Hi all,
I spent a little bit of time, trying to modify my own SamsungCamera2.apk file to remove the camera shutter sounds.
After looking into this thread, I noticed my camera version is slightly different.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295575
So I extracted the SamsungCamera2.apk from my phone. Renamed the apk to zip file, and modified the *.ogg sound files and replaced them with silent ones. And renamed the zip back to apk. And tried to use ES File Manager to replace the one in System/App.
After replacing, I forgot to change the permissions to 644. So the whole app disappeared from my shortcuts. Now after many restarts, and restores , even the original APK, wont bring back the Camera App.
Does any one know how to restore the Camera App to my phone?
Do I need a real APK decompiler and compiler to make changes to the ogg files?
How do I fix this?
I have my modded APK and the Original APK, both of which do nothing when I place it back to the System/App. Even playing around with the SamsungCamera2.odex file does nothing.
PS: This is on Stock Firmware MEA with CF-AutoRoot applied. This is a i9505.

ok cool. Any ideas on how to apply the mod again?
Am I doing something wrong with the unpacking and packing of APK....
Or I just stuffed up the 644 permissions and lost the camera app and unable to reinstall it without flashing it again with stock?

The CSC to enable the Shutter Sound Menu, doesn't work on MEA. At least not on my XSA - MEA firmware.
The menu comes up, however you cannot select OFF.
Renaming the ogg files within /system/media/ui..... doesn;t work either.
So the ogg files are in the APK. Which I am trying to modify.
Will try to flash stock MEA to restore the Camera app, then try to replace it with the SamsungCamera2.apk again tonight....

Good sry for not helping
Downloaded Font Installer app and it works fine, just that not all applications update with the selected font which I find very annoying. I stupidly made no backup within that app itself, and nandroid doesn't work for me since I'm on MK2 4.3 (locked bootloader), so have no way of restoring a backup.
Is there anything else I can do to get Font Installer uninstalled and then have my stock fonts back available to me (specifically Samsung Sans)? I did a google and found one link where someone replaced files in the system/fonts folder, but the directions were very unclear and I'm not sure what the repercussions would be if that failed to work. Please let me know if you can help me in any way. Currently I selected Roboto in the Font Installer app and default in System settings, so now at least everything is on Roboto, but ideally I'd like to have the app uninstalled completely and get back to Samsung Sans (which is not in the Font Installer list). Thanks for the help.
Anybody? Surely I'm not the first person to ever do this?

Link worked, thanks. Have you tried this yet? Did you use Odin or just copy and paste/replace the files in the system/fonts folder using es file Explorer or something? Not sure what to do next, and if it even works.
Bump. Still would like someone to confirm they've done this, or offer an easier way if known. Thanks.

This is 99.99% thanks to @Nikhil and his awesome TOOL!
1. Download the tool from the bottom of this post. (BE SURE TO THANK NIKHIL PLEASE!!)
2. Extract the zip and put it on your desktop (for easy access).
3. Download the update-binary for our S5 here.
4. Save that file and put it in the same folder as the Flashable Zip Creator.
5. Open the FlashableZipCreator.jar file
6. Top right corner there is "Click here to select update-binary" click on the "Browse" and then select the file you just downloaded from my dropbox.
7. Below that is what you want your flashable to be named, and where you want it to be saved to.
8. Now add a group of APK(s) whether it be system/app APKs or system/privapp APKs.
9. You can also play around and add ringtones, bootanimations, kernels, fonts, and even delete unwanted APKs.
10. Now once done select, at the bottom right, "Create Normal Flashable Zip" or "Create Aroma Flashable Zip".
11. You have just made a flashable

3.0 is still in beta, I tried it but I like the UI of 2.0 better. But yes, it's great I love it, and it's saved me hours of frustration!
So I used APKTool to successfully decompile SystemUI as I wanted to make some small changes. (just some values for things like ambient display)
I then recompiled, signed, and zipaligned it and pushed it to the phone, changed the permissions to r-w-r-r and then replaced the existing SystemUI apk with it. However, it always boots to a black screen.
I also tried just recompiling and same results.
Does anyone know how to successfully recompile and replace SystemUI?

Ask @kenet. As I remember he did the center the clock in systemui.
He should guide you all the way into this imo :good:
Good luck!
Edit: I should try it like this: download his zip for centre the clock, replace systemui with yours, rezip and flash in twrp. Should work assuming you recompiled everything like it should, no? just give it a try.
you need the 3 frameworks installed.
framework-res.apk, framework-res-zpub.apk, framework-zte-res.apk
as they say it is better to use a zip. since deleting the ui the phone will turn black.

