Anyway to get this modified for Verizon ?

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Baller this method does work for Verizon. Just replace the csfeatures in the VZW folder not tmb for Verizon. Thank you so much everyone!

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

This also brings back Samsung cloud to my Verizon variant. It also brings the Samsung diagnostics to my variant. As a side note, my phone was bought directly from verizon, but I flashed it with the unlocked firmware I then rooted with the new method with no csc. Thanks everyone for getting this to work, I'd bet this works for every US carrier. Do you mind if I post this in the Verizon Note 8 Thread?

Lou does call recording work for you? I can't get mine to actually record? Everything else works as advertised, thank you for this everyone. It's ****ed how the US carriers strip these features out.

Yes call recording works for me....i set it to auto record and it does record.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] JavixKGD:
So, some things have been moving slow because of other things N8 I am doing as well, but here are some screenshots of what has been done so far....

So I have added data usage to the noti panel (still working on a mod to make changes to it on the fly like color, position,font,etc, for now it is csc mod so it is static). I have also added the memkiller. I am modding it so we can choose between it being next to the brightness arrow or in the header next to the settings button. As for the status bar I have set the signal to be in the left as I am working on mod to switch it from left to right but when setting it to the right again there is UI fc now. So working on that as well. Switched the traffic meter to the right added the arrows and coloring for both individually as well as adding the ability to show custom carrier text in lockscreen and desktop mode. For those that had not seen my previous post on this, 3minit, potato clock and potato gradient have also been added to the UI as well as more toggles. Thats it for now guys, will be releasing this soon now so u guys can have a go at it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] dallen5:
Can't wait to test it out!

Guys I just emailed Lou on this, but maybe someone else knows how to get this to show up in my settings. According to Sammy the Verizon version doesn't support find my mobile but I'm hoping it can be enabled with an edit to the CSC file. Maybe Bagery77 can chime in or anyone? When I search for find my mobile in the settings app I get nothing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] anthonykash:
Ok guys so I am.able to get it to appear in settings. I have our initial modified CSC file. I download the find my mobile app from APK mirror. I rename it to FMM.apk. I created a folder called FMM in System/App. I placed the app in the folder, set the permissions and rebooted. Once rebooted I am now able to see find my mobile in settings and apply the settings BUT when I go to the find my mobile website it still sees my phone as offline? Any ideas anyone?

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

I removed my Samsung account and readded it. The find my mobile site still sees the phone as offline? I'll screw with it tomorrow and report back.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Alright everyone credit goes to Bagery77 for this. He and I have been trying to get it to work and finally we were able to. If you want to enable find my mobile download the file below. Creat a folder in in system/app titled 'Fmm', place the Fmm.apk file in that new folder, set permissions and reboot. After rebooting go to settings app and search for find my mobile. Click it and enable the settings and boom you're good. Screw you Verizon for disabling this on our phones!. Thanks Lou and Baggery77. Below is a link to the file Baggery77 found that worked. My apk was not working.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bagery77:
Not sure why the discrepancy, but it appears I failed to delete one of my preliminary installs. Both of them were different apk versions with different folder titles. It's possible the version makes no difference. I'm really not sure at this point. But on a whim, I had named one of the folders "FindMyMobile." It's actually that one that ended up working for me. Permanently. Not the one I named Fmm. As for the apk inside of FindMyMobile, I have it named Fmm still. I've now tested the folder in both system/app and system/priv-app with success.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Almighty1:
Does Find my Mobile actually come with the other US carrier versions and the unlocked US version of the Note 8? Does SamFail v2.5 include FMM already?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] anthonykash:
Samfail does NOT include it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] bagery77:
Were you able to get it back online?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] anthonykash:
With the version you gave me everything works! Thanks again.

Ah good deal, good deal, very nice to hear. Glad we could put our heads together and make something happen!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] JavixKGD:
Sooo, I have done this thus far.......

But had to pause because my phone fell, screen broke, and have to wait till saturday for new one. Hopefully still in rev2 bootloader. Otherwise I am royally f****d.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Kalm_Traveler:
Not sure about US carriers but in my Korean variant, I have it as /system/priv-app/Fmm/Fmm.apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Almighty1:
LOL! I meant US versions as I am sure lots of people also want the 256GB storage on the US versions too!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Kalm_Traveler:
oh I misunderstood, I thought you were asking if the app is on other versions. I see fmm.apk on the T-Mobile N950U firmware as well. FWIW, it works just fine on my Korean variant even here in the USA.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Almighty1:
I was asking since it was mentioned that Verizon didn't have it but other US carrier versions did so my other question was if SamFail v2.5 had it or not. I don't think they really change the apk for the app unless it had something to do with the carrier since it will use whatever TCP/IP connection there is. It's easier to make one version that supports different things and adjust by detecting instead of having to release multiple versions for the same model phone.

2. Can we change the VM shortcut on in the dialer to messaging app shortcut N950U dialer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:

1. The Csc i posted should have it saying 4glte instead of 4g....you might have something in build.prop that's overriding it.

What carrier is your device?

Is it only me but I can't erase this csc no matter what even if I do a factory reset
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
If you followed steps in OP your original "cscfeatures.xml" should be named cscfeatures.xml.bak delete modded file and rename file with (.bak) to just cscfeatures.xml and reboot....otherwise depending on your current carrier ask a stock user to upload their file.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
There's a few lines in the csc which specify the symbols...

If you installed the file in op and still have the wrong signal bars, either there is a build.prop entry causing it ...or check the about phone and check service provider sw ver......should read TMB,TMB,TMB...

If it say XAA or something else, could be the issue.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Yeah, that's what is causing your signals to be different....you can try putting my cscfeatures.xml in your System/omc/XAA folder (first rename original file in that path with ".bak" added to end then copy over my file, set permissions and reboot....

Or you can do the necessary edits to certain files to get service provider to read TMB,TMB,TMB......I'll need to refresh myself on the steps i took months ago to do that on my device (after screwing things up testing and trying to get spam protection working).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Ok.....if you want those changed..

***be prepared after doing these steps the reboot may take 5-10minutes...and also have your samfail files ready in case you need to reflash (if you need to reflash do the steps WITHOUT SELECTING NAND-ERASE) (that way your files and settings will remain intact) and as always backup any important data in the case something goes screwy and you have to wipe etc.

Navigate to EFS/IMEI and select 1st file and (using Root Explorer long press file name and then select "open in text editor" (drop down menu top right corner of Root Explorer) then change the 3 letter code from XAA to TMB. Then press menu and Save and Exit. Then do the same with the 2nd file in that directory (XAA to TMB)

and then the 3rd file (note 3 letter code at end of the string) if XAA change last 3 letters to TMB and then save and exit.

After those changes have been made reboot and be patient may take longer than a regular reboot.

Any issues during boot then "dirty reflash your samfail"

If boot goes fine but you notice some features not appearing or working "dirty reFlash samfail" (DON'T SELECT NAND-ERASE)

And if at some point you reflash and end up flashing the CSC in odin just check to be sure that ot is in fact the TMB csc and not the XAA csc.

**** when all done remember now you will need to have my cscfeatures.xml in System/omc/TMB now (instead of XAA)

***No harm having my file in both locations if you choose to leave the one in the XAA location as is.
