From my experience you should only use nightlies.

Also on my phone this snapshot worked flawlessly. Very stable.

Your mileage may vary.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] johanneszab:
Can anybody help me out? I recently (2 Weeks ago) reinstalled stock 4.4 Samsung Rom for getting the Dropbox 20GB promo on my GT-l9195 after having CM-Nightlies for ages. I cannot even remember that i ever used it with the stock samsung rom.

Anyways, i'm not sure if its related at all, but i'm back on some nightly and when i try to flash a newer nightly now, it states in the recovery:

And yes, i'm sure i do have an serranoltexx. I'm completely clueless. Not sure where i could have messed that up ..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] arco68:
You flashed the recovery for serrano3gxx instead of serranoltexx I guess.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] johanneszab:
Thats it! Thanks alot again, arco. I wonder why i didn't think of that. ... Never thought of the recovery, only of the rom or broken NFC or some wired things. Guess i need to get more into flashing / modding again to prevent me from asking too obvious questions ..

Thanks!

Using M11 on my GT-i9195 with CM's own kernel. I have a couple of bugs.

1. Sometimes when I call someone and place the phone to my ear, if the person I'm calling doesn't answer the display stays off until the call times out. Also had happened to me while talking to someone, I have to wait for the other person to end the call.

2. Trebuchet acts weird sometimes when returning from other apps (no matter which app) and the volume rockers don't do anything, neither can I exit the app drawer with the back button. When that happens I have to stop it from the app manager and go back to home for it to restart.

3. Sometimes when I'm playing games, not all touch inputs get registered. This is very irritating as I often lose because of it. I don't know if this has to do with CM but I saw someone complaining about it and he was blaming CM, so I thought I would mention it.

Let me know how I can help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] berndy2001:
Just want to kindly ask you, if there are news on this topic? Do you need more information about the kernel modules?

i found this change: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/259692761d44fa74d05611f66d0082b23dd4e53e

So i can try it with nightly?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] arco68:
Yes, it's been added and should work with latest nightlies.

Guys, I'm thinking about buying S4 mini. And I'm coming from S Advance which has finally got nicely working KK CM11 ROM.

The only software option for me is CM so the question is, is CM11 working satisfactory as for now? Do we have a nice, stable ver.? (a nightly or snapshot)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Razvan:
Yes we have. M11 snapshot its quite stable. BTW, me either i'm coming from Advance. :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] eaque:
Snapshots are very stable!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Humoxxx:
m11 snapshot is stable y smooth as i never saw in cyanogenmod roms.

Sorry for my bad english heh
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] adxuser:
It is good to know :)

Yes - I've seen that some of devs & others had opted for S4 mini.

Black edition looks good in my opinion :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Daredevil 720:
I just noticed DSP Manager doesn't seem to have any effect on my device. Does this have to do with the new kernel in M11?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] adxuser:
And what about battery life? Comparable to stock?

May I assume 2-days of moderate usage?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Daredevil 720:
Not really. I only get about 2-3 hours of screen on time. But then again stock ROM was the same.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] adxuser:
How is that possible? Are you gaming?

Though it's only 1900mAh then according to gsmarena endurance test near 10h browsing time (probably test was with stock browser not Chrome eating battery out) and 13h of video playback was possible.

How old is you battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Daredevil 720:
I haven't changed the battery since I bought the phone exactly one year ago. My battery life has always been like this IIRC.

Benchmarks don't really tell much about battery life IMO. Too many variables.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] adxuser:
I know it perfectly well anyway if they unboxed new phone, switched it on and watched the movies through 13h! and you get only miserable 2-3h screen time then there is sth. not ok here. So I'm not talking about benchmarks...

I understand that with more processing power & 1900mAh I will have ~the same as with S Advance, slower & 1500mAh.

But I expect at least 6h screen on time. Without gaming of course.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] eaque:
Same here!

No games.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] adxuser:
Guys, is it really so bad?

I had 4-5h with S Advance, now - with 1,5h year baterry I have 3h. Just reading news with Chrome, using Pocket, Play Newsstand, some other & multitasking.

I like the size of S4 mini & I need more than 1GB of RAM to work fluidly. Thats all.

But I can not accept 2-3h screen on time! This is ridiculous :/
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Daredevil 720:
You can squeeze more than 3 hours out of it with really low brightness.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] adxuser:
According to some people here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2757956 it can be better...

Anyway I have to think over S4 mini :/, doesn't look good, SOT is very important to me
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] leripe:
Well it highly depends on what you do, what you have installed, do you get more or less messages, last week's lottery numbers, do you limit cpu max, where you use your phone etc. random things which cannot ever be reproduced in the same way twice..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] adxuser:
All of that you wrote is perfectly clear to me ;) You forgot to add weather conditions and supply of gold on the market...

