Great rom so far! Only problem I have is when trying to use my sdcard to format as internal storage, it stops at 40% and shows an error (see picture), and force closes the settings app

Also, I made a logcat

Is anyone else successfully using a bluetooth hands free kit with this ROM? It can play music through my car (though I have to re-pair more often than I'd like) but doesn't pass audio from phone calls through to bluetooth - despite the car knowing that there is a call taking place.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] chrischa:
I use the bluetooth connection only for media. I got some random reboots and I need to re-pair my device most times I try to connect to my cars radio - or at least after each reboot.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OllyFunkster:
Ah, not just me then. I wonder if there is any way to diagnose the trigger for the reboots?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
Really good job, everything is working fine and LiveDisplay is usefull.

I've only noticed a performance issue, games and graphics are slower than on the genuine Samsung stock ROM under Android 4.4.4

It is shown for example using 3DMark graphic benchmark app, under "Ice Storm" basic ( 1280x720 OpenGL ES 2.0),

benchmark score is 5241 using Samsung stock Rom Android 4.4.4 but only 4450 using the LineageOS roms (higher score is better)

I don't know why it is slower under LineageOS,

maybe because this is a "userdebug" build

or because kernel is compiled using ARCH=ARM and not ARCH=ARM64 ( and the CPU chip is 64 bits ).

I don't know if building a 64 bits kernel could help speeding up things.

S4 mini GT-I9195I stuck after installing this lineage zip file

I have installed this

lineage-16.0-20190922-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip via

TWRP 3.3.1, which I installed with heimdall.

And the installation process looked smooth and straight forward.

On Boot however the phone gets stuck in a loop showing

a little ball getting bigger and then smaller in a small arc from right to left.

the colour is cyan

then after a while the screen dims and only the arc is left to see.

Do you know this behaviour? What can I do to solve that?

I am only running only linux - is there a heimdall package I could use for installing the original firmware - Android 4.4.4?

OK - I know now howto boot into TWRP - and flashed PixelExperience - which works!!

Cheers

Hi,

Sd card is not visible. Card itself is ok, it is working fine but not with lineage 16.

Also nfc is dead.

Could it be fixed?

Otherwise would be excellent os....

Issues with external SD card

Since I came directly from Kitkat 4.4.4 to lineage 16.0 I don`t know if the problem is a general one.

So far I am quite happy with this ROM. There are however strange problems/bugs going on.

- formatting the external SD within lineage will hang and render the SD useless

- formatting the SD to ext4 and then placing it back seems to work - creating a directory works. copying a file to the external SD however does not. It will leave a 0-Byte file entry. Thats it.

- after logging in with SimpleSSHD the rights to see files seems to be revoked. I had made some photos with camera and wanted to copy them via ssh. But /storage/emulated was not accessible any more and the camera itself was unable to open made pictures.

Can someone bring some light into those issues?

Thanks in advance

Miso
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Did you flash addonsu-16.0-arm-signed.zip and set Root access for Apps in Developer options? If not, addon is here:

https://download.lineageos.org/extras

After that, you have to grant root access individually (one at a time) to each app you need root for. I guess this is all part of current high security standards? Should be okay after successfully gaining root for each app.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Android Beam file transfer working now. SD card as an internal memory maybe too (works on my old 8GB SD card).

I have to test other things.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] misotauros:
Thanks - but still no luck.

Thanks for your insights, MrGoodtunes!

While su is great to have the possibility of having root for finding out what's actually going on, it only applies to apps which actually ask to get root permissions. So formatting the external SD should have worked out of the box and does not even ask for root (maybe its already running as root) - still hangs at 20% and will freeze the system after some time.

Lots of file managers do not ask for root permissions either. Is there a way to explicitly grant specific apps root permission?

While others are not able to see their SD card - I do see it - BUT if you tried to format it with this ROM it won't be detected.

Its a bummer not being able to use the external SD card because of permission restrictions :/

Please help!

Regards

Thank you very much!

I don't have your latest version installed yet, but i will do soon. (mine is "lineage-16.0-20190922-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte")

My question: How does the notification light work? Nothing blinks on my phone. Am i setting up this wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
No, it still isnt working . As there is no nfc at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OllyFunkster:
Still getting occasional reboots but now it doesn't seem to need to be re-paired to my car and headphones all the time. Bluetooth call works, audio quality maybe a bit poor but that might be a limitation of the hardware?

