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:

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

Does anyone have the sound flushable zip for any of the korean companies? SK telecom preferred.
This is for the note 3 n900t variant only.
Didn't expect this. Anyway, I have the LTE-A X3 animation (extracted from my SK Telecom-branded Note 4) and the newer band LTE animation (extracted from the stock SKT Note 5 firmware). Tell me which one you need, and I'll upload the link.
P.S: All of these will probably only work on stock firmware, due to their .qmg format. If you want to use them in AOSP-based ROMs, you have to convert them yourself.

Do you by any chance still have the animations? I have a Galaxy S6 and I'm looking for the new Band LTE animation and couldn't find it anywhere. I have the One UI rom installed but I hope that it's possible to get the boot animation working on it!

Still got it, here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hbwdd1ImPl1EleLbYpkiDTQrZHPEYgpb
This is not a flashable zip, so you need to manually unzip the file to /system/media and replace said files. Not sure whether this will work on One UI ROMs, so make a backup just in case.

There are a few custom ROMs for A7 2017 32GB model (A720F), you can find them here on XDA.
But I suggest care, there's talk the latest official firmware version blocks customization...
TWRP for example will cause a system lock and your phone can end up a nice paperweight (brick).
Also, don't block OEM RESET (always Allow Oem Reset in Developer options) if you use root / customs.
Samsung security may get you a FRP LOCK should you want to reflash.
Odin won't help if you need to downgrade to an older version (like a backup).
Fixes for such a situation are difficult at the moment.
I'm facing it right now and don't know if my phone will be back up and running again
ODIN'd a Stock Recovery and CP ROM, let's see in some hours!

Hummm!
Current situation: FRP lock.
Phone won't get off the boot logo (white screen, "Powered by Android") and FRP/OEM lock are in effect.
I relly shouldn't have fiddle with the new "Directional Lock" feature - Wich can't be disabled, btw.
For anyone in the same situation, pc tricks zone has some remedy but not for A720 at the moment.
I should also point that tutorial videos show an anti-virus alert they claim to be a false positive, but I don't know
- Can't be sure for I didn't try it, but one can't be too cautious. The tool (ADB enabler for FRP) was clean here, says Avira.
But I'm still stuck with ADB/sideload disabled, the stock ROM I found on updato is in ZIP format, useless for ODIN and ADB-e.
ROM files can't simply be converted from ZIP to TAR, they must be cooked - With a "kitchen" tool and a lot of proper knowledge that I, a simple noob/leecher, don't have.
So until finding a TAR file for stock Android 7 (Rev 2) I'm denied access to my US$400 phone just cause Samsung says so.
[A little rant, if I may]
Thanks Samsung will (greed) to enter the digital payment market and enforce security, I, a simple home user who likes the cool mods, debloated systems, freedom and privacy of a custom ROM, (not to mention A720 camera software sucks,) am locked out of my (theirs?) phone. Not buying Sammy again...

Right, Elite was first I saw a few months back. Not much custom, just stock with a few adjustments,
but thanks the guy who gave us at least that.
Considering A7 is the worst snapper phone I saw so far and it is not even mentioned in Samsung's USA support site,
nobody will care to develop, I guess.

Thanks for sharing this. I currently use T-Mobile in the US. Have you tested the ROM with the T-Mobile carrier and do the added ADC files affect anything while using T-Mobile (VoLTE, HD Voice, etc)?
I have partially been following another forum that was working to boot loader unlock the Idol 4s for Windows 10 mobile. I don't think this ROM was a result of that, but do you know of any other news?

No, I have not tested it. I have IDOL4S Open from Microsoft.
You can mention that there is a provxml file to install Yandex.Search.appxbundle in the IDOL4S_6071W_F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM_10.0.15 254.490_Custom ROM. It is not in the T-Mobile ROM though.
This is a useful scenario too for some of us who might want to Edit the registry on the IDOL 4s outside of the current changes in these ROMs. Mount the bin file save the edits and flash the changes. Do you know if making changes such as reg edits would require an altered or updated rawprogram0.xml? Thanks.

