Love for Alltel: MMS with ArcSoft 5.2.8.45 (Updated 2-15-2010)

I saw the tweaked version of ArcSoft 5.2.8.45 Ryan put on XDA and decided I wanted it with NRG's Sep 27 ROM. I also wanted to know just what exact MMS settings Alltel requires so I did a comparison of the ArcSoft registry key from Alltel's latest stock Touch Pro ROM (version 2.01.671.1, July 7 '09) and those in 5.2.8.45 (Ryan's version anyway). http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f7...02-15_2158.png Screenshot is from CeRegEditor (Ryan since renamed SampleMMSC/SampleMMSC2 to CDMA/GSM). I learned a couple interesting things, like that: Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1] Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader] Also, the User-Agent determines the size of the image you will receive, so that must be set right as well. Update (2-15-2010) Recently Alltel seems to have enforced a requirement for the X-Alltel-MDN registry value. This must be manually changed to your own phone number, or you will receive the error Originator address not found. Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader] I've personally patched MMSTransport.dll in the attached cab to cease this behavior and fix sending. </Update> Here's an annotated version of a .reg file with the differences, preferred (I hope) selections, and some investigative work. If it's commented out that means I went with the 5.2.8.45 cab default. Code:
REGEDIT4 Because NRG's ROMs default cosmetically to 'GSM', for simplicity's sake the MMS settings do as well, though Alltel is CDMA. This simply avoids having to change every non-MMS related network setting. Record your MMS videos in the MPEG4 format (instead of H.264) and L (320x240) or smaller if you want your videos the most compatible - viewable on a Blackberry. ;) All in camera video settings.

Been testing the hell out of similar cabs here too. Already have a generic tiny pic fix cab posted in another thread, and the ones I'm testing now, and so far are working quite well, don't need to remove pic mail, OR a new arcsoft cab. They change similar registry keys to allow the use of the MMS that each particular Chef cooked into his (hers?) ROM. It's not ready for prime time though. I won't post it unless I'm 100% sure it's perfect. Until then, here's my other post, with a quick fix that enables MMS on roms that already have the Alltel MMS Server info cooked in. Change that to Alltel default, install my updated Cab, and you're golden. :) Link to my thread here... |
Re: Love for Alltel: MMS with ArcSoft 5.2.8.45
I have followed these instructions and am having issues.
First off.. in messaging when I click "new" mms is no longer available, just SMS and Voicemail is available. I am using energyrom GTX themed that comes with a regeditor,, FDCSoft v3.1 and when I choose to import and click that .reg file. It tells me that it is an invalid registry script but then pops up a window saying registry entries successfully imported, would you like to import another file? I went 6 years with a Palm OS device which my carrier blocked MMS and have missed it for that long.. But now no matter what ROM I install I still dont have MMS.. I dont really want to use stock rom but I will if I cant get MMS to work with custom roms. Eagerly awaiting input.. Thanks |

Doesn't work for me :(
I installed as stated and for one the reg file said it wasn't a valid registry file?? but I cannot send or recieve MMS. It pops up and says "sending message ..... 0%" but then quickly goes away and nothing ever happens. Same happens when I recieve an MMS. |
Re: Love for Alltel: MMS with ArcSoft 5.2.8.45
@BlindDude, @GatorsUF: It was missing the 'REGEDIT 4' header, but was otherwise valid and still successfully imported by most applications. I've corrected it.
@GatorsUF: I've been in that situation. My steps should work. Try repeating them. I updated which steps should (potentially) be rebooted after, there was a bit of an error. ;) Also the device may need to be unplugged from the computer. Then I send an MMS to myself and that always works as a test. Good luck. I'm very busy but I'm around. Just FYI I'm using this ROM at the moment: Energy.HERMAN.23547.Sense2.1.Mar.19 with my procedure. |

Thanks Swin.. Yes unplugging it from active sync or windows mobile device center is a must because it kills the radio and wifi when you are conneted.. You can have it plugged into the PC if you choose "disk drive" though.
I tried sooooo many things and dont know what order I did it in to make it work.. But I do remember the final thing I did was manually edit that first registry entry Mine was 000000(1) and I changed it to just 0 and presto. Both send and recieve work.. Thank you for this thread SWIN.. Very helpful.. I was looking and looking before another forum member linked me this thread. |

well, like I said, I had trouble importing it.. said not a valid reg file or something like that.
I did it before you corrected the file. |
Re: Love for Alltel: MMS with ArcSoft 5.2.8.45
The reg file was fine this time, but still doesn't work at all for me. I cannot send or receive MMS messages.
If I use the old Arcsoft 5.0.something for Alltel cab it works great for receiving MMS but I could never send with it. |
