yeah I just rooted my device by installing the linked KingRoot apk. It failed the first try but I tried a second time and now it works :)

I don't have custom recovery, nor kernel nor Xposed framework yet though.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] LoScienzo:
What is Stagefright?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] exzemat:
wikipêdia:

Stagefright is the collective name for a group of software bugs (or more specifically backdoors), that affect versions 2.2 ("Froyo") and newer of the Android operating system, allowing an attacker to perform arbitrary operations on the victim device through remote code execution and privilege escalation.[1] Security researchers demonstrate the bugs with a proof of concept that sends specially crafted MMS messages to the victim device and in most cases requires no end-user actions upon message reception to succeed, while using the phone number as the only target information.[2][3][4][5]
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Bibabuzzel:
Sorry, but I have a stupid question:

Can I use the Netherlands-version also on devices that are used in other countries / with other carriers?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DroidKing18:
Yes, you can, but I think if you wait, your country might come. They just (50 minutes ago) released one for region TPD here. I think I'm going to wait.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Tonyco1:
I use method described in the first post but with Super Sume v 9.1.9 and xposed installer from the first post and everything work like charm for the moment.

I added a bunch of disc images of kernels and recoveries (no new releases :( ) I also added the newest stock kernel if anyone needs it. (Released 11 Jan 2016) :D Also, TWRP 3.0.0-0 is out for our device, links are there. Is anyone working on CM by the way?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] nemuro:
Anyone flashed any of the stock firmware in the original post?

Mine came with the stock firmware from another country, and I would like to flash the one for my country to see if the cell phone signal is any better.

Should I bother?

BTW, will doing that trip the knox meter?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] OyyO:
I tried to change Kingroot with SuperSUMe but can't do this, course can't brake Knox. I try to install SuperSU it also can't brake Knox. Wtf?

I need custom kernel without bugs for our i9195i.

I also can mention that the Rom for each country has special BB (baseband - drivers for radio module). But there is no any Rom for my country... So i have unstable signal...

You've got a interesting thread here to stay up-to-date on info about our phone, but shouldn't you mention some credits to the guy(s) that found the cm11?

I think it's Chrisled2 talking about it on cyanogenmod-forum (i see he's active here also by the name of chrisled):

https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/110203-gt-i9195i-supported/?page=2#comment-591554

There are mentions about problems with play store, and playing video files in browser.

But thanks again for keeping us up-to-date!

Could you maybe try and test the infrared-functions with the custom rom? I use it for my television and decoder.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DroidKing18:
I thought OyyO found it first but I wasn't sure. I would've given creds to the devs but they don't seem to be on this site, if they are, tell me, but I've only seen them on 4pda, a Russian site. The truth is that I didn't test it enough to notice all the bugs. I lost a lot of interest when I found that I couldn't put Xposed on
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] lambdadroid:
Btw, there is a also TWRP 3.0.2 now so your links to the official builds are outdated - you may want to link directly to https://dl.twrp.me/serranoveltexx/

This was a very useful thread. I was banging my head against GT-i9195 recoveries and none of them worked.

Are GT-i9195i custom roms limited to your list or are there any other available except this list ?

Am I correct in assuming that GT-i9195 roms wont work properly for my GT-i9195i as the recoveries didn't work either ??
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ugynok:
So, if you have a GT-i9195i, then you do not have lineageos and twrp? I want to purchase a gt-i9195i, but if there are no twrp/lineageos then I should skip that...

So we have to install serranove version, not the serranoltexx, like https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/fu...13.0-20170318-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip ?

How to enable LTE for ATT in US

I have been trying to update my i9195i to work with the ATT LTE bands in the US. I have been able to do the NV edits correctly but still do not have LTE signal. I am wondering if I potentially need an different baseband and modem. Does anyone have modem specifically for the US that can be flashed to this model?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DroidKing18:
As far as I know, our device won't work in US with LTE. I'm on Tmo, and I only get 3g. It's not about software, we don't have the hardware. I think that US Cellular might support our bands, although I haven't tried (and if you decide to, please let me know results)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] mjluber:
LTE Bands

I have been following an older thread for adding LTE bands to Qualcomm phones from 2014 in regards to the Samsung S5. Using the QXDM and QPST i can clearly add LTE bands to the phone and they stick after reboot. However, I still do not have 4G LTE service in the US on ATT. It makes me wonder if I need a different modem but I haven't been able to find one for the i9195i that would be specific for the US market as the firmwares are largely from Europe. If someone could extract a modem that might flash successfully it would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DroidKing18:
I was also following those threads, but I never got round to testing it. Pretty interesting stuff. Keep us posted, I'd love 4g

I rooted my GT-I9195I as described above: everything worked fine, thx. My purpose was to remove bloatware, but I could not: in application manager, uninstall button does not exist.

Which Rom?

Hi, I have now rooted my serranoveltexx, installed Amplify (including Xposed) and Greenify, and I have experienced performance and battery improvements for the stock ROM.

What is the status of all the custom ROMs mentioned in the original post? Which is the most stable? And is it 95% stable or 100%? Which ROM are people using? Would it make sense to add a/open a new poll for this? I am not looking for cutting edge, but stability and decent performance.

By the way, LineageOS 15.0 by Danil_e71 can be added to the list.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DroidKing18:
The most stable ROM was definitely LineageOS 14, with only one bug that bothered me, which was the fact that sometimes, to connect to WiFi I had to reboot. LOS 15 isn't quite stable, and I remember CM 13 was ok, CM 12.1 kept bootlooping for me, and CM 11 had a fair share of bugs. (I doubt you'd want to flash the last two anyway.) I'd definitely recommend LOS 14 till most the bugs on LOS 15 are squished.

