I have been trying to get VVM to work on an AOSP rom (Evervolv) and came across a fix that Duvalbmarley posted. I had to take one extra step to get it to work by sending the "[email protected]" message from the voice mail application. For those of you that want to try it, here is a step by step for what I did, similar to Marley's post... all credit to Marley!
1. Copy a VVM apk to your SD card. Make sure you use an apk and not a zip file from a Sense rom. I have attached the apk that I pulled from the zip file that worked for me.
2. Have a Sense rom and AOSP. I have been running both Myn and Evervolv so I have them both. You can either flash them fresh or install them from a nand backup.
3. Using the Sense rom, make sure your VVM is working. I think it's helpful to send yourself a message from another phone to confirm it's working.
4. Once verified, run a Titanium Backup of the voice mail application. Since VVM is pre-installed in most (all?) sense ROMs, Titanium Backup will only backup the data.
5. Either nand backup or flash your AOSP rom. Whichever you do, make sure you don't have a copy of VVM already installed.
6. Find VVM apk on your sd card and install it using a program like "File Manager" or "Astro" file manager.
7. Got to Titanium Backup and restore Voice Mail. It should give you the "restore data" only.
8. Open up VVM. If you didn't delete your test email, you should see it in your voice mail list.
9. (This step may not be necessary for everyone, but I had to do it.) In the VVM program menu, compose a short message (couple seconds) and in the "to" box type "[email protected]" and choose send.
10. Leave another voice mail for yourself from another phone and confirm that it works!
You will continue to get the "9016" text message, but you should be able to eliminate that by running an alternative messaging app like Handcent and blacklisting that number. Make sure you turn off notifications in the stock messaging app, or the 9016 will continue to show up.
Worked perfect on the latest CM7 nightly
Has anyone gotten sprint visual voicemail working without the titanium back up step? Can we get it working without re flashing a previous rom and backing up the vmm data then flashing again the cm7 rom? Thanks

I found that after you do it once it works for future rom updates if you don't wipe full.

Yea, it worked on cm6 as well... cm7 is a whole new ballgame.
work perfect !!! CM 7 RC1 Thanks!!!
Thanks for this, I missed this when I switched to Cyanogenmod from Sense. On CM 6.1.2 all I had to do was install it & it instantly grabbed my messages. I had data already backed up but didn't restore it. I'll thank you properly when I get on a computer.
Your welcome! Glad it worked!
Big thanks to you. worked on my CM7 wimax build 11.
thank you. Worked on CM7
thanks for the instructions!!! Now my voicemail work perfect in CM7 Build 8
I constantly get a data error message. It won't even allow me to send the activation message. It files it under the undelievered category.
this worked like a charm, thanks!!
I was having the mandatory update problem, and then getting a general failure. I suspect that when another update comes out, i may have to go through the process again. But I was reading another thread about needing the sprint installer apk to make the voicemail update work. I dont know. But mine works perfectly for now!

RC 1 can now be found HERE
Here is a mirror
How to get back to stock if you are having issues:
1. You will need to flash a sbf, you can find guides here for Windows and here for Linux.
2. Reboot recovery by pressing X on the keyboard and turning it on
3. Press the search key so a menu pops up
4. Navigate to wipe data with the volume keys. Select with the camera button.
5. Then navigate to reboot with the volume keys and select with the camera key.
You are back to stock and you can root!
The File Manager was included in this rom so you are able to install the Bootstrap application so you can restore a back up or flash a different rom. Wipe your data after this.

Sweet, i am so excited for this. Gonna install it as soon as I get a chance, downloading now. I can't wait to see if you guys figure out custom kernels
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
I'm real curious to hear what you guys found that will allow custom kernels on this phone. I already read over what birdman and nenolod were trying and it seems they threw in the towel. I read some other posts on droidforums about initiating essentially a second boot second to trick the phone into loading a custom kernel, but nothing more on that topic. Really curious to see how you might be able to implement this
Nice work guys. I will probably give this a try this weekend.
I too would like to hear your theory on how to get a new kernel on the phone. Not in a hurry to see it happen, but just curious to hear the underlying theory.
Though, I do understand if you are waiting to get it released before sharing. Just don't forget to let the community know when/if you get it worked out. It will open a lot of doors for some of these rom cookers around here, and rom cookers of the future.
and just installed it, sans computer intervention (thank god nothing went wrong or I'd be SOL for 5 hours lol, im at work)
mounted, wiped cache/data, remounted, installed, remounted, and wiped cache/data again just to be safe
now I'm waiting for it to restore all my apps and stuff so I can get everything reconfigured and have a glorious blur free phone! thank you so much devs, this is fantastic
Hey guys, awesome ROM! Very stable so far!
One thing I noticed: The "Car Home" application shows up in Android Market, but the update fails when attempting to apply it. Not sure what the cause of this is just yet. If I can glean more information from my own testing, will let you know.
Thanks again for the work you've put into this!

