[HowTo] Repair Crashing APN settings [Updated 11/08/10] - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I've read a lot of posts from people complaining about APN settings causing crash of com.android.settings process. This is my solution how to repair it. It's been tested with matt froyo1.4 & 1.5, and FroyoStone builds. Hope it will help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7514490&postcount=1179
Update:
Above solution is not working for some people. It is because the whole database with providers on all builds where data.img were increased from 256 to 512 is messed up. I've extracted the proper one from mattc froyo build 1.3a. Download it, unzip it, and copy telephony.db into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases folder (I've used root explorer to do it). Then reboot system to reload database.
Cheers

Thanks Rogerek77 for this solution that works well
No more crash since I apply your tip...

Can also confirm this sorts out the APN error.....thanks for sharing!

Which Adroid ROM ?

@btld_ls1 & @thesweeney
Can you access APN settings after deleting APN list ?? (should be empty). Maybe APN Backup is not deleting the list. I will upload good list later (ready to import), at the moment I'm going to work.
Cheers

Just swapped out to the latest build here and still seeing "com.android.settings" crashes, tried to copy over the lastest db but have found that internal file explorers cannot enter the \data directory, if I try with driodexplorer - it says it has copied the file - but it has not really, this something to do with the root permissions or just bad luck?

[Q] Replacing build.prop?

hi!
in order to test something, i need to replace the build.prop in root/system with a modified one. but trying to delete this file with astro manager displays an error message, and just copying the modified build.prop over the old one doesn't work too (nothing happens).
so my question is: how do you replace such a file?
thanks in advance for your help
are you serious!?!?!?
If the build.prop is located on the Android folder IT HAS TO BE A SYSTEM FILE !!!
if you mod the system files you could break android or the system just won't let you do it, you will need R and W privileges to do that.
edit the system files from your PC or just boot up in to windows mobile.
use some common scene next time.
hope it helps!

Do you use a cyanogen build?
yes and there is already a cyanogen rom posted with the proper build.prop fixed, so you won't have to edit anything, just search for it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
mmmh actually cyanogen made things easy to replace a system file, just copy your file into sdcard/android/root/system and reboot.
thanks for your help / posts. but unfortunately they're not helpful.
yes, i am serious! and yes, of course it's a system file. i know as well that modification might brick android.
there are reasons for modifying this file. some people seem to be able to, e.g. for chaning screen point density or modify the data passthrough.
so, please tell me, how can i edit/modify a system file from pc or windows mobile when its within the data.img-file?
thanks for any tips / hints on this.
use root explorer

Thank you VERY much for your help - I finally got it to work by listening your instructions. It is simply different if you have HD2 and plus CM mod. That figures why it was going back all the time to 180 instead of changing it - because it runs from sd card and that's where it needs to be replaced as well ...

Cricket mms fix for fresh rom

I managed to fix mms sending on cricket. I edited default.xml in /system/customize/MNS and Mms.apk. Now my picture message works perfectly on my phone.
So in order to install files you need to download them and then unzip default.zip.
You need to place both filies inc c:\ drive.
Now
adb push c:\Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
adb push default.xml /system/customize/MNS/default.xml
adb reboot
Once your phone reboots it should work fine with picture messages.
Did anyone try this let me know how this works for you. I would post my apn settings but I use full android plan. Let me know how this works for you guys.
Now this is something we need to get the mms receive working in miui but for sprint
Sent from my HTC Evo using Tapatalk
This for cricket it allows to receive and send picture message. I tested with verizon and t mobile customers and works realy fast.
Could you fix the one for the miui rom it only sends mms but dont receive
Sent from my HTC Evo using Tapatalk
hmm interesting lemme try summin
Did you modify MMS.apk and fix what was causing it not to send properly? Is this a modified MMS from a Sprint rom? Or one from a Verizon roms like the rest of us have been using?
Would you mind sharing?
Also, are you capable of MMS while wifi is on by any chance?
NICE!
Thanks for sharing....
I will try and repost my results I also am on the android plan this is my apn settings..
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#here@mycricket.com" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>
Thanks to deathsled... for the apn
WHOA, Im ecstatic!
You did it!
I confirm this solution to be working on my favorite ROM solution...
VirusROM BASE SENSE RC3 with Carbon Theme...
I could not use the adb push method as I am on the road and forgot to grab my micro usb cable...
1. I used Root Explorer to first delete mms.apk from /system/app
2. I copied mms.apk to /system/app
3. Using Root Explorer I over wrote default.xml/system/customize/MNS/default.xml
4. Reboot
5.
A. To my surprise I did not have a messaging app in the app drawer upon boot?
B. Using Root Explorer I navigated my SD card to folder I had placed mms.apk and launched mms.apk thus installing.
6. Downloaded and installed APN Backup, removed current apn.
7. I used the above posted APN.xml after modifying the "red" string with my info, thanks deathsled provided and apn.xml
8. Rebooted
9. SUCCESS!
I figure some of the steps may not be necessary how ever I documented the exact process and procedure in which I now have functioning MMS..
tritron777 Major props to you man!!! You just killed it man!!!!
This is from sprint rom mms.apk and default.xml. I did not try to send mms over wifi.
I believe that for someone using proxy they can use apn proxy by changing this mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" to mmsproxy="wap.mycricket.coml" mmsport="8080"
Well I found out that modification to default.xml also changed the market. It restored download section. The problem with sending mms over wifi is that we mms server is protected by cricket or any carrier so it limited by range of ip addresses so we can't connect because we are not on a network. So the only way to make this work is to have stop wireless connection and start data the moment we eant to send mms.
What was the issue with the market download section?
I did not have an issue with it that I noticed?

