MMS fix for people on ICS not sending pics(works)

*Pretty please make a NANDROID backup before you do this. I know you just recently installed the ROM, so if you don't have much on there and don't mind to flash in the event that something goes wrong, then no worries. Still, it wouldn't hurt!!*
Basically, what we are doing here, is giving you the app, installing it on the phone and then copying the APK file from /data/app to /system/app. I don't know much about the Fassy, but the file system structure should be close.
There are two ways to do this. You can use ADB to execute the commands, or use a file explorer (I use Root Explorer) to move the APK file. I also picked a free APN app .
APN Manager Pro
Throw this on your external SD card. Once you have it on there, open up your File Manager.
Navigate to your external SD card(should be /mnt/sdcard/external_sd or something similar, we have already established our phones are slightly different, ha ha).
Find the file ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation-1.apk and long press it. You should get a list of options. You want to select move.
Navigate back to your root directory.
Go to /system/app. Once you get there, depending on your file manager, you should have the option to set the permissions as r/w (read/write). By default, Root Explorer is always set to r/o (read only) on my phone.
Paste the APK file.
Long press the APK file and select permissions.
- You have three sets of privileges: Read/Write/Execute
- You have three sets of groups: Owner/Group/Others
- - Make sure Owner, Group and Others have checks under Read.
- - Make sure Owner has checks under Write.
- - There should not be any checks under Execute.
- - There should not be any checks on any of the special permissions.
Hit OK.
Click on the APK file and select install.
Once the install has completed (should be almost instantly) reboot the phone.
Now you have an app that is capable of setting APN information.
When the phone has booted back up, open the app and select Backup & Restore. Make a backup. If the new APN doesn't work properly, you will have a backup you can fallback to.
Enter the information and hit save. Once you have done that you can select the APN and set it as the main. If you lose functions then restore the backup.
I hope this works out!!

This is the biggest hurdle, which very few people have successfully gotten to work. It is not a perfect solution but it works very well for us.
Download the following Zip file (not flashable):
download
Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Download and install Titanium Backup. You will also need the PRO version, so you'll need to shell out a couple of bucks if you don't already own it. It's well worth it anyways.
2. Download and install APN Backup & Restore from the Market.
3. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, and click on "Backup APNs". Exit out of APN Backup & Restore.
4. Place this folder in your SD Card.
5. Copy MetroPCS_MMS_Send_APN.xml from this folder to the APN Backup folder in the root of the SD Card.
6. Open Titanium Backup, go under Backup/Restore, and find APN Backup & Restore, press and select "Make system app."
7. Open APN Backup & Restore, ignore the ICS warning, press menu, and disable ICS check. Exit APN Backup & Restore.
8. Open APN Backup & Restore again, and now there should not be an ICS warning!
9. Click on "Delete APNs."
10. Click on Restore APNs and select "MetroPCS_MMS_Send.APN.xml".
10a. Press Ok after selecting the above.
10b. Press No when you get the message asking Yes or No.
11. Using Root Explorer or a similar app, copy the SecMMS.apk file from this folder to your /system/app/ folder.
11a. Make sure you are in R/W mode and click Yes to overwrite existing file if you get the message.
11b. Make sure to delete/overwrite any existing SecMms.apk from the /system/app directory. You should only have one SecMms.apk file.
11c. Make sure to delete any SecMms.odex if you're on the stock or an odexed rom.
12. Set permissions to RW-R--R--
13. Reboot.
14. Open the Messaging app and under Settings make sure to check (enable) "SMS split".

Straight Talk newer APN solution

Little disclaimer: Please note I only tested this on my T999 GS3 so please don't ask me for support on other devices. By following this thread you're responsible for your actions with your device.
I just want to share a little fix for those facing issues with data and MMS on Straight Talk with the newer APN using AOSP. This may only apply to newer customers like me. I thanked the user that found the solution here (more information there as to what I replaced with what). I changed two "Medianet" entries in /system/etc/apns-conf.xml to reflect the newer APN settings. Otherwise, MMS (and perhaps data) will not work properly (I could send MMS but not receive before this fix). I put the little file in a zip since XDA doesn't allow .xml uploads, it is NOT a flashable file. Unzip, put the file permissions as rw-r--r-- using Root Explorer or your preferred choice, replace the file (again, located at /system/etc/), reboot and select the first MediaNet APN at Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. Done.
A similar procedure can be done in a TouchWiz ROM, it does work. I tested it. You may or may not have to put in the newer APN at Settings.

Thanks for the contribution! BTW, it's TouchWiz

If you are rooted you can try the following :
Install SQLite editor from play store.
Install any root explorer, I use ES File explorer.
Open root explorer and navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
Copy the settings.db wherever you want to and open it to be edited with SQLite editor. We have to make this workaround because the db is locked and cannot be edited in its original path.
Change register setup_wizard_nonvzwsim_enable from 0 to 1
Overwrite the original settings.db with our edited settings.db using root explorer.
reboot and enjoy your almost global phone!
Please do not leave any copy of original db in its original path, like "settings.db.bak". It might cause bootloops, in that path should be just one db named settings.db\
Please note you are doing this at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything that happens to the phone so don't try this if you are not comfortable with backing up and restoring your phone. As you mentioned the notification does not interfere with the usage of the phone so you can just keep using it I guess.

thanks
