Sense ROMs and MMS

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.

[FIX] MMS Failed Pic Messaging (Possibly)

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

Issues with Royal Glacier

Having some issues with the Royal Glacier ROM
I have version V1.2 & Froyo Faux123-V0.9.3 Kernel
Im getting foreclosing issues with apps
Video camera lags at times
Notification issues with some apps
I thought the ROM with this Kernel was the best to slove the issues?

How long have you been having issues and did you use titanium backup to restore apps? That is the kernel that came with the Rom, have you tried any others? I am not sure why you would be having FC isuues or lag. My suggestion would be to wipe cache and dalvik cache and then reinstall the rom over the top of your current one. If that doesnt work, you can try a full data wipe/factory reset. Royal Glacier v1.3 will be out soon. You can also try that.

I did not back up apps as I was ok with downloading them again, since I don't have that many apps on my phone. I believe the kernel was not on the ROM when I flashed it over. I read the thread about changing kernels, which I did.
I followed all information to the teeth when I rooted my phone, if i do a full wipe my phone will still be rooted S off correct? ROM first then Kernel, correct?

Typically one would try to run fix_permissions when FCs happen in a known stable built.

My thread says nothing about changing kernels. Yes your phone will still be rooted after you wipe.

I am having an issue when im on edge my phone reboots itself when getting or sending data. has anyone else had this problem or is there something i can do??

The issues I'm having have to do with the camera. Everytime I take a picture it seems to mirror it. And another is when I try to send an mms video, the messaging app fc's. are there any known fixes or are these bugs? Can someone point me to a fix so that i can solve my issues?
Sorry, I read the wrong title on the thread. These issues are happening to me in Royal Ginger 1.6

What version are you on? Have you changed kernels or done any mods, or are you just running it how it came?

I'm on Royal Glacier 1.3 and the only thing I get on FC is my market. It does that over and over. Also I get an upside down screen. happened on Both things happened on 1.2 and 1.3
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

it wont let me edit yet, but forgot to say, I am useing the kernels that came with the roms, I didnt try any other, also I did a full wipe before going to 1.3, cleared all data

My suggestion for both of you would be to give the stock kernel from post #5 in my thread a flash and see if that helps anything. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik first. That at least gives us a starting point to try and figure out what is going on. Thanks

I formatted the system from step 5, I didnt do that the first time and I believe that fixed the upside down screen, mostly just having a prob with the Market FC'ing, so I will run the stock kernel to see if that will fix the Market FC'ing, I will run this stock for a while and let you know the out come of it TrueBlue_Drew, Thanks
Update: I have ran the stock kernel all day and no Market FC, Normaly it's random but hasn't done it at all today so far

fc
hey just wiped my ice glacier data and also the cache and flashed royal glacier v1.3, followed by flash of royal glacier blue theme, my maps and navigation do not work, I tried downloading maps from the market and it says : Duplicate Provider Authority, any advice?

Getting my MMS to work?

My MMS has never worked. Most I've ever been able to do is send files, but not receive. I've searched around for help over time and have found nothing.
Until one day I tried Dorimanx's ROM, and it worked! I can no longer get that ROM to work for the life of me though
I have since then gone back to my primary ROM, NDT MIUI. Knowing that it is possible, how can I get my MMS fully working on this ROM? Do I edit a setting in a system file or something?
I would love ANY help! Please ask for whatever information about my phone necessary, I don't know what else to add besides my APNs have always been the same on any ROM.

I applied the latest MIUI fix from that thread, and now I can send MMS no problem, but still cannot receive... Any help?

are the apn settings correct for the mms and is it set to auto switch ?

My APNs are set to what my carrier provides, but not sure what the auto switch setting is?

No I'm on Wind, a Canadian carrier. When I apply the available T-Mobile MIUI fixes posted everywhere though, they allow me to send MMS no problem but I still can't receive them from anyone. I don't get it lol

Stop messaging apk

I'm running aeon 2.3 and I can't receive mms via the stock messaging app. I think it has to do with the Korean apk. A) DOES ANYONE HAVE A STOCK AT&T MESSAGING APK? B) do you think replacing the messaging. Apk in the sys app would fix the issue? I'm guessing here because I receive mms via Google hangouts perfectly. Thanks guys

I am on Aeon 2.3 with ATT and stock messenger app is working fine for me... never had any issues.. did you mess with the APN settings at all? or possibly the SMS/MMS message center phone # ??
EDIT: woops, just noticed you specified MMS.... my response would only apply if both sms and mms were not working, sorry..
anyway, i doubt replacing the APK will make a difference if sms is indeed working.. sounds more like a connectivity related issue possibly like you said due to korean base...

The stock messaging app will not solve your problem. The problem lies elsewhere and it extends to other bases as well. Did you flash over existing rom ? Or did you do the normal wipes? And please post in the AEON thread so we can help you better. I almost didn't see your post.

Thanks man. I'm no dev but I was bored and inpatient. I posted in the thread but with no response I looked elsewhere to solve my issues. Thanks for all of your great work an efforts. I love your Rom but I can't get mms from iPhone's specifically. I receive them via hangouts. I'm not changing any APN settings and I flashing after a factory reset wipe via twrp.
