This may be due to Google being so data hungry, making it difficult (impossible?) to remove a contact. I have had trouble even with Windows desktop, trying to delete or fix duplicate contacts. Google bot seems to prefer grouping them together under a first and last name, rather than delete any.

Edit - Found success by going to contacts at Google Dashboard on PC. Clean'd up all gmail contacts and deleted phone contacts, which Google apparently took (without permission) from a VCF file on portable SD card, probably during set up of Pixel Experience Plus earlier this week on one of my other S4 minis).

Hi, please, does it NFC works?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
For me not. Maybe some others are more lucky
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xxStingrayxx:
Any idea how to fix ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
No. Looks like rom dosnt see nfc hardware at all. Not this rom only but any lineage and based on it. I had been sending logs to los 14.1 developer but no luck.

This rom developer as well could do nothing, nfc is dead though works like magic on official firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
I just have answered question, no claims to you. Vice versa thanks for your job.

I guess there are different hardware versions of nfc module, that could be a reason.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xxStingrayxx:
I use NFC Card Emulator pro (Root) for simulating my school card for opening doors. I can read and save the card, but when I want simulate card for opening door, nothing happens. So I appreciate your work and thanks, this rom is great.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Then your nfc is fine. It could be app problem. Or more likely the passcard can not be simulated, not every card can be.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xxStingrayxx:
On the Lg G3 (d855) works fine. But I must change motherboard. So now I use I9195I.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Thank you [MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION] for the last build. It works great. Just a litlle bug...when I restart the device while it is charging it just stops ... instead of rebooting.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
I have tryed dirty install of the last build 20200201 on the top of walter79's LineageOS 7.1.2 from here http://buildyourownandroid.selfhost.eu/smartphone/daily-builds/?C=M;O=D .

Everything seems working fine, besides NFC, even no problen with SD card though after clean flash it did not work
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Make a clean install. The last build should work. It works perfectly for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
I have wrote above that even dirty flash works fine. After clean flash no sd card visible.

And my nfc never works on custom roms as I guess I have differing nfc hardware on my phone
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
My NFC sensor is pn547 and it works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
My is the same but works on stock rom only
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
GPS is dead on this rom as well
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
GPS works very well. Are you sure your device is i9195i?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Absolutely. S4 mini plus value edition I9195I bought in Germany summer 2015.

And I install properly, with all wipes.

And there is no problem with hardware as on stock rom everything works and gps works well on los 7.1.2.

On previous builds of Los 16 sd card was not assessible, now it works therefore it was not sd card problem as everyone was advising me here before. On los 17 it is still not visible.

It seems smth in the rom missing what is needed to cover different hardware revisions of this device. I guess there are different revisions on different lots inspite of same model name.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
I now have four S4mini's. They all behave a little differently from each other, inspite of my efforts to make at least 2 of them be identical (same model, same OS, same apps, and settings; but not exact same results).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Thank you for confirmation. Means my guess is true...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] misotauros:
I can confirm this - I have bought exactly the same Device - Aldi Süd, right?

So the SD-Card is working now?

Cheers

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
sdcard on LOS17 is now working

at least as non-adopted storage

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
hello mernurisha is a new security patch (february) in the making for this rom?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Good day everybody,

I had my first (succesful) TWRP-flash today and now wanted to install LOS from this thread. But something didn´t work and since I can´t post a screenshot (because I´m quiet new here) I write down what appeared on the screen:

Before the installation I made a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik).

Now, what can I do? Thank you for help in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
This error usually means the ZIP file does not match the device. Are you sure you ZIP is complete and not corrupt? Did its MD5 sum and file size check okay? Also, is your device S4 Mini Value Edition, model GT-i9195i for sure?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
What twrp v!rsion did you use? It must be 3.2...... Or better 3.3......

And of course you device must be i9195i

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Hi together,

yes, it´s definitely GT-I9195I. Originally I used the wrong TWRP-file for serranolte. It was not until I used the right one from the TeamWin-site the flash worked flawlessly.

But: it is a very old one (twrp-3.0.2-0-serranoveltexx.img.tar from 2016-04-05) and I´m gonna repeat the flash with the one from the site, Nokono recommended.

