[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Hmmmmm .... weird ... I investigated a bit ...

- moved away busybox

- moved away ro.secure*** properties

Then ran RootBeer app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample).

RootBeer says that my device is NOT ROOTED. See screenshot in attach.

But ... Santander app still does not work ... :crying::crying::crying::crying:

I decompiled the Santander APK to check what they do in their code to check root ... unfortunately their code is totally obfuscated so I can't figure out why they think the device is rooted.

It might be something related to the kernel ... I will ask if [MENTION=4587002]Noxxxious[/MENTION] has any clue ...

Don't know what to do next to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
OK, I have the Santander app working (with some help from [MENTION=4587002]Noxxxious[/MENTION] ...)

- It should work with Magisk 17.2 (my ROM contains 17.1 ... 17.2 is still in beta ... I will integrate it later)

- But it works also with 17.1 if you do:

a) Hide the Santander app in Magisk

b) do:

> adb shell

$ su

# hl

This will install the "huge" hosts file for adblocking ... then the Santander APK works for me.

Be cautious: that hosts file will block 255K hosts ... and I know it causes Microsoft excel/word/powerpoint to fail.

So you will just have to wait until I have integrated Magisk 17.2 into the ROM.

Thankyou sir I really appreciate you looking into this. I will try it later when I get home.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I checked and it works with 17.2 !!!

So, wait until next release ... Friday ...

Don't flash 17.2 yourself ... it will undo the kernel ramdisk changes for my ROM ... it might break other stuff.

I've gone back to stock rom I couldn't get banking app working either and didn't have enough time ATM to try all fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I have the Santander app working with Magisk 17.2 on my ROM.

However, it does NOT work if I grant root "automatically" via the Magisk app.

If I grant root "manually" (so you get a little SU dialog when an app requests root the first time) then the Santander app works.

Of course I am not a customer of that bank, so I cannot do transactions.

But I do get past the splash screen and I do see the login dialog.

You wrote in the OP that all CSC config has been currently removed from the ROM.

So this would explain it.

Any hint how to get the settings for Austria...?

Would this work: flashing official CSC from the latest Austrian operator Branded version?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
You need:

- APKs

- potentially some XML files which have been deleted from the ROM (see script in ¦OP¦)

- CSC files

As I said, I am totally in the blind as my provider does nor support VoLTE, so I cannot check/test anything.

Don't ask hypothetical questions like "would this work" ... I don't know .. just try ;)

After doing a clean install, I am trying to look for Slow Motion and Panorama in Camera (having camera=1 in googlewiz.config file), however I cannot find them. Tried copying stock system apks (such as SlowMotion_Star and SamsungCamera7) to /system/priv-app, but no effect as they have probably different signatures, in fact, they disappear from the launcher

Also tried setting 'true' to related flags in /system/cameradata/camera-feature-v7.xml but still no luck

Finally I also set 'camera=0' to install stock camera apk in /system/priv-app in addition to SlowMotion-Star apk but still

So, which is the way to see the SlowMotion feature in Camera?

Maybe any apk missing?

It's after camera update in v81. In v80 You still have those features available. It is probably because of the CRI base.

by the way: you do know that you can mod the camera app, so you can set another galery, right? you might even get rid of samsung galery then ;)

No, Belgian.

There's not so much wrong with the Samsung Gallery. Substratum can theme it as well if you use a Samsung compatible theme. Google does not have a gallery any more. It's also linked to the Photo editor and Video player.

Can you point me to the camera mod please. I will have a look at it.

ah, belgian. well, that's nearly the same. we all like beer and frieten :D

google photos is a galery. with an editor, the ability to search in your photos with googles intelligence and the ability to unlimited backup to google drive.

the camera mod is included in the (paid) app of zero camera mod: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/themes/zero-camera-mod-bitrates-jpg-hdr-af-t3625795

but it is also in a (free) xposed module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.smartmadsoft.xposed.samsungcameragallery

and SoLdieR9312 included it in his rom somehow: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/sam...xf-fd-n-oreo-beta-2-soldier9312-zqk4-t3703183

question: always when i install a fresh rom, right after the setup wizard google wants me to 'finish up the installation' and i get a screen with loads of bloat-apps by samsung and google. i can disable the samsung ones, but i can't seem to disable the google ones (duo, chrome, play music and 2 or 3 others). they start downloading and installing right after the setup wizard.

i don't use most of these apps, so i don't want them. do you have any idea which apk or file is causing this preload bulls***? :)

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Correction: "best" beer(s) in the world and "best" frieten as well :)

True, but editing for example requires you to be online.

