As long as the platform is supported in CM, the device bringup for any device isn't that hard. Of course if it's an older device, it may take longer, because a lot of kernel updates might be needed and such. Luckily the S4 mini's stock kernel is very up to date, and it also shares some things with its big brother, so you can use its device repos as a base for the bringup.

Someone asked about the price - I paid around 440 euros for it, but I've seen it sold for as much as 560 euros at some netshops, so it varies. Remember though that this is the LTE version, and they are always a bit more expensive. I reckon the regular 3G version will go for around 370 euros.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Has anybody figured out how to root the s4 mini yet?......

My phone provider only launched their branded version today.......

And [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] are roms for the LTE version compatible for the other variants too?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
For root, I believe an insecure kernel is needed, like with most newer Samsung devices now. Shouldn't be a problem I think.

The different variants should be pretty compatible, so only minor changes should be needed for them to work too.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
OK.....so been having a look at the specs for the s4 mini compared to my current phone (s2)........

Screen size......identical but better quality

CPU....dual core 1700mhz vs dual core 1200mhz

Battery life (allegedly) superior

Android OS......not finalised at 4.1.2.....

So....an upgrade in every way.......

Trouble is that I'm only 4 months in to a 2 year contract :( and it'll be at least 14 months before I can afford to buy myself out early. Yes, the s3 and s4 and note and note 2 are nice phones, but they're just a little bit too.......big.

So the s4 mini will be what I get.......just the right size for me......and with ARCO heading up the dev team......bit of a no brainer really :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gdonanthony:
W thread will be a ghost town after finalizing all updates arco made...

s4 i9500 threads are boring but good news has come about Exynos5 ! and i hope devs will surprise me with it :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
yup, this is true :D but I'm still posting in this thread even nobody posting here anymore :p

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
Does this mean that you'll be supporting the non-LTE versions too? If yes, I'm definitely buying S4 mini after I began working for Samsung, I hope there will be an employee discount or something like that~
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 12alex21:
You are working at Samsung ?

Sent from my potato
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
Yes, starting mid-august, apps development division, nothing Kernel/OS related :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
well, try not to creating a bloatware apps :p lol just kidding bro :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
No worries x)

I think that my job would involve making current bloatware more interesting to use, thus users don't consider it as "bloatware"

Nevertheless, I'm still going to use CM from Arco on my future S4 mini (if i did buy it, if course)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 12alex21:
How did you get this job ? I would really love a job like this :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
AFAIK, Sammy's R & D division are located on Korea, UK, India, and Indonesia. The main HQ is in UK, iirc. So you might try looking at those locations.

In Indonesia, it is called Samsung MSCI Indonesia, located at Jakarta.

I got this job from Job Fair in my University, I applied and passed several tests, and with luck, I got the job :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SGWUser:
Guys, I just discovered this app for my Nexus 7, and after a couple of testing rounds I discovered that it also works with our W! I already contacted the developer to make our device officially supported.

What the app does, you can flash .imgs like kernels and recoveries, and you can also choose a zip to be flashed on the next boot. You can backup kernels and recoveries to Dropbox. You can flash 3 things a day for free, if you want more, you'll need to donate €1,50

Who are Malaysians here, raise your hand:p

Just want to know. Did s4 mini has arrived in malaysia or not? And is it got LTE version?:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
If the LTE did come to Malaysia/Singapore, most likely I'll order there, I bet Indonesia won't get LTE version, due to no LTE networks yet #sigh
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
I also think there will be an LTE version. Just need to wait to it arrive at Malaysia. Thanks.:D And also hope that all Indonesians also can get an LTE version. Because i need you guys:(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
I might have to compare the price between Malaysia & Singapore, though, I'll buy the cheaper one according to the exchange rate :p

We all need each other, and we complement each other, just look at the CM 10.1 discussion and there's your proof xD~

How much?

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

hahaha, SRP here in the Philippines for S4 mini is Php 23,000.00 while the S4 current price is Php24,000.00,
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Ok....so 24.000Php for an S4 = £370GBp.....that ain't too bad when you consider that in the UK an S4 is about £550GBp or 35, 558Php.......and that's just for the quad core.....

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jakelq:
hehehe, Php24,000.00 is the actual price of S4 in the philippines.

Mobile phones here in the philippines when converted to foreign currency are lower by about 20-30%, so I am expecting that the actrual pricing of S4 mini would be Php15k-18k, hehehe.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] muhammadnajmi96:
Here ! But I come S Plus forum :D , yeah definitely S4 Mini will come to our country and yeah it got LTE too :p , but LTE coverage is not available yet at my area which is in Sepang :) , In KL , LTE coverage is huge :eek:

I'm not going to rush if the price did reach 1,6k RM, That would be equal to IDR 5 million, 1 million above my budget :|
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
It's actually quite nice. Lot's of new stuff that the Wonder doesn't have. It's decently fast as well - a bit faster than the S3 I think. The screen is also pretty good - clear and sharp, and I don't really miss it not being 720p or higher. If it was a 50" screen, then you probably would see the difference, but in a screen this size, not that much. Less pixels = less power usage and faster phone. Battery consumption seems pretty good as well, it's at least better than the W anyway. Only real negative thing I've found so far, is the back cover. It's definitely more slippery than the one on the Wonder. :p

In other news - I have built ClockworkMod recovery for it, and an insecure kernel so it's easily rooted. I've also got CM10.1 booting on it, but there's definitely more work needed here, as currently there's no working audio, gps or nfc.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hotheabilly:
Yes :p its the great andreilux kernel. Sadly there's cpu throttling, so cpu overclock a bit useless -_- the cpu quickly limited to 1400mhz after reaching 75°C cpu die temperature (it was 90°c before, and first when samsung releasing this device, it was 100°c.) You know what? The gpu frequencies default is 480mhz not 532mhz as samsung claim. The 532mhz clock activated only when you using benchmark application, not in real world. Sh*tty black campaign.

