Have a question, what's the difference between the above method and the adding "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the build.prop file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
I could be wrong but i believe the "linked" method keeps it from "throttling" the speed when connected to tethering and the build.prop method keeps it feom requesting carrier provisioning

The version provided is v3.0.00.1, there is actually a newer one v3.0.00.35 available below that I found while migrating to the unlocked Note 8 today:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...samsung-cloud-3-0-00-35-android-apk-download/

It is attached with instructions as follows:

1) Rename original /System/priv-app/SamsungCloudGreat/SamsungCloudGreat.apk to SamsungCloudGreat.apk.orig

2) Copy to SamsungCloudGreat.apk to /System/priv-app/SamsungCloudGreat

3) SamsungCloudGreat.apk should be owned by owner root, group root, chmod 644, owner (read, write), group (read), others (read)

I have the Note 8 unlocked US model with SamFail v2.5 and I have a question, where does one find the PRL (Preferred Roaming List) version used by CMDA carriers such as Verizon and Sprint and their MVNOs on the phone currently as I am using the csc from SamFail v2.5 and I can't seem to find the PRL anywhere. I have replaced the cscfeature.xml in /system/omc/XAA using bagery77's version renamed to cscfeature.xml and still cannot find the PRL version.

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 AM ----------

Interesting, I was doing a search and it seems like I see sites referencing the build.prop method only, build prop method and the first set line in the linked method and obviously, the linked method. The last one obviously doesn't need root while the first two does. Just need to find out what the set lines do and what the defaults are so one can reverse it if needed. I did just the build.prop method and

haven't tested the speed part yet but I can see the USB Throttling option is still greyed out.

I also did the following from a terminal shell app which can also be done by adb:

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

This one basically disables DUN (Dial Up Networking) protocol so the tethering traffic is sent as regular data so the provider can't tell the difference between phone use and tethering use, basically overriding the tethering limits of the provider.

Even with that, the USB Tethering option is still grayed out.

I need to find out what this one does and what the defaults are:

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun

SamFail v2.5 comes with v6.5.06 according to Titanium Backup which is newer than the version posted which is v6.3.36. Apparently, there is now a newer v6.5.12 and a beta version v6.6.31 Beta at:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/find-my-mobile

1) The file should be named Fmm.apk with the following permissions:

owner: root

group: root

chmod 0644 (owner: read, write), (group: read), (others: read)

2) Copy the Fmm.apk file to the directory /system/priv-app/Fmm which should have the following permissions:

owner: root

group: root

chmod 0755 (owner: read, write, exec), (group: read, exec), (others: read, exec)

And reboot afterwards

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
S9 Touchwiz Launcher (with Landscape rotation) (edits needed to get landscape to work, not necessary though if you don't wish for landscape rotation)

*****Manual installation only*****

Navigate to system/priv-app/touchwiz_2017/

Rename the current .apk (adding ".bak" to the end of the file name after ".apk")

Next copy the new launcher to the folder and set the permissions to 0644 for the apk.

If you don't care for landscape....you can reboot now and enjoy the new launcher.

If you want landscape option continue on......

Navigate to system/omc/ ***in my case TMB for T-Mobile.......VZW for Verizon etc....

Locate the file named "cscfeature.xml" and open with text editor (long press and select from 3dot menu using Root Explorer App) scroll to the bottom and right under the "last line" (before )

and add the line "<CscFeature_Launcher_AddAutoRotationIcon>TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_AddAutoRotationIcon>" WITHOUT QUOTES

Now save and exit.....not done yet ...close

Now navigate to system/build.prop and open that (in text editor)

Find these entries and change info to match.

ro.build.flavor=starltexx-user

ro.build.product=starlte

ro.product.name=starltexx

ro.product.device=starlte

Now we're done, reboot and enjoy!

Guide by yash92duster

*****Notes about launcher

Is nice and i really like the landscape ability....however in my case no notification badges showed on apps like messages, email etc......notification showed in status bar, on lockscreen etc, just not the numbered badges on app icons....

YMMV.

Enjoy !

****EDIT: If you experience force closes open the app info and wipe cache and data. Thanks [MENTION=6366447]Danhack000[/MENTION]

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Mentalmuso put it together for me. A few things to note.....i told him i wouldn't post the files as i believe he is planning to release one for snapdragon. I'm also on V1 samfail so he'll be rebuilding for V3 (i believe).

Also boot to recovery works (although when the device powers off screen powers off for about 1 min before rebooting into recovery....but it does work)

Boot to download mode also works, but not in the sense it would really be of help to us snapdragon users.....it boots INTO download mode instead of just to the "Warning screen" as we use to charge to 100%....so exiting download mode is a pain that boots to upload mode error screen....so it doesn't really help with our needs. ?

Removing the original messages folder isn't needed, all one has to do is rename the original .apk in that so it doesn't end in .apk and it will work fine.

