I must also say it is running without any problems. The problem is there is no phone that is small and a good custom room. Maybe new A3 (2017) or xperia x compact but no good custom room. I am wondering why companies force preinstalled apps and so on. Nobody really likes that.

Anybody that did not upgrade from CM 13 it is safe.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] RedSkull23:
Same was for me until my S4 Mini lasted. CyanogenMod/LineageOS are amazing OS, they literally resurrected my phone and gave me the chance to benefit of recent security patches, newest Android updates, features and many more. They made me feel satisfied by what i had without envy nothing on newest phones (except hardware of course) even because they had older versions than ours :D personally I've never detected laggy experiences like reported by the user above, neither after dirty flashes over and over for more than a month. This rom is really well build, so i suppose that something went wrong during the flash process... [MENTION=1798117]Shmaic[/MENTION], can you provide more details? You modded some partitions or formatted something else than what you should? You had Xposed? Did ya tweaked something..?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :
I've modded several phones and tablets over the year, dating back to the days of the good old Motorola RAZR, and although I'm not into programming and stuff I consider myself an experienced user when it comes to installing custom roms and phones etc. Although Lineage 14.1 runs smooth, I recognize that disk/memory access or read/write speed if you will is sometimes really slow. The phone starts to lag when I move files from the internal memory to the external sd-card and vice versa or try to access big files like an 8 MB picture (music playback is fine, also on large audio files, and a reboot makes it better for a short while). And the odd thing is that the external sd-card is faster than the internal memory, usually it's the external sd-card that generates problems. I haven't modded any partitions, use the standard ext4 filesystem and haven't had issues during flashing. I've installed the Remix custom kernel and played with several settings to see if that makes a difference, but no. I don't know what causes the lags, but I didn't have them when I ran CM 13.

So depending on what I'm doing I notice a distinct difference when it comes to read/write speed. But Lineage 14.1 is an improvement over CM 13 and runs really smooth for 95% of the time, so I still prefer this to CM 13 as my daily driver. So to me it's more a discomfort instead of a real problem, but yes, there is a difference.

glonass

With the 14.1 nightlies the gps is getting fix but glonass not working??

It is seeing them but not fixing

(It was a problem in the past with kitkat)

Can it be fixed?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] afterglow:
What sort of method you used to measure performance on internal sd on lineage14 vs cm13? have you run a benchmark before/after and compared?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] k44mos:
Can i use opengapps? if yes, which versione i have to download for GT-I9195, ARM 7.1 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Mek7:
Yes. As stated in first post, use pico, nano or micro package, others break all sorts of things.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :
No, I haven't. For the simple reason I don't have the time to go and look for a suitable benchmark. And for the simple reason that I've learned over the years that every custom rom has a thing or two that doesn't work quite right. Sometimes some users experience bugs that others don't, because technically identical items often vary in behaviour for no apparent reason. As long as a bug doesn't really affect the use I make of my phone, I don't mind and still prefer the newer rom over the stock one (in this case Android 7.1.2 vs stock Android 4.4.2). And it's just wonderful that there are people who invest their time into keeping an old phone up to date, and it's only logical that they cannot dedicate their time to individual bugs or needs. Besides, not all bugs need scientific proof because sometimes it's so obvious something is not as it should. With regard to my issue to which you responded: if copying files takes almost twice as long and if the stock photo gallery takes forever to save a picture where with CM 13 this all went down in a jiffy, you can just tell.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Shmaic:
wipe everything -> clean flash -> animations to 0.5 -> adaway -> install ~ 50 apps

i admit - after one week usage everything is better now. i guess my 64 gigs card was "mediaservered":)

but still it cannot match official CM13 speed with the same config and even like 130 apps installed with xposed cancered throughout the whole system:)

it is just screen touch latency that makes me cry now, but this was not present on CM13.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MJay99:
Really no need to get offended by afterglow's question, which was a rather valid one, imho and also really no need to be defensive about something you witness.

