Workaround | MMS Picture Mail not displaying correctly

myteematt · #1 (**permalink**) 10-01-2007, 09:28 AM

I tried copying the older file browser.dll from AKU2.2 in the windows dir into the newer 3.3 kitchen to see if it would work and I also changed my UserAgent reg settings to revert back to the older AKU 2.2 useragent settings and now everything WORKS!!!. Will post files soon. Im a Sprint user so I would have to assume everyone here at least has MMS installed and is able to send. Im not very good with instructions or directions but I know once I post files the forum will help out. Basically all I did was pull the older browser.dll from the AKU2.2 rom that did receive pic mail properly into the new AKU3.3 Rom and also change the useragent settings. It now receives pic mail just like it used to. I knew there was an easier way to do this than use another browser. Personally I recommend using Resco Explorer to make the registry changes required and also I use PIE plus for Pocket Internet Explorer which made changing the useragent alot easier than it was before and has some useful features as well so you can revert back to non mobile viewing of webpages at a later time. I know alot of people with Sprint have been looking for a solution to this for a long time.

. Will post files within a few hours.

Well here are the files. I made a quick cab file for the rookies. The cab file is inside the zip file. This ONLY applies to those who already have MMS installed and sending correctly. This ONLY applies to Sprint Picture Mail users. This cab will do the following:
1. Replace browser.dll in the Windows directory with the older one from AKU 2.2
2. Change registry settings to mobile viewing also from AKU 2.2
This has been tested with AKU 3.3 Kitchen and Kirvins Rom.
This will allow the normail viewing of received picture mail the way we used to with the older roms. This will "mobilize" your browser so that it appears as a mobile browser to websites specifically the Sprint site.

So I must be doing something wrong. I installed PIEPlus v2.2 - I ran the CAB File indicated. I still cant seem to view the pictures the old way. I have AKU 3.5.

Is there anything else i need to do?

Great Job Dude,

I just installed your cab file and at first it didnt work, but then I changed the user agent settings in PIE plus to default, which is the old AKU 2.2 string and it worked.

This patch caused my machine to freeze at the splash screen. I'm in safe mode and uninstalled the cab. How do I completely remove the changes this made? Did it replace my broswer.dll?
