[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mzoller:
I was wondering if it is possible to replace/resolder/fix the buttons (ie green phone button - not the keyboard)?

Has anybody had to fix theirs yet? I don't think it is worth the money to have it fixed in a service center. I could almost buy a new one for the same $$$. Maybe a bricked hermes for replacement parts?

The buttons can still be pressed but you have to hit them pretty hard to get them to register...

Comments/advice welcome!

thanks!

Mike

Ps: just read the service manual. Looks easy enough.... Am I missing something?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pulpfxn:
Mike,

Have you completed the repair yet? How did it go? All my front panel buttons (green,red, ok, Windows, soft keys, d-pad, video call, mail and IE) on my Dopod 838 Pro have stopped working, and I think I may have to open it up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mzoller:
Went just fine. I followed the service manual - spent time checking and rechecking everything before I touched it. Don't use a leatherman to open the case - an old creditcard is way better and doesn't scratch the housing. Changed the housing while I was at it. I really like the black Orange-look!

on hindsight:

I was a bit surprised to see the amount of $$$ bricked phones go for at ebay though... Money-wise the gap between getting a new phone and selling the old one for parts and fixing it is not as big as I would have liked it to be.

good luck with your project!

Michael

Testers needed

We would like to get each S4 Mini up again for OCT-N.

Thanks to those who already tested, we now have weeklies starting the week of 3/10/17.

Downloads for all four supported variants are at: https://www.teamoctos.com/oct-n-weekly-lineageos-base/

For those using the US Cellular variant, here is an updated TWRP Recovery.

twrp serranolteusc --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634751007

** This is also officially supported on twrp.me but only for the serranolteusc. I am currently testing their 3.1.0-0.

All other variants of TWRP can be found on Ne0Zone's thread.

twrp other variants --> https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678420

If you post on this thread, please mention which variant/device you have.

Thanks

We need some permission to download the file :) serranosdd
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
They should work now, I had to change them from "restricted" to "public" folders.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] csendre:
Great to see OctOS back up, the unified thread is a good idea, 99% of the issues are common
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rookie12:
Flashed will test this whole week thanks for your work serranosdd
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] noppy22:
Thank you [MENTION=6614989]jason972000[/MENTION]

I've flashed OCT-N-M0-7.1.1-20170304-serranoltexx.zip with open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170305.zip and so far no problems at all(a few hours). It seems like a really mature rom, plenty of customizations and no reboots/fc's. I'm impressed.

For anyone wanting a stable nougat rom with pixel launcher, I would recommend it. I'll test it for a few more days for battery life and other things.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Anwar105:
I have flashed rom serranodsdd Around 6 hours Ago and its look very mature and stable.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kevinarol:
I try 20170304-serrano3gxx zip with opengapps 20170205 and everything ok, no fc, reboots, etc, everything works well (ril, camera, speaker, etc), but the rom does not have a browser, have two file explorer, and does not like pixel launcher, but for me the rom is already stable :good::good:

I return to aokp
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AMOLK:
Thank you Jason. Great work and great ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Will download and test serranoltexx in a few hours
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Harvey_Spectar:
awesome rom bro

its good that we octos back with nougat.

will test and give you a nice feedback

thanks again
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Anewkine:
Awesome !!! :victory:

Thx Team OctOS!! :good:

I love this ROM!!

Yeah!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gay-sha:
During these 3 days I have been my daily driver and the rom is stable enough ..... Very nice in my opinion. All the features have worked without any problem for me. Thank you for your good work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rookie12:
One week of testing done.

ROM very stable great ROM for a daily driver like everyone said. I put this ROM after AOKP

This baby is ready to go official

Thank you for your work
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] noppy22:
I agree with the last two users. Very stable and feature-full. I've used it for almost a week and no issues at all. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] s.goten:
I'm very curious to try this rom. How about battery consumption? [emoji4]

Inviato dal mio GT-I9195 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] noppy22:
At least as good as AOKP and AICP(7.1.1). IMO nougat is better on battery than android 5 or 6

I noticed on the Oct OS site that we have gone official. Although not on the download list yet.......

