[AT&T HTC One (M8)] goosefraba91:
Yeah I've uninstalled the apps with titanium backup and tried the process multiple times on my ATT variant running Viper ROM to no avail.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JTok59:
I had the same issue. What I had to do was change the SKU to 7 and the Region to 1 in the ACC\default.xml file. This also enabled the VVM button in the phone app.

However, I now have a problem with retrieving voicemails when connected to a wireless network. If I turn off wireless, everything will work fine. When on wireless, it gives an error about mobile data not being available, but it is most definitely on. It's like the messages/vvm apps aren't being allowed to bypass the wifi to check for data.

In case it matters, I am on a stock international ROM (1.54.401.5), and I also could not get the phone.apk to install using the directions above, so I installed the applications using a flashable zip.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
This works 100% on the Android Revolution HD Rom for the ATT variant. The ARHD ROM is the stock rom modified by mike1986. I'm not sure how the Viper ROM was developed ie from stock ROM or from KitKat baseline ROM.

Unless your married to Viper I would highly recommend checking out the ARHD ROM, you won't be disappointed. It's an incredible ROM.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] artkrime:
Can confirm this works perfect on ARHD ROM by mike1986! Thanks!!! :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ckombo:
Is this the version of the VVM that integrates into the HTC messaging app?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] artkrime:
If you mean not using the standalone google play store visual voicemail then yes.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
Yes, this is the app that integrates into your native Messages.apk (scroll left to view voicemails, scroll right to view all messages {VM, SMS, MMS}, and right again to view just SMS/MMS).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] artkrime:
Interesting... just tried leaving a voicemail off wifi and voicemail notification went through. Turned on wifi and left a new voicemail and got no voicemail notification. Turned off wifi and refreshed voicemails and new voicemail notification showed up.

So, voicemail works with wifi off. When wifi is on, the voicemail app says there is no data and that it doesnt work over wifi.

On a positive note, transcribe to text works great!

I don't think it should be too hard to fix but then again, I am not a developer.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
I have confirmed that everybody on AT&T, tmobile and sprint regardless of your phone type cannot download visual voicemails while on a wifi connection this problem is acknowledged and stated by AT&T, they even add the disclaimer alongside their visual voicemail stand alone app. Iphone users everywhere complain about this as well. Honestly, I never noticed the issue before, but of course who would ever really engage in extensive voicemail testing. Perhaps one day the carriers will solve this issue; although personally I believe it's an intentional move by the carriers to force their customers off WiFi and on to the carriers' very expensive data network. I mean we're talking about tens of millions of dollars per year in data charges just from users downloading voicemails over cellular data on a daily basis. No one in leadership at the major carriers would ever let that revenue slip away, not unless they had to address the issue to resolve competitive threats.

So in conclusion your visual voicemail is functioning perfectly as it should.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JTok59:
I believe this is incorrect. I never had these problems on the stock AT&T Rom. I will reflash and verify, but I am almost 100% certain it worked without issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
Let us know what you find out, but all the research I did would suggest otherwise. ATT's standalone application for visual voicemail even has the disclaimer in the app store that says it won't work on WiFi. If it works for you please post a copy of your default.xml file \system\customize\ACC\

Thanks.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JTok59:
It did work over WiFi on the stock AT&T ROM using the built-in HTC VVM app. The app appears to be able to use the cellular data connection just like the messages app does to receive sms even when on WiFi.

I have attached the stock AT&T ACC\default.xml, but I doubt that's where the solution lies. I have tried flashing in the APKs listed above, plus the ATT AAinfo.txt, the default.xml files from ACC, CID, and MNS. I also flashed in the market.xml from the permissions folder as well as the nfcee file from the etc folder. The wireless problem still persists for me even with all of those just thrown into the ROM.

Unfortunately, that is as far as I've been able to get with this project. If anyone else has an idea, I'm willing to give it a shot.

