MMS Fix for Cricket Wireless Users upgrading to AKU 3.5

[berry_lthird]

For Cricket users planning to upgrade your AKU to version 3.5, be advised: These ROM's are mostly cooked-up for Verizon and Sprint users, and all the one's I used have ArcSoft settings that are either for those two companies or dummy/OEM settings.

Having said that, I recently upgraded my ROMset to Kirvin's "plain and simple" AKU 3.5. Needless to say, I was depressed thinking I couldn't upgrade to the newer AKU's without sacrificing our recently discovered MMS loophole.

Mind you, this ROMset uses ArcSoft MMS Composer Version 3.0.16.6 pre-installed and configured for Sprint. (This is why there are MMS registry settings CAB's out there for Verizon and Sprint users.)

But, with the help of the healthman of Howard Forums, I was able to get MMS working (again ).

The problem is in the registry. The key in question can be found under:

HKLM\Software\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader

There should only be FIVE STRING values under this key. They should each have the following settings:

Accept = application/vnd.wap.multipart.related
Accept-Language = en
User Agent = Arcsoft/MMSUA/v3.0
X-Cricket-MDN = your_ten_digit_phone_number

If you find the following keys, DELETE them!:

Accept-Charset
Profile

Ignore the values there--those are the OEM settings from the parent company HTC (High Tech Computing) over in Asia! This is what causes the MMS messages to fail upon send.

I changed those registry settings to those I listed above and BAM! MMS is now working flawlessly for me (again) under AKU 3.5!

Extra thanks to the healthman for all his help!

Now if one of you geniuses here could write a registry CAB for these settings, that would be most excellent. Way beyond me, this kinda stuff! You people here amaze me!

Good hunting!
