Force custom APN - Motorola Xoom 4.1.2 Rooted?

Force custom APN - Motorola Xoom 4.1.2 Rooted

Anyone know how to force a custom APN?

There is no option under Mobile Network for setting an APN.

Ive tried some of the APN apps from the Play store, nothing worked.

I have also tried modifying the APN.xml file in /system/etc with no luck. Because I do not know how to get the Xoom to jump onto the APN that I added.

I have a brand new 4G sim from Verizon in there. It is activated, but I need to put in my own custom APN.

Are you trying to use it on Verizon? Is it a Verizon xoom?

If it is a Verizon xoom running on Verizon then Verizon doesn't allow you to change apn settings... With the Verizon sim inside.

The APN has to be changed in order to get on Verizon. Its hard to explain becasue its not being used for typical "person" use. Its a custom business account that requires a custom use APN.

I need to figure this out, so either I ditch the xoom tablet for something else that allows a custom APN right out of the box or start hacking the crap out of it.
