[MOD][Nougat] Stock File Manager has some hidden features, enable them! (How-To)

[cachanilla86]

I noticed that S8 and Note FE ROMs have some extra features that the regular Note5 didn't have, at least not without rooting and modifying it. Some of them are very easy to enable like this but a modified device is required. This time is about the My Files app, the stock Samsung file explorer.

system/csc/others.xml add this lines:

<CscFeature_MyFiles_EnableDirectorySearch>TRUE</CscFeature_MyFiles_EnableDirectorySearch>
<CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportApkCategory>TRUE</CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportApkCategory> <CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportPinLock>TRUE</CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportPinLock>
<CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportFolderDescription>TRUE</CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportFolderDescription>
<CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportRmvbFileFormat>TRUE</CscFeature_MyFiles_SupportRmvbFileFormat>
<CscFeature_MyFiles_ConfigDataUsageWarning>TRUE</CscFeature_MyFiles_ConfigDataUsageWarning>

system/etc/floating_feature.xml add this line:

<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_MYFILES_SUPPORT_OPTIMIZE_STORAGE>TRUE</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_MYFILES_SUPPORT_OPTIMIZE_STORAGE>

After a Reboot the changes will appear, if not try clearing the app's data.

I attached MY OWN files for reference, you can use the .zip to install yours. My phone is a Sprint model (SM-N920P) so don't try to flash it on any other model.

This is a good time to enable the unit converter in the stock calculator app and some other mods.

Do you Want to enable call recording? add this lines to system/csc/others.xml

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_EnableCallButtonInFdnList>TRUE</CscFeature_VoiceCall_EnableCallButtonInFdnList>

Good luck!

you can simply get it by installing latest version from apkmirror. It installed without any problem on stock unrooted

Doesn't work that way. If you don't modify at least the floating_feature.xml you won't get the hidden features, no matter how updated the app is. I tried, that's when I came to understand that was a "CSC mod". If you are on a custom ROM of course it will work because S8 or Note FE have this already enabled.

Well. Watch out.
There is a missmatch in that line:
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAll owed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

It should be without the blank spcace in "RecordingAll owed", but RecordingAllowed", my friend.

Po properly it should look like this"
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

Do NOT forget after putting these line in the "cscfeature.xml"-file to do these 2 things:
1. Set permissions to the file "others.xml" to 0644
(if you're on Nougat, then the file is "cscfeature.xml" in this folder:
system/omc/"your CSC"/cscfeature.xml
Set permissions (if changed) to your CSC folder (in my case it's "XEO") to 0755.
2. Restart.

Now, good luck.
In my case it worked like hell
