Can anybody with a Verizon X pull the ask for visual voicemail for me??? Running slimkat 4.4.2 on my RAZR HD and dont know how else to get it..
Sorry, when I switched to Verizon last year and realized they were trying to charge Android users for visual voicemail (something I've gotten free on Sprint and ATT) I told them to shove it and switched to Google Voice for my visual voicemail needs. Never looked back.

Unfortunately Google voice and Verizon don't play well together... So I hoped one of you guys could hook me up with the vvm apk..

It takes some finesse, but is definitely possible - I'm using Google Voice for only my voice mail on my Verizon Moto X. If you're interested, PM me, and I can try to help you out.
Also, I do not know how to pull .apks and am not rooted, otherwise I would.

Really? Works flawlessly here and very little finesse necessary on my part.
Set it up, make Google Voice your voicemail provider in Phone / Settings / Voicemail / Service, and in the next step when it tells you your carrier is not able to be set up automatically, just click, next, skip, whatever... then dial the numbers listed here (I dial all three just to be safe, but just using the first had worked for me early on):
https://support.google.com/voice/answer/165656?hl=en
*71[Your 10-digit Google Voice number]
*90[Your 10-digit Google Voice number]
*92[Your 10-digit Google Voice number]

Since no one else seemed too inclined to pull an apk/odex for you, here you go.

7zip. It's just another zip utility with slightly different compression. Just do a search for 7zip and you'll find something that can open it.

You need to put the files in /system/priv-app and make sure the correct permissions are set for both files. If it doesn't show up in the app launcher, you can try installing it from that location.

OK. Do I moved it into the system/privapp folder. It does show up in my app drawer however the app won't open.. What should the permissions be set to? Right now I have everything checked. Tried a couple different combinations but none of them have seemed to work..

it may never work. it might need some other verizon apk to run correctly for all i know. a lot of system apps that verizon or others install rely on other apps to work. thats why people are nervous when removing certain bloat ware system apps because sometimes they help other apps work.
google voice saves money and integrates with every phone and is far more useful. You can set it up to text you when someone hits your voicemail even if you failed to receive the call on your phone. No point in using vvm IMHO.

Doh. I was looking for something that worked with AOSP.
Back when I was using my LG Optimus G Pro on AT&T I was able to enable tethering verification bypass by editing one of the tables in an sqlite database in com.android.providers.settings from a 0 to a 1.
Hoping and praying that it would be just as easy, I went looking in the same location and alas, did not find the same table entry I found in my LG OG Pro.
I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan and would like to be able to share my data with my other devices as I have for the last 5 years.
Can anyone assist with this matter? Or is a custom ROM my only option?
And just to note, I've already tried FoxFi and all it does is access/modify the stock tethering options. When I try to turn Tethering on, it says "verifying" then directs me to ATT's site to add tethering to my plan. WHICH I REFUSE TO DO.
Thanks in advance!
Just FYI I tried adding the entry: tether_entitlement_check_state 0 to the settings.db and rebooting...but when turning on the hotspot, my phone still tries to verify with ATT.

There's a thread about Apps That Do Not Work with Android "L" Preview but now that Lollipop official factory image is out, I think it's time to start a new thread.
I've updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop yesterday and thanks to CF Auto Root and Titanium Backup, I've managed to restore most of my apps' data. So far, the only app that seems to be completely broken is Freedome 1.0.40.1123 (aka F-Secure Freedome VPN). It shows a "Network request failed" error dialog. logcat output is attached, and I've sent their support an email.
Update: Freedome 1.0.41.1142 works fine on Lollipop.
WiFi Web Login 4.1.27 is failing more often then working, but no crashes or stacktraces in logcat. I've already sent them an email reporting this.
Please contribute to this list.

Office mobile always asks you to check connection.
Posti (finland) says same as office.
Edit. I am surprised with office, is anyone also having the same issue?
Skiplock
Marked app as incompatible with Android 5+. Due to changes in Android 5.0, it is no longer possible for an app to unlock the device. Thanks, Google. If I can find a way around this, I will, but don't get your hopes up.

can't install many things
Has anyone else had trouble installing things in the first place? For example, I need to install the Amazon Appstore, but after downloading and opening the apk file the "Install" button will not react. The "Cancel" button works just dandy, but there are several things I've come across that have the same problem as the appstore. Is this due to security settings, the apps needing to be updated, or what? Very irritating. Lollipop is flashy and all that, but so far has been a bit of a pain what with the manual flashing and the root runaround I've had.
Has anyone tried the debloatung program over at the at&t note 4 threads?

