Not sure what you meant by 'feel original' but maybe you mean the drivers are more optimized since they have access to the tools that originally developed the hardware.

CM on flagship phone 'feels' more optimized because they are more widespread which means more developers are developing and testing it. Unlike lesser popular phones like the mini.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SHIRI:
You have to know the name of that .apk and then push it back to system apps, restart, and it will work.

I freezed one system app that made 3g not working, i defrost it and all working fantastic now.

So, i installed the rom from germany, rooted and deleted some samsung crap but the battery drained big time, the phone showed mobile netwok constantly active. Going to charge it and see if it gets better, any tips to help with this wird battery consumption?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] :
Try not rooting.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
The best way is always to use better battery stats to determine the apps which are causing the drain
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
I noticed that too when i delete or disable some / more bloat my CPU stay a lot more awake and the most strange part my ram stay ~900-1000 MB full. With all the apps there and updated to latest version my ram usage is ~600-700 = much better :)

So i decided to delete only Knox apps and libs and NOTHING more :) . I can hide them from drawer or place them on page 2/3 where i don`t see/use so often. All of this is on JB 4.2.2 but i guess same rule apply to KK ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] NGbod:
I did the same today and the Knox flags are gone too !! Or am I missing something. Only problem is Towelroot doesn't work on the Brazil 4.2.2 rom so I'll have to root the other way which will probably trip the flags again I think.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] VooDoo`:
I think that is a android related problem. Because mostly there is no reason noticeable with wakelock detector or bbs.

Check the deep sleep state with CPU spy and reboot the phone if it consume to much battery in standby. Sometimes you have to reboot it twice or more times.. it's an annoying thing.

I'm currently on CM11 and want to try the new Touchwiz Kitkat Rom.

I have to flash via Odin, exactly?

And what about the Knox Bootloader? Is it possible to go back to CM if I don't like Touchwiz?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9195 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Towelroot works fine with kitkat as most of the guys here tried , succeeded and reported. But with jelly bean I recommend flashing CWM via ODIN and the rootkit followed by latest supersu zip. Eventually you will find the need for a custom recovery and if you follow above method you are equipped well.

Also you mean """" knox void :: 0x1 """ became 0x0 ????? I downgrade thrice as of now and it is still @ 0x1. It has not reset.

Anyway Good luck. :good: :D:D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] NGbod:
I need to root it to run Titanium backup.

After going to 4.2.2 """" knox void :: 0x1 """ became blank there is now no knox text at all on startup, recovery or download, exactly like when I was on pre knox roms like mh3. Also no mention anywhere of custom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Wow...that is good...you mean to say there is no "KNOX" anywhere in download mode?? If so you must be very lucky:cool: and happy...:laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rolo143:
HI. I have the Samsung Glaxy S4 Mini (GT-9195L)

Can I flash the newest kitkat update for i9195 considering that my phone model has the "L" at the end? Or do I have to wait for another specific version for my phone?

Also if it is compatible (which I hope so) is there any method to root it? Considering also it has Knox protection...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Do not flash I9195 firmwares onto I9195L. You will hard brick your phone. Check sammobile firmware section for latest ROMs of I9195L.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30859 --- This is latest firmware for I9195L.

Never flash firmwares meant for other devices. Model numbers are meant to be particular devices.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] NGbod:
Yes no mention of knox anymore. I can't see any way of telling that this phone was ever rooted or had 0x1 knox flags.

There must be a logical explanation why knox has disappeared, luck shouldn't come it:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Right you are. We need expert advice. Hope someone explains how that happened. Then everyone can get rid of knox..:victory:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] NGbod:
Sorry guys,

0x1 warranty void is still there in download. I don't know how I missed it before.

The yellow writing about knox has gone though:silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] coastalcomms:
getting really bad battery drain with the Un branded German 4.4.2
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
You mean 'set warranty bit' text in yellow? That is absent because you are using stock kernel. When you flash stock firmware everything is stock except KNOX. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] NGbod:
Yes, I figured that was why it was absent, after I rediscovered the 0x1 bit.:D

The previous poster mentioned high battery drain.... that was the main reason for me going back to JB. I was getting 100- 10% in 2 - 3 hrs and the phone was almost too hot to hold. This was with the german rom and the belgian rom. On top of that I had a SD card that the OS wouldn't allow me to write to without workarounds and nandroid backups no longer worked etc, etc, etc.

What an abomination of an upgrade this is with no apparent benefits. I was runnining stock mh3 JB 4.2.2 with wanam extreme which had a user interface indecernable from the KK interface with white/ transparent status bar but none of the KK shortfalls. If I'd wanted to be controlled to this extent I'd have bought an Iphone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ADR USR:
Samsung always makes bad updates.Unsurprisingly.

I've done here complaints about the S4M. but lately I am happy with 4.2.2.

No root, custom kernel, etc.. I want to keep warranty for some time. I've been using for a few days.

5 days ago I have gotten great battery life and perfect operation of all functions. I hope this continues. I miss just root.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] karaern:
I can confirm that Terrible battery drain issue . Device on standby can stay just 1 or max 2 days . Again Samsungs superb update !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
Funny how a few of you just generalize a bad update or not working. I think for most the update works quite well with normal battery consumption and no issues at all.

