UPSM is good way to save some battery when needed, but only a very limited apps we can use under UPSM. With root access, we can add more apps support in UPSM.
Well, the whole idea of UPSM is to save battery, why on earth we want to add more apps to drain the battery? Because we can :victory:
For the start, our mod will add a few applications so you can test it out before customizing your own application list.
Apps added in our mod:
1) Camera
2) Gallery
3) Torch (included AOSP torch.apk for this feature)
4) Chrome
5) Hangout
Instruction to add more apps to UPSM
1) Download the UPSM_Add_More_Apps.zip from : http://electron-team.com/ADDONS/other/
2) Put zip file in sd card.
3) Boot in recovery and clear cache partition
4) Flash the zip file and reboot your phone
5) Boot into UPSM to test the added applications
How to add your own apps?
6) Go to system/csc and open up allowed_apps_upsm.xml with text editor
7) Add your desired applications. You need to know the application Package Name and the Main Class Name. Check the app's Android.Manifest.xml to find out.
8) Then go to phone data/data/com.sec.android.emergencylauncher/databases/ and delete EmergencyLauncherUPSM.db
9) Reboot your phone.
10) Done.
Note: Music app doesn't work in UPSM because some background services has been turn off.
Wish to have Xposed module or app to easily add more app to UPSM? Me too. Let's hope somebody could make one in future.:fingers-crossed:

I made a quick app to easily add more apps to the upsm list. I am still testing it to make sure it is writing the list right. I will share it soon enough.

My S5 does not have in system/csc a file named "allowed_apps_upsm.xml". It only has: contents.db, customer.xml, default_workspace.xml, feature.xml, others.xml, and sales_code.dat. Help?!
Also will this work on a Sprint Galaxy S5? (SM-G900P)
I hope that someone will turn on music files on upsm.
hello, is it possible to have gps turned on while screen is off.
I want to run Sports Tracker in this mode, but it stops working after turning off the screen

if it doesnt have that file you can add it. No problem. Take one of the files published ona previous page, copy it into system/csc and give rw-r-r permissions. then reboot. It should work on all devices, including sprint. Cheers!

Please can u post '' allowed_apps_upsm.xml '' i would try on galaxy tab s ^^
Thanks
I don't have in com.android.sec.emergencylauncher this file.......db And upsm manager don't work on omega 7.1 why ?
Obviously if you run more apps, you'll use some more power when you're using those new apps in power save mode. But will adding more to the menu use any more power while you're not using these?
What I'm really trying to establish is if there's any negative point to adding more apps in power save mode.

Hey mate, I think I came across something today that may answer your question.
After adding settings with UPSM manager, I went into "manage apps" and discovered that whilst in this mode, all apps are marked as "disabled" except for those that work in upsm.
Based on this observation, it seems like UPSM actually disables all apps (and by consequence their background services) to save battery, not just hiding them.
So to answer your question, I'd guess that adding more apps will not in itself cause battery drain, unless the apps have battery/ram consuming background services. Therefore my approach is to enable as few apps as I need (whatsapp, music etc), whilst leaving off apps like facebook which has notifications etc.
Hope that helps you or someone
Work with NE5?
Does this work with NE5? I can't seem to get it to work. I am stock rooted without tripping KNOX.
I don't have either of the mentioned files:
system/csc/allowed_apps_upsm.xml
data/data/com.sec.android.emergencylauncher/databases/EmergencyLauncherUPSM.db
I don't even have the data/data/com.sec.android.emergencylauncher/databases directory.
Tried using the app and that adds the system/csc/allowed_apps_upsm.xml file but it doesn't affect the available applications list in UPM mode.
link doesn't work anymore (404). can somebody upload xml file I don't have it on my S5 . Will it work on lollipop?

