My 9195 shows as Wi-Fi security key a WPA2 & WPA3. Does anybody know if WPA3 is actually possible on the old 9195 hardware or is it depended on Android 10 software and working on the old phones?

Hi, what happened to the builds for serranoveltexx? Screwed up the install I had and I need the rom again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Where is this setting? I can't seem to find it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
For full changelog, see here: https://review.lineageos.org/q/status:merged

Also first post has links to devices sources, where you can check devices changes.

Listing every change here is just too much work.

Minimal patches are not possible, so there is no other way than releasing full builds.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
That device has different hardware, and has it's own thread and maintainer. I'm not involved with that device.

battery drain

is it just me or does this os drain battery too quickly compared to stock rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
No problem with battery drain for me on this LineageOS, nor with previous LOS and on back to CM. Stock was worse (it has been ~7 years since I dump'd that). Most of the battery issues I have had to face were hard to nail at first, but easily solved after doing some trial and error testing to determine what was causing the drain.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
Hi arco68

Not sure about link https://review.lineageos.org/q/status:merged - too many irrelevant devices.

I can see a list of all versions in mediafile.com links, to downloads available under each device type, which I used to download last 2 versions. I have all versions as they are updated.

So OK, How do I compare each, to see changes, apart from side by side comparison of each file with the zip.

I am not asking for ALL changes to be listed, just Major Fixes,

ie, Camera now working. Or None, just security patch. That's it.

So do a Dirty Flash of Update, over working previous version, via TWRP, simple update, without doing install of ALL Settings and Apps again. If it Fails, due to latest version build having issues, whilst coding the changes, we can just re-flash, back the previous working version.

Minimal effort for all.

But a few hints on changes, would reduce feedback and extra effort in restoring old.

Another method, would be to use Backup and Restore in TWRP. ie First Backup Old version, and then Flash update, if failures occur, Restore back old working version.

Keep up your GOOD WORK.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Hmm, weird. I can't see it here. Can you take a screenshot of it for me?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
No problem!

By the way:

When I deactivate the option "Power button instantly locks", it does in fact respect the setting of in my case 5 seconds.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Fabiett83:
Hi BeeJ1109,

to add more information to arco68 post, you can see all changes made by arco68 with this link:

https://review.lineageos.org/q/owner:arco68%40gmail.com+status:merged

there you can find changes mainly for Serrano (S4 mini) and Jf (S4).

BUT if the change is made by someone else it won't be listed, for example if someone change something in LineageOS/android_packages_apps_ like Gallery2, Messaging, Camera2, Contacts, DeskClock, Settings, ...

those changes are automatically synced and integrated in arco68's builds.

Compare the zip content is useless because inside there is one big "system" file,

and even decompressing this file will be useless, because all the files will be different from previous rom, as everything was recompiled from source.

This is up to Arco68, i'm happy to have the montly build with the relative security patch, and i thank him for his work and dedication,

but i agree with you that if he spent time fixing or updating something specific, writing it in the post will give him a better feedback.

i usually do a twrp backup and dirty flash the new rom over the old, never had to reinstall apps and settings or restore the backup.

in fact i never had problems going FORWARD, all the things i bricked (phones, routers, etc) was trying to flash an old version or return to stock.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] eg789123:
Maybe I missing something important here, but still can't get this to boot properly, just sits and loads forever and won't show anything after waiting forever.

Phone is a s4 mini 3g I9190

Latest TWRP

No Xposed modules

Have done clean wipe, have tried switching to another file system (tried them all).

Nothing works, last time I used was aokp (android 9)

But anything of android 10 won't work, tried all 3 listed on XDA.

Not sure if I'm missing anything important?

Don't have TWRP app or magisk installed

Should I try install those and try my luck then?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Twrp and magisk won't make things better. Can you go back to Android 9 or have you already destroyed too much?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] eg789123:
Am on Android 9 at the moment, went back to my Android nandroid backup luckily.

But really do want to be on Android 10 with the s4 mini i9190 and no rom I try works.

Keep thinking I'm missing something vital here, would love to know what else I should try to get it to work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
Which TWRP are using ? Arcos or official TWRP ?

Try Arcos TWRP and Format system ,data ,cache and Dalvik , if you have all your files in ext.Sdcard Format also data media internal Sdcard.

Where are the pictures located if I choose SD-card as storage for camera pictures? I can't find them.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] carlos974:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] hukd:
No, it's not there. Only if I choose internal storage the pictures are in /DCIM/Camera/

On sd card there are two folders in DCIM

/DCIM/100MSDCF/

Where do I find unofficial TWRP of arcos?

Will try it out
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
First post of this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Oh right! Yeah there it is. :)

Ok, I think I know what's causing the timeout bug. Will have to notify some of our devs and see if they can fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Awesome, thanks man! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] eg789123:
Tried it, still no joy, still can't upgrade to lineage17.1

Did full wipe, installed patch recommended, used TWRP in first post.

What else am I missing?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
What "patch?" If you mean boot.img, I'm pretty sure that it's no longer needed. Did you try without it?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] eg789123:
Tried with, without, tried different roms like havoc and all the other android 10 ROMs avalible for the S4 mini i9190.