I'll add LOS 15 when I get a chance, thank you :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] oneearleft:
I am very happy that Danil is working on porting to our relative obscure version of the s4 mini. Is he currently the only dev working on our device? Maybe, we could get somebody to stabilise LOS14 (as I am not skilled enough).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] DroidKing18:
There have been other devs, but not full on committed devs. The closest to a dev, was a bug fix on LOSS 14, that fixed encryption, but otherwise nothing much. It's quite amazing that we have any dev at all, with a device like this, I'd usually expect to rely on TW. We probably could get more devs on the scene, if they are sponsored at i9195i

I have added a poll as per your suggestion, but I'm not sure how many votes it will actually get. I doubt many people even watch this thread these days. I don't even know how many people have this device anymore. LOS 15 has also been added

[HTC One Mini 2] xdario:
So today I dropped my one mini 2 and now the screen stays black. It is still booting fine though.

I was wondering if there's a way to get a VNC-connection to the phone, so I can still "use it" until I fix the display or get a new phone. However, USB debugging is not enabled, so I can't access the device via adb.

I was able to remotely install droid VNC server via play.google.com, but it probably needs configuration that I can't do without a working display.

The phone is currently running [ROM]NostromoPop 2.2.2 (21/12/15)[CM12.1][5.1.1] and TWRP 2.8.5.0.

I am able to boot into the bootloader by hardware key combinations and can access the device with fastboot.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
1- if nothing broken, send to HTC (say its just stop working) they'll fix it for free.

2-open and check cable connection, there's loads so there's a change its a loose one
[HTC One Mini 2] xdario:
I guess there's a reason for them to have records of which devices bootloader has been unlocked.. Do they still fix it for free?

Should I try that before sendining to HTC, or will I break warranty seals and loose any hope of getting it fixed by HTC?
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
look if you open it they will know for sure.

i sent my phone twice...and they repair it for free.

1 for software reinstall

1 for replace charging port ( i just receive it)

there's always a chance they will charge but if too expensive, you can refuse and pay the return postage. That's how it works in UK anyway.

​

Hello People,

Today i am going to show you how to extract bootanimation.zip from apk. So lets begin,

You would want to apply custom boot animation like the CM theme engine but as the animations in cyanogenmod are in apk format, you cannnot apply them on other Roms. But now don't worry now i have got a way to apply them to non-cyanogenmod devices.

Requirements :

Boot animation apk. I will use the one given below.

File explorer (I would use Es file explorer)

Steps :

Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.

Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.*

Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.*

Now*go to the root folder and navigate through system>media.**Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file

Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak

Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.

For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart...

Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.*

Note :

You are choosing to make these modifications, and dont point the finger at me for messing up your device.

I always used WinRAR to zip my flashable zips

But recently I wanted to change to 7zip, which seems like a much better option.

The zip is created, but when flashed in TWRP it says 'zip is corrupted'. Note that I use 7zip default settings to zip (Compression-level-Normal, Compression method- deflate)

Maybe some thing I'm doing wrong?

With WinRAR, default settings (Compression level-normal) works fine though...

Step-by-step installation instructions

A. Rooting (Recommended watching this YouTube video. If your device is already rooted, skip step A and move to step B).

1.	Download and extract the MD5 file for your device provided in the first post.

2.	Open Odin (it is assumed that you are using odin 3.09 and Samsung USB drivers are already installed in your PC/Laptop).

3.	Press the 'AP' button and select the extracted MD5 file for your device.

4.	Restart your device into ‘Download Mode’ (by pressing Power, Home and Volume Down buttons together) and connect to the PC/Laptop via USB cable. An 'added' message will be obtained in the white space of odin, only if the device is recognized.

5.	Now press 'Start' and wait for a moment to finish the process which eventually leads to restarting of your device. Your device is now successfully rooted. A new 'SuperSU' icon will be now visible in your app list.

B. Installing custom recovery (instructions to philz recovery for SHV-E330S/ GT-I9506 are provided. This may work in SHV-E330K variant as well, however, not tested. If it doesn’t work, you may require to find out one by yourself from the XDA threads. If you already have a custom recovery installed on your device, skip this step as well and move to step C)

1.	Download the TAR file provided in the first post (same file for both SHV-E330S/ GT-I9506).

2.	Open odin, select the RAR file in 'AP', restart the device in to ‘Download mode’ and press start (follow the instructions given in step A). If everything goes well, philz touch recovery is now successfully installed in your device.

C. Installing CyanogenMod 12.1.

1.	Download the CyanogenMod ROM, GAPPS and the Kernel from the first post.

2.	Copy ROM, GAPPS and Kernel into the main folder of your external SD card.

3.	Reboot your device into the newly installed ‘Recovery mode’ (press and hold Power, Home and Volume Up buttons together).

4.	Wipe data/factory reset and Cache partition (available under 'Wipe and Format Options').

5.	Flash the ROM by using the 'Install Zip' menu (press and locate the ROM zip file).

6.	Flash GAPPS followed by Kernel as well by following the above procedure.

7.	Now reboot your device (first tab: remember, the first boot requires few minutes to finish; don’t lose your patience).

Now you are successfully escaped from Samsung’s TouchWiz interface and an infinite number of pre-installed useless apps. Enjoy the taste of pure android and CyanogenMod.

Known issues

So far not noticed (for SHV-E330S only).

You tell me.