What I wanted to get was info: with light, carefull usage + higly selectively choosen apps you could have on stock 6h SOT and with a total mess of out-of-class apps, amateur cpu-overclocking kernels and push notifications coming in from different sources every second you could outload the battery in just one 1h :)

What is interesting here is however this gsmarena 13h movies play time. I think I should mail them to ask about it

GPU

Hi!

I've noticed something interesting things with the latest CM11 (Snapshot-M11):

The first one is that this device has a adreno 305 GPU (right?), and in an app called "Device Control" the GPU speed is set to 500Mhz MAX.

If wikipedia is correct then this device's GPU max speed is 400 or 450Mhz. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adreno.

I could set it to 320Mhz, and it does not heated up as much as with 500Mhz while gaming.

The other one is that the MSM-Thermal driver is turned off by default, I can turn it on with the "Device Control" app.

And in the extras menu setting the Powersaving to "1 - Balanced" helps a little bit too.

Maybe these could be the causes of the fast drain/heating up problems? I changed these values, and my phones survives the day a little bit more with one charge :)

I'm not really an expert in phones, just guessing here, but I hope I could help!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] viaimpedita:
OK i try today
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Robin>Hood:
So 2-3 hours of SoT with and how many hours does it go on one charge then? Using 2G / 3G / 4G ?

I normally have my phone only on 2G (or 2G + wifi)... was hoping on 3-4 hours of SoT with the phone going like 36 min - 48 max on one charge before selling my Xiaomi M2S ... If you could enlighten me! Really appreciated :) I rather buy this phone then the Moto G!

HELP!!!

Hi all ... I have a s4 mini LTE and I have a "snapshot M11.". I modified a build prop string and the phone went into boot loop! I don't want to restore everything because I have important data! Can someone help me?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] kyrillos13:
Just reflash the snapchot without wiping and you ll be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Step98:
No wrong, I tried everything but the only solution is to flash a zip with build prop fixed
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] kyrillos13:
Well, reflashing the snapshot from recovery does 2 things. First format the system (also wiping the build.prop stuff) and then flashing the snapshot. So its a clean install.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] _cosi_:
The problem is known, the cause is not. Updating the software again might help:

Still CALL function issues

Hi Guys,

I moved from CM11 M9 to CM11 M11 after a Format /System a Full WIPE DATA and CACHE.

Then I did perform a install of the CM11 M11.

The GAPPs-KK-201406.

I did NOT install Task Killer app.

and I still undergo CALL application issues....

After a while, I do not manage either to define a standard duration or a specific trigger but when I receive an incoming call or I do an outgoing call... Two types of failures can be undegone:

1) I do not manage to perform the call, the application seams to attempt to contact the person I am calling but the call application but no dial tone can be heard and at the end I have to cancel the call.

2) the call application seams to work : I can hear the dial tone then the connection seams to be established, the communication Timer is displayed and is counting BUT I cannot ear the addressee and the addressee cannot hear....

The only corrective action I can do to fix temporarely the issue is to reboot my phone. This fix always works but not for a long time.

For information, the occurrence rate is about 1 to 3 times a day ........ quite boring.

Do you have any idea ? Do Logs or Traces exist in Android application word ??? is it possible to activate specific log and trace activities ? (I work in aeronautics on information systems embedded on aircraft and we do have such logs inherited from Linux plateforms)

I will try to install the CM11 M11 on my old 9000 and use my Sim card to see if the problem can come from the Provider....

I am wondering if I would not reinstall the Samsung Original ROM to see if there is no Hardware problem .... since I never had such issues we the origial rom. Choosing such a solution would be a huge regression for me I move from It to CM ROM only 5 days after having purchased my new i9195 .....

Thks in advance for your help :)

Should we install this SNAPSHOT release over a Nightly? Any impact to be expected?

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Razvan:
You can install but first backup everything and FULL WIPE before flashing anything.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] llapao:
Thanks for your fast reply.

If I flash a nightly based on M12 would I have to full wipe too? I guess we will have a nightly avalable soon.

Thanks to all developers and specialy [MENTION=4668054]Darktitor[/MENTION], [MENTION=2047451]R_a_z_v_a_n[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4551463]leripe[/MENTION] for maintaining this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DeusEx80:
Without "wipe data", normally only on nightlies released before a certain date.

For example for M11, only on nightlies released before September 30th: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-0-m11

For the beyond nightlies the three wipe (data, cache and dalvik) are necessary.

For M12, nothing is known
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] llapao:
Thanks for the headsup! What would be the best way to backup and then restore apps and app data after I flash the M12 snapshot and full wipe the phone? Any particular app (I am thinking about Titanium Backup but never used it before)?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DeusEx80:
I use "Titanium backup pro" for user apps (do NOT restore system apps), "sms backup and restore" for SMS, and google syncronization for contacts.