I am having an issue on the custom ROMs being able to sign in with my Microsoft account while setting up the phone. It either locks up/freezes the set up process, or fails. I think it fails while checking account info and it never pulls the backups to restore. Ultimately the account will be signed in but can only move forward after skipping the step entirely to be able to set up the rest of the phone.
Is this just me or have you noticed an issue?

It's not a bug, but a feature Only in custom ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail. Associated with reset protection packets. They are in this firmware test. So it will be with the official ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail, if you update it above 15063.2.

I'm sorry I did not word that so you understood. I meant why is your custom ROM set as an older firmware? The fw revision of the T-Mobile firmware is older than the official production one on most phones. I am assuming you used this version to customize a ROM for some reason.

Well yes of course! One would have their work cut out for them if they did not have to manually build those items into a ROM on their own. Was hoping maybe you had plans to incorporate those items into an updated or different firmware if possible. One that would allow restoring of a backup, and had reset protections bugs fixed . No worries about that though, was only wishful thinking.

Ok I will try it out again. I thought I tried to restore a backup on Both ROMs and failed to with the same bug.
For some reason on the Open market Custom ROM the ndtk packages are not active after flashed or not working. Maybe it is just me but I can't edit the registry, enable Interop services or full file system access from Interop Tools until I send the packages again even though they are there. Plus I have to make other changes to it as well for T-mobile nvi settings.

New Issues on Idol 4S using custom ROM
Installed TMOUS version of this custom ROM (Thank you OP for your efforts!) on August 8 and was delighted to uninstall the remaining VR apps. As nate0 posted earlier, I couldn't sign in during the initial setup, and was not able to restore earlier backups as expected. Phone is TMOUS retail locked (so far - longtime TMO customer awaiting billing cycles on this phone for unlock code).
Since then M$ has updated the OS build to 10.0.15254.527. Things keep breaking faster than I can keep track of - and not sure which are a function of 1) the custom ROM, 2) the Idol 4S, or 3) Microsoft desire to chase us away. New issues include:
Amazon - crashes at launch
Microsoft Wallet (v. 2.3.17311.0) - allowed me to scan 1 loyalty card successfully, then refuses to recognize/scan codes,
"CameraAccessDenied" error message
Flashlight (v. 4.0.0.0 Sakariya) - no longer can turn led on/off (Flashlight XT still works fine)
People (v. 10.2.2001.1000) - live tile stopped working after about a week, can't get it to work at all anymore
Translator (v. 4.8.7.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then remove, disable/enable to restore function for another day
Microsoft Store - (v. 11807.1001.13.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then same as Translator
My Library this morning shows about 1/3 of my apps that were listed last week ???
As title suggests I'm not happy at all with UI 2.5 which has destroyed my battery and SoT and lost some other features I really liked for my SM-G988B S20 Ultra Exynos model .
Can anyone help with the latest official f/w for UI 2.1 built number code to download it and flash it from Sammobile?
Thanks in advance for any help

You can't downgrade bootloader (bl). It's a mission impossible.
So I think that it won't work.
Please let me know if you are able to downgrade to one ui 2.1

That firmware is bootloader v4 and I don't think there is any v5 yet is there? So it should work fine

It is v4 and it worked just fine without triggering the knox.. Did a smart switch & samsung account backup before I downgrade at the version I mentioned (latest before UI 2.5 that is) and everything works just fine. I already feel the difference in battery life.. /sigh
Will probably stay here until UI 3.0 if I don't see any other important feature added. Only some camera features I'll miss but battery is the most important thing and I'm not willing to sacrifice an hour or two of SoT for UI 2.5
Thanks all for your help

I used G988BXXS4ATGB/G988BOXM4ATGB (EUR for GR) with security patch 2020-08-01 as I previously mentioned and it didn't stuck at anything.. Passed w/o triggering the knox of course and works like a charm.
Already feel the difference in battery life as I mentioned. Used the standard flash procedure I changed nothing
I read that One UI 5.0 is released for S7 Plus in Europe. Lets discuss links and other options on how to flash it.
I am updating right now from Spain
Weirdly, Frija still shows Android 12 as the latest version. Anybody know which CSC I can use to download the latest full version for odin?
EUX shows Android 13
EUX,XEF, DBT, PHE,AUT... for T976B

Thank you for this. Flashed it after reading this. Working flawlessly.
For those who have already installed it, can you tell me if all the Good Lock modules are still working? In particular, I'm using the larger 10 x 7 Home Screen grid that's only available in HomeUp. I'd appreciate if someone can check if this still works under OneUI 5.0 on the S7+ ?

