Welcome newbie!

:) In wm61 you have the option of keeping your ringtones anywhere. all you have to do to set it as a ringtone is: tap&hold for the context menu, select "set as ringtone"

About the Today screen, I did that on purpose. Everything that you have on the today screen takes up ram. besides, I didn't want it during first boot with customizations running.

About your outlook problem: I have never had that happen. Not on my rom or anyone elses. I would have to assume that it may be an issue with your configurations; either on the phone, or computer. Try reseting the device, let it boot completely at least 30 to 60 seconds after you see the bars at the top and bottom. the ram has to come back down to norm.

Hey S.V.I, good rom!

I'll be waiting for the msn/windows live free version.

I'm cooking my own rom right now but I really striped it down: no .tsk files, no games, no calc, no windows update... The final result is good, about 45mb free.

I was wondering if you could share which performance tweaks you're adding to your rom. :)

On a side note:

Good to know!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
I have a busy weekend ahead of me. I have to repaint 8 rat masks for a show, and I can't half ass it; just like I can't release a half finished rom. So I guess it is likely that I may be able to finish the rom on the plane. So there should be an update around wednesday. sorry to keep you waiting.

as far as which tweaks I am putting in, you should just be able to read the registry when I am done. I am just going through all of the rgu's and provxml's with notepad to make sure features are enabled. By the time you go throught them all, you won't need to ask :) it is pretty self explanatory for the most part. one thing I am working on is power management and performance, another is the visual aspect of things in here. changing some bitmaps and png's and making sure that it looks and performs like it should. I'm working on the camera right now, putting in the speckle fix, as well as trying to get the files in proper format. I got a weird camera package with files that were designed for another camera. so I'm just making sure it is all good. working on the media player skin as well as the comm manager, explorer... the list goes on. I'm trying to put out something really special.

just no time right now to finish it. have to finish my contract first.

Thanx for the good words.

New Version>>> Uploading

Hello everyone,

I am uploading a new version of this rom. Many things have been reworked and adjusted. This is the LiveFree version that I was working on for a while now (well when ever I had the time)

So I am starting the new thread. This one is closed.

Hello.

I am waiting for my redmi 5 + (vince) to unlock. It should be done in 100 hours or so.

In the meantime, i would like to try MIUI 10.

If i understand things correctly, this should be the steps to follow :

1- backup my files.

2- download and install miui_HM5PlusGlobal_8.4.24_6b42bb9d12_7.1.zip first so i don't have the "couldn't verify / different android version" problem.

3- download and install miui_HM5PlusGlobal_8.8.23_4805da6d79_8.1.zip

4- enjoy

5- then can i go back to miui 9 stable without risking the device to brick? (anti roll back?)

thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] jes0411:
You have to install 8.8.23 directly.

There's no anti roll back for r5+, you can go back to miui 9 stable but only to latest version that is 9.6.5.0 Oreo.

Hello everyone,

As you might have seen, Google Safetynet APIs have been updated. Since Official Magisk is using old API, when you try to pass Safetynet, it will automatically give you an error like " The response is invalid" or something like that.

So, in order to bypass this issue, I've been searching for a long time and I found a solution.

THIS WON'T WORK WITH XPOSED FRAMEWORK INSTALLED!!

1- Uninstall completely Magisk using official uninstaller.

2- Once the device rebooted, download and install latest unofficial Magisk Manager APK available on this page: https://github.com/ianmacd/MagiskBuilds?files=1

3- Open Magisk Manager and go to Magisk settings

4- Click on Update Channel and choose Custom

5- Insert this URL and click OK : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianmacd/MagiskBuilds/master/updates/ianmacd.json

6- Click on Clear Repo Cache

7- Return to Magisk Startpage and check for update

8- Install Unofficial Magisk 16.8

9- Once installation done, reboot your device

10- Go to Magisk Manager and check for Safetynet

If it passed, Congratulations, you're done.

If not, continue.

11- Download this Magisk Module : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528046758

12- Once downloaded, disconnect your phone from Internet (turn of the Wi-Fi, 4g, etc...). It's very important

13- Install the module using Magisk Manager and reboot

14- When reboot done, wait 5 minutes before turning on Internet connection

15- Go to Magisk Manager and check if Safetynet passed.

It should be working, it worked in my case.

Have tried on two devices:

- Leeco x626 with EUI ROM ( Cuoco) using the module

- Leeco x526 with MIUI 10 without the module

FOR EUI ROMs:

You could get an error saying you're using a modified software or something like this, after uninstalling old Magisk.