I am not sure why that happens, but if you really want the new one from market, you can just remove it from /system/app and then it will install fine from market. I have had that issue with other apps before. Honestly, with a lot of these apps in the market now, there really isn't much need to include them in the rom.
Seems to work pretty well. Got stuck in a boot loop because I didn't wipe my data, so I rebooted recovery and wiped it. Problem solved.
The only problem I'm having is that I can't get Backup Assistant to work, so I can't restore my phone numbers.
I downloaded the stock app rar, and tried doing an ADB install for BackupAssistanceClient and BuaContactAdapter, but I get "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]".
I tried copying over BuaContactAdapter.apk and BackupAssistanceClient.apk manually (to /system/app) and setting permissions, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?

Export your contacts from the verizon website and then take that file and import it into gmail and sync your contatcs with gmail. Then, it doesn't matter which rom you install you'll have your contacts.

Here's what I did with another ROM. Go to VZW with your pc. Navigate to contacts. Export contact list as Outlook CSV. Go to your gmail acct and import the CSV. Sync phone contacts to gmail. Important to do the outlook export though. Regular CSV doesn't populate gmail contacts properly.
Just a quick question. If and when we flash this, are we still rooted? If so, can I just install bootstrap and reboot recovery and restore? Or do i have to do the whole root process again like if it was an original phone from store?
one thing with the bootloader i remember when i first got my eris was people on the fourms would keep emailing htc for the bootloader keys because it was hard to crack and htc gave them up ... maybe if we flood moto with emails and stuff they'll loosen up like htc

Yes, it comes with root. No, you do not want to restore. Restoring will bring you back to the backup you created. This rom comes with Superuser.apk (root) no need to re-root.

I seem to remember the alpha thread saying not to flash themes over this....but don't think it was mentioned this go round....still the case? (assume so). Figured it was worth noting in the first post if that's the case.
Also....I just installed this, and am also stuck unable to get it programmed.
First time it started the music and then got a failed message. Since then I don't even get the music, and after 20 seconds or so I just get a "Please enter the # you're calling about" message and if entered, it just tries to transfer me to cust service.

I was reading the CM7 thread and there was a post that said someone has VVM working on CM7 they just needed to use a older APK. Can that person or someone post the APK that works for them on CM7?
Thanks, I searched the entire 451 pages for anything to do with VVM.
taken from another thread using search
I got vvm working in cm7 by doing this:
1. nandroid my current build (uninstall vvm if you already have it installed)
2. flashed a stock rooted ruu stock 2.2 rom
3. verified vvm was working
4. install/download titanium backup
5. backed up vvm + data
6. restored my nanroid from step 1
7. restored vvm + data
8. volia
otakueric said:
3. verified vvm was working
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I was unable to verify that it worked as the RUU stock rom is not compatible with the MR2.5 radio update.. I'll see what happens in just a bit as I keep my fingers crossed during this restore of CM7 with the new backup app+data!
Ok, after going back and fourth from so many different roms (usually going back to mikg) I finally decided to try to get vvm to work on 3.5 roms, I'm pretty hardcore when it comes to having all features that work on sense 1.0+ on 3.5 roms.
I am also currently working on getting EPST to work on all 3.5 roms, anyone that wants to help let me know!.
Also- Please don't flood this thread with "You don't have to do (whichever step)" you may of not had to do while restoring working vvm to your particular setup. Some roms you can just restore a working vvm from a previous backup, this fix is NOT for you!. You can post that you didn't have to use all of the steps that I posted, but please do not post that everyone does not have to use all steps. I end up getting flooded by PM's of people saying "So and so said in the thread that all you have to do is..."
Also to BLOCK 9016 you have to follow these steps
1. Get a vvm and the text from 9016
2. Open your messages app and open the message from 9016, then press menu.
3. Select "Block Messages"
4. Setup a password
5.Then once you're past that press menu again and select "block list"
6. Select "add block people"
7. enter "9016" (without quotes) then select done.
Anyways here is the fix to get vvm to work on any sense 3.5 rom;
1. Have a titanium backup of a working vvm (with a couple voicemails on it)
2. Restore it to whatever 3.5 sense rom you want.
3. Reboot into recovery wipe cache,dalvik then flash attached .zip file.
4. Once phone is rebooted, install the attached .apk.
Let me know if anyone has issues!, I've tested this on a few different 3.5 roms, works fine on all of them.
Note- I have had a couple of times after flashing different fixes that it breaks vvm, if you get force closes, just reinstall the .apk and it will work again.

