[Tutorial] VERY SIMPLE ....Call Rec and status bar mod for odex MC2 - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

First. I am not the dev and I am not the one to be questioned about ....
Second. I am just reporting a free METHOD that I am using to have Call record and some status bar mods available on my ODEXED MC2
Third. I have JKAY last version 14.93 with deluxe ... and for this I can anly modify the clock color on the status bar .... MAY BE THAT ... other mods are working on stock rom ... I really do not know
Fourth. I do not take any responsability for what are the consequences
The method in VERY SIMPLE STEPS is the following

2) Download XPOSED FRAMEWORK from here (PRESS ON ZIP TAB)
you can have further info about XPOSED here .... also about how to uninstall it
3) Install XPOSED
4) Open XPOSED and press on the INSTALL/UPDATE
5) Reboot your phone
6) Download TWEAKBOX from here
7) Install TWEAKBOX
8) Go to XPOSED Installer, tap on "Modules" and enable TWEAKBOX.
9) Reboot again.
10) Open TWEAKBOX app, tap on ''Statusbar'' and adjust the settings you want
11) Download CALL RECORDING module from here (PRESS ON ZIP TAB)
many other modules are available here and here
I DID NOT TRY ......
12) Install CALL RECORDING module
13) Go to XPOSED Installer, tap on "Modules" and enable CALL RECORDING.
14) Open TWEAKBOX app, tap on ''phone'' and adjust the settings you want

Please note that this won't work on 4.2.2 as Xposed doesn' support sdk 17. To get Volume rocker on 4.2.2 is a little advanced.
1) Extract the Settings.apk and framework-res.apk of your rom
2) Install framework using "apktool if framework-res.apk"
3) Decompile Settings.apk using "apktool d Settings.apk"
4) Open up values/bools.xml using Gedit or Notepad++
5) Look for the line that says "hasVolumeRockerWake"
6) Change the value of that line from false to true
7) Now save and close
8) Recompile apk using "apktool b Settings"
9) In the folder named dist your finished apk will be there
10) Sign your apk
11) Install as system app
12) If you now go into Settings>Display there will be an option to enable Volume Rocker Wake
Note:
If after you installed the apk the app doesn't appear then follow this information.

[How-To]N930T - Root, Mods, Everything Working - 9/29/16 - Updated to PI4 System.img