Thanks,

JTok
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
I'll try to wrap my head around this problem initially I did a comparison between the default XML file and the custom ROM default XML file. The variance in the file comparison was nominal, nothing that would affect voicemail download over wifi. I'm going to use the Android development kit to run debug while I launch the visual voicemail app on a wifi connection and monitor the logs for any potential errors. Still if there are any Android developers out there who might know what the problem is it would be great if you could share it with us
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jcross1324:
Has anyone implemented this in ViperRom? I would love to get this working but really don't want to be the Guinea pig lol:D
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
They say in their thread its working@vvm not sure if integrated or not,probably not
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jcross1324:
Sadly its not the integrated one, its the stand alone one.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] GSLEON3:
Why don't you show Jan how it's done? :p
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I sent them the files,what they do with them is another story....lol
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lessthanzach:
I can't seem to get the apps to install. Every time I tap on the icon after extracting them, it tells me "App Not Installed". I did however copy the apps to /system/priv-app and change the permissions to rw-r-r. Upon rebooting, there is some progress. I can now click the voicemail button in the upper-right corner of the phone app and it attempts to open voicemail - before it would do nothing. However, it immediately force closes. Same goes for trying to access voicemail through messages app. Also, this may be the reason for not being able to "install" the apks, I can't see where to "mount system folder with read/write permissions." I don't have any such option in es explorer or root browser. I can however change the properties of the folder and edit the permissions to rwx-rwx-rwx which I tried and still was not able to install the apps. Any hints for me?

EDIT: I somehow got it working. After moving the apps to priv-app and fixing perms, I rebooted, navigated to /system/app and found htc.vvm or similar and clicked on it, it actually installed. As soon as I did that, my visual voicemail would work without force closing.

Another development maybe someone else can test: Under /system/customize/ACC/default.xml I found a string called : enable_voicemail that was set to false. I changed it to "true" and my voicemails are downloading over Wi-Fi without error. This could be a fluke so I'd like it if someone would test and report here. Thanks for this thread, OP, I REALLY need my voicemail to work correctly during my job hunt.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JTok59:
That's peculiar, the stock AT&T default.xml appears to have that set to false. However, I will attempt to confirm this solution and get back to everyone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
I tried this, but I'm still not able to download voicemails on a Wifi Connection. I receive the standard error message.

If you install the Android Revolution HD 5.5 ROM you will not be able to reinstall Visual Voicemail (I tried for a few hours). mike1986 make some pretty heavy modifications on the 5.5 ROM which make it impossible to enable Visual Voicemail. Stick with the ARHD 5.0 ROM. He offers the Harmon Kardon firmware/software flash package and you can sideload some of the other enhancements. The Sense 6.1 Toolbox can be downloaded through the Xposed App.

If anyone is running the 5.5 ROM with native visual voicemail enabled please let us know how you achieved this.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JTok59:
I just finished trying it, and changing the line in ACC/default.xml did not make a difference for me.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] krazyace35:
I'm using the standalone at&t vvm app and it works with wifi I didn't have to change anything to default.xml
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] is350:
I can't get this to work. I followed all the directions. Only the Visual Voicemail app had the option to integrate into ROM. I'm on ARHD 7.0.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Skizzy034:
Why not just replace them using 7zip before you flash the rom if your planning on doing a clean flash? It's a lot easier than those 3 programs/methods. It's just drag and drop.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
Have you successfully done this?

What version of the Android Revolution HD Rom did you use? The latest version 7?

Did you slip-mod the apks using 7zip on a Windows Machine or a Linux Machine?

Thanks! I want to update the ARHD v7 ROM but I want to be sure I can get visual voicemail working on that ROM.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lstubble44:
Failed

I tried this and it broke messaging and my dialer. Tried restoring the ROM and your instructions above 4 times. Same results each time.

HTC One M8 with Viper One ROM (latest version as of 6/13/14). It also makes it so when my phone rings, the dialer doesn't come up; no way to answer an incoming call.

Any ideas?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
So far I've only been able to re-install visual voicemail using the Android Revolution HD v5.0 ROM. I tried the v5.5 ROM a while back and had the same issues you mentioned with crashing. I'm downloading the v7 ROM now and will try again.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Skizzy034:
No but it's the same as if using the method he says in the OP, just easier.

