I can't guarantee that it will work but you could follow the links to the sprint updated flashable vvm zip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743781
If that fails, you could try to extract the zip to grab the apk inside. I think I might have tried this with something else and failed but it's worth a shot.

The stock evo visual voicemail works
Fine it is not part of sense the calendar is so you should have no problem with the voicemail I'm ruining it on cm6.0 right now

Wolf,
Wow, Sprint VVM will work on a senseless ROM. I had it on a cyanogem ROM on my old hero and also on my Evo. It even worked on the early, rough builds on the stuff darchstar was doing for the Hero. It sucks that it doesn't work for you, but that doesn't mean that it will not work at all. Searching the CM6 thread would have shown you people discussing how to get vvm working AND their success in doing so.
Oh, and here is something we all probably forget from time to time about internet arguments.
"Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded."

I have cm6 and I instaled the vvm and everytime I get a vm I get a text from 9016...its so annoying how can I stop it

I've never installed this program before so I cannot vouch for it. You can try "Super - Private Conversation" in the market. You can search for "call sms mms block" in the market and pick your poison. At the very least, search "sms block" in the market app.
My suggestion is if someone doesn't have the patience or desire to help a newb, then don't flame them. Ignore the newb. Let someone else respond to them.

Could the errors you're experiencing when trying to install it be that the download, for whatever reason, got corrupted? It could be that the cm6 you have downloaded and flashed might be bad but I doubt it. Another idea is to go back into recovery and wipe phone and all caches and flash it again from the beginning. Maybe the flash snafu'd the first time around.
I'm not saying this is the answer to everything, I'm just offering up suggestions I would try myself. Installing or reinstalling isn't a big deal to me. I'm used to it from the windows days and linux when I screwed up something so bad I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Maybe reflashing the google apps on top of itself might fix the google voice problems. My gv is working fine.
I'm trying my best to ignore the drama...

wow 5 pages down to one after cleaning out the bad stuff.
look this is the Q&A section. its a place to ask questions. no one should feel like they cant ask a question in this section. those who would like to debate that please keep it to yourself. that said back on topic.
to contribute to the thread instead of flaming and calling names. i will add that u need a few libs and a few other apks to go with the VVM.apk. u will also need part of htcs frameworks that are missing from cm. this is the issue. cm doesnt have everything the apks and libs need. one could fix this but it would take some time sorting it all out.

Roms

I have only ever changed my romm from 2.1 to 2.2 stock. Not sure what makes a custom rom so much better. What else can you physically do? Is there one that works with ota stock radio and froyo update (downgraded to get it). I am rooted on 2.2. I would like to see whats so cool about changing. Advice?

Try them out for yourself. Personally I like the fact that custom roms have verizon bloat removed and also seem the run more smoothly. Just remember to create a Nandroid backup of your stock rom so you can go back to it whenever you want.

Download ROM Manager and Titanium Back up... make a Backup of your ROM currently and try out another ROM! no harm in trying it. If you don't like it you can always go back to EXACTLY how you left it.
Anyways... every ROM has there "thing" and they usually start off as a vanilla or a sense based ROM. A ROM can be optimized to to be much snappier and even come with their own custom kernels. Don't forget that you can get better battery life! They all work with the Stock froyo radio... except maybe the Desire ROM. I think you need the latest radio leak for that one, but you can install it and mess with it... just no signal.
These devs pretty much can add, delete, and modify practically anything and everything and it seems to be ALWAYS better over stock.
Examples...
-My app drawer has added functionality now. I can uninstall apps straight from the app drawer and I can organize my apps in FOLDERS inside the app drawer so now it's not just a huge list of icons anymore.
-When adding apps to my homescreen I can change the naming convention or have no name at all!
-ROMs come with a lil "theme" to them so us users don't have to hassle with adding the mods our self.
-battery indicators
-notification drag down bar
-rosie can be different (vanilla, sense, expresso) with right button customed
-widgets can be themed to look more aesthetically pleasing
-a mix mash of vanilla and htc apps are used (best of both worlds)
-the Inc camera can be replaced with the EVO
-added Pre-Installed Apps for us (ex. wireless tether)
.....etc.
The list can go on and on. you can do a lot of this on your own but why when a dev has done it for you? and not only were they nice enough to create a nice ROM for us but they also went through beta testers to catch most of the bugs and glitches you would find if you did it yourself!
Anyways, download and flash a couple ROMs and you will never go back!