Proxy information is not needed on cricket regardless of the plan. (im on a proxy plan and don't have any in there and its fine)
Question for you, was all that you modified was the:
Mms.apk>smali>com>android>mms>transport>HttpUtils.smali
X-SPRINT-MDN to X-Cricket-MDN?
Or were there other internal changes to the Mms.apk file needed? reason im asking is i would like to do the same for hero users as well since this seems to plague all sprint roms and i have been digging to find the root cause for awhile
That the change I made to mms.apk wasto change X-MDN to X-Cricket-MDN I guess metropc would need X-metropc-MDN. Now default.xml I changed all sprint references to
the way ZIO shows it self. Now that gets market back to the way it was before sprint section was added

Awesome thanks for the info. Going to try to correct this for hero's now as well
and now we know!
Next up, fix MMS under AOSP/non sense roms for Cricket. Or does that work and I'm retarded? I couldn't find anywhere to set the MMS size and I think that might be the only problem.
Just in case I have a backup of the Mms.apk from a brand new Samsung epic. Just email or PM me. no I do not charge for this. And if anyone can host the file i will be more than glad to share.
the Mms.apk does remove the Mms from the phone. when i try to reinstall it from the phone using root explorer it says "Parse Error there is a problem parsing the package." does anyone know what i can do to fix this error?
Not related but... anyone get Metro MMS working yet? I have a working APN from my bros Eris and I cant get it working at all... How would one edit the Mms.apk?

MIUI MMS Size Fix - 1.12.9, 1.12.16 (MMS Size Changed), 2.3.4a

So, i got fed up with dealing with thumbnail MMS for TMOUS while using MIUI, and i dont believe using a different txt messaging app is a viable solution, thus, i took matters into my own hands and edited the UA in the messaging app to NexusOne.
!!!NEW CHANGES!!!
This uses the N95 UA and Uaprof for carrier compatibility reasons.
The MMS Size has been changed to 120000 per request from relldroid
I tested this on my own phone without any issues.
Based off of 1.12.16, 1.12.9 and the latest stable 2.3.4a
Simply boot into CWRecovery and flash like any other update
Let me know of any issues, and i'll try to help as much as possible
Thank you.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Download file for your chosen build
2) Save it to your SDCARD (root dir is the easiest)
3) Boot into CWM Recovery
4) Select "load zip from SDCARD"
5) Select zip file on SDCARD
6) Reboot
-6a) It can be considered safe measure to wipe the cache and Dalvik cache prior to rebooting. No harm no foul
--Alternatively, if you use Rom Manager, you can use that as well. That program works directly with CWM Recovery.
How-To for yourselves
Hard Method;
Req - SystemUI.apk, Framework.apk, MMS.apk (all from the same build, no mismatching) APKManager (google is your friend )
1, install APKManager
2, move SystemUI.apk -> c:\users\*your username here*\APKTool\
3, rename Framework.apk -> 1.apk
4, move 1.apk -? c:\users\*your username here*\APKTool\Framework\
5, move MMS.apk -> ~\apkmanager\place-apk-here-for-editing
6, run apkmanager from the installed directory (instructions of how to run it is with the download)
7, decompile mms.apk
8, within the \projects\ folder, there will be a folder labeled MMS, locate the xml file mms_config
9, edit the string userAgent -> NexusOne (other useagents can also work, NexusOne is a known working one for HD2 + TMOBILE)
10, once edited, compile, hit yes, then yes
11, follow the one screen instructions (it's straight forward)
12, rename the newly created apk unsignedMMS.apk (located in \place-apk-here-for-modding) to MMS.apk
13, place the new MMS.apk into the \system of your phone
14, reboot
Easy method:
Req - latest MMS fix
1, download my latest fix
2, unzip
3, unzip the mms.apk (treating the mms.apk as a zip file)
4, locate mms_config.xml
5, copy to the new mms.apk (again, treating as a zip file
6, move to \system of your phone
7, reboot
Use only the above instructions if you know what you are doing, I take no responsibilities in any damage/issues caused by the provided methods.

