You didn't really read up on what scoped storage is and how it works, did you?

Anyway, you're free to use whatever you want, but if you expect perfection on a 7 year old phone that stopped getting updates on Android 4.4, you're in the wrong place. Let me know if you find any other similar old phones that works perfectly bug free with Lineage 17.1. I don't think you fully understand what it takes to bring an up to date Android version to such an old phone, with the resources available. None of us are getting paid to do this.

So, if you're not happy with it, stick to stock ROM, or start to do some work yourself. Gerrit is always open for contributions.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] tM&M:
Hey Arco,

Please don't take me as someone who doesn't appreciate the work that you put into the ROMs - that was not at all my intention.

If there is a way to donate to your efforts, that is also something I can and will do, as you have saved me money through keeping this phone going since 2015!

I did read the article fully and there are many changes but instead of adapting the software, the LOS team has just removed the functionality.

I may have missed something though.

My experience is 17.1 is a buggy release and that is not your fault in any way!

I have been a user of CM/LOS since 4.3 and up to 17.1, and I had nothing to say but great things.

Thank you again for all your effort.

Does the camera work usually on seranoltexx?

Mine crashes always. I did a clean flash.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
No Problem here. Didn't try latest update.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] steve8x8:
I'd like to test this ROM with NanoDroid. Any chance? I suppose TWRP install will fail due to space in /system being limited, what about the requirement stated in their README.md "Patcher works if your ROM's services.jar already contains classes.dex", may I assume that the dex file is there?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Size in system partition is no show stopper. GApps are much larger and get installed the same way. Nanodroid patcher will tell you what's good or bad with your ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
The camera works exactly same as earlier versions. On latest January update on i9195. All functions work, except panorama mode. Saves photos and videos to extsd card as selected in setup.

Good job to Arco68

Hello, acro68.

I flashed latest January update of this rom and it works flawlessly and smooth until i leaved it overnight.

I charged my i9195 to 50 % and after 14hrs (at morning) it has 12 % of battery.

Also no data in battery usage.

Clean install without gapps + magisk.

I am appreciated you added stock livedisplay setting.

Otherwise, i will stay on CrDroid 4.7.2 for moment, this rom is crazy stable.

Before flashing crdroid i will test new build of LOS 16.

It is fantastic how 7-8 y.o. phone with stable dualcore CPU updating with pretty smooth roms.

This phone is immortal and thanks for developers! (except burn-in on amoled screen)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Not-Aus:
Yes, after updating to the latest build, it works for me, too. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] steve8x8:
Apparently the full NanoDroid zip (400+MB) was too large for /system, installing it via TWRP failed.

Installation as Magisk Module succeeded (and has the advantage that the whole thing can be easily removed with reflashing). Couldn't pass SafetyNet yet, but a first step has been done (and once I've sorted out what I actually need I'll use individual packages instead of that "whale").

The answer to the "classes.dex" question seems to be "yes".
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] steve8x8:
... but I seem to be unable (unfit?) to enable Signature Spoofing on the ROM. Is this something I should be able to do myself, or do I need some prerequisites built into the ROM? (downloads.lineage.microg.org shows that the s3ve3g = S3Neo is supported, also the Sony Z3c, but those have official lineage builds. Is there a microG-enabled build for serranoltexx?)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
No, Lineage.microg.org does not build unofficial 17.1 Roms. You could ask Simon to build 15.1

Please report in nanodroid thread, if patcher doesn't work for you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] steve8x8:
@kurtn I'm sorry that I won't be able to go Googless on this (still very nice and handy) device, but apparently WearOS (or rather AndroidWear, since I'm pairing a Sony SmartWatch3 running Wear 1.5) requires more than the framework. Accidentally installing pico GApps (on 16.0) made AW search for the Google App.

I'm currentliy investigating a possible issue with 17.1 and latest 10.0 nano GApps: while the watch apparently finishes its setup, the smartphone app doesn't return from "Getting your watch details". Got to try more combos of older ROM and GApps on a spare device.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fdelente:
Hello, my question makes me feel a but stupid but I can't find any solution so...

I installed this distrib today to replace crDroid that I had been using for about 1 or 2 years without problem, except that my phone never ring (no alarms, no phone ring, no notification ding when texts arrive...) I seem to remember it was a known problem of the crDroid version I used, so I made do.

Finally fed up, I installed lineage17 to repair this problem, but it's still here! I installed by wiping data, system, boot and preload; the recovery is TWRP 3.5.0_9.0 (latest version I could find). The phone is not in airplane mode, not in Do Not Disturb mode, volume is on... and yet no rings! Can anybody give a hint? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Maybe your phone's speaker is broken or disconnected. Does any sound ever come out of it, e.g. music ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] fdelente:
Yes, music comes out (very small volume even when I push it up to the max but I hear it).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
I've been wondering about this for quite a while, thought I'd share it here:

Scrolling emoticons in Threema is reeeeeally slow with this phone. If I switch to system emoticons, it's fine again. With every other instant messenger it's fine with their default emoticons.

