[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Aztek92:
I'm using the build for a day now, on a technical side it's perfect. Runs way better than my previous one, tho my Nougat needed refreshment anyway. [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] I silently hoped it will be fixed in Oreo or Pie, but sadly some drivers for a camera are not that great. Some apps have a problem with the stretched image.

For example recording telescope videos with Telegram X or some Google apps like Motion Stills. You can check it here if needed: https://t.me/tgandroidtests/17428 and for comparison: https://t.me/tgandroidtests/17427).

Other than that phone sometimes cannot connect to Camera. It happens only sometimes and I can't reproduce it - but when that happens restart is needed.

Now info for everyone else interested in installing Android Pie.

Just like arco said - it's just a basic system and not too much to be found here. You WILL also face some problems, that hopefully will be solved by LineageOS features in the future.

So, you may want to know:

1. There is no "Recent Apps" button. Also no settings for buttons at all. That means you have buttons for (LTR) Menu, Home, Back and can't change it. There is a workaround provided by a launcher. I'm using Nova Launcher that gives me an option to assign "Recent Apps" to Home Button, but it only works on home screen. Which means you have to go to the home screen every time you want to change app. I was searching for other solution but couldn't find any. If there is something I missed let me know.

2. Auto-brightness works just fine. I don't know if the guy somewhere in the previous post is aware that in Android Pie there is no longer a button needed. The slider just moves automatically.

3. An answer to my own question. Yes, you can force allow apps on external without LineageOS features. It's provided by Android and can be found in Dev settings. So don't worry about lack of space on Internal Storage.

4. You can still face some bugs in apps on Play Store. It has nothing to do with the build. Just support for Android Pie is just garbage for now.

5. If you wonder what gapps package to install since there is no recommendation - I installed NANO and everything works fine. PICO just wasn't enough for me.

6. Display size change is limited to Min, Default and Max. If you used Nougat before, there was also Mid-huge and Mid-low (that I used to use). So seeing everything that big on the small screen was blast for me :D Not sure if that's something that LineageOS can change.

Also I didn't encounter any problems so far. NFC works just fine, battery life is normal and a system runs very smoothly.

New builds in first post, for I9190 and I9195.

A few apps have been added back, and some features are added. There might be some options in the preferences that's just place-holders for now, and doesn't do anything. I think some button options fall under that.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] say010:
plz build for 19192
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Killery151:
Thanks !

Hi !

Everything works perfectly !! (no big problems in sight) back lights are here !!

But since the first version, I encounter a strange bug,

It's happening when i touch the the limit of the bottom of the screen and when the content displayed on the screen is changing

The screen becomes blue then goes out (it does not happen on chrome)

I hope this can help and sorry for my english...

(Sent from the s4 mini with Android pie ✌)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Aztek92:
Oh, now we get old 'Recent apps' back? :c C'mon, that's one of the reasons i actually switched to Pie :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Hmm, must be a feature in the new QuickStep launcher. For this build I switched back to the old launcher, since I discovered that the new one has bug which results in random screen freezes.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] slukk1:
Dear [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION], will there ever be an official firmware of any version of Android (9 or 10 when it appears) from your production for S4 mini? Thx.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] A$ApFlako:
Great ROM, works on my 3g model. I just can not open the applications recently; or change from one to another. any solution to this?

I can not change the place clock, and other options of the bar. and substratum does not work. But great job sir, you are amazing

Edit: already the recent applications work, when changing it to home button, in double click.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ron!:

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] You mentioned that Android Pie is easier to develop than Android oreo. so fix ril for 19192 will be easier than Android Oreo ? Please build for 19192 too or fix Ril as it did in oreo and [MENTION=5416372]csendre[/MENTION] build it .. Thank you for genius work .. sorry my English
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
Working Sweet !

Did a clean install, then reboot, install Magisk trough twrp after.

In Magisk download module yalpstore, which is working fine

Banking app working nice and waze navigation good to go.

