Thank you, I'll test it tonight and let you know.

On my side I've found a kernel patch called KCAL for Advanced color control that is supposed to work on the Qualcomm 8916 ( model inside the serranovelte )

This add the ability to modify all color settings through /sys/devices/platform/kcal_ctrl.0 files

OR using an app like EX Kernel Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager

KCAL patch link is https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/dev-kcal-advanced-color-control-t3032080

The page also contains 2 youtube video that are showing what is the result of saturation color configuration on the output (which is very different effect than only modifying Red-Green-Blue components)

I've tried to go around and find some app that can modify saturation color, but as this kind of configuration is tied to the hardware, the app must handle the hardware and device has to be rooted.

I'll search further and let you know if I find other solutions.

Thank you anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Thanks for your effort.

I'll try to add this Patch in our kernel, let's see how good is this.

Will report later.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Advanced color control and saturation color

I patched the kernel. Tested on my RevengeOS rom. Works well.

Advanced color control and saturation color everything works.

I'll test on PixelExperience rom then upload the kernel.

Tomorrow I think.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
LiveDisplay works perfectly and now it is possible to calibrate to "natural colors" (like on screenshot below) just like in genuine Samsung stock ROM

I really see the difference in movies, games and pictures compared to defaut saturated flashy colors. (according to vendors, devices are selling better with saturated colors, even if the result on pictures is not natural)

The "movie color profile" is also here which is a lot better to get accurate genuine colors for camera pictures and movies.

Thank you !

It would be a great improvement to permanently add LiveDisplay starting from now.

I've seen that LiveDisplay also available for PixelExperience.

As LiveDisplay is available, KCAL color calibration patch is not needed anymore but it is up to you.

I've tested IR is working fine.

Thank you !

question

Thanks for doing this! It's my first time and I'm wondering why the TWRP file I download from the link in the OP is a MD5 file. Most of the tutorials I see are an image file so I'm not sure how to install it on my s4mini
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
Hi

I've just noticed that battery percentage is missing ( the setting in battery menu to show battery percentage in status bar )

It was present and working in lineage-16.0-j33-20190301-NIGHTLY-serranovelte.zip
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
battery percentage

It's all present

Settings > System > Status bar > Battery indicator > Battery percentage
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
Ok sorry, the location of the configuration has moved.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
TWRP

You can install this TWRP recovery.tar.md5 via Odin. Search for Samsung Odin download.

good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Or, you can extract the IMG file from the TAR file (after removing the MD5 extension). Either way should work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] wmiki75:
My method on original Samsung ROM, without PC:

1. Root with kingroot

2. Install TWRP app

3. Install recovery.img to recovery (Extract from .tar)

4. Wipe

5. Install ROM

Anyway, i better like Android 7.1 on this device, have you Nougat version one of your ROMs for i9195i?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I Don't have nougat rom. CarbonROM Oreo and everything you see here in forum.

Update for RevengeOS coming soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
In addition to my first reply saying that LiveDisplay works perfectly on your LineageOS16 build, and is a great improvement for color calibration,

I've also found that LiveDisplay is also available for PixelExperience.

https://github.com/PixelExperience/hardware_custom_interfaces/tree/pie/livedisplay/2.0

It was announced as PixelExperience additional features : https://www.xda-developers.com/pixel-experience-custom-rom-latest-updates/

It would be great to have also LiveDisplay added to the PixelExperience build.

No hurry, thank you !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hekalejan:
Cool! I finally installed it and as it's loading up for the first time it says "Just a sec..." but after a while of waiting the screen goes dark & I'm pretty sure it turned off. So I take out my battery and try again & it happens again

EDIT: okay so I took out my sim card and SD card and then it worked. I now tried turning it off and putting in the sim card and it's working so next I'll put in the SD card

EDIT 2: Alright so the problem is the SD card. When I turn on the phone with my External SD card it doesn't work =(

Also Quickpic isn't loading pictures

EDIT 3: I formatted the SD card on my computer and it seems to be working now! Quickpic wasn't working so I downloaded another Gallery app.

Other than that.. I feel like.. my S4 Mini just went super saiyan!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hekalejan:
I'm having a new issue. When I try to transfer files into the SD card via USB to computer, it only accepts a few files before it starts to flat out refuse anymore. My card is 100GB+ so I know there's plenty of room left. I don't know why it won't accept any more files. After it "disconnects" and I open the phone folder on my PC only the internal storage shows up and the SD card disappears.

EDIT 1: I am now seeing that the reason it stops is because the phone gets disconnected from the computer for some reason mid transfer. Because of this I took the card out and put the files in through my computer but then the phone won't read it anymore and it says it needs to format it. Any idea what can be causing this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
SD card 100GB+? This phone supports SD cards up to 64GB.

