SamsungSystemSupportEngine 6.3.3.0 Patched for Non-Samsung Devices (Works on One UI Book 7's settings app)
This repository contains a patch for SamsungSystemSupportEngine.exe that allows you to use some Samsung features that may require Samsung Settings, most notably Samsung Multi Control, on laptops that are not manufactured by Samsung.
Note
You can find the tutorial on how to use this patch in the repo's wiki. And while this note exists, I should update the repo when the driver gets a major update, normally. You will need to change branch and use the branch of the adequate version of the engine you need
Samsung software, like Multi Control and Samsung Settings, are most likely to include checks to ensure they are running on genuine Samsung hardware. Without these checks being bypassed, these features either won't function/crash on non-Samsung devices. A common instance is a crash in SamsungSystemSupportEngine.exe with a ucrtbase.dll error when Samsung Settings is launched on a non-Galaxy Book.
This patch modifies a single instruction within SamsungSystemSupportEngine.exe to bypass a hardware check related to ACPI driver and device verification as the support engine checks for a driver named Samsung Event Controller, this driver makes calls to an ACPI device named SCAI and is only present on Galaxy Books. Installing this driver on a device not manufactured by samsung will just make it fail to start with Code 10 (instruction is not supported).
The engine doesn't start automatically as this is done by another driver (Samsung System Support Engine 🤓) and requires you to make a service to start it automatically on boot.
Not related to the Settings directly : the Samsung Cloud app will NOT sync Wifi and Bluetooth if you have Encrypt synced data on as:
- It requires Secure Boot to be enabled (Will say Knox Matrix did not respond)
- Knox Matrix Service can only be ran on x86/64 Galaxy Books (On non-Galaxy Books it will say the device doesn't support encryption with error code 0x1001)
Warning
Some Samsung apps check for some Registery keys to see if their value corresponds to the values a Galaxy Book would have and if it doesn't find any "relevant" values, they will not launch. You will need to use a script to spoof your device as a Galaxy Book. Do note that those spoofed values reset on boot, but the scripts should take care of that for you.
Enjoy some more unlocked Samsung features on your non-Samsung device! And reminder to use 6.3.3.0 from https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Samsung%20System%20Support%20Service%20 !
