Verizon apps for Razr M on CM

I love my RAZR M on custom roms like AOKP, CM and others. I have an issue though. I like to use the My Verizon app to view my data usage and the Verizon tones app to change my Ringback. Does anyone know how to get these apps to work on a custom rom or what I would need? I reverted back to custom right now as I am waiting to figure this out before I go back to CM. Thanks.

I am also wondering where to get the Verizon Visual Voicemail app for my RAZR M.

Most of them should be in the play store. VVM might even be in there. If not, maybe look for the Nexus edition of VVM...

Yes. Many are available in the play store. My issue is that I can't download them because it says that they are not available for my carrier or country. Plus some apps ok can download give me sign in errors. Thank you for your reply.

For the sign-in error, you need to download the authentication app (I forget the actual name...)
Not sure about the other ones though. Which ones say they aren't available?

It won't let me install the Verizon vvm. I backed up the apk file but it just says not installed.

you should try my data manager, I have found it works better then the Verizon app for monitoring data usage.

Thanks. I'll try it. But I still need the voicemail and I like the my Verizon app for more than just days monitoring.

FWIW, I use Google Voice for VVM. also, the "My Verizon" app works fine for me (PACman), and I got the widget to appear with my data usage.

Verizon has most of their apps available off the Play store. I don't use Verizon, so I can't give much advice on how well they work.

Debloating VZW (rooted stock)

Now that root is achieved, many will freeze or remove stock VZW apps. Are there any resources on which apps are safe to freeze? This may have been asked elsewhere, but this is likely to be a recurring question and a thread in Q&A could be useful. Any information would be appreciated.

My problem is that I do not seem to have any options to uninstall. With the KK Launcher I did have an uninstall option but it would say uninstall unsuccessful.

That is interesting information, but I don't believe that article specifies what is safe to remove (just what the consider removing). Also, the ATT framework may not behave exactly as the VZW might, which is my specific question.
Edit: consider using titanium backup and freeze as an alternative to uninstalling entirely. Should give you the option to restore if needed.

Now onto game of thrones!

Just use boot browesr or something similar and go to /system/app and rename the bloat. Change myverizon.apk to myverizon.bak for example. That way it it cause issues you can just change it back.

I recommend using titanium backup pro so you could backup the apps in case you ever need to restore then or run into an issue

I am also trying to figure out what is SAFE to remove versus what should be removed. The sticky has a short running list.

Thanks so much! My phone suddenly either had an espresso shot or decided to become a triathlete!

Root and know

One more question.
I've rooted and disabled know, but I keep getting this message. What's this about?
Also, I get FCs on a lot of apps either after backing out, or after using them a while. I'm completely stock aside from root and adaway

In Titanium Backup look for something that says Verizon and shows that Shield. Select and uninstall. Believe mine was called that, but I don't know why yours wouldn't be the same. You can also in the interim go into your apps on your phone and find that Icon and long hold, App Info, and Turn Off until you find the App to force Uninstall on TiBu

Milk music

I cannot login to the music app. I have uninstalled and prose and some of the Samsung Apps. What all do I need to get this working again?

Will Samsung allow customers to uninstall bloatware?

To me, that would be a killer feature!

No. You need to be rooted.

Did you get a chance to play with one of these @ BB? I didn't see a lot of bloat or really any honestly. Samsung Retail mode though, no idea what carriers will force.

Correct if you want to uninstall them, but you can "disable" bloat from the applications section in the settings to free up memory and to cut down on unnecessary processes without needing root.

I'm not sure how the US carriers will handle this issue, but all of my carrier-specific apps were uninstallable on my Korean Note 4. Samsung and Google services have been hit-or-miss. But then again, there was specific legislation passed here on this very subject last year.

What do you mean by "bloatware"? Like health app?

Is there a way to delete the AT&T apps without rooting ?

Like that stupid flip board app.

Sprint has been pretty good about being able to straight uninstall all those useless programs they load once you activate. The rest has to be root uninstalled to remove. I've been using Samsung devices for awhile and most have to be rooted to remove their extra features.

Can't you just disable them? They'll still take up space but they won't run.

uninstalling some of the applications, especially from google or samsung could break other things seemingly unrelated, so much better way is to freeze them, but you need root. greenify has some option to stop apps from starting on boot up, not 100% sure, but I think it works even without root.

greenify is limited without root, but it is a start.

Does anyone know when the ATT note 3 was able to root?
