Yes,this will be updated. I'm kinda trying to update my builds in order,so I think AOKP is my next update. Then this. Hopefully I don't have issues as well. Time will tell.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] no_means_no:
After flashing the may build over the April build plus the latest micro opengapps package, wiped dalvik and cache, the phone became unusably laggy

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
This won't help you but for me you just described a third way to do a dirty flash. I understand you flashed with wiping caches and then flashed gapps. I've done the same successfully without flashing gapps again. Third way would be to wipe system and caches and flash gapps. So I'm confused now. What is a correct dirty flash? BTW I test flashed may build and it worked fine.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] no_means_no:
In my understanding a dirty flash is without any wipes or just dalvik/cache. A clean flash is with a full wipe. I thought/hoped to be able to do a dirty flash because it's the same ROM in just a newer version. But after different tries like with new gapos, without, with wiping cache, without and no satisfying result I either have to wait for a new version, do a clean flash (so much time restoring) or stay with it like it is.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I tested this as well. I dirty flashed the newest build over the older one. I have noticed no issues,so I'm not really sure what the problem you're having is caused by,sorry.

As far as a "dirty flash" I've always assumed it was

1. Clear cache/dalvik

2. Install ROM and gapps.

I always do clean flash though, so perhaps in wrong.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
On Slim6 I did it this way a few times but without flashing gapps again, it worked and even the Google account was still there. But mostly I do clean flash as well.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
That's right, I remember you mentioning before that there was no need to flash gapps again. Honestly, it's been so long since I've done a dirty flash. I always like to know if I've created problems with newer builds and a clean flash is the best way to determine that, or at least eliminate the possibility of a "dirty flash corruption"
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] no_means_no:
I totally agree. I'm just tired of reinstalling everything over and over again. Such a time-eater

Updated. Please see the main post for an important note about this build.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] no_means_no:
I'm sorry to bother you again, but I'm really frustrated, because I love this ROM, but I can't get it updated from april built. As the new update was out, I gave it another try. Dirty flash, laggy as hell. Clean flash...seemed all good despite some apps I couldn't restore correctly via titanium. But after a couple of hours it said "corrupt SD card" for no reason. I checked the card. It's all fine. After restoring my april build nandroid everything worked again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
No bother at all. I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help though. I really don't know why you experience this problem. It has worked fine for me. Hopefully someone will have some idea of what's causing this.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] guntzog:
I think I had something similar before, try re-downloading the zip and then reflash it
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] no_means_no:
I think if the file wasn't downloaded correctly, it would've never come into a running system.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] guntzog:
Negative, try and tell me :p
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Updated!

This turned out to be a difficult and time consuming build. I needed to fix a few issues. I believe I have and that the ROM is working well. Please see the main post for details about the build.

On Snapchat the camera lags alot when taking videos, any possible way to fix? Thanks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm, I don't use Snapchat so I really can't answer. Maybe someone who uses it and has experience with it can confirm and hopefully offer a solution.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Well there aren't many ways to speed up Snapchat. Even when you would use the stock firmware, it would lag, because of a few reasons:

1. The lack of processing power that our phone has. It can do simple tasks with ease, but heavier apps will almost always slow down.

2. Snapchat is a quite heavy app I think, because of the filters and the constant facial recognition. Also, it uses almost all the sensors and functions in our device like the camera, the microphone, the SIM card (for contacts), the GPS sensor and so on.

3. Snapchat isn't optimised very well for Android. That's what everyone always complains about I think.

So (how) can you fix that?

1. Overclock your phone should help a little bit. Tweak some governors using Spookcity's kernel and you should be able to have a little bit more processing power.

2. You can deny permissions like contacts and location so that Snapchat won't take up so much RAM.

3. And you can't really do anything about the optimisation other than send thousands of complaint letters, which isn't really worth it.

So in the end, there isn't really a way to make it run smooth, but these tips should improve performance at least a little bit as far as I know. Snapchat just isn't made for devices like ours.