All Good Lock modules are updated to One ui 5,You just have to install the update after updating to One UI5, worth the redundancy.
I can concur, updated to One UI 5.0 (Android 13) and all seems uber stable and no loss of functionality.
Just received the update on my S7+ in the US. Installing now.
Still no update for my unlocked Fold4 though...

Same, nothing for my ZF4 yet. Not really convinced there's much benefit to OneUI 5.0 on the Tab S7+ so not sure it's such a big deal the ZF4 is laggging a bit.
I installed One UI 5.0 on my regular Tab S7 (11 inch, EUX) and have to admit that I am very dissapointed. Samsung promised way more fluent animations, no annoying start-up lags anymore and an overall improvement in System stability. Non of that happens to be the case. My Tablet feels more laggy, compared to One UI 2.5/3.1.1. Even the Android Easter egg only gets shown on one side instead of full screen, which seems to be bug (No the pictures are not edited)
In my opinion, they rushed this update too fast, so that they can prove the point of releasing updates quicker than ever before now.
I will try out two things this week:
1) Reset the Tablet and see how it performs with 5.0 being freshly, clean installed
2) Downgrade to One UI 3.1, which, for me, was the last update that really changed something noticabely on my Tablet.
I miss those older days (2016-2020 especially), when new Android versions really changed things and introduced cool new stuff. Nowadays, I feel like we're stuck with the same Design and the same features with little to no changes after all.

Android 12 was a big one. But yeah, I also noticed the Easter egg. It doesn’t even work.
Hi all,
I found myself opening a lot of tabs on XDA to figure out on how to upgrade my Tab S7+ Wifi - SM-T970 to newer Firmware versions while retaining Root (magisk). This is why I made myself a short guide. Then I decided to share it with you and the short guide went from short to medium sized.
I hope it helps. (The resources/drivers/programs I used can be found at the bottom of this comment. (no links, but Google will help you out)
Firmware Upgrade Guide Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ | SM-T970 | CSC:EUX | while keeping/retaining Magisk Root.
1.Download Latest firmware on PC via Frija (CSC:EUX & Model:SM-T970 for me)
2.Extract ZIP Open extracted directory and delete ZIP.(I like to keep a clean overview, so optional)
3.In the directory you find BL, AP, CP, CSC & HOME_CSC files. If you use the Wifi only version of the Tablet, you can remove the CP file.
This leaves the BL file (should be left untouched), AP file & CSC & HOME_CSC files.
Choose one of the two CSC files to keep.
4.a. Want to Keep your data? Use Home_CSC....tar.md5 file using ODIN, other file can be removed.
4.b. Factory reset? Use other CSC file instead.
5.Move (not copy, but move) AP file (AP......tar.md5) to Tablet and patch whole file in Magisk (I am using the latest Canary Magisk version)
When this is done, move the patched AP file called magisk_patchedsomethingsomething back to the first extracted directory (step 2) AP-file name does not matter.
Connect tablet to PC with USB.
Using Terminal in ADB directory, use " adb devices" to check if PC can find tablet when tablet operates normally. Use command " adb reboot download" to boot the tablet directly into download mode.
Open ODIN (no settings need to be adjusted in ODIN other than selecting the correct files)
In ODIN,
Select AP ---select ---> magisk_patched.#######.tar
Select BL ---> BL_####.tar.md5
Select CSC ---> HOME_CSC_####.tar.md5
OR use CSC_####.tar.md5 if factory reset is required
Click Start. Wait. And enjoy!
