I'm using Rods MIUI rom Rusty, what about you? Any ideas why I can't see UK apps in the Market? All apps come up either as:
~$PRICE
or
US$PRICE
Nothing at all for UK :-(
Ah, intesting.
I presume you've got your location/languages set right? I assume it's defaults are probably not UK English.

Browser (web) when I checked locales shows as en-gb just did a basic test with a PHP script, not sure what else to check?
The English setting (if I select it) e.g. without Locale / MoreLocale goes to United States, How can you default the entire android system locales to UK?
Pop into the Keyboard & Language settings and see what the current language is. English UK is the one you'd want to be on, I presume.

Yea this is the problem matey, I go into that select English it makes it US english? Nothing in there for UK?
Ah yes, that is a problem then. I guess the folks de-Chineseifying MIUI (or the MIUI creators) haven't added UK support.

People are using that Locales application that did change it to United Kingdom when I viewed Keyboard settings etc but it seems rather a pseudo method than a real locale change to the android sub-system! :-(
Any ideas?
Hello everyone！
Some models have been upgraded to Android N, but some have not been upgraded. I believe everyone can not sit still, and I hope to pursue the latest version of Android. Here I provide ways to modify the N that can run perfectly on A710K and modify the ODIN brush pack. (to see the A710K of ROM, please pull down directly)
First, you need a computer, you use a Samsung mobile phone baseband (in the package, the name is modem.bin), brush a N package, but requires hardware parameters to be the same, I have a piece of software.
The first step is to prepare tools. (finally, I'll provide the way to download the software.)
The second step, unzip the N ROM package system.img, boot.img, if you want a country carrier file, please extract it. It is called Cache.img, and four sets of ROM packages (including AP, CP, CSC, BL) in the CSC file, one package (including all brush files) can be seen directly in the compressed package.
Open my software and drag your prepared modem.bin, system.img, boot.img, and cache.img into the big white box.
Third steps：click“开始打包”.Save the file and wait for it to be processed.Have a cup of tea and have a rest.
In the fourth step, ODIN brushes into your saved files.
Enjoy
P.S:This approach should support all hardware models, but do not support A7, A5's Chinese version. A3 users can use the A5 brush packs because they are configured identically. A7 please do not use A5 and A3 brush packs, otherwise there will be huge BUG.
A8 2016 please man

Has A310F been upgraded to N? Looks like I need a good deal of attention. Without any changes, you will need only the same type of other hardware (such as A310510710) of the package of system.img, boot.img and you are using mobile phone modem.bin to use my software together, you can use the ODIN brush into the.

The file refers to the system.img, boot.img, and modem.bin you extracted. "Brush" is the translation given ROM translation. I'll call him ROM.

Can you edit a kernel of of a ROM?
but do not support A7, A5's Chinese version. when I see this words,OH NO!
I am Chinese , I think we can talk about our phones.
My QQ is 1003861593
So randomly I was looking at the updates available for the phone on the Galaxy app store. And saw that certain countries including Korea China Vietnam and Japan have it built-in to the Samsung phone UI. I was wondering if someone from those countries could post their APK for us less fortunate folks. I'd like to try it out and see if it works. Thanks in advance.
P. S. I attached a screenshot.

It's a bit misleading there - the app is the same across the board (most likely) but the features enabled are determined by settings files including those in the CSC for your carrier. The nice part about that is that with root you can edit your existing CSC to enable features that were missing or disabled.

I'm not sure you're correct. I'm just thinking about the unlocked version of the phone, I don't think it has anything to do with the carriers.
When I go to Galaxy Apps, there seem to be several apps to download that offer call recording

Well, I compared the full contents of my N950N (a Korean model), a N950F (European model), and a T-Mobile branded N950U and they all had the same dialer (the F and N's are about 95% the same, the US models have more differences due to hardware but the software is still about 90% identical), but what to I know

yeah that one is identical across the board. Like I said, you need to enable call recording via CSC settings. What you are missing is this line:
Code:
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>
That enables the call recording function, it is not a different APK.
Damn i wish they put it in adb secure setting instead of csc.

Yup, I believe KT is correct. I have a N950F, I'm 99% sure I didn't have the call recorder option. After I installed KT's TMO mod I got the call recording. I have not tried it yet though.

Yes but unfortunately if you have a N950U it won't do you any good. The mod is made for N950F variants only & you would need custom recovery installed in order to flash it.

Do you have a Tmobile N950U variant & do you not have the call recording option?
It looks like they finally have a working root for the snapdragon versions now, so he could just manually copy the others.xml file into his system/omc/tmb/ folder and reboot I think.

Actually that is true, totally didn't think about that. Manually copying all the files over should work as that's all the flash is doing anyway.

I think he's already on a tmobile phone, so he just needs the others.xml file added to enable the extra features. He should also edit omc.info to change the others tag from no to yes but I think it will load it anyway.

That CSC feature line wouldn't go in the build.prop. It would need to be added to cscfeatures.xml or others.xml.
For stock N950F with original firmware it would most likely will go in cscfeatures.xml as it most likely wouldn't have others.xml, as to what folder that's in, I couldn't tell you as I don't know what CSC you are currently on. But if stock, cscfeatures.xml most likely will be encrypted.

Found it under "/system", but I don't think this is the correct file for this entry as the line to add is in XML format. Unless it needs to be specified in build.prop as a different entry line?

You can't choose the font from iFont. It just kicks you to your device's Display settings when you click "Set". Even the instructions given in the app when installing the font say that you have to go to your device settings to set the font, but trying to apply the font from settings just prompts you to Delete the font in Oreo. In other words, it doesn't work on the US variant with Oreo, so please stop trying to tell everyone that it does. You obviously don't know.
ANYHOW...
I'll tell you guys which one works with the Note8 US Oreo version, though reluctantly because...
...everytime someone posts a way to do it Samsung either finds a way to patch it(as they do read these forums) or just threatens the app maker or thread poster with copyright infringement on their Flip Font lameness that they've subjected us to. They are intensely greedy when it comes to fonts and intend to make a bunch of money off of their own crappy fonts by blocking the traditional True Type Fonts that everyone else has. They don't seem to understand that limiting the ability of device user's to theme or personalize their devices as they choose reduces the interest people have in their products all together.
1) Download this app HERE from the Play Store.
2) Download & install the font you want for Oreo.
3) Restart your device.
4) Go to your device's Display settings & apply the font.
Note: You can also make your own working fonts in the app from regular TTF fonts that you've downloaded by clicking the little "+" sign at the bottom and watching a quick ad.

You need a Korean SIM-card to have a Korean CSC, which then allows you to install the beta update. If you live in Germany and your service provider is O2, your CSC will be German instead of Korean. This blocks the installation. It doesn't make any sort of a difference if the phone was originally bought from Korea or if the language is Korean, only the inserted SIM-card's country matters.

I registered on Samsung members earlier and tries to manually update through settings... Didn't work. Tried again a few minutes later and it downloaded.
Hating the new navigation bar. It's either sitting there for you to use or its completely hidden and you have to use gestures to swipe up at the point where the button would be
On the old software I had my bar set as hidden, then you swiped up to reveal and pressed what you wanted

Dowoad latest firmware of UK BTU and download your own one too.
Flash your phone through odin by using both firmwares you downloaded.
*In BL, AP, CP use UK BTU firmware files
* In CSC use your own firmware CSC like O2.
Once you flash it and if it is successful like mine, then go to recovery and install the pie update zip file as Update from SD card. It will update you to pie by still keeping your csc and data hopefully.
I have attached my phone screenshots in case.

*In BL, AP, CP use UK BTU firmware files
* In CSC use your own firmware CSC like O2.
Once you flash it and if it is successful like mine, then go to recovery and install the pie update zip file as Update from SD card. It will update you to pie by still keeping your csc and data hopefully.
I have attached my phone screenshots in case.

Oh ...thank you for your input.
I can't find my firmware anywhere( note 8 Olympic edition N950NKOU3CRC3)... would be great if someome can share where I can get it.
I am doomed ,well then I have to wait for the final update.
Have a great day everyone.