There have been reports here about things that turn out to be valid issues in the end, as there are some that turn out to just be hardware issues.

As for the hardware issue part, I've seen SD-cards produce all sorts of issues, up to totally hung phones... so, just for ruling this out, did you see this slow-down with another (ideally higher-class) SD-card, too?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :
Apologies if I seemed offended by [MENTION=819958]afterglow[/MENTION]'s question, because that wasn't the case at all. I wasn't trying to be defensive either, I was expressing my support to [MENTION=1798117]Shmaic[/MENTION] who posted about the same issue a bit earlier and didn't get much help (and if I'm not mistaken, lagging has been reported before) while at the same time I was trying to avoid to come across as someone who just nags. :o Spoken word remains king I guess. :)

I have two sd-cards, a Samsung one and a SanDisk, both high-end and both have the slow-downs. But as I wrote before, reading from/writing to the internal memory is the culprit. Clean install doesn't help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] slann83:
I just checked it on my I9195 with 14.1-20170609-NIGHTLY-serranoltexx and I can confirm no fix with glonass. I used AndroiTS GPS Test.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Childe89:
As I was reading last posts, I recalled that gallery loading was much quicker on CM13... I use QuickPic, and every time I open it, It takes few seconds to load all the folders, and Camera folder always appears last, have to wait for it... on CM13 folders showed all at once, as I opened the app, if i remember correctly :) So there really might be some slowdown. Or some Issue that cache is not built correctly and it is discovering the files every time, instead of "reading" them from cache, or something like that.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] k44mos:
is it possible to show system folder ecc with this file manager like the file manager on cm13?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Mek7:
If you have root, you can use Root Explorer or similar. I don't see any built-in file manager of any kind on my phone, but I am not on the latest build yet. Root Explorer works fine for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] RedSkull23:
For my experience while using LineageOS 14 after a deep usage of CyanogenMod 13 on S4 Mini, keeping care on what you wrote and giving you even reason on some things you said like some lil' retards, i invite you to mind even at the hardware side of this phone. We are talking of a phone dated year 2013 with 1,5 GB ram and a Snapdragon 400 processor; i'm saying you this not because i think that you dunno 'bout, but because with always newer versions of Android that becomes released, that due many improvements and for keeping up to date are supposed to work on newest hardware of course, this device's hardware surely could

NEVER

be performing as these days device's technics. I too didn't had problems on opening big pictures, videos or playing music a lot of time, task-switching experience, internet browsing, and for example for me it was the inverse about reading memory: the internal memory was going so smooth, the retards i've noticed more to me was most visible on reading external microSD. Research, copying files on my SD card always took more time that doing it on internal sdcard. But just think at the fact that this rom, cooked in an excellent manner in my opinion, is really capable to let your phone running an Android version that even now i still didn't seen on my Honor 6X (7.1.2 vs 7.0), a device that came out on Q4 2016 and that should be able to obtain last updated version of android i suppose. Improvements are great, i recognize that CM13 was incredible too because i went from stock 4.4.2 to CM13 latest snapsphot dated october 2016 if i don't remember bad, and the difference immediately has been under my eyes, but since that some problems could be related even on older hardware components, i'm sure about the fact that to me, giving a whole look between LineageOS 14 and CyanogenMod 13, Lineage remains over CM.

Nothing that could damage your phone capabilities and performances i can say (except for animations, where i don't have knowledge). Let's say that this rom needs a bit of break-in on first days of usage :p it's a thing that i've noticed too when i went to Los14 over CM13, but maybe because i was running many less apps than you. I've always preferred to remain under the limit of 60 apps (keeping on count even system apps) because i stay well on that number, and keeping APKs ready for installs on necessity, but except this my experience with Lineage was always good :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] piojan:
Had the similar thoughts few months ago. I have somewhere found an opinion that glonass in only used when there are not enough GPS satellites signals available (possible in cities). However it wasn't mentioned if this is a limitation of the drivers, CM/linneage or something else. If it really increases the accuracy it would be nice to use all available satellites. Maybe someone has seen some cons of that (like energy wise).