There's a Samsung feature that only works in some devices, and it is the ability to select several pictures to set them as the background of the lock screen, so it changes every time the screen is turned on. The only way to do this officially with A7 (2018) is through Samsung Themes, choosing a "multi-pack" background. There's no other possible way (you cannot select a couple of images from Gallery and set them as background, for example).
But there is a "hidden" app that is called My Interests, which lets you to choose multiple backgrounds for the lock screen. The problem with this is that if you try to launch it through an activity launcher it says that the app needs the storage permission to work, but you can't enable it because the request of that permission has not been declared in the app code. So I've edited it to add that request, and it works properly.
If you want to do it yourself, or just want to know what I have done:
To make this APK, I've edited the original APK with APK Editor Pro, and I've added in the AndroidManifest.xml the following line between the other requests for permissions:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Then I've built the app, and the generated APK file has been cloned with APK Cloner, in order to avoid conflicts with the original app.
To install it:
Install the attached APK
Install and open QuickShortcutMaker
In the search box, write updatos, it should appear one result which icon is a picture of a mountain
Open it and select the first element of the list, and then select "Try"
Accept the permission
Now you are able to choose the images you want with the "+" button, and then set them as the background of the lock screen
You can also add a widget to your home screen to add the activity as an icon, so it is quicker to change the backgrounds.
Just make a permission file and put it in system/etc/permissions

But in that case you would need root access.
I'm getting a "Clones are device locked" error when I do the "Try it" option.
I installed app cloner but I can't seem to do anything with it. Any ideas?
Edit: I made a clone of com.samsung.android.keyguardwallpaperupdatos.apk but when I try to set permissions, there is none available for storage. Agh.

So it looks like if I clone an app it can only be installed in the same device...
When I have time I will upload the edited APK without cloning and change the steps, because you will need to clone it.
Thanks for the feedback
So I did your steps, I downloaded the original APK from APKMirror, edited the XML and then cloned it.
I was able to launch the shortcut, and it let me select multiple backgrounds but it only applies one. I think Samsung might have blocked this... I'm currently using a Galaxy A50. Maybe I should try an older version?

It changes, but it takes some time. In other devices (where this feature is official) it changes every time you see the lockscreen, but with this method the change is not that frequent.

How did you make it work?
after doing all the installtion steps do this;
in quickshortcut maker app search ''updator'' instead of ''updatos''
there will be 2 search results open the first one and tap try now it should allow you to do this.
the trick is to open the one with updator mentioned in it. thats the official one preinstalled in the phone.

I know. But the thing is that the one that is preinstalled doesn't have the needed permissions registered, so they can't be enabled. That's why the APK file has to be edited, to manually add those permissions.
Iam not a good thread maker so i will try to write everything as simple as i can.
Few days ago i bought and switched to A7 2018 from A5 2017, which was/is still an excellent phone to me.
On A5 i was on Oreo and on A7 i am and will be still on Oreo. Not planning to test this on Pie, but be my guest and try it on Pie, some stuff should work. Report if it does.
On A5 i made a similar thread to enable some features, but it was much easier to do because i had a CSC folder instead of ODM folder which has some files encrypted and you need them decrypted to proceed. And there is no flashable zip, you will need to do all on your phone, except decrepitng some files which you will need to do on your pc, and then put back and overwrite the same files on your phone and give necessary permissions.
First of all iam not a developer and i dont know anything about developing.
This is just enabling some features that were allready there in the phone through some lines on some files in ODM/OMC folder and some lines implemented in the stock floating_feature.xml file.
Never delete floating_features.xml file from your phones etc folder and dont touch permissions (0644), or your phone wont boot up. You just need to edit them and save.
Iv tested only on stock A750FNXXU1ASA4 OREO, which was only rooted and nothing else was modified.
The features you should get if everything goes right are:
1. Floating messages (option in Advanced features)
2. Record calls in (phone options)
3. Show network speed (option in status bar)
4. Data Usage Notification (option in data usage)
5. Camera Shutter sound on/of (in camera options)
6. ScreenRecord (options accessible from QPannel and Advanced Features)
7. S Bike Mod
8. Places option on keypad
9. Caller ID spam protection (in phone option)
9. LiveMessages in samsung keyboard
10. S PowerPlanning (Device Maintenance/battery)
11. HomeMode(screensaver option)
12. S Pen features( needed if you ever find working AirCommand).
13. In Samsung video options, but in option that apear when you press play on video,
you should see Video Enhancer option. Download Samsung video from Galaxy apps.
14. Multiuser support
15. Dolby Atmos dual speaker (works with speaker not just with earphones)
Anyway...
I f you dont know anything about floating_features.xml or bulid.prop or ODM/OMC folders and editing them, then dont try this beacuse I won't be held accountable if something happens to your phone if you loose your data or go into bootloop! So Dont Forget to Backup your Phone!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.You have to be ROOTED offcourse and have a file manager like RootExplorer or simillar.
2. Now you need to copy from root of your phone two files from your contry ODM/OMC folder that your phone/SIMcard uses. It must be from your contrys ODM/OMC folder no other ones. The files are cscfeature.xml and cscfeature_network.xml After you decrypt them put them back in your phone and overwrite the ones inside your contry ODM/OMC folder and give permission 0644.
After that open in text editor with your Root Explorer cscfeature.xml file and on the bottom insert the lines that you can see in the attachment, then save and restart the phone.
To decrypt cscfeature.xml files follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/decode-encode-omc-files-omc-decoder-t3791471
3. Now open your floating_feature.xml which is located in system/etc folder and just edit/enter on the bottom of the file lines that you can see in the attachment, save and restart the phone. Dont do nothing else with this file just insert the lines then save and restart the phone. If you delete it you will go in to bootloop.
4. Now open your build.prop and on the bottom of the file enter lines that you can see in the attachment, save and restart the phone.
5. Now copy all files in system from the attachment and put them in their corresponding places.
Give perrmission for folder 0755 and 0644 for files.
Thats it!
I hope it works for you like it did for me.
Il try to answer any questions, when i have free time.
And if you all have problems doing this i will make a video tutorial when i have free time.
Does this tutorial applies to a7 2018 with android pie? I mean do I have to decrypt those files? I just want to enable call recording.

