I just installed latest update with latest gapps and everything stops working on the first boot and setup. Now I'm just using my phone without gapps and I have no problem! Any solution? I also updated TWRP recovery. I wiped everything except internal memory cause I have no SD card to save the ROM. Before this installation I had a nougat ROM so nougat version of gapps too and I'm thinking if it has to do with any saved files from previous ROM and gapps.

Edit: I fixed my problem, I wiped everything and installed ROM and gapps from SD card. On first boot ui crashed once but after this it continued to setup process and everything was fine for one day that I used it but when I tried to restart bootloop started.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] miccca:
how to update this new builds of the same rom without losing apps and app data like any updating app does with twrp?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anirudh Kartik:
Wipe cache and dalvik and then flash in twrp. U will have all Ur app data.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] miccca:
thank you my friend
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fr@nx:
Thanks, now it works.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Let me know if it still happens with the July build.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] giannis athlos:
Hello everyone and sorry for posting this here. first of all i want to thank you for your work you have done for my phone!! Im using it as my main smartphone since 2013 and thanks to you still rockin with latest android. Now my problem is that i wanted to test something (mostly battery) with stock rom installed but i can't make wifi turn on i have tried many different downloads from samsung's site but i can't fix it. Im installing android 4.4.2 with odin version 3.09. I tried some of the latest basebands and latest firmware updates but everytime i got the same problem which is the wifi. This only happens when im installing stock rom, do you have any idea on how to fix it; thanks in advance! I have s4 mini i9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Flashing latest baseband should really fix it. Sometimes there can be an issue with getting the baseband to actually flash correctly. To do it properly, shut phone completely off. Then pull the battery for a few seconds. Insert battery and enter download mode. Then flash baseband. Check in about phone after boot if baseband matches what you flashed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] situ1962:
My god! You are still developing for I9192. I have changed 4 phone since ace. It was a good phone but it had very limited memory and ram.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jules63:
Thanks arco68 for the latest rom update, July. I have dirty flashed it over the previous one and have noticed a couple of issues held over from the previous rom.

The auto-brightness keeps setting itself to high if set low after say an hour of phone left alone.

The wifi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

I am currently using 14.0 as my daily driver and would love to swap to 16.0 one day and I hope you can sort the few remaining bugs as it's so close.

Thanks again for keeping this superb phone going.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Alienatick:
It still happens, after a while of use screen goes black, and phone auto reboots.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
I can give a +1 on the black screen, also had it with 15.1 up until the 20190413 release. With current 16.0 it still happens, but much less!

No reboots so far however.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Alienatick:
My phone automatically reboots after the screen goes black. I'm on July build for serranoltexx.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] paulholland:
No black screen or reboot with July build for GT-I9195 yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Alienatick:
I'm using the same device as you. Try opening many apps at once and using them.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] palmiye1:
Hey, thank you for your great effort [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]:). May I suggest something? Can you add tr add-on dictionary for keyboard? I couldn't find a way to install other language's dictionaries for AOSP keyboard. Thanks again. Have a great day.:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
Turkish? Should be able to add it in phone settings under language & input as it is supported for all LineageOS
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] palmiye1:
Thanks for reply.:)Not input but word suggestion and correction.:) Some languages installed default but not turkish.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] so_bek:
Can anybody tell me how mature 16.0 is compared to 15.1? I'm considering to move to 16.0, but it's a bit hard to distill that out of 90+ pages of this thread.

Btw. is there any good documentation on how to migrate app data between flashing new versions? I managed to royally screw myself when i moved from 14 to 15 (tried Titanium Backup but most app data wouldn't get restored properly).

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anirudh Kartik:
16.0 is stable for me with decent battery life. I have found no bugs so far. Been using it for the last 2 months. I do prefer it to 15.1 because I use the app timers a lot on the digital well-being. I haven't really found a performance difference, I feel los 16 handles pretty well. I refrain from gaming though, so i couldn't tell u much on that aspect. I get over 2 days stand by time in terms of bb, when I don't use the phone much. Deep sleep is implemented well.

