I've read the old phone trick but I don't know anyone with an old phone.

Hey guys I was using the script to stop/start the phone and clear my voicemail indicator and began to notice a pattern of calls coming in and not showing callerid but when I looked in the call log it showed properly, very odd behavior and frustrating not seeing callerid. So I disabled the script and rebooted and all seems to be back to normal. It didnt happen every time but it was enough to annoy me. So if anyone is using that script and seeing that issue like I was your fix is to stop using the script.

My invisible icon mod doesn't seem to cause any of those issues though feel free to continue with it, and to answer a question I saw somewhere I haven't had problems restoring backups made with mod enabled.

    Seems like some of us are stuck with these persistent voicemail notifications when we aren't on a touchwiz rom. CM7 let you hide these but CM9 does not.

    Until a more official solution comes along this mod simply patches framework-res.apk to use a 1x1 transparent png in place of the standard notification.

    Thanks goes to [s89281b, || Acer ||] from the cm9 thread for suggesting removing this icon or blacking it out. I tried removing but that caused the phone app to force close which led me to use a transparent image which should look fine for most situations.

    I don't actually think you need to wipe anything for this to work but it never hurts to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Also make a backup before flashing this.

    Thanks to tbob18 for putting together a script to auto kill your phone app at boot up. Combine his script with my mod and you have a completely automated solution for dismissing that pesky notification.

    Here you go guys. Took a little experimenting, but it works quite nicely. :)

    Combined with this mod, you'll never see it. :)

    Theoretically the program Autostart (Root) would be a great way to combine these two mods into one cwm flashable zip but it seems the app app does not work on ICS... And every time I tried to do it with preconfiguring script manager, it always force closed :/

    I will keep looking into combining these two mods as I would love to make it a little easier.

    Also thanks to a454nova for pointing out that if you force stop the phone app it will remove the notification and the icon until you reboot. I still like having icon modded to be clear so action isn't required after a reboot until you want to remove the notification.

    Oh and I am not responsible for anything... at all... ever... unless it was good, that stuff is all my fault.

    Menu/Manage apps

    Click the ALL tab and go down to "Phone" and click it.

    "Force stop" it.

    Voice Mail gone. :)

    You will have to do this after every time you restart. A little easier than Titanium Backup. Haven't had issues yet and all seems to work perfect.

    That was quick. Haha

    ;-) I figured if I made a post about it I had better stay on top of it!
