Damn great job on this work you have put onto this. The battery has been outstanding and goodlock is back and added navbar tweaks fyi. Just a question before I take the ten steps for safestrap is the dual speaker mod zip working and is the universal init.d installer working or should I use the rootless method? Ps the fireaudio and viper4android still does not work for me has anyone had luck with viper4android?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
There is a new dual speaker mod that SamGuy2020 posted as the other things you mentioned they are not possible without root

I honestly think this phone could use a custom ROM or two. LineageOS would be nice. I don't see us getting Q, tbh.

[MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION], do we still need the "Netflix fix" zip with the latest mods? Or was that still not fixed in the updates?

Some need it some don’t. It depends on if your carrier limits your streaming abilities

I'm trying to update to the latest Pie build. I'm stuck, though. When I try to flash into safestrap, it boots into recovery or gets stuck at the Galaxy S8+ logo.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it somehow.

Beta 3 ZSC2 build for s8+ in OP. As usual I cant' get anyone on pie beta to pull pie beta for update for s8. I really cannot believe this. Oh well I have s8+ so I really dont care but the want want attitude followed by the do nothing actions speak volumes of the kind of people anymore. I have had like 5 people on discord tell me they would pull update but it requires them to start over and update from oreo but apparently this is too much to ask of people. So s8 people I feel for you. Sorry for the rant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] Parkourkid93:
I wouldn't be able to since I'm going to Cali this weekend & need a daily driver, but after that I'm deff down to roll back & pull updates for the S8 if needed since we have twrp on U5 now, I wasn't able to register for the beta though (if required). But if that's not an issue then I'm down, I just need steps on how to do so.

Ok you realize this u1 firmware not carrier firmware. You can probably get that stuff by taking the csc features xml files from carrier firmware and replace the ones in the U1 firmware with the ones from the carrier U firmware. I do this for Verizon but I don’t have Att so I cannot test for them

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tommy_riley:
I do realize it's the unlocked firmware, but I was under the impression that carrier specific builds no longer really mattered in Pie - that all the functionality would be built in for all the carriers per region the unlocked phones were released in. I'm not really interested in the carrier boot logo, if it does indeed carry over to the unlocked builds, but the core functionality that is different between the various carriers is what I was looking for.

I've seen others report on Pie Beta builds for other unlocked phones (I don't recall where I read this at the moment), where if you put in a T-Mobile SIM the T-mobile logo comes up on boot, and T-mobile specific features / apps are shown, ditto for AT&T and so on...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Nothing has changed on u1 firmware between oreo and pie as far as carrier features so if they didn’t work on oreo they probably won’t on pie either. I told you what to do to get them to work. I will make a test zip you can try

Sent using some kind of device I modified
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] tommy_riley:
This is good info (that nothing has changed).

I forgot to mention thank you for the instructions on how to potentially add in the carrier functionality. I thought to myself I may/may not be able to do this...if I know exactly what I'm looking for in the CSC files --- I have not cracked open these files and scoped them out in detail before so I wasn't sure what the lift/technical prowess would be to do this task.

That is super generous of you to make a test zip!

I had previously offered to help test out builds for you, my post is buried many pages back in this thread now, so I'd be more than willing to give this some time and give you feedback on what I see if you do create a test zip.

Much appreciated...

Awesomesauce - can I just flash this on top of my existing ZSBB install on my unlocked S8+ or should I bump up to ZSC2 first? And if I can just flash it, will it wipe my data? If not, I can do it here at work, otherwise i'll have to wait till I get home this evening so I can back up some stuff.

Is there any process I need to follow to get visual voicemail to appear in Google Dialer? I know it wasn't exactly doable with Verizon unless you paid extra for VVM. Same with T-Mobile and MetroPCS, but I'm actually paying for the value bundle this time which includes it. I'd prefer to have it in my dialer instead of a separate app or text message.

You Sir are a steely-eyed missile man, just go ahead and knock it out of the park on your first try why don't ya?

I'm on AT&T prepaid...AT&T prepaid finally started letting people use WiFI calling and VoLTE just this past February. However, AT&T still sticks to their stupid policy of only allowing those features on AT&T branded phones with a few exceptions (IPhone, Pixel, Essential, and a few others)...

There are only a select few who have an unlocked Samsung phone on AT&T prepaid (or postpaid) who have been able to get these features to work. This was great work requiring modified builds and setting up the features on a phone with an approved IMEI prior to using it in the unlocked phone...

Two things I'm noticing as off/disabled:

1. IMS registration status in the About > Status screen says not registered (but I amstill able to place VoLTE calls).

2. "eab/presence provisioned"in the *#*#4636#*#* menu is disabled and I cannot enable it - the rest are all enabled.

Are these items configurable in the CSC file?

I really dont know as I have verizon so that is carrier controlled by verizon. You may be able to use safestrap on goto efs/carrier and edit the hidden menu from off to on and set permissions to 0755 and that may let *#*#4636#*#* work or try this View attachment RomControl.apk and goto phone settings/phone testing menu and you may be able too toggle in there

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] jrkruse:
Safestrap is made to survive and image flash so when installing safestrap it sets aside the files then injects them back as a safety feature so you don’t loose it the only bad thing is if its an older version it overwrites the newer version thats in the current image. So most of my stuff is synchronized with the same safestrap. So what were you running that had older safestrap because my nougat has newer safestrap as well as all my orher stufff. I guess I need to post the safestrap zips cause this will happen if going back to nougat you will have to flash nougat safestrap or every boot woll automatically boot straight to safestrap. So did the mods zip work now?
