original thread...

[ROM] Jiminy v2 (for Cricket) - Hybrid EVO 3.28/Incredible 3.21 w/ g3a8614e kernel - xda-developers
deathsled cricket rom....

The Provided APN.xml is working with those using the cricked android plan my self included.


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
<apn name="CDMA-MMS" numeric="46605" mcc="466" mnc="05" apn="mms" user="your10digit#here@mycricket.com" server="NA" password="cricket" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" mmsproxy="null" mmsport="null" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php" type="mms" />
</apns>


For those on the 45$ rate plan and below
I believe that this solution in combination with the linked solution below should also achieve working results.
Cricket / MetroPCS Web/MMS Flash 8/9 - xda-developers





I confirm this solution to be working on my favorite ROM solution...

VirusROM BASE SENSE RC3 with Carbon Theme...

I could not use the adb push method as I am on the road and forgot to grab my micro usb cable...

1. I used Root Explorer to first delete mms.apk from /system/app
2. I copied mms.apk to /system/app
3. Using Root Explorer I over wrote default.xml/system/customize/MNS/default.xml
4. Reboot
5.
A. To my surprise I did not have a messaging app in the app drawer upon boot?
B. Using Root Explorer I navigated my SD card to folder I had placed mms.apk and launched mms.apk thus installing.
6. Downloaded and installed APN Backup, removed current apn.
7. I used the above posted APN.xml after modifying the "red" string with my info, thanks deathsled provided and apn.xml
8. Rebooted
9. SUCCESS!

I figure some of the steps may not be necessary how ever I documented the exact process and procedure in which I now have functioning MMS..

Dont forget to extract the .zip file the board did not allow .rar extension. In other words do not try to install in recovery.. MMS FILES.zip

Worked great!
I tried it with Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 rom.
All I did was rename the Mms.apk to Mms.apkOLD and replaced it with the one you provided. Then I used APN backup and rebooted. I didn't do the default.xml thing and it worked the first time.
Hopefully this works for most roms out there, provided it is deodexed.
Thanks! \\:D/

Is that the Integra guy I know?

LMAO!

I'll give this a shot on my wife's phone when she gets home later. Looking at Integra's post, all you need is a deodexed ROM for this to work? That's good, cuz virtually all custom ROMs are deodexed. She wants a new look on her phone, and she'll be excited to know she'll no longer have to jump through hoops to get sms/mms working properly.

Re: Working MMS for EVO on Cricket..
 

I just flashed my evo to cricket. When I flashed it i was running the jiminie cricket iv rom. then i switched to kingsrom hybrid. I can only receive pic mail not send it. I tried the above solution but could not get it to work.