Thanks again [MENTION=6614989]jason972000[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Weeklies are building now and they will include all four serrano devices. Thanks for testing everyone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
I'm running the USC version on an SCH-i435L, and although I had to change my build prop to make it default to Verizon, which is what I use, it works perfectly. (Also no radio built in) I'm not sure what the codename for this particular one is, however, if it's one of the listed ones, I'd be happy to verify it works for you. If it's not one of the listed ones, I can again confirm the USC version works.

One bug I have noticed is that although it was supposedly fixed for the regular S4, the back lights for the back and menu buttons still don't seem to work (at least for me) on the S4 Mini.

Two things I'd love to see added to the kernel, which have been done before for older builds of Android on S4 Mini's, would be fast charge (as seen here) and OTG support. (As seen here)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Thormme:
I've been running something very similar. While in my case it did improve the echo somewhat, it also made the audio rather quiet and unable to be changed. It was especially quiet on speaker phone. I haven't tried your exact file though, so it's possible you found a better one.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
[MENTION=345148]meany[/MENTION] and [MENTION=8301005]Thormme[/MENTION] - I tried the libaudcal.so (SCH-i435L stock ROM) that meany posted and I cannot adjust the in-call volume. I also did a logcat and found that the libacdbloader.so cannot even load with it. Any acdb calls for voice appear to be failing to execute. So this didn't really work for me on my SCH-R890. This actually is a similar experience I observed using the ones provided in TheMuppets for serrano-common (I believe they came from the GT-I9195). However those do not fail to load/execute acdb calls.

I am still finding that the noise suppression seems to really help a lot with the echo (I'd say 99% of the time unless you have in-call volume cranked up). My original fix (https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/189629/) was not accepted - they wanted it to be setup as an audio amplifier hook like this (https://github.com/jlask/android_device_samsung_serranolteusc/tree/cm-14.1-amplifier) into the HAL. It is working well so far.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
That's good news about the in call echo! Thanks again for your work on the CDMA S4 Minis!

I noticed something a while ago and I don't know if it's a general OctOS issue, specific to this device or specific to my phone in particular. But when I hit the lock button, right before the screen turns off (or if I take a screenshot) the screen mirrors itself upside down. When the phone wakes, the screen is upside up again. It's quite quarky, but not really an issue. Has anyone else had this? Let's just be glad we don't have jelly scroll!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Wow, no, I haven't seen that before. Do you have any mods or apps installed causing it?

However, yesterday I was walking the dog and when I got under some buzzing power lines I got a call from wrong number and my screen started going haywire. Reboot still haywire until I got away from the power lines. Also never seen that before.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AgentOrange96:
That is weird. O_o

I remember putting blankets on my chair near my computer and they had static and my monitor ended up distorted, as if it were a CRT and I had stuck a magnet near it. Like it seemed to scrunch itself over to one part almost exactly like you'd expect with a CRT. But of course it's completely digital, not sure how that happens.

I have had instances a few times where my S4 Mini would get a screen completely full of noise and I forget if it freezes or not, but I'd have to reboot. It's very rare though. I don't think it's the ROM. I could maybe see kernel or possibly a driver, but I suspect it's at the hardware level somewhere. It's so rare though.

Also, I do have a corner right now that is slightly raised, and if I push it down, flexing, the screen brightness flickers. I've also had broken screens in the past with some weird display issues, as well as a defective one. (pictured) I've learned the screens/display on these are kinda sensitive.