HI,

Something has happened with the latest PixelExperience_serranovelte-9.0-20190714-1041-UNOFFICIAL. The external memory is unavailable as no SD-card is detected. Earlier versions worked well.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
I have no issue with my SDcard using this exact same release.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hekalejan:
It accepted my 128GB card with the stock OS. Also when I transferred the data via SD card slot on my PC, the phone with this build did accept my card and was reading my files just fine until I restarted my phone and then it asked me to format the card again =(

Edit: I'm also noticing a new problem where the wallpaper gets these small horizontal lines at various spots. Any idea what's happening there?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Can you provide any screenshots?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hclkaiser:
:D :D !! Great Work !! using this for a couple of days now - didn't find anything not working :D :D

(OK, live-backgrounds can't be reached via context menu from the launcher - only through the Settings/Display/Advanced/Background-Dialog, but that might be a feature of Trebuchet or even LOS-16; in any case it would be complaining on a very high-level ;))

It's a lot smoother than Danil_e71's LOS 16.0 build https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-lineageos-16-t3851339 (where e.g. I didn't get FMRadio to work or Spotify to start), and trying to un-google one of your other builds is a pita (tried that on your RevengeOS-build before stumbling over this and failed miserably, i.e. re-replacing the gapps with something non-google proved far more complicated than anticipated: APKs for stock-Lineage/AOSP apps seem to be hard to come by - if at all - and the free alternatives - e.g. from F-Droid - are not all up to the task)

So, since this is working so nicely:

would it be possible to provide regular builds of it every couple of ... (months?/weeks?) with updated security patches (doesn't look like anything else needs to be tempered with)?

And increase it's visibilty by giving it a separate thread - so that non-Google enthusiast like me will have a higher chance of finding it?

Would be much appreciated!

Hi mernurisha

I installed your lineage-16.0-20190721-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte. I have the same issue like trying PixelExperience_serranovelte-9.0-20190714-1041-UNOFFICIAL. SD-card is absent. Being back to Danil_e71's LOS 16.0 build the SD-card is detected right. I have never had such problems with different ROMs including your earlier PixelExperience.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
​

I tested two different sd-cards (Samsung, Sandisk) without any problems. Other users do not have the problem with sd-card or even more people have it?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
I have a Sandisk 32 Go and it is working fine using PixelExperience_serranovelte-9.0-20190714-1041-UNOFFICIAL and lineage-16.0-20190721-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte

The first time I installed LOS the Sdcard was not mounted because it was not recognizing the vfat filesystem used by Samsung stock ROM. I had to format it in order to use it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JFK1975:
My external sd isnt also recognized any more.

Under trwp no problem at all but after system launch no external is to find.:confused:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
TWRP-3.3.1-0-serranovelte works excellent but the invisible SDcard issue is still on.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
If TWRP recognizes the SD card then try to format it on exFat in TWRP then see if that works.

Otherwise upload the log.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
My present sd-card is vfat. Maybe it is the problem. Tomorrow I will format it on exFat and report.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
Within TWRP-3.3.1-0-serranovelte I formatted my Kingston microSDXC 64GB UHS-I Class 10 on exFAT. Danil_e71's LOS 16.0 build detects a new filesystem and works fine on. Unfortunately your lineage-16.0-20190721-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte and PixelExperience_serranovelte-9.0-20190714-1041-UNOFFICIAL still does not see any SD-card.

I attach my logs.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JFK1975:
Unfortunately I can't even Install the new trwp Version.

It always says failed when I try.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
I did it within TWRP not Odin. Unzip recovery.tar.md5 from TWRP-3.3.1-0-serranovelte.zip. Rename it to recovery.tar and untar recovery.img from recovery.tar. Use TWRP and its install image option choosing recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Thanks for the log. The SD-Card is recognized correctly in the log. I think that is selinux problem.

Try this kernel. Flash over TWRP.

1. full wipe

2. install rom

3. wipe cache/dalvik

4. install kernel

5. wipe cache/dalvik

6. reboot system
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
I did everything exactly. Sorry. All the same. The storage option still shows this...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] fassal:
Fix for decryption lack of TWRP

Is it just me or is the TWRP version not able to decrypt the data partition? Thus it is not possible to make backups of /data. Is there any TWRP for serranovelte which supports decryption? Or could somebody provide a fix? Hopefully mernurisha? It is so much appreciated!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
Hi,

Does anybody know how to fix TWRP error “/sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh process ended with ERROR: 1”

Hi,

I have problem with WiFi, when I installed this ROM (even other ROMS from mernurisha), WiFi doesn't work form me. When I turn on Wifi, it keeps saying Finding WiFi networks and after few minutes it doesn't find any and it turns of. I tried differrent kernel, different ROMs from mernurisha and nothing, with others ROMS it works.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
On which roms does it work? Which roms do you mean Oreo, Pie, Nougat?

On all my roms wifi works. If you have hidden wifi network for Pie roms you need following

go to Wi-Fi > Add network > Enter SSID > Password > Advanced options > Hidden network > yes > save
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Martin2412:
On this last version of rom PixelExperience-20190714-1041. And it didnt even turn on wifi, I havent got hidden wifi, my other phones with original android finds a lot of wifis. This is happening when i try to turn on wifi

[MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION] is this rom (lineage-16.0-20190721-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip) different from danil_e71 ? because I want to try this rom thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Yes, different. For example, infrared beam works on mernurisha's. Other differences as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
As far as I know, IR blaster is working fine on [MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION]'s LOS 16 build, because it has been taken initialy from danil_e71's LOS 14.1 repos which he upgraded to lineage16 himself.

