This thread is about enabling MMS on first-gen iPhones via Messages.app (not swirlymms).

Here is what i have so far:

I have enabled MMS settings in Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network.

how? i modified M68AP.plist by adding a boolean item 'mms' and marking it true.

idk if it is simply just the form, or if it is functional. i have had people send me an MMS but none of them came through.

next up: getting the camera icon in Messages.app

[littleboy683]

keep up the good work i will be following this thread!

[mkblade]

interesting...please could you tell at what part you added, mms to, and I heard its possible to add video camera to this plist file also and you may get the "visual" (though not an ACTUAL video camera itself )

[Pyroteq]

Did that hack also enable the MMS settings under:

Settings -> Messages?

My brother has the 3G running 3.0 and he has 2 extra options, MMS Messaging (On/Off) and Show Subject Field (On/Off).

EDIT - Also, I asked a friend to send me his M68AP.plist and his N82AP.plist file and they are both identical to the iPhone 2G files. As far as I can see there is no MMS option in the iPhone 3G M68AP.plist file, so I think we're looking in the wrong location.

The N82AP.plist file DOES include MMS under capabilities.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>capabilities</key>
	<dict>
		<key>delay-sleep-for-headset-click</key>
		<false/>
		<key>gps</key>
		<true/>
		<key>mms</key>
		<true/>
		<key>telephony-maximum-generation</key>
		<real>3</real>
	</dict>
	<key>include</key>
	<array>
		<string>M68AP</string>
	</array>
</dict>
</plist>

However, this file is the exact same as the iPhone 2G as well.

I believe this is the proper file for some of the MMS settings we will need to change:

		<dict>
			<key>PostNotification</key>
			<string>com.apple.MobileSMS.MMSEnabled.changed</string>
			<key>cell</key>
			<string>PSSwitchCell</string>
			<key>default</key>
			<true/>
			<key>defaults</key>
			<string>com.apple.MobileSMS</string>
			<key>key</key>
			<string>MMSEnabled</string>
			<key>label</key>
			<string>MMS_MESSAGING</string>
		</dict>
		<dict>
			<key>cell</key>
			<string>PSSwitchCell</string>
			<key>default</key>
			<false/>
			<key>defaults</key>
			<string>com.apple.MobileSMS</string>
			<key>key</key>
			<string>MMSShowSubject</string>
			<key>label</key>
			<string>SHOW_SUBJECT_FIELD</string>
		</dict>
		<dict>
			<key>cell</key>
			<string>PSGroupCell</string>
			<key>id</key>
			<string>MMS_EMAIL_GROUP</string>
			<key>label</key>
			<string>MMS_EMAIL</string>
		</dict>
		<dict>
			<key>PostNotification</key>
			<string>com.apple.MobileSMS.MMSEmailAddress.changed</string>
			<key>cell</key>
			<string>PSEditTextCell</string>
			<key>defaults</key>
			<string>com.apple.MobileSMS</string>
			<key>id</key>
			<string>MMS_EMAIL_CELL</string>
			<key>isEmail</key>
			<true/>
			<key>key</key>
			<string>MMSEmailAddress</string>
			<key>placeholder</key>
			<string>MMS_EMAIL_PLACEHOLDER</string>
		</dict>

This file is Messages.plist found under Applications/Preferences.app

[h.abdulhamid86]

no, it did not enable an MMS option under Settings > Messages.

and after a little tweaking, i did notice that the 3g and 2g files were identical. so it would seem that this may be the wrong direction after all.

i am really not noticing any differences in the 2g and 3g firmware at all actually. there are traces of mms in the 2g firmware aswell as the 3g. i am starting to believe that the 2g firmware IS actually capable of using mms via messages app. just have to figure out how....

but, if the 3g only needed the ipcc file to be modified...why doesn't this work with the 2g. ive copied the preferences app and the messages app from 3g to 2g OS, but i believe they are exactly the same, thus, it accomplished nothing...

update:

im going for the gusto. im copying the whole System directory from 3g to 2g. of course, that wont really narrow the solution down if it does in fact work, but hey, i hit a wall so im just going for it. =P

but, it will likely do nothing, or...it will brick my phone.

Dumb question, if I edit a .plist file and copy it to my iPhone, do I need to reset it for the changes to show?

Anyone that finds any hints at MMS in the iPhone 2G or 3G software, please give the filename and path of each file.

i would reboot after any changes, but at the least, do a respring.

Another retarded question. What's a respring?

LOL, sorry, I'm new to this iPhone hacking stuff.

I do however have a little bit of experience with lots of different programming languages, so I might be of some use =P

Let me know how this goes.

There are lil' things that differ from the 3G to the 2G firmware. You also prob noticed that the 2G does not have carrier settings under General>Network.....

[myke580]

im trying to work on this to, theres a few small differences like said so im going to try to change them around till something comes up!

[themoc]

Hi,

I'm searching to enable mms to my iphone 2g too, so i'm very interested to this thread

[cooncheese70]

Awesome!
I would love if someone could find a way to enable MMS on the iPhone 2G.
I'm keeping an eye on this thread!!

any update on this...it would be great to know what happens (whether they are errors,etc.)

[Popple3]

The reason the 3G doesn't have mms in it's M68AP.plist, is because the 3G checks N82AP.plist, which then includes M68AP.plist. Basically the 3G fuses the two plists toegether

Looks like a hardware issue:
