Still trying to figure it out since it's obviously in some file somewhere that I haven't touched yet. What does the pre-boot CARRIER show for the code, this is the screen before the phone shows the boot splash screen, mines always shows XAA.

Anyways, here was what I did yesterday after removing the SIM card and booting up so there was no sim card in the phone with all of these to CCT just to see what happens:

1) Edited /efs/imei/mps_code.dat so it reads CCT and rebooted, /etc/imei/omcnw_code.dat reads VZW and the /etc/imei/prodcode.dat reads SM-N950UZKAVZW and are both untouched.

In Phone INFO+ app, it shows:

Active CSC Code CCT

Original CSC Code CCT

In Settings, About Phone, Service provide SW ver. reads:

SAOMC_SM-G955F_OYN_CCT_0168

CCT/CCT/XAA

2) Edited omcnw_code.dat so it reads CCT and rebooted, /etc/imei/mps_code.dat reads CCT and the /etc/imei/prodcode.dat reads SM-N950UZKAVZW and are both untouched.

In Phone INFO+ app, it shows:

Active CSC Code CCT

Original CSC Code CCT

In Settings, About Phone, Service provide SW ver. reads:

SAOMC_SM-G955F_OYN_CCT_0168

CCT/CCT/XAA

3) Edited /etc/imei/prodcode.dat so it reads SM-N950UZKACCT and rebooted, /etc/imei/mps_code.dat reads CCT and the /etc/imei/omcnw_code.dat reads CCT and are both untouched.

In Phone INFO+ app, it shows:

Active CSC Code CCT

Original CSC Code CCT

In Settings, About Phone, Service provide SW ver. reads:

SAOMC_SM-G955F_OYN_CCT_0168

CCT/CCT/XAA

So in reality, the only file that needs to be changed is /etc/imei/mps_code.dat since the phone will already think the original CSC and Active CSC is CCT.

So anyways, with the sim card put back in...

As I am using a XFINITY Mobile SIM, it will show up as Verizon Wireless on the lock screen with VZW and only identify itself as XFINITY Mobile only with CCT but because it's not a VZW SIM, it is not showing the ERI Version.

With the CCT stock cscfeature.xml, it is showing everything including the ERI version but once I put in bagery77's cscfeature.xml in the CCT directory, it shows everything except the ERI Version so there is something in the original CCT cscfeature.xml that is enabling showing the ERI Version which is what I am trying to figure out.

Attached is what I am working with...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
It's also possible there is an entry "included" which is keeping the info from showing.

Did you try heading to the s8 thread and asking someone on CCT (non-rooted or rooted) (pre-oreo) to post the cscfeatures.xml?

I really think you should start there with a "clear text" file made for your carrier...

Would make everything easier.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Almighty1:
That is true too but that part doesn't matter since we already know that only one file already determines which CSC folder it thinks is original and active. Yeah, I posted on the s8 thread and I believe one of the forum mods Mad Chemist? said he will see if he can pull it from his archive. Haven't had time to check if anyone else responded yet since I have over 150 browser tabs opened and can only do one thing at a time.

Aren't the /system/omc/CCT files on SamFail v2.5 actually sourced from what would be on a CCT device anyways since remember the original CCT cscfeature.xml does work correctly, I'm just trying to get your hacks into it. LOL.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Yeah it works, but to add my mods you'll need a "clear text" cscfeature.xml and the one included on all note 8 roms is "encrypted"

Pretty sure only S8 7.0 has it in clear text (most recent device to have it)

Good point, need to figure out exactly what a clear text one actually looks like...

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Just finished going through doing the original CCT cscfeature.xml and adding the mods done by Lou and basically these are the ones I need help with in choosing what to set:

1) <CscFeature_Common_ConfigAllowedPackagesDuringDataSaving>

From Lou's mod:

com.samsung.android.smartcallprovider

From CCT csc:

com.comcast.modesto.vvm.client,com.smithmicro.netwise.director.comcast.oem,com.samsung.android.smartcallprovider

Trying to figure out what this does exactly.

2)<CscFeature_Common_ConfigPco>

Lou's mod:

COMMON

CCT CSC:

COMMON,CCT

Not sure which one would work better

3) <CscFeature_Message_CMASOperator>

This is really a question for [MENTION=2199840]bagery77[/MENTION]

I noticed you used us-tmo, was there a reason you didn't use vzw for this one?

4) <CscFeature_NFC_ConfigAdvancedSettings>

Both Lou and CCT CSC has it as:

Disable

What is the correct word to use to enable it?

5) <CscFeature_NFC_DefaultCardModeConfig>

Lou has it as DH:ESE

CCT has it as DH-UICC

wonder what is the difference between the two.

6) <CscFeature_Setting_ConfigOpMenuStructure> [MENTION=2199840]bagery77[/MENTION] - did you notice any difference when you had it set to VZW vs TMB with the later being what it is set to in your cscfeature.xml

7) <CscFeature_SmartcardSvc_SetAccessControlType>

Lou has it as GAC,POSTLOAD while CCT CSC has it as

GPAC,GAC,POSTLOAD

drawbacks/advantages of having GPAC?

8) <CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigOpStyleForHdIcon> [MENTION=2199840]bagery77[/MENTION] has it as VZW_HD

CCT has it as

DisableHdOnLog,VZW_WIFI,VZW_HD

Wonder what the DisableHdOnLog and VZW_WIFI actually does.

9) <CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigOpStyleForVolte> [MENTION=2199840]bagery77[/MENTION] has it as:

VZW_VOLTE,USA_VOLTE,WIRELESS_PRI_SVC_FOR_PSCALL,support_merge_option_waitingcall_dialog

CCT has it as:

CCT_VOLTE,USA_VOLTE,WIRELESS_PRI_SVC_CALL

trying to figure out what WIRELESS_PRI_SVC_FOR_PSCALL, WIRELESS_PRI_SVC_CALL, support_merge_option_waitingcall_dialog actually does.

10) <CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigSoundPathVolte> [MENTION=2199840]bagery77[/MENTION] has it as US

while CCT has it as VZW

Not sure what this one does either.

11) <CscFeature_VoiceCall_SupportVolteHoldTone>

The default is NOT on both Lou and CCT, what is the correct word to use to enable it?

Thanks!

I'm preoccupied for a while, so I'll have to read this better later. But off the top of my head, I left cmas because no matter what I updated to, it broke Emergency Alerts. The one tmb vs vzw for menu whatever changes the Settings options or structure and that drove me nuts. And finally, I can't remember why I placed that US there. May have just been an error on my part. Again, I'll check back later and see I missed anything I can explain better.

Just a side note on this**

When implementing new TouchWizHome, make sure you Clear Data and Clear Cache. Cuz otherwise it will crash constantly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Yeah that's a whole lot....lol

If you read each line multiple times tou may start to understand their purpose better.....

But here's a few answers for you

1. Is telling system to still process spam caller id even in data saving mode

4. Enable

5. Best "explained" here https://www.gemalto.com/mobile/secure-elements

7. Access "calls" for smartcard service

9. Call merge option to appear when call waiting is active

10. Routes call audio through volte service (when volte enabled and acquired)

Yeah bro that's the only thing not working with this launcher. No badges are showing. And yeah at the beginning I was having constant crashing , but it's OK now.

I'm wondering if we are missing files to TouchWizHome in order to acquire number badges. ?

Looks like new updates available, haven't been able to test this yet:

1) Samsung Always On Display v3.2.13 (321303200)

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ays-on-display-3-2-13-2-android-apk-download/

2) Samsung Keyboard v3.0.01.53

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-keyboard/samsung-keyboard-3-0-01-53-release/

Kind of interesting that Samsung's apps unlike other system apps can't update and install to /data/app so the original version stays in /system
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Tested them both earlier....no changes for me......AOD just crashes and keyboard predictive text stopped working and swipe wouldn't input text still....reverted back to my frankenstein method lol...i'm really diggin this new keyboard....i really want that aod to work too, the extra clock options etc....

And it would be nice to have the edge screen light up even when the screen is on......oddly enough I've seen a bunch of s9 users complaining it ONLY works with the screen on for them....so something seems un-finished with the new version...

I'm thinking it might be as simple as a path naming issue...where the new touchwiz is actually called Samsung Experience Home (in app list) ...probably wishful to think its that simple....Need root for oreo dammit !! I really won't update till root is achieved...and my guess is all these apps will run as intended....With root be able to run s9 launcher with notification badges working and landscape rotation, keyboard WITH gif (not cheap changed like the official release for the s8 and note 8 keyboard) and hopefully fully operational edge lighting (screen on and off), possibly that new camera with myemoji etc...