And IR blaster was working fine on danil_e71's LOS 14.1 repos. It has been broken since LOS 15

[MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION]'s LOS 16 build is exposing brand model as "GT-I9195I", whereas danil_e71's LOS 16 is exposing "SM-I9195I" as brand model name, the same as when you build LOS16 yourself from danil_e71's repos.

Also some files and directories differs.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
That's not true. Have made many changes in the device tree. Proprietary tree too. Especially in RevengeOS.

Only the kernel is similar with minimal changes.

Next update for lineageOS with new security patches maybe next week with new thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
Oh sorry, i was presuming.

I am still fighting on order to find out why IR Blaster and FM radio are not working when building from daniel's official LOS 16 repos.

How did you fixed IR Blaster and FM that are not working on the official LOS16 repos : https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-lineageos-16-t3851339 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] radiac1987:
I do have the same sdcard problem. One (64GB Samsung) is not working at all (not even recognized as /dev/block/mmcblk1; but working fine in TWRP) others seem to work but the storage is shown in double size. I do have a 128GB SD Card that is shown in the storage menu as 256 GB. but df- h shows 128 GB device.

I've been using this for about a month now and it's just unbelievably laggy for me. Even simple things like typing are laggy. Google maps crashes a ton. Oh well it was nice to experience the future for a bit. Thanks for your hard work on this! Meanwhile I'll switch back to the official build. Actually I just saw the Lineage one. I'll prob check that one out!

do you know SGH-i257 (AT&T Galaxy S4 mini) has volte provisioning in the CSC and ims apps? is possible to port that CSC to GT-i9195 or GT-i9195i? please let me know if you experiment

I like your rom PixelExperience, but its hard to use since 3G data is being decomissioned for LTE. can no longer place calls without volte provisioning!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
Hi

For all who has problems with no detecting SD-card on mernurisha’s ROMs. My Kingston microSDXC 64GB UHS-I Class 10 could not be detected so I bought a new one and got rid of the old flash memory. Now I have no way to check this solution but maybe someone will need this information.

Some cards are digital write protected. You can take the following method to remove it.

1. Connect your SD card to your Windows computer

2. Use cmd as administrator

3. Type “diskpart” and press Enter

4. Type “list disk” and press Enter

5. Type “select disk n” (n = your SD card’s number) and press Enter

6. Type “attributes disk clear readonly” and press Enter

7. exit

8. exit

Format SD card Protected. Now your SD card is no longer digital write-protected.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Jens_J:
Thanks for the LineagOS - works prety good for me - with one exception:

The apps Maps / Maps.me seem to forget their settings (concerning the memory access rights): After each reboot, these apps forgot, where the maps (internal memory / SD Card) should be stored in. I have to revoke the access rights from the Settings Menu and re-grant them in the app's settings again.

If you are interested in this phenomen - I wish you success :)

Hi, guys,

PixelExperience is back

Android security patch level -April 2020

Note: By default hardware buttons and buttons backlight are off.

Disable System > Buttons > Enable on-screen nav bar.

Download on the first page.

Have fun
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Thanks [MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION] for this ROM ... without Home and Recents buttons. Same problem as in LineageOS.

- 2.4Ghz Wifi does not connect but 5Ghz wifi works fine.

- Date / time in TWRP settings cannot be set correctly. I know this is not a ROM issue.

The ROM is exceptional, I will use it the next few days.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Home and Recents buttons works. As I've already written,

Disable

System > Buttons > Enable on-screen nav bar.

For the correct backup time in TWRP you have to install the latest TWRP version.

The correct backup time depends on both, TWRP und rom.

With the last TWRP version and old Lineageos the correct time does not work, and old TWRP version and new pixel rom also not.

Only last TWRP and new pixel rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
I know about Home and Recent buttons...very nice.

I didn't report that as an issue :)

About TWRP i have the last one TWRP-Q-3.3.1-0-serranovelte.tar installed.

The real problem is 2.4 Ghz wifi because in most public places 5 Ghz wifi does not exist.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I never use it. That's why I can't say anything about it.

I'll look for it when I have more time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I have just separated both frequencies 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ on my router (in two different names).

And I have connections to both.

Can others perhaps share their experiences here too?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
I think there is a hardware difference between the two devices. Yours and mine ...

Strange though is that in Android 9.0 it had no problem with 2.4 Ghz wifi.

Anyway, the ROM is very good. Thank you again [MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION] for your great work !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Hardware specifications of my device:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
I reinstalled LineageOS (PIE). With this ROM, both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz wifi work. In conclusion, there is a deficiency of the android 10 ROM (PixelExperience Plus and LineageOS). Do you have any idea what may be the cause?