Thanks for the awesome response. I certainly would like folders in my app drawer so i didnt use a whole screen for folders. Thanks again

His rom sounds like uncommensense. Most roms dont actually do that. His does. Your launcher can also add alot of customization. Launcher pro allows you to elimanate names but you cant name folders where as open home allows you to.hes right check it out. Thats most of the fun.

correct... those were just examples. every rom has their "advantage" over others. the custom app drawer is definitely ROM specific.

Dell's Stage UI anyone porting it?

The new Dell's Stage UI is anyone going to port this for our desires ?

It's a bit early to say just yet, I've had a swing by the EVO Forums, it's still rough there, have to change the LCD density to get it working apparently.
There's a thread for it in the EVO Forums, where it's been seen working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830656
I've tried to search for dell stage in both the Dev forum and the Themes and Apps forum, s'all I got ha ha!
There is THIS though at good and evo http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/11/unreleased-dell-stage-ui-running-on-htc-evo.html
You could always try it out for yourself, I've no real interest in it myself, basically just Sense but looks worse, the app drawer is KILLER though, needs to be in LauncherPRO IMO

Ahh right, I'll have to keep my eyes open I don't even like dells products so don't know why I want to try their ui haha.

Wow that actually seems to work quite well. I'm surprised it's as easy as installing a few apks Not quite like porting Sense to the Nexus One (different kernel, dependencies etc.) lol..

Its really nice tbh. Also surprised its only apks and not flashing a zip. But it worked well on Defrost 6.0

Porting phone.apk from stock to cyanogen

So right now I'm in dsixda's rom kitchen, trying to pull a few stock apps(phone, dialer, contacts, messaging) from a rooted stock rom(cr 2.13 OTA) to the nightly CM7. It's giving me process.com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly at boot and won't let me past. So I know that the OTA rom is froyo and CM is gingerbread, I'm assuming thats my problem. so that being said, first am I right? What do I need to do to make this work? and where can I get a stock gingerbread rom? can I simply drag and drop phone.apk, dialer.apk, etc. or is there more to it?

I don't think that will work. Espresso roms are sense, cm roms are not, they have different frameworks and such. First off, I'm PRETTY sure phone.apk is just the backend to sms/dialer/radio/etc., so you can leave that alone. Why do you want to move those apps over to cm7? Theming? Messaging and contacts I KNOW won't work because they require the tmobile framework resources that cm roms don't have, same with the dialer. You won't be able to move messaging either, since it has different coding from froyo to gingerbread. Contacts and dialer you MIGHT be able to move over if you ALSO move over the com.htc.resources.apk from /system/framework to the same location on the cm rom. You also might have to move the com.tmobile.framework.apk or something like that from /system/app to the same location on cm7 as well.
That may or may not work, it'll more likely just cause force closes everywhere since htc apps are very dependent on other apps and proprietary framework resources that stock android doesn't have.

I don't understand why you would want any of that. To each his own, but I think cyanogen has made all of that stuff better and simpler. The only thing he needs to add is the ability to end the call from the notification bar. I thought sense had a good idea there

I'm not knocking CM I do like it, it's just still buggy. For example in his contacts when entering a new a number with the keyboard the numbers are haywire and dont work, so you have to use the touchscreen. The main thing with the dialer is I miss the T9 speeddial, and messaging is a bit buggy as well, plus I like the old mms.apk ui better. For now I found out about dialer 1 on the market and will use that, but hopefully when it's all said and done things will be better on CM. Can anyone suggest a good messaging app from the market? contacts too maybe?

