Ok, I love all of the new roms we've had our great developers dropping on us. But on most of the 3.5 roms sprints visual voicemail doesn't work, due to sprint not having an offical 3.5 rom we have to use other carriers ports.
Anyways I figured out a way to get vvm to work on any 3.5 rom, here you go;
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.
*****DO NOT UPGRADE TO NEWER VVM, YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN IF YOU DO!!*****
I don't quite understand the issue here. I'm running PrimeXL 3.5 ROM and my VVM works just fine. Unless you are referring to the text feature that comes along with it?
Is there something else to it?

Yeah, it's weird. I think some of the 3.5 roms are based on different baseboards, like I was having issues getting newtoroots/mik's 3.5 roms to playback directv's sunday ticket app, which I paid for so on sundays I'd flash back to mikg so I could use it.
But it seems like some 3.5 rom's have working vvm, and some dont. It will try to provision the app, but it ends up producing a "general failure".
This fixes that on the other 3.5 roms that it won't work on.
I dont use VVM but i know one of my friends that does. I'll pass the info along. Good work!!!
Sounds great man will take this into consideration man thanks.
It was my understanding that all you had to do was flash to a 3.0 ROM, let VVM provision, do a TB of VVM and data, flash the 3.5 ROM, and restore VVM using TB. So what are the 2 attachments for?
I'm not sure this really "fixes" anything, as once it flashes, VVM does a FC and I have to re-install. A simple backup-restore with TB works just fine, IMO.

David- That used to work on many of the 3.5 roms, but as things have changed and gotten upgraded in certain 3.5 roms, it somehow broke that way of restoring vvm services, but if it works for you or anyone else then absolutely stick with doing that, it just didn't work for me.
Gyro- I tried to just install the vvm.apk but for me on any rom I tried to do that on it wouldn't work unless I did it in the way I listed above, trust me I wouldn't of posted all of that stuff if it wasn't necessary.

Easy way to change that;
When you get one of those messages open it up and press menu, then click "block messages", then it will ask you for a password. Just enter any password that you want (make sure you remember it)
Then it should start blocking all of the 9016 messages.

No, it does not work with the new vvm app. It will give you the "generic failure" message if you upgrade and it won't provision your vvm.

Save the 9016 as a contact and go into your messages APP, Now set up your block password and add the 9016 to the list of Blocked contacts. Problem solved .

I tried this fix on Radiance RC-2. Radiance came with VVM but wans't sure if it was working and what not. I restored from TB my VVM (the one updated by sprint) and then got a voice mail today, didn't work. So I ran the fix (had it sitting on SDCard) and it reverted it back to old voice mail, then asked me to update, so I went ahead and updated and sent myself a voice mail. No go.
As I can see in this thread that there is an issue with the new VVM and it not working on 3.5 anyhow. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I restore my VVM from TB (even though it's the New one) and then run the fix again and let it revert it back to the old VVM?
Thanks for the help and also the fix.

Yeah, do not upgrade to the newer vvm. And you should do what you said to restore vvm service, restore your titanium backup, flash zip and install apk, do not install update.
I will update OP so this doesn't happen to others in the future.
That worked Ron. Thanks for the help. Silly VVM
Worked perfectly, thanks!!!

it probally has something to do with the dialer in fresh, maybe replaceing that with an aosp dialer or cyanogen modded one would work.

How would I pull that out of the rom?
pull and replace the following
\system\app\phone.apk
\system\app\phone.odex
I think that's it... I'm not a rom cooker, so would need confirmation, there's probably other dependencies... my untrained jedi guestimate

It looks like Fresh de-odexed all the apk's so... none of the apps currently use the .odex. I think that causes problems when you try and push a file that is built to use both .apk and .odex. That's my guess. I was trying to push Teeter, but it won't work (I think) for this reason.
I'm having the same problems! GV decides if it's in the right mood or not to make outgoing calls. Sometimes it works, other times it's just nonstop insta-fails. Has anyone pegged down what this issue is?
Also, the SMS delay is much more severe. I was using double SMS workaround (SMS to GV# and Sprint# to force GV to refresh) with fresh 1.1, but that doesn't seem to be working now with 2.0. I'm updating to 2.0b, but I doubt that will quell these issues.
I'd really appreciate if anyone has any ideas on this one. Thanks!
I haven't gotten it to work once. Add this to the list of problems I have had with every Rom with the word fresh in it.