EDIT: And then there's the standard tips like clearing cache but like I said, it's kinda hopeless.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Lewdog45:
Thanks for the info, I only asked because if you use the stock rom and record video on Snapchat it's perfect no lag at all, but when it comes to custom roms, video recording is very choppy and laggy, I'm not sure why but thanks for the information anyway.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Updated. Please see the main post for important details. This is more than likely my final update of this ROM

Enjoy!

Hi,

does anyone knows if the display scaling option (like the one that should be shipping by default with any nougat phone) is available on the s8?

I watched some videos digging into the settings and didn't had the chance to confirm it was there, any info?

By the way I'm talking about this feature: http://www.androidcentral.com/fit-more-your-galaxy-s7s-screen-condensed-mode

In fact I was talking about the screen "content density", not the rendered resolution.

Not sure if I'm clear, so I try to say it this way: the option allowing to display more content on screen is present.

Hi Guys, first time poster here (sorry if I do anything wrong), so thank you for your help! I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 off of ebay to replace my ipad mini 2, and I am trying to get TWRP onto it via Odin. I accidentally put it into the "BL" (bootloader) flashing section of the application and pressed start. I realized my mistake, and then put it into the correct section (I believe it was AP). Either way, the tablet reset. The tablet appears to be completely fine (it booted normally), but I do not have TWRP (I think that Odin might not have worked completely because of a driver issue? I am not so much worried about the TWRP thing unless it is relevant, more so worried about accidentally doing something to the device by using the "BL" section by accident. Can anyone confirm that my device should be OK? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomlincoln:
Hey Guys!

I have a problem with my GT-I9195. I bougth it from second hand because my last phone's MB has died.

My battery was fine if charged over 30-35%, but nearly that point it drops by 1% every 4-5 seconds.

I bought a new battery because I thought it's just simply the battery. No. The problem persists.

With another charger, it persists too. :( I have stock rom, rooted and installed TWRP.

Mainly using root just to integrate system apps' updates.

I went to a service guy, who said it can be a processor problem, since the processor controls the charging.

My thoughts are the following after reading n+1 topics on xda about this:

Clean fresh stock ROM install - I don't think it will help me out.

Custom ROM - I think it will be worse. :D

Custom (maybe just fixed) kernel - ??? (I think could be viable.)

Changing mainboard, because processor controls charing and it may be failing. - I dont think so......

Changing this part in the phone:

Picture

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSoong:
I have the same problem ... except that the battery will drop really quick when it hits 15% and die within a few minutes. As long as I keep the battery charged above 15%, all is fine.

I have tried the following:

1. "Re-calibrating" the battery - Let battery fully discharge till phone shuts off. Then charge till full, and restart phone. Rationale for this is that the phone may have an incorrect battery stats file, and thought the battery has more charge than actual, so even if the phone said battery is 15% (or whatever), the battery is actually dead.

This did not help me.

2. Install "Better Battery Stat" app, and monitor battery usage, in case a bad app is draining the battery. I did not detect any abnormal battery usage .

3. Clean install ROM. I was on stock, and I installed CM13. This did not solved the battery dying at 15% problem, but extended my phone's battery life. (I can routinely run 36 hrs or so with light usage before hitting 15%.) I presume this is due to getting rid of all the Samsung bloat ware. <Or maybe there was a bad app in the prev installation.>

I am now on Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.1). This ROM gives me ~10% improvement on battery life (compared to CM13), which I presume is due to improved Doze mode.

ATM I am getting good enough battery life out of the phone (~3 hr total screen on time, and up to 2 days of light/ mod use), so I have not pursue this further. I am simply treating this as phone not reading battery level properly and work around the limitations.

