If you have time, try clean flash. Just make a nandroid backup before you wipe, so that if the sim is not detected again, you can restore your older build and data

Update Center?

Good Day,

I installed this ROM this morning. What a beautiful ROM, works great.

Only "issue" is that I can't update the ROM (I believe it's under settings-> about phone -> xenon HD updates?). I get an error and the update closes. No messages saying "no updates available" etc.

Is this a known issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
This is a feature enabled by official builds AFAIK. These are unofficial so any updates will be in this thread and manually flashed via recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
New builds up

- updated sources

- March security patch

Enjoy :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Ulises31:
Thank so much for your work,. It is great this wonderful ROM goes on updating
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Dragon_of_Storm:
First: This is absoluteley a great rom. Thanks for your work, very nice experience, I'm glad i found this rom :)

I think, I found a bug: In "Do not disturb" mode, I configured that messages won't ring, but incoming calls ring during that mode. But when I test this, incoming calls don't ring as well?? Anybody same behaviour, or am I doing something wrong?

Two Times loss of all calender items

Hello,

i'm ver satisfied with this ROM (170616).

But I had 2 times a loss of all calender entrys. I dont know, if it is a problem of the ROM or a issue of my synchonizing app (FunV10 which works perfectly on a lot of phones of my family). Yesterday I had some uncompleted starts of my phone because of low battery, but i cant say if the calender items have been there today in the morning (sorry).

Is there a way to find out, whats was happened to my calendar or has anybody the same experinces with the calendar of this ROM?

Thank you.

Except the two little audio issues, the Rom works perfect and saves a lot of batterypower.

For anyone still using this rom, I have updated it including May security patch. Downloads are in the first post.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Yamiish:
thx for new update builds, i have installed previous Xenon build before & 1 thing that never worked for me was Bluetooth , even on new build

when i try to send any type of file it show a Toast message about incoming file but i can't accept it

Using GT-9195

before flashing this ROM i had a Octo version & bluetooth work fine
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
OK, thanks. Unfortunately, I don't really have time to try to find a fix for this issue, and without a log I don't really know where to begin looking...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Ulises31:
I have installed this last release and no issue with the bluetooth was found. It works fine paired with the bluetooth system in my car. I own a GT-i9195 also.

Thank so much. I am still in Nougat with your Xenon HD rom, so I am updating my i9195.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cobra-dk:
Thanks for the heads up! I had just switched to this rom because LineageOS 14.1 isn't developed any more. Thought I had found a nice replacement with Xenon.

You are right, Bluetooth doesn't work for me at all. Not in the car, headsets or anything.

Bummer!

Gotta keep on searching for a good rom.

Weird.... bluetooth has always worked well for me on this rom. (i9195)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] fassal:
Thanks for your work noppy22. Are you gonna keep providing security updates for this ROM? Any estimated for how long?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
I will try to keep building this rom if the XenonHD team keep updating the newer security patches. No promises though, and no, generally I won't be able to give an ETA. Having said that, I might get time in the next few days to build with August security patch included....
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
New builds are available in the first post including August security patch.

Will there be further updates?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
If I get time, I'll try to compile a new build in the next few days.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cancunia:
Just trying out this ROM, looks quite good, couple of questions:

1, Can I remove Nova Launcher, if so how?

2, I need root, what's the best way to install SuperSU?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
1. You can install any launcher you want to use and make it the default launcher. You don't need to uninstall Nova, but you can use a system app remover to remove it if you wish.

2. I generally use the lineage su addon or magisk but you should be able to just flash supersu from recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cancunia:
Thanks for the replies, I did as you suggested and have installed the Evie launcher. I wasn't sure how to use the Lineage SU addon as I'm a bit more familiar with SuperSU so have have the ZIP and installed via TWRP.

My only issue with Nova was that you need the full version to change the icon sizes.

Overall I'm very happy so far with this ROM, so thanks again for developing & sharing it.

My S4 Mini has random crashes so I'm hoping that this ROM will minimise them, time will tell....

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cancunia:
What's the best way to install updates so that you can keep existing config & apps etc?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
Just flash the update in TWRP without wiping anything, then wipe cache and dalvik/art cache and reboot. It doesn't hurt to flash a new open gapps package(if you use gapps) before you reboot either, as this will remove old google apps updates.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] metaxda:
[MENTION=7729891]cobra-dk[/MENTION],

how did you get MicroG working?

as far as i know, XenonHD is based on LineageOS, and so 'signature spoofing' is not enabled.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cobra-dk:
I used Tingle: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/tingle-fork-needle-t3438764

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] metaxda:
[MENTION=7729891]cobra-dk[/MENTION] , thanks for the quick reply!

so, did you download the Github files and then run " python main.py " ?

is there a way to run it on the phone, if i don't have Python compiler installed?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cobra-dk:
No idea about running it on the phone, maybe there is some way of doing that.

I run Linux on my home computer, so python was there already ;)

Yes, "python main.py" after enabling root for ADB and booting into recovery.

There is a README.md file in the archive explaining all the steps.

It sounds complicated when you read about it, but it really only takes a few minutes.