On Windows. Just open the rom you're gonna flash in 7zip, and just drag the apks to either /system/app or /system/priv-app.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jfvick:
Anyone had any luck? I'm on ARHD 8.0, placed the apks in /system/priv-app then flashed the tweaked ROM. I have the updated Messages app (both SMS and Voicemail) but when I scroll over to Voice Mail or try to open the Visual Voicemail app it force closes Messages. I've tried dirty flashing over my previous ARHD 8.0 install and doing a clean install and I get the same problem both times.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
This only works on the ARHD v5 ROM. You can use 7 zip to extract files from the v8 ROM like SuperSu, Xposed, Sense 6 v 1.2.7, flash player etc and place them in the corresponding location within the v5 ROM zip. Additionally place the visual voicemail and corresponding apks in the appropriate folders. When you install it will install everything including visual voicemail. Then download the Harmon Kardon zip and flash that in recovery to update your audio processor firmware and driver.

What would be nice is if Mike1986 released a v8 ATT specific ROM so all us on ATT could continue to enjoy native visual voicemail.

I would donate to support that! A small job for Mike but he could raise money for it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JTok59:
If you guys look at the top section of the quoted post from earlier on this thread, you'll see how to get it to work on Developer and International. You still have to install the AT&T versions of the apps of course, but I can confirm that this worked for me. Still had the wireless issue though.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jfvick:
Can confirm this worked for me as well now. Thanks for the heads up, saw the wireless issue but missed the force close fix. For me the wireless issue isn't huge.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] OGhoul:
I attempted the methods above (I'm on ARHD 8.1) and it did not work. When I went to install Phone.apk it told me that the app isn't installed. Also, I'm not S-Off. Firewater said I'd never be able to get it. :(

So I restarted, and used Ti Backup to set all of the apps to user level. Restarted. Reinstalled the new apks. Restarted. Used Ti Backup to set them all to System apps. Restarted.

Now I'm being hit with a barrage of "Unfortunately, Dialer has stopped working" messages, the phone icon is missing from my dock, and the only thing I can do with my phone is hit the Ok on the error message.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Bsmith0731:
I'm looking to do this also. I'm afraid of this happening, hoping for a better method.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jfvick:
I wasn't S-off either. I ran into the same problems with trying to install them directly on the phone (dialer force closing). To me the quickest and simplest way to get it to work was to open the rom in 7Zip or WinRAR, delete the 4 apks you're replacing (phone, contacts, dialer, and messages) and add the 5 htc apks (phone, contacts, dialer, messages, and VVM). Then move the rom onto you phone, install, and use ES File Explorer to change the SKU to 7 and the Region to 1 in the ACC\default.xml file (otherwise VVM force closes). I keep a copy of the apks on my computer now so I can quickly do this to any rom I'm about to flash. Worked for me on ARHD 8.0 and 8.1.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] OGhoul:
That sounds pretty solid, if new ground for me. At what point do you use ESFE to change the SKU and region?and does this affect anything else? Also, do you use a custom or stock kernel?

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] goodtimes50:
Has anyone tried this successfully on Viper 1.8?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jfvick:
Looks like OP has updated the install instructions, just follow those. Changing SKU and region shouldn't affect anything from my experience. For me this worked on both stock and ElementalX kernel - I wouldn't think kernel would affect this either.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] OGhoul:
Followed the instructions to the letter. Flashing now. (I also S-Offed while I was waiting on 7zip and N++ to download and install.)

Edit: It worked flawlessly. THANK YOU!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Bsmith0731:
I can confirm this worked for me also.

However I am stuck with the AT&T sign in the status bar and also the data signal never goes away like it does in the international version. Just FYI
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] OGhoul:
Any idea if this will work with the latest ARHD, 10.1? It's 4.4.3, which means ElementX cannot be used.

