Why is there an MMS.apk in the ZVD ---> ZVJ zip? It broke SMS on CM7 and MIUI, and I spent about an hour trying to figure out why my phone didn't like showing the MMS.apk on the homescreen... until I figured out it was this zip. xD

Well.... If it were for the OV I'd call it a failed attempt at fixing mms but I would assume on the s there would be no need at all.... You should be able to remove it from the zip with 7zip and disable signatures in recovery to flash

I am curious as how/why this patch works? Why hasn't something like this been done before? What is allowing a ZVD radio to be able to use a ZVJ rom? (Or the other way around)
This is definitely a great benefit for all S users.

But how come put it in the ZVD ---> ZVJ zip? I mean, most OV users are on ZVD (except for a few who use sammyz's method and are on ZVJ)...

Not sure why... I'm sure nitestalkr will reply when he is around though. I the mean time. I'd just remove the apk from the zip and flash unsigned.

Yeah... I wonder why. For now I'm just using the original patch (the one when this thread only had a few posts) that required you to push lib files. xD I need to try some OV ROMs lol.

You mean the zip I uploaded with the 3 libs ;) yeah nothing wrong with that. I still use it. If you start trying out some v roms you'll need to edit your keypad file to fix your keys. I like mandylion iho myself... Built in a2sd So you can go app crazy without space worries.

I accidentally added that in there, and forgot about it :p, I'll remove it, and reupload.

I found out, that ath3nos made a similar patch, I didn't know about it till sometime after I made these.
I'm guessing it didn't get as much attention back then, or there were something wrong with it, or not enough support.

Whatever the reason, I'll maintain all 6 of my patches(2 Optimus S patches, 2 Optimus V patches, and 2 CM10 ZVJ JellyBean specific patches of the OV), until I get a new phone, which will probably be several years from now.

I can't believe nobody noticed the patch from the future.. i dated it "07272013" by accident.
Anywho, updated OP, removed the MMS.apk as requested from both patches.

All I did was use 4 .so files(libgsk_exp.so, libpbmlib.so, libwms.so, and libwmsts.so) from ZVD, and it worked to get basic service(SMS, calling, Data) on ZVJ ROMs.

This was originally presented by Zakman, I just made it into a flashable zip, and added a few possible helpful files(apns-conf.xml, audio_policy.conf, thunderc_keypad.kl) to fix potential issues such as, audio through headphone port, and keypad correction(if using Optimus V ROMs, which could use testing to see if I got the key layout correct for the Optimus S).

This was originally birthed to use CM10 ZVJ JellyBean on the Optimus V, I just added Optimus S files, instead of Optimus V files for use on the Optimus S.

Great work and truly a great day to own an Opti S or V! I have updated the Welcome Guide to include this patch and link to this thread.

Suggestion: Since this is hosted in the Opti S section, perhaps include a quick protocol on how to get an Opti V ROM working on the Opti S in the OP? I know it's probably just a matter of modding the keypad file, but spelling it out for folks and linking as necessary can only help.

That's interesting that it's only those 4 libs and none of the libril stuff. Either way, this is quite awesome. A perfect way to let users flash any rom without worrying too much about what baseband they are on.

I'm gonna try to flash a P500 ROM and then this zip and see how that goes...

Does this mean that I can flash a zvj rom on my zvd? If I just flash these afterwards????!?!?!???!!!11

Yessir!
Just flash the ZVJ to ZVD patch directly flashing a ZVJ rom.
And if you want to go back to a ZVD rom, you don't have to worry about using a patch, but each flash of a ZVJ rom requires the patch.