I will also check the lineage-file.

Thank you for the moment - I´ll be back!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
You can flash new twrp as a img file from old twrp.

Press install, then press img, choose new twrp img and flash as a recovery (not boot!), then reboot in recovery. Done.

If you have downloaded twrp in tar or zip format then just extract img from it with any archiver.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Problem solved. It was the very old TWRP. Everything worked flawlessly with the new version!

Thank you again!!!

:highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Hmm, there appears "Warranty bit set: kernel" in yellow on the bootscreen top left. And the phone crashes when I try to activate the encryption via LOS´s settings. It switches off, starts to the bootscreen, switches off and so on. Only "Format Data" and a reinstall helps to get out of this. Sometimes I had to remove the battery to start any mode at all.

Without encryption I can boot TWRP with "Warranty bit set: recovery" in yellow on the bootscreen top left.

I can boot into download mode without yellow messages.

I can boot LOS with "Warranty bit set: kernel" in yellow on the bootscreen top left.

So, all modes work when I keep my fingers off the encryption, but partly with the yellow messages.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
All my S4 minis behave this way, except for 1 which inexplicably stopped showing the yellow Warrenty bit... 1~2 years ago.

When you format /data partition, my understanding is that a "footer" is created having something to do with encryption; that is, if your build of TWRP has this feature. (I have no need nor desire to encrypt any of my S4minis. I now have 4 of them!)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Hmm, it rather seems to me like a Samsung-mark that snitches by indicating that something has been changed with recovery and/or system and that prevents encryption. I think it´s about warranty when flashing a Samsung device...!?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OllyFunkster:
mernurisha, is there any chance you can tell me how it is that this build has "Night Light" (which works really well with good colour reproduction in night mode) rather than Lineage's usual LiveDisplay (which has two colour sliders and hilariously bad colour in low temperature modes)? I'm trying to figure out if Night Light can be enabled on a different device :)

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Okay, I could get some more informations and it is indeed a Samsung (KNOX)-Mark with which you lose your warranty if you trigger it by flashing a device. It´s also a very old and well-known issue, obviously without any solutions.

Now it´s somehow weird that we have two S7´s with TWRP and LOS16 UNOFFICIAL and they show no yellow messages and have no problems with encryption...?!:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Found a handbook. With stockROM the GT-I9195I is able to encrypt internal storage and SD-card.

Can anybody confirm that the device with LOS16 crashes (and stucks in bootloop) when trying to encrypt the internal storage?

It´s not really a problem for me. I just want to be sure if it´s my device or a general issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
I can confirm. My phone is behaving like yours. After encrypting the phone, when I restart the device it remains in bootloop.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Okay, thank you very much for this information!!!:good:

call recording

Hello people,

i am really happy with this rom! Thank you! Unfortunately there is no native call recording which is quite important

for me.

Does anybody know a way how to get it working?

Btw: Musicplayer does nor save playlists after reboot
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
U can use some external recorder app, for example Auto Call Recorder
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Once you have established a telephone connection, after the correspondent has answered, "Record call" appears in the Phone app interface.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] appetitefordestruction:
Thanks, but it`s not working for me! Nothing appears in the phone app after connection:confused:

I did a clean install again without gapps etc. Still does not work!

And Yes, does not appear even if another person is connected
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Call recording is illegal in some countries, and LineageOS tries to obey by using location:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/dyiicr/lineageos_native_call_recording_now_enabled_or/
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Then use Total recall from Google play. Best app for call recording.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.killermobile.totalrecall&hl=en_US&referr

or use a Mock location app from Fdroid
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gundheri:
Just to be sure: this ROM is not being continued anymore?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Could you please continue to develop this rom?

It is excellent.

A lot of people are happy with this rom. And LOS 17.1 as well.

Please, do not abandon them.

Thank you for your job. Hoping to see new releases. Pleeeaaase!!!

To my knowledge the hardware of the s4 mini only support gps and glonass ... so it is not a qustion of the ROM ...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] roohooo:
Thanks, Chris56. However, I have found several sources where the specs given for the I9195I include Beidou, whereas those for the I9195 do not. The I9195I comes with a newer generation CPU, so that might be a point.