Oh, I only used framework-res and framework-zte-res. Thanks!
When I recompile System UI, do I also sign and zipalign it?
yes.
Wow. An actual useful q&a post! Are you sure you don't need help unlocking or flashing magisk?
Hey @kenet I have a different problem now.
So after recompiling, signing, and zipaligning the SystemUI I used a flashable zip like you suggested to replace the System UI. My phone boots now without a black screen, but there is no System UI which means no status bar and recents. The permissions on the apk file are correct (644). Can you tell me what I did wrong?

As to what you (@lafester) say: I think someone has to make an index thread with the first 3 posts referring to the U, G, and chinese, with separate info on what stuff to use for each. Everything would've been much easier if they made 3 different sections for each, like on many other phones (although on other phones the variants have different names, like 'titan' for Moto g 2 without 4G, and 'thea' for the one with 4G)
which tool is the one you are using?
What modification do you want to make?
I use APK-Multi-Tool-master with update jar.

I use APK Tool 2.3.0. What I do is recompile, then zipalign, push it to /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE and finally chmod 0644. As far as I know this is all correct, but my phone still either boots without a system UI or a black screen.
@kenet can you please tell me step by step exactly everything you do? I would really appreciate it.
The modifications I want to make:
-Ambient Display
-AOSP Wi-Fi and data indicators
-Black quicksettings
-AOSP Power menu with reboot bootloader and recovery options
-Remove NFC and Carrier label from status bar
-Remove recents clear all toast
-Double tap lockscreen to sleep
-Double tap power button for camera
-Clock centered in the status bar.
Yes it's a lot but this for a ROM I'm making.
There are many modifications, you have to look one by one and go installing.
Gives you error with any modification?
What is it? aosp or sock?

Stock. I tired just enabling ambient display in books.xml before making any other modifications.
It is possible that the ambient display does not go well in mifavor.
Let me look at him and tell him to see if the same thing happens to you.
I think the framework-res.apk must also edit the bools.xml
I feel my bad English.

I checked framework-res.apk and Settings.apk and ambient display is already enabled. It's only disabled in the SystemUI bools.xml

doze_pulse_on_notifications=false

Hey all my fellow T-Mobile users with T-Mobile branded Note 8's ! I'm writing up this guide for folks who (post root) want to "Un-Carrier" their Note 8.
This guide aims to be relatively Noob friendly, it is also hands on....teach a person to fish.....OK that said set aside a little time and follow along.
Note (no pun) ....you will need a root explorer app (I use Root Explorer)
Here we go:
Removing T-Mobile boot screen banner:
We'll use the "stock image" So navigate with your root explorer to /system/media and
copy the files "bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg"
Then navigate to /system/omc/TMB/res/media and paste (overwrite) the files in there. Done ......Reboot now to see change or move on to other
changes and reboot later.
Removing T-Mobile boot jingle
I've uploaded a "silent" boot jingle....totally silent. For this guide we'll assume you choose this file. Download and copy the PowerOn.ogg to a
location easy to find on phone. Then navigate with your root explorer app to the file you downloaded. Next copy the file then navigate
to /system/omc/res/media/audio/ui and paste/overwrite the file there. Done Enjoy silent boot.
Caller ID and Spam Protection
Using your root explorer Navigate to /system/omc/TMB and find the file "cscfeature.xml" and back it up (can just rename to cscfeature.xml.bak).
Then copy the file cscfeature.xml from this post to that same location and then set the permissions for the file (Long press file tile highlit, then
press 3 dots top right and select permissions) (this is the method in the Root Explorer app to bring up permissions menu) set permissions to 0644 followed by a reboot
and Done, go to phone app press 3 dots top right, go to settings and toggle on the "Caller ID and spam protection" switch. And/or Call Recording
ENJOY probably more to come eventually

So here's the "New" CSCFeature.xml that will allow you to enable [Caller ID and Spam Protection] and [Call Recording] thanks to @mdiaz33685 for the s8 csc file which helped this whole process. Again using a Root Explorer app navigate to /system/omc/TMB and rename your current cscfeature.xml to "cscfeature.xml.bak" then copy this file from its location into the folder (/system/omc/TMB) and set the permissions to 0644 Reboot and enjoy YOUR phone.