I don't install gapps, will try to go without it.

thanks for the good work
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Aztek92:
Sounds reasonable. Can I somehow flash QuickStep Launcher alone? I can't really find answer or launcher itself, but on daily basis I use Nova Launcher anyway, so I wouldn't mind the bug :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] robertojacome:
the rom works perfectly, I've been using it for a week now and it has not given me errors of any kind, additional applications that I have used are:

Button Mapper: gives options to configure buttons and activate recent applications and split screen from any application

Snap Camera: improves the resolution when taking photos and videos without any problem.

With these 2 simple applications solve all the errors that I have given in my GT-I9195

I recommend 100%.

If you want help write to my instagram

Official GAPPS are here as well. https://opengapps.org/

Can I (and/or should I) flash them over installed unofficial GAPPS?

Edit. [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] - I found first bug. In settings when trying to change accent colour in Style settings "Settings" app crashes. I know they're few placeholders there, but this one behaves different than others so I decided to report.

Edit2. [MENTION=8953766]HemanthJabalpuri[/MENTION] not really. thread for unofficial GAPPS is closed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] HemanthJabalpuri:
Sir you can also post in unofficial gapps thread for answer..

and also a note is given in opengapps site

9.0 requires a patched ROM for proper WebView support

Yeah bro, I won the battle against LineageOS 16.0.

I downgraded my system to lineage-15.1-20190614-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx. No problems with notification sound and no other problems for the moment. Updates are still coming for 15.1.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Sorry for discussing 15.1 in 16.0 thread, but where do you see Updates?

August build zip of GT 19192 seems to be corrupt. I have downloaded it thrice so far and it keeps giving me the same error saying file is corrupt.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Claudio4780:
Downloaded and dirty flashed in on 15. August without any problems. Storage now shows for the first time the correct volume. Before it was always double the actual sd-card
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Anirudh Kartik:
Oh, I never had storage problem. But twrp keeps telling me my file is corrupt. And idk what to do.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
For me on my I9192 August build is working fine

No twrp installation error at all

Looks to me that your download file is corrupted

Redownload it will fix that

(Currently replying you from I9192 using August build)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
Did you download both, ROM and the MD5 checksums ?

Ore disable on TWRP the ckecksum feature.

Also, have you tried an older TWRP Version?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] TnA.Plastic:
Within TWRP are settings and there you can choose to ignore the MD5.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ghorin:
Hello,

I have a old I9195 phone that i want to configure for my daughter. Currently it's with the official Samsung 5.0.1 ROM and i want to upgrade it as i need an application with a more recent ROM as prerequisite.

My question is : is this Lineage 16 ROM ready for a daily use (phone calls and sms essentially) ? Or are there still issues to be corrected (reading the last posts here seems to indicate that yes) ?

Thanks in advance

Eric
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Are you sure your daughter will only do phone calls and sms? ;)

You're good to go. I used it until recently and the only issue I had was a display that sometimes went black without no apparent reason. No biggie and a buddy of mine uses it aswell and doesn't have this issue. This ROM works very good.

Do it! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ghorin:
Thank you sekret1 for your answer :)

She's only 10 and that'll be her first phone and our "contract" with her is very clear : it's for calling or sms with dad and mum after school if needed. I'll install Google Family Link for parental control. I'll block data outside wifi. For that phone, i've bought a "unlimited calls and sms/mms + 50 Mb data only" package. Anyway this S4 Mini phone has a "tired" battery that won't last long if she plays with it and she already has a tablet with games on it to play at home.

Now this is the beginning, someday we'll have to change that and give her a better phone and a "many Gb data" package. But not now !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] IronRoo:
I9195 least official Samsung release was 4.2.2 wasn't it? Or is it a variant like I9195i or something?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Catfish78:
Hello,

for me this phone is working better with this LOS version than modern, cheap throwaway smartphones. Side by side with my Galaxy S2 (of course with LOS16, too) i really love both of them, showing that it is possible to produce smartphones that last long. I don't have had problems with them.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ghorin:
Well no I had the latest Samsung ROM and it was 5.0.1 on my I9195.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

The problem is that I want to install Google Family Link on that phone so that i can do my parental control over my daughter's phone. And Google Family Link needs at least 5.1, thus I have to flash a unofficial ROM on it. And then I prefer flashing a recent ROM like Lineage 16 / Android AOSP 9.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ghorin:
I'm starting upgrading my phone. But as my phone doens't have yet a custom recovery tool (like TWRP) i have to prepare it for that and this isn't explained here. So I put below all the steps i've scheduled to do. Would it be possible for you to check and tell me if every thing is fine ? I thank you in advance.

1) Prepare the files

==> for TWRP installation

- Odin 3.13 found on odindownload.com

- TWRP file : I9195XXUCQL2_I9195XXUCQL2.tar (found on https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3736888)

- Samsung USB drivers => installed on my Windows 10

==> for Lineage installation

- Lineage 16 ROM : lineage-16.0-20190814-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip

- Google Apps : open_gapps-arm-9.0-stock-20190823.zip

2) Install TWRP (i'm using guide from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EldbDI-hkk)

2.1 Start the phone in recovery mode

122 Connect the phone to the PC with USB

2.3 Launch Odin with admin rights

2.4 Put I9195XXUCQL2_I9195XXUCQL2.tar in "AP" option

Uncheck options "Auto-reboot" and "F. reset time"

Click on "Start" button

2.5 Put off the phone

3) Install Lineage ROM and GApps

3.1 Put the Lineage ROM and GApps files on a microSD and put the microSD on the phone

3.2 Start the phone in recovery mode (=> go into TWRP)

3.3 In TWRP do a factory reset

3.4 In TWRP flash the Lineage ROM and, then, the GApps file

3.5 Reboot on system
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] rho-bot:
The TWRP file is named "twrp-3.3.1-0-serranoltexx.img.tar", download here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/serranoltexx/twrp-3.3.1-0-serranoltexx.img.tar.html

I9195XXUCQL2_I9195XXUCQL2.tar is the latest Bootloader & Modem file for i9195 (optional, but recommended). Update is done the same way via Odin as TWRP, and is independent from LOS or TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ghorin:
Oh you're right ! Thank you.

One more question : I've launched Odin and connected the phone via USB. In the youtube tutorial video, I see that the "ID:COM" box contains "0:[COM4]", but in my Odin that box is empty. Does it mean that my USB connection is KO between my phone and my PC ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Don't start phone in recovery mode, but download mode.

And i think stock GApps is way too large. Use nano or pico and load missing apps from playstore.

Or use f-droid and stay FOSS.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
I recommend MindTheGapps (arm, not arm64). Link in first post. With that you will

get the absolute minimum required stuff needed for a working Play Store so you can

download the apps you need. OpenGapps unfortunately tends to install too much unneeded

things that might cause stability issues.

Also while you're at it, after doing factory reset in TWRP, also format data afterwards to make

room for the encryption footer in case you later want to encrypt the data on the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Latest official for S4 mini is definitely 4,4,2, so this sounds odd. The regular S4 however got official 5.0.1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] palmiye1:
Hey arco!Can you add tr word suggestion for keyboard?:)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jules63:
I have gotten somewhere with the screen auto-brightness. I have been trying apps to fix this problem and have had good results with "Velis Auto brightness". It takes over from the system controller and seems to work well so is a potential temporary fix until this bug is fixed.

Separately, I also however have had the black screen/lock up problem recently which others have had and have no fix for that...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ghorin:
Oh sorry you're right. It's 4.4.2, I gave what I had on my other old phone (Samsung S4 Advanced).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Christobaldi:
I want to push the issue a lot of people seem to have including me on the i9195: If encryption is enabled without password/screenlock, everything works. As soon as we have encryption enabled AND set a PIN/Pattern/Password, the phone looses mobile connection soon after boot. With this behaviour, encryption is basically useless...

I'm using latest rom and modem
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] a_szilagyi:
Hi, I just installed this ROM and it works great. But I can't find "Predictive apps" in the Home settings/Drawer settings. Shouldn't it be there?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Should be fixed in next build.

