I cant find vvm anywhere on cm6. or abbreviated dialing.
anyonw know where they are????
I'm pretty sure sprint's VVM won't work on the AOSP Rom's. To change your voicemail number, just go into menu>settings>call settings>voicemail settings, and change that number to your phone number. Then, when you hold the "1" in the dialer, or use a shortcut to voicemail, it should automatically dial your voicemail

Sprint VVM does work with CM 6 RC1 and Nightlies. Just do either the followings:
1) adb install sprintcore.apk
2) adb push sprintcore.apk to /system/app
Use the latest sprintcore.apk from the Sprint Sense 2.1 ROM then change your number per above instruction under setting menu.
To avoid the annoying text message every time you receive the voicemail:
-Install handcent sms and set it to retrieve sms automatically under its setting menu (use this as your default sms application)
-delete the aosp mms.apk from the system/app on your phone
that's how it work for me.
ok one more issue-
since i installed cm6-
everytime i get an email I get 2 task bar icons. One from google and one from the cm6 version of email.
With handcent installed, I get 2 txt notifications. One from handcent, and one from the android messaging.
this is highly annoying......

I did explained in my post how to get rid of the annoying message. Just delete the CM6's mms.apk on your phone under /system/app.
Or go to Android Messaging app and go to Settings > uncheck Notifications

Whenever I get a message using Handcent I also get a duplicate message in my stock msgr. How do I disable this? I have Handcent set as my default msngr.
have you tried going into stock app then
menu > settings > auto retrieve > off ?
might only apply to MMS tho and not regular SMS...if that doesn't work, dunno
On the stock msgr, you go into settings and turn off the notifications under settings, like sound, vibrate etc.
if you are rooted and wanna use handcent sms.. rather than the default then just use root explorer go to system/apps then delete the mms.apk

How can I get the native mms to stop popping up with handcent mms? I've tried disabling auto retrieve along with removing the mms.apk, but it still pops up.
Any idea on how to make sure the native mms doesn't popup when receiving a new message?
default messaging application > settings >In the notifications settings , uncheck the notification bar.

Be careful with that, you will most likely kill mms, unless one of the recent handcent updates has changed something.

I remember reading that deleting important apk's like that via root explorer can be dangerous. If you decide to delete it that way, make a nand backup first.

I've been using handcent for quite some time now. I simply go into the stock SMS application and turn absolutely everything off, including auto-retrieve, notification sounds, notification vibrate, etc.
My settings are backed up through Titanium Backup, so when I flash a new ROM, I just re-apply the backup of the settings. Works wonderfully for me.

Tried this, but then I can't get MMS (messages with photo attachments). Everything else works, but MMS stops working.
To begin with, I am only getting messages duplicated when they come through a gateway such as [email protected]. The ones that come direct from other people are usually fine and I get only 1. I've searched and searched for the answer for this and can't seem to find it.
Does handcent load super slow for you guys. Had to stop using because of that.

so i downloaded "Handcent" text messaging and it works fine... other then getting double notification i had a question:::::
since i get double notification it obviously means the Stock SMS still gets text messages from people i send messages to from handcent... do i get charged towards my texting plan on the stock sms? or not?.... if i am, would a solution be to rename the stock sms file with .old in the end of it so its gone? will i still get charged towards my plan?
Handcent uses the same SMS system app so there's no extra charge for texting via it.
To solve the double notification, just go open the default messaging app, hit menu -> settings -> uncheck Notifications.
Now you should only get notifications via Handcent.

Technically, yes. The stock sms program still gets the texts. But all it really is doing is accessing the same system SMS program as Handcent.
They're both just front ends for interacting with the SMS program.
You don't get charged "extra" for using Handcent versus the stock messaging app.
I've been using Handcent from day one and there's no extra charge and all my messages show up in both apps. I just never open the stock app.
Handcent doesn't bypass SMS charges by using data. It's just another app that does what the stock SMS app does, just a bit more prettily.
For free SMS you need Google Voice. But note you have to use the Google Voice phone number as inbound/outbound. Also, there's no api for sending messages through Google Voice so you can't use any frontend app besides Voice itself.

Ahhh, I see now. Yes, any texting from your phone's number is charged to your texting plan.
To use SMS through Google Voice, just give people your GV number and have them use that to text you. It will not be charged to your plan text bucket.
First install the GV app if you haven't...
Then, as the previous guy said, just have people text the GV number. For outbound texts you can either fire up the GV app and select "Compose" from the menu/respond to a text someone's already sent your GV, or go to Contacts and use "Send Message" for a contact (the first time you do this the app choice menu should pop up -- you can set GV as the default for future uses).
Make sure Google Voice isn't set to forward the text messages from your Google Voice number to your cell phone number or you will be charged for the text sent from Google Voice to your Cell number.

I have deleted the stock messaging app and installed Handcent. Whenever I receive a text message, I receive two notifications. The first is the stock messaging envelope icon, followed by the Handcent icon. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Go to the messenger menu and click on the notification and that should fix it

You need to reinstall the stock mms.apk, then go in and uncheck the notifications. Just leave the mms.apk alone, there isn't a reason to remove it, it's tied into other things with the phone

Do not block 9016 through Sprint, as you will stop receiving voicemails.
Handcent's blacklist didn't work for me to block 9016, but Go SMS Pro worked.
*some* newer ROMs give the stock messaging app the option to block 9016, like this one. Blocking it from within the stock messaging app, even if it's not the one you use for day to day use, should block it for any and all SMS applications.
jaybob got the code to block 9016 from kushdeck and evervolv, so I'm hopeful there's a way to simply patch the messaging app without requiring a new ROM. At the same time, we're getting swarmed with a lot of quality ROMs these days so people shouldn't' be afraid to try one (or more) out. Life is good for Hero owners. We are spoiled thanks to some great developers.

edit: not really sure how i got VVM working, it took several hrs, trying several different ways.
i went back to my stock 2.1 rooted rom, updated the VVM, & used TI backup to backup the VVM, & kinda followed the directions on the aospcmod repo page, method 2, & even used the TI VVM backup off that page, along with the stuff on cyanogens forum, & from www.thetechtemple.com

Thanks. I put Redlist on and didnt seem to do squat. But I didnt change these settings.
I had this same issue with both my hero and evo. I found a fix for it on another site:
"To fix this, go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable". Then go to your VVM application, hit menu, compose and enter your own number as the send to, hit record for 4 or 5 seconds, then hit send. The VVM app will then download any messages you had waiting."
