CSC Selection for SM-G95XF/FD/N (all others untested!)
What is this for?
CSC stands for Country Specific Code, so every single country (and even different providers in one country) have different codes, for csc features, wallpapers, wifi calling, VoLTE, sounds etc. So it is quite important to have the right csc file on your phone for your provider (so you can have all features which comes with your provider (like wifi calling)).
You may ask yourself now, where can this be flashed on? Basically on every stock based rom, as well as on stock roms (who are rooted of course). So: root and a recovery (custom) are required!
Your current country is not listed below? Send me your stock csc file from sammobile.com (SM-G955F variant) and I will add it!
NOTE TO ALL DEVS: You are free to grab any csc you want from this zip, as long as proper credits are given and a link to this thread exist in your OP.
Features:
- different csc features can be chosen in aroma

4.
Code:
dd if=/data/media/0/EFSBackup/efs.img of=/dev/block/sda3 bs=4096

- Added csc features to be choosen too. It works on most cscs but not on all. I will make this work on all (as they all use different folders etc it's hard to make it universal for all cscs)
CSC Selection V1.1.5:
- Updated H3G csc
- Updated TEL csc
- Updated VD2 csc
- Updated XAA (american multi csc), please let me know if wificalling/volte is finally working with this one!

- Added S Secure

- Updated TGY csc
- There are currently 2 types of cscs available on the s8, the old variant with system/csc and the new one with system/omc, the old one now uses again the old method to install the csc, this should fix issues with several csc for example XAC. As soon as they got updated to the new version as well I will do this
- Several people reported an issue with ATT csc, message settings crashes. This is due to spam mod in csc feature, if you don't choose it, it's fine. I will figure out why

- Updated DTM csc
- Updated VD2 csc
- Updated SKC csc
- Updated XAC csc
- Added AIO and TMK to XAA csc (ported from SM-G950U, the G955U variant doesn't seem to have them included which is strange)
- Updated all csc feature apks such as airmessage, applock and so on
- Added traffic data manager back if smart manager tweaks is chosen
- Added a rom check, if this csc file is flashed on other roms than s8 based it will through a warning
- Removed many carrier wallpapers, apps and bootanimations in order to save space
CSC Selection V2.0.0:
- This release updates the csc selection to support OREO (V1.X = Nougat, V2.X = Oreo)
- This release isn't made for flashing into Nougat bases!
- All csc which have been included previously are updated to Oreo
- A few cscs from south america haven't yet received Oreo.. hence no csc for them
- All csc mods have been updated to Oreo

Yep ? . I mean please add the prefer 5ghz. And maybe enable wifi calling and voLTE? And others. Thank you so much
@Tkkg1994 Hey. Just noticed this. Can you add this option on csc tweaks ? So the camera have anti banding setting on csc like 50/60hz . Now, they enable it so it will help remove those flicker because of the electricity hz on like lamps etc... Now like example I'm here is on 50Hz. And I'm using XSA which selects 50hz which is fine. But if I use other csc that use 60hz . It will mess with image quality if i use like lamps on different hz as it will flicker. So my suggestion is to add another page before the csc tweaks. To select either your country use 50/60 . But now the problem is some people don't know this. So if u have time u could add like region lists . So if I select Indonesia it will automatically select 50Hz . So that after applying the csc and mods it will use sed command to just change the hz. Oh yeah sorry for long post but. I want to make this better for everyone ??

A minor correction to the OP:

"XEU", "United Kingdom EE & Three branded"

I don't know exactly what the difference is between XEU and BTU, though I read somewhere that BTU is UK unbranded direct from Samsung while XEU is UK unbranded from a third-party (e.g. Carphone Warehouse). They are both unbranded, though, so XEU is not branded for EE nor Three.
The EE UK CSC is 'EVR' and the Three UK CSC is 'H3G' (so the latter is UK branded for Three).
I can upload the EE CSC (latest is from AQDG) if that would let you include it in the next release. What do you need? I have the CSC and HOME_CSC .tar.md5 files from the stock ROM - are those what you require, or is it more specific than this?

I use XSA . It's working fine. And XSA enables the 4x4 Mimo And 256qam . So it's a win win

Do you know if XEU or BTU provide WiFi calling and volte on three or does that only get provisioned on H3G?
Thanks

Hi Tkkg1994
I am living in Hong Kong and my carrier does support volte
However my S8 is exynos Singapore version.
I cannot find the Hong Kong csc in your utility.
Is there any other csc that has the volte enable?
Thanks

I do not know for sure and cannot verify myself as I am no longer with Three (H3G) but to the best of my knowledge, and as far as I've read elsewhere, for VoLTE to work on Three you need Three's H3G CSC to provision this, whereas WiFi calling should work on BTU or XEU. This is the same as on EE, who I am with and - FWIW - where I can confirm that without the EE's EVR CSC VoLTE does not work (but WiFi calling does). For VoLTE you need to take into account that the area you're in may not have had it rolled out - I don't know whether Three has rolled it out across their network in full yet or not (I know EE has). This Three-specific thread may be of interest on this topic, as may this EE thread.