Im using JW MIUI 1.4.29 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050645
How i went about it is that i put the mms.apk in the root of my sd card using ES File Explorer (which supports system rw mounting) then copied the file into \system\app\, overwriting the original.
If you try to install it as a normal apk, it will reject it, since it's a system app

That is one way to resolve the issue, tho thats the gingerbread default mms apk, not the miui verson.
i've replaced the apk in the zip with the one that i'm using for messaging so it should work with miui builds.

MIUI is a custom android suit, like how sense is for android. It originally started out as a knock off from the iPhone but evolved into something more unique. Go check it out @ www.miuiandroid.com, they update the rom once a week, every friday
Still a novice here....
How do you flash the size fix with the zip file?
Do I just unzip the file using root explorer?q
Force close

Howto: Install AOSP EMail + Exchange(Corporate)/ActiveSync on Gingerbread/CM7 ROMs.

This guide comes with no guarantee. Use at your own risk. Am not responsible for missed love letters and/or any other loss caused by following this guide.
Joestone’s Gingerbread has EMail app and has support for Exchange Sync(Corporate Account). However, Swiftdroid 2.0 M6 lacks this. Email.apk ripped from Joestone’s Gingerbread works perfectly with Swiftdroid 2.0 M6.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Update:
Would work on most CM7/Gingerbread builds and may work on many CM6/Froyo.
I’m attaching a copy of Email.apk. It is from Joestone's Gingerbread which is from AOSP and comes with Apache License.
You should install the provided apk as a system app on your Swiftdroid 2.0 M6 system.
Installing using Root Explorer.
Download the attached Email.apk to somewhere in the SD card.
Open Root Explorer.
Navigate to the downloaded to EMail.apk and copy it.
Navigate to /system/ and tap mount as r/w.
After /system/ is mounted as r/w, navigate to /system/app and paste Email.apk.
Long-press newly pasted Email.apk and select Permissions.
Change permissions by checking Read for User, Group and Others. Also, check Writer for User. This should change the file permissions to rw-r--r-- just like all the other apps.
Last but not the least, restart your phone immediately.
That’s it. Now, when you reboot, you should see EMail in the app drawer and you should also be able to add “Corporate” account by going to Settings > Accounts and Services > New Account.
I have tested this on my LG GT540 Optimus running Swiftdroid 2.0 M6. This may work on other 2.3/2.2 builds on any ROM/phone that lacks the Email app which is default in AOSP.
Advanced users may wish to install the apk via Terminal Emulator. Should you decided to install via Terminal or ADB Shell, the steps are the same. You should first mount /system/ as read/write. Then, copy the Email.apk to system/app. Then, change permissions of system/app/Email.apk as rw-r--r--. There are plenty of other guides on how to install apks as system apps. The same steps apply here. I’d skip the details.
I’d like to remind you all that Hotmail(Windows Live Mail) now supports Microsoft Exchange Sync(and, thus push email) for all users including free users and this is the main reason I wanted Exchange. =D
Just in case you want to setup your Live Id(Hotmail) with Android, here are the settings.
Domain: (Nothing. Not even space.)
Username: Your full email id.
Server: m.hotmail.com (SSL: enabled)
Go here for a detailed guide with step-by-step illustrations.