Thanks a lot for keeping this ROM alive. I really appreciate all your hard work.:good:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xenon_special:
Hello,

after testing a lot of ROMs on my S4s I found this the stablest and smoothest solutions. Runs really perfect also with Xposed mod and XprivacyLua.

Only thing I'm missing is the BLN mod in the Kernel. Maybe this can be integrated in the future releases!

Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] giannis athlos:
Thank you very much for this rom. It's very good for daily use, this rom made my s4 mini usable again after all these years i tried too many roms but this one is the most stable i have ever use and everything works!!! Huge thanks again to everyone who worked on this rom and keep my phone usable after all these years!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] zorzibaffo:
Thanks for this rom. I'm testing.

EDIT: It seems I retrieved a decent battery duration. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cancunia:
I've had this ROM for a while now and the only problem I have is that the battery goes flat even if I power the phone off. If I take the battery out, it holds the charge no problem, I have a spare battery and get the same problem.

Is this a known problem with the phone (GT-I9195) or is this ROM not working properly?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] giannis athlos:
The only problem i have with this rom and all android nougat roms is that i can't sent video in instagram direct. All types of videos can't be sent even if i record it through instagram app. I have i9195 and this happening only in nougat roms, anyone else have this problem or know to fix it ? Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Pipinpadiloxacopolis:
EDIT: never mind the below, 200322 did install after I wiped the System partition from TWRP. So far looks ok, but it's been using CPU at 100% for the past hour for some reason. Hope it finishes whatever it's doing.

Just tried version XenonHD-200322-Unofficial-serranoltexx, I think before noppy22 had a chance to announce it. (...frist post!), and unfortunately it didn't boot on my GT-I9195. I think I'm the only one that downloaded it so far. It got stuck on the system boot splash screen (the "Samsung Galaxy S4 mini" one, not the OS). Keeping an eye out for a newer release.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
I wasn't going to post here, I have been just updating the thread title when I have done a new build, so anyone glancing at it would see if it has been updated. I'm not too sure how many people are interested in an android version this old. I just like this rom because it is good with battery usage and runs smoothly. I tend to come back to this rom for my daily driver, so it's a bonus that they are still occasionally updating security patches...

I had the time this morning to flash the new build (i9195), and had no problem. Dirty flash (I just installed the new build, then wiped dalvik/art + cache, then reboot) over XenonHD-191016-Unofficial-serranoltexx.zip. It seemed a normal amount of time to boot into system.

So far everything is working as expected. Possibly if you dirty flashed over an older build, there may have been conflicts that might require a clean flash, but other than that I'm not sure why CPU would be on constantly. Maybe try another reboot, or try to find the process that is keeping the CPU from idling....

Yesterday I followed Noppy22's instruction: I flashed the new build (i9195), and had no problem. Dirty flash (I just installed the new build, then wiped dalvik/art + cache, then reboot) over XenonHD-191016-Unofficial-serranoltexx.zip.

Works great! Thanks Noppy22
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Pipinpadiloxacopolis:
Thank you for the suggestions noppy22! I finally fixed the maxed-out CPU problem by installing a new OpenGApps zip from TWRP. When it wasn't working I was relying on "dirty" google apps still working after the upgrade, and that somehow failed. (The tip-off was in the logcat, which showed a looping errors about "com.google.android.gsf.gservices" and other Googley packages).

Sorry for not having done this from the start, and thank you very much for maintaining these builds!!

Update

Hello XenonHD Developers.

Can you please update and upload to AndroidFileHost ?

I'm using "XenonHD-200322-Unofficial-serranoltexx.zip" without GApps. GPS doesn't work. Does GPS need GApps to work ? Or can it be that the GPS Chip broke, because i literally dropped my SGS4Mini 2x in 6 years and something is rattling inside ?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] pw16:
The user Noppy22 who developed this rom does no longer exist as a xda user. So don't expect any future updates.

GPS does work with my XenonHD-200322-Unofficial-serranoltexx. I use open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-2000417 but I don't know if that's required for GPS.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Du22ty:
I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned more but with the 10 and polarized sunglasses it was impossible to view the screen in portrait mode. Anyone have word if that is the case with the U11? I've pre-ordered but haven't gotten a definitive answer and none of the official people reply on twitter.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shineyads:
I read a review a couple of days ago where it said the polarisation plate (or whatever it's called) had been moved to landscape so the screen was black if you wear polarised glasses and view it in landscape. Better than portrait I suppose, but still not ideal.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Maybe you should take a look in the flagship discussion thread. There it tells that the U11 has no problems with polarization, nor in landscape or in portrait. The guys there tested a unit with different polarized glasses.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Du22ty:
Sorry man. I searched that thread with the term "polarization" and got one hit from 2017 talking about raybans and polarization in general. Maybe I was doing it wrong. Thanks for the info. Good to hear.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mbaseball3:
Oakley's gave me a black screen with my 10 when in landscape. If yours was portrait, man that sucks. Hopefully the U11 doesn't do same thing.

