Wondering how one might get VVM (Visual Voicemail from Sprint/SenseUI) working on one of these ROMs.
(Specifically Using DarchDroid 2.7)
Someone (Decad3nce?) offered to possibly help with this on page 3 of Darchs newest ROM thread I believe. They mentioned that we should grab Sprint_Core.apk from DC, and then I assume the VVM apk (if I can find it).
I would assume since (at lease the Sprint_Core) are sys apps, that they cannot be "installed" like an app apk. Could I get specific instructions on how to get these installed on Darchdroid? I would assume through adb? (Only used this a few times...)
Since I have a nice nandroid BU I like, and on a fresh flash of DD (KangSlayer!), willing to experiment a bit.
lol, coming from the same forum asking the same question. i actually got one to install but as far as it working im not sure. i tried sending myself a message and it never came through. the one i was able to install is an older version i believe but ill attach it.
I sent Decad3nce a PM, perhaps he will find time to help us VVM addicts
(seriously the ONLY Hero feature I "can't live without". LOL)
lol. its weird but since flashing an aosp rom, it seems as though i get voicemails more often. its really annoying having to use the regular voicemail thing which is why im requesting a fix for VVM.
Ok, sorry about that. I was at the hospital(my great aunt). But, I'm throwing together a flashable for you and for anyone else. Just working out a kink.
oh wow, sorry hear. hope shes ok. thanks in advance.

im confused...are you putting the zip up because your nice, or because it takes more than just the .apk to make it work? id understand either way
i believes its because it take more than an apk for it to work. ive already tried installing one, and while it did work i couldnt receive messages.
Here's the flashable with a few changes to the database, apns_conf.xml, and build.prop. (essentially the changes that were made in DarchLegend to get this working).
Make sure you have your entire ROM already set up before flashing this.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. FLASH THE ATTACHED ZIP, IT CONTAINS ALL THE FILES YOU'LL NEED
Code:
The files will be flashed, or moved to the right places
2. INSTALL SPRINT_CORE.APK (Which is VVM)
Before doing this, check if you can find "voicemail" in your app drawer. If you can, you don't have to install. Some people's Voicemail doesn't show up so it requires the install.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app/
install Sprint_Core.apk /system/app/SprintVVM.apk
exit
3.CHANGE YOUR VOICEMAIL SETTINGS IN SETTINGS>CALL SETTINGS>VOICEMAIL
Code:
Put your phone number under carrier settings
it's as easy as...
FLASH, THEN INSTALL, THEN CHANGE SETTINGS
NOTE If you flashed yesterdays version, it changed your mod version to 2.6.4. It's not a huge deal, but it might mess with DSUpdater. So just flash this to get the right version.
SORRY!
So, to clearify I have to change the settings for my voicemail, then flash this and then finally install vvm?

Worked for me as far as I can tell.
Only thing is, and I don't know if/how this is related, but I get a text from some weird number every time I get a call or voicemail now. I don't know if it's because of the ROM or this. It's really annoying and the text is mostly gibberish..

hey guys running modaco 2.2, and my voice search FC's everytime I try to use it.
I use the VS almost daily, so today was a bit harder than normal without it .
So can anyone help me please? It fc's whenever I open it in any application.
I have the same issue. No idea what happened. No idea how to fix it.

I think i figured it out Modaco doesn't support it in the rom I went over tried out Gumbo's I like it a bit better than modaco's cause it doesn't feel as stock as modacos. it is based on his . Maybe there's an apk to enable it floating around somewhere.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero-roms/4361-hero-rom-gumbo-rom-project-beta.html
Ya that sounds right. It started as soon as I updated to 2.2. Hopefully there will be a fix or something soon.
use fresh's kitchen to clear both the boot and dalvik cache. voila, problem solved.

