We actually use arco's serrano-common repo directly from lineageOS so anything he merges in we will pick up.

His fix for those restoring nandroid backups on encrypted phones will be included on the weekly builds.

However, the mixer settings will be updated to include the tweaks that like AOKP uses (slightly increases handset and speaker volumes).

* This was requested by [MENTION=8108805]gay-sha[/MENTION] and also from Duo's users of OCT-M.

The issue with the battery performance level setting will also be fixed.

* This was reported by [MENTION=5989262]umuturunc[/MENTION] and a few others.

I have been testing theses changes for the past few days and they look good.

Great news!!!!!! I'll wait next update anxiously, for me this is the best rom for our device. Thanks for your job.

Hello guys! I'm using AOKP official 7.1.1 serranoltexx, but there're some annoying issues. The fuse hour doesn't work good in automatic mode; service call notify me even if I disable it, snapchat doesn't work (I know snapchat are having trouble with lineage based roms, but in my device it just does not open). I'd like to know if OCTOS-N is working good and if it has these problems. Thanks for the answer and sorry my english.

Hi,

The latest build work fine for me!!

Thx all Dev's. :p

3/31 weeklies are building today. Looks like ltexx and lteusc are already done.

This week includes an option to turn on the older style notifcations (ticker) vs. the newer style notifications (heads up).

Thanks [MENTION=5260322]cjkacz[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4272424]hedwig34[/MENTION] .

If you want to try it out, you need to turn off "heads up" under settings-notifications-gear/icon and then turn on "ticker" under settings-tentacles-statusbar-notifications.

Some prefer the old style so it is not as bothersome while your using your device.

[MENTION=6614989]jason972000[/MENTION] last update running smoothly for me, gallery now has a nice design better :) thanks for your work
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
With 7.1.2 dropping and the switch to that version to begin, we have decided to forgo tomorrow's weekly builds and work toward the release of a "stable" 7.1.1 build.

This should take place next week.

Our focus will then shift to 7.1.2 . ﻿
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gay-sha:
For me it has been stable since the first launch LOl ........... :bueno: : Highfive:

Thank you for your incredible work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] slumbi:
Hi ! Rom is indeed very smooth on my i9195, thanks for your work.

I"ve only faced two small bugs so far: "kill app back button" in developer settings does not seem to work. And HD videos made by the Camera app have a strange aspect ratio. SD is fine. ( latest weekly)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Those most likely are issues on LineageOS too. Been awhile since I've test theirs so I cannot confirm. I know arco68 had lots of issues getting camera to work right for us on N.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Milestone Release (M1) Posted for OCT-N

The downloads for the release builds of 7.1.1 OCT-N are now available.

This marks a final stable build of 7.1.1 before we start working on 7.1.2.

Include all options from System UI Tuner?

Hello!

I am using Android 5.1 (CM 12.1) and thought it might be a good idea updating to Android7. The OctOS looked like a fine ROM, but unfortunately there is something from the standard Android missing: the System UI Tuner.

Is there a chance the tuner will be activated / included in OctOS? As I can see, some options from the tuner were included in the Tenctacle settings, but not the ones I need.

Longer explanation: In Android 5/5.1 you can set your "do not disturb" settings directly from the volume menu. Just press volume up/down, and there it is. In Android 6 this menu was moved away so it was not a shortcut anymore (which is also the reason I did not update yet). For Android7 I discovered that Google enabled the shortcut menu back using the System UI Tuner. But as OctOS seems to have it disabled and only carried some settings over, this is some drawback for me.

Here some links about what I mean:

Comparison Android 5 and 6 (see https:// cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/expanded.jpg)

Settings for Do not disturb back in Android 7 with System UI Tuner (see https:// cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Android-N_3-1440x848.jpg)

(I would post working links, but the forum does not let me do this yet. Please copy/paste the link and remove the space after ://)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
I haven't seen any custom roms for the at&t s4 mini. We do not have one for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Just swipe down to show the quick tiles. There is a tile for "do not disturb / priority". I think most users would agree that the quick tiles is a good place for these settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] whitecrumble:
I cannot say that for me. The place in the volume settings is still quicker to reach: holding the device in your hand, the fingers are already placed on the volume buttons. I just need to press the key. Then the DND options are visible. This is very comfortably by just using your thumb of one hand only.

On the other hand, using the quick tiles menu, I need at least two actions: swipe down and then touch the DND symbol. Each of the actions needs more time and hand movement then just pressing the hardware button. (Strictly speaking, I would also need to move my thumb away after touching the symbol, because it masks the DND options I need to see.)

