Workaround | MMS Picture Mail not displaying correctly - Page 4

Well after getting the same error, I decided to take a look at the script and modified it. Not really knowing what to do I just deleted "ReadFile"
from the line: Contents = ReadFile (link). Surprisingly Opera opens up and the second tab opens displaying the page. Thank you so much for this Bonuts.

Sorry but I had to tinker with it a little more. I had netfront v3.3 from a while back and decided to load that up and change your script. The one thing about using your script (modified for netfront) is it only opens up one page with the picture modified to fit the page.

Thanks for the input and your work with the script.

sounds interesting. can you pm me a copy of the last script you ended up using (for Opera, Netfront or both)?

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.

Awesome!! I've been waiting forever for a fix like this, it's nice to be able to view pic mails again.

in a fit of joy, i installed the cab and it has seemed to freeze my phone at the WM splash screen now. im using colonel's 3.5 final aku. its been mostly solid until now.. just a word of warning.

I am running Helmi's WM6 ROM on a Sprint PPC 6700.

When I first installed this cab and viewed a picture mail (after the device soft reset), the proper page format loaded correctly for a few seconds, and then the page seemed to automatically reload itself pulling up the full web version (the problem we had before).

Anyhoo, uninstalling PiePlus, resetting the device, reinstalling PiePlus, resetting the device worked for me! Picture Mails now load like they used to long ago! It does make the little rotating "busy" circle for the WM6 Pie look funny, but who cares!

myteematt - thanks for the patch!

Well, I spoke too soon. It seems the older dll makes my favorites look like folders

For now, I have a copy of browser.dll on my SD card and can copy it over to view a picture mail, then delete it to return to the dll in ROM.

This is close to solved for sure!

sorry havent tested this on WM6 its not stable enough for me yet. I built this around the 3.5 Kitchen alot of us are using to build our own roms.
