Hey guys,
I have been trying out some different ROMs trying to pick out a daily and I have ran into a very annoying problem. When I download a sense ROM I cannot send MMS through Handcent or ChompSMS. However, the stock messaging app works like a charm when sending them. The only problem is that I hate the stock messaging app.
I always wipe and don't flash any other zips before I try sending the MMS and it still doesn't work. The weird thing is that I can use Handcent and ChompSMS on the CM6 ROM.
I've tried the APN method and factory data resets. Nothing.
Here's the sense ROMs I have tried with no luck:
-Myn's RLS2 and 3
-Nil's business sense
-Virtuous v3.1.0
Any suggestions???

Downloading right now..
Edit: No luck on skyraider either
Ok, so I actually unrooted my phone to try and fix this problem. I did these steps in order.
-Unrooted
-Synced my gmail account
-Went into the market and downloaded Gallery 3D and ChompSMS
-Opened Gallery3D and tried to send a picture, no luck
-Installed HandcentSMS and tried to send a picture, no luck
I didn't try anything fancy, no unnecessary downloads and didn't flash ANYTHING.. Something has to be wrong here, since the stock messaging app works.
This has been all kinds of frustrating..
It may be the kernel that cm uses. Not that knowledgable about kernels but I know that a lot of roms come pre stocked with a certain one.

I've experimented with different kernels for Sense and still no luck..
I still don't understand how when I unrooted my phone and EVERYTHING was stock, I still couldn't send MMS through Handcent or Chomp... So confusing.
Just downloaded handcent and it worked fine. Running skyraider 3.3 s-off. Nothing other than setcpu and minor tweak.

I am running dj05, superclean 0.9, and stupidfast 12/19. When I try to add an email attacment I get a FC. This doesn't happen in the gmail app, just native email. I've tried fixing permissions and other kernels, no luck. Should I try a new ROM. If so any suggestions?

Try deleting the email apk with File Manager, Root Explorer, Titanium, or whatever you use. Then go to Rom Manager, Download Rom, sonofskywalker, and flash the email.apk from there (I think it is under stock apps or something like that). If that doesn't work, I would try sonofskywalker's newest ROM.
BTW: I have not seen this issue before. Mine seems to be working fine (I usually send attachments with gmail). It may simply be a corrupted apk ..... not sure.
You could also try a different kernel. There were several reports of problems with the last few kernel's that geeknik released. Not sure why the kernel would cause a problem, but if nothing else works, it'd be worth a shot.
@benbowden
Thanks for the tip. The reinstall didn't help the problem but you taught me a valuable technique. I'm off to try a new rom as new kernels didn't help. At least the ones I tried.

Seems the stock email just sucks. F it I'll use K-9.
Anyone care to try this to confirm it works???
Heres how I fixed it....
Somewhere along the way I saved an mms.apk. I think from JI6 or something else. It was my last mms that worked anywho...So I used Root Explorer and moved my AOSP mms out of system/app and moved mms.apk into its place and set permissions rw-r--r-- and sent a pic message and it went thru. So I then put the AOSP mms from the OP(Bionix-v) back into the system/app and reset permissions to rw-r--r-- and tried it again and it works now.
Someone also said to export contacts to sim and use those but didn't need to try that route.
***Edit Wife tried the export contacts....didn't work for her
So ..find an mms.apk that worked for you last (ugly blue & yellow bubbles) and try it. Astro , Super Manger and the like should work
Make sure to move your current MMS.apk out or copy it so that you can place it back to see if it works (I used the AOSP because I dont like the stock mms)
Ugly Stock MMS that worked for me http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5S45Z54B
Added link to stock mms that worked for me..
My MMS wasn't working. I installed GoMMS, sent one message, uninstalled GoMMS and now default MMS works fine...

Hmmm.. so maybe the code gets broken somewhere along the line and inducing another mms.apk or mms app and then going back fixes the issue.
what rom are you using? I have never had an issue with MMS using Stock rom.

I ve only ever used Team Whiskey ROMs.. from original Bionix to Fusion to Obsidian/Nero etc etc... and Stock. My wife has this problem coming from JI6 OTA to KA6 Kies.. I had this problem on every ROM other then JI6 OTA and I'm on Bionix V.. I fixed mine by doing what I posted in the OP...wife doesn't want her's rooted or anything other than stock.
well I upgrade from JI6 to KA6 using Kies and I don't have an issue with MMS...what issue are you having? blurry pics?
Another method that worked for me was to go into "manage applications" and "clear data" for the messaging app. Of course, it deleted all my messages, but I don't hang on to them, so it didn't matter to me.
YMMV

I'm trying to access the carrier settings like you would do on a Sense Rom for the EPST. Just trying to configure my mms settings. Any help would be great.
Nope. Can't be done in CM7 because EPST is not open-source.
Download a Sense ROM, Nandroid backup CM7, flash Sense, edit settings, wipe everything, restore CM7.
Maybe when the Nexus S 4G comes out, EPST will be made open-source, and can be ported to the EVO, Shift, Heroc, Bravoc, etc.
Tried that and it's still not working :/
Probably better off with Sense for the time being.

Please let me know when you figure out how to change ##3282# settings on Gingerbread or CM7
EDIT: Ended up installing GO SMS PRO and configured the MMS stuff manually, now I can send from my EVO

You didn't use a sense rom based on a stock EVO 4g ota. My guess is you used a desire z port or kingdom which may or may not work. Try sprint lovers 3.70. It has never failed me.

Long time reader, first time poster!
So I've been switching between Cm mod and the stock rom a few times yesterday. When I tried sending out a few mms (video and/or pictures) and it seems to stop working now...I've read i may need to reinstall the stock mms.apk pack but I don't even know where to begin!
Is there any ideas where I should go from here?

what ROM are you currently on? What are you using to send the MMS?
I have a similar problem on CM7 using Handcent. MMS don't send, but do come through most (if not all) of the time.
So instead of tinkering with the problem, I backed everything up and went with mik's re-engineered rom with a 1.5ghz overlcock kernel. I appreciate the suggestions though, Thanks!
could someone explain to me how to replace the sms app in sense roms with the one from cm7, i have already copied the mms.apk from my cm7 rom but am unsure on what to do next, could someone please explain, thanks
no one
No one knows !!
Just an idea: try to install it like any other app? Or doesn't that work?
I'll try

I'll (try) to help;
1st: Using adb, push the mms.apk from Cm7 to /system/app on your wildfire
2nd: Reboot your phone and you should have the CM7 sms app
Do try and tell if you encounter any problems
Installing mms.apk like any other app might not work. (Says problem parsing the package).
And even if u replace it into sense rom.zip and flash through custom recovery, it might not work. Checked with an old sense rom. Don't know about latest ones.
Maybe due to the reasons,
CM7 is 2.3 Aosp and sense rom is 2.2
Sense Messaging app has sense HTC widget.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

yeah i tried replacing the apk in the zip and then flashing the rom again and it didnt work, just ended up with a rom without a messaging app but it doesnt matter ive started using gosms and that works a lot better than either in my eyes