Edit: It does work, and ElementX is now available for 4.4.3 Sense.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Thats because of carrier specific customizations.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Lancaster84:

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] shadowsports:
Works? Doesn't Work Any More

I think by now many of us are using 2.22.x... FW. Does anyone have recent experience with this? Half say it works, half say it doesn't. This is the only feature I'm missing on my device now. Currently ARHD 11.1. I dealt with the no VVM over Wi-Fi issue previously. I can deal with it again, if I can get it to work with ARHD 11.1. I don't want to be stock, but am tired of flashing and setup. Truth is I love to play, but work and family don't allow it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Theres a debloated 2.23.502.3 build that has all att functions working,some of the euro roms are not getting correct network speeds on att devices,vvm integrated into the dialer and messaging has been changed @ files...so ask your rom maker if he has plans to integrate it into his rom with the correct files,these are old files that do not work on newer bases as htc combined files together.VVM as I read on att support site and on playstore, does not work on wifi unfortunately.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DJBhardwaj:
Can anyone please share the listed apks?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mycologist:
I'm on arhd 11.1 with 2.22.401.5 fw and it works fine. I just set up a folder I can drag into the rom zip when I open it up in 7zip that overwrites the files in the rom with the stock ones.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
These are not the correct files for att vvm to work...Listed below are the correct apk files/names needed for dialer/message to be used....there are other config files as well but this should give you your vvm in dialer and messaging.

ATT_VVM3.apk (required) Unchanged.

HtcContacts.apk (might not be required) Changed to HtcContactsDialer.apk.

HtcDialer.apk (might not be required) Changed to HtcContactsDialer.apk.

Message.apk (might not be required) Unchanged.

Phone.apk (might not be required) Unchanged.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] aiwapro:
I tried the "If you want to keep it simple" option and Titanium Backup Pro got stuck on PROCESSING, when I selected to change it to a System app. I rebooted after a while, and now the option in Titanium Backup says to Change to User App., so maybe it worked. However, I can't find Visual Voicemail anywhere. Note that I only installed the VVM app., not the other APKs.

Icon is just a black box in the dialer app

I do have visual voicemail working, but the spot were the icon should be in the dialer is just a black box.

I am running ARHD 22.2 on the AT&T version of the M8. I did notice that I couldn't find this section in the ARHD zip file.

\additions\carriers\att\system\custo mize\ACC\

Could that be why it is missing?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TrickMasterPC:
You see that black box because your firmware version is too new, you need to use firmware 3.28.401.9 and you won't see that black box.

1) Update firmware

2) Reflash ROM

This procedure only works for android v4. Things have changed so dramatically on v5. I've decrypted the v5 ATT rom, extracted the VVM files, dropped them into the ARHD 40.1 ROM, but still I can't get VVM to work. The stock ATT v5 Rom doesn't have Messages.apk, Phone.apk etc. I'm missing something, but will figure it out eventually.
[Xperia Z2 General] bobbarker2:
I'm thinking about getting this phone but one of the major concerns I have is how visible the screen is when using the phone outdoors and the sun is out. I saw a review that said the phone was unusable outdoors because it doesn't get very bright but I want to hear from actual owners.
[Xperia Z2 General] feis:
Phone is more than bright enough for me, problem is that its quite reflective. Im coming from one x, so only can compare to it, and its better than one x.

It's clearly not perfect in direct sunlight; you have to make an effort to read the screen.

Despite this particular situation, the screen is perfectly usable outdoor.

Yup it's the worst thing about the device it can be totally unusable in the sun I have just bagged a smartwatch 2 with a metal strap for £50 so that will be used as well as the z2

This is probably the only thing I dislike about the z2, so I'd love to be able to turn off the LED when charging. To be honest the red isn't so bad, it's the blasted green that turns on when the battery is full.

I emailed Andrew Moore, the developer of the Light Flow app, and he replied:

I also found something that suggested the Xposed framework included the ability to disable the LED charge indicator.

So at this point we have two options:

1) Wait for Sony to see the light (geddit?) and add the ability to disable the charge LED in a future firmware update (Samsung has this on the Galaxy s5, I noticed)

2) Root, and see if there's some way to disable the LED.

I'm waiting to see what happens with TA backups before I decide to root, so if someone is braver than me and figures things out I'd love to hear about it!
