Well I don't know what to say...

First, thanks [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] for all of your awesome work on this builds.

Second, I understand that you actually creating unofficial builds for LOS 15.1 making the recent build of LOS 14.1 the last ever official build here. Leading us to...

Third, I'm stock in the March 24 build and (I didn't update in a long time, I know blame me :( ) I don't know what to do now.

Fourth, only very recent builds from May to June are on the LOS website, so those are the only builds that I can choose for update.

Which are the most stable build of the website that I could choose? Please help me I really want to update.

Thanks in advice!

My wife's S4 Mini has been running on lineage-14.1-20180616-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip for more than two weeks.

To me this build seems to be fine (as have the previous ones been, too).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] chillilounge84:
Hi [MENTION=4203728]heilbron[/MENTION], thanks for your reply. I did make that question because I had seen some post of the newer June 24 build have some issues.

I didn't mention that my phone is the gt-i9192 variant so if someone had tested the June 16 build for the gt-i9192, please tell me how it goes.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] itsbb:
Hi chillilounge84,

It should be the build from 16.06, because here are the last security patches (2018-06-05) integrated.

Changes to the build from 24.06. are not listed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] chillilounge84:
Ok, I'm downloading the June 16 build right now. I will try it out. Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] chillilounge84:
Hi, after flashing the June 16 build everything seems to work fine. Thanks for everyone who help me!

So as I understand, there were no be another new build until we get a new dev, or this is the end for this builds?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MarcWilmots:
Thank you

Hi arco,

my S4 mini ist broken and i am a little bit sad. I used it for five years, because of your work and your ROM. I liked it very much.

I got an S7 now which is a nice piece of hardware, but i miss your software.

Thanks a lot and all the best for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
From what I can gather, there will be no more 14.1 builds from [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] (official or unofficial), however he will continue to prepare unofficial 15.1 builds.

I have not made the switch to 15.1 yet, however assuming the above is correct (and that 14.1 will not be updated any further), perhaps now is as good a time as any to transition to 15.1. I read that 15.1 is actually smoother than 14.1, so there's probably no reason not upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] itsbb:
At the moment I am working on building of signed 14.1 builds, later 15.x builds and building the infrastructure (for tests, signature, changes, etc.). But it will take some time and depends on if / when [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] provides new builds.

Unfortunately, the developers give little information about the current situation, when there will be the next updated builds.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] chillilounge84:
I would glad to do that transition, but since my device is the gt-i9192 variant probably is not a good option (@arco68 said that there are issues with that variant).

For now on I will stay with this build (June 16), maybe update to June 24, but only until hearing something about new builds.

Could someone please try audio FX with FM radio on June 16? Seems broken in June 23. No effect on sound with any setting.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Philipp_:
As I understood it, the only issue is that you can only use Sim #1 for data. That's it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toejam119:
I tried AudioFX while playing FM Radio and had no audio effects on any setting. I have official 14.1-20180616-nightly, device is serranoltexx (GT-I9195).

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

15.1 so far doesn't have support for BLN so if that is important, like it is to me, I suggest you don't upgrade yet. It is very important to me because I can't miss calls for hours and I'd miss them if there were no LEDs lighting up after a missed call.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mielletseed:
I moved to 15.1 and went back to 14.1 after three days. For me the "data only on SIM slot one" is not a minor issue since I'm often in situations where my SIM1 gets no connection (in cellars for example) and I have to switch to SIM2. Okay, that could be managed by shutting down the phone, opening the back, changing cards and booting up. But there were more downsides for me

1. no data at SIM 2 (as already explained)

2. very poor GPS (even with FasterGPS apps that change the NTP servers) - I'm playing Ingress some times and the GPS was a pain in the ass :D (after coming back to 7.1 all was fine again)

3. NO BLN support (!!!) - yes I tried ambient display - it's nice but no replacement for BLN. It was good to have both together but BLN is much more important to me

4. no SELinux support

5. maybe a little bit unstable at call / data behavior - i have no evidence but the suspicion the cellular network performance was not so good all the time for my GT-I9192

Beside that I really loved the 8.1 build but for me it was not usable at this state.

[MENTION=9285764]itsbb[/MENTION]: it would be great to have mor 14.1 (7.1) builds!!!! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Thoadi:
You could use Tasker to add BLN in 15.1. Because I have a screen cover, I won't see it, therefore no need for me. Torch/LED would need too much power I guess and on a table it's also not visible. Let the phone vibrate some times in specific pattern is also possible as an idea, but I don't care that much for missed call.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toejam119:
Can you confirm this? Because in serrano 15.1 thread it is mentioned that BLN is not supported (yet), though the post is from Feb 2nd 2018, maybe they have added it after?

Also I use BLN in official 14.1 via Tasker command since the BLN Control app is not supported after KitKat.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mielletseed:
I don't know how exactly Tasker supports BLN. When it's only used to enable the BLN feature of the kernel then it doesn't work definitely since the kernel does not have BLN support.