Maybe you only had bad luck with flashing or anything else but it's definitely not the firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] karaern:
I did 4 flashes and the battery issue is Still there . It is a common problem with s 4 mini , seems caused by kernel issues . So hope there will be some applications that will solve that , although it seems almost impossible for now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
Yeah but not everyone has this issue. I can confirm that. The firmware ran without problems when I had it installed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] pedro311:
really?

What do you mean "without problems"?

What is your battery drain per hour when your phone is sleeping?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rmiguel320:
flight mode battery loses 2% every 5 minutes. for me it was so
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] coastalcomms:
with a little bit of Internet use i lost 51% of my battery in an hour and this has been tested with 3 genuine battery's, guess i will just wait till the UK version comes out and see if it's any better
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] :
The problem is YOU. To whoever is having problems with the firmware, it's not the firmware and it's surely not Samsung. It's you/your phone. Good Luck and Enjoy.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] rmiguel320:
for me so had problems, small battery duration. playing music gagged, very heated, high consumption of ram. I did wipe data and never solved. so I went back to 4.2.2
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
By no problems I mean no high drain, no overheating or any other issue.

I haven't watched how much the battery drained per hour. But a full discharge brought me with little to normal use nearly 1 day and a few hours ( round 30 hours).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] coastalcomms:
how did you get your i9195 to flash back to 4.2.2 i keep getting an error right on the last bit, iv used odon 3.07 and 3.09
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
Custom rom to flash in recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Mitko:
Battery drain is pretty normal here. I could not feel any difference than when I was with the Jelly Bean firmware and with the current KitKat firmware. Whoever is having overheating problems, it's definitely your own personal problem.

In my opinion, the KitKat firmware is definitely an improvement regardless the lack of the new TouchWiz look, I'm still thankful to Samsung for the firmware update.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] pedro311:
To be honest, for me it's a huge difference if my 9192 drain 1,5%/h (4.2.2 stockromlite v1.3RC1, 95% of deepsleep) or 4,5%/h (CM11, max. 73% of deepsleep) while it's sleeping...

//EDIT: I understand that this is topic about original KK not CM, but I think that difference here is minimal (problems with wakelocks in KK kernel).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] karaern:
Regarding to kk or not, that doesn't matter. S4mini had and still has terrible battery drain problem! And YES this is indeed a Samsung problem! To be little bit helpful, just give some ideas how can be solved, noone needs trolls here.let the brains works (Google cant do this for you:victory:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Charlie:
Guys with Belgium firmware my battery last the same wiyh jb (around 2 days) and the performance is sooooo high! Much faster from jb

So it worked for me with this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
If this firmware doesn't include knox it works
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] yannis11:
This firmware have Knox all so is the only stock 4.2.2 with same bootloader V2 with kitkat thats why you can go from stock kit Kat to stock jb.4.2.2 through Odin .;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] pedro311:
So I gave you the (partial) answer: first - get rid of kernel wake locks in KK, and only after that think about the rest.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] :
My phone didn't have KNOX, and I didn't know and flashed a KNOX firmware.

Anyways; some info you may find useful if you have a KNOX-free phone;

If you root it, than flash a KNOX firmware, your Warranty will still be 0x0.

DON'T you ever flash a KNOX firmware if you are staying with 4.2.2, but if you are getting 4.4.2; there's no other way.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] vesolec1:
does kitkat firmware have max seven pages limit on the screen? i cannot add more that 7 pages (screens), but can have less.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] NGbod:
I tried to revert to JB 4.2.2 with knox but failed due to SD card write permission problem. SDfix app doesn't work in JB so my apps couldn't access the SD card. I'm stuck on KitKat now with battery and signal problems. The battery meter has a mind of its own.....I rebooted whilst reinstalling apps, whilst plugged into mains, with 48% battery and 30 secs later it came back up with critical battery warning at 7%. The phone then gradually went back up to 100% charge in the next 30 minutes. 24 hrs later and it seems to have settled down a bit but it's still possible to drain a full battery in less than an hour when tethering.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
Well its always recommended to give the rom a few complete battery cycles to calibrate although I know it's a mystery :)

Tethering is for sure quite energy consuming but less than an hour as very little.

Well, Samsung's KitKit rollout sucks donkey balls. Nothing released yet for my region (Nordic), or a lot of other regions. And same sad støry with my Tab 3 8.0. Worst of all, they're not even released the kernel sources. :(

I don't even understand why the heck they need so damn many firmwares for one phone. There's like hundreds of region specific versions. It makes no sense. Can't they just somehow make one unified firmware to cover it all? Afaik HTC and Sony doesn't do any of this silly stuff.

Fingers crossed.

Would say May more likely ... For now only S4 / S5 / Note 3 have got the update.

Many other phones are planned, and hope Samsung have enough engineers to update all phones they have planned at once :)

Anyway they have a problem now with HeartBleed for 4.1.1 they must update that vulnerability too

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

As nice as having two sim cards would be, I would recommend the i9190 or i9195 unless you plan to stick to a stock firmware the whole time you own it. There doesn't seem to be much support for the dual sim as far as modification goes. But who knows, maybe that will change.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] XxM4tzexX:
unbranded international means without any carrier customizations. But if you have this one already you are good to go. I dont know the country code for south africa but a south african firmware is right one aswell ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] afme89:
I have an international unbranded i9195 for the French market. Funny because I bought it to a seller from USA.

We (unbranded international) have an advantage because of being able to switch from one region to another without issues. Although knox will activate for sure..