But of course: taste is different, as is look and feel and UI. That’s why I’m asking to include the System UI Tuner options, as this gives people like me the choice.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] RItechie:
Thanks for the reply. I'll keep searching but so far I've found no custom roms either.

At the least I have it rooted! :)

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Looks like it is there on the volume.

Edit: I see what you are saying, it is not as nice as earlier versions. I can only turn it off quickly from the volume (ui). I'll have to see if that is a Lineage based setting or if only OctOS is disabling that functionality.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] whitecrumble:
Yes, if it is activated, the deactivate option is displayed in the volume menu. But If it is not activated, you need to go the slower way. I don’t know why Google changed this, but they learned and gave an option to restore the old 5/5.1 behaviour where you can both activate and deactivate it from volume menu.

For the custom ROMs I have just found out that CM/Lineage 14.1 disabled the System UI tuner and integrated its options. Obviously not all of them. Great. :rolleyes:

I just tested the unofficial Lineage ROM from arco68 and I cannot find this option there either, nor does the UI tuner work. It’s a pity.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
So long as you have an unlocked boot-loader, I don't see why you couldn't build for it. Heck, even if you do have a locked boot-loader you can still build for it, you just can't flash it. (As is the case with the Verizon SCH-i435)

For some basic useful to know info:

According to Samsung, your device model is the SGH-i257, which then according to Something Awful of all places gives the code name of serranovolte.

Looking into the kernel, the kernel configs exist for the AT&T version, which are here.

So, if you really wanted, and your boot loader is unlocked and you have custom recovery on it, you should be able to build for it. That being said, I've tried a few times to build for the SCH-i435L for a little while and so far have only succeeded in building a kernel, and that thanks a lot to the help of [MENTION=6614989]jason972000[/MENTION]. I'm lucky in that his USC ROM works fine on my phone with a little build prop editing. So it's not as big a deal that I am having trouble building a full ROM, but if you wanted to try, maybe you'd not make whatever mistake I'm making. Who knows? Hopefully this information is helpful to you, and I wish you the best of luck getting something on your phone!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] RItechie:
Unfortunately AT&T does come with a locked bootloader and from reading I see that is the big hurdle with any of their phones. Now I'm not afraid of a challenge and will try and see how far I can get with the information you've shared. Much appreciated!

Thanks :o
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Weeklies for 4/28 are out for the first builds on 7.1.2. Enjoy.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
As always, thanks for keeping the S4 Mini relevant, especially for the SCH's which seem to have no ROMs otherwise! I am noticing with the latest release some pretty major instabilities though. My phone has been rebooting a lot, even running out of battery at work on me. As well, it's seemed slower than it previously was to wake up, and I even missed a fairly important text message, though that could potentially be on Verizon's end.

Another issue I'm having is that my phone is unable to connect to the cameras. However, I did just basically rebuild my phone, so I think I probably damaged a ribbon cable inside. (oops) Although if anyone else is having that issue then it would be worth noting.

An issue that I've had for a few builds now is that both my background for Nova and for my lock screen keeps resetting randomly to the OctOS default and that my Google Fit widget resets itself to needing to be set up with a goal.

Hopefully this is helpful information. As you know I'm very thankful for you and your team's work and for the help you've given me personally. I understand this is the first 7.12 build so I expect bugs, so obviously don't take this as complaints, just information so that hopefully this ROM can be even more awesome! :D If you have any further questions or need any logs, just let me know!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
I have not seen issues like that on my SCH-R890 other than battery going quickly but that has always been a problem when using GPS.

I did find that open gapps still works better for me. I tried beans gapps on 7.1.2 and had force closing with camera. No idea how gapps can affect my rom camera app but it wouldn't work until I switched to open gapps. I also had one instance of a call not hanging up but ok since then.

Clean flash is always a good idea too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] umuturunc:
Were you getting "No location access"popup when you try to turn off GPS when using beansgapps? I'm using open gapps pico and when I try to turn off location, this disturbing popup appears. It's very annoying for me. I'm having this issue(it's issue for me) for about 1 month. This issue wasn't exist in older versions of open gapps. But I don't have old versions, unfortunately.

I tried few things

1-fashing gapps after completing setup wizard.

2-flashing rom and gapps together. Completing setup wizard both with and without internet connection.

3-flashing rom and gapps together. Completing setup wizard with unticking all selections (google location, wifi and app data backup, anonymous statistics etc.)

