Problem installing Visual Voicemail on [ROM]Fission Vanilla 1.2

Can anyone help me? I have Fission Vanilla 1.2 and am loving up but one thing it didn't include was Verizon's Visual Voicemail app.
I've tried downloading the apk from http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/ but when I click on the apk after downloading it it says "Application not installed" so I tried the moving it to the system/app folder like it said to do in this thread
http://androidforums.com/all-things-...r-droid-x.html
but after rebooting the phone it doesn't show up.
Anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks

Another interesting find.
I found another file called VVMStub.apk and that installed but as soon as I run it a pop up says "You phone comes with built in visual voice mail features. For the best experience, please uninstall this version of the application." and my only option is to uninstall it.
So obviously this phone thinks it has VVM on it but I can't get to it.

not to be a smart*** at all but why not get a free Google Voice account and set it up to handle your voicemail. you dont have to give out the number and it will be your voicemail for your DROID. you can then visual voicemail on your phone or computer, download the voicemails as a MP3 if you want, never worry about how may you have or time they are kept, and the best part is its free (and it works on Fission 1.2)
just a thought.

iDroidNow I hadn't looked at Voice since it was first sent to me years ago as a beta test. I didn't realize you could just do it for a cell instead of getting the whole number thing going. Just set it up so thanks for the suggestion. Will also save me a few bucks a month on VZW's limited capability VVM. So thanks for the suggestion!
Still weired I couldn't get VVM to install though

I noticed there is a section in /system/build.prop that mentions VVM
I wonder if changing this to false will allow you to install VVM from the market

I tried this and it does get rid of that pop-up saying you already have VVM.

Please post all compatibility issues in the thread of the ROM that you installed in this case Fission 1.2 thread. With that said I am closing the thread.

No text messages

Okay, i'm rooted and have been Running MIUI for a few months without issue.. Last Friday i did a FULL WIPE (factory reset, cache and delvik) and upgraded to the newest 1.7.15 MIUI ROM -- everything worked fine.. except for my text messages.. I wasn't receiving any.. I could send them out fine.. i just dont get any.. so after i tried to do EVERYTHING to fix it.. nothing worked, and i decided, oh well I'll flash back to Sense until next release.. Well i flashed back to sense (Did a full wipe, then a nandroid restore) and my Text messages STILL do not work.. I have never used Google Voice, but i was told that could be the cause, so i opened it and turned it on.. and i was able to get text messages to my google voice box) I do not like google voice, nor do i want to use google voice.. So i then went from my PC and disabled google voice from within my PC's browser, and i then uninstalled it. Now i'm back to not being able to receive text messages...
Does anyone have ANY idea what so ever could be the cause of this? I am completely stumped. I thought 100% it was an issue with MIUI, but i cant even get them on my Sense ROM.. All of my calls and sent text messages work fine, but i receive no incoming text, nor notifications or anything that i'm getting any texts... Yet if i use google voice, i can get my text messages..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have also Updated my Profile and PRL
if i go into HTC Software Updates it says there is a 2.3 Gingerbread update 4.24.651.1 (6.07MB)
but i am on the rooted stock gingerbread version of that i believe, unless another update came out after the original June 4th gingerbread release, because ever since then i've been on MIUI anyway
EDIT:
I just attempted a Full factory reset, and i still cannot get any text messages
I am chatting with sprint and he told me to try these codes in the phone dialer
##DATA#
##72786#
and they used to work, but now it just freezes my phone dialer and nothing happens...
What the hell is going on? EVERYTHING ELSE works just fine except for receiving text messages

google voice
if you have sprint with Google Voice Enabled on every time you install Google voice it disables incoming text to your number, click on the gear on the right top corner on your Google voice account page - Click Voice Settings - Click Edit on your phone number - make sure this is checked.
Text Settings:
X - Receive text messages on this phone (mobile phones only)

Question #2 --
The sprint guy i'm talking to said he will waive the $100 insurance fee and ship me a new phone if i want.. If i agree to this, will the new phone ship with a 2.3 gingerbread version that is unable to be rooted?
Or have they finally rooted that also? Last i checked i heard people who accepted the OTA update lost their root and there was no way to get it back

I actually just got a refurb a couple of days ago, they seem to all be coming with new hboot. So no root yet.

Well i did re-download google voice, but i never enabled it or even ran it for that matter, and i have sense enabled it and used it.. then disabled it and i still do not get any texts

Not rooted yet but there are a few people working on it. A few days ago a leaked video from AlpharevX showed they unlocked the 3d and sensation, and according to them this method works for all current HTC bootloaders. So if you don't mind not having root for a while get one, if not then don't switch. Who knows how long before a root method actually gets out for the Evo with 2.3.3. Could be today or next month.

did you try what i mentioned above go to google.com/voice (on your computer) and make sure that option is on. This only happens when you Enable your sprint number with Google voice.

Yes i have been on google voice all morning, but when i click on the gear in the top corner now nothing happens, i cant get into settings ever since i disabled google voice, all that happens is a little blue bar appears on the same page.. are you suggesting that i re-download google voice, set it up again and then i'll be able to go back into the account settings? because so long as it's disabled i am unable to view any google voice setting page

That's weird... it might be your browser it should let you add a number even though you don't have any on there.

