AT&T and their MVNO resellers are saying my phone with this ROM will be useless after February 2022, but they don't really know because it's an international phone. I've been scrambling to finally get a proper AT&T CSC, so that voLTE and HD Voice might work. I had been relying on 3G calling all this time, but that will be phased out. I tried Selection CSC 2.0.0 Final for Oreo, but it makes my phone unstable (IMS crashes repeatedly).

Does anyone know how to get a proper AT&T CSC for this device, and this ROM? Others have tried, but a few seem to have made it work... without providing documentation. It seems like it's more than just an XML CSC file, because the AT&T CSC comes with all sorts of ".jar" files and such.

I might have to downgrade to an Oreo ROM just to be able to use this phone! I love Deluxe ROM so much!

by the way guys is there anyone here that can confirm you are using voLTE for calling using this rom? I cant find voLTE in the connection settings
I think it depends on your CSC. My BTU CSC has a toggle at "Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > "VoLTE calls". You enable it if you want to allow VoLTE, but it doesn't force it.

This hasn't really helped me, because if I disable 3G in "Network mode" below that, and try to make a call, it always fails. It might simply be a matter of provisioning my phone for VoLTE, which I'm going to trying to get Pure TalkUSA MVNO to do, even though this phone is not officially supported by AT&T for the Feb 2022 3G shutdown.

I've been using the BTU CSC with AT&T for 16 months without any problems. but then come Feb 2022 3G calls will be sunset.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you only have a chance to select your CSC when you first install DeluxeROM for Pie. I never had the Oreo version of DeluxeRom, so I cannot comment on that. I see up to DeluxeROM Oreo v9.2 is still being hosted at https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=224576 - I might have to downgrade to that version, so I can use "Selection CSC" to install a proper AT&T CSC before Feb 2022. I can find no Pie-compatible AT&T CSC for these Exynos devices. All downloads for DENTONATOR by TekHD seem to be completely wiped from existence, but I don't think they even finished supporting Pie on the SM-N950F/DS devices anyway.

I have a wifi connection issue. Connecting the phone to my wireless home network stay connected for at least 5 minutes.... and then says internet unavailable. This is a firmware error because my laptop and other devices connected to the same network still connected perfectly. Any solution? Have a clean installed rom.

I wouldn't assume it's a firmware issue, since most of us are not having a problem. I find the wireless to be very reliable on this phone and ROM.

Make sure you are using a 2.4GHz connection, as 5GHz is generally less reliable.

It could be an interaction between your phone and your access point. Have you tried this device on another wireless network? That would be the first step in diagnosing the issue.

I made a wonderful mistake. It turns out I've been running v29 of DeluxeROM, not v31. I think I had some glitch on v31 at one point, tried downgrading, and then forgot about it. I loaded v31 today and even with the UK's "BTU" CSC, I'm able to use AT&T's VoLTE. I haven't been able to get WiFi calling to work yet, but that's not as essential to me.

I'm delighted I'll still be able to use this amazing ROM and wonderful phone for voice calls. Deep respect to AbrahamGC for all his efforts.

    # 1 - Introduction

    Hi! Welcome to Android Pie DeluxeROM® for exynos8895!

    This ROM is compatible with N950F/FD/N, G955F/FD/N and G950F/FD/N.

    At this point you should already know this, but just in case... Installing a custom ROM requires TWRP, and installing a modified binary such as TWRP, will increase our knox timer to 0x1, restricting us to use most of the knox features and without a way to reset it. With this custom ROM, we'll get most of the features back, keep reading ;)

    WARNING : WE DON'T TAKE RESPONSABILITES WITH WHAT HAPPENS ON YOUR DEVICE.

    FAQ

    DO NOT REPORT BUGS OR TRY TO GET ASSISTANCE WHILE USING MODDED VERSIONS USUALLY MADE BY KANGERS LIKE @mpal AND OTHER 4PDA MEMBERS.

    - What's dual statusbar (DSB) ?
    + The mod consists on duplicate the statusbar size and unlock more "positions" on "Statusbar views position" on DRC. This will give us more space to place our views like carrier, network speedmeter, batteries, icons, etc ...

    - How can I activate dual statusbar ?
    + Once you flashed the ROM, you have a zip on the internal memory called DUAL_SB. This zip will detect which statusbar you have and change it. So it's valid too to revert dual to single.

    - Why the statusbar custom background takes some time to be shown after a reboot ?
    + This happens only with images (not colors nor gradient), and it have a reason, when the device is booting, the UI can't access to your internal memory (for security reasons), so, when the mod tries to load the image, it fails. On the past this give us a headache with force-closes and not showing images. Now it simply will load it when the system sends the flag BOOT_COMPLETED. How much time it takes ? Not much really, from 10 seconds up to 1:30min.

    - Where I can find backgrounds that fits with dual statusbar ?
    + We added a folder on your internal memory called DLX_BGS with more than 50 designs. If is not enough, you can always use any other image...

    - Why I can't enter to the sub-screens on DRC ?
    + The statusbar views have a "master" preference called "Icons hidden", ALL the icons picked here won't be visible on the statusbar and the sub-screens will be disabled (why would we edit preferences without show the view ?). Don't forget to un-hide before edit them.

    - DRC needs root and busybox to work ?
    + No. ONLY the kernel configurations needs root and busybox (both).

    - I need mTweaks to configure DeluxeKernel ?
    + NO. You have a screen on DRC to configure it, so, don't use other apps while you're on this kernel.

    - I switched to permissive but it doesn't change.
    + First of all check root and busybox, if they are ok wait few minutes. Sometimes magisk is slow to grant the root. This applies to all kernel configurations.

    - I rebooted and I'm again on enforcing SELinux.
    + The boot is always with the default values, and as the statusbar, when the flag BOOT_COMPLETED is sent, kernel configurations are applied.

    - If I flash another kernel, will DRC override kernel configurations ?
    + No, if is not the kernel provided, DRC won't show you the preferences related and won't apply them, so you can still using the app provided (usually) with the kernel.

    - Double tap to wake doesn't works as expected with AOD.
    + Known issue, but no solution for now. (AOD have already a double tap to wake with the home button without press it, maybe is enough with it ;) )

    - What's the "Fingerprint wake-on" exactly ?
    + I made it thinking on the S7 where the user needs to press the button to wake-up the screen, but is good for us if we don't want to wast battery with the sensor. If it's disabled, fingerprint stills working, but won't wake up the device.

    More questions when I get free...

Also I have to say a big thanks for all the support, from devs, from testers, from donors and from all the users :)