Motorola is a great decision.

Moto devices had always been a cool design example to follow! The company had never struggled for some millimeters in size but always gave good batteries.

And now a buyer will have the chance to choose the material of a back of a device:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Rumour king! I am even more excited after these articles...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
who's here had get the S4 Mini? hehehe does the camera lag in low light? What I want is a zero shutter lag camera.

Does the sensor is same with the galaxy mega?

Samsung bought camera from SONY right? so is there a possibility that S4 Mini uses the 8 MP Exmor RS sensor? *same with Xperia L and or SP?*

LOL It's so fast, I'm now a senior high school student.. what about you guys? who has employed for work? congratulations for any of you that is now working and or graduated
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Wow, so many questions. Excited aren't you :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
LOL, YES! :D very excited.

actually, just to the point: "what camera sensor are GS4 Mini and GMega use? and does it lag on low light?" :P
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirhl:
by the way, talking of the SP

i still don't understand why i should buy the s4 mini, when there's the SP that outperform the sammy in every thing (but price is nearly 100€ less, for the LTE version)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
no, I said SP just for camera comparison
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirhl:
and you remember me that phone which i was thinking it would have been a better deal than the 9195

i mean: a way better gpu, 720p screen and a bigger battery. all this for about 100 less euros
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
how much is both? :what:

price here different I think...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
I think the SP is cheaper than the S4 mini in Singapore too.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirhl:
Well.. i must say i'm surprised too

I checked on ebay (italy) and the first (brand new of course) prices were 340€ for the LTE version of both phones. free shipping included

So i dont understand why arco paied so much. (I trusted him and i didnt check for the 9195 prices first, and i thought they were almost 100€ more)

Anyway (if the price is going to be the same) SP still seems superior imho
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
I read an article about an s4 mini. And in that article, it says that s4 mini doesn't have LED notification light. Is it true?:what: Can someone confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
okay, I'll think about SP. arco said that he wants Samsung because it's much easier to develop.

yes, this is true.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirhl:
Well, arco can do whatever he want :p

He already bought his favourite phone

However... this is the FIRST time i heard the word "samsung" and "easy to develop" in the same sentence

Afaik xda portal always criticize samsung, lg and motorola for their lack of sources and support to developers

And it emphasize frequently the openess of company like oppo and sony. 1. 2. 3.

(Sony, actually, is the oem of the year)

But i know nothing of developing, so i will stop here
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
yes, Samsung always sucks in sources. but samsung's system is more open.. developers have easy access into it..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirhl:
:0

have you more information about this?

i mean, i would like to know more on this "system"
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
Oh really? I thought it should have LED notification. I wonder why samsung not put LED notification.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Afaik, HTC is pretty easy to do stuff on it. Motorola probably being the hardest, followed by Sony...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
don't know much hehe. but, have you heard about unlocking bootloader in samsung devices?

all partitions is fully unlocked so no need to unlock bootloader. except like Verizon's SGS bootloader, it's locked and even encrypted.. *as far as I know

yeah I think it should be there too
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirhl:
oh, you meant the system of their phones, i thought you were referring to their open source hierarchy

anyway, sony devices can be easily unlocked from their website (like htc, for example)

the only devices that cannot be unlocked are that bought from operators but lately samsung does this too (or it's only for their flagship devices?)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
That make's me think twice to buy s4 mini. Because i unlike sgw just because it doesn't have led notification. But i think, maybe i will stick to s4 mini, because we got sir arco68:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
unlocking bootloader on Sony and HTC devices, does not mean

you have all access to all partitions. like *I heard* LG Optimus L9, we can't access the recovery. we can boot into it but can't change it, I think all that they are doing is flashing a temporary recovery that gone after reboot. like galaxy ace

mod the hardware :P then ask devs to make the led kernel hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
Yeah, i also think so. I help my friend root his xperia sl, unlocking bootloader and flash a rom. As i know, the recovery is implemented in a rom. For example, first fastboot the boot img. Then, i flashed for him opensemc. Then it changed to twrp. But when i changed the rom to pacman, the recovery change to cwm. It depends on a rom. I confused why it is like that. Maybe because of bootloader?

Good suggestion. I will try:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mirhl:
no, it's not due to bootloader

it's because sony (i don't know if htc too) hasn't a recovery in their phones. and so no default recovery means no recovery partition, it's simple (even if on xperia S and T you can flash a recovery in the FOTA partition, similar to what samsung users are usual)

and afaik, you can modify EVERY partition. you just need to be rooted. just remember that without unlocking the bootloader, unsigned kernel wont boot
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
Oh, my bad. I thought it is because of bootloader. Thanks for the information:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
Guys, you know what? Our awesome dev, sir arco, already made insecure kernel and cwm for s4 mini. Also, how to root. Sir is really awesome:D