But non of them solved this issue.

I don't want to see popup. I want to turn off location by just pressing on quick setting. Don't want to bother with extra question.

Do you know how to remove this popup?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
I'll try a totally clean install clearing data when I get home. I had tried to avoid it due to my work's two factor authentication, but that got cleared anyway, so I don't have that working anymore either anyway. I do use open gapps already. I'll keep you updated. I did clear system before flashing, along with cache & ART just not data.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
I usually don't wipe internal data either. I just use advanced wipe from TWRP and wipe system with both caches. Then install rom with gapps at the same time.

You can send me a logcat just in case something stands out. Send to jason972000@gmail.com
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Looks like 3 of the 4 serrano weekly builds are done for today already.

These include the May security patches.

Update: all devices are done and posted in the downloads section of teamoctos.com.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
FYI, I had cleared data and reflashed, and the only issue I'm still having is my backgrounds resetting. Everything else seems fine. I meant to let you know earlier. So it seems not to be an issue with the ROM which is good. I have no idea what the issue was, probably something in data. My cameras still don't work, but again, I assume that's hardware. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
[MENTION=6492187]AgentOrange96[/MENTION] - By "backgrounds" do you mean the home screen and lock screen wallpapers?

I guess I'd want to see the logs and then maybe try compiling the remix kernel with the proper kernel config for your device (since we don't provide a build for yours).

If we can get those few issues resolved, we could most likely get a build for your device specific needs setup.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
I do mean that. I'll try and get the logs next time it happens.

I did compile remix for serranolra, although right now I think I'm using my older compilation for serranovzw since I had tried disabling the camera I thought didn't work in the lra kernel to force apps to use the camera I thought was good. It didn't work so when I reflashed I just used my older vzw kernel. I have a whole new Verizon S4 Mini arriving in the mail today though, so as long as my board isn't the issue, I should be able to fix my hardware at least. (Not that most of this is relevant)

Also when I woke up I see that the Fit app did finally reset itself. -_-

Thanks again!

Best rom 7.1 for s4 mini!!all the others contains a bug that does not import the contacts on sim cards for the phone and this octos is ok, Congratulations!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Along with new weekly builds (5/19) there is also an updated official twrp 3.1.1 on http://twrp.me now but only for the US Cellular S4 Mini (serranolteusc).

This official twrp version finally has support for encrypted devices on that model.

However in testing I had done with it, your device will be somewhat slow when it is encrypted.

The process of encrypting the phone seemed to work better if you did it after a clean flash before too many other apps are installed.

** Make sure you backup your internal storage (/data/media/0) before trying encrypting the device, especially if you want to go back to non-encryption (you need to wipe AND format internal sd to undo it).

** I believe the other variants of this phone still get their recoveries from Ne0Zone75's builds.

Please include a Dedicated number row in keyboad +option to change between launchers !!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] manfromgta:
Thanks for your feedback.

1. The keyboard included in rom is stock. I would suggest trying Gboard available from playstore. It has the option you are looking for.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin&hl=en

2. The option to change between launchers is found in Settings --> Apps --> (tap gear cog upper right) --> Home app.

My Phone:

S4 Mini Duos i9192

TWRP:

openrecovery-twrp-3.0.2-1-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed

I have flashed a lot of MM Custom Roms but never faced any problems.

But today i tried Flashing OCT N ROM(along with the md5) with the repective OGApps , after a successful flash, on its first Boot a message 'the Set Up Wizard App Crashed' came up and then went into OCT OS Boot screen again, and it kept repeating in a loop.

So please can someone guide me clearly on the Proper steps to Successfully Run this ROM on my Device :) ?

> The ROM to be selected for my device

> the Pico GApps to be selected

> When should i clear Dalvik-cache,cache,system,data.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] alnaloty:
Try clan flash , start with rom flash first then gapps ( i preferred new one & try mini gapps )
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] flashnub:
I successfully Flashed the ROM, looks like I had flashed a very old version of GApps the last time.

The ROM seems smooth, stable and fast :good: .

Will be keeping a watch on the battery life.

On the whole the ROM is very good and just needs a few more features as finishing touches,

One of the feature i would suggest is adding Custom Middle Lockscreen Shortcuts(I usually put some Contacts as Direct Dial with Double Tap on Lock Screen which works as Emergency Call),

changing font size of Clock and Date on Lockscreen.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] szybkarenia:
Hi.

This is the best rom I have been tested.

Up to 4 days on one charge. I9192. Both cards on 2G, sometimes W-FI. Mostly phone Calls, Music (about 2-4 hours per day), no data transfer.