Much more here than is actually needed. All you need is step 1. Then restore DATA ONLY from Titanium. Has you up and running in about 15 seconds.
Does this fix the 9016 text message issue also?
To block 9016 all you have to do is open the message from 9016 in your texts, then press menu, then press block messages...

You can also compose a message in vvm to [email protected]. record a 5 or 10 second message and send. This worked on a few different phones including the evo. Not sure how or why, but it works.

Hello.
I want to know if somebody can/is run(ing) a stock Android email apk (as the one in the nexus phones or Xoom tablet), instead of the Samung email client.
I really want to use such version, as I cannot get confortable with the samsung version.
Instructions to install it? Sideload? adb push? where to find an apk?
I had a Google version running but I flashed a new rom after the leak and am having issues getting it to work. If I do soon I'll let you know

These are the best email apps hands down.. the stock email.app got better but this is 'NEW GMAIL' style and works with your personal email box on pop3 or imap or exchange! its just great!

Did you try changing the permissions for both apps when you copied them to the /system/apps folder?
the permissions need to match the other files in the folder rw-r--r--
(all the read boxes need to be checked and just the owner write box needs to be checked)
I can confirm these files do work.
Thank you mhk!
Confirmed working with Smooth Ice ROM and Exchange 2003 server. So far so good. Wish I hadn't spent the $10 on EnhancedEmail...
the google email will not give me the option to push my yahoo email accounts any ideas?
I'm trying to get these email apps to work on LR2.6 but the emailgoogle.apk wont launch. It breifly opens before it FC.
I have tried fixing permissions but still no joy.
The reason why I have been lookign to change from the stock email.apk is that I couldn't get exchange to work properly with my work email which I did have working on a previous ROM.
Any ideas what I could do to get it to launch? Should this work on GT-i9100?
Not working on UCLD2??
Seems like this aosp apps wont work on the UCLD2 leaked release.
Anyone has success?
Works for me on NexusMOD UCLD2. It took me a few tries to get it to work though. I had to clear data for the built in email, then rename them, install the new ones and reboot. Let it settle. The first few times it would force close all the time, but after clearing data and then rebooting, it worked.
I finally managed to create some flashable zips that work, so you can move from Samsung email to Google/ICS email app much easier. All you need to do is go into manage apps, Email and clear data and cache (if any), reboot into recovery and flash ICS_EmailGoogle_update.zip. It will rename Email.apk, Exchange.apk and SocialHub.apk and install the new apks. To revert back to stock, again go to manage apps, Email and clear data and cache (if any) and boot into recovery and flash ICS_Stock_Email.zip. If you don't clear data, when you switch back and forth you will get FC's. I only use this with Exchange, so I can't verify if it works with other providers, but it works great for me.
I realize you can do all this with a rooted file explorer, but with the amount of times I seem to have to do it, this is easier...
As always, no guarantees, if your phone blows up, I'm not responsible. If you are curious, open up the zips and check out the scripts, just so you can see that I'm not deleting your system partition...
Enjoy!

First, I want to thank SCDevs and xdaid for putting this app out and for continuing development and support. The original thread can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561729
The app can also be downloaded for free in the Play Store here: http://goo.gl/Zmzmh
May I suggest that you support development of this app by buying the Donate version here: http://goo.gl/SVtyl
What does this app do? This app will make a flashable update.zip of all your apps and their data, /including system apps if you so choose, for you to flash after you complete a full wipe and flash a new rom.
While it is understood that Titanium backup can restore all your apps and data and take a relatively short amount of time to do its job, this app makes it a bit more convenient by allowing you to just flash a zip and be done with it.
Enjoy the app.
I found a bug with the restoration of 2 apps.

The stock sense mms.apk? Idk I haven't tried that. Haven't used a pure stock sensation Rom since last July. I'm guessing no since stock is gb and sense 4.0 is ics. You can try it tho. If you want to save your messages just use.sms backup and restore in the Play Store. It's a free app and has always worked for me.
On a side note, I know the stock ics mms.apk DOES work on sense 4.0. I'm using it on OrDroid right now.
Hope that helped. Lmk if I didn't answer your question.

Weird. Ok so the way around that is to grab the update-binary from a rom that doesn't use aroma installer (I used aokp when I tested this) and overwrite the one found in data/data/scdev-app2zip/files then make your backup zip. I know that will work.