I'm pretty sure you're going to need root to use that method.
No root required to disable apps. However, to remove them, then the phone needs to be rooted.

Tried it out just now, thanks for linking it @blkghost22, I've been trying to find a way to disable certain things and this did it!
Stock Music app sometimes comes up when I connect my phone to the car via Bluetooth, and there wasn't any easy way to disable it
I also recommend going to Filter, typing ATT, and disabled all that crap too - I've done everything except Knox, Remote Support, and Usage manager.... someone needs to come up with a safe list of apps to disable to debloat this device, it would be very helpful!
Will this let me disable stuff like the built in browser? Because there are some aid that the phone just won't let you disable which I find really dumb.

It should, I don't know the title of it from an APK or package standpoint (I know it's called Internet, but I can't find it searching right now), but once you find it, you can disable it

Okay, I can't read. I'm sending thanks X 2 to Charlotte, NC.
I'm at 55 apps disabled so far, and I don't think I'm being all that aggressive with disabling TW / Samsung / ATT features..... Anyone know of a good safe list for this phone yet where we can really speed this thing up? Not like it really needs it, but there's lots of hidden crap on it running we know about but haven't been able to disable previously

Honestly, and I appreciate you looking to me for advice, I don't think I'm the best one to go off of, I know that nothing I've disabled was going to crash my phone, but it's all that TW / Samsung / ATT features like I was saying - the program allows you to filter by text used, even if in the middle of a package name, and that helped a few times tracking down some odd APKs
I read on Forbes that the S6 has 56 apps of bloatware on it, and I'm at 55 disabled apps, with a lot of TW / Samsung / ATT features still running, so most likely that was a list of what they could see from the app drawer or something....
Nothing from me. Just wanted to see if people actually tried it. If it worked then go thank the dev or programmer of that debloating app.

So I temporarily unlocked my phone as I am currently on vacation in Europe. I am currently on Orange PrePay and I'm not sure if it is related, but ever since I left the US and unlocked through T-Mobile my battery life has been completely awful (7 hour stand by time.) the culprit is Com.tmobile.pr.adapt which has gotten as high as 35% battery usage. What can I do beside resetting the phone to factory? I don't want to lose all my apps as I don't have the bandwidth to re-download them. Thanks for your help guys
Try disabling it in Settings > Apps.
If it won't let you and you have access to a computer, try using Debloater to block it.
If you don't have a computer, there's probably a way to do it in Terminal on the phone, but you'll have to dig around for the instructions.
That package is part of the T-Mobile my account app, so perhaps disabling or blocking it would help too.

Indeed, you will need to use the debloater tool to block it. You can't disable it otherwise... It didn't hit my battery so much as OP however it caused mobile data to be enabled even though I had disabled it as I was using WiFi and was causing battery drain..

Debloater has the warning message on the T-Mo G4 variant,
so how is anyone claiming a "blocked" app or android component when it's not possible?
Blocked and Hidden are two different things, right ?

I don't think it's that cause I already had it disabled. I was able to freeze it using sdmaid, but don't know it's importance or why it's asking for root rights...
I rooted mine today and then used Titanium Backup to freeze it. Just use the search in TB to find it.
you need to freeze / delete myaccount. i did this without root and that app no longer runs and depletes my battery. you can disable with the debloater, or search for adb commands to do so. since i did that im currently at 22 hours on battery with 15% left (2h 16m Screen On Time).
I had the exact same problem as the OP. It was not an issue until i unlocked and roamed with the phone to another country and my battery would drain like crazy. It was driving me mad until i found what was causing this and then this thread.
It seems that this process constantly wakes up the phone, connects to mobile data, even when on wifi, and sends some info out. Evert few seconds, killing the phone's battery.
I keep getting this.
It keeps poping up but doesnt show up in battery stats

What do you see at the bottom of the debloater window on your computer? do you have adb enabled on your phone? is your phone unlocked? If you see connected did you click the button in the top left that says "click here to begin/read device packages"
That app is constantly requesting root permissions because of the Phone status check. T-Mobile thinks that rooting the phone Messes the phone up.
In the app theres an area where the application analyzes the phone to tell you what's his status. Giving it root permissions would likely explode the phone with notifications