One minor bug. After i unplug the headphones music is still play via phone speaker, when someone calls during listen music. This issue does not appear, when no one calls in the time when i listen music. I use Pulsar, but the bug also occurs on default music player. This bug exist on AOKP, and on clean Lineageos.

Best Regards,

Piotr
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Thormme:
Thanks so much for this rom! I'm currently running the OCT-N weekly build for the serranolteusc.

So far almost everything has been working great, but I have one fairly large issue. Callers hear an echo when on a regular call. They do not hear an echo when I am using speakerphone. I saw that [MENTION=6614989]jason972000[/MENTION] had found this bug before:

I was wondering if a fix was ever found. If not I was hoping I could apply the aforementioned fix and forego changing the volume.

Hopefully it's not relevant, but I'm running it on a Verizon SCH-I435 with an unlocked SCH-I435L motherboard, as discussed here.

Hi,

The last Weekly 05/26 (GT-I9195) works wonderfully good!!

No lag, for me no bug, fast, smooth..

Thanks Team OctOS !!!

I love your OS!!

Congratulations..:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
No fix that I could find. I just don't understand how the audio calibration works.

I think using the libaudcal.so from the other serrano builds is what was a workaround but it has been a long time since I tried again. I just lower in-call volume to deal with the echo.

Thanks for mentioning your experience with it. Only one other user mentioned it and he said their was no echo so I thought maybe it was just mine.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Can anyone confirm if they can get MagiskHide to work properly (passes SafteyNet check) on their S4 Mini with Oct-N or any other custom rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] meany:
I just got this setup, using it on Verizon network with no problems reported by my call receiver.

Also, I can confirm that by replacing the sch-890 or sch-i435 board with the sch-i435L (generic bootloader unlocked CDMA) board allows flawless network connection on Verizon (full LTE) and all other networks (using the correct build.prop entries for your carrier) It's pretty easy to do.

A dream come true! I like the size of the phone, loved the ROM, but lived with 3g speed. But with the motherboard replacement, I have the whole deal.

A seller on eBay has them for $16...I bought 6, there's 4 left as of now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281916743693

This ROM (US Cellular version) and US Cellular version of TWRP work perfectly.

Thanks again Team OCTOS!

It passes on AICP(not sure about others haven't tried it on them) if it says CTS mismatch disable USB debugging and try again
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Disabling USB debugging doesn't seem to help cure the "CTS mismatch" either. I did find that XOSP rom also works correctly with MagiskHide. I just haven't figured out what is different about oct-n yet.. I don't think it could be the kernel because the same source code is used between the roms I tested.

Update: I have identified that a few ro.build.... properties will need to be set to the devices original stock settings to get SafetyNet checks to pass. I was able to get it to pass by tweaking some of them on serranolteusc.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Issues hiding root with Magisk should be resolved with 6/2/17 weekly.

They are available now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
I too use this configuration, and I was getting tired of updating my build prop with every update. I found that somebody developed a zip to automatically modify your build prop called Tweak Prop.

For those of us on Verizon, the attached zip along with the tweak.prop file (Remove the .txt, it's there so that XDA will upload it) in the same directory will let you easily set up your phone on Verizon after any updates you take. Simply flash the zip after flashing the latest ROM every time you update and you'll be good to go! I hope this is as helpful to everyone else as it has been for me!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] imarsh72:
Was initially unaware there were 2 different versions based on aosp & los, so when I d'loaded for my device I got aosp version (which runs flawlessly) but when the os checked for new builds it suggested what appears to be the los build, so my query is can I dirty flash this over my aosp version or do I need to do a full wipe? Also is there any advantage in running the los build over aosp
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
We never had an AOSP version for the S4 Mini.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] imarsh72:
I see now in the list of changes aosp base was discontinued on 10/02 ,but my default wall paper still has aosp written on it. s4 mini must have been added to supported devices list after change to los, sorry, my bad :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
I still cannot figure out why some users seem to not have the echo issue for callers on the other end.

I have tried changing mixer_paths, acdb_id's used (closer to what my stock was using) and nothing helps with the echo. :(

I wonder if it has something to do with the cellular providers?

I know that whenever I would go back to running stock, the echo is gone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] imarsh72:
Had first missed alarm today, didn't trigger until I unlocked the phone, however, it was in power save mode which I don't usually use. Still running on 2017-06-16 version. A few People have been experiencing it on Los but thought team Octos had it sorted.