When tasker does light the LED itself somehow on some defined events then it shold work independently of the kernel.

And it's not relevant to other if one uses BLN or not or cares about missed calls or not. When someone misses this feature independently whether other people miss it also or not ;)

Reasons to drop official support

Hello,

my immediate reaction was "would it be possible that I step in to get my serranoltexx supported?"

Even the wiki page says "A build guide [...] to make private builds, or even restart official support."

So what are the obstacles? The phrase "stir up" seems to indicate the problem lies in communication more than technical reasons, is that true?

If I succeed to make a build is it any good? Is there a chance I can get s4 mini back?

If you prefer to send a mail directly to me, I'll do my best to keep it for myself and not stir up things.

Stepan

Guys

I've installed this version of lineage on my phone but there are three problems which cannot figure out.

1- I cannot select and delete SMSs grouply, why?

2- Why there is not any "En" key in the keyboard when I want to write an SMS while it's available for me using Telegram?

3- How can I clear the History of the Contacts? (miss calls, received calls,...)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toejam119:
1. Long press per chat gives you options to remove it. You can long press multiple chats also.

2. I'm not sure what "En" key does but you can download keyboard apps that might have this feature.

3. Press the phone icon on the bottom, in favorites tab you can long press and remove the contact you want. In call log tab, look in the top right hand corner, you can see the three dots, press that, select "call history", then again see the three dots top right, select "clear call history", now you can select if you want to remove individual call logs or all logs.

---------- Post added at 19:23 ---------- Previous post was at 19:15 ----------

I don't think Tasker has native support of any kind for BLN. I just run a command in Tasker "echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/enabled" in root (via a widget) and it activates BLN in 14.1. Then I have another widget setup for command "echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification/enabled" when I want to disable BLN, for example when I put my phone in my pocket.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Rozeh:
I can remove chats using the long press but cannot do it in a chat to remove SMSs. Just tried it but I can remove one SMS using the long press. it's not normal for me.

What can you do with "Enter" key when you're writing? you can go to another row.

Thank you for your response
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toejam119:
Oh "Enter" key! Yeah, you're right, it is missing in default SMS app. I've always used Chomp SMS which has it, in it it makes a new row.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Thoadi:
I try in Tasker with a missed call profile that start button backlights, but they don't work when the display is off. Phone have to be awake (possible with secure settings), but I see it's not an alternative... Sorry
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mielletseed:
Then this wouldn't work in 15.1 since the kernel doesn't support /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightnotification for now.

LineageOS 14.1 (serranoltexx) for S4 Mini - *No longer maintained*

Thanks itsbb for that information.

I'm currently using LOS 14.1 (serranoltexx version) as daily ROM and being very happy to continue using that nice sized/performance phone and also prevent programmed obsolescence from the big guys. I'm not ready to trash this nicely working phone! Unfortunately, I saw recently, as you did, it will no longer be maintained, which I can understand for a 5 years old phone and maintainers move forward also... I'm mainly concerned about security if continuing to use current version that as a daily ROM.

I'm a computer engineer, former Java/Linux developper, today's recycled as a Project manager, but still close to IT development.

Here are my questions:

1) Can I give a hand on maintaining GT-I9195 support for LOS 14.1/15.1 for community users? Easy? Hard? To what extent?

2) Is 15.1 stable and performant for secure daily use (with banking apps for example)?

Again, huge thanks to [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] for his previous work...

Thanks in advance for your valuable time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
You can maintan your Device

To what extent I can say"It is not an easy task"

For I9195 Lineage 15.1 is stabe(only ril issues for I9192).You can use it as daily driver.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fassal:
it is said to hear that development stopped for the S4 14.1. Anyways, thank you all involved in this!

Now, what would be the best build and version for daily and secure use? Many here say 14.1?

And since the downloads at LineageOS are down, where can I get the latest (or better last) build of 14.1 for the S4?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
Lineage 14.1 is down But 4 Builds are there in offical Lineage page.You cannot find them.Since you use direct link.

I9192

https://download.lineageos.org/serranodsdd

I9195

https://download.lineageos.org/serranoltexx

I9190

https://download.lineageos.org/serrano3gxx

You asked which one is better.Some users having problem with 24062018 build So you can use 16062018 Build it is most stable one.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ra8ul:
It confirmed i have tried with stock rom 4.4.2 samsung slim version 14.1 and 15.1 both version ask me to restart the phone as sim is removed but sim work fine in stock roms is it the same for all of you. This happens randomly some times second sim goes offline and after a few days both sim goes offline i have one roaming and one non roaming sim.i have been wanting to upgrade my rom for 3 years and now i cannot decide on which rom to use as i am facing issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
I don't face these issues I am using I9192.I tried every single Rom Made for I9192.Never faces this issues. [MENTION=9213770]ra8ul[/MENTION] You can try to flash latest Samsung firmware with Odin and then flash your favorite Rom.

