a baseband? It should be ucmc1. If this radio doesn't work there is one other that add a radio interface layer which you may need. The super user error can be corrected but we'll get to that. The other radio is http://d-h.st/pcr but let me know of you have s baseband first.

See off you can manually set the apn's on the first radio first. See my post above for the correct settings. Don't forget to save the apn before exiting by hitting the settings icon again. I've done that before.

[TUT] How to port Omega Rom (and other S4 roms) to our Sprint GS4

Hey guys, since my thread was closed, I was advised by ::indie:: to show you guys how to port his rom. This method should work for other International I9505 roms as well. Landon4444 made a thread on how to port it, but I'm taking more of TheAxman's approach.
1. Download Omega Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528
You'll need Notepad++ for this next part
2. Open the zip of the rom and add this line into the file build.prop (system/build.prop)
# Use CDMALTE Phone
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
^This gets data working for our phone.
3. Flash the modified rom and a custom TW kernel for our device.
4. Enjoy
Also, please don't make the mistake I have, and ask for permission before you port. Hope this helps you guys out.
sorry i dont understand.. i down loaded the rom.. well a diff rom.. on my pc.. i open the zip go into system then i see build prop at the bottom. but i cant open that file.. it says its a prop file? do i downloed the rom and flash it then use root explorer to add that line in?

Yeah I set it to that and it stays on that even after a reboot but no 4g after. Its weird because if I restore my Sprint Tw rom after that I don't have 4g either. I have to update prl twice to get it back. Same thing on Jellybeans rom and Hyperdrive. Its really a shame because them roms fly on this thing.

Tried adding the line prior to flash but it didnt stick for some reason... so I added it after the flash and LTE is working fine but my signal bars are dead. Any idea how to get them back?

You just need to get 7zip (or another compression tool), download a Cyanogenmod Nightly build, and replace the eri.xml in the rom with the one from Cyanogenmod :good:

I had the same issue with 4G signal bars and this is what I did on Omega and it fixed it.
I do not know how much of this is necessary and be sure to make a backup before you try.
I replaced the following files in the Omega ROM with those from a stock deodexed MDL ROM prior to flashing then flashed KTs latest kernel and wiped cache and dalvik before rebooting.
The entire CSC directory in /system
any .so file in system/lib that contained ril in its name.
libaudio-ril.so
libreference-ril.so
libril-qc-qmi-1.so
libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
libril.so
libsecril-client.so
In system/bin
rild
sec-ril
in /system
build.prop
If you do a google search for radio interface layer (RIL) you will find info that led me to replace the ril files
I then restored APNs using APN backup and Restore after booting.
Hope this helps

Do you still have 4g after rebooting?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
I wanna say yes but am on a different ROM now and never specifically tested that.
I did run it like that for several days and never lost 4G but don't know for sure if I ever rebooted.
I def had 4G signal bars though.

*UPDATED* [ZIP] All in One LTE Enabler, Flash ONE zip, and have BAND 4 LTE on any ROM

App now available with the same functionality a zips below!
More info about app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607221
Changelog:
12/7/2013: Updated zip for 4.4.1 Using cg87 98-33 and 98-27 hybrid modems . Updated script to try to prevent duplicate build.prop entries.
8/9/2013: Updated zip to remove the installation of the older outdated snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 audio file. This is not needed with the hybrid modem.
7/26/2013:
Updated to morrislee awesome hybrid radios. Works on 4.3 and 4.2! LTE awesomeness, and still has all the newer features (power management, audio on T-Mobile, etc.) from the newer radios.
What is it?:
I have created a AIO ZIP that can be flashed on your phones recovery and will enable lte.
It flashes the awesome.33/84 hybrid (or .27/84 depending on zip) radio/modem by morrislee, fixes audio by overwriting the necessary file, and automatically updates your build.prop with the needed changes.
ALSO this zip will put 2 CM Backup scripts in /system/addon.d , now if your phone supports CM Update scripts (CM of course,Carbon as well, and im sure alot more ROMS) you will only have to flash this ZIP once, it will automatically backup/restore the needed files and make the changes to enable LTE on each ROM Update, just like it currently does for GAPPS.

.27/98 radio and .33/98 hybrid modem bundles available for download above. Recommended for KitKat users.
.27/84 and .33/84 hybrid modems are recommended for jellybean users . Also available at above link
Manually: (Depending on ROM)
You might have to manually enable LTE either in Settings-->Wireless &Networks More.. --> Mobile networks --> Change network mode to "LTE /GSM/WCDMA" (CM10 automatically did this for me)
If that's not an option and LTE isn't enabled, dial *#*#4636#*#* and Tap WCDMA from under "Set preferred network type". Select "LTE/GSM auto".
Depending on ROM you will either have to select or input LTE APN under Settings--> Wireless &Networks More.. --> Access Point --> (TMobile LTE APN is fast.t-mobile.com , most roms have this included)
FAQ:
Q. What modem should I use .27/84 hybrid or .33/84 hybrid
A. Try them both, see which one you like better. Test speed, battery life and reception with both. Results are different for everyone.
Q. Does this work with AT&T, Vodafone, Rogers etc
A. Flashing this ZIP will enable Band 4 LTE on your nexus 4, T-Mobile uses this in the USA. Check for Band 4 carriers here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Glad to help , Let me know how it works for you!
Forgive my phone retardedness:
Will this work if I am on stock 4.2.2?
Do i just need to root my phone and install this?

Yes it will work on stock 4.2.2, however you will need to unlock bootloader, and flash a custom recovery , which is needed to flash this.
Works flawlessly. This is just what I was looking for. .33 killed audio on paranoid android, but with this zip it fixes that.

very nice, thanks
(im out of thanks at the moment)
Doesn't work. Flashed the cm 07092013 nightly over CM10.1.1 stable and the prop . build changes didn't stick.

Oh , my bad small error in update script. Going to upload fixed version now. The ZIP does work, and enable LTE fine , but CM Update scripts to keep it alive when you update ROM aren't coping over correctly.
EDIT: Links updated with new version
You should make a quick revert script to place everything the way it was before flashing this script.

Good idea ill work on that .
Thanks for this, any chance you'd feel like adding in the gps or tether fix? Are those even still an issue anymore? I've been out of the LTE game for so long lol. But its active in my area (has been for a month, apparently)

Glad to help my fellow N4 users.
I don't think so lol. GPS and tethering works fine for me.
LTE just recently lit up in my area

To my knowledge there's still no fix for the network location/aGPS issue. I'm on T-mobile and found that it didn't need to do any mods to get tethering working on LTE.

Very nice, thank you both for the prompt responses! I've been using a script for the past couple days rvrrytime I flash a rom, but i gotta restore the script manager app every time. Cuts out a couple steps for me. The script does some extra build prop edits but i think it's just the various network optimizations that have been passed around.
Thanks again, gonna have to flash something for the sake of it!

So..will it stick after reboot on stock ROM or do I need to manually enable it thru *#*#4636#*#*?
Just a quicky,
Does it work on AT&T 4G if I flash this package?

I think it depends on the ROM (not sure on stock) I still have to manually enable it on boot.