You can use an app called migrate, it seems to be better than titanium, instructions are in the app itself. Just don't back up system apps. I honestly avoid using such backups because then you won't know if a bug is because of the rom or the backup. But I have heard positive things about the migrate app. It's on the play store so u can give it a shot.

Hope I helped!:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Alienatick:
It's a really good ROM. But there's an annoying bug that makes the screen go black, and sometimes battery use is excessive, sometimes the phone heats no bid deal. The only problem is the screen going black, besides that it's cool.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
I use this ROM from the first release as daily Driver, never had the issue that the Screen goes black, OK some times if got an reboot but this issues I never seen with the Last Version.

Also I never had the heating problem, my Battery Setting is efficient and works perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] so_bek:
I installed from scratch and it works like a charm. Thanks for the input!

And big thanks to Arne for maintaining serrano!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jules63:
Is anyone else noticing the auto screen brightness is working a bit oddly? Keeps resetting to high.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Yes, I can confirm this.

And I'm having real trouble with my mobile connection. Right after bootup I usually always have a connection, but it usually breaks down after a few seconds. Sometimes it comes up again, mostly it doesn't and stays at "no service". After a couple of reboots (= rolling the dice) it works, then it's really stable.

I have the latest baseband I9195XXUCQL2 installed.

Would a syslog help?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] klorgfasder:
Adopted Storage and Sim card insert/remove

About two months ago I had trouble with the adopted storage suddenly not working anymore after the update from the May to June edition on my 9195. I reported in this post here, couldn't find the cause, supected that I did something wrong, but got it somehow working again, planned to make a clean start later.... which I just did.

And I found two ways to make a perfectly working adopted storage sdcard suddenly go 'missing' and never to be 'found' again on the phone in question:

Way 1: Setup the phone without a simcard inserted to use a sd card as adopted storage. Later insert a simcard

Way 2: Setup the phone with a simcard inserted to use a sd card as adopted storage. Later remove the simcard

I've tested that with three perfectly working sdcards, with both the 9195 and the 9190, and I always started the run with wipe advanced dalvik, cache, data, internal storage, and system, installed the July update, magisk, gapps-pico, ran through setup, rebooted twice (just for test and fun) and adopted storage worked just fine ....

... until after inserting, respectively removing the simcard: On the next powerup, Android reported that the sdcard is missing and should be please reinserted. And there was nothing to be done to make the phone accept it back.

Meanwhile the sdcard would show under storage, and it would list app, data, and cache values (correctly?) and it's only option would be to format it as mobile (I did that once for fun and the 64GB card then showed as a 43MB card).

Meanwhile the sdcard was perfectly visible with all it's folders and files in Team Win recovery, and I could even (in recovery) pull files and folders with adb from it - but only to a certain extent: adb pull would just get stuck in the middle of one of the files (e.g. 45% of the 3456th file) and do no more.

This makes me suspect that the changed status (simcard / no simcard) somehow - on first boot after - messes something on the adopted storage, but this is beyond my area of expertise.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Pori12:
I also confirm this issue with I9195XXUCQL2 modem. I only get mobile network if I choose 2G as preferred. When changing to 3G or LTE the network is lost immediately.

Any suggestion is appreciated!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] gcs88:
[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] connection still dropping after reboot. could you plz take a look into it. without cellular network it's a little bit useless :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] carpler:
After completly wiped my S4 mini, I installed the last Lineage 16 build with gapps. Never rooted my phone before...

Sorry for my stupid question: how to root arco's build?

Magisk is necessary, or the Lineage SU addon is enough?

Inviato dal mio DUK-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
I prefere Magisk, install Magisk 18.0 with TWRP and than let Phone update over the Magisk manager App.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Addonsu arm 16.0 is enough. Enable root in developer settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mielletseed:
I'm running 190705 build of this ROM on by GT-I9192. Since a couple of days the device stopped playing notification sounds. The sounds are configured fine. When I'm in the main menu or the notification settings menu of the apps there I can here the notification sounds. But when it comes to a real notification there is only the vibration but no sound. The sound is not muted. Before I tried the option to adjust notification and ring volume separately. In both options there is no sound for notifications even with loudest volume level.

Any ideas how to get notification sounds back?

