Modify CSC

Hi, my provider (PRO) supports VolTE. They say on their website that, for the network to allow a VOLTE connection, it verifies the CSC to be PRO. When using their provided ROM, VolTE is activated. However, with Alexndr's ROM, the VolTE option does not appear.

I have already tried :

- manually activating VolTE using build.prop switches

- manually activating VolTE using settings.db

- manually modifying the CSC & PDA identifiers in build.prop

I was thinking that perhaps they updated the PRO csc. How can I update the PRO csc in alexndr's rom ? Or do you have any other idea?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
Hi,

According to OP - for "PRO" CSC this ROM doesn't provide VoLTE support. It is strange because I suppose that _alexndr took the CSC data from the latest PRO stcok ROM. Nevetheless, if your operator claims that VoLTE is supported then I would flash the latest available stock firmware for your country via odin, do factory reset and confirm with Phone Info app that you have proper CSC activated. Then try VoLTE.

If it works -> flash _alexndr devbase with default option: "keep current CSC".

If it doesn't work contact your operator asking for further support.

Edit:

I found something on Proximus webside. Assuming that the information is up-to-date it becomes interesting (look at the compatible phones list ;)):

Edit2:

It seems that Proximus hasn't updated its webside and s5 is compatible already -> I checked PRO CSC packages in _alexndr's ROM and in the latest stock PRO firmware and results are as follows:

1. _alexndr's ROM -> NO VoLTE support

2. stock Samsung latest from MAR 2017 (PDA: G900FXXU1CQB1 / CSC: G900FPRO1CQA1) -> VoLTE supported.

So just do what I recommended at the beginning and see ....

I have a problem installing Magisk:

I guess installing ROM zip as it is should give me Magisk Manager installed, but didn't work. So I flashed Magisk Bundle 14.5 separately and still doesn't work. TWRP doesn't give me any errors.

I flashed latest Stock ROM in Binary form (BL,AP,CP,CSC files) so I have latest bootloader and what so ever. Flashed TWRP 3.2.1.0 and then Alexandr ROM. First without options.prop in folder, then with it in folder as stock set to Magisk, then I flashed DevBase 1.11 zip and last Magisk Bundle 14.5.

None of this steps gave me Magisk Manager, but I have debloated ROM (except from Samsung GO from PHN CSC leftover). So what am I missing?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
Magisk Manager is not contained in the ROM. It needs to be installed separately as an app. You can find it in the main Magisk thread.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MysteryIII:
Thanks, sometimes you are missing the obvious. So just to make sure: thanks to the moved system partition to "devbase" I can freely edit this System partition without triggering SafetyNet?
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MysteryIII:
Now I have another problem: I can't install any Magisk Modules. Log says

This goes for all modules I try to install except Universal Safetynet fix there it says:

With Magisk v14.5 I had some issues too.

Now I'm back on v14.3 which works fine on my device.

Well, I don't have Xposed installed at all. Beside I used Magisk 14.5 on Skies ROM without any problems together with Xposed. Which means the problem must be somewhere else. Maybe it's a conflict with the moved System partition? But if so there should be more people having issues.

However I will try this fix this evening. If it's working it means Magisk must be installed before system partition get moved to devbase?!

Beside: I made a clean install of this ROM after I was told just to install MagiskManager manually. So can't be a conflict with flashing different files. Even reinstalling Magisk (option in Magisk Manger) didn't solve it.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MysteryIII:
I can now confirm there is a conflict between Magisk 14.5 and Alexandr ROM even in Noroot option, so it has nothing to do with moved system partition or Xposed!

Things I tested with ROM noroot option:

flashing Magisk 14.5 after first boot: not possible to install any mods. Error log like described.

flashing Magisk 14.3: no problems

flashing Magisk 14.5 over working 14.3: same problem as directly flashing 14.5

flashing Magisk 14.3 over 14.5: bootloop

As I already mentioned a few time: there is no issue with SkiesROM. So the question is: is SkiesROM so much modded that it acts closer to other devices ROMs or is there a special situation in Alexandr ROM even with Noroot option (so no Devbase) that causes the bug?

Or in other words: is this ROM modification causing bugs with newer Magisk version or did newer Magisk loose compatibility to Stock S5 ROM?

Hi,

It works well on my phone. Just installed the module from Magisk Manager. Opened app and it didn't crash but I noticed no difference then I just rebooted the phone and it worked.

By the way you forced me to install my first Magisk module :p ;)

Edit: not to forget important thing - it works for me only when I change Settings>FX compatible mod from "normal" to "compatible".
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] _alexndr:
CSC updates usually brings nothing bot there are some exceptions (like introducing VoLTE). I just missed this in case of latest PRO update.

PRO CSC update has been added to my TODO list in next release :cool:

Unfortunately, it will not work. According to #1 "Keep current csc" works as follow:

So... if my installer detects that current CSC is contained in my DevBase - then it applies it from the ZIP (even if it is outdated) :(

The best "quick idea" is to repack my ZIP with replaced (I mean updated) customer.xml and others.xml files in ALEXNDR/csc/system/csc/PRO/system/csc/ directory using files from the latest PRO firmware.... then just re-flash the ZIP

It would be very strange as I'm using original, pure stock system.img - just slightly debloated (mounted once stock image -> removed bloatware available in Play Store -> unmounted -> put in DevBase ROM). More probable that "SkiesROM" is more different than the stock in Magisk's 14.5 favor (maybe it has more modified kernel or so... I have no time to analyze other ROMs)
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] fubo73:
SkiesROM is deeply modified (it has A7 2017 apps), perhaps Magisk is more compatible with latest TouchWiz rather than old one available with stock S5 ROM. I think it's not your matter to ensure compatibility with your ROM (as it is stock). Rather, it should be check if some Touchwiz similar to S5 have same issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] alexbelgium:
Thanks for looking into that! I see that you really put some effort in it to help me.