In recent July Build of Lineage 15.1/Aokp Oreo 8.1

signal Icon of sim card in status bar suddenly disappear(not happening in previous build). Only icon disappear other sim card functionality is working fine like Call/Msg/Data.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
arco68 has stopped the support for LOS 14.1 of this device, so it will not come an newer Version of this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fassal:
Is there still someone developing LOS 15.1 for S4mini?

Would you recommend using one of the latest builds of LOS 14.1 for daily use? Is everything working and secure? Or might it b better to stick with the latest CM13 Snapshot?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toejam119:
arco86 is still developing LOS 15.1 for serrano devices (S4 Mini), but 14.1 is halted for now. As far as I know, yes, the latest version of 14.1 is secure (Android security patch level: June 5, 2018) and seems to be working just fine. Security wise LOS 14.1 is much better than the old CM13 and I'd say feature wise too since LOS 14.1 is Nougat.

Was it possible to generate unofficial builds (with newest security patches included) that could be installed over the official builds?

I can't move to 8.1 unofficial (dual SIM) but the 7.1 build were not maintained any longer ... :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:
Guys, it is not the end of the World; there are still several LOS based nougat ROMs out there (still being updated) for those not willing to switch to oreo. Look around in the forums.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mario24601:
Any you recommend?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toejam119:
I did check AOKP ROM for serranoltexx, for some time after official lineageos 14.1 was killed, but it showed "no change" always in the update log so I just thought they stopped updating it but now there are changes and one is "Security string to 2018-08-05" which is the most important part for me :) This is excellent news! Assuming it supports BLN (it should as it is based on LineageOS 14.1).

Any idea if they're going to keep (security) updating it even after other models go to Oreo?

edit: Just a confirmation: I installed AOKP ROM Nougat for serranoltexx and it does support BLN. Also if someone else freaks out a bit like me when the hardware navigation buttons backlight doesn't work (when you press the keys), you just have to click "disable hardware buttons" and re-enable it, this fixed the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mielletseed:
It's not the end of the world - that's true. But I have to setup my device again to try or to use an other ROM and I hate to set it up every now and then. I was really glad that LOS was such an easy and reliable system. But I don't want to complain, I only wanted to know if there is an option to get security patches to my device without the need of installing an other ROM ...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:
Yes, the log is buggy not showing much for some reason and people are focused on ore and pie now so I don't think it will be fixed for nougat. It will be updated for quite some time; I am doing this these days :) Even MM is updated but only a few times a year.

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

If you look at my signature you'll see what I like besides Lineage :) XenonHD maintained by [MENTION=6418283]noppy22[/MENTION] is also excellent and RR also used to be good but I am not sure if that one is still updated. There may be others as well, I did not follow it lately.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

If you are on official LOS, then you have no choice but start clean with another ROM or even with an unofficial LOS if you build it yourself. The reason behind this is that the official build has a signature verification feature which among other reasons was there to keep people from dirty flashing different ROMs on top of each other and create issues this way.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Csiliz:
A few days ago, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195) disappeared from the website "https://download.lineageos.org". Why? Do you still have updates? I've been using this for a long time and I am very pleased with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Orus78:
Go to the first post.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Csiliz:
There is no answer to my question. The last update was on 24 June 2018 (or more precisely on June 16). None has ever since. Updates were published weekly before.

There are versions 15.1 and 16.0, but they are still in an unofficial test. Only 14.1 have official builds.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] toejam119:
It actually disappeared from download.lineageos.org in July 2018. There are no new updates for official 14.1, only unofficial 15.1 (and 16?). You can get ROMs that are based on official 14.1 like AOKP (which I use now) this one gets steady security updates at least once a month. It has same features as official 14.1 plus some more from AOKP.

Anyone out there has a copy of /lineage-14.1-20180624-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip or also an older nightly build of serranoltexx ?

So I had a look at archive.org and they have a version from January in their archive. Still downloading so I can't say if it's intact so far.

Have a look at this snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20180125105716/https://download.lineageos.org/serranoltexx

At least the first two versions are downloadable. Just be patient. It firsts says there is a redirect and then starts the download. It takes like 10 to 30 seconds or so. Checksums are downloadable as well.

I can now confirm that ee8371530095d630b9f5c64ae3a661ca76aaf0acb0206ed7cdc473e7972f6b79 lineage-14.1-20180119-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip has been intact for me.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Sorry*:
I have an - let's say - interesting issue:

My Galaxy S4 mini was working fine for more than a year with Lineage and now, out of the sudden, it is not booting anymore. Two days ago it went of because - I think - the battery was empty and yesterday I couldn't turn it on anymore. It was at the November release of lineage. So, after it didn't work I tried to flash Lineage again using the January release, because I didn't have the other one anymore but the issue remains. It hangs at the boot animation forever. Sometimes it's getting hot, sometimes not. Unfortunately I have no idea how to find the cause. This is no major issue for me as its only a backup phone, but I'd still be interested in finding the cause.
