[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Motorola designed and manufactured the Nexus 6. It belonged to Google, but later was sold to Lenovo. Now they're coming up with all sorts of cheap phones designed to attach gadgets to.

I'm not sure if all Exynos have the same bands. I still haven't figured out whether it is the SoC hardware or firmware that detemines what bands and signaling methods are implemented. For example, I believe the only Note 8 that supports CDMA is the Snapdrogon based phone. But if you look at the following link, you'll see the various Note 8s and what bands they support:

https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-sm-n950-model-number-differences/

This leads me to believe there may be hardware differences, but they could be firmware related. My phone started life as a SM-N950F/FD Duos, but now with DeluxeROM installed it thinks it's a SM-N950F/DS. This is according to Settings -> About phone -> Model number. This leads me to believe a ROM change can recongifure a phone and possibly its bands. I'll back up one section when I get back, because now I have to make like a baby and head on out.

I agree that Apple users pay $1K for pre-bricked phones, but there is a reason. The majority of people, including Android users, do not want to mess with ROMs and such. They want a phone that works right out of the brick and mortar store after a stooge programs it to work on his or her carrier. Also, Apple made a big name for itself when it started supplying schools with cheap computers and tablets. This got kids hooked on Apple, and when they went out in the workforce, they preferred Apple. If Microsoft hadn't invented Office suite, Apple may have gotten the business market, too. However, I just read that Chromebook and Pixelbook have overtaken Apple products in the school market, claiming 60%.

the different phone branding is just a couple of lines in your build.prop file, specially the last line in the image.( mostly cosmetic, but can have an impact on google play and such as other apps will think it is an other phone if you lets say brand it as nexus or something. some mods out there change this info for you so you can get hidden apps from your current hardware on google play. alot if people do this to get sony apps. magisk modules do this for various types of hardware for the same goal. )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
If what you say is true, then my SM-N950F could be programmed to communicate on CDMA, right?

Upon looking at Abraham's description in the first post, he says

"DeluxeKernel_v3 features :

-- Based on CRE5 sources."

Why doesn't he say which particular kernel he's using, or is it his proprietary kernel? Can I solve my lack of WiFi Calling by switching to another kernel? So far, I haven't found anyone who knows about this. Another senior member named TEKHD has a DETONATOR .apk that will do this, but he says the ROM should already have IMS Settings. Either my ROM doesn't have it or I haven't found it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
no its cosmetic only and only a few apps rely on that info. wont make a thing on hardware side

Hello again.

I have video playback issue on 8.2.

Video load is so long and with pause pictures, in video player or in browser.

How i can to do?

Hello [MENTION=7393522]AbrahamGC[/MENTION] ,

I have a question/request:

do you plan to integrate any audio modifications?

ViPER4Android and/or Dolby would really put this Rom over the top.

thanks for your cotinued dedication and good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] graph1uk:
8.2 installed and enjoying this ROM so big thanks to the developer, was wondering if at a later stage will dolby amos be cooked into this?

Would love to have "stereo" sound with use of the top speaker / mic
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
dual speaker sound mod is also a great idea!

Integrating IMS Settings/WiFi Calling/VoLTE Into DeluxeROM

Speaking of integrating Dolby Atmos instead of flashing it, I would like to see integrated IMS Settings so that we can either use it directly to get WiFi Settings and VoLTE. I've been researching IMS Settings recently and found that it is specific to the carrier, so it would have to be in the menu during ROM installation. This may be a daunting project, because one thread said that in order to get T-Mobile or AT&T settings, I'd have to take my SIM and insert it into an Android phone that's locked to the carrier, then run Nova Launcher -> IMS Settings, then power down and take my SIM out and put it back into my Note 8. In other words, this thread says that the carrier bakes IMS Settings into their locked phones, but they install it from their SIMs, which then gets reinstalled into my SIM. I don't know if this is correct, but I may try it when I run into a willing T-Mobile user.