OK, I was aware of the paid app.

This does not occur in my ROM.

I have only kept SetupWizard in my ROM which is basically the Google one.

In the Samsung ROM there is another Samsung SetupWizard; don't recall the name now (SecSetup or GlobalSetup).

hi foobar66, normally i download a custom rom and then debloat it a bit more, by removing apk's to my liking. with your rom i'm thinking about adding some apk's :D is it possible to take apk's from a deodexed rom and drop them in your odexed rom? or will this not work?

for example adaway (i like to add whitelists to ad-blocking), smartmirroring (to cast screen to my tv), hearingdro, soundalive and all specific viewers for motion photos and panorama's etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:

Not guaranteed that this will work. There are many other config files which are removed from the ROM related to Samsung apps. Check the bash script in ¦OP¦.

Just try. If it does not work, check the script. In addition, a huge number of features related to Samsun apps in /etc/floating_feature.xml and /system/csc/feature.xml have been turned off.

Pairing with a Garmin EDGE 1000 ... OK.

Let's hope that it won't be hard to find
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
OK, I already found one SIMPLE thing..

Go to Settings > Apps

Then in the right upper corner, click the 3 dots and make sure the system apps are enabled.

Now go to the Bluetooth system app, then go to permissions.

In my case, it had NO permissions at all. I enabled: contacts, storage, sms/, telephone

After enabling this I could connect to my CAR and:

- send/receive text message

- send/receive phone calls

- play music from my phone with USB into my car audio

[MENTION=5032616]Richard_10[/MENTION]: can you please enable these permissions as well and check your earbuds?

The fact that the permissions are not there by default may have something to do at with the fact the Samsung dialer/phone/contacts are not there. I am seeing the following exception:

03-07 17:59:23.798 20962 21038 E BluetoothAtPhonebook: queryPhonebook - can't get cursor (false) : java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: opening provider com.android.providers.contacts.ContactsProvider2 from ProcessRecord{bee4999 20962:com.android.bluetooth/1002} (pid=20962, uid=1002) requires android.permission.READ_CONTACTS or android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
hi foobar66, i don't mean to hijack your thread, but i decided to make my own rom and have a (easy?) question. i hope you can help me out with it :)

i will base my rom on a multi-csc omc version, but i want it to end up with a single csc of my choice. will it work if i go into system/omc, take the cscfeature.xml and sales_code.dat of my desired csc folder (phn) and drop these in system/csc. and then remove the omc folder completely? biggest question here is (i guess) if the system treats the omc folder and the selfmade csc folder in the same way? and does it matter what name the .xml file has? i read things about others.xml, feature.xml, cscfeature.xml etc...

cheers man!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] bamsbamx:
So, looking at the changelog, I found the way to have Slow Motion, Super Slow-Mo and Panorama modes with v82. The file which actually changed camera features was /system/cameradata/camera-features-v7.xml using stock CRI5 camera APK. However, the stock Gallery and Slow Motion editor are still missing (I didnt found the way to make editor working since some lib was not found, making it FC). Then I ended up using Xperia Album and Xperia Video Editor, with is way better than the one include in TouchWiz (allowing multiple SlowMotion speeds 1/8x, 1/4x or 1/2x and multiple sections) and have a nice UI

Here are the instructions (used for v82):

Download attached files

Copy camera-feature-v7.xml file to /system/cameradata (it should ask you to overwrite, click OK), which is the one included in stock CRI5 firmware

Extract zipped FOLDER (containing stock Camera APK) to /system/priv-app, which is the one included in stock CRI5 firmware

Install attached APKs normally (Xperia Album and Xperia Video Editor for slow motion editing). Worked with versions 8.6.A.0.4 (Album) and 2.1.A.0.3 (Video Editor), not tested higher versions yet (if any)

Reboot

EDIT: Tried newer album version successfully downloaded from here (the one which says universal version Album 9.3.A.0.12 ): https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-d...pp-sony-album-6-1-0-14-ui-updated-22-t2378816

Download available here as well, install as a normal APK: https://mega.nz/#!bN531SwA!AwkTgpFBrS6pPsyUXYystWSmV_r_koosJ0kzOMM8sUo