I use GoSMS. It's free, and you can theme it and such.

Alright. and almost forgot, the stock music player... any way of porting that? I really like the original widget better, and I miss controlling it from the lock screen. I want the old calendar back as well. thoughts?

i missed the dial by name from the SenseUI - this app is a GREAT replacement, you swipe from side to side to get to recent/favs/dial, and it's free: https://market.android.com/details?id=kz.mek.DialerOne

this is available in the later CM7 nightlies (30+) - you can hold the volume buttons to do prev/next, and you can even have the controls on the lock screen...

This is a replacement contacts called Phonebook 2.0. It's pretty cool.
Also, pretty much any of the widgets in sense are sense only ;p

Thanks guys. Yep figured out about the music player, thats good. Already using dialer one, I like it better actually. Now I'm missing the calendar. I really miss being able to see when stuff is coming up on the old widget. Any body got anything on that?

[Q] Replacing Sense MMS.APK

Hi all,
My phone is rooted. Not a fan of the Sense 4.0 SMS/MMS app. I know I can download the default ICS 4.0.3 MMS.apk from the market.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms
When I go to install it, it says it will overwrite the existing application. Before I get reckless...
Couple questions:
- Why is there no existing mms.apk in /system/app ? I can't find it. Does HTC call it something different or...?
- How do I backup the current Sense version in case I screw this up and need to restore it?
- Is the Sense one tightly integrated into the rest of Sense? Will it break other apps, widgets...?

So far I got this working.
1. installed stock ICS SMS from market
2. backed up and removed /system/app/Message+CRC_1.apk
3. rebooted phone
Haven't tested MMS nor any sense features that might bomb (I hope not)
I'll update thread if there are any problems and I need to roll this back

Any Update
Hey. Just wondering if you had any update on how this worked? Everything still fine? I want to go to the ICS MMS app, cause the sense one isn't as nice.

I use it daily, the SMS app works perfectly. Love this change.
The HTC SMS widgets that display your messages on your desktop may not work (don't think mine do) but this is easily remedied by just finding other widgets in the market etc. Just don't put the default HTC ones on your desktop.

Won't uninstalling the app just automatically put stock sense app back in there?

No. The stock ICS app does not play nice with the stock Sense app, you can't have them both on the phone at the same time. Its not like when you install GOSMS or something.
I had to actually delete the sense app right off the phone completely for it to work properly. Otherwise I had strange problems such as messages being sent twice.
Since I physically deleted the sense app there is no going back without re-installing the sense APK.

Did you save the stock apk? No joke one of my hesitations is the messaging app. If I can switch to stock ICS for messaging I may be ordering mine yet tonight.

Honestly no why would i? I updated this post to be kind but I'm not building something here, this was for my own use and it works perfectly. I'd that's not what you're looking to hear, find another thread. I won't lose sleep at night.
As for backing up the original sense app, yes I did see step 2 above. I used adb for this just pull the file.
Again this works perfectly If anyone cares to try it. nothin to lose, if you don't like it just put the sense file back and reboot.

I installed both the calendar and the sms app today and they seem to work fine. Haven't tried mms. Haven't uninstalled anything yet, will see if I run into trouble. Thanks for posting readk, been searching for this but didn't find it until now
EDIT: Ran into problems immediately of course where pressing the Messaging app launched the HTC Messages app. Following your instructions for backup and removal seems to have done the trick though. Next step will be to do the same for the calendar

Wow, get out of the basement once in a while and realize how to communicate with humans. I simply really liked the idea of stock ICS messaging on the HOX and since I don't have mine yet I was just asking to see it because I imagine it would look really awesome. Why would you? I guess since you were sharing what you were doing I thought you wouldn't mind. Guess not.

Just wanted to note that trying to send or receive a MMS crashes the app.