Okay upload the file. Will decrypt it if i got some time tomorrow. Easiest way is by using firefds xposed module. Youll see call recording setting under phone section.
So can I enable only call recording without decrypting those files? I've did it on my s8, just copied the csc code into build.prop...it will work on this device too?
Some more features if anybody is interested.
Its for Pie

This works for Galaxy S10e?
For whoever is using a custom ROM and the bixby button is either disabled or cannot customize with the usual Bixby remap app, I have found a solution: (Root needed for #1, #2 works without root)
>Solution #1 (First try this, if it doesn't work - it didn't work for me for some reason - try solution #2):
With tips from the community, I have found these possible locations to edit the bixby key. Use root file explorer:
- /root/system/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl
- /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
- /vendor/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl (?)
Search for key 703 in each of these files. If it does not exist, try to add it manually. Effects take place after a reboot.
Use this guide here for more details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...on-with-simple-double-and-long-press.3839544/
>Solution #2 - Button Mapper: Remap your keys (Not my app)
First, try to see if you can remap the bixby key with this app. For me, it did not work again, but I found a nice workaround:
In the app, instead of changing "Bixby Button", go to "Add Buttons". Now, press the bixby key. The app should detect the key, and finally you can set it to whatever you want.
(But keep in mind, for this option, it is necessary to purchase the pro version).

I installed Magisk and Root Explorer. I don't have 703. Since I don't know English well, the instructions on the link are complicated for me. Can you briefly explain to me how to get Bixby to launch the desired application with one click? Thank you in advance.

Same problem as me, I didn't find 703 anywhere.. you can try manually adding it though, maybe it will work. Like:
key 703 CAMERA
save, reboot device, check if works.
Remember to save file with .kl extension, not .txt, or buttons wont work

if as you said you cant find anywhere "703" in the file, write at the end just like the others, (you can open and edit the file straight away from the root explorer)
key 703 [desired command]
for example
key 703 CAMERA
then save file and reboot phone. If it works, after pressing the bixby key the default camera app should open.
Some people say it works, for me it didn't work though.

It didn't work for me either. I worked like that, but I also typed something like this, but without success.
# input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream
key 703 CAMERA
When I change everything, I save it, after that I change the txt name to kl. It needs Check Permissions after that, and I don't see it in Root Explorer. Maybe you need to go to Settings, select the app and check the permissions? I do not know.

Weird - first check in Magisk that root explorer has root permissions. Second try to edit the file at once without first chaning to .txt - most editors support it, no need to change. If that still doesnt work, try a different root file explorer app. For me worked "root browser".