I think WiFi Settings and VoLTE are very important to most users, and I don't understand why DeluxeROM doesn't come with it or why people don't care about it. My Nexus 6 AICP custom ROM came with it, and I had no problems using WiFi Calling and VoLTE. I really like DeluxeROM v8.2 and hope to stay with it if I can get these features to work. I need them because I live in a fringe area and home is where I spend the majority of my time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gsser:
Maybe people dont use it and dont need it like me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
I know lots of people who use it, but they're on other forums. It's a big deal to these people because they'd rather have high quality voice over WiFi than very weak cell signal areas. I know several guys who work for a company in a metal building. Their WiFI calling works great, but their strong signal outside the building sucks indoors. No doubt people in this forum do not have this problem and thus its priority is in the noise area. Some people consider WiFi Calling a nuisance since they leave their house on WiFI and the cell phone switches to the tower, which interrupts the call.

There is a senior developer on this forum named TEKHD who apparently considers it important, because he provides a way to implement WiFi calling on T-Mobile; however, he requires that IMS Settings be installed in the ROM; otherwise, it won't work. Most international phones do not have IMS Settings, so I'm not really sure who his target group is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gsser:
The thing is noone requested it, and for my opinion i dont find it necessary, idk about companies but in my company we have a diffrent kind of contract with carriers. Our regular phone calls with company sims are basically free and everyone have enough data connection. There is no point of me to use wifi calling. I can just call someone with his own number suchas 1070 1021 etc for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
Wifi calling is on the CSC side. even if avalable by decrypting csc and adding to rom, some providers ( like Rogers in canada) black list all phones that arent provider bought from using this feature.

I have a regers sim and had wifi calling with my old s7.

now that i bought the korean n950n, i put back the canadian XAC RWC csc and i have wifi calling and volte. only problem is that it wont work because my phones imei code is not in their 'list'.

ive called them about this, there are some posts concerning provider black listing of 'outside' provider phones specially ober at my carriers forum.

now, not saying this is the case for all providers but in my case it is a lost cause till they decide to lift this 'ban'.

people dont put CSC from other regions other than the ones that are alredy in the rom base because it can bloat up quite fast.

TKKGs pack:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962339331459002407

it is made to be flashed afterwards to go on your providers CSC and grant you all the specific services as you would if you had bought your device from them.

so even if devs dont necessarily have your csc in their setup, you can apply it on your own.

be sure to go mount these following partitions in twrp just before your flash the csc pack. for some reason sometimes ive noticed issues if not done right before flashing it:

system

efs

wifi calling has nothing to do with free calls.

its if you are in a region where there is no service. lets say a basement where coverage is poor, you would activate wifi calling(if a wifi connection is avalable) to be reachable and also be able to acctualy make calls regardless of cell reception.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Yeah, there are many kinds of plans, and company paid phones tend to choose carriers with the best coverages. In my area, Verizon has the best coverage, but many people choose AT&T and T-Mobile, because they're cheaper. I'm with an MVNO that uses T-Mobile coverage, so I might as well be with T-Mobile as far as coverage is concerned, but I don't get WiFi Calling unless I am with T-Mobile. I have to add it on manually.

Just because you and others don't use WiFi calling doesn't mean others don't. I'm not sure why, but my Nexus forum was filled with people using WiFi calling, and it was easy with the custom ROMs offered for it. We preferred it, because VoLTE call quality is much better. When I decided to jump to the Note 8, I run across this problem, and people don't seem to think it's a big deal, except TEKHD. He must think it's a big deal; otherwise, he would spend the time to develop DETONATOR add-on. I have plenty of time to experiment with my Note 8, but if I can't find a WiFi Calling solution, I may have to go back to stock ROM and possibly go directly to T-Mobile, where they can add it in for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JeremySS:
This ROM is really, really good. I I stalled it without root and most everything works, even my work apps that look for root status. Very fast, very smooth, and very powerful. Excellent work.