Here it is. Full T-mobile With root, wifi calling, bluetooth and volte all working - since this is t-mobile based all bands should work as well
Updated to use API4 System Image and API4 Modem - MyMods has also been updated for the API4 System - Whatever you do DO NOT FLASH the API4 BL file. you will be Stuck on the new firmware without root if you do this as you cannot go back
To Avoid Repeat Questons. READ! READ IT AGAIN! and then READ it once more! if you do not Understand any part of this. Do Not Continue!!!
This Guide assumes you have some basic knowledge and is for advanced users!!!!!!!!
This Guide also Assumes you have an sdcard inserted in your phone(however some of you may not and this will not work.)
i will post an update to this guide when we have a method working for those of you with no extsdcard
Read this entire post before doing anything to avoid issues and FOLLOW Directions - if you don't things will not work right.
Note! if at anytime during the following steps you see the samsung boot animation before step 11. start over cause you screwed up!
Step 1. download the following files
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732237653 bbx.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457084094631641263 API4 system.rar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535467223 T-mobile APGC Bootloader
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862665245 T-mobile API4 Modem
Step 2. extract system.rar and bbx.rar and then copy system.img and bbx to your extsdcard(the sdcard you inserted into your phone)
Step 3. odin sprint userdebug firmware available here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/root-super-leaky-bros-sprint-galaxy-t3447202
Step 4. Directly after odin is done with the sprint file you will immidiatly be presented with an update screen
Step 4a when this process of erasing your phone is finished it will reboot(this is the point you want to do the next step)
Step 4b. press and hold power, home and vol up to enter recovery
Step 4c If you see the samsung boot animation. you did NOT do this right and i would suggest you start over
Step 5. open a command prompt in your adb folder and do the following steps 1 at a time(these are case sensative)
Step 5a. adb shell
Step 5b. su
Step 5c. setenforce 0
Step 5d. export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
Step 5e. mount -o remount,rw /
Step 5f. on your phone, go to apply update from sdcard(this will mount your extsdcard as /sdcard and you should see the system.img file and the bbx file) do not select anything, go back to adb and continue(it is not a big deal if those files don't show. we just needed the extsdcard mounted as sdcard - the files exist, just continue to the next step)
Step 5g. cp /sdcard/bbx /sbin/bbx
Step 5h. chmod 777 /sbin/bbx
Step 5i. cd /sbin
Step 5j. ./bbx --install /sbin
Step 5k. umount -l /system
Step 5l. /sbin/dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/system
Note. you will see a blinking cursor. just be patient
Step 7. when it is done you will see something similar to this
11161600+0 records in
11161600+0 records out
5714739200 bytes (5.3GB) copied, 268.668086 seconds, 20.3MB/s
Step 8. if all went well you should be at your prompt and not in adb anymore
Step 9. from your command prompt simply type
Step 9a. adb reboot bootloader
Note! - if you still have odin open and the sprint file in the ap box make sure you uncheck it so it doesn't reodin the sprint firmware
Step 10. open odin and click the bl button and select this file - BL_N930TUVU1APGC_CL8706614_QB10376889_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10b. now click the cp button and select this file - CP_N930TUVU2API4_CL9115549_QB10937257_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Step 10c. now click start. it will reboot when done let it fully boot this time.
Step 11. once booted and you have setup your phone, we need to add the root files or supersu as most of you know it
Note! pertaining to Step 12. these instructions were taken Explicitly from @freeza thread which is listed in step 3
Step 12. Now we need to add supersu and the needed files for it to work
Step 12a. download this file - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732236679
Step 12b. Extract the sun7 file to your adb folder making sure the files are in a folder called sun7(mine looks like this - c:/adb/sun7 and contains 4 files)
Step 12c. Open a command prompt where your ADB executable and sun7 folder are.
Step 12d. adb shell
Step 12e. su - Note! if your adb prompot changes from a $ to #(you are good and have root access)
Step 12f. type exit twice to get back to the command prompt. - Your Phone should be fully booted when you do this
Step 12g. adb push sun7 /data/local/tmp/su
Step 12h. adb shell chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/su/*
Step 12i. adb shell
Step 12j. cd data/local/tmp/su
Step 12k. su
Step 12l. ./root.sh - Note. this command begins with a . do not leave it out
Step 12m. Your Phone will now reboot
Step 13. when booted back up go to playstore and install busybox on rails or a similar app and install busybox to /system/xbin(if your given an option of where to install it)
Step 14. Thats Pretty Much it. install any additions i have included if you like. most of all enjoy it
Additional Notes!
If for any reason you do a factory reset. you will break root and need to redo this method to get it back
If you use shealth do not update it or allow playstore or galaxy appstore to auto update it or it will break it
If you plan on running the debloat/deknox file you will need to disable auto updates in google playstore as soon as you finish the setup wizard or you will be uninstalling the apps that managed to update
Note! Keep in mind that i remove alot of things(ie. allshare, knox, gear manager, game manager, tmo apps, google apps, facebook and alot of other things) if you need any of what i remove, you can simply open the zip and go to META-INF/com/google/android and open the following file "updater-script" in notepad++(do not open it with windows notepad as it will screw up the formatting on the entrys) you will see a whole bunch of lines that begin with delete_recursive, remove the lines with names of the apps you do not want removed. most of this stuff is self explanatory by it's name as to what it is and should be very easy to figure out. when done editing the file, save it. and flash the updated zip in flashfire. it's as simple as that.
Additional Files for those that want them(these are all flashed via flashfire)

