Posted this in the gingerblur thread, but I thought I'd post it here too:

S U C C E S S!!! That is how we spell success!
So that worked... If you are experiencing video issues with Gingerblur and/or the webtop mod (i.e. your videos are not playing in the entertainment center). Here is what you need to do for an easy fix:
Edit the build.prop file @ /system/
There should be a line in the build.prop file that says: "ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=true"
You need to change the true to false. Then reboot, and you are good to go!
You can either copy the build.prop file w/ root explorer and edit it on your pc (I use Notepad ++) and then copy back and replace the original file. Or, you can edit directly in root explorer; simply long press and select edit with txt editor. Make sure that you mount the system as r/w first though, so you can edit the file (on top line in root explorer).
Hope this helps some of us that were having this issue.

thx ,will have a try.
thanks
I just tested his instructions using windows and plain ol notepad this fix is really easy even if you only have basic system and root access understanding. thanks op!
thank you man!!! i got all excited about gingerblur 3.5 & being able to record 1080p video.. it was a huge let-down when i couldn't view any of them on my big screen to test out the quality.. this fixed it perfect! i used Super Manager (enable Root function) to email the build.prop file to myself.. edited it in ubuntu with text editor, emailed it back to myself, deleted the original build.prop, pasted the modified one back into \system & rebooted
works like a charm
This worked for me but when I play a avi file there is no sound. What should I do?
You are the Man
Cheers

You can enable a camera setting for shutter sound by editing the feature.xml file in system/csc as follows
Using an app like Root Explorer go into the system/csc directory and mount as R/W
Open the feature.xml file in text editor and locate the following line
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
change the false to true then save and reboot your phone. You will now have a setting for shutter sound in your camera settings.

Appreciate it. Worked like a charm. Did not even need the reboot!
this worked for me too, excellent!
Just wanted to share a few CSC features that are tested to work on the S6/S6 edge.
This is not my work, just sharing.
To enable these you will need root, a root explorer and text editor.
Simply navigate to system/csc/Features.xml and add the corresponding line to the end of the file but before the very last few lines that say </feature> and </Samsung>
(if this file does not exist, create the csc folder in system and a txt file within it then change the name to features.xml and add the correct lines and save) if this does not work you can try the same method with Others.XML in the same folder
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*

Big Thanks to this post for the info, there are many more in the original post but these are the only ones I've tried and have worked so far,
and IakobosJ for his help in the wifi calling thread
if anything needs adding let us know and it can be added to this post,
This is dedicated to the hard working XDA community
Thank You All
Theres also some nice tools in the play store -:- Be careful when using these!
Samsung CSC Master
CSC Feature Expert
(I own google so get a big cut of the profit made on these )
I've tried CSC Feature Expert now -and it seems to work well,
Quick tut:
I would backup original CSC folder first
Just search for the option you want to enable,
Select the value ( see pic 1)
in the popup - Input the correct value (see pic 2 - label 1)
(a few examples of values)
' RecordingAllowed ' to enable call recording,
' true ' for shutter sound menu,
' true ' for launcher by alphabet,
' true ' for rotation icon in gallery,
' true ' for support wifi call,
then click save (see pic 2 - label 2)
restart you device
Hope this helps
If only we could root, without tripping Knox.
I don't want to root my phone in fear that Samsung Pay won't work with a tripped Knox.
Nice to see you've put all of this information together
For those on EE you may also want to enable VoLTE. I know it's unlikely to be in anyones area yet, but they are rolling it out across the UK (Very slowly)
Enable VoLTE Support
<CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>TRUE</CscFeature_RIL_SupportVolte>
Enable VoLTE
<CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>true</CscFeature_IMS_EnableVoLTE>
Just a quick note that the commands have to be added before the
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture> tags at the end of the file.
Tested the Call recording and Shutter sound edits. Worked great.
Lastly if you want to remove that ugly NFC enabled icon in the status bar, delete line
<CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>DEFAULT</CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>
from the file and it will hide the icon.

Thats strange as I've added mine after the samsung tags and all is working fine fine on my device.
Have you had problems in the past with doing that?
No. I saw the file header and noticed they're inserting commands between those tags. The original guide also has that listed but I guess it may or may not work.
Also I believe the file may get reset when you enter stock recovery so I'm assuming this should work as a fix.
1. Open the sales_code.dat to find your csc code.
2. Open the folder above with the same code.
3. Navigate to <code>/system/csc and you'll see another others.xml
4. This is most likely the file that gets applied after a factory reset/activation.
5. Make changes to this file as well.
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*

I would have thought it would have had to be within those tags too. Only found it didn't when i wasn't paying attention while modding it. LoL
Nice tip. Thanks. hoping there's more cool things that can enabled with this, maybe some S6 exclusives finds .

I didnt have it either . Just create the csc folder and make a txt file and change the name to others.xml. as the op states. infact ill post a copy with basic changes i the first post.
It works fine for me. hopfully you wont have any issues
I actually did have the folder. I was looking at the folder ". System" However, after adding those lines and saving it had no effect. Can you take a look at this to see if it's right?
Edit: can't upload the xml file.