[IMG="S4 Mini Defective Screen"]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SHcAAOSwXXxZPA2j/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG]

The upside down screen is definitely software somewhere, I'm just not sure where. It's survived updates as well as complete re-flashes of everything. But since it's stable and doesn't really have any side effects (Unless I wan't to screencap my lock screen) I'm not worried. I'm also using just the regular kernel you provide with OctOS right now since the battery has been fine anyway. I can't think of any apps I have that should cause this peculiarity. But hey, who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: I just noticed my screen doesn't flip when music is playing and it's showing the album and visualizer. Further adding to the mystery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DroidHero2002:
Does this work with the I9195I (s4 mini plus)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
No, these are for the arm variants only.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Anewkine:
Hi,

[MENTION=6614989]jason972000[/MENTION]

After several days of use, I can only say that this version is great.

The battery life is excellent, it's fast, smooth, everything works perfectly.

I do not have a problem with my headphones when I receive a call.

The sound does not come out in the phone speaker during the call.

It's still cooler and more personal .... ?

Thanks for your work all Dev's. ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Thormme:
I would also like to thank you for your work on this! I'm happy to report that I'm no longer getting an echo during calls!

Thanks so much!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tst1212:
Anyone know if there is any development on this ROM or any others for the serranolteusc?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
It should be part of Oct-O releases but we are waiting until 8.1 is ready. Currently it looks good on a base 8.0.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tst1212:
Will Oct-O have the ability to tweak the kernel (ie slow down the cpu/gpu) to squeeze out a little extra battery life. if not does anyone know if there is an app or other way to do it?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] szybkarenia:
Any updates due to security patches?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Harvey_Spectar:
This room is awesome and stable.

Hello from Germany!

My i9195 is currently on Cyanogenmod 13 20160820 stable with TWRP 3.0.2-1. I'm using my microSD card as internal storage.

Besides a nandroid backup ;), is there something I have to update (TWRP?) or change (microSD mounting?) before I can wipe and install OctOs?

Thanks for your advice

René
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
Weekly builds are out.

Changes for 3/10

- Update to android-7.1.1_r25 (March security patch)

- Add Galaxy S4 Mini variants (serrano3gxx, serranoltexx, serranodsdd)

- Support for rootless Substratum

- Removed pre installed Substratum

- Removed root by default (user will be able to flash which ever root zip they want )

- * Clean flash recommended!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
[MENTION=4285180]hanker_de[/MENTION] - That version will mostly work but there were some issues with nandroid restore not putting your settings back. You may want to grab Ne0Zone's 3.0.3 trwp build to be sure it has their fixes. Many devices recently now have 3.1.0 twrp from the official site but I'm not sure when [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION] will be updating his links for it.

See post#2 for the link to his Xda thread.

Hello!

I just tried to flash "addonsu-arm-signed.zip" from from the lineageos homepage. Checked md5 before, was fine.

But the installation aborted because TWRP had problems with the file sgnification.

Is this a common issue?

[EDIT] I also encountered an issue: Enabling "Show notification count" in the "Tentacles" -> "Status Bar" -> "Notification" tab doesn't seem to make any difference...[/EDIT]

Greetings and thanks from germany

René
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rookie12:
I have not got this try redownloading it

I think it shows the number of notifications that can't be shown in the statbar
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hanker_de:
Well *that* could be possible. :good: Thought it would show, how many let's say WhatsApp-messages are pending.

(Redownloading wouldn't change anything, did check md5 twice, TWRP did so, too. ;) )

Any idea concerning the lineageos-SU?

Thanks a lot!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rookie12:
Idk man never encountered this issue try chainfire su then or magisk

Lineage your working smoothly for me in this rom

None for me ..... This is the file that you install by twrp ....

I'm on a 9195, if it matters...

[EDIT]As [MENTION=5870407]icero[/MENTION] 's version had the same md5 as mine, I deactivated zip signification check in TWRP. Created a .md5 file, to be sure the phone got the correct file(s). Now it was possible to flash and I have root access (Tested with AdAway). Sorry for the inconvenience![/EDIT]

Hi,

I wanna try oct-os N on my serrano3gxx. Since my net speed is low, I just want to know if it has features which I need, before downloading rom file. Can you please let me know is this rom has wakelock blocker and trebutech launcher?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
[MENTION=5989262]umuturunc[/MENTION],

Wakelock Blocker isn't there yet. It actually just went up for review this morning so I'm not sure if it will make it into the next weekly builds or not.