Ok here it is: Xposed still works with this new root method, Only one catch, you have to install this before you install any of @OvrDriVE Mods.
If you plan on using Xposed then do not install @OvrDriVE my modifications zip as this will crash your systemui.apk.
As with any custom rom's, root, add-on's, you assume all risks with modding your phone. You have been warned.
Make sure you read all of my directions below, before you start posting errors with the install. Worst case you just have to start over with @OvrDriVE s installation.
Here is the way you can install xposed on your phone after you have root. I in no way have made any files or apks, I am just posting ways you get this loaded on your phone.
Please Thank the devolopers and others that have made all these files and apks possible..
The way to install Xposed framework via FlashFire:
1. Download FlashFire, You can get it from the app store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en
2. Download the Xposed Installer Apk: Xposed installer Apk
3. Download the Xposed Framework zip.<<< this is the file that you will be flashing via FlashFire: Xposed Framework.zip
4. Once you have all the files downloaded onto you computer/phone: you are ready to start. If you have'nt all ready copied all the files to your phone storage, do so now. If you did then you can move on to the #5.
5. Open FlashFire on your phone. Once it is loaded and open, click on circle with + button on the bottom right of the screen.
Then Click on Flash ZIP or OTA button.
Now select the xposed framework zip that you downloaded from #3.
Next you click the check mark on the top right of
the screen( do not change any of boxes on the left of the screen.<<< You Have Been Warned!!!!! .
Next scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the left button (flash button w the lighting bolt)
Sit back and watch FlashFire do its magic..
6. After #5 completes, you can now install the xposed installer apk from #2. Once installed open and check framework in the app and you should have this : Xposed framework version 86.1 (custom build by wanam / 2016709 is active.
7. Now go to Download in the xposed installer and download: XTouchWiz 1.1.2 or Wanam Xposed 1.3.0 Made for Samsung Android 5 and 6 Roms by Wanam. You can also download Firefds kit 1.0.5.1 by firefds <<<<< this is just a modified version of XTouchWiz with more stuff added to it.. This works as well on samsung note 7 root method.
8. Once you downloaded it, installed it, then go into the Xposed installer app- modules- you select the the app in #7 by placing a checkmark in the box on the right to activiate the modules.
9. Reboot your phone to activate the module.
10. Enjoy your efforts and customizing your phone:
If you some reason you want to uninstall xposed : flash this:xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip
Awesome.....finally[emoji106]

keep in mind that once you root no payment method will work. however as this does not trip the knox counter. you can odin stock t-mo firmware and samsung pay and android pay will work just fine. you can't have it both ways unfortunately. it's either or
!!!!!!!!
If you guys want Samsung pay....u need to stay stock and use disabler package pro to debloat and like @OvrDriVE said we can't have it all ....either or we gotta give up something. .... but with this breakthrough with root from @freeza.... now WiFi calling and volte work.... we are moving in good direction .... until we all get new note 7 replacement phone in couple week..... happy Labor days guys for people in US.

Ah okay thanks! and do you know if the Bluetooth issues still occur?
I am going to watxh this topic. I know alot of work is going on however i want to see how stable it is before i do anything. I can wait no problem. i know we have been hitting roadblocks and until we have an official root method I am perfectly fine without for now... To all the Devs great job now we wait and see if penetration testing and users can do this method of root. Thank you all for your time and hard work!

Pixel Look Alike Setup Guide Galaxy S7

I AM NOT A DEVELOPER, I in no way claim to have made any of this myself, I'm just here to say how I manage to get as close to having Pixel software on my Galaxy S7 G930V as possible.
Basically I'll divide this into three main areas. ROM, Add-on Mods, and Apps.
Read All the way through before starting so as to not miss anything.
Also the add-on mods are installed at the same time as the ROM. That way you keep safety net and what not.
Lets start with the ROM, I am using Ufirm_QE2_Hybrid_Nougat_Rom_FlashFire_Install Status Official For VZW S7FLAT by CVertigo1 / jrkruse

Latest Ufirm QE2 Nougat Firmware For The S7 Flat Only
This well give you a Customizable NonRooted Rom that uses stock boot.img not the eng boot image so there is no lag and it will pass safetynet checks and samsung pay will work
Give this guy @umaro some thanks he worked on this until it became reality even when I gave up​
These first 2 step must be done first unless you are on my previous version of this rom or my carrier specific rom that do not have root or if your unsure just do this first
This Will Wipe Your Phone
1. Unzip UFIRM_G930_Odin_Firmware.zip and flash all files in odin
2. Go through setup ignore invalid sim message and skip adding accounts
3. Go to Step 3 Below
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To Flash Files in Odin simply launch Odin (Downloads later)
click on each button (Labeled BL, AP, etc.) and select their respective files that were extracted from the archive.
Each respective file's label has each corresponding label. (AP at the beginning of the file name, means put it in AP slot)
Then boot phone into download mode, press home, download, and volume down keys all simultaneously.
Connect it to computer and press the begin button in Odin.