if you have voice search then you're missing the libspeech.so file in the lib folder, in system
go to you cmd and check to see if your libsppeech.so file is in there if not then push the file back in and reboot.
attached is two zip either push the file on your own or the sign zip put it in your sdk card and install in form recovery like you would to a rom.
good luck
EDIT:
RESOLVED
THANKS GREG :-D
ok heres the scoop
i first starting noticed it today when just messing around trying diffferent apps (check out "spring ball" simple but fun!) the app downloaded, but upon completion, the market.vending force closed. i tried and retried and retried and no apps would install. thinking the issue was my rom, i did a fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
later in the day the issue started again. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
-regawmod
again.
-regawmod
sick and tired of reflashing, i flashed fresh 2.0d in hopes to avoid the error. flash was sucessful, had fun themeing, market worked! once again, messing around with some new apps, the issue persisted. fresh wipe and reflash. market worked!
again.
-fresh2.0d
again
-fresh2.0d
GOD DAMMIT. in hopes to correct whatever the issue was i flashed damages latest, thinking, hey, its the closest to stock thats available in regards to 2.1, shouldnt have any issues. issue STILL persists.
i posted the issue in flipz thread, with a confirmation of the same issue from another user, but no fix (mondays apparently arent dev days lol; FLIPZ WHERE ARE YOU?!)
information:
i have the latest prl and flipz pri. i have stock radio and latest recovery (green nexusbear :-D). the fact is, whatever rom i flash, in the BEGINNING i am able to download all my apps, but after about a half hour, everytime i download an app from the market, it finishes downloading, then the market force closes, and the app just sits there at "xxx sucessfully downloaded" no install at all. i can still install from my SD card. at the beginning of every flash, i admit i go on a huge deletion spree via root explorer, but i have done my research and know what is safe to remove, i dont think thats the issue; maaaybe it is?
normally i would post a logcat, but i cant download and install it to post it!
anymore confirmations of the same issue, any FIXES?
tia
i hate to bump, as much as you hate to see it, but i could really use some help on this one
This happened to me too several times. There's a very easy fix

For whatever reason, there is an update being installed to Vending.apk. It doesn't do anything except for break it. Market will still work (the way it's supposed to actually), you're not really uninstalling anything.

i wiped and reflashed damagecontrol
i let it sit for a few before installing anything
i installed a few apps, and it went great

as soon as i downloaded and installed metamorph and applied the 3g icon, the market force closed.
going in for your fix now, greg
greg buddy your fix worked like a charm :-D

Don't know if I posted this in the correct spot... either way
I keep getting a Sprint Voicemail notification stating
"New Voicemail (1) dial ###-###-####"
Even though I do not have a voicemail
It is not coming from Google Voice nor Sprint VVM, seems to be coming from elsewhere and I can't get rid of it. It's a pain in the rear. Anyway to get rid of it???

This totally sucks! How can we end it and just have regular voicemail HTC HERO CM6
Is it perhaps a text message? I PMed you back, try the things I suggested and see if that helps any. If any of them work, please post it in the thread, incase others are having the same issue.
Wrong spot to post this. Should be in Q&A

sorry first post my bad
I'll try what you sent in the pm here soon
I tried flashing the nightly version and its still there. right from the boot.
I can try flashing the old phone.apk file from the other one but I don't know, like you said, if that's compatible...
I think its a problem with the phone.apk, the bug is present in darchdroid 2.8.
There are 2 things you can try. One is to nandroid backup, flash a senseUI rom, clear the notification, then nandroid back.
You can try pushing the phone.apk from darchdroid 2.7, it fixes the bug, but I don't know for sure if its compatible with CM6
You can try flashing the newest nightly CM, RC0 is a very old release.
its much more up to date, and perhaps has the fix in place already.
be sure to flash the correct Google ****s,
gapps...1-3-signed.zip
and the battery tweak/charging LED fix..
collin...k_v3_beta7.zip
Goodluck
thought I'd post to give other people having the problem a shot to see if anything works!