What is actually interesting is that I don't need a factory reset to restore VolTE: simply wiping cache + flashing the default firmware restores VolTE functions. However, as Alexndr mentionned, flashing the devbase with the default setting (KCSC) still removes the VolTE function. I'll try injecting the updated CSC as he proposed in the current devbase, and see whether it is only dependent on the correct CSC being used (from my understanding it is also an option that is network enabled, although I do not know what element the provider uses to identify my phone). I'll let you know if it works!

Thanks again to you both!

If you are going to flash as well latest ROM Base then - yes (as advised by _alexndr). Samsung by intent released them to work together as one firmware package.

Maybe it's better to provide more details - e.g. screenshot of Firmware tab in Phone INFO app.

Then we can give better advises how to flash CQI6 ROM.

BTW ... you can flash the ROM with "noroot" option and flash Magisk (or SuperSU) zip later.

Yes thank you I figured it out myself :) I did the "noroot" option and flashed Magisk and Systemless_DevBase v1.1.

Magisk updated to 15.0 and my modules are not working now. Any ideas ??
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] toorzilla_:
FYI: this works fine. (CQI6_noroot + SystemLess DevBase v1.11 + Magisk v14.3 + Xposed 87.3 by topjohnwu)

Now, this morning Magisk proposed update of its Manager (witch seems OK), then upgrade from v14.3 to v15.0. I just tried, upgrade went fine but reboot ends up in a boot-loop. So, beware from upgrading to v15.0 if you start from that setup unless you have time to debug, witch I don't have right now.

[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] It_ler:
On my SM-G900F systemless Xposed framework v89.0 by topjohnwu also works fine.

Magisk > v14.3 seems to lead to issues/bootloops on our "old" Samsung/touchwiz devices.

Hi,

I have also magisk 14.2 and just installed the module to check it for you. Unfortunately can't reproduce your issue as the module works well for me and appsystemizer doesn't disappear after reboot.

However, (I checked it also already) the launcher from your link works well when you install it as normal user app.

But if you insist to have it as system app it is easy to do by putting the app into the folder with the same name at /system/app location, set proper permissions and reboot.

Edit: By the way, in my opinion stock MM launcher is better than the ported one ;)

A question for all testing newest Magisk (v15.0):

Is Magisk hiding working for you? Everytime I open Magisk Manager, Magisk Hiding is deactivated in settings. I don't know if it's only a cosmetic/GUI issue or it is really deactivated every time because log doesn't tell anything about issues or deactivating Magisk Hide.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Many40:
I am not on 15.0 currently but when I tested it shortly yesterday I was able for sure to toggle Magisk Hide option so it was active for me. However I didn't test if it really worked well or not.

Thanks for the response, but activating was not the issue but staying active. Every time I closed Magisk Manager and opened it again, Magisk Hide was deactivated in settings and Tab missing because of it. Will test now new 15.1 update.

€: For 15.1 I needed to uninstall 15.0 first. While everything seems to work at the first look, SafetyNet won't pass even without any modules/Xposed.

By the way where can I download 14.2?

Hi,

1. For me appsystemizer didn't disappear - I also rebooted two times;

2. Put the app with any file manager (I used root explorer) into a folder which you need to create first in /system/app. The folder has to have the same name as your app. Set permissions to the folder: rwxr-xr-x and to the app: rw-r--r-- and reboot.

I have a backup of all files in my Private folder, so it's no critical ... but I can not use Private mode at all ATM.

"Failed to turn on Private mode. Try again." :(

Same happened to me long time ago (> 1 year @ Note4).. As far as I remember - in my case it was just Xposed installation, previously private mode worked fine, after trying to enable it with Xposed -> "Failed to turn on Private mode. Try again."

Fortunately private mode works again after restoring my last backup, flashing Magisk v14.3 and Xposed 87.3.

Strange that just restoring the system backup without this Magisk and Xposed combination was not successful.

Maybe it was just an issue with (ART) cache needing a little bit more time to be rebuild.
[Galaxy S 5 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MysteryIII:
Is Xposed 89 compatible with MM TouchWiz? Thread says there will be no update for our device and changelog hasn't seen an update for some while.

Would be great if you could upload it.

I didn't have any issues with private mode just tested it with Xposed 87.3+Magisk 15.1, but as I said I needed to uninstall 15.0 to get it working. Well, Caches will be cleared when doing this but I would also guess that somewhere in the data partition the issue for Privacy mode is saved and you need to clear this data not just the cache. Restoring a backup would overwrite this data (where ever it is).

For now I use Xposed Module "No Device check" it's still working so you can pass ctsProfile at least. I only needed once to pass SafetyNet, but even though it's good to have a Version you can pass it again if necessary. The whole idea of using Magisk is passing SN as far as I would say. Otherwise you could just stick to good old standard SuperSU that works rock solid and just edit the system partition to your likings, which makes stuff easier and doesn't need any additional resources. Just my two cents.

How did you get Magisk v15.1 and Xposed v87.3 running together? Have you installed in recovery or Magisk manager?

- I learned that the yellow message: SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL is nothing to bother due to a changed kernel

- Phone now boots up to: optimizing apps (or sth like that, "Apps werden optimiert" is it in german ;)). 268 apps are optimized and......

First boot takes very long time.

In your case, it seems to be a bootloop.

You can try to flash the ROM zip file again in recovery, power of the phone, then flash the bootloader in Odin.

Power off the phone. And then turn on the phone for booting into system.