I agree with you bro. I remember when I had my S5 and when Nougat OS came out, everyone wanted everything to work properly. But as time went by and more devs started implementing the right files for each apk, then everynting started to work and flow nice. So in this case, we would have to wait and see what little by little every apk from Oreo will offer. Hey thanks for what we have so far though. Hopefully, we can get root on Oreo soon. Lol

The csc edits I uploaded were not the one that I was using on my phone because at the time I was asked to share it, I was changing, editing, and breaking so many things that I had to just redownload a brand new Lou copy and try to remember everything I'd changed for Verizon so that others could use it and have it function as intended. These two numbers are likely a consequence of trying to put something out quickly.

6. I personally have mine set to VZW. I don't know if that's because I forgot to do it on upload or not. But by having it set to VZW, it allows me to be able to change as pictured if I remember correctly. I think this is why I started the editing project for myself in the first place. I couldn't find something I was looking for and I wanted the menu structure back and the 3 dots were gone. The three dots have also proven to disappear when other tmb's are left.

10. I still don't remember why this is set to US. Maybe better to change it to vzw. I have volte, so I'm not sure if/how that would change for anyone. Vzw is probably the safer code over US.

Hey so i am running edge screen ver 3.3.30 and I followed install directions you provided for above...im also using the launcher you provided (I think) and I just want to say edge light seems to work for me both screen on and off I can get It to show me on the screen off everytime I send my self a message...now for what ever reason if I text myself using My s6 using the textnow app my phone will not show the edge lighting with screen on, I only seem to ge the edge effect with screen on from other apps like twitter or pof Im trying to get a little screen video to showcase this but I am having issues sending myself notifications does anyone have any tricks to do this so that I may get a proper video out.

**note**

(I was trying to do this yesterday but everytime I would text myself I would just get the normal text popup... so I said forget it I woke up this morning was on my phone got a notification from pof and low and behold I get edgelighting screen effect with the phone on in my hand (couldn't get a screen record wasn't expecting it)

I apologize if I am rambling but in going to work on getting a little showcase together so yall can see it does work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bagery77:
Just wanted to follow up on 10. When I googled this setting just now and found another csc post, it was set to US. This was a T-mobile S8 post. So I must have seen it somewhere during my research to set it to that myself. It might be a U1 setting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] AlexanderBlaQ:
Okay yall I got the video now I known the quality isn't really top notch but atleast for me when I play it I can "fit to screen" and get a full view also not able to just post the video on xda so here is a link provided from one of my fav apps sendanywhere

http://sendanywhe.re/2TAKVQJS

If you want to fast forward to 1:03 you can see the screen on effect

so again this is edge screen ver 3.3.30 and I followed install directions you provided by you (louforgiveno)manually placing in system...im also using the s9 launcher you (louforgiveno) provided i am on samsung note 8 samfail rom 2.5 **NOTE**

I would maybe say this is kind of working maybe 85% as intended

Example: I get a normal text message with screen on I do not get the edge effect if I get a normal text with screen off I will get the effect.

Example2: I get an email with screen Off I didn't get any edge effect I also got an email with my screen on and Again I did NOT see edge effect

Example3: i was on my phone putting the video together for this post and while I was in landscape mode I received a notification about tonight HQ game and with screen on I got the edge effect

So it seems as tho the app works when it wants to? I have seen it with both screen on and off just depends on what app in getting the notification from maybe a future update will fix that or maybe some will have better luck on same fail 3...

Hope this isn't a pain to read anyone have any questions or want anything else let me know..

Ok so today (should have tried earlier) after installing the latest version of Samsung Messages app every now and then the app would freeze up on me so i backed up my messages and wiped the message app cache and data...then rebooted. Since that now i get edge lighting with screen on and off !!

I suggest people do the same and report back your results

******Edit on further testing it seems that the "Pop-up" notification option in message settings is actually what controls whether it lights up edge with screen on.....

So test that step first and if that doesn't do it then wipe....

Yes you are correct, place in the CocktailBarService folder, rename original with (.bak), be sure to set the permissions for the new file and change the name to CocktailBarService (I changed my folder to read: CocktailBarService_v3.2 and the app inside CocktailBarService_v3.2.apk) (Probably not necessary)

when done with setting permissions reboot....You may need to wipe the cache and app data for Edge screen.

Should work fine.....If not make sure you are using a deodexed version of samfail…. i.e v1, v2.5 or v3 (v2 is not deodexed)

(all that assuming you have a snapdragon note 8)

With a root explorer navigate to system/omc/yourcarriedfolder/cscfeature.xml and edit it to add <CscFeature_Common_EnableAirMessage>TRUE</CscFeature_Common_EnableAirMessage> and then save and reboot. Then it should be in settings.