Did you wipe before you flashed the nightly? Try flashing a sense rom, and see if you can clear it from there.
First time I didn't wipe... I wiped just now its loading up... I'll let y'all know what ends up happening.....
I posted a screen shot in the first post.
Wiping did nothing...
Ended up showing up again...
gotta be an easy work around hahaha... ugh
I'm talking to myself but its for anyone else having the same problem
I did a complete wipe installed the latest Nightly...
I had the voicemail notification occur once and now its not coming back *fingers crossed* and besides that all the apps in the app store are back....
Also have Sprint VVM working again... sorry I'm not a big google voice fan
2.2 roms have that issue cause theyre ported from a different system.thats why they say 3g .not evdo,once they get the source itll be fixed.....im not a pro,but im almost sure what i said is right.not in those exact words, but somethin like that lol.some1 back me up on this haha
Ok nothing has worked. I've gotten at least 5 notifications since I woke up...
Any other ideas I'm willing to try.... and about flashing the other phone.apk I don't know where to get that or if it will even work
I'm up for any other suggestions please!

yea, i'm not gunna blame you for not searching because it took me a whlie to dig up this post, but to permanently get rid of the voicemail icon, do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6619816&postcount=1007
but if you don't want to go through that whole process, you can see on the drop down menu in your screenshot theres an option to clear that voicemail. maybe you should try tapping that.
haha thanks darch.... I know I can press clear I do it.. then it just comes right back about 15 minutes later or until I receive another text message. I wish it was that simple.. wouldn't that be amazing?

I had the same problem. It's from the modded mms.apk on the ROM. Adb remove mms and push a stock mms.apk from an older ROM (one you know that works ok). Voila! No more annoying Android messages.
had no problem removing mms.apk but pushing it.... was difficult it never actually pushed for some odd reason.... so I ended up with a phone that cannot receive any sort of text messages.... haha I just had to do a nan restore but still... I've tried it 3 times now.. and failed 3 times...
hmmm help!

Hey,
Just saw your message. You have to put the new Mms.apk in your AndroidSDK/tools folder and then run your command prompts. You don't run adb shell command. Here are the commands in bold:
C:\Windows\System32>cd /AndroidSDK/tools (hit enter)
C:\AndroidSDK/tools>adb remount (hit enter)
remount succeeded
C:\AndroidSDK/tools>adb push Mms.apk /system/app/
Wait for the prompt to return a message of "X" amount of KB sent in "X" amount of seconds and then exit.
You can copy and paste these commands instead of typing. Remember everything is case sensitive.
Everything is fixable!
Did what you said....
using a mac...
./adb push Mms.apk system/app/
returned...
1402 KB/s (1074799 bytes in 0.748s)
shows up in my OI file Manager that is in fact in the system/app folder but will not actually show up in my applications if that makes sense...
once again unable to receive texts
Nandroid restore*
hmmm
why is it pushing it to my device but not actually loading up anywhere?

go back to stock 2.1 update the app from there, then backup the .apk (astro file explorer has a tool that allows you to do this) then install it in the other builds

Yeah, it's something like that in system/app

if you delete the apk it may cause problems(maybe. didnt for me but has for others). you also wont be notified of vm's. youll have to call to check. on a 2.1 rom, that is. thats how it worked for me anyway.
personally, my vm isnt working on my new device. like it never set itself up correctly. if anyone should happen to have a link to some instructions to set this up, that would be fantastic. I hate calling the silly people at sprint. thank you

it didnt work. i removed the original, flashed yours. still have the undelivered message, the activation message. nothing is working, i cant figure it out. and when i called sprint, they reset my vm, so i lost messages and had to set up everything again...
FYI to Impaler, your VVM version in your sig works for those in areas where an official update has not rolled through yet.
Don't know if you are aware, but Sprint recently updated the VVM software to version T.5.1.0.48 (here in TX it was updated the last week of October). Note that Sprint CSR will not be able to help you reset it unless you are on a Sense ROM. Period.
Two options to fix on your non-Sense ROM... there is an updated .apk floating around on these boards (might need to PM someone for it). Get it and install via your file manager.
Or...
Other way is to nandroid your current ROM, then flash a Sense ROM like Fresh's most current. Then, update your PRL and Profile, then go into the VVM and press Menu and update Sprint VVM.
Then, either try to nandroid back to your original ROM and check to see if that does it (haven't tried that, but it might work)... or else... yes, you will need to pull the updated com.coremobility.app.vnotes from the Sense ROM and install the pulled .apk into your new ROM.
Hope this helps.

