CSC Feature edit on S9 - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,
What is the way to edit/add CSC feature on S9?
Seems like somewhere Samsung introduced new way of doing it and files are encrypted.
Did some reading here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/guide-omc-manipulation-tips-tricks-t3776633
But there must be a simple way of adding some custom CSC codes?
I'm on stock BRGA version and looking to add Call Recording + maybe some other features too.
Already have Magisk and Xposed if required and TWRP in the back.
Please hint me in what to do. Seems like ROM chiefs have some way and I'm just blind that didn't find it yet.
Thanks!

Dude, seriously? If you don't see what's wrong with your question then you shouldn't be playing
with those things. Lot's of reading and learning must you do, hmmm?
Yoda
okay, slightly dickish answer sorry.
you need certain abilities enabled at the kernel/driver level for some of the things you want
to do. which maybe be as relatively simple as patching kernel source and rebuilding or may require
rev-eng'ing proprietary drivers/binaries additionally.
you may be better served to researched a device more naturally endowed with these capabilities,
alternately a device with usb-otg support so you can use a dongle device proven to be
capable of these tasks.
ommmm
So because i used custom rom, this apps does not working?

sort of yes/no because the custom rom contains the software and the kernel is a custom build
it does not necessarily mean that your hardware is capable [meaning the device's capability, the kernel
having the necessary code and if there are proprietary/prebuilt source code unavailable/ binaries and firmware
support files which need to be hacked/engineered.
find out the device id of your wifi hardware and search it's id/name along with the function you are trying to perform.
for example
bcm4334 monitor mode
use the search engine that works for you, read carefully and fully and get yourself trained to follow trails of related/seemingly related
information, no matter how obscure.
good luck, may the schwartz be with you ! :silly:

S20 FE missing AOD transition animation between AOD and lock screen

Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm on the XSA CSC running December security patch (OneUI 2.5) and it does not have the animation. I've also received reports that OneUI 3.0 still doesn't have the animation for some reason (from Reddit), and it seems like a strange omission to me considering the phone has the specs to be more than capable of it. If you are not sure what I mean, check this video:
https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/dz36e8
(screen recording taken from Galaxy S10 on OneUI 2.0)
Thanks
Is it a bug or did they decide just not to have it?
I'm using the OneUI 3.0 and don't have the animations... Samsung is kidding us with the S20 FE?

Seems like a bug to me, it doesn't make sense that they would choose not to include it as it's a fairly small thing and a whole range of devices have it including the "budget" S10e from last year.

Thats exacly my problem too. I don't think this is a bug, because it's very noticable... this was a problem in 2.5, And I am in one ui 3, and this is Still a problem.... I don't understand samsung....
Nothing new, Samsung has removed it from a couple of "lite" (or in this case, FE) variants. It can be added with root by editing a file in vendor called floating feature. Doubt Samsung would re-add it, but who knows.
Btw, I'm talking about the Note 10 Lite, it doesn't have it by default either.

I made my own little tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsung-galaxy-a71-working-mods.4173295/
But to jump straight into this edit in question, it's the following:
The floating_features.xml file in question can be located in system(root)/vendor/etc
Add AOD to lockscreen clock animation:
Note: This only works on OneUI 2.5, does not work on OneUI 2.1 and below for A71.
Search for the following line in floating_features:
Code:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM>
Add clocktransition in this line, like this:
<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM>aodversion=7,clearcoveroff,clocktransition</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_AOD_ITEM>
Save and reboot. Done, there will be an added animation from AOD to lockscreen clock.

Nice thank you heaps for this!!! I'm just curious, is there any way to edit this file without root and retain Knox 0x0? I suppose not since it's a file located in vendor, but can't hurt to ask!

I've looked but so far I haven't seen that it's possible. Mainly because you can't mount system/vendor as read-write without root, even with adb. I personally don't know of a way.

hi, i did everything you wrote, but i can't save the floating feature xml on my phone. I tried to edit it on my PC, but then when i pasted it to the correct folder replacing the old one, it just magically recovered to it's old version, not including my edited lines, without any error message... What can i do?

Oh, i'm using Root Browser, and when i tried to save the edit on that, It said "Error saving edit" or something like that... do i need a permission of some kind?
sorry for spamming. I found out the problem. I didn't know what rooting the phone is. Now i know, and im not in that level to take care of a rooted phone, I just wanted a cool animation

Hi, I just had a thought come to me, would it be possible to modify the stock firmware file that is flashed in Odin (the AP .tar file) with the edited version of floating_feature.xml, stored in vendor.img? Would this flash successfully and maintain Knox 0x0? Or would it see the slightly modified AP file as a custom binary and thus void Knox?

Your second assessment is correct, just unpacking and repacking AP detects it as custom firmware and therefore would trip Knox.
This is a very weird thing in the sense that a Galaxy M31 (which is a very low-mid range phone) has that animation enabled and also it runs OneUI Core

they better not disable the cameras when unlocking the bootloader like the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3
Arobase40 said:
About bloatwares there are many threads on XDA and on the internet explaining how to remove Google and Samsung bloatwares with adb command with many lists of apps you can remove or disable by yourself.
For rooting and at present time there is only one way to do it and it's all explained in my tutorial you can find here :
UPDATED : How to root Galaxy A52S 5G (SM-A528B)
Deleted
forum.xda-developers.com
You can find the latest magisk-v24.0.apk in post #174 so skip the one I posted in OP...
For optimization, as this is a new phone and as no one can propose the kind of optimizations you expect and as rooting is "experimental", you have to do optimizations by yourself... ^^
By "experimental root" I meant root is actually working fine, BUT Magisk is going on a new way as Magisk Hide is missing or not working as it should !!!
I did explain all this in my tutorial.
There is no TWRP available yet for this phone and thus no custom ROM either... ^^