Out of ideas here, nothing works, only rom that works is android 9 asop, and while it works, really want to upgrade all my 3 phones to 10.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] febi98:
Try this:

When I first tried LOS 17.1, I also had boot problems. Loading at Lineage logo forever. I changed cache partition from f2fs to ext4 and it worked.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] eg789123:
[MENTION=7620426]febi98[/MENTION] your an absolute genius,

That fixed it perfectly, thanks so much.

Do wonder why it's nessasary though,

Isn't a rom supposed to work easily with whatever file system you already have installed?

Reminds me a lot of my swift v1 that exhibited similar fixes to get it to work with crdroid.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] amk11:
Good afternoon. Please tell me on i9192 , which is better for energy saving Los 15.1 or Los 17.1. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Fabiett83:
When i upgraded from LineageOS 16 to 17.1 and had the boot problem i reformatted cache and data partition (internal storage) from f2fs to ext4, i didn't knew the problem was only cache, luckily there was not much to reinstall.

Hello, just upgraded but the WiFi is not working properly,

I can only connect to open WiFi (no password), If the WiFi is hidden or password protected it won't connect.

Please let me know if you encountered / solved a similar issue.

Thanks! ;)

I've connected to different kinds of networks, all of them work just fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] TnA.Plastic:
I have a really weird problem with my gt-i9195.

I made a Factory Reset of the device (excluding internal storage) with TWRP 3.4.0-0.

I installed the newest ROM and gapps.

I set it all up and let my apps install.

So I found 3 problems.

If you click too soon on the WiFi you want to connect to - after you entered the password - it will not connect (noticed it during Setup). Solution: Just wait for it to autoconnect and the setup to autojump to the next setup-step.

WiFi seems to be unstable (at least during Setup, couldn't test it any further). During the setup I had to retry searching for updates or my apps (etc.) for around 10 times, until it successfully worked... During installing my apps from the Playstore, everything seems to be fine though.

Now the biggest problem... When I start Chrome, my entire screen goes white or black!!!!! O.o

The Chrome-Problem really bugs the heck out of me...

I already tried deleting the cache and user-data and also re-installed it. No change...

Can anyone help me please?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Retr0=:
I noticed that problems too and some apps not run.. Browsers based in Chromium do not work use Firefox.

I want to ask something for you, can you uninstall apps?

I can't uninstall any apps including the apps installed from Play store too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
Hi Retr0,

I Have two i9195T phones, using TWRP v3.4.0-0 with LOS 17.1 and the other on LOS 16.

With Magisk 20.4 as Root.

Both ROMs are Very Stable with about 20 apps installed on each.

I have both Firefox and Brave Browsers, all working great. Just reinstalled Chrome, found blank screen and needs a reboot, cannot close app down, locks up. App starts OK, then after a minute starts to update search, blank screen. App has issues on both LOS 16 & LOS 17.1. Going to remove.

Some Google apps can not be fully deleted, as the system, requires some to fully function.

I use a app called App Backup & Restore pro v3.12 can both backup apps to ExtSDCard , and uninstall most apps. not system apps. There is another app called System App Safe Remover v4.1.1017 that can uninstall or remove every app. on the device. Needs Root access.

Provides WARNINGS on Apps that must not be Uninstalled or Removed.

Cheers

[MENTION=8209943]Retr0=[/MENTION]

Yes, I can uninstall apps (those from the PlayStore certainly)! I made a totally clean install of the ROM. ;)

Yes, I can use another browser. I want to use Chrome tho'.

Sadly it is also no alternative, because the Google-Search is affected by the same issue!!! :-|

[MENTION=6965260]BeeJ1109[/MENTION]

No, the mobile does NOT crash.

It is cought up in a high CPU-Load! If you turn the display off and on, you will see the notifications and can double-click on one and then you can close/remove chrome from the recents Tab again! ;)

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]

Bugs:

1. Chrome and Google-Search blank out the screen for some weird reason!

2. Not all settings get applied!

I set the mobile to automatically switch to "standby" (screen off), after 30 seconds, but it doesn't change a thing!

I also changed the automatic "locking" of the device, after the screen turned off and it also didn't get applied!

I hope this helps you a bit and I hope you find the cause! If I can help in any way, I will! :)

Thank you for your continued support!

Hello, thank you these two apps are really good. I hope in the next update the dev fix this issue to uninstall from the settings.

About black screen.. in LOS 16 I do not have that problem, some problems are different for each device:rolleyes:

Firefox is really slow/lag in my device. I am using the default browser of the ROM for now, I will test Brave Browser.

Using GT-I9192 the battery in LOS 17.1 is much better than LOS 16.

EDIT: I had black screen testing Brave Browse and need force restart. I think that default browser of the ROM is the best option.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Was that way for me a couple months ago, several Lineage updates ago, and especially firefox updates ago. But it's now working very nicely. Back while firefox was being problematic, I found Via Browser was pretty good on my i9195.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
Hi Retr0,

On my 3 of GT-I9195T devices, I find Charging on LOS 16 , LOS 17.1, on Stock 4.4 Not much difference, using charging measurements on Ampere Pro and GSam Battery Monitor Pro apps that provides Graphs & Logs. Charge and Discharge performance. Swapping Batteries between the 3 phones whilst comparing as well.

