There's not a lot to it. The final copy I posted and why I posted it was because it was much cleaner than the one I was working on and I didn't want to break anything on anyone else's phone. I simply looked at everything that was T-mobile or gsm and changed it to something comparable, with the exception of CMAS for Amber Alerts. On my own CSC, I did a lot of CMAS edits that did not work. I also tried a few other things for fun (quick tiles or whatever) that were mostly useless. So I did not share that one.

The dialog has been opened to edit whatever one feels necessary for their own needs. I tried CSC Feature Extender previously and found it was more than I needed. Once I got the hang of it on a proper editing program, this was easier for me to do and understand. Again, this is something I did for myself on Verizon. My phone works as intended, I've shared what I did and how I reasoned to get there, and I'm good with that.

I tried installing the latest Samsung Messages v5.0.11.8 today by replacing the apk of the former v5.0.10.9 version but after rebooting, the system is not even recognizing the app as installed at all. Already checked /data/data and there is no data folder there so there isn't any data to clear.

Edit: Fixed this by deleting the original directory in /system/priv-app and then recreating it and adding the apk to it as the folder when viewed from /system/priv-app should show the apps icon on the folder.

That makes sense. How did you actually test the Emergency Alerts since I have never seen them disappear. I think the thing is that if there was a reference somewhere of what each feature did, it would actually make it easier to understand what it did. One thing that I noticed the stock XAA had was the APN list was opened to add new entries while the stock VZW, stock CCT and even the csc you provided is that the APN is locked with one entry, you can only edit it but you can't add new APN entries, that is one CSC Feature I am trying to find. What I am trying to do is add all the missing features or things that are disabled except csc is still a new thing to me since while I've been with Android for the last 10 years and I have my name on all tcp/ip networking code that all computer devices use, this is my first Samsung device so still a learning process.

Haven't gotten a spam call once since I activated spam protection, so I'm assuming that works. Can't seem to get call recording working though, have it set to auto record all numbers. Also tried hitting the record call button during a call, doesn't seem to work. It might have something to do with my service provider being TMB/TMB/XAA instead of TMB/TMB/TMB.

Edit: for some reason call recording works for me now. No idea what I did though. Thanks for all your work!

Lou I got my spam calling feature working thanks to you but for some reason my hd calling and video calling don't work? I think i lost them when I flashed aqi5 rom from the sprint forum. I am back on jkearses deoxed rom from the samfail ok and I tried flashing csc to no avail. Unless I used the wrong csc. Any idea how to get back these features. I'm on T-Mobile note 8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Not sure....was that rom from the sprint thread? (jkearses) You might need to re-root with the "new" samfail root (is deodexed now).

Might be the rom you're running.

Btw all those features are working fine for me (samfail deodexed rom)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] fogame:
New samfail? Is this for new update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Nope, do not take latest update if you want root......latest samfail is deodexed vs the original odexed version.....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Yeah, check the last pic in OP shows the info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Unfortunately i don't have the answers to your questions...but as i mentioned certain things like the "configopstyle>for<hd<>icon means just that...basically asking which carriers hd calling icon to use.....i've only seen the "tmobile" one and perhaps it varies style from carrier to carrier....you're just gonna have to use some logic and some googling to figure out the fine details.

Again as i stated a few days back get your hands on a s8 cscfeatures.xml (pre-oreo) for CCT, will be plain text and you'll be able to at least see the factory entries and they play around and change entries as you see fit.

Sorry but that's about all that can done at this point.

Just curious but what exactly is the dual settings menu? Thanks![/QUOTE]

It is a feature tailored for VERIZON. It give you the option to change your settings list view from simplified like TMB XAA ect. To a standard list view. The biggest problem I'm having an issue with is when I have the configopmenustructure changed from TMB to VZW I loose the device maintenance widget as well as the home screen icon for it. I've been working on figuring out a way to have the dual menu option with auto reset and device maintenance stuff. Along with all the other stuff we have tweaked so far

I was the one who made the original cscfeature.xml for us with call recording for the S8+ tmo variant...

I haven't tried the rom yet, I'm making a few before I start,

I was never able to make a system.img.ext4 like [MENTION=4609377]me21[/MENTION]21 makes with root installed.

the 1st one is completed, a flashable not rooted, and one rooted, I just leave it standard then flash the boot.img from samfail

the last few firmwares we had, my only issue was the camera was not working correctly with live focus it would FC

then I will try the system.img.ext4 to see if it can boot. it never passes with modified odin..

I never get any help and I just make stock roms, I have been doing since S2, S3, S4, Note 2,3,4, S8+ - before that almost all my HTC.. I just play around to have my roms working without issues, then I just remove the files I don't like to debloat them for myself...

I will see if they work in a few days... lucky I got me a spare phone for work, IPhone SE with a spare sim, I am grandfathered in on TMO with 6 lines for $120 plus tax...and $18 corporate discount of about I pay $134. but I took the unlimited off me and my wife for $20 each, lost my job and removed that... that really sucks... but everywhere I go, we have wifi, so I don't use up my data. 4gb.. hahaha

Iphones really suck for me.. hear me, for me.. I hate apple..