Out of idle curiosity, what was the bluetooth fix? Seems like my bt MAC address changed?

Thank you!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OllyFunkster:
NFC does *something* on mine - the menu/back buttons light up if I put a contactless bank card on the back. I have no other NFC applications so can't provide any other data, but perhaps you could try this test to see if maybe you have e.g. faulty NFC antenna in your battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
When I restore stock samsung firmware from backup nfc works ideally. So this is not hardware problem.

And no reaction at all if I put to the back any of nfc communicating cards on lineage
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
The lineage-16.0-20190922-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte version was fixed for „echoing” and „call volume”, excellent. In my opinion the latest lineage-16.0-20191021-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte version has the „call volume” lowered. I set it for full and the voice is still not loud enough.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I've tested the NFC file transfer with android beam on two smartphones back to back In the last build, and it works. But not with a bank card.

Did you test the NFC with an installed NFC app on your smartphone?

Have made a few minor changes and with the app of NFC Tools I can read my bank card now.

I had minor changes in the build.prop from last build. Maybe that was the problem with low call volume.

Although I did not notice a big difference. Nevertheless I will go back to the previous settings in the next build ( with NFC fix).

Update is coming soon
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Yes, I did. No reaction. Also nfc checkers see hardware nfc module but any program which use nfc doesnt work.

Android beam working isnt proof as it uses bluetooth when no nfc avalable.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
As I said, have made some changes and with NFC Tools I can now read my bank card (Android Beam and Bluetooth are off).

Update is coming
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Would be cool. Tnkx!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hekalejan:
2 questions. When you install an update do you have to reinstall everything again? like all your apps and settings?

Also, is there any way to make the phone accept memory cards bigger than 64gb??? It used to work with the original OS and now with this build, it doesn't. Only 64gb or lower
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
no

Hi!

Still no nfc.

And still wanna to format my samsung evo 64gb sd card which wokks perfectly but not with this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hekalejan:
So we do have to wipe everything even if we have an older build of your rom? or are you just talking about wiping the original OS? Will the full wipe erase all my apps and settings?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OllyFunkster:
I have been "dirty flashing" updates, and it keeps all your apps and settings. It is unsupported (by mernurisha who very kindly maintains this rom at no cost to us so fine), and at your own risk, but generally I accept that risk. YMMV etc. If you want any bug reports etc. to be taken seriously, it needs to be on an install that was done with a full wipe.

At some point I'd like to set up a full backup-apps-and-data kind of system so I could do a full wipe and then put all the apps back, but it does sound like a bit of a faff:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
When I took the source for my roms from here Galaxy-MSM8916, there were some bugs. So far I've changed a lot to fix the bugs. And it goes even further because the user behavior of everyone is different. Through your feedback I try to correct them (if I have enough time). Thereby my source changes constantly.

Therefore I can only advise you to make fresh installation only. But it's up to you.

I have never had reboots with any rom. And also no SD card problems (use max. 64GB cards, I don't have bigger ones).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Thank you [MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION] for your work. I changed to your ROM from Danil_e71 build for a few days.

- Battery consumption is huge.

- Does not recognize external USB devices. ... at rest it seems ok.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
How can I test myself that the external USB device is not recognized? Or do you have a log?

I'll look into that with huge Battery consumption. I use the pixelrom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Thanks for the reply. I have attached the logs ... if it helps.

The USB flash drive I use is recognized in TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JFK1975:
My external sd is also recognized by Twrp but nor by Pixel or this lineage Version. The rest works perfectly thx for your great archievment.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
- The „call volume” is low. I set it to maximum and the EarSpeaker is still not fairly loud.

- Some icons do not appear on the Status Bar. For example it would be nice to have Bluetooth Icon shown on when Bluetooth is switched on.

- I can receive data by NFC but can not send it to the same smartphone.

Is this a normal behavior? (i've had Nokia N8 before)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] sabotage154:
are you referring to the hardware LED notification? if so it appears like the s4 mini DOES NOT come with a hardware LED indicator. i believe thats the case on the i9190 variant on the s4 mini. not sure about the i9195i. i installed this and it adds a blinking notification light on the screen itself, it looks identical to the hardware notification light and you can move it around the screen, change the color..ect..ect to whatever you want i believe: https://www.apkhere.com/down/com.ledblinker.pro_6.4.4_paid

No app or system crashes.