I found on different devices, using Either Stock or Custom ROMS. Brave Browser app did not like being moved to ExtSD cards. Leave on internal memory, Works Great, No more Black Screens.

Another benefit was It does not , use Google search, with it's hidden tracking, enabling Google to know your usage, where you are searching, what sites you are visiting. ie little better security.

Also auto blocks ADs from displaying annoying **** on your device.

Search engine DuckDuckGo, finds same info, compares with Google search, in Speed and Content available for anything, you may search for.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] TnA.Plastic:
That's all just a workaround and not actually fixing a bug (or the bugS), which is(/are) present...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
Why is Chrome the only browser you wish to use, the alternates at least work. Not really workarounds, just different applications available to display the same HTML code that Chrome does anyway.

It is your choice, but at least you have options, until arco finds and fixes the problem that Google has created.

That's my tens worth.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Well said [MENTION=6965260]BeeJ1109[/MENTION] plus, firefox has lots of great add-ons and better cookie control than Chrome.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] TnA.Plastic:
Even if I use FireFox or whatever,...

If you can not use some of the most-spread standard-apps (even an internally installed one, like Google Search) and HAVE TO use another one, that simply IS a workaround!

It IS a bug in the ROM, which you are solely working around and that is a fact!

This bug is likely to cause issues in other apps as well, hence your workaround might be useful for Chrome and Google Search, but not every incompatible app.

The only REAL solution and not a workaround, is an actual fix of the bug!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] klaus-hamburg:

but perhaps a log will help to find the cause

do you use gapps, microg, root, nothing?

otherwise you can try to flash the latest firmware and afterwards the lineage rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
Just return phone back to STOCK ROM download from Sammobile, use latest ODIN and USB cable on PC.

Will restore phone back to normal with working MODEM.

Install TWRP v3.4 Root with Magisk, using Boot.img extracted from OK Stock. Patched by Magisk 20.4. Reflash Custom ROM, after factory wipe, using TWRP. MODEM will still be STOCK on new LOS 17.1 ROM.

LOS16 and LOS 17.1 WORK Great, both very stable on my i9195T phones.

My only issue is the D/L 10 Mbps and U/L 5 Mbps speeds very slow compared to other devices that are D/L 54Mbps & U/L 19 Mbps. Need to compare my Stock 4.4 i9195T, that will be same MODEM being I9195TDVUCOE3. STOCK D/L 45-52 Mbps. U/L 18-19 Mbps. So cannot understand the great difference.

Same Device, Same Baseband or Modem, Different ROM.

Был LineageOS 16.0 с сентября 2019. Прошил 17.1 от 29.03.20. И столкнулся со следующей проблемой. Карта памяти форматировалась с ошибками. потом отформатировалась как внутренний накопитель.

Internal SIP client: cannot, because second selection only lists SIM cards

I have the i9192 with the currently latest ROM. I have to SIM cards. I have defined some VoIP accounts in the internal SIP client (cf. http://wiki.ezuce.com/display/sipXcom/Android+Integrated+SIP+Calling). I've set things up so that the dialer asks which outgoing account I want to use (which SIM or SIP). As on the LOS 15 ROM I used before, I get a selection menu with all my accounts and select the wanted SIP account.

[IMG="[screenshot first selection menu]"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5089037&stc=1&d=1598797366[/IMG]

Then, it again lists a selection menu, but now only with the two SIM accounts. Selecting a SIM then calls with that SIM instead of with the SIP*account selected in the first instance. This did not happen when using the LOS 15 ROM.

[IMG="[screenshot second selection menu]"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5089039&stc=1&d=1598797366[/IMG]

The two selection menus have a different appearance: the first follows my style (dark background), the second does not (gray background).

Is this a known issue?

Is there a spurious setting that I've missed?

Has anyone successfully used the internal SIP client? (With single or dual-SIM variants.)

P.S.: I can't seem to properly include the images…

Well, I'm going to stay with 17.1, as this is the only real issue that I've encountered. I should be able to circumvent it with a dedicated client. However, can you confirm that 16.0 does not have this behavior? That would be useful to know.

Is there a tutorial on how to do all of this? I have a Samsung S4 Mini i9190 phone and I ponder over the opening post of this thread as I literally can't fathom at how to do this...Is there a step by step tutorial? Anyone know where to point a noobie like myself to go in order to figure this stuff out? I have zero experience with jailbreaking/rooting/installing custom ROMs. However, I DESPERATELY wish to upgrade this phone from 4.4.2...I feel like I'm so close to accomplishing that by being here in this thread finally after going through SO MANY weird websites and youtube videos...yet still...I feel so far from the goal. I have to accomplish this ROM installation! I am so tired of my phone being unable to run modern apps due to its outdated 4.4.2 OS...I'm so tired of how slow the phone is...And I do not wish to get a new phone because I absolutely adore the smallness of the S4 mini<3 It's an absolute travesty that Samsung discontinued making tiny phones.