I found this thread in the google voice and my issue has apparently happened to this person also and he was not able to resolve it, and actually had to get a new phone.. Which is what i think I'M going to have to do, but i DONT want to do that because i hate SENSE, and i want to run MIUI... but there is no root for the new OTA 2.3 gingerbread, does anyone have ANY IDEAS? how can i completely disconnect google voice?

Panic Eye.. I have re-downloaded google voice, and i am using it now.. as it's the only way i can get text messages, after searching and searching i have found a plethora of people who are having my exact same issue.. and i have yet to find a single one who has found a fix for the problem.. all of them say that sprint just suggests new phones to them.. this is nuts.. it's obviously a google voice issue, but no matter how many times i disable google voice from my pc, or from my phone, it doens't fix it.. I've even done a full factory reset and didn't log into my gmail account.. which should definitely get rid of any google voice crap, but it doesn't .. so maybe it's a phone problem? i have no idea.. i'm completely stumped

Honestly I doubt it's your phone, it has something to do with sprint/google integration. I would try to convince a Sprint rep to deactivate and reactivate your phone, can't really think of anything else you could do besides attempting to re-enable Google Voice with the Google Voice app and try to access the settings on the browser again.

Bump -- Any help at all? Has no one else ever experienced this

not receiving sms
I believe I have the same problem. It's pretty frustrating.

How to Delete Google Voice its Giving me Problems

I wanted to try it out because I was curious but I dont like it and want the Sprint voice mail back. And because I now downloaded it I am not receiving my texts or mms messages. I tried to remove it through the market and through managing application but it wont let me delete the damn thing how do I get rid of this. I just flashed EVio 3 last night so I am wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache as well as a Factory reset then I am going to re flash it. I hope this works.

When you uninstall it, it will revert to stock settings for your texts and voicemail. If you cant delete it through the market, try going to settings-applications-manage and remove it from there. If that doesnt work, try clearing data and cache from the Market from the Manage Applications menu, then restart and try again.

I did that and I still can un install it and I am having people text me and I am not getting them.
EDIT: I went to google voice online and disabled the account and I can now get texts and mms but now I dont have any sort of voice mail option now the phone will just keep ringing and ringing and never go to voice mail. I called my voice mail and all i get is a busy dial tone so I cant set up my sprint voice mail anymore. I dont know what going on anymore. I even posted my problem on sprints forum, looks like this isnt only happening to me. I went in again to recovery and wiped both cache to see if will do something.

Goto menu, settings, call, and see if you have a voicemail service option. Select my carrier if it's there.

I tried that and selected my carrier but I still have the same issue when I call my voice mail its a busy dial tone not sure what else will fix this
EDIT: I CALLED SPRINT CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR ME

You can probably just call sprint. A simple reprovisioning of your voicemail can fix this.

If your voicemail is not picking up after unisntallung just call reckless support. Basically they have to remove voicemail and add it back on and it will start working again. I see this happen all the time.

Voicemail notification won't go away

I've had my MXPE for about a week now, and ever since I've activated it, I've had a constant voicemail notification that won't go away, and re-notifies me every couple hours. I'm on Sprint, and I've already contacted their customer support, they had me reprogram the phone, then do a factory reset and the notification was still there. So they told me to contact Motorola for support saying it must be a software issue, but Motorola said it wouldn't be software it would be with Sprint. I've waited a few days, but it's still there and I've missed important messages because I didn't know I was being left voicemail. Is there any fix for this, or should I just return the phone? I haven't seen anyone else complain about it, so I'm thinking it might just be my particular phone does have buggy software.
Edit: I've tried both leaving myself a message and clearing my phone app cache, that makes it go away for about an hour and then it comes right back.

Have you tried just deleting the 1 voice mail that is giving you problems? Maybe it is hung up in the system somehow.

I have no messages in my voicemail, and Sprint reset my services so I had to completely set the system up again.

That happened to me and it was a result I believe of Google Voice. I eventually had to sign up for visual voicemail through AT&T, log on, and the message was there. I had to delete it from visual voicemail and it deleted from my phone.

Was having the same issue too, on AT&T. I saw it right when I was transitioning from my backup S5 and then ignored it because it said it was coming from my Google Voice account. Kept getting stupid VM notifications for as long as I've had this phone and just came across this post. Never thought to check my AT&T voicemail, which is where their "welcome" voicemail was stored, no other messages, and deleted that sucker. Hopefully no more VM notifications pop up!

CM13 & Visual Voice Mail App?

So, now that I have CM13 working successfully (again), is there any way to get the Visual Voicemail app? ( com.motorola.visualvoicemail ) Play store won't let me download it, citing "incompatibility" (Suuuuuure it is....), and the only app download site I can find that seems to be reuputable (evozi) never has devices to fetch it or returns api errors. Is there any good way to get this app on my phone? Or am I out of luck?

Deleted wrong App I hate clixkbait

Good luck. I gave up...

I went through the same thing with PhoenixROM. Got the apk and loaded it, then restored Verizon SSO and still would get errors every time I tried to delete a voicemail. I took the advice of others and tried YouMail as a replacement for visual voicemail. I miss the VZW icon changing with the number of messages, but YouMail sends an email and a notification when I get a voicemail. I don't like it as much but it's free and I can now eliminate all Verizon software from my phone, so I'm happy. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but YouMail (and I'm sure there are others) is an acceptable substitute for me.
