So I've been trying out a few different ROMs & the look & feel of Cyanogen is just phenomenal! The only issue is, the voicemail app is gone? Where can I find the stock Sprint VM apk to install, so I don't continue to get SMS VM notifications?
definitely should be in Q&A but you just use astro or whatever file manager you like and browse in a HTC based rom for SPRINT_VVM.apk its in system/app

Yup, this belongs in Q&A but to answer your question, use Google Voice instead. It's much better than Sprint VM AND it integrates with the stock look and feel.

Can't figure out how to use Google Voice. =[
You should have GVoice already if I'm not mistaken, sign up with a number and set up Google voice with your gmail through the "Voice" app.. I've had errors before in the beginning about not being compatible or whatever but it just works. Recently had to set it back up and it said not compatible, but it still worked. Maybe because I never set up the original voicemail but GVoice works like a charm for VM.

Another option is youmail.com with the youmail app in the market..that is if you dont want all that other crap that comes with google voice and just want a simple VVM solution.

For starters, HOLY HELL does this forum have the mother of all 'search ya n00b' features built in! Dang impressive!!
Second, being a long time stalker, and due to those previously mentioned features, I do not have the rights to post in the thread for this ROM. Thus I am posting my question here. I just recently installed the Incredibly Re-Engineered ROM v2.20 on my Inc. Out of all of the hacking that I have done to this poor phone, this ROM has given it the biggest improvement. However, I can't figure out how to access voicemails on it. The dev said that he fixed something with voicemails in this release but my not-so-smart-phone doesn't seem to know that.
I know that the Inc uses a native app instead of VZ's visual app and I am guessing that it's the one named Visual VM 1.13 that Titanium is telling me I am missing (but doesn't give me an option to restore). Anyone know the secret to getting this to work?
I'm not quite sure what you mean... Are you looking for a Visual Voicemail app, or are you unable to get to your voicemail at all? Have you tried dialing *86
Yeah, I could just call to get my messages but that would be too easy.
The issue is that the native app that downloads voicemails and plays them appears to be awol. When I get a voicemail VZ sends me a text stating "You have 1 unheard Visual Voice Mail messages. Please select the Visual VM icon to reinstall." However, you can't just download VZ's app because it will tell you that your phone already has an app built in for handling voicemails... except for my phone which now appears to be missing it.
Oh and before anyone asks, yes I did wipe the phone before installing the new ROM with ROM Manager.
Have you tried changing the voicemail settings to what you want to use to handle your voicemails? Menu > Settings > Call Settings
If you already have then maybe try pushing the apk through adb?
There is a flashover to 2.2 that is supposed to fix the VM indicator.
Absent that, there is also a flashable zip posted in the ROM and IncReEng. mods thread.

I did not even know about that setting. I have now set it to 'My Carrier' since I am not using Google Voice but unfortunately that didn't fix it.

I did perform that flashover. Maybe I will wait until the updated ROM is posted tonight and see if that fixes it... otherwise I might have to go hunting for the zips you are referencing.

You can click on the little paperclip next to the rom thread title and see all the .zip attachments that have been posted in the thread. This way you don't have to go searching through the whole thread to find the files you are looking for.
I just wanted to update this in case anyone else is searching for an answer to this problem.
So I did an update to v2.3 of the Re-Engineered ROM and that didn't get my voicemail back. And I actually lost some more functionality. I'm not in any way diss'n this ROM though. The issue is just that it is a seriously customized piece of art and maybe a bit overkill for a phone that needs to occasionally be a phone!
Since I tried Skyraider in the past and had some syncing issues, I decided to load up Redemptive rEVOlution this time. So far everything is running smooth and it appears that my voicemail and everything else is working as it should.
BTW, I should mention that I work in the Quality field because I have a natural gift for breaking things. So my issues may not be typical for all users.
I believe the problem you are having with VVM is because re-ingeneered is 100% evo framework. Sprint does not use VVM and therefore not coded for it.
That being said, google voice offers the same features without the added fees from Verizon.
Just flashed over to the nocturnal venum ROM. It does not have the stock sprint visual voicemail app. Everyone is telling me to get youmail or use Google voice, but I don't want to go that route. Does anyone by any chance have a backup apk of the newest visual voicemail app? Or know where I can get it?

You could just pull it from a Stock ROM. I also only like using the Visual Voicemail, but I usually had a themed one that was an Add-on for Rujeluss22's GB ROM. I'm on his ICS and he doesn't have it ready yet, but I did use the stock unthemed one just fine by simply using Titanium Backup when trying out a Stock ROM, then just backing it up and restoring. Of course I make sure the builds match, even though I don't think it would cause any issues if they didn't match.
I don't have any of the stock roms backed up. Do you have a way of uploading the voicemail apk for me?
Got it taken care of, thanks...
Sorry about that, just now read the post, but I'm glad you got it. Is it working fine?