Well, this method worked out for me. I've synced two accounts already. EMail seems to be working fine.
Most of the time, the required libs are packaged with the apk I guess. And, when you reboot, the system should install(extract) the apk, I think.
Further, like I said earlier, EMail should not need any low level access to drivers and stuff. It basically needs access to write to contacts, calendar and data storage as well as internet. All of which should be accessed using the Android API. So, it should work. This was my assumption when I started looking around.
I do not know why the EMail was omitted but CM7 does have the EMail built-in.
Anyway, as long as it can fetch my emails, am happy. =)
were is the Email.apk file in your startpost?
For some reason or other, and I cannot see the file either. Am on mobile. I'll reupload if I cannot see it desktop either.

Out of interest does the cm7 m6 version have the email apk version in it or is it missing from there as well

All the later versions including M6, M5 do not have an email apk. This was purposely omitted by Mur4ik I believe. I guess he doesn't use it. This apk was extracted from Joestone's AOSP Gingerbread and should technically work on any Gingerbread or CM7 build.
So good to have this apk, it works a treat and have been getting email no worries THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

It's not a bug. lol. The error speaks for itself. Are you using Mur4ik modified partition? It just means system partition is full. You can check free space by typing df in terminal emulator or adb shell df.
You need approximately 2MB free space for this app. Leave at least 5-10% free space in system partition.

Install it on data/app(as a user app). Don't move it to SD. There won't be any problems but basically an EMail app is something you want to be on your phone always even when you have the SD removed.

Wif-Fi=Error= no 3.1.. help! :(

so I had replaced the original WPA-suplicant file so I could connect to ad hoc networks. Had lost the original WPA file. someone posted up a copy of the original. uploaded to tab. replaced the old (Ad hoc friendly) with "original", now my Wi-Fi states ERROR, rebooted PC, same, put in the other WPA-supplicant file I had originally, still getting the same ERROR on Wi-Fi. any suggestions? something tells me I was suppose to disabled wifi before I did that, forgot.. chit..
FIX:
had to hold on the WPA_SUPPLICANT file and select view permissions
check/tick all the boxes in the first two columns and the first 2 in the last column.
Wifi is back ON! (THANK GOODNESS!!)
now to see if 3.1 installs.. wish me luck!
Nope. 3.1 failed to install... OMG!!! >,<
So I dont have my original WPA_Supplicant file.
Someone on another thread posted up theyre original WPA_Supplicant file.
I replaced the old one with his original one.
I did not make any other changes to my tab when I had root.
What could be the problem? anyway to bypass this & get 3.1 installed?
I did similar and it completely f*cked me up.
I factory reset and now my wifi just scans with out anything coming up. UGH.

Here is the fix for your issue..
i had exactly the same problem that you described and this file (original wpa_supplicant.zip) helped and solved my issue..i'm now running Honeycomb 3.1
Solution posted by Bob here: (just correct the "www" on the link below before opening)

Here's the WPA_Supplicant from my A500, after the 3.1 update. Hope this works for you guys.
I'm not sure what the extension is for the A500, but I had to add .zip to be able to upload it. Try removing the .zip before using it. Also, remove the 'original'. I added that to keep it straight on my tablet.
Good Luck.

did you change the permissions on the file after copying that on /system/bin?
with gingerbreak.apk, you have to root ur device.(download and install gingerbeak.apk!! is available here in forum)
Then i used "es file explorer" (file explorer with root permissions) from the market. In the settings of the program, go to the root options and check the available two boxes before you copy the file in the system directory.
After copying the file, change the permissions as follow:
you have to check all the boxes for the first 2 columns and the first 2 for the last column; so at the end you should have: rwxrwxrw-
After that, go again on the settings of the program,
1. uncheck the two boxes,
2. go to installed gingerbreak app and unroot your device.. --> device will restart
after the restart go to the system from settings of the device and check if an update is available to your device and download it.. then install
it will work.
Good Luck

Ahh yes, that's it. I remember that originally, but I couldn't remember what the permissions settings were for and that was it!
Thanks,
could someone please post the original wpa_supplicant file? Every one that i have come across in the xda-developers forums i get the following error when trying to transfer it to my tablet "cannot copy item - the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected". If i try to extract the file i get "cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive." Im at a lost so any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