Do this :

- Download official Magisk uninstaller AND Unofficial Magisk 16.8 ZIP

- Reboot to TWRP Recovery

- Uninstall old Magisk using the uninstaller

DO NOT REBOOT

- Return to TWRP Home menu and install unofficial Magisk 16.8

- Reboot your device and it should be okay

Check if you don't have Xposed Framework installed, if yes uninstall it as it won't let the phone pass Safetynet check.
[LeEco Le 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rexmako:
I don't think I have Xposed framework, unless it's hidden somewhere in my phone. How do I check for it? I know I have some root apps installed. Apps like es explorer, root explorer and browser, BusyBox, etal

BusyBox... That's the problem, try without it Installed

You are going to have to factory reset that is the fix. You might be able to fix it with clearing caches and davlik in twrp if that is applicable. But chances are factory reset will be the only thing that fixes it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] basharno1992:
I have rooted my Pixel 2 XL using the pinned tutorial in this forum and it went fine (I get a message that "my device is not working, contact support" after booting but nothing seems wrong with it).

I want to install the new 9.0 version of Android, and I have an OTA notification on my phone that the update is available.

Question 1: Can I press this notification and normally install the update? are there any risks involved?

Question 2: If the answer to Q1 is no, the natural approach would be to sideload the update as mentioned in the same tutorial (adb reboot recovery, adb sideload <zip_name>.zip). Is there anything else I should be aware of? I just want to avoid running into problems and/or bricking my device.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you have a stock recovery installed, then yes, you can take the OTA. You will lose root. As to risks, there are always risks, but with an OTA they are minimal.

If you have a custom recovery installed, you will need to either sideload the OTA or flash the OTA in the custom recovery. Again, you will lose root and again, there will always be risks.

While your caution is warranted since there are always risks of something going wrong, it's very difficult to brick a Google device. Especially a Google device with A and B ROM slots. Using adb commands you could select the working slot if the current slot is malfunctioning. At least, that's how I understand it: Google may have automated the process.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] basharno1992:
Thanks for your reply! Yes I kept the original recovery because when I rooted I assumed things would be easier with stock recovery and I wasn't planning on flashing custom roms/kernels, and turns out I was right. Thanks again!

Hi All,

I have been trying to follow all of these threads and waiting to get my hands on some VZW firmware since I am on verizon. I was rocking the Unlocked firmware but with only VOLTE , which is ok but I wanted to have backup for WIFI-Calling. I noticed in the other thread ( https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/n960u-tmb-stock-odin-files-firmware-t3833205/post77449285) a user said to use Sam Mobile to download the firmware which Took about 5 hours. I figured the APP could maybe pull it if I typed in the right Model and Region. I tried using some different ones and the one that worked was the model : SM-N960U1 with "VZW" as the region. I have attached the screen shot and also uploaded to google drive for people to easily download.. Enjoy !!! The exciting thing is I used Odin with the said files on top of running the unlocked firmware and used the Home CSC and my data was kept safe. Basically everything was the same and it included the crappy Verizon apps but now I have wifi-calling .. sorry just a little excited..

The full Firmware name is this : N960U1UEU1ARH2/N960U1OYM1ARH2/N960U1UEU1ARH2/N960U1UEU1ARH2

One thing I just noticed is that, using android messages was I thought working 100 % but then I had people calling me saying they were texting me and I wasn't getting them.. They would get the SMS I sent but I would not be able to recieve. I switched to the Samsung Native app and bam my messages were there. I don't know if thats because I did not wipe first before doing ODIN or not ..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
This is a common issues with newer Samsung phones. Their implementation of Advanced Messaging is half-assed and unfortunately you almost always have to stick with their SMS app to not have issues. Luckily the app has been updated a lot since the S7 days and is no longer a steaming pile of garbage.

XAA wifi calling is working fine with me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KidJoe:
Are you using Verizon as your wireless carrier? How did you turn it on?

My note 9 (unlocked XAA) doesn't have any options to turn on Wifi calling when my Verizon SIM is inserted. But Wi-Fi Calling turns on with a notification in the shade, and I can toggle via phone>menu>setting>wifi calling, when my T-Mobile SIM is in the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hardwired_KS:
[MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION]

I did this on My device, Unlocked to VZW. It worked.

Wifi calling is located in Settings>Connections>Advanced Calling. Make sure you have a proper cel signal when you activate it.

Notes:

- As OP mentioned, Use the Home CS file and all of your existing settings, apps, etc won't get wiped.

- I was surprised that there were only like 6-7 crapps that came from Verizon. Mostly Yahoo mail and a couple games. The Verizon "Security & Privacy" and Cloud apps cannot be removed. I kept the voicemail and caller ID apps.

Otherwise, it seems like a pretty quick and easy fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] trebills:
Will you describe your process of firmware flashing to get this result please?

Also, out of the following which do you have?:

Samsung built in Caller ID/Spam

Samsung Cloud

WiFi calling works for Verizon, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KidJoe:
that is after flashing the rom in the OP though, right? (I mean that is how it is on my VZW branded Note8, GS9 and Gs8. Yes I have many phones.. don't ask)

I was reading NICEGYPT's post as if it was done on the unlocked without flashing which is why I asked.