Hi, i have Not Call Record

My csc is dbt
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] siriow:
The Rom works really well but, notification panel-notification colors-use custom/stock colors-enable custom background

it works but if I restart, it loses the settings, to get them back I have to disable them and then re-enable them, every time it is restarted. Is it possible to solve this problem? Thank you all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Question: TKKG doesn't give any instructions, so I take it you experimented with this package and found some nuances. I'm using DeluxeROM. Which ROM are you using? It probably isn't DeluxeROM, since you have the SM-950N Korean Note 8. If I see the partitions you listed above in TWRP, does it mean they're already mounted, or do I have to mount them again using the TWRP Mount function?

Here's my take on WiFi Calling. It requires a carrier server to communicate with the phone. The server patches the phone over to the same server than handles the party you're calling, and it connects you to the party via the cell tower. So WiFi Calling functions can be incorporated into any phone but they don't have to be used. They're only useful if the carrier allows WiFi Calling via their dedicated server. That's the way it was with custom ROMs in the Nexus 6 world. My carrier is an MNVO that has such dedicated server, because I used my Nexus 6 on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
im on deluxe. just find what csc code your region/provider is under and flash away. check in the forum for his thread it might shed some light.

wifi calling is csc(some specific files might be rom based but usually all you need is in the csc) and provider dosent patch anything. only thing they can do is apply OTA updates which are secirty update or new bases. for wifi nothing sent or modified over the air. you either have the needed files on your phone or you dont.

concerning mounting; his zip should mount them but i have seen occasions where the script failed and simply went to mount and checked the boxes for system and efs and flashed again for a successful flash. once you reboot wait 2 minutes as your device will be installing/upgrading..you will have a notification indicating this.

after check you notification shortcuts for wifi calling. you might need to edit buttons and add it. volte might be in system/connections/mobile network
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
My MVNO provides me with the CSC setup at the following link:

https://www.mintmobile.com/setup-for-android/

I just booted into TWRP to take a look at the mount function. I found exactly what you said above, i.e. all partitions are mounted except System and EFS. I thought for sure these partitions were already mounted, but I was wrong. What the heck, I'm going to try it out and see what happens! I've got nothing to lose, because I've got this baby backed up. Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
that is apn setup. what is your region and provider? mint? where is that from? what 'big' company do they buy lines from?

edit:

ok so its a Tmobile reseller so you should be selecting in aroma:

XAA region nd then TMB carrier

but since they are resellers and it is a prepaid service not sure you will ever get wifi calling to work. but good luck anyways

regarding mounting the 2 partitions in twrp. its more of a precausion as they are never mounted by default and the script in the zip should auto mount them. if ever you see in the onscreen logs resource busy and install code -1, then you need to mount these and reflash. ive had this happen if you flash a rom and the the csc pack in succession using the zip queue feature to install multiple zips one after the other. As a precaution i always flash rom then go back and flash csc after mounting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
I didn't know what Aroma was until I googled it just now. It's an installer, but how is an installer going to let me select the XAA region and TMB carrier? How do I install Aroma and launch it? I've downloaded the CSC Selection file and am ready to rock n roll except for the Aroma stuff.

BTW, I know for a fact that mintmobile offers WiFi calling, because I had it implemented on my Nexus 6. It had AICP custom ROM, and the WiFi calling function and controls were baked in. It sure did simplify things.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
1- know where the csc pack is on your phone

2- boot to twrp and choose install then brows to where csc pack in step 1 and install. when Aroma starts, choose XAC, it is the region you first select then the specific carrier you need after is TMB on the sub menu. after there is a tweaks page where you might or might not want to select and apply. at the end of install if screen goes black just press power button and do the unlock motion on screen. sometimes screen does that for some reason at the end and some think it crashed or stuck in a loop but its not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Okay, your instructions above are easy enough, but what do they have to do with Aroma? Where does Aroma come in? I want to make dam sure I get this right, because the last thing I want to do is brick my Note 8 and turn it into an iPhone 10. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
you cant brick the note 8 unless you manage to flash the wrong bootloader which is not involved in our current conversation.

aroma is the installer that is launched when you install the csc pack in Twrp. think of it like the setup wizard when you install an app on a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
I was just joking about bricking my Note 8, but it's nice to know that the Note 8 is hard to brick.

