Finally!! Sprint VVM for ICS is here. This apk was ripped from the leaked Epic touch 4g ICS ROM.

I've fully tested this apk, and it's working, there's some screen tearing /redraw problems in settings menu but regardless, we now have sprint vvm.

This is what I did and worked first time. YMMV

1. Download attached Sprint VVM apk, Install like any other downloaded APK
2. Using Root explorer, go to 'data/app' folder and find the newly installed sprint vvm
3. Select the VVM app and MOVE it to your 'system/app' folder. (permissions should already match because it was installed, but make sure it matches all other apps in system/app folder) 4. Boot into Recovery, Clear 'Cache'/ 'Dalvik Cache', then 'FIX PERMISSIONS', next 'Reboot system'
5. Once booted up, open the Sprint VVM app and click on compose.
The recipient will be '[email protected]'
Record about 15-20 secs just incase, then send the message.
You should receive a notification saying that your phone is provisioned.
6. Tap to compose another message and this time send one to yourself, wait about 5 mins and and you should receive a new vvmail notification.

7. (Optional) Do a backflip and say 'fkn A right Doggy' :)

There still isn't an easy permanent solution for the 'Ghost vmail notification' but for now, go to manage apps, scroll to 'Phone' and press 'clear data'. * this Will have to be done after every reboot.

Another thing that I do because even if you remember to do it right away after a reboot, the icon itself may bother you so I downloaded 'ROM Toolbox' and changed the Vmail notification icon in the status bar with the dark blue one they have. I'm a little OCD sometimes so not having a vmail gray icon there really helped too. I'll show you what I mean in the screenshots

screenshot shows what I mean about the dark blue icon.

NOTE: Even if the "Ghost vmail icon" is present, if you receive a notification of an actual new Vmail, it will show as its own "new vmail notification". The ghost vmail notification and icon are independent of the Actual vmail notification process.

1st screenshot show which app needs the data cleared

I installed this today on Shift Deck prebeta4 ICS. It provisioned successfully, and I can send voicemails, however, it seems to have a problem playing the voicemails. I hit play and the slider doesn't move at all. No sound or anything. And then the play button turns into a pause button shortly after. For instance, if I have a 15 second voicemail, I will play it, it will do nothing for 2-3 seconds, then the pause button turns back into a play button. Anyone else having this problem? I followed the instructions closely.

This happens even if I try to play the "stock" voicemails that introduce you to Sprint's visual voicemail?

FWIW, I'm on Shift Deck prebeta4, which may have some issues, but it seems alright so far.

I have the same issue as well, the voicemail messages do not play. I am using Decks evo 4g ics pre beta 5. It also does not pick up voicemails. If I send myself one using compose within vvm I get the voicemail just fine (still won't play but I get it). But if I call my cell from the house phone and leave a message vvm is oblivious to it and shows no pending voicemails.

I have it up and running. It does blur a little but it still works good. Is there anyway to stop sprint from sending a text message every time I get a new message? VVM notifies me, so I don't need the text from sprint anymore :).

Thanks in advance

blacklist them with gosms disable notifications from stock messager think they are 9016 you will still have to delete them but they wont pop up any more use a one click cache cleaner of your choice makes deleting them a non issue

OK, I tried it this morning, but everytime I click on it, it crashes my launcher and the VM. Now, in the app drawer instead of the regular icon it's a green android icon. Any ideas? I'm using the gummyworms ICS ROM.


EDIT: Got it. I just uninstalled, then used root explorer to find where the apk was downloaded, reinstalled it, and skipped all the other steps. blamo, works perfect. Took a while for the voicemails to roll in, but it's all just fine. Thanks!