My serranoltexx died today after 6 years. I guess this means goodbye. It's going to be replaced by an S5 (a phone without a replacable battery is a no-go for me!)

Thanks a lot [MENTION=700912]arco[/MENTION] for being a big part of it. Hope for you guys your phones will live longer!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
The good thing about s4 mini: it is easy to repair. Better than S5. I always try to have enough phones so i can combine best parts for my daily driver.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mtrantalainen:
My serranoltexx failed earlier this summer, too.

Luckily, the phone is really easy to repair as long as your display is okay. See video at https://youtu.be/4sOKKoxu3L4. All you need is fingernails and PH0 screwdriver.

Aliexpress has cheap parts e.g. full unlocked motherboards for $16 including postage and handling to USA or around 14€ to Europe ( e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32824292072.html ).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BOTUS:
my I9192 died, one of the chips on the board needs a reflow (ought to get it running to take some pic and vids off for her), and the I9195 has been put in a special place by said numpty who's forgotton the password.

what's the best solution.... I thought she'd have remembered by now but 4 months on still in the cupboard and no idea.... I could back up most of it via twerp and usb… can I then wipe and reinstall or is them some magic?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
The magic is to format data partition in case of some encryption.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BOTUS:
thanks, but that'll lose the info I want to get at... or do you mean back that up (via twerp and usb) then wipe one bit without killing os and the apps ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mtrantalainen:
If the phone is encrypted and you don't have the password, all the data is lost. There's no backdoor. (... or if you know that the password is short e.g. a couple of characters, you could try brute forcing it - that is, try every possible combination of characters and letters until you successfully open the device.)

If the phone is NOT encrypted and you don't have a password, you can simply reboot to recovery and copy all the data via adb. If the phone doesn't have custom recovery and the device is boot locked, your data is lost in practice. It could be extracted in theory but doing that may require special hardware and skills. If the data is really valuable, it's still worth trying.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Thanks guys, you convinced me to give it another try. I'll keep the S5 as my main phone, its format factor suits me better, I have quite big hands etc.

So this is just a goodbye for some days/weeks :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] so_bek:
As some others have mentioned, i too have some issues with the radio, sometimes after i relocate from one service cell to another, it tells me that there is no service (manually choosing the provider sometimes helps, sometimes only a complete reboot helps). Is there some kind of list of firmware stuff that needs to be kept up to date that i could work through to troubleshoot this? I bought this phone used and i haven't ever flashed any new firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] TnA.Plastic:
[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] Sadly, it (screen blanking bug) is still present.

Hello, same problem for me with notification sounds. Incoming SMS message starting with no notification sound when the phone is locked.

When I activate the screen, the notification sound starts playing. But in locked status with disabled screen there is no notification sound.

Edit: After a while SMS notification sound worked. For example, the message was received 24 minutes before the notification signal started.

Message Notification

Update:

Under settings category "Battery Optimization" I disabled the service com.android.smspush and some other notification services. Maybe a solution, but i am still testing it. My last 2 SMS received now with notification sound and screen activation.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jakall:
Hi all,

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] thanks for some pie, you're great. It works like a charm

Did anyone successfully install Google Camera from Open Gapps on serranoltexx ? Will it work?

I have the same issue with latest version of LineageOS, the same logs, after touching these settings. Leaving it untouched after fresh install doesn't produce this error. I'll wait for a fix before going deep into it
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
I was able to reproduce it, so I'll try to fix it for next build.

Hint for those that gets stuck on boot: Enter recovery and delete /data/vendor/display/.displaymodedefault
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
And a was scared, my third S4 mini would also die soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Datamind:
No solution, I wrote bull****. My Samsung S4 Mini with LineageOS owned me like a noob. Now the mighty feature "notification sound" is too mighty for me. I only want a beeep beeep when the SMS received on my phone. But SMS tests from other devices show how I am under smartphone control. After i sent the message, one time the phone notificated me after 16 minutes, one time after 36 minutes and one more time after a hour. And sometimes it only sounds and informates me about new messages when i activate/unlock screen. Finally, it could be possible that the System laughed about me. I deactivated Quiet Mode, Battery Optimization and other phone features to made the phone more stupid like me.

