Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers

This Android app allows the phone to automatically switch proxy and u2nl binary on and off depending on Wi-fi state.

It is made and pre-configured to work with Android phones that have been flashed to MetroPCS and Cricket (at least voice and sms should be working already.)

THIS FORK: Additions by Gassan Idriss Added option to install U2nl and Sqlite3 Added APN Settings installation. Tested and working on HTC Eris (stock Rooted Rom), Motorola Droid, HTC Incredible - and will probably work on any phone with Cyanogen mod. Added Automatic calculation of SPC for Password in APN Settings (Brought in MeidHelper from my MEID Calculator app) Moved settings to SQLite Database.

For me this worked as installing an app and not as a rom TODO:

  • BUG: Proxy actually not updating properly when setting it through the sqlite db.

  • Find out the correct ip for the mms proxy server for both MetroPCS and Cricket.

  • Find out the correct network interface used by the Motorola Droid on FroYo.

  • Find out the correct eri.xml file for cricket.

  • Setup screen first time it runs & check for the following on every boot.

    • Automatically setup APN.
    • Check build.prop and modify it if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if modified)
    • Check /data/eri.xml and install the new one if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if installed) DONE * Check for u2nl binary, if not available install it in /system/bin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed) DONE * Check for sqlite3 binary, if not available install it in /system/xbin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed) SOMEWHAT DONE* Drop database tables and replace them with appropriate Carrier Settings in: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

  • Document, organize and maybe improve configuration screen.

  • Needs a better icon.

These guys were the ones that figured out and helped develop the method we are all using here to allow Android devices to work properly on MetroPCS and Cricket.

Enjoy.