Does anyone have a working link to the Visual Voicemail apk? Don't have one backed up to restore and I just realized I don't have this installed on CM9.

Much appreciated, thank you!
Here is an additional VVM apk, not sure if it's much different from the one posted above.
Hello all! I am currently running CM10 Nightly Sept 09 FC19 and was wondering what Apps people preferred to use for certain things.
Voice Mail - I found a post the other day that had the link for I believe Google Voice Mail. Anyways it made my voice mail work besides I get a text from 0916 every time. So I am open for any suggestions.
My Files - Other versions had something that would allow you to look at files on sd card. Maybe this does to and I am missing it. Anyways what do you prefer for this task?
Task Manager - Another one earlier versions had and I don't see an easy way to kill task or at least make sure programs are closed to try and preserver battery life. So what do you prefer?
Messaging - The stock messenger is ok, just takes some getting used to. Anything better out there that you have tried?
That is all I can think of for right now but if you have any other suggestions or programs that you can't live with out please let me know and I will be happy to try them out to.
Thanks ahead of time!
Do a little searching in the dev thread. You'll find a lot of suggestions for apps that address your concerns. However, my opinion:
The voicemail 9016 message is for Sprint's VVM. You can get a apk for it that supposedly works nicely. I don't mind the extra notification though, so GV is good for me.
For files, buy root explorer. It's worth every penny. If you want free, try ES file explorer.
You shouldn't need a task manager. JB does a pretty good job on its own. Plus, if you need just hit menu, manage apps, and select running apps.
Some people like goSMS for text. With the new quick text feature and not wanting to add another running process, I find the stock app to work very well. Especially since the MMS issues are fixed.

Hello All,
I'm new to the forums, new to android, and new to rooting. I recently switched over from iphone, and it has been a bumpy yet fun ride.
I have an unlocked Galaxy SIII SGH-i747M running the Illusion ROM, android ver. 4.2.2 illusion ver. 4.2.2.2.1 beta
I really miss the stock email app and S-voice, I'm trying to get them back. I've tried the email app from this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28000240
as well as this modded app here, which installed OK but doesn't seem to be working as it will not sync any mail no matter what sync settings I choose.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28246860
I don't know what to do about the S-voice. So far what I've read says it cannot be done. Any ideas guys? Please go easy on me, as I am new to this stuff and yes, I did do my research on the forums and wasn't getting anywhere on my own. Thanks!

While I'm only 99 percent certain, I'd say this is not going to work for you. From what I know, both of these apps are integrated and reliant upon the Touchwiz interface to work correctly. May be a stupid question, but have you correctly set the incoming/outgoing servers in the email app?

Yes, I believe so. I used the same settings which did work when I had touchwiz. I could tell it was talking to the server because it still prompted to accept all the security settings, etc. it requires, just would never display anything in the inbox.
I did get the s voice to work last night, though (yay) a couple bugs but will work for me. If I cant use the stock email app, do you have any other suggestions? Something lightweight and clean?
Thank you.

When you installed the email APK, did you use a package installer or did you place it in system/apk? If you took the latter step, you may have needed to fix the permissions of the apk. If you used a package installer you may want to try the system apk method. Let me know if you don't fully understand and I will try to be of more help. BTW the permissions should read rw x r x r
. Another thing to look into would be to install the secemail.apk from the S4, as it may be an Android 4.2 thing.
Rooted and flashed over to the Cyanogenmod (unofficial) release over in the Dev forum here, but I can't find an apk that will install correctly and the play store says my phone is not compatible. The Marshmallow Visual Voicemail seems to be the only thing I've found in this release that isn't working for me, too.
I'm wondering if anyone can provide an APK from their phone or something? Might just be out of luck until the dev in charge of the Note 4 Cyanogen is back or Verizon releases 6.0.1 for the Note 4. All the APKs (and a flashable zip or two) have been kinda old. Most of them would install but force close if you tried to open them.

There's some promising stuff there. Frustratingly someone claims to have it working on AOSP, like CM, but the link 404s. I'll edit this post if I find something that works in case anyone else looks here. Thank you!
Edit: Nope, none of it seemed to work; it still just FCs when I open it. Oddly, I can't uninstall the app now even after undoing the build.prop changes. Oh well, if it causes problems I can wipe and reflash later.