We only have Pixel Launcher in the rom but you can install whatever launcher you want from the Play Store.

Why do you prefer Trebutech Launcher?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] umuturunc:
Thanks for your help by replying my questions.

Hope wakelock blocker will include next weekly.

I prefer Trebutech launcher because I get used to it. It's simple and useful(at least to me). Don't want to change to another one.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
FYI: The "wakelock blocker" will be included in the builds today.

I'm not sure if there is any recent builds available for the "Trebuchet Launcher" so I build out a fresh one from LineageOS cm-14.1 sources today.

Here is the APK: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298939332

It seems to be working fine on my OCT-N install.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gay-sha:
Can I blink dirty in today's construction?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] umuturunc:
Thank you very much!

And sorry for my misspelling. I was talking about "Trebuchet Launcher" of course. Looking forward to today's build for serrano3gxx.

Battery profile force close

When I try to open Settings -> Battery -> Battery saver and performance, it force closes. I can't switch battery profile from Balanced to Efficient. I'm using remix kernel v9. It might cause this problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
[MENTION=5989262]umuturunc[/MENTION] - thanks for reporting this bug. I can confirm it on mine too (on Lineage kernel). A few others can too but it appears to be device dependent. Some devices don't even show that "Balanced" mode to be changed. Looking into it...

Does not work for me, the install went error free then it keeps on rebooting over and over again.. no clues what to do next... any suggestions ..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Harvey_Spectar:
Tty again with clean flash or redownload the package
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tarun_pixel:
Only custom-twrp-3.1.0-0-serranodsdd works and other versions doesn't even boot to recovery ... tried many custom roms using twrp 3.1 all install but none boot... what is it i am doing wrong ... the process is straight forward ... Wipe->Install->boot... but it doesn't boot the OS.. I have no idea why.. none of them works LP, MM, N .. nothing all stuck in boot loop... had to restore stock rom using odin... please suggest..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Harvey_Spectar:
For me all roms are working in twrp 3.1 and the latest oct-n too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
This rom just builds all of the mixer settings based on LineageOS for serrano-common based on arco68's work.

I'll have to test out those tweaks that they use on my device (serranolteusc) since those other roms don't build for mine.

I also was hoping not to have to track changes to the mixer settings but lets see how it goes on my device...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hanker_de:
Hello!

Did anyone dirty-flash the current weekly over the last build?

If I do so, I have to re-flash the Gapps, but all other Apps stay on the mobile, right?

Do I have to re-flash lineage-SuperSU as well (I think so)?

OctOs is a great ROM on the i9195, keep up the great work!

René
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Harvey_Spectar:
Nope just dirty flash them nothing will be erased and if you are scared then take a nandroid then dirty flash it
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tarun_pixel:
Hi.. Can you share your process of Flashing the rom.. maybe that helps..

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Harvey_Spectar:
Boot into twrp

Perform full wipe

Install rom, gapps and your appropriate kernel

Reboot

It's my process. I hope it helps
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] tarun_pixel:
"Appropriate Kernel" enlighten me on that .. I hope that what the trouble was ... any links and what you use .. That would be of great help...

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Harvey_Spectar:
if you do not flash any kernel then also rom will boot up as the rom includes its own kernel and its also good.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hanker_de:
Well, I tried just dirty-flashing. Yep, GApps were missing after doing so. So you *have* to re-flash GApps after each update (and I think ROOT too, didn't look at it because I reverted to my nandroid backup).

Regards

René
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jason972000:
I can confirm that su (root) is missing if you dirty flash the rom.

I've been sticking with Lineage su but I would think this is true for any other rooting method.

It seems like gapps always needs to be flashed at the same time a dirty flash is done.

This is how it was for marshmallow (OCT-M) too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rookie12:
Do we merge acros commits like AOKP?