If you are on one of my previous version of this rom or my carrier specific rom
1. Unzip UFIRM_G930_Odin_Firmware.zip
2. Use odin to flash BL and CP
3. Unzip ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip
4. Flash EngBoot image with odin
5. Root Phone. I'm not going to have half a page about rooting there is an entire rooting thread here. The Eng Boot.img can be found in the UFIRM_QD2_Modified_Nougat_Firmware Folder

Rooting is very simple for this phone once the Eng Kernel has been flashed.

Options I selected in Aroma:
Verizon Stock
NoName System UI Mods
Open Source Ad Blocking
Pixel Boot Animation
Manual Debloat
Removed Every thing except Samsung TTS and Samsung Gallary / Camera (you can remove if you prefer to use google camera, DO NOT REMOVE if you plan on using zero camera.)
I don't use the google camera because on my S7 the video records the audio out of sync with the video, I haven't figured out how to fix it. but zero camera allows me to use Photos app instead of gallary so.... yea. (Requires a purchase of the root app for alt gallery)
That's about it for the ROM install.
**note these were installed in FlashFire with the ROM so as to pass safty net.
Now here are the add-on mods I used:
Open-GApps - to get pixel icons, and connectivity service
Android 8 Emojis
iYTB Vanced (Modded YouTube)
Google Lens
Zero Camera Mod
Copy those mods onto internal storage with the ROM install and add them into FlashFire during the ROM install. Place them after the ROM zip, but before the Format Cache / Wipe System less Super SU.

You will need to grant Force Doze and SystemUI Tuner ADB permissions using a command prompt on windows.
Comands:
SystemUI Tuner:
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP

THANKS A TON DEVS!!!! :good: :laugh: :good:
Let me know if anybody has anything else they have done to get this close!
I appreciate you putting all the links and mods into the same place. I have never flashed using FlashFire before (on a G930V) and this was an excellent guide for me.
My only trip up was I didn't understand the language about Camera/Google Camera/Zero Camera Mod and I tried installing the zero mod while debloating the camera off. So I will have to go back and do that.
I skipped the "flashables" youtube, emoji, lens but may end up going back for those.
Thanks again.
Update: I found a cool way to have the new Google now page in the launcher.
Launcher App:
First is the actual app. Typicaly I would just say use Nova but on the pixel launcher the Google Now page looks different than on other third party apps. I wanted this look, so here is how I found a way to get that new Google Now pag to appear on other launchers.
Step one, if you installed Google lens mod, you should be able to get the pixel launcher from the play store, if not get it from XDA labs or APK mirror. Set Google. Set it as your default launcher. Next you will need any third party launcher and Tasker. I'm using Lawn chair Launcher. (On Google play). Use button mapper pro to map pressing the home button to launch third party app. Go into Tasker and make a task, so that whenever Google pixel launcher is launched, open third party launcher. As long as the pixel launcher is set as your default, the new Google now page will appear in apps like Nova and action launcher.
I'm *loving* this so far. Thanks to you and the devs that have worked on each stage of this.
I'm doing:
Verizon Stock
No UI Mods
No Ad Blocking
Pixel Animation
"PlayStore" Edition (not BS free, not manual)
Flashing GApps
Flashing Emoji
My only issue is like you described with the camera. It was working initially and then it updated and the update is causing problems. Also, the double home button launch doesn't work without a 3rd party app (and with screen off with no root).
So I can either figure out a way to always ignore camera app update and use a 3rd party app for launch (screen on only)
or
Will the S8 camera option include the gallery app and not be cleared by the "PlayStore" option?

I believe so, however I don't know, this would be a better question to ask in the ROM's Thread. the link is in the OP
It says you flashed open gapps, does it just re write over existing gapps with no problems
