Camera does not working neither with LOS only, neither with stock firmware.

But back on course after securing the ribbon cable of the camera module.

All is fine now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:
Great! Fortunately spare parts are cheap for our phone :) I wish there was a compatible higher resolution camera available
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] madvinegar:
I think that the last rom of Arco is very very good. I made a clean install. All is working fine and smooth. Battery life is great.

I really love it. A breath of fresh air for this very old little phone.

I big thanks to the devs for their hard work.

One question. I see that even if my S4 mini with the last rom of arco is android 7.1.1, the kernel is 3.4

My s7edge updated to nougat 7.0 but the kernel is 3.18

Why is that?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
When the hardware in this phone was made (2013), the main Android kernel was version 3.4, so that's what they used. Phones extremely rarely gets a bump in kernel version, so they're pretty much stuck with what they got. The S7 is a pretty new phone, so it's not surprising it has a newer kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] madvinegar:
Thank you very much arco for the explanation. I was thinking that the kernel numbers increase according to the android versions.

It's all clear now.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Hi, [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]

Thanks for an awesome ROM. Hey I was wondering, how can we help on getting this ROM stable and officially in the LineageOS download page :D

Are there any bugs we can help correct or test?

And seriously why is this ROM not official yet?

Thanks and keep up the good work:cool:

Hi. Whether it is possible to install an app called secvideoplayer from the samsung original 4.4.2 rom on this lineage7.1 rom? It is the only app that can screenoff my phone when i cast screen on my tv via screen mirroring. I know that vlc beta can do the same but he often crashes when i do it.

Hi guys! Excuse me but between lineageOS 13 and lineageOS 14.1, what do you think about the battery life? Which is better ? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jack_daws:
for my testing is better lineageos, in deep sleep over night is lower battery usage, lowest use battery percent power :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sairro:
I did the change from CM14.1 to the latest LineageOS build with a dirty flash. Used the workaround mentioned before to delete some app data of the system apps. No Gapps used.

Everything is working fine, I'm really happy with this ROM, in my opinion this release could go official ;)

Also i need to thank you, arco!

I use your ROMs since about 2 years now, you're doing an awesome job. Thanks a lot!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kot_Ik:
[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] Are these builds exactly the same that I can compile by myself from LineageOS sources? Maybe you are adding to your builds something that is not present in the main repo yet? Because I can't see any WiFi-related merges in serrano* repos for few days.

UPD: also i can't see any flip options (FlipFlap.apk doesn't exist in system.img). Repo sync'd and i have no idea why our builds differs.

UPD2: ah, now I can see (about FlipFlap). You rejected your commit to serrano-common repo by yourself, but here you put builds with FlipFlap. OK then.

encrytion option

Can somebody please check if the encryption option of the phone works with LineageOS 14.1?

If so I would defenetly upgrade to LineageOS. After so much surveilance and phone loss I wanna defently encrypt my phone.

Hope you can help out... thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] cdurex:
Awesome man, thanks, now edited I understand it better. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
The wifi patches are in the kernel repo. The FlipFlap one isn't merged because it depends on another unmerged patch, so for now I only have them in my local repo. Anyone else that wants to use them, needs to cherry-pick them.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Not yet.

No idea.

Should work fine.

Encryption works, but there's currently a bug that breaks SIM detection. Will be fixed in next build. So I advice to not encrypt until then.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sacair:
Hello,

First of all thank you very much.

I have some questions which are not clear for me.

What are the advances of having a custom on S4 mini? There are no additional functions. Sorry. Don´t find them. Installed your ROM thinking -> yeah new functions on my Mini S4 but instead of that I am missing functions.

EG: typing -> there are no ü, ä, ö.

disabled Vibration at touching just for Sound, although it is vibrating and so therefore anoying me.

Sorry.

And on top which was the main reason, Mini S4 is rooted and your custom. -> installed Alsa Mix to be able to increase the system volume for ringing and Music but it doesn´t find any System file. So nothing.

Please don´t misunderstood my critic. May I had wrong imaginations of a custom Rom. May anyone can tell me why to use a custom Rom. Just because of the apps to be able to delete od not to have? Thats all?

But there is ONE really positive!!! I did the custom on Thursday night and battery is still running!!! Still no loading and still enough battery. WOW. Camera is working perfect so no bugs which I could recognize like the others.

lineage-14.1-20170204-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip - b.t. earphone problem

Thanks Arco for this great rom! :)

Everything is ok but when I have a call by my b.t. earphone at the end of this call my phone can't be used, I attached you a screenshot about it.

I use this earphone before this update with https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-min...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-13-0-s4-mini-t3276141 and it was ok.

Just if I remove the battery I can use the phone.

TWRP restore bug

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] I can confirm now on a second build what [MENTION=6614989]jason972000[/MENTION] and myself reported. Upon restore with TWRP there is a FC for com.android.phone and flashing an update will not fix it either. Here is a log taken on boot of the restored ROM.

