mms is working fine for me, looks like a temporary hiccup in crickets network.
Since your MMS is working, can you try mmstest1 and mmstest2 and tell me which one breaks your MMS? No need to reboot, you can just run them from connectbot to switch and test them out. They are in yet another u2nl.zip.
EDIT: I'll work on it more tomorrow. I want to make sure the MMS mods to the script are clean before this becomes final and replaces the old scripts I'm distributing, and hopefully before your update.zip gets updated too.

I was able to send a MMS with both mmstest1.sh and mmstest2.sh BUT mmstest2.sh sent more reliably. (most of the time with mmstest1.sh i got "generic network failure")
Also note my apn from a post or 2 ago, my MMS Proxy is NOT set in the APN so this is all going off the files here
Upon further experimentation it seems only mmstest2 is working.
Which makes sense because every apn I have used and ryanmogul's post all say it runs on port 8080.
Got to be up for work in about 6 hours so I'm off to bed, but I'm excited about not sending mms through u2nl, perhapse this is what has been blocking evo users mms.
And I'm not rolling a new flash yet, I still need to get the mms stuff nailed, I'm trying to think of a way to make it incorporate the users phone number into the apn dynamically which should help a lot. I notice when I send via the old apn, it comes in anonymous, but when I send with the new apn it lists as from me.
I have been potentially thinking of making an apk to do this as well, but haven't had the time to start work

I just noticed that unlike wap.mycricket.com, mms.mycricket.com actually resolves for me. I'm not on Cricket either. The other odd thing is it has 2 IP addresses. I'll have to change the script to deal with that.
I can probably make a script that finds your phone number through getprop and then creates the xml file you need. I'm not sure what goes in to setting up MMS really since I've never done that. I'll need to look in to it first.
To anyone who updates, here is what you should expect: nothing
The changes are behind the scenes. It resolves hostnames into IP addresses each time it runs, so if Cricket changes IP addresses for the proxy, just reboot your phone and it will be fixed. It detects if you have a motorola or htc phone on its own, so there is one Cricket script and one Metro PCS script. Phone type doesn't matter.
There is something that might make MMS work better, but if your MMS is broken, don't expect this to fix it. Chances are all it will do is make it faster, but in such a small way you won't notice it.
Web browsing won't go any faster. Everything (other than MMS) still has to go through u2nl because the Cricket proxy doesn't handle transparently proxied http requests.
So like I said earlier, don't expect much. It is definitely better than before, and will make things easier for you down the road since you won't have to fix it when Cricket changes IP addresses, but it isn't anything exciting.

joke made my day
but great job anyways.
looking forward to fixing my MMS soon tho.
i have a motorola droid flashed to metro pcs with everything working just fine internet, talk, text, gps, mms, and apps but i noticed its running on the 1xRTT instead of the EVDO/3g... the guy that flashed my phone said he figured out the settings to open up the EVDO on metro flashed phones but when he applied them to my phone and switched my network from CDMA only to CDMA AUTO(PRL)... it still only connects to 1xRTT.. It will try to connecct to 3g/EVDO for a sec but then disconnects and will either switch back to 1xRTT or will stay disconnected while it tries to connect to EVDO because i am in a EVDO coverage area.... does anyone know what i need to do to get this working i am so tired of the 1x speed lol....

sounds like EVDO is not authenticating, may be do to the NV items not being set correctly would be my guess, but i dont own a droid, just going off speculation from what i have read. I could be completely wrong, but its worth a look.

Have you posted this question in the METRO PCS forum, this is the cricket forum. FYI! But there are alot of factors if it was on cricket, like PRL vs. location, NV files, EVDO authintication, (sometimes CRICKET needs to refresh in CID) but really my recommendation is stop hijacking threads and ask Metro PCS questions in the Metro PCS forums. There is also a Droid thread there as well.
@ Crzy20.. I have been running Froyo on two Droids with the new baseband since it was released. So its about the same as 2.1. Remember if you flash your baseband you will have to reflash to Cricket.
Ok well i flashed my droid to cricket and well calls work mms untested cause i really don't send pics via my phone and texts are being recieved but i just can't send them. i've reflashed like twice and still no go, is it maybe my nvitems i got them from white rabbit but its the 12 items the 5 i got from the download page kept saying it wasn't a valid nvitem backup or something like that but i've been all over trying to figure out this issue, and knew i could ask you guys and hopefully get things going for me. Thanks in advance everyone

Have cricket refresh your account setting for sms/mms and also refresh the switch. I know I always blame cricket but I've had 6 flashes last week that had similar issues with text and the cure was in crickets system.
oh ok well i've had them refresh the account twice but i don't think i've asked them to specificaly target sms/mms as for refreshing the switch i'm not quite sure what you mean but i'll keep up with cricket their a great company but all companys have a couple bugs but thank you again and i'll try to get in touch with them again to refresh