And nandroid backup (from recovery) to roll back.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Ursurobertt:
Just installed the new M12. Running smooth :o
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] llapao:
Just installed M12 over the cm-11-20141110-NIGHTLY and against all the odds everything worked flawlessly and seamlessly. I did backed up all user data and apps, no need to restore them.

But your mileage may vary, I don't know what I've done in the past (I also upgraded MODEM for instance).

Do it on your own risk...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] scaliskano:
What is the change log for M12?

Hey Guys,

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] luisbraz:
No, you don't. You can flash M12 over M11 without any problem. I always did that. But always do a backup in recovery, if anything goes wrong you can get back.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dafie:
Shortly after updating to M11, I encrypted my phone (i9195). Now I would like to update to M12 but don't know how.

I found a number of guides via googling, but those guides don't seem applicable because the S4 Mini isn't supported by TWRP.

Can somebody here point me in the right direction?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] smartxdev:
I'm using CM11 on S4 Mini LTE for a long time, encrypted, and upgrading with each snapshot release without any problem.

I perform the update via option in settings, the usual way. You just need a recovery that supports encryption, and then provide the password on reboot, during the upgrade process.

There are few unofficial TWRP releases compatible with S4 Mini:

F4k's thread - [MOD][ROM][RECOVERY] All-F2FS for GT-I9190|GT-I9192|GT-I9195 [TWRP & Philz Touch]

ne0zone75's thread - [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][STABLE&DEV] TWRP [S4 mini] v2.7.x.x

Currently I'm using the ne0zone75's one, version 2.7.1 (the last one there had some issues on my device), and it works great for me, upgrades, backups (encrypted), flashing, etc.

Sadly though, the developer (ne0zone75) had to halt the development recently due to some personal issues, but mybe someone will pick up his work on. Anyways, it still great recovery for a daily use.

Alternatively, you may also take a look at F4k's thread and see, what people say there about encryption and other things.

Bottom line, there is no limitation for you to have updates on an encrypted device, just read, before you do anything and be cautious.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] aguaz:

Hi guys,

This is final release? CM11 M13 will not be released? Development goes to CM12?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Razvan:
Yes. Snapshot M12 was final release for CM11.

Next will be CM12.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] luisbraz:
And why still exists nightlies?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] llapao:
Because contributing developers are still correcting existing bugs and submitting the corrections :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] luisbraz:
So, we can expect another snapshot or a stable release!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] llapao:
Well not really. What I tried to say is that CM11 bugs are being fixed and they are propagated to all the platforms (for example). This doesn't mean that there are any kind of new development or even a snapshot coming... Just quick fixes for the existing CM11 M12.

I have to say it makes sense to me that the development is being redirected to CM12, CM11 M12 its in fact stable :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] luisbraz:
When CM 11 was under development, CM 10.2 received updates, so I think we can expect more releases in CM 11, although CM 11 M 12 is stable, like you said.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] arco68:
There will be another M release for sure.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] dafie:
I have an encrypted i9195 running the latest CM11 snapshot. Currently, I unlock it with a PIN. It's kind of a PITA so I purchased some NFC tags.

I googled for NFC tags compatible with the S4 Mini. Based on that, I got some NTAG203 tags.

Now I'm not really sure how to proceed. I found some HowTo's but they seem outdated. What is the best way to do this?

(Ideally, I would like to use the same stickers to unlock my Nexus 7 2013 as well. Not sure if that's possible.)

Missing apps after reboot

Meh. Upgraded my GT-I9195 serranoltexx from CM10.2 to 11.0 (M12, clean install) and now whenever I reboot two of my apps just disappear -- K-9 mail and es file explorer. They disappear from my home screen and my app drawer. The apks are still in /data/app . The apps don't show up in system->apps. If I fire up the play store and look for them they are marked as installed; I can uninstall and re-install them and they're back -- until the next reboot, when they're gone again. This is driving me nuts. I found one other user with this problem via google and they seemed to fix it by deleting the files associated to these apps in /data/data and /data/app-lib. But this has not helped me. How can I start to debug this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] aguaz:
It looks like it didn't happen in the end.

However do you know how long cm-11.0 will still receive security fixes? I'm not referring to your device repos but common cm-11.0 code maintenance.

Try booting to cwm, go to mounts and storage and use mount usb storage option.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Whosat:
There is no mass storage over USB on CM11. Your mac will therefore not be able to mount the device as an external storage device, but only as a camera device or media device through which iPhoto and the Android File Transfer tool utilises to transfer files. That's is also why the Android File Transfer tool was made for the Mac.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] r@nsome:
Well that's too bad, because then there is no way to sync music right? Kies isn't detecting CM at all, apps like doubleTwist don't do that either and iPhoto detects the S4 but doesn't show any pictures to import.

The only thing that actually works is what leripe suggested. And that is not really an option.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Whosat:
I use Spotify to sync my music OTA, but you can use any assortment of file management apps.