I have htc 10 and it is viewable from my polarised glasses after I pasted tempered glass on the screen. Hope this helps.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] tony.wheeler:
Great for me! I can use my Oakley Polaroid glasses and now see the screen very clearly in portrait mode. When landscape it's just as the HTC 10 is in portrait - cannot see the screen

HTC have obviously changed the screen set-up and this is good news for me (in my car).
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] GLO:
I have seen polarisation on m7 and m8 but it wasn't a deliberate act by the glass manufacturer.

Are some now implying this is now standard?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Kisakuku:
Absolutely all LCDs polarize light linearly.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] GLO:
Hi kisakuku,

I'm specifically referring to the touch screen glass.

One of my HTC M8 (we have 3 in the family) has polarised glass. It was replaced under warranty and the replacement glass did not exhibit the glass polarization.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] SinisterChedda:
I have the u11. My Oakley sunglasses can't see screen in landscape mode. Portrait no problem.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] synplex:
Same here with my Ray Bans and cheaper polarized sunglasses.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] GLO:
So should the HTC glass be polarised now or not?

My M7 and M8 are not.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] pumah350:
In portrait on the U11, polarized glasses are not affected, thankfully!!...in landscape mode it will be black.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] GLO:
I went past the HTC Authorised repairer today.

I compared my HTC U11 with a HTC U Ultra and HTC 10 all with Polarised glasses.

The U Ultra, could be viewed at any angle and not affected ( This is how it should be!)

The U11 could be view vertically, but in landscape it could not ( which means in Navigation mode- and when I'm driving with my Polarized sunglasses I cant see the scree)

The HTC 10 could not be viewed vertically but could be viewed in landscape mode.

I think this proves that sufficiently now.

The impact is to users who use polarised lenses.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] GLO:
Who has an non-polarized screen?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] hgoldner:
Can confirm precisely this; 10 does not work well with polarized lenses when held in portrait; U11 does not work well with polarized lenses in landscape. There were numerous complaints about polarization on the 10 (since it wasn't extant on the M8 or M9). I suppose HTC's response was to "switch" polarity on the U11 from the 10.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] TheTruthKC:
Yah, this kinda stinks about the U11. I can live with it as I don't use it in landscape that much while wearing my sunglasses.

One thing that solved it on my previous OPO which had the same issues was a matte screen protector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JW0AUJA/

If one like this becomes available, I may try it, even though I love the feel of the original glass.

That's a really subjective question. The Mi5 (after you change the mixer_paths_tasha.xml file to the China one) has very good, clean and loud output.

What headphones you should get depends only on your music taste. I have since done some research in order to get a better perspective, and have found these to be the best:

- MEMT X5 (you might want to get other tips, as it only includes double flanged tips)

- Tin Audio T515

- Rock Zicron

- CoIYue E1

They are listed in the order I'd recommend them, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

Edit: If your budget is higher I can highly recommend the Sennheiser Momentum II in-ears - They have a great soundstage, clean output and a good emphasis on bass and treble without muddying the mids.

Edit: Updated suggested earphone list with better alternatives
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] anantalawliet:
Thanks for the full explanation , liked it. I've decided to buy the Sennheiser Momentum II in-ears. Thank you very much. :highfive:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] xdadevet:
​

Let me know what you think of them - I went to a studio and tried everything, from DACs to headphones to DSD files and Electrostats. I have a soft spot for the Sennheisers because despite everything they came close to some of the best over ear headphones (there was a difference but not one worth $6000) but were much more fun to listen to.

If you need help setting up your Mi5 audio files after you get tour headphones let me know :highfive:

How can I edit that build prop on my Mi5 with latest Xiaomi.eu dev ROM please?

Odoslané z MI 5 pomocou Tapatalku
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] xdadevet:
If you're implying the file I mentioned earlier, it's not the build prop. The Chinese one (or Xiaomi.eu, since they share a common base) contain the same file settings and can replace the one you use in Lineage/Global ROMs.

You have to be Rooted to modify system files, so do that first. Then copy and replace the file found in root/system/etc with the one I'm attaching and reboot. The output from the headphone jack should be much higher, if it isn't your ROM dev already included the fix.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] xdadevet:
I doubt it, there a very few on the market (Xiaomi makes a pair though) so they're not really competitive and you can get much better headphones for a lot cheaper at this point. Also, since USB type C doesn't have any real advantage over the 3.5mm jack with normal earphones (not including high impedance earphones or a pair with ANC) and the Mi 5 has an audio jack, I don't think there is any real interest in getting a pair.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] Mr.201:
I can totally recommend Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD(the one with triple driver). I can safely say it did replaced my headphones(AT M50x & superlux hd681evo, and a JBL bluetooth) during my 4 months travel time. But mind you it's sharp sounding and bright as it has v-shaped sound but smooth and not sluggish.

While the price might seems a little bit on the cheap side, fortunately the durability is alright. I'm skeptical with Xiaomi's decision to go with rubber cable rather than previous Piston 3 keylar lined cable but it did survive many accidental pulls on my side.

If you decided to pick one up, buy 3rd party eartip as stock eartip doesn't have good isolation.

But be careful for fake Hybrid Pros.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] Ttitandavid:
