I'm running CM6, could you post the apk for VVM please?

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.

Cyanogen & Voicemail?

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.

[Q] Help with voicemail and new ROM

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.

[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.

Anyway to install Verizon Visual Voicemail other than the play store version?

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.