Man, I upgraded my System 1 month ago from a Samsung Galaxy S1, CyanogenMod 4.4.2 to this one. Like i jump with 1 step from the middle school to the high school class. In this case, my phone/system is the older bully who wants an 1 on 1 battle at schoolyard. I also need mighty power for the brawl with my new enemy.

I will activate my ROOT Access to get superuser power and I will demonstrate the system what it means to be "out of control" :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] TnA.Plastic:
I found another small bug...

I am using the Google-Dialer, but ought to remember that the LineageOS-Dialer had the same issue...

When I turn on the louder speaker and turn it back off, the person on the other end won't hear me, until I turn the louder speaker on again, or until I restart the call.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] so_bek:
Ok so after finding this thread, i went ahead and flashed I9195XXUCQL2. So far it works well, but I'll report back once I'm sure that it actually fixed the cell service dropping out when switching between cells.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jakall:
Because of errors described by [MENTION=9827937]mtrantalainen[/MENTION] I'm flashed build from June and I'm encountering system crashes few times per day. Usually it occurs during manipulating UI (checkboxes, sliders etc). Is it known issue with this build?

Which app is best for saving and restoring system settings of linneageOS? It's very time consuming to set up all setting after every flash. I used once ROM Settings Backup, but it is not as good as it should be.

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] where I can find sources of your ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] so_bek:
So after about 1 1/2 days i would say that this has cured my issues, cell service is *much* more reliable with that baseband version.

I'm using the most current build (July) and i haven't had a crash yet. I installed completely from scratch, though.

New builds with August security patches uploaded.

I wasn't able to fix the livedisplay issue yet, so for now the option to set mDNIE modes is removed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Did you investigate more in that issue? With august update i have it also.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] miccca:
this rom is getting better and better

thanks arco
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
I never have this issue, it is possible that your core is overheated. Check your Battery Settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jules63:
I have not had any black screen problems but I still have the auto-brightness fault that was in previous builds. I am guessing this is not an easy fix. I've been experimenting with 3rd party auto brightness apps and they do seem to override the system brightness settings but I haven't found an app yet that I have had 100% success with.

Arco68, many thanks for your continued work on this excellent rom. Do you think it might be possible to fix the stock auto brightness? it worked perfectly on LOS14.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] gcs88:
I saw i also had an old firmware version installed. So i upgrade from I9195XXUCNJ4 to I9195XXUCQL2. It seems mobile cellular stay connected now but perhaps i have wrong aps settings cause can't connect to mobile internet.

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] perhaps you should mention this in op which modem should be used?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] gkhankaan@outlook.com:

A question about NFC

Dear [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]

thank you for your continous work on Android for the S4 Mini!

One question regarding NFC - I'm searching for information wether our S4 Mini will be technically able to support NFC Extended Length with Android P. As far as I understood from reading this Google issue about NFC and the changes merged to AOSP, it should be possible to adjust the software values now, right? I couldn't find any detailed information about the technical specifications of our NFC chip.

Why am I interested in NFC on our S4 Mini? I'd love to be able to use it as an NFC Reader for different purposes, especially in combination with german ID verification online. This would require a minimal ADPU Length of more than 400 Bytes - not the hardcoded 261 Bytes that were possible before. Do you have any insights on this topic? It would make the S4 Mini an even more useful tool.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Try adding this to libnfc-brcm.conf (Oreo), or libnfc-nci.conf (Pie). If this works, I can add it permanently.

#################################################################################

# Set max transceive length for IsoDep frames

# Standard 0x105 (261)

# Extended 0xFEFF (65279)

ISO_DEP_MAX_TRANSCEIVE=0xFEFF
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Whitest:
Great news! It seems to work on Oreo from what I can see with a quick test! Thank you so much!

After adding the lines you posted to /system/vendor/etc/libnfc-brcm.conf and rebooting the error message in that german ID app Ausweisapp2 about Extended Length disappeared! It seems now NFC Extended Length works with the Samsung S4 Mini! :good::highfive::victory: (At least on supercool LineageOS 15.1)

I'll test it on Pie too in the next days and report back.