In my case, the GV issue is more severe since it's costing me $$. I use Google Voice to call family in Canada. Using GV, calls are free. I just checked my Sprint minutes usage and turns out that the last call I made was billed via Sprint. Sucks! 13 minutes, $6.37. This really does need to get figured out!
Measter, how are you making calls via the browser? When I try to access the Google Voice site, it sees that I'm on an Android device and tells me to download the app from the Market.

Never worked for me. Every time I tried it said the call was lost. Probably tried 50-60 times, as someone i think mentioned that it "occasionally" worked. Either way occasionally isn't good enough

I just checked this out and it doesn't work for me on Fresh 2.0b. I was running Darch's rom before and I didn't notice if it was working or not, no one I called complained that I was doing it from the wrong number (I use GV as my primary number) but that doesn't mean it was working because I only used it for a day or so.
Luckily it's hopefully only going to be a short wait for an offical 2.1, then shortly after that we'll have a nice new flipz rom.

Same here. I have an Evo on Cricket including market and apps except for MMS. The autostart/u2nl method for the Eris works on the Evo using the same autostart.sh script (unmodified). However the 3G connection is flaky and times out frequently. Also I get random Data Call error 98 messages related to Sprint stuff still on the phone. (I'm running a rooted stock 2.1 ROM)
I also noticed that during the toast root process I was able to ##778# (quite to my surprise) then it went away when I flashed the whitslack update ROM (upgrades radio, wimax, etc).
The strange thing re: MMS is that I tried the APN backup/restore option which worked on the Eris and it "appears" to work. The configuration settings within the Message application "look" right for Production but alas I still cannot receive or send pic messages. No biggie (I ain't paying someone just to get MMS working) but would be nice to have it working. Seems like overkill to have to create an entire ROM just to get MMS working.
Anyway...it's quite frustrating since the Eris works perfectly on Cricket with the autostart/u2nl solution.

Anycut can link to EPST settings.
Chances are the reason it works in one rom and not another is due to the apk's installed. look for differences in the framework folder - the lib folder - and the /system/app folder from your rom that is working the rom that is not.
I belive the EPST settings are native to stock HTC roms and thus not included in a cyanogen based rom (thats how it is on the eris at least). Most people on the phone's true network will never need EPST so it may be getting removed by the rom developer to cut down on space and increase speed etc.
just my thoughts.
Probably not the right place but want to mke sure it gets seen. If it doesn't apply to you then don't respond.
I recently purhased an Evo rooted and installed CM6. I prefer Sprint VVM so started looking for a fix or workaround. I found a post from MagnusRagnarok here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731637&highlight=vvm and gave it a shot. I now have VVM on my Evo working.
On my wife's Hero I wanted to install CM6 but knew she would have to have Sprint VVM. So decided to give it a shot and try the same APK for Evo CM6. Much to my surprise it worked on her Hero as well.

Dont forget you need to go into menu>call settings>voicemail... make sure it's set to "my carrier" and edit the number to reflect you own.
This will cause provision error...

I beloved this happens because the apk files looks at the build.prop file to see if its a vivid or a skyrocket. I have been trying to.install the file to my OG GS2 to no avail. Maybe somebody could edit the apk to make it work on others devices.

Visual Voicemail will only work or install with the pta or phone APN.

I tracked down an apk awhile back for it that worked on every rom I've used. Even cm7 and revenge of mcnut. I passed it on to sean to include with cyanotouchwiz. Go to the cyanotouchwiz thread, and in the OP its attached at the bottom. Use app installer from the market to install it.
I would just like to make a note that I never got a voicemail while on mcnut so I can't say for that but it installed.
Sorry if this seems nooby but I've only used google voice for my voicemails is visual voicemail any good and how do they differ?

Same thing. Google voice works well so I've always used it, plus when/if we get ota ics its built into the dialer so u dont have to switch apps.