Why dont you try an GSI of android 12 that might work out but then no root or optimizations
Arobase40 said:
This has been fix with my tutorial and @beanbean50 confirms he rooted his Galaxy Fold 3 with his camera working.
I have seen this term many times but still don't understand the meaning of GSI... ^^
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
GSI means Generic System Image. These kind of ROMs work on any device running android 8.0 or higher and support A-Only or A/B partitions.
Advantages
Faster Updates
No TWRP Needed (Only Fastboot Needed or Odin in Samsung Phones)
Disadvantages
Only 95% of the gsi may work
There might be a lot of bugs and issues

no dependancies twrp to custom rom (one can be created without other and vice versa) , indeed are several recovery (lineage,pitch black, orage fox) for custom rom , theoretically could be installed by odin. telephone is not so new (august 2021), has chipset 778 (febraury 2021) . Samsung UI , it's heavy and with some bugs or limitataion (randomly camera not working with bl unlocked, call reacording not enabled if you dont' flash uae rom). You explain so many , many works that custom rom can resolve with snap. That's why good Custom rom always better than other 10000 tiny, boring and time spendig jobs

NOPE !!!
You thought I didn't test Zygist before posting the different variants of Magisk till Magisk v24 ??? lol
Magisks post v23 were mostly written for the Oppo, Xiaomi and then Nexus/Pixel devices, but Samsung Galaxy devices were not taking into account in the devs's priority if not at all !
I follow most of the discussions in the development of the Magisk forks and no one even owns a Samsung devices or even care about Samsung.
There was a bug in Magisk v23 that causes bootloop in most newer Android devices (a fstab story) and instead of simply patching Magisk, they decided to take Magisk all apart with a fork for Oppo, another one for Xiaomi and then one for the Nexus/Pixel all with a different philosophy... Instead of Magisk Hide which was removed, then created new concepts of "Deny List" and/or "White list" but which work differently from the previous Magisk Hide !!!
Zygist doesn't work, or at least not with the Samsung Galaxy !!!
- First, it disables riru framework and EdXposed/LSposed modules and thus all modules based on them won't work anymore such as XprivacyLua, Firefds Kit and some others... Only AfWall++ continues working...
- Then, once rooted with magisk with Zygist on, I couldn't get any protected Samsung apps working such as Secure Folder, Samsung Health is working only partly as I can run it once but I can't access to it anymore unless I reboot the phone. Samsung Health is working in the background as I can see its notification and the number of steps I walked during the day (...), but once again I can't access to the inner of the apps and I don't have access to the health parameters... Samsung Pay also won't work and others I don't use...
ATM I'm still fighting with Android studio to understand how I can build my own Magisk app for the Samsung Galaxy devices...

But you need to build TWRP with the source code from the Galaxy A52S 5G specifically as TWRP for the A52 5G won't work on our device !!! I also tried different TWRP from other brands/models with the same SOC but again they do NOT work !
Then you are confusing between so many things which are not related with TWRP or custom rom such as "camera not working with bl unlocked", call recording and so on...
Many bla bla bla, but what can you do for the community ??? ^^ SIC
Are you able to build a TWRP for the A52S 5G or can you build a custom rom for the same device ???

i know the basics (like regions, OTA Updates, bloatwares, wiping & keeping User data etc) but i want to know for What functionalities/operations in the device they are responsible for ?
are they responsible for giving regional base functionalities in the phone ? like Screen and call recording in some regions are allowed while in others not, likewise z-RAM or some camera features or even some hardware functions can also be enabled/disabled by them ?
Thanks Please...!!
Here's a csc (decoded) from note 10+ android 9
You'll need root to perform these edits
And yes, you can edit features such as call spam/id, call recording etc

Question How to allow VoLTE/VoWIFI on my P6P in non-supported country?

I am really interested in using my P6P which is sitting for months in my drawer, because I am unable to use VoLTE/VoWIFI in my country (Slovakia). This is crucial to me and to my work. I don't care that much about 5G as coverage is big enough.
I have been reading some articles and threads, but I don't have the crucial questions answered, so I will give it a try here:
1. Do I need to root device to enable the two options I am asking in first place?
2. If I will root it, will I be able to use the Company Portal, Gpay and banking apps?
3. Can I update new versions of Android when my phone is rooted? I assume it would have to be done via sideload not via OTA.
4. Can anyone point me to proper thread which will lead me through the process in achieving all this successfuly?
Thank you.
There's a custom with custom avb key (this means you can relock bootloader after Rom install) that has VoLTE tweak enabled for unsupported country within the Rom. 5G is also tweaked to be enabled.
And after that, future update is via sideloading in recovery mode, no need to re-unlock bootloader
Go check out the Rom in telegram here https://t.me/hentaiOSRaviole
That seems like custom ROM - I am not really interested in that. I prefer it as stock as possible.
I only found this.But it's only for Chinese ISP(and it works fine for me) . It's a magisk module which modify mbn_sw.txt to enable VoLTE for Chinese Operators .
GitHub - CHN-MuXin/MagiskModuleEnableChinaForVoTELtoPIxel: This module will modify mbn_sw.txt to enable VoLTE for Chinese Operators . Theoretical support for all Pixel models and Android versions

Yup. Custom ROM but no additional features like other custom ROM. Their aim is just to improve the stock ROM.