Excellent...let me add to this...
I suppose using variations of ROMS that don't include VVM and block 9016 caused this issue.
You can unblock 9016 by going to your account online, under "My Devices," then "My Preferences." Scroll down to the "Limits and permissions" section. You will see the "Block Texts" link there.

we can get some ROMs going with an sbf with root as a backup and Nandroid backup to go all the way back to stock in case you need to return the phone.
also - we can edit the frameworks to get rid of the BS massive carrier title in the notification bar.

Most likely the people making those would have to get the updated framework files and redo the themes to make it work with new firmware. If you really need the theme then i'd recommend waiting for a bit to give people time to make some stuff for the update before you install it. Having root is a good start to getting there though

Root is always the first step but the important thing here as stated above is that bell users can use cwm to backup bell then flash to this telstra verson and root to install cwm and recover to bell if necessary. I'm sure someone will port a theme with a dark bar soon This rom also has minor improvements such as 2.2.2 and hspa fix (or so the small tester army is saying).
Lol, I can't seem to type fast enough to get a response out...yesssss, refresh!

Most likely the people making those would have to get the updated framework files and redo the themes to make it work with new firmware. If you really need the theme then i'd recommend waiting for a bit to give people time to make some stuff for the update before you install it. Having root is a good start to getting there though

raybond25 i sent you a PM don't know if you got it but basiclly do i have to wait for a new set of deodexed files and then also have to wait for the theme to be compatible with this SBF? thanks
EDIT: also i don't mind waiting for a few weeks for some compatible themes etc. i want my fast upload speeds etc.

Yes, that is correct. I wasn't really thinking of deodex. I believe the process is essentially the same for every update, so I don't expect it will be long before this is done. If you really like your current theme setup you might as well wait a week or two before installing the new sbf.

already flashing it, lol. i did like the gingerbread theme but i can live with a white notification bar a settings menu for a couple weeks, most everything else i can get to look the same. but it shouldn't take very long to at least get a black notification bar updated to work with this SBF (few days to a week im guessing)
okay i have run into a problem, when i try and sign in to my motoblur account i get the error (an error has occurred, please try again) also i have no data connection (may just have to enter bell APN settings later) but using wifi. can someone help me with this and is there a way to bypass the setup? thanks
EDIT: managed to bypass motoblur setup using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027994 and i do have to enter bells APN settings but i think the problem was my wifi at the motoblur setup screen, its doing some crazy connect>disconnect>connect>disconnect thing so that is probably why i couldn't set up my motoblur account
EDIT 2: everything is working except the wifi issue but i never use the wifi, waiting for root script so i can restore using titanium backup!

If its like Bell and has skip setup option when you press menu....
If not, read the thread in this forum called something like" using atrix with no SIM or motoblur account"

I never set up my motoblur (on bell version haven't flashed this one yet), I think I just didn't put in my sim card and didn't connect to wifi and it let me bypass it. Bell apn should be easily found.

i just installed this rom and running great , set up the rogers APN and all my preferred settings, now just waiting for this root
wont be long
Just working out the final kinks, and testing on a fresh flash to be 100% everything is explained and working perfectly.
I'm going to flash this now, hoping it fixes some issues I was having. Once it gets deodexed I will update my theme ASAP, because I really cant stand the 2.2 look
Great tutorial, thanks!
Can you confirm that we can install cwm and return to the stock bell? ...Just in case we miss the bellbloat
@silent8..amazing...