It's not implemented in Lineage 16.0
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Hello folks,

I've been following this thread for a while, but was very happy with the final official LineageOS 14.0 build, so didn't feel the need to upgrade.

However, I purchased another S4 Mini refurb from AliExpress a week or so ago, which arrived this morning. I'm just about to download the latest TWRP, modem, LineageOS 16.0 build, and Mindthegapps.

My daily driver still running LOS 14.0 has been dropped so many times - the silver outer edge is completely scuffed and scratched, but the phone still performs like a champ.

I was considering trying a different device, such as the Z5 Compact, but decided to stick with the S4 Mini for a little longer. I'm looking forward to having a brand new (well, refurb) Mini running Pie!

Huge thanks to Arne for his stellar work on this device!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Is this still true for the OpenGapps pico package?

I just downloaded both and there's quite a difference in filesize:

- open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20190830.zip : 77,359 KB

- MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm-20190615_031401.zip : 122,393 KB
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jmbattle:
Okay, I installed LOS16 on the “new” S4 Mini, after flashing the latest TWRP and modem. Here are some of the things I’ve noticed so far.

- Performance feels pretty snappy, especially Browser is faster than the LOS14 S4 mini. Possibly simply because the installation is brand new

- The battery gets hot pretty quickly compared to the LOS14 S4 mini, although this could be due to using a slightly newer modem (CQL2 compared to CQAN)

- The sound distorts badly on this new phone, and the volume is not as loud. Could this be software related (LOS16 vs LOS14), or will I need to swap the speaker part?

- Icons in Trebuchet are tiny now. The new shapes are cool, but I miss the option for large icons. Will this ever be implemented?

- Hidden & Protected apps no longer allows hidden apps to be launched from this screen. That’s quite a big loss for me, as I use this feature quite a lot. I might need to consider an alternative launcher that allows this functionality.

That’s it for now. Some good and bad points with this new phone and LOS16.

VoLTE on a device from 2013? Sorry, but not going to happen.

Since the device didn't come with it on stock, there's nothing that can be done to make it work on custom roms.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jakall:
I did dirty flash and strange thing occurred: In apps I found Magisk Manager but I didnt installed this before. v7.2.0 After opening it wants to install full version omitting Play Store (it asks for permission to install from unknown sources). What's happening? Is it bundled in last version of LOS?

Once I had flashed Magisk but i purged it month ago and it was different version.

Do you see a magisk related file in system/addon.d ? Maybe it survived your purge.

Can I build it myself?

If I follow wiki.lineageos.org/devices/serranoltexx/build can I build 16.0 too?

The only options seem to be:

cm-13.0

cm-14.1

I found this github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_serranoltexx repo. Does it contain the source code and everything needed to build 16.0?

Are there any instructions how to build 16.0?

I just installed the 16.0 version and it doesn't detect the sdcard!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
You must use ARCO's sources from the first Post to build lineage OS 16.

Los 14.1 was the last official Version by ARCO.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Paspie:
Funny you should say that, I've had the screen go black occasionally even on 15.1. Given that the kernel is an EOLed version last updated in 2016, and the chipset drivers are even older proprietary garbage, not all glitches can be fixed at this point without a rewrite of said drivers for a newer kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Alienatick:
You mean that there's no way to fix this bug?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Paspie:
It's a complex job and as the hardware ages it will become even more unlikely.

Hello! Mobile data does not work on the i9190, can you fix it somehow? On the version from the date 2018.12.10 everything worked fine
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Paspie:
Maybe I should clarify - the graphics/display drivers are binary blobs, targeted at an old Linux kernel (still used) and old Android versions (long surpassed). No amount of 'improved stability' can fix them without a comprehensive rewrite, and implementing such a driver would effectively force all the other binary blobs to be rewritten as well because all of them won't run on newer Linux kernels. Without a paid team of developers it will never happen, and who wants to pay for the development of new drivers for old Android phones? You're lucky...we're lucky to have newer Android builds at all.

Tried different thinks, restore boot.IMG to make that it not comes from magisk.