Thanks man, just what I was looking for :D

Now if someone can help with wifi, that would be great
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
The wifi didn't switch on automatically when alarm went off (I assume) as I was already running that profile and had turned off wifi manually, so the manual setting was not over ridden. It seems to work the same way when you have Aeroplane Mode activated, it will not override and turn radio transmitters on. Which would make sense!

(all works as expected)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :
Yes, it just could be down to the ageing hardware. And as I said earlier, and we agree on that: I prefer Lineage 14 with a few hiccups over stock Android 4.4.2 and CM 13 for that matter. And it's just great that there are people who invest their scarce free time to keep an old phone up to date. :good:

There were some flashable zip files, I don't think Pixel can be installed from play store, maybe I am wrong. Do a search on XDA, you'll find it. I never used it so don't have a link. I tried it but always built it with the ROM

Can someone please tell me what is happening to my phone. When I want to use it I normally just press the home key and the lockscreen appears, I swipe to unlock and away we go. However, sometimes I press the home key and the lockscreen background in only on the top 25mm of the screen with the time. The rest of the screen is black and I cannot do anything. My only option is to turn the phone OFF then ON to regain access to it.

What's going on?

TIA

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
Sounds a bit like what I had on one of the early unofficial releases, though I didn't have the lock screen active at that time, it happened on the home screen, so might be completely unrelated. It seemed to fix itself after I flashed a later build. However I suspected it was due to not having set a default launcher, have you? But I never did confirm if it was setting a default launcher that fixed it or not.

I've been experimenting a little, and it may well be that the occasional lags/slowdowns are down to the standard kernel. I installed the latest Remix kernel, changed the I/O scheduler to fiops and read-ahead speed to 4096 kB on both the internal and external memory, and so far no lags of slowdowns. Can someone test and confirm?

You mean "Enabling Roaming in home-country should NOT disable the data-connection." Don't you?

I just enabled roaming while in home country and LTE data stays on. But I have not just crossed a boarder after using roaming in another country, which might affect it, and have never had it on overseas in the past as I normally use a local SIM.

On my device enabling Roaming at home kills the data-connection.

4.X.X -> 7.X.X -> Magisk ?

Hi everyone !

I recently (re)found my old S4 Mini (9195), and thought it was a good opportunity to try a bit of flash/root experimentation.

I've always wanted to do so, but never had the balls to actually go through and risk my data. This phone being "useless", it's a great test for me :D

Anyways, I first tried to install Magisk Manager , but I had an error because it only works on 5.0+ (currently on the official 4.X.X).

So I would like to know if it would work after an install of an OS such a this one ?

I found another thread about Lollipop but it was not updated since 2015, which seems like a long time ago.

Thanks !

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Snofru1:
For those whose GPS system experiences no GLONASS fix with 14.1:

This is not considered a bug by the Lineage team. You can read here:

"GLONASS was disabled on many devices in 14.1 because of significant GPS changes that broke GLONASS support. Not a bug."

There is no indication that this will change soon.

This makes me quite reluctant to switch from 13.0 to 14.1 as I rely a lot on GPS on my S4 Mini. Could those that use a route guidance system on their phone (I use CoPilot) describe their (good or bad) experience with Lineage 14.1?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:
I am using GPS daily and didn't even notice GLONAS was gone, only read about it here. Sometimes it takes couple of minutes to get a fix and when my phone is between the two front seats it happens that I lose signal for a few seconds but it is nothing special it was the same for me since cm-11. I am mainly on Waze and occasionally iGO, used them both in Europe and North America
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
A couple of minutes to get a fix is not good, maybe you can switch off wifi scanning in location settings, it makes a difference! (interfering signals)

With 14.1 i had a fix in 10-20 seconds, now back with 13.1 it is fixing 3-5 seconds, (also with aeroplane mode on) even indoor on the loft without a window.
