Is it possible to implement these csc features into update.zip that can be installed as regular update through stock recovery? i downloaded Update.zip from sam science, changed files inside of system folder, but i didn't decode/encode it (as i don't know how to do it), therefore it gives error while trying to update from SD Card. i think if we could make decoded csc with all the features and replace original one in Update.zip, it will work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Are you rooted?

If so installation is super simple...an update zip is overkill imo.

that is the issue, i'm on stock rom without root, and trying to find out the way to get all that features working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Don't think it will be possible...system will reject it even if you can push it over.

I think your best alternative other than root would be to install the Unlocked device firmware.

Hey guys I was taking a look at my dads un-rooted s8+ earlier. He had recently updated it to Oreo and he is on Verizon. I was looking at some of the differences and I noticed with Oreo on Verizon he has the VZW dual settings menu and it has the auto reset added in the device maintenance section in the 3 dots in the upper corner, also the spam call blocking, Samsung cloud, and the device maintenance widget was also added as well. So everything we have been enabling with our cscfeatures, the s8+ VZW cscfeatures has been given with the Oreo update. I guess Samsung and Verizon got too many complaints about it missing for Verizon users
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] anthonykash:
That's good to know, ridiculous they blocked those features in 7.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] TonkaToy87:
I think it was more of a f-up on Samsung's end and they just didn't want to admit it. Cause when I first got my note 8 I talk to a bunch Samsung's people, Verizon's people, sales reps. And and no one knew why Verizon's settings menu would remove the device maintenance widget, OR the auto reset. And with messing around with the csc files I've looks thru so many other xml files in my root explorer and no where in there does it say that those features are blocked, skipped, or deleted. There really is no explanation as to why they disappear just by changing the OpMenuStructure from TMB to VZW.

Like how the heck does a menu structure change remove a widget? That still baffles my mind
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] TonkaToy87:
Can I get someone that is rooted to send me the VZW enforceskippingpackages.xml file? Please! I got a new 500gig sd card and I lost my backup file when I was transferring files back and forth. I was changing some csc stuff and I somehow accidentally managed to keep the call recording, smart blocking, auto reset, and managed to enable the Verizon's "dual settings" menu, the standard view and the simplified view options while maintaining full access to the device maintanence features including the widget as well as the above features. But at the same time enabled a package that shut off my data. So it looks like there is hope in being able to enable all those feature I just need a little more time and the enforceskippingpackages.xml and once I have it figured out I'll be sharing what to do in this thread. The xml file is located here in the root explorer app SYSTEM/OMC/VZW/ETC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] anthonykash:
Hold on I got you brotha.

Here ya go, let us know your findings.

Found this thread a couple weeks ago, modified the t-mobile instances in the cscfeatures.xml to vzw. Everything worked fine except now my visual voicemail is totally screwed up. Get funky text messages for voicemail notifications and voicemail won't connect to my account to setup again. I have googled this extensively and it has been a widespread problem for years, especially, on unlocked phones. If clearing data from voicemail doesn't work, you seem to be SOL. Verizon escalated mine to network engineers who said they found and "fixed" a corrupted file, but, didn't work so now they want me to factory reset before they will investigate further. I have noticed two folders in /system/priv-app: TMOVVM which contained TMOVVM.apk, but, I deleted the app hoping that would fix my problem. The other is TmoWfcPref which contains apk of same name. I have renamed the folders without any noticeable problems. Anyone know if I should have VZW versions instead? If so, can anyone provide those to me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
If you search this thread, somewhere in the middle [MENTION=2199840]bagery77[/MENTION] posted a vzw csc and i don't recall hearing any issues with VVM....

Also the 2nd file you mentioned you deleted is used for wifi-calling....

Hopefully using bagery's csc your issues will be fixed....

If need be later today i can post those files you deleted (if necessary).

Good luck

I saw his post previously, but, was after I installed the T-Mobile csc file and had already modified mine. I didn't remember any issues mentioned with vvm either. Maybe timing was just coincidental. Wasn't sure why the TMO folders and files I mentioned would be on a VZW branded phone. Wondering if they downloaded after I implemented the TMO version of the csc file before modified to VZW and causing conflict. Wifi calling is working, so, didn't know whether to obtain and replace the tmovvm.apk or if they need to be replaced with VZW versions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] casey225:
Hey Lou, since we haven't heard from the vzw members, would you mind to post the tmovvm.apk when you get a chance. Still not sure why it was on my phone, but, just in case it needs be present for some reason, I would be more comfortable putting it back for the time being. I renamed the tmowfc.apk, didn't delete that one. Thanks in advance and thank you again for this thread!!!

I'm on Verizon and been using Baggery's modified csc file since Lou created it and Baggery modified it for Verizon and I've had zero issues. Everything works that's supposed to work as well as everything Verizon disabled. It's also incorporated to some degree, if not all, on the twtzd mods by javix and the Chimera rom by javix and blue fox. Any specific Verizon question feel free to ask in the thread or PM me or Baggery.

Thanks again for Lou for providing this and Baggery for moding it for Verizon. This file alone actually makes the phone worth the grand it costs.

Any method for changing the genuine liveliness not simply the sound?

Thank you for your thanks!

Not sure what you mean by the "liveliness"...more info please.

Also there is a Dual Speaker Mod that works for our snapdragon (dual mono, not stereo) ....i believe i left a link to the page on the OP.

If you can't find it let me know...

Oh yeah, and you could also just use the built in Caller-ID that t-mobile (and other carriers) lock out... works great imo

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's not because of the apollon guy on the root thread. If it makes you feel better, I didn't like his passive aggressive bs either.

I snagged this too when it went up. I believe I successfully got everything (hopefully) working by using QuickEdit app to change everything that said TMB, t-mobile, tmo to VZW or verizon. Essentially, I deleted any mention of T-mobile. There was one place I actually substituted XAA though. Still testing other functions. You can report back if you notice a hiccup.

Thanks for sharing Lou!

Edit: forgot about Samsung Cloud. Let me take another look at that one

Edit 2: Ok, I believe I have Cloud working, but I have no idea how to look at the data since I don't use that feature. But every time I save something, the dial goes up. So I can only assume it's at least partly working. I say partly because when I go to My Files, I don't actually see any files. But, it says it synced and my usage is growing. Hmm

Edit 3: Changed gsm to cdma. Not sure if it affects anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Finally Samsung cloud is syncing everything again.....I'm using the newer version 3.0.00.1

***rename it to SamsungCloudGreat.apk and manually copy into the folder in priv-app set permissions reboot and profit!

I think video working. It's too late to expect anyone to answer the phone. But the one friend I called while she's working, it actually showed my camera as I was calling her. However I asked her not to pick up since she's a nurse. I'll upload it for you and maybe you can call someone and check it out.

Also I made other changes. I thought they might be Samsung Cloud related, but I guess not. I'm also trying to get Emergency Alerts to work. I thought it was fixed after the first Samfail cpas issue and the apk is there. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if I ever had it working at all, so I'm digging around a little to see if Alerts and cscfeatures are connected. I will try to get you one with just the Verizon/cdma only changes. May take a moment to revert some of this...
