My mistake - it is the letter "I." But the model number is indeed GT-I9197. After doing a little digging, apparently this is a relatively rare Australian model. Here is a link to the original firmware: https://galaxyfirmware.com/model/GT-I9197/OPS/I9197XXUCNG1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] steve8x8:
To my surprise, I found the i9197 mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4_Mini - it seems to be similar to the i9195 (both have LTE) but without NFC (of the whole series, only the i9195 has NFC). I couldn't find a hint at a specific codename, but it should start with "serranolte" ...

Android 10 Lineage 17.1 works very well on my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini I9195. Thank you for all your good work. Is there any way that you can offer a proper camera shutter sound for the camera app as the current computerised ping is not for me. On the shutter sound option there is only "Enable and Disable". Would it be possible to add a standard camera shutter sound option?

After broken replaced Chinese screen I took S4 (old phone from my mother), but troubles get worse (with latest LOS)... I got the A52s now and I'm impressed about latest technology, but it's big and heavy... 🥴

Take care of you small S4mini, no alternative except ...🍎mini, but double in price 💲

Thnx [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] for ur hard work but this rom still need some maintaining cuz sometimes the phone get freeze
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ElLibertador:
After one day of testing I realized there are some lags and it quite often freezes under load. Functionally, everything was working though.

I downgraded to LOS 16, which runs smoother.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ala Ghanmi:
Same here but IDK what rom I'm gonna install again :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Remi_FR:
I also have some freeze (on 9195 with pico open gapps, sd card as storage)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ala Ghanmi:
It's a problem within the ROM we should until [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] release another update
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
Does anyone have problems with chrome

for me when opening chrome causing white screen and than freeze
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] zorzibaffo:
I do not use Chrome. Did you try other browsers ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
just Wana confirm that this issue is on my side or other user also having this

So that I post logs here related to this issue

Firefox works fine

Also kiwi browser

but Vivaldi browser got same issue like chrome
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] zorzibaffo:
And what about LineageOS default browser ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Arslan140:
default browser works I don't test too much because I don't use default one but for basic testing it's fine

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ala Ghanmi:
Well thnx for sharing this info I'll try it later
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Rhino42:
Thx [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] for this awesome Rom! So far I dont experience lags whatsoever. Perhaps because I only use it without sim and mobile data.

I got one question. This Rom doesnt support signature spoofing. Would it be possible for you to add that so we can use it with microg? I dont want to use smali patcher, as it has some suspicios behavoiur of connecting to random ips, so i cant patch the rom for sigspoofing myself. And the nanodroid patcher doesnt yet support Android 10. Thats the only thing missing for me.

But anyways thx for your efforts!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MDS_S4:
Thanks for your effort [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]. I'll stick to Lineage 16 because is running smoothly for me and, based on previous comments, due to some bugs on the 17 version. I'll just wait for a couple more releases (and comments). Just wanted to say 'thank you' though.

P.S.: Dark mode is important to me in Gmail, but I accomplish this with EdXposed.

For WhatsApp I just edited an xml file in its configuration path (my phone is rooted with Magisk).

The only missing dark mode (comparing with the 17 version) is in the apps list (when you slide from bottom to top).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ala Ghanmi:
Well after installing those in my GT-I9195 it's look better than the last time but the ROM have a problem with all the browsers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
I'm using Firefox v68.5.0 (with 3 addons: uBlock Origin, Dark Background and Light Text, and Dark Firefox Mobile). Having no problem. Was previously using Via Browser with small problems, but that was before Firefox became available for Android 10.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Ala Ghanmi:
Okay I'm gonna try it

Well still the same I installed it now and still lagging
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
For some sites, mine seems a little bit slower than previous LOS or older CM roms. I still use my favorite old Firefox v44 on CM-13 (AOKP Marshmallow) for 2 of my S4mini's, and it is actually quicker than newest.

Thanks so much for the Android 10 update [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]! I'm happy to see you are still keeping the S4 Mini alive and updated, I'll wait until it gets root built-in before testing though.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] borg17a:
Thank you for that great ROM that keeps our beloved S4 Mini usable.

There's one thing that prevents me from giving it to my parents for daily use: After a fresh start (f.e. when It shut down because of low battery) there's no mobile network connection. After a restart it works again.

if you see also the previous releases, there are always some months that pass between one and the other, I think because now is giving more importance to the release 11

android 11 is heavier and then it works badly with the management of files and media, especially with folders with many files, which on 10 and 9 does not happen.

Hi everybody

I flashed my phone I9192 s4 mini with this rom and noticed the absence of the Mobile Network; yet there is indeed a sim in place.

how to solve the problem please !!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] miccca:
@xpstarok2 try with a other SIM card first, you never know
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] xpstarok2:
Yes !! i tried but same thing. i think its somethting like efs missing or not installed ..

i tried other roms ResurrectionRemix RR-N-v5.8.5-20180209-serranodsdd it"s work fine. the problem is only with this Rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] miccca:
@xpstarok2 make a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) and reinstall again
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] xpstarok2:
i did it several times . nothing changed .