Question though. Since I did flash my VZW branded GS8 with the unlocked/unbranded to get the Oreo beta, and back .. for that phone there were more steps than just flashing the rom... Requiring a factory binary and other home csc file, etc. That doesn't appear to be needed non the note 9, is that correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NICEGYPT:
Sorry man! I over looked the wifi calling. I don't have wifi calling at all. But I have rest you mentioned working fine. Caller ID, Samsung Cloud, Samsung visual voicemail.

thank you for posting this! Will definitely try tonight on my unlocked Note 9 from BB, I did not realize that ordering the unlocked would disable wifi-calling with verizon.

Question: Will flashing the verizon firmware over my unlocked note 9 enable sending SMS via Wifi using the Android Messages app?

I'll be going on travel overseas, Wifi-calling is definitely nessasary for me, and sending SMS via Wifi using the stock android texting app would be icing on the cake :)

hello

you don't need to reflash the firmware N960U and N960U1 are multi CSC so :

save all your data

- Power off the device

- remove the sim tray.

- Go to recovery , HOLD home ( or bixby button ) + Volume up together , and power up

- In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything

- Choose power off , in the recovery and insert sim tray .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start

- Power on the phone , wait and . then chose restart to system now when asked

- wait and after reboot , your CSC have change according the sim tray

some peoples do this without remouving the sim tray

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
I'm currently using the Unlocked Note 9 on Verizon and like how little bloatware there is, how smoothly it runs, and the extra Samsung features. By loading a Verizon CSC, does it essentially make the phone run Verizon's firmware? Are you then stuck with the ugly Verizon splash screen and all bloatware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VadimTk:
I followed OP recommendations and flushed with keeping data and applications, it went quite well.

It added quite a bunch of bloatware, like traditional Verizon bloat , plus extra Yahoo apps (Mail, Finance), Yelp and several shady games (like Slots).

All staff beside Verizon apps you can actually uninstall. To disable Verizon apps I use AdHell 3.

In benefit now I have WiFi calling and it feels like the signal in my house is stronger than it was on unlocked firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowxboy:
I dont remember the last time I used Odin so it might be easier/quicker for me to ask for help than to screw up my note 9.

I downloaded the Odin3 v3.13, got the samsung drivers already installed on my windows 10 laptop, and also the 4.9 gb file that the OP shared off the google drive.

So i want to KEEP my existing app/data on my unlocked Note 9, could someone who has already done this post a screenshot or tell me which settings I need enabled (or disabled) on the Odin3 screen? And which files to I need to load (and not load) BL, AL, CP, CSC, USERDATA].

Thank you in advanced!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VadimTk:
DO NOT touch any settings. As for files:

into BL field put: BL_N960USQU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

into: AP: AP_N960USQU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5

into: CP: CP_N960USQU1ARH2_CP10332698_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

into: USERDATA: USERDATA_VZW_N960USQU1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Now, if you want to keep existing app/data

into CSC put: HOME_CSC_OMC_OYN_N960UOYN1ARH2_CL14091849_QB19200668_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Before I attempt this, what is the end result? Is it unlocked firmware with Verizon bloatware?

What happens with OTA updates; will we get Verizon or Unlocked versions and do they undo the CSC?

Does it add a Verizon bootscreen? Does it remove Samsung caller ID and spam block?

Do we end up with the Verizon 4G LTE icons and 5 signal bars?

Given conflicting responses from different setups and what changes, it's hard to tell what to expect so I apologize in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yellowxboy:
I can't answer all those questions but I can tell you what I know after I flashed the Verizon firmware over my unlocked note 9.

Verizon bootscreen: yes

The 4G icons look the same to me, I only have 1 & 2 bars at work and it looks like it could be 5 bars when full. Could be wrong though.

I do not see the Samsung caller ID or spam block anywhere, so my assumption is that it got removed. Could be wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KidJoe:
No, its the Verizon firmware, with Verizon bloat.

I haven't received an OTA yet, so I can't comment...

On the About -> Software Info -> Service Provider SW Ver it shows VZW/VZW/XAA (a real Verzion device shows VZW/VZW/VZW... or when I flashed my Unlocked GS8 using the FULL much longer instructions for flashing and switching carriers per THIS THREAD). I do not know if this will interfere with OTA's or how that will work... I'm on the August patch, I guess it will be a few weeks before the September starts hitting before I will see for myself.

Yes. Yes and Yes.

Yes and Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
I decided to stick with the Unlocked firmware. The only things I miss are video and wifi calling, but can easily use Google Voice for that. The Unlocked firmware is so much less bloated and doesn't give those annoying Verizon pop-ups.

Even being on unlocked firmware, my phone shows "VZW/VZW/XAA". I'm assuming that happened when I inserted my Verizon sim and it said "updating settings for your carrier". Visual voicemail and HD voice are the only things that got added.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yazenaswad:
Has anyone find a way to keep Samsung caller ID after flashing Verizon firmware on unlocked note 9?