Okay guys, could use some help here with the cscfeature.xml. I am on Xfinity Mobile which is a MVNO that uses Verizon Wireless's network. I am on a N950U1 no carrier unlocked model using Samfail v2.5 which About Phone shows XAA/XAA/XAA under Software version. I place the cscfeature.xml file in /system/omc/XAA which should be the correct location. Using [MENTION=2199840]bagery77[/MENTION]'s cscfeature.xml which is based on [MENTION=2685386]louforgiveno[/MENTION]'s cscfeature.xml while adding the auto reset option mentioned by [MENTION=2509548]anthonykash[/MENTION], the About Phone, Status has two submenus as SIM card status and IMEI information but is not showing ERI Version which should be under the IMEI Information submenu and not showing PRL Version, MIN, ICCID which should be under the SIM card status menu. I also tried the XFinity Mobile version from /system/omc/CCT and while it still had the same two submenus, it does show the ERI Version under the IMEI Information submenu but still missing the PRL Version, MIN, ICCID. I also tried the Verizon cscfeature.xml from /system/omc/VZW and this one got rid of the two submenus and everything is on one screen and shows the ERI Version but still missing the PRL Version, MIN, ICCID. My question is what line in cscfeature.xml is adding the two submenus and also, how can I add the ERI Version, PRL Version, MIN, ICCID sections? Thanks!

Ok guys....here's the Neural Keyboard with gif, stickers etc

****Note: swipe input isn't working for me, but predictive text is (this method will get predictive working with neural)

In my experience just installing the latest neural swipe and predictive didn't work....but i think following this guide will get predictive working (hopefully swipe too)

First download files...and to keep things simple, create a folder with another folder in it...let's call the 2nd folder "mod"

In the "mod" folder put the ModSamsungIMEv6.apk. Once in place remove the "Mod" part of file name so it reads "SamsungIMEv6.apk"

Now back into the main folder simply copy the "other" SamsungIMEv6.apk .

We're doing this to have both files ready to place, set permissions and reboot. We won't be able to count on using the keyboard to rename files on the fly, so be sure to have all apks (we're using) named in their final configurations (no .bak or anything else)

The next steps are pretty basic...

Navigate to system/app/SamsungIMEv6 folder and rename your current .apk to SamsungIMEv6.apk.bak or move it to another location for backup, then copy the file from the "mod" folder we created earlier......set permissions then reboot.

Once rebooted you probably see a bunch of keyboard error messages and keyboard will keep crashing....now we want to grab the "other" SamsungIMEv6.apk (the one that DIDN'T have "Mod" in the filename)

Now copy and Paste that one (overwritting the current file) now set permissions and reboot.

You should now have the new neural keyboard with working predictive text....

Sorry for the dragged out steps, this is the only method that worked for me....

I gave the instructions above a shot and this was what I did:

1) Navigate to /efs/imei and select 1st file, mps_code.dat, open in a text editor and change the 3 letter code from XAA to VZW and save.

2) Select the 2nd file, omcnw_code.dat, open in a text editor and change the 3 letter code from XAA to VZW and save.

3) Select the 3rd file, prodcode.dat, open in in a text editor and (note 3 letter code at end of the string which was SM-N950UZKAXAA), change the 3 letter code from XAA to VZW and save.

And basically when I rebooted, I have both a Verizon folder shortcut on the Home Screen and also in apps which contained Cloud, Message+, My Verizon and VZ Protect.

About Phone, Status is showing everything including ERI Version, ICCID, MIN, PRL

About Phone in the Service provider SW ver. section shows:

VZW/VZW/XAA

In the Phone INFO+ app, it shows the following:

Product Code:

SM-N950UZKAXAA

Original CSC Code:

VZW

Firmware's CSC Code:

XAC

Active CSC Code:

VZW

CSC Country:

USA/US

Mobile Operator:

31000 / 311480

So it seems like in #3 above, the Product Code cannot be changed regardless what you put into the file. Not sure if #1 is even needed either as it seems #2 might be the only one required since the csc uses omc, as long as the omc points to the one needed with the files, then that is probably what matters.

FX Explorer's built in editor. Root Explorer's editor can't handle long files so I switched to using FX Explorer for everything. The About Phone does show the correct Product code for the Software Rev's 1st line, it's just the XAA doesn't get updated and I am using a N950U1 no carrier branded unlocked model so XAA actually what the phone ships with even though the phone is running Samfail v2.5. Does the version of Samfail have anything to do with it. I never tried it without a sim yet but will try it later when I try out CCT and see what happens as currently, the only thing missing from the VZW CSC is ERI Version while everything else is there, this could be due to the fact that this is a XFinity Mobile SIM as there is something in notifications from setup saying I am not using a Verizon Wireless sim.

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------