You'll have to zip it before you can upload it... or rename others.xml to others.txt
I've attached a basic others.xml with all functions listed in the OP
and an original copy of the EE csc folder that IakobosJ uploaded in the WIFI calling thread
(it would be good if everybody could upload their original csc folders for reference and backups in case someone messes up theirs by accident.)
You can just copy and paste my others.xml into the bottom of your own others.xml(backup yours first)
I've had to do this as XDA's forum system seems to have changed at least one of the lines I've posted, and I've even tried going back and editing and it keeps putting a space in the middle of one of them, so use the upload if your having trouble,
I've deleted all but this file in my csc folder and tested it to make sure there nothing else it depends on - everything is working fine on my device.
But feel free to upload your for us to have a look at
im confused?
i can already do wifi calling and most of these things already without root
im on tmobile

Ok, I'm finally on a PC so I had a chance to zip that file and have uploaded it. IDK where I screwed up. I'm rooted, I found the System/CSC/Others file and made the proper edits and then saved it. The original file was automatically backed up. The permissions were the same as the original file. IDK what I did wrong.

I really appreciate the effort but that didn't work either. I used the file you uploaded for me and made sure the permissions were the same and rebooted. None of the mods worked. It's really weird. I'm going to inquire in the Sprint thread to see if anyone can get these to work.
Unrelated do you know which folder I can find the boot sounds and camera sounds? I'm just going to delete them and that will solve part of my problem.

P.s did you try any of the apps posted in the second post. I dont know how well the work but ghey seem to have good reviews
Prerequisites
1. Rooted Device
2. TWRP Recovery
3. APK Editor
4. Any File Explorer with root access
5. Camera2 API
Procedure
1. Open file explorer and go to "/system/app/miuisystem" and copy the "miuisystem.apk" to phone memory
(Also make a backup of this file elsewhere)
2. Copy the downloaded "kenzo.xml" to phone memory
3. Install and open APK Editor then touch "Select an APK file" option
4. Select the "miuisystem.apk" from phone memory (From step 1) and choose "Simple Edit"
5. Navigate to "assets/device_features/" and locate "kenzo.xml", then touch the edit button on its right
6. Now select the "kenzo.xml" (From step 2) and touch the "Save" button on the right, then save the apk using "Save" button on the bottom
You will see a message, saying that the new apk was saved to "/storage/emulated/0/ApkEditor/tmp/gen.apk"7. Open file explorer and go to "/storage/emulated/0/ApkEditor/tmp/" and rename "gen.apk" to "miuisystem.apk"
8. Move this "miuisystem.apk" to phone memory (For easy access from TWRP)(Optional)
9. Now reboot your device to TWRP recovery
10. Mount "system" partition
11. Open TWRP file explorer and navigate to "/system/app/miuisystem" and delete "miuisystem.apk"
12. Copy edited "miuisystem.apk" to "/system/app/miuisystem" and set CHMOD 755
13. Reboot your device and you'll see new options unlocked in camera
If it's taking too long to reboot it means that something went wrong (Good thing we have backed up the original miuisystem.apk). Boot into TWRP and restore the miuisystem.apk and repeat the steps carefully.
Note
This method works for other devices running MIUI8 but you'll have to extract "youdevicename.xml" from "miuisystem.apk" and edit it yourself.
As always, I'm not responsible for damaged devices, do it at your own risk.
Have fun!
Bugs
1. Somehow the system timer (inside system clock) breaks. It doesn't sound the notification when timer runs out.
2. Exposure time setting in camera has no effect.
If anyone here can help me fix this, PM me.
Nice one bro

Hi, I can see this in your xml file:
<!--whether the device supports phone call noise suppression-->
<bool name="support_phone_call_noise_suppression">false</bool>
was it by default on false or did you change it?
This may help solving issue there is on Redmi phones, the noise cancellation get activated when recording video and this is causing awful result in the video file.
There are several bug report on miui forum about this, actually what we need is to disable "noise cancellation" for everything else but phone calls.
(you can see video that explain the issue on redmi 4, but redmi 2 and 3/3s... have this issue too...)
Do you have an idea?

Hello people, I have a big Problem. The Stock camera is just making a Green Image. Yesterday i did take pictures from my bike Tour and now ever Thing is Green. In video-picture-focus mode
Apps like cameringo are not effectet. Dont know where the Problem should be.
I cleanen the Cache and everything.
This is the link to one pic https://picload.org/view/dggcdprw/img_20170908_163208.jpg.html
Did you change your DPI or Font-Size? Or did you mess with any kind of build.prop editor?
Do you have night mode one?
I didnt change anything. Thats why i Was so confussed about it.

I have seen this before on the HTC 10 the problem was actually because users had flashed a new ROM from a different base but had not updated their firmware.
See if this the case for yourself.
If your firmware doesn't match the base you're on then update it.
I dig this thread out because I have the same error again but this time i know why. Allways when i edit the build.prop and Reboot i cant take pictures because they are green. This time i tried to set the soundcontroll to 50 clicks for better adjustment. No big deal and no big change. And last time i tried to Set the Screen Resolution to 4k for YouTube vidz.
Question is why is the cam allways broke
Are you taking a picture of a green sheet?

you must be rooted
Go to play store and download ES File explorer
Give ES Root permissions
go into local device -> system
find build.prop tap and hold the icon
now click more in the bottom right, click properties, find permissions and click change then choose the following

Yikes. Maybe try clean flashing. Or going into twrp and trying the option Fix contents under the advanced tab.
Had the same problem.
Setting the build.prop permissions to 644 saved me.
