[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] micchese:
I'm using the latest Alpha_lin version of this ROM on my S4Mini. I only have one problem with this LineageOS 14.1 version (every version since 2020, not only the latest): everytime I connect Windows 10 to S4 mini hotspot, it keeps creating a new Network Profile (increasing the sequence number), always switching the category to PUBLIC instead of previously saved PRIVATE (WPA pass is saved, but it keeps seeing this device as a new one). I checked S4 MAC address and is always the same. This behavior doesn't happen with other ROMS (i.e I have a S4 with LOS 16.0 and S4 with LOS 17.1). Is there any setting I may look at in order to avoid this hassle everytime I connect to S4 mini hotspot?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] micchese:
Using WiFi Info View I noticed that WiFi MAC Address keeps changing latest 3 bytes. So the problem is due to the fact that Android Hotspot is being presented as a different network each time, which causes the new Network Profile to be added in Windows.

I couldn't find an option to disable Mac address randomization on Hotspot service activation. Any help is welcome.

Thanx a lot !!

....one question: Which TWRP-version do you suggest, the latest official or the one released when 14.1 was official !? I've strange very long boot-times (~4-5 minutes after switching-on in the morning....) and lately got the phone heating-up extremely when using telephonie....Could both be related to a not-so-well-matching version of TWRP ? I achtually use 3.3.1 (instead of 3.50.9, suggested by arco68 for LOS 18.1, or 3.52.x which is latest-official...).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Alpha_lin:
I don't think that it's related to the TWRP version because LOS only uses it when it upgrades. Anyway, I think you can use the latest version without any problem.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] tM&M:
Hey Alpha_lin,

Just a note that while LOS 14.1 is still being updated w/ fixes, it is not tracked for security issues anymore.

As of November, Google is only tracking and updating Android 9 and up.

From the changelogs, it doesn't seem LineageOS is doing that kind of work also.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Alpha_lin:
Hi tM&M,

Yes, I noticed that since August there is no commit named "Bump security String", but I didn't think it was because they hadn't added a security patch. If so, it's annoying for those using LOS 14.1 here.

However when I compare with LOS 16.0 I see that their commits are quite similar.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] tM&M:
"Bump security string" is just the string, it does not patch any issues that may exist for which there were no backports to those older Android versions.

I can see that LOS 16.0 seems to have received patches for Nov 2021 and that Google has the December bulletin still covering Android 9 also. So I guess it should be patched from AOSP fixes soon.

Hello.

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] I_P_V_S:
Hi, which version is actually the latest and good one for the model GT-I9195?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] zorzibaffo:
I think lineage 14.1 is end of life but it does not matter because it works fine. You can grab @Alpha_lin last release via links in post 2,737. For GT-9195, you need "serranoltexx" version.

If you search other topics, you will find more recent unofficial releases like 17.1 or 18.1.

Since it's incredibly stable, I prefer staying with lineageos 14.1 for this device.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] I_P_V_S:
Hi, the install guide on page 1, it means download and install directly to the device without using a computer?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
The guide supposes you have a customer recovery installed. That's where you need a computer.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] I_P_V_S:
Hi, does the installation go with this latest twrp-3.7.0_9-0-serranoltexx.img.tar (2022-10-16)? I selected "wipe data/factory reset" and it deleted the two zips :)

Edit: I haven't unlocked the bootloader. So do I have to reinstall TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
I don't understand. You selected the wipes in odin? The trick is to not boot system after flashing twrp.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] I_P_V_S:
Oh, I didn't reboot the system. It's only selected in the image as the first option in the menu.

I proceeded normally. Driver installed. With Odin custom recovery TWRP. The two zips (ROM, GApps) copied to the internal storage. Boot into the custom recovery. Then wipe cache partition. Wipe data/factory reset. It immediately deleted the two zips.

Strange, this menu from the last TWRP apparently has no Install.

