[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JayjohnX:
Hello [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION],

I am using the GT-i9195.

I just updated from "cm-12.1-20150422-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip" to the latest "cm-12.1-20150508-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip" and I would like to give you a feedback.

Problems with the previous version:

1) When selecting Recovery in the Restart menu, the phone tried restarting into Recovery but then did a restart and started normally into system (like when not pressing the 3 buttons combo the right way).

2) When selecting the energy saving mode when being reminded at 15% of power, I could actually see the power droping: 15%, 14%, 13%.... When I deactivated then the energy saving mode it was again ok.

3) Sometimes (every 1 to 3 days) the phone was restarting without any reason

4) I cannot access the properties of the implemented weather app. In the system properties I can check if it is shown on the lock screen, in the status bar... But the app's properties I can only change when I put the widget on the home screen and then enter the app. Don't know if it is a generally CM problem or a specific of the GT-I9195 version.

5) In the file explorer at the bottom a bar exists that contains the 3 dot menu - all Samsung devices have a menu button that normally replaces this 3 dot button. As far as I know CM can be configured not to show this and use the phones button instead - the phone button in the file explorer has no function (nothing happens)

6) From other CM versions I know that when pressing the Volume down button first the System volume gets quieter and then it changes to vibration and then to silent. But here I can not change to silent - just to vibration. I don't know if this comes from lollipop (because below I can switch between "No", "Important", "All" - don't know if the translation is correct, using the German version) or if it is not working.

7) When starting the phone and unlocking the screen before entering the SIM Pin the screen will be locked for entering the Pin - but then (because the screen was unlocked before) I get a strange overlay of the homescreen and the lockscreen

8) In the camera app the flashlight button is deactivated - can not use the flashligt. But the driver is actually implemented, because the WhatsApp Camera App can use the flashlight and the torch is also working

After I installed the latest (20150508):

1) works now

2) better, but seems not completely fixed

3) just happened again - so still the same

4-8) Still the same

Another question - the System Updates (properties > About the phone > CM-Updates) - are this official updates or the builds prepared by you, meaning can I use them or not?

Thanks so far for your work!!!!!!

Hello all,

maybe not everyone likes having his contacts synchronized to Google - of course I can switch of the synchronisation but that is not the best way. In my case I just want to use Google or the GAPPS for the Playstore and Maps. So I am normally creating local contacts. But anyhow all local contacts are changed to Google Contacts over time or when I am importing (e.g. from VCF file) I can not select if they should imported as local, they are automatically Google Contacts.

Solution:

Go to properties > Apps > All and stop and deactivate Google Contact Synchronisation

I used ContactExport to export the Contacts to VCF, Contact Delete to delete all contacts and then I opened the VCF with the standard Contacts app and all are imported as local contacts.