I installed the CSC Installer .zip file and then it launched Aroma so I could make selections. I selected XAA and TMB, then finished the setup and rebooted. Everything worked just fine except that I cannot find any WiFi calling settings. Settings looks the same. Is there an app it installed that I go to to make such selection? I can't find any such app on my phone. Is there a way to launch CSC Selections Aroma without installing it again with TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
Aroma is only launchable in twrp recovery.

in the notification bar edit the buttons and check if it simply needs to be added.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
also, open phone app and go to settings and go through all the settings. some carriers might hide it there.i remember in nougat it was there( but i did have a notification button though)

let me flash the Tmo pack just for fun and see if it appears for me...

initially after Tmo i still had the wifi calling icon, after android upgrade phase i got a pop up telling me sim card was changed so i had to reboot again and lost the wifi calling tile button after that. so i guess since i am on Rogers sim card that explains it.

but i did get the Tmo jingle sound on boot...lol gonna go revert my regular carrier now.

but for your part not sure. but looks like you will have to flash TEKHD detonator pack and see if it appears with that.

did you at lest get the Tmobile jingle? did you see the android upgrading notification for a couple of minutes in notification panel?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sojourner353:
Hi, how does one slow down the animation speed of the progress bars and spinners to be like stock speed? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] puddingoz:
Developer options,set animation duration scale to 1×
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
I flashed that file last night and looked for WiFi calling but couldn't find it. I checked the notifications bar and the phone app. Neither one had anything on it. I went to sleep thinking that I may not have set it up when using Aroma, because all I did was check for XAA and TMB. It may be that TMB is the wrong setting, because I'm actually going to the mintmobile server, not the T-Mobile server. I'll check with mintmobile. I didn't get the T-Mobile "jingle" nor the upgrading notification in the notification panel.

I'm scared of going with the TEKHD DETONATOR pack, because he clearly says that I need to have IMS Settings on my machine, and I don't have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
well tou should have had the tmo jingle and notification of android uograding. are you sure you acctualy flashed anything?

for the tekhd, dont worry, its safe. even if ims is nowhere to be found it wont break anything. and tou have a full backup in twrp right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Yes, the good news is that I have backups in TWRP even going back to the stock ROM. I'll try DETONATOR tonight.

BTW, I called MintMobile, and the support guy was worthless. He said that they support WiFi calling, but the software should be on the phone to support it. It was on my Nexus 6 AICP ROM, but not on DeluxeROM Note 8. I wonder how hard it is for the DeluxeROM developer to integrate such functionality on v3? I really like DeluxeROM v2 and don't want to migrate. I'm even willing to introduce him to Queen Letizia, who told me that she wants to run DeluxeROM but is afraid that her gifted G950F will blow up in her hands once she gives up her iPhone.

Edit: I installed DETONATOR by TEKHD and rebooted. Now the phone is in a boot loop. It first displays the Samsung logo, then starts Android and updates app N of 81. Then it repeats the above again, over and over. Once I figure out how to get it out of the loop, I'll see if I can start it manually and progress into the Samsung Home Experience launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
try iron man rom if you have the time then flash tekhd. i was on that rom. it is extremely similar to deluxe rom. it is from TKKG the same guy that does the csc packs. if it still dosent work then i dont know. just be sure to wipe everything before switching. (full wipe) just wiping caches wont do it. have you gone through the format data and dm verify zip flashing when you first installed twrp then installed deluxe? i have a feeling your internal sd is encrypted and may be the reason why you are having strange issues.... there are guids on how to prepair your phone for twrp and be able to fully utilize your phone with custom roms.

btw AICP is aosp based and is nothing compared to stock. its fully open source thus developers have much more control on what they implement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Logel:
That WiFi call for me is available. I can enable it through notification toggle or from into the dialer app.

If it's not available try to activate it with the app "shortcut maker"