S4 mini doesn't need unlock, I saw now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Oh. You are in twrp. You moved files to the internal storage and deleted them immediately. Can you boot twrp and do it the other way around? Move files, install files, factory reset.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] I_P_V_S:
Hm, not sure what you mean... I'll try it again.

(It has been reset to factory settings. I did it previously too.)

1. I copy the two zips again from the computer to the internal storage (I previously checked the checksum for both zips). 2. boot twrp. 3. wipe cache partition. 4. Then I go to 'wipe data/factory reset,' and it shows this:

If we select 'Yes,' it will probably delete the two zips again. Should we?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
This is not twrp. This is stock recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] I_P_V_S:
I got the TWRP from here, the latest one: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/serranoltexx/

I'm trying it with an earlier version. Can you recommend one?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
I recommend to install whatever twrp you want. Remove battery and power on with home and vol+ buttons pressed. The other button tricks seem to complicated for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] I_P_V_S:
Well, I've already removed the battery, and I keep pressing 'Volume Up' + 'Home' + 'Power' simultaneously. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Is the trick perhaps to pull the battery immediately after installing TWRP?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
That's the trick. Everything else will restore stock recovery.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Seems to be device dependent. Step 9 works for me with power only followed by home and vol+ ; battery removal is an option on S4 mini.

Tutorial how to install LineageOS 14.1 on galaxy s4 mini:

The most difficult part is indeed booting TWRP. At that point after pressing 'Power', when the device goes off and vibrates, it's best to remove the battery quickly. The variant with quickly pressing three buttons after 'Power' is quite tricky.

The installation also goes with copying the zips into the internal storage.

Mulch from divestOS
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] n00bdro1d:
Did you mean Mull? because Mulch says android 8 minimum and 14.1 is 7 :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] tM&M:
For this phone, there really is none. It doesn't have the CPU or RAM for modern web and it also overheats. Firefox will be faster than any old version but the web itself is requiring faster hardware, so there is no alternative.

Chrome or Edge will leak memory, from my experience, but may be faster if you don't keep tabs open. On other devices I have, FF was slower before but is now on par for most sites. Some render/scroll really slow vs Chrome/Edge, for some reason.

Great phone but even the YouTube app is very slow nowadays.

Camera is not working in aTalk and Conversations in videocalls. s3 mini has Lineage 14.1 (7.1.2) with working camera (i8190 API Guava (7) 3.0.31-novafusion build 15.12.2017 SELinux disabled). Is it because of SELinux enforced and permissive? I have tried some other s4 mini ROMs from 4.X to 11.x Android and other versions of Conversations with same result - CAMERA not working in Conversations and aTalk. In OpenCamera and BarCodeScanners working well photo and video. Any ideas how to fix it?

Found an S4 mini a couple of weeks ago and bought it not knowing google services support was no longer working and most apps moved support to higher versions. I came online, did my research and then found this forum post. I followed the steps, soft bricked the device once but finally managed to root, install twrp and flash this ROM. Of works perfectly I have no issues so far. Just a request. I can't seem to figure out how to install custom fonts to update my system emoji fonts.

Last 20/11 build i have some problems to root the device.

After each upgrade the root is lost, and when i try to re-root the cyanogenmod firmware keep on the logo. (even if i do a clean of wipe data, dalvik and cache and factory reset).

I notice now selinux status shows "mandatory" instead of usual permissive.

*strange as usually selinux is permissive in CM14

Any ideas to solve this? which re-root method are you using?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kolak1234:
I always have root, after each and every build with clean install . I only activate developer options, then find the root access and set it for apps and ADB. It's working for me:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] droopyar:
Thats, yes with this i could use some rooted features. But strange supersu could not install.

I could use rootexplorer to access files, but supersu have problems to install.

But why do you need superSU, if CM has root manager built in? Just wondering.

On another note, any of you guys having battery issues on the latest 2-3 builds?