I'm not referring to the groupMe app, because they'd also have to install that.
I've tried Go SMS, pansi SMS, chomp SMS, and they don't seem to do it perfectly.
When I receive a group text from an iphone user, I want it to make a new thread with all members of the group text, where I can seamlessly respond to all users. Moreover, the stock app does this in a way that my response is not received as a group text on their end, but simply a message to them (as well as whoever else was in the group). Thus, the response goes into our 1v1 chat thread.
All I want is a plugin, rom, app, anything that solves this ridiculously frustrating issue.
I'd like to know as well. I have not been able to find an easy way to do it. I'm guessing it's Apple hating on us Android folks.
GoSMS does it very well, subject to a few limitations, not sure why it is not working for you. A couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The proper threading is not native but is run after the fact. This requires that the message be fully downloaded before it is properly threaded. This can take 10-15 seconds, if you open the message during that time it will not thread correctly.
2) Unfortunately the app will notify you twice, once the original message is received, and once it is recategorized. I handle this by shutting of sound and vibration in the app and using Tasker instead. If two notifications arrive within 15 secs Tasker just ignores the second one.
From what I have been told Handcent will do something similar
The GoSMS / Handcent implementations are ****. Sorry, but they are.
I've heard tell that Android finally put native group SMS / MMS into Android 4.2, which will likely never come to our phone officially but hopefully we'll get some of the benefit at least as things trickle down in the development community.
I'm also trying to find a solution to this too and I'm always hoping that every update of Go Sms and Handcent fixes this feature. Like one of the previous replies above stated, GO SMS will give you double notifications. It's annoying because it slows down your phone if you get too many all at once.
I've found that Handcent works better than GO SMS because it only notifies you after the message has been downloaded and you don't get double notifications. However, it's still flawed because sometimes your messages hang and dont download properly unless you physically click download. Also, sometimes when you're sending a text and try to hit send, it looks like it sends but just disappears. If you wrote a long message, you would have to re-type it all over again and hope it sends correctly the second time.
If you install CM 10.1 (android 4.2.2), this group messaging feature is baked into the rom. This is probably the best experience I've had to get the group messaging to work. It works like how an iphone user would see it. However, CM 10.1 still has some minor glitches that made me temporarily go back to sense roms. With every nightly, things seem to be getting better though. I will probably try it again in a couple weeks.
Currently I'm back on Viper using Handcent.
Have you tried side loading the MMS apk from 4.2?

Really? Doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm running aokp 4.2.2. Is there something else I must do? I see group messages are checked in the settings already

Guys, where can I find this APK?
can someone dropbox the newest apk?
So i tried installing this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oisv83ye8yv75lj/Mms.apk
I'm on ViperXL right now. I downloaded that MMS.apk to my phone and just tried running it, and the install process came up. Clicked yes through it but the app just force closes.
Am I doing something wrong here?

I've been told before that SMS apps for stock Android won't work on Sense ROMs and vice-versa. No idea why or if that's really true.

I've successfully run a CM10.1 mms.apk in CM10, but I've never tried this with Sense. Do you know what ROM that mms.apk file you have is actually from? I know CM10.1's mms.apk is compiled to require a minimum of JB 4.1, but versions from other JB 4.2 ROMs might have possibly been compiled to require JB 4.2
FWIW: mms.apk file is normally located in the /system/app folder, which requires root permissions to move a file to. File permissions might also need to be modified. Sense doesn't normally has a mms.apk in there since the stock messaging app is built around Sense and I believe the name starts with "htc", but I would assume a new mms.apk would at least run. I'm not sure whether this file location and permissions are actually part of your problem
update -
I've tried the entire process of putting the app in system, setting permissions, and installing, rebooting etc. No avail. App still force closes as soon as it opens.
I think the problem is in fact something to do with sense. I deleted the old messaging app as well first but that didn't do anything either.
Damn.
4.2.2 MMS force closes on viper 4.1
I uninstalled all the htc language packs, htc messaging. Install mms.apk.
I can get the app open, change settings, type a message... But as soon as I add a recipient it force closes.
Since I can do the things I can with the app open seems as though it should be able to work
If there is anyone that wants to work on this? I don't want to bug Turge with it.
Which mms.apk did you install?

That is an mms.apk from an aosp ROM, I didn't mention that when I uploaded it. It won't work properly on a Sense ROM.
