[APP] Slightly themed Visual Voicemail 05/05/11

[Insomaniac10]

Hey guys. Its been a while since ive posted anything, so i figured id share this small thing i did.

I was absolutely sick and tired of the home screen of tmobile's visual voicemail app. I thought it was absolutely hideous, so i went ahead and changed it, along with a bit of the button framework. Also the launcher icon, so its not pink anymore.

nothing major here, just one of those little things that might make your voicemail experience just a weenie bit better. enjoy.

Installation

Download attached .apk to sdcard, and install using a file manager.
***If you have visual voicemail currently installed (either as a system OR third-party app) it needs to be uninstalled BEFORE installing this modded version.

MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL THIS AS A THIRD-PARTY APP, NOT A SYSTEM APP. IF IT REFUSES TO LET YOU INSTALL, YOU HAVE TO FIX PERMISSIONS, WIPE CACHE/DALVIK CACHE!

Nice work Top! Will this work with 2.2.1 roms or is it just for Trigger?

Sounds good, I'll give it a try. This is much more visually appealing! Thanks for theming it.

Edit: Perfect!!

Im running trigger 3.1. I remember it gave me a little bit of an attitude when i first tried to install it as well.

Are you trying to install it as a system app? because that could be why. I remember I wasnt able to do that, which is why i noted to install as a third party app from your sdcard. but if thats what youre doing, then i have no idea why it wouldnt work.

Ive uninstalled older version and downloaded this on to the sd card than tried to install as a 3rd party app and all it tells me is not installed

OK. No one else has reported the issue expect for you two, and youre both running Trigger 3.0, so I guess we can assume that it doesnt like the ROM...which is VERY odd. In fact i almost refuse to believe that, because realistically, any app that i can run as a third-party app, you should be able to as well.

unfortunately i dont have a solid answer.

only things i can think of is use root explorer, go to /system/app and just double check to make sure vvm-signed.apk (or something like that) isnt there. also go into something like titanium backup or system app remover, and make sure it doesnt show up. theres a small possibility that there was some data left behind, which you could wipe with titanium.

these are the only things i could think of

I don't know if it has anything to do with it but there is an updated version in the market. I can't install it on Trigger 3.2 Final.

yah that wouldnt have anything to do with it. This modded version is based on the VVM apk that came with Trigger 3.1.

if its working on my phone, theres no reason why it wouldnt work on anyone else's, regardless of the ROM...this would indicate that the people who are having trouble may not be getting clean uninstalls. It is a very odd issue, but all i can advise is make sure there are absolutely no traces of Visual Voicemail anywhere on your phone.

this.....also trying clearing cache/dalivk cache

@vibrant is it working on your phone? please say what ROM youre running, and installation steps you took.

Yes, I fixed permissions. On Trigger 3.2 Final, the Visual VM is vvm-signed.apk and is in the \system\app folder. I tried to rename it, then totally deleted it. Tried doing a normal install = fail, then a push to \system\app. Is there some other folder to try? Wi;; you be updating to the current APK? (assuming I can get it to work!)

 

[jwalk74]

how do I install as a third party app? Mine keeps saying it is a system app.