Why there is No Mobile Network ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] miccca:
try this settings-mobile data-network operators. Here you set it to manual so that it starts searching. Select another provider, and then switch back to your provider

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] s4mini_dummy:
Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie with android dev but due to the latest changes in various apps I was forced to get to the dark side of my good old GT-i9195i. I wanted to upgrade it from the stock 4.4 kitkat to whatever higher android version is possible. Because of the TWRP available for the phone I went for lOS 17. But I got lost half way and my phone won't boot correctly anymore (please bear with me if I'm using incorrect terms).

What did I do:

- flashed it with TWRP 3.0.2-0 serranoveltexx via Odin

- made a couple of backups and stored them on my PC, deleted them from the phone due to storage issues (no SD card)

- copied lOS from this thread on the phone: used windows explorer and just moved it to the "phone" folder which usually opens with my pictures and documents when connecting via USB (I was assuming that's usually meant by "internal storage")

- Advanced wipe in TWRP with Dalvik, System, Data and Cache ticked on

- wanted to install in TWRP but can't find the lOS 17 zip anywhere

Now I am stuck. No ROM on my phone anymore to figure out where I have stored the zip. I've tried adb but it doesn't recognise the phone (Odin still does)

I can still access TWRP and browse through the file manager but I must say I do not even know where to search for the zip. I was now trying to find out how to reinstall custom rom from my backups but wasn't successfull either.

Can anyone help me in any direction? Either back to stock or towards lineageOS 17.

Please use easy words - I'm a mechanical engineer and usually use a sledgehammer to fix things.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] miccca:
@s4mini_dummy I think you took the wrong one, your smartphone is GT-i9195i (seranovelte) and not GT-i9195 (serranoveltexx) without i behind it .​

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
New builds with March security fixes available.

The issues with bluetooth audio seems to have been caused by the mpdecision daemon. This daemon is responsible for hotplugging the cores, which means that when there is no load on the device, it will take all cores offline apart from one, in order to save battery. When this hotplugging takes place, it seems to cause lags in the system, which in turn causes glitches with bluetooth. In this build I've disabled this daemon, so no hotplugging will take place. Since there's only 2 cores, it should hopefully not impact the battery usage too much. Also the device should perform a bit smoother since both cores are immediately available.

Restored backup will not boot

Many thanks, improved performance. But I'm still getting endless bootloops after restoring a TWRP backup image.

I've tried clean flash (wipe dalvik, cache, data, system) and I've tried dirty. I've tried with and without gapps. I've tried with TWRP v3.3.1-0, all 3 steps (install, backup, restore). And I've tried with [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] provided TWRP v3.2.3-0 for all 3 steps. Have been getting same bootloops result since the first 17.1 through and including 17.1-20200309.

Has somebody been able to boot a restored TWRP backup? Am I missing something that is required?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
In my definition a bootloop is boot process that repeatedly stops before it finishes, then starts again from Samsung logo.

What I see is the lineageOS boot animation for 15 minutes now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
If restoring 16.0 backups is working fine, then most likely TWRP don't support system as root which is used in 17.1

Support for it has to be implemented in TWRP, but I don't know what the status for that is. As I understand the developer has stopped working on it for the moment.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Confirmed. Backup of 16.0 can be restored with twrp serranoltexx from OP.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] carlos974:
FYI!

On Galaxy Mega (meliusltexx), same platform as S4 mini (msm8930), the restoration of Android 10 works very well. Since Oreo Silesh has not changed TWRP, its version is 3.2.1.1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Thanks, tried TWRP v3.2.1-1 for serranoltexx; got the same endless LOS boot animation. The only joy is turning phone upside-down (arc becomes a smile, with tongue licking lips). If that version of TWRP will restore an Android 10 backup that boots on Mega, then there must be something very special about the ROMs structure and/or Mega's TWRP version.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] carlos974:
OK, thanks !

For our TWRP the dev has to adapt it from Oreo because for the Mega the TWRP version stops at version 2.8.7.0 at TeamWin-TWRP

Regarding the roms for Mega the dev built lineageos 17.1 and crDroid 10.0 :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
The issue seems to be related to selinux. In Android 10, probably because of system-as-root, the root folder (/) seems to not be labeled correcly after restore of backup. It should be labeled as "rootfs", but for some reason it's labeled "unlabeled" after restore. This causes boot issues when running selinux enforced. I'm guessing the Mega is running selinux permissive, thus it boots fine there.

I'm looking into if there's a fix or workaround for this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jaroslav.100:
SELInux permissive patch (it works) !

Arnie can build it into your builds !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Selinux permissive is listed under "not working" if a ROM has it. I strongly suggests to bring your setup in a shape, that works with selinux enforcing.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Jaroslav.100:
Yes, this patch completely disables SELInux .

It is possible that recovery from backup will work now....

We need to check..

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

Previously, Kit-Kat-4 android did not have any SELInux and everything worked perfectly!

Now Google has imposed its own security rules ...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
SELinux is a set of kernel modifications and user-space tools in Linux. More from NSA than Google.

I'm not willing to trade selinux for system backups.

Yes our Mega is running selinux permissive !