If you haven't, I would try the re-calibration trick. Didn't work for me, but may work for you. I have good luck going with custom rom (Lineage 14.1 by Arco is what I would suggest.) It extended the battery life of the phone to the point that I don't mind losing 15% capacity. <Might not work for you at 30% ....> I have seen some custom kernels that are supposed to give you faster charging (presumably by altering the charge rate algorithm). I don't think this would help as the problem appears to be problem of phone battery discharge / or the phone reading battery level correctly. <And messing with the charging algorithm is likely going to shorten battery longevity.>

Good luck. If you find a solution, please share!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
I think most likely is that both your batteries are old, as the sudden drop is typical of old batteries. Even though you got a new one there are lots of dodgy batteries, according to many sources, sold on ebay etc so I suspect you have one got a bad one.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomlincoln:
I bought factory battery, not a "chinese one", so I think it's not the source of the problem, but thank you anyway! :)

I tried to install that. Cannot work out to install gapps micro. :( Tried to zip-install LineAge, then install WebView choose Google WebView int the developer settings, then zip-install gapps micro. It always says setup wizard keeps closing, or something like that... :/ Have you got a solution for that?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSoong:
I did a clean install using TWRP recovery. I downloaded the zip files for Lineage (from xda thread) , and OpenGapps (ARM, 7.1, micro) from http://opengapps.org/ (both to my SD card). From TWRP, I did a factory reset, then the install option. I selected both the files and hit (swipe) install. Worked like a charm. <Also did aroma as well, and that worked too.>

You are supposed to be able to first install the ram, then install OpenGapps at a later date. However, I had problem with the 2 step approach with my HTC One, so always installed both zips together since.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
Good, should be OK then, but keep in mind it's quite possible fake Samsung branded or genuine Samsung batteries that have been "reconditioned" find their way into shops.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
Very interesting! I've thought for a long time there must be a bad batch that had a memory problem given the number of bricks on the S4 Mini thread. Though I did wonder if it was more likely the actual memory chip.

I've not seen anyone link the battery issue with the memory problem before, though it's possible, was there something that confirms this or just an educated guess? (edit: it has been suggested before that a low battery level could cause a memory corruption, though that seemed to be as the phone was shutting down not just losing charge quickly)

No, I don't know when they stopped mfg.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomlincoln:
I think the problem could be that 2.6.x.x cannot do this.

I flashed yesterday with these TWRP 2.7.1.0, worked like a charm.

open_gapps-arm-7.1-aroma-20170409.zip

addonsu-arm-signed.zip

I had some problem soon: From 100%@2AM it discharged to 0%@10AM.

I did not even touched the phone... Kinda weird.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomlincoln:
This screen means that the last recorded data from battery usage from GSam was - when my phone suddenly turned off -

was 37% ?! Really guys? :confused:

When I plugged in the charger, it said 15%....
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSoong:
I used the latest TWRP (3.0.2.1) to flash mine.

Can't say why you have that big drain at night. Perhaps an app updating? <And after a fresh install, many app will try to sync, etc.> Had that happen to me before - app tried to update overnight and killed the phone. <Bed room have patchy internet, and the constant reconnecting of a shaky internet signal drains the battery fast on my phone. <Now, I only allow update when phone is plugged in.>
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
that screen shot suggests it must be an app as 63% is very high if the phone was not used overnight, also if that was over night while you were sleeping then screen on time is high also. I would use apps to investigate wake locks and an app that shows cpu use for the app (unless your battery app shows each app)

But I still think there is something amiss with your battery as it shouldn't shut down suddenly from over 30% even using power at that rate with a good battery
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boombastical:
You also may to try to download 'Repair battery life' from Play Store and it is free... After fully charged battery you may try also to calibrate your battery if you your phone is rooted and there are also few free calibrating apps on the Play Store with instructions how to do it...

Succes !!!

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] PGHammer:
There is a reason why this tablet has caused so many to run into walls - it has an alien (in many ways) configuration compared to every other Samsung tablet - even the Galaxy Tab 2 that it replaced. The T4 used the Marvell PXA1088 SoC. While there were two Wi-fi versions (T230NU and T235NU), they are not identical - nor can one take the firmware of the other; the T235 has a Lollipop firmware available - the more common T230NU does not.

They are screen filter apps to reduce eye strain in the evening. The problem I am experiencing is that the standard driver, which these apps are built for, result in a very low responsive UI.

The rootless driver, which looks much worse, works fine btw. And this only started happening on EMUI 5.0, it worked fine on 4.0.