Do you own a I9195I yourself and would check it for me? If not, it would be much appreciated if someone would share their first-hand experience with that matter.

You may also notice that the I9195I is stated to support LTE Cat4 with a higher D/L rate and somewhat longer talk & standby times, if that's of importance.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] fbahr:
Works... not like a charm, but __way__ better than expected.

Managed to flash my 2015 GT-i9195i (S4 mini Plus/VE) using [TWRP 3.3.1-0][SERRANOVELTE GT-I9195I], your ROM, & Open GApps Pico ...broadly following the instructions provided here (in German language, for the GT-i9195 edition).

In my case, out of the box, most things just worked fine (WLAN, mobile data, GPS, etc.) ...still having some issues w/ data on external storage/SD card (as Gallery app won't effectively delete images stored on SD card, Music app won't play audio files if not stored in internal memory, etc.) -- but overall: a way better experience than I ever imagined.

WhatsApp, Google Maps installed from Google Play Store also do their job... hence, at least as far as I can tell for now: great job. Thanks!

Hi,

I just got a "new" I9195I and wanted to flash lineage-16.0-20200421-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip using TWRP-Q-3.3.1-0-serranovelte and adb sideload. The sideload finishes fine, but then I get the following error messages on the phone:

E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed

This is repeated two times, then the phone automatically reboots and I'm back to Stock ROM 4.4.4.

I re-downloaded the ROM from the link given in the first post. I also tried to install it from an SDCARD, but that did not work either.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

r.

Problem solved:

I had made the mistake to not properly boot into TWRP after flashing it, so I was stuck with the stock recovery (which I did not realize because I thought it would be a different appearance TWRP). So the solution was to re-flash TWRP, take the battery out and put it back in, boot to recovery and here we go ;)

I've been using the ROM for 10 days now and have to say that it is working pretty nicely. There are a few minor glitches but these are tolerable for me and can be solved by restarting the phone (sometimes not able to get GPS fix although 32 satellites are available, sometimes clock widget not loading).

Hi there!

At first, also from my side a BIG thanks for this great ROM to [MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION]. :good:

Here follows now a somewhat more

general technical question

regarding the development of this (and the other) LineageOS ROM.

What is the effective reason why almost no Qualcomm Snapdragon Adreno based LineageOS build is using the open-source freedreno drivers instead of the proprietary ones?

I know that the performance & power saving capabilities of the alternative freedreno driver were originally horrible. However, over the years they get better and better. As of 2020 it can be said that the freedreno drivers were dramatically improved in many regards.

Probably it's just not possible to use the latest freedreno MESA drivers because of the old Linux kernel (like version 3.10 in this build). And because a kernel upgrade is not an option (this will break many other proprietary blobs) nobody is doing / trying this. ;)

Regards

lorn10
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] cristihan:
Maybe you can find some answers here :

https://www.replicant.us/
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] lorn10:
Thanks [MENTION=7783831]cristihan[/MENTION] for the link.

Well, I found a better source and it is exactly as supposed. The kernel version is the effective problem, - these are

far

too old. It seems that reliable (practical usable) Adreno Snapdragon support (regarding the older SoC generation) was not present before kernel 4.21. That was improved in kernel 5.0 and Mesa 19.0.

However, the final Adreno A2xx & A3xx breakthrough came with Kernel 5.4 and Mesa 19.3. Since this stage it can be said that the Mesa drivers are outperforming the proprietary blobs. ;)

For example, they have:

- full OpenGL ES 2.0 HW acceleration (A2xx)

- full OpenGL ES 3.0 and OpenGL 3.1 HW acceleration (A3xx)

- HW video decode works correctly with recent kernel, Mesa, and Gstreamer

Hi,

I like your LOS 16 ROM! :)

However, installing the addonsu-16.0-arm-signed.zip (with twrp 3.4.0) does not allow me to set root permissions. Only "deactivated" and "only ADB" is selectable. I tried it both, directly after installing gapps and after setting up the smartphone.