Some settings could be lost too upon restore. I had advanced reboot set but it reverted to simple reboot on restore

Hi csendre thanks you for updateing cm14 for DS

I tested your cm14 for ds and I'am happy cause 2g-3g switching works on my phone, hope it will not stop working after updates , any cm13 rom was problem if you remember I wrote too many times : ))

Now I have few problem with cm14 1_ can't open Developer options. and that why I think I haven't root access . 2_no video camera. 3_no bluetooth. but I like rom many new features are added. looking forward.

Thanks arco68 and csendre for your time :good:

Video recording doesn't work yet, it is a known bug.

If you flash the latest build (Oct 09) for DS, you will have BT, arco fixed it.

Developer options work the same way as always, keep tapping on build number several times to activate it. It is working for me, should work for you as well

Hi All,

Sorry for being off topic and don't wasn't to really spill the thread as i already post this question in Q&A thread but no reply from anyone till date. Below is the my concern:

I am facing a problem in Galaxy S4 mini "Sim card removed" . Whenever the phone heat a wee bit the message pop up Sim Card Removed, Restart your device. When device is cooled down and i restart it start working again but this means i can't use heavy application or put the screen at max bright which will heat the phone.

I searched xda, google but only i found the solution for galaxy S4 not S4 mini. See the link and video below;

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-fix-galaxy-s4-sim-card-removed-t3113480

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvFjyqG2oDc

If the same apply to S4 mini then I can disassemble but its not same like Galaxy S4.

Anyone help regarding the issue will highly be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Today i cant shoot images with camera, it want connect. Untill today camera was working without any problem, expect the video recording wich is known bug.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Vas0sky:
More bugs: system profiles cannot switch data connection on (they can switch it off though). Sometimes it loses connection to lte and switches back to 3g (lte is preferred network). There are many icons from cyanogen missing from quick settings (like profiles one, etc). Selecting some options from option search makes the settings app crash. Searching options is worse than on cm13.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] droopyar:
Thats because you change to video. To fix it, go to applications, camera application, and do CLEAN CACHE and force stop.

Reboot and now it works again CAMERA
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:
This sounds like a hardware or contact problem. I would take the phone apart and check if all ribbon connectors are firmly in place. I would also buy a SIM card reader and replace it, they are cheap off of eBay. For example look at this ad

This YouTube video will show you how to disassemble and assemble, I used it when I had to replace my SIM card reader which also broke about a year ago.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kenny Powers:
Just testing the latest build after updating from CM13 so far as already reported videos not working and file manager can't read SD card (Asking for root permissions)

Also status bar can't change battety icon or display precentage and quick pull down of status bar doesn't seem to be working.

Edit.

Looks like live display isnt working either, temperature settings won't save.

Hotspot not working, can set it up and connect to it but looks like its not handing out an ip address.

Looking good otherwise I'll report back after a full day of use.

Cheers for all your efforts.

Installed latest CM14 on my GT-I9195. All working fine (except ofcourse of the video camera).

I even managed to get Google Assistant working.

Google launcher and google wallpaper picker install as well (via twrp not apk, so even the left slide scroll in home screen shows the google tabs).

I big thanks to the devs for this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] xhoiZ:
Can you help me with a step by step guide to get Google Assistant working please?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] madvinegar:
1) I downloaded: i) The CM14 rom

ii) The nano open gapps for android 7

iii) The flashable zips required for the google assistant.

iv) Latest Google app apk (v. 6.6..14)

v) optional: Pixel Launcher and Pixel wallpaper picker flashable zip file.

(all the above can be found by a simple google search or in the XDA forums).

2) Placed all the above in my SD card and rebooted to recovery (I have TWRP).

3) Made factory reset, deleted cache and delvik cache and then started to flash the cm14 rom zip, then the gapps zip, then the velvet flashable zip, then the Google assistant flashable zip, then the Pixel launcher/wallpaper picker flashable zip. And then I rebooted.

4) After the reboot was finished, I installed the latest google app apk.

5) I enabled developer options (by pressing 7 times the build number in "about phone") and through that I enabled root access to "apps and adb".

6) I downloaded "es file manager" from play store. I gave to it root access and then I navigated to root (/) > system > build prop.

7) I selected to edit this file and more specifically:

I changed the line: ro.product.brand=Samsung to ro.product.brand=google

and added below the line

ro.product.model=Pixel XL

8) Saved the file, exited and rebooted the phone.

9) As soon as the phone rebooted, I opened settings > apps, I searched for the google app, I selected the storage of this app, then "manage space" and the selected "clear all data".

10) Exited, and then long pressed the home button and the google assistant appeared... :good:

Mind you, you need to enter into the settings > Fn buttons and change them the way you like. I personally selected to long press the home button to get the google (search) assistant. By default it may be that you may have to long press the menu button to get the assistant. Anyway, you can change it the way you like it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Vas0sky:
I have changed the build.prop, but I couldn't get google assistant working. Also, mobile hotspot is working.

Flip Cover

There is an original Samsung Flip Cover available for the S4 mini, to protect it in normal use. In this cover is a window, where you can see time and other infos. This lineage rom is the first, where you can use this cover info. e.g. cynogenmod never have had this function.