I intend to contact the Threema people about this, but since this problem only appears on the S4 Mini, not on my two other Lineage Phones, which are just a little bit less old, I'm wondering if it's caused by this ROM.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Could anyone here please verify if banking apps, which require a registration based on an ID (which I guess is a hardware ID), still work after installing a system backup?

I'm asking because I switched to LOS + Nanodroid, so I have a full MicroG. The last time I had this and updated the LOS version, I ran into problems. So I'll definitely make a backup this time, but losing the banking app would really be annoying.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
I have a bit of an issue with this rom:

On my last install (installed after a complete wipe) GPS suddenly stopped working. SatStat didn't show up any satellites anymore, OSMAnd and others just didn't get location anymore.

So I reinstalled it using the latest version from february. So there were no system updates. I've installed the apps I use, updated them when updates came in. Nothing special.

Today I needed GPS in OSMAnd and it didn't work anymore. Even the location service through cells (I have nanodroid installed, so it's MicroG) doesn't work anymore.

How can I debug this? How can I help finding the issue?

I'm sure it works again after a complete wipe, but I really don't have time for this right now…
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] steve8x8:
@sekret1 I don't know whether this is of any help, but I've seen such behaviour on more than one device in the past, independent of the make and ROM version.

What usually helped was stopping the processes using GPS, and restarting them (the "back kill" feature was helpful with this) - not even a restart was required.

GPS data are volatile, and a bad GPS state should never survive a full power-down of the device, so this is another resort.

You give a hint at the combined location service though - perhaps that one is the culprit?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Sorry for the noise, I've made a mistake and accidently disabled the fused location service with the debloater app from f-droid.

Everything back to normal :)

But still, thanks Steve for your reply, your last line somehow lead me to this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] karlacci:
Hi Guys!

I apologize for being a newbie, but where can I find the exact procedure to install everything (recovery, rom and root?).

Then, I read in the topic "For root, use Magisk: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk". Ok, but which one exactly?

Thanks for your patience and sorry again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Info about serranoltexx | LineageOS Wiki

If you are not sure, what magisk to use, you should try without first. And you have to decide: with or without Google apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] karlacci:
ok, to install recovery and rom is easy.

My problem is root, with this phone. Advice on how to root, after installing android 10, would be very welcome :)

And... yes, i need gapps :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Latest magisk is released AS apk only. Rename that to zip and flash it in recovery. - after investigation shows you have no workaround to avoid root

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Oldie54:
Hi,

I did a clean install with that version. Anything I tried seems to run fine so far, except initialization of the SD-card. From the start on it showed up "damaged". I tried several cards (16GB, 32GB, factory new) Tapping on it I can install the SD-card either as mobile memory or as a memory extension. I choose the latter one and wanted to format it. It starts with 20% format and after some minutes it falls into a bootloop (Lineage rolling circle) forever. I can switch it off and reboot and anything works fine again but the SD-card is in the same state again.

On another I9195 updated since July all works without problem.

Any hints?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Oldie54:
It was sellfhealing. Rebooted, and waited 5 hours and the SD-card was as accepted as it is in the other i9195.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] steve8x8:
This somehow smells of a contact issue (at the phone side)...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Oldie54:
Good idea! I flushed the slot with contact spray and it seems to work now reliably.

Hey guys! This is my first time installing lineage, never done these things before. I have an i9195. Used Odin3_v3.14.1. lineage-17.1-20210509-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip, twrp-3.5.2_9-0-serranoltexx.img.tar, and open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20210522.zip. Everything went fine until Lineage was almost done booting, then it just instantly shut down and booted to TWRP. When i reboot to system it happens all again: when lineage is almost booted it shuts down and goes to TWRP. What's wrong? Thanks!

Thanks again! Will buy a microSD... Is it worth installing 18.1 or are there more problems, it being a newer version?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] k69mueller:
Awesome ROM, many thanks to the developers!

Just to share my experience with other newbies: building for serranoltexx with own keys was a breeze once I found out what sources exactly to include in roomservice.

Having it for a good 3 weeks now on my device, all works perfectly well. SELinux is enforcing, and since I installed without root using heimdall my banking app is up and running, too.

I just ran into a miracast problem with my tablet and had to find out that miracast isn't supported anymore on android ever since version 8.0. I also tested it with the S4 Mini and as expected it doesn't work at all.

So wouldn't it be good to remove this option from this rom? Or does it happen to work and I just made a mistake?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Pico1561:
First of all let me thank you for your outstanding job. I am using your 2021-04-23--08-38-17_lineage_serranoltexx and it's fantastic , fast and stable. I've just found a minor problem a couple of days ago, trying to record a short video during a "secure identification process", regardless of the Apk ( you can easily reproduce the issue with" Messages" , trying to record a video attachment from within the apk) you only get a black screen with sounds/voices. I've already tried different OS versions , same issue.

It would be great if you could fix this problem.

Thanks again

Are you sure you have the correct model number? First, the character that follows after GT- is an upper case "i" (not the number "1") for every S4 mini I have ever known of. Second, the "7" at the end does not match any S4 mini I have ever known of. If it really is a 7, are you sure you have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini?