Device Information on Notification pulldown and Lockscreen (Colors)
POST UPDATED 11/28/2017
WARNING: THIS SYSTEMUI.APK WAS MADE FOR/ON SAMFAIL VS.1 (DEODEXED)
I DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT IT WORKS WITH SAMFAIL VS2.5 (DEODEXED)
This mod will add device information to your phone.
To add this mod we will need to "replace" your SystemUI.apk. So first step (recommended/optional) Backup your current SystemUI.apk, to do that we'll (using root explorer) navigate to /system/priv-app/ scroll down to folder named SystemUI and in there we are going to copy the (current) SystemUI.apk and paste it to you external or internal sdcard root directory (for easy locating) in case you have to adb push it back etc.
Now that we're backed up let's get to it! The zip file posted is NOT flashable, download and unzip it to phone or pc select your color provided here and copy the SystemUI.apk from the color choice folder (with root explorer) to /system/priv-app/ (At This Point copy it into the "root" of priv-app not into the SystemUI folder just yet0........once you have pasted it scroll down to the file (will be right below the folder of the same name) long press the SystemUI.apk and select "permissions" from the 3 dot menu (top right corner) and set permissions to 0644. Once permissions are set correctly long press the apk again and this time select "Cut" (scissor icon) and now move it into the Folder "SystemUI" overwriting the original file. After that just reboot and enjoy.
****Note at this time on lockscreen when screen wakes you'll see device info at bottom, and a second later the lock icon and unlock dialogue text will appear, haven't fixed that yet so work in progress. Also in notification panel 1st down swipe shows carrier branding among the device info (squeezed between lines) 2nd stage swipe down of notification panel re-hides carrier label.

Btw This 'Root' is Root, not Bootloader Unlock/Recovery unlock, so if like me you enjoy root access to make those small custom changes including Viper, Adaway, SPAM call protection etc then you may want to consider SamFail Root as I did[/SIZE]
Oh BTW this guide aims to be relatively Noob friendly, it is also hands on....teach a person to fish.....OK that said set aside a little time and follow along.
Note (no pun) ....you will need a root explorer app (I use Root Explorer)
Here we go:
First, a couple of my thoughts on this Very Welcome Root (Thanks SamFail Team Members/Contributers)
The 80% Battery Charge Limit...................This varies, meaning factually if you power off your device and then boot to download mode and keep it there (while plugged in) your rooted Note 8 will continue to charge (slower than fast charge though). I did this last night and started the day with 100% battery. Of course that is not optimal, however it is there and can be done.
Removing T-Mobile boot screen banner:
We'll use the "stock image" So navigate with your root explorer to /system/media and
copy the files "bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg"
Then navigate to /system/omc/TMB/res/media and paste (overwrite) the files in there. Done ......Reboot now to see change or move on to other
changes and reboot later.
Removing T-Mobile boot jingle
I've uploaded a "silent" boot jingle....totally silent. For this guide we'll assume you choose this file. Download and copy the PowerOn.ogg to a
location easy to find on phone. Then navigate with your root explorer app to the file you downloaded. Next copy the file then navigate
to /system/omc/res/media/audio/ui and paste/overwrite the file there. Done Enjoy silent boot.
Identify SPAM CallsSpent all day figuring this one out !!!
Using your root explorer Navigate to /system/omc/TMB and find the file "cscfeature.xml" and back it up (can just rename to cscfeature.xml.bak).
Then copy the file cscfeature.xml from this post to that same location and then set the permissions for the file (Long press file tile highlit, then

Install flashfire then open app select Flash Zip option.....navigate to the zip file and load it, then check the system rw option then press flash and sit back...it will power off phone, load flashfire, flash file then reboot...takes about 2 minutes.

Ok so works out of speaker but not through Bluetooth or headphones...any ideas?
Don't forget to also flash deep buffer removal zip. That will let 3rd party apps like google music and spotify use Viper.

Baller this method does work for Verizon. Just replace the csfeatures in the VZW folder not tmb for Verizon. Thank you so much everyone!

This also brings back Samsung cloud to my Verizon variant. It also brings the Samsung diagnostics to my variant. As a side note, my phone was bought directly from verizon, but I flashed it with the unlocked firmware I then rooted with the new method with no csc. Thanks everyone for getting this to work, I'd bet this works for every US carrier. Do you mind if I post this in the Verizon Note 8 Thread?

Lou does call recording work for you? I can't get mine to actually record? Everything else works as advertised, thank you for this everyone. It's ****ed how the US carriers strip these features out.
