It's an update for the visual voice mail app, and (I believe) their service for it. Meaning added features or something.
You can go THIS THREAD to see info about.

Sprint is adding Voice to text to visual voicemail. You need to opt in for the
service, and there will be a monthly fee, but they are forcing you to update
VVM regardless. If you are on a stock rom, you should have no issues, but
custom roms need the Sprint_App_Updater.apk (which is sometimes removed
from the custom roms). I pulled the required files from NFX's 651.2 rom and
pushed them to my phone, even though I no longer use VVM.
For those people that enjoy the use of the Genius button and Dragon Dictation.
This is the Genius button app that came stock with Espresso Froyo put into a flashable zip. It was taken from the Espresso Sense Rom and has been confirmed working on CM7. I have also included the app called Button Shortcut (free on market) in the zip to make things easier. It can be used to open any app using the Genius Button / longpress search button. The Genius app should also work on HTC Froyo Roms too. Much thanks to the CM team for making CM7 compatable with these apps.
This needs to be flashed/installed from ClockworkMod Recovery. Install it just
like you would flash a rom. You should not need to wipe anything first.

Does genius work fast enough now? It was painfully slow in 2.1

Yes it actually works very well. There is a setting so it doesn't have to verify your contacts now. You can get to it by pressing the button and when it asks you to speak you can hit the menu button.
I'll give it a whirl since vlingo hasnt been working for me on cm7

Works like a charm.
EDIT: LOVING being able to put the genius app on the genius button again. Stuck Navigation onto my camera longpress . MANY thanks for this!
not nearly as fast as vlingo, but has gotten way faster from the 2.1 version. thx bud
A couple of hours after flashing this I begin to have problems with my market and maps. I restored my backup and it works fine. I have tried this on several builds and have the same problem. I use the same builds without it and everything works great. Anyone else having a problem with it? Hope I can get it to work. I want the genius button back. Thanks for posting this.

What kind of problems are you having? I haven't had any issues at all. This should have absolutely no effect on your market. What type of wipe have you done? The slide isn't my primary but I going to sim it up and run it for a bit see if I can help.
I wouldn't think it would cause a problem either. It's the only change I made though. I do a full wipe between each build I try. I have tried on build 19, 21, 23, all with full wipe. On build 19 my market wouldn't download anything. My maps also started force closing. I cleared data and flashed gapps again. Still didn't work. I restored backup and it was fine. On build 21 and 23 my maps worked but my market would not open. It would start to open but close itself again. It doesn't happen right away. It starts several hours later. I have tried each build without and no problems. I do appreciate you posting this though cause at least I can try to get it working. Thanks for trying to figure it out.

Private message me. I have a few things for you to try.
This setup gives me absolutely no problems on my CM-6.1.1, Though there have been problems with the market on CM-7 builds 19 - 23 and I haven't tested this on CM7 due to the variation of people having infrequent problems lately.
One thing I have done though was removed the 'flashable' aspect of it and simply added it to the main ROM being sure to include the /lib folder as well. Works great!
Works on CM 6.1.1
Had to download button shortcut from market. But after I did that and configured it-all is well. And yes it's a bit faster than it was on stock 2.1.

It should have automatically installed it for you. Are you sure it didn't?
This is working great now! I really appreciate having my Genius Button back. Thanks go out to Drew for pointing me in the right direction. Thanks again bro!

Can you get the driving mode to work as on the stock ROM? I flashed it twice and ran fix permissions but when i say driving mode on it responds with hand free is on, but no icon on status bar and wont announce caller or announce theres a new text. Voice dialing, composing text and web search work though. I was just hoping for the driving mode to work.
This is awesome!
I got my search button and a working Genius Button at the same time on my favorite rom (3rdSense)....sweet!!!!
I want to be able to use my Tab as a replacement for my cell phone. The stock rom disables the mic for headsets.
I am looking for a rom that will allow you to make phone calls over 3g! No need for actual phone calls just want to be able to use Skype of some sort of SIP provider.
Looks like Overcome and Cyanogen do not work for Verizon on the 7" Tab.
Hey you might check out the what developer oldmacnut is doing the rom is called "better then life" something like that. I will find link

What your describing is what I do with my tab.
I'm using oldmacnut's "better than life" rom
It's not the rom but a few apps I use to send and receive calls over 3G and WiFi
Sipdroid - use it to make and receive calls using my google voice account (super easy setup)
Go launcher ex and Go contacts - I just happend to like go launcher on my tab and added go contacts because they work well together. Go contacts functions like a dialer and contacts replacement, plus it will route calls through sipdroid without issue.
The combination works pretty well for me give me a solid practical phone solution.

I can confirm skype working very well on OMC's Confidence and Paranoia. I do not know if headset mics are working with it or not, but usually isn't a problem 'cause I just use the mic on the tab.

I'm still running ViperOne 3.5 since there's no 4.x updates yet for sprint phones. I seem to be unable to use the voicemail app. It just comes back with "General Failure" when trying to personalize voicemail or search for updates. I just discovered that I've got like 10 voicemails that I had no idea existed. Is there a different app i need to use now?
YouMail is my favorite

Dude you mail works great thanks!
well i havent seen this anywhere yet... so google decided to publish the phone and contacts app in the playstore and then pull them both the same day. im using the phone app (not the contacts app) now and it works great. i just installed it over the existing phone app. im running tmobile mra58x stock rooted. for those of you using custom roms or lollipop; make a backup of your rom and install as a regular apk and report if it works. but as far as i know this is for marshmallow only.
i found the apps here but ill post them below as well.
Instructions
1. make backup
2. download and install as regular apk
3. report back here if it works on your rom/version of android.
PSA: disabling stock dialer app in most roms will disable in call ui. We must keep both phone apps.

on pure nexus there was a zip that replaces both..
but its not working for some other roms
Contact app just went live again on play store
Dude, you're the man. Thank you so much. I love the call block feature. Btw, I took a gamble and didn't backup my rom. I just installed it over my stock dialer like you said and it works perfectly! Thanks again!
Did anybody else's nearby places search stop working on the dialer after this was pushed to the play store?
