I don't think that an encrypted phone will help in this version, about the battery I notice that when the phone is used with mobile data got a fast draining, it warm the phone also, if you use your sd card as internal storage it warm the phone, I supposed that is for the constant change of information between the phone and the sd card or maybe for the sd card type.

I use the sd card as external and prefer to use WiFi than mobile data to extend the battery life, remember that is a 1900 mAh battery, this rom works very well but this is an old phone so try to take care of the use to avoid issues, this rom works fine for me and I think it's the best for this device for now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] oliv4:
Thanks for the reply. I actually tested with Wifi and mobile network deactivated, with the same result. I will try without the SD card when I get a chance.

Hi. Thanks Arco for your work.

The rom works well for me without blockages or strange behaviors and I use it normally every day.

I have the same problem as everyone with chrome, and I noticed the slowness of the gps to hook the signal.

Today I noticed that despite having 600mb free I cannot update watzhapp (18mb) !! Anyone know why, is it a bug of the rom?

Thanks

Lagging GPS fix

For some time now the GPS fix has been going very slowly. It often takes several minutes until the fix is complete:

Any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Buy a newer device
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Mehdi T:
this rom is very good but sometimes the wifi stops working and can't connect or find any wifies, even if i reboot the phone, clear cache, dalvik cache. and the phone becomes slow.

the only way to get wifi working is to do a factory reset.

this problem occurs also after when the blank page happens when using opera.

i appreciate the work, hope that this problem will be fixed.

thanks.

PS: im using the 20200416 build.

I've got the same issue, but I think with the last Version is it more worse.

Some it help to calibrate the sensors.

Rotate your phone if GPS on 3 times on every axis.

The last time were done it I've got after 1 minute a fix.

If your phone rooted with Magisk than you can install the module GPS fix.

Hi everyone!

Im having a problem with all builds ive tried so far of lineage, MMS wont work, tried changing APN without results.

A smaller thing thats causing a little issue is internet ( LTE ) failing from time to time.

Last year i used this rom: cm-13.0-20161221-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3Y6-serranoltexx where there was no problem with above problems.

im using the I9195 version of s4 mini.

Anyone can help me out with this?

Regards Val

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
LOS 17 install only the ROM and didn't touch Bootloader or Modem.

You have to install it with Odin in the Download Mode.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] bierma32:
I your case, backup your Apps with Titanium Backup or other App.

Charge your Battery to 100%

Flash Modem a second time.

Boot into TWRP and try a clean install ( wipe system,Data cache and Dalvik )

Flash ROM , now try it mobile Data and MMS working.

Next factory Reset and install your preferred Gapps. ( BitGapps Version )

Check Mobile Data and MMS

Restore your Apk.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
Hi arco68

I am having issues on your LOS 16 ROM, writing to exSD card in my I9195T.

I have tried several changes in system\etc\permissions\platform.xml to add read & write_external_storage permissions that have been removed. Changed parameters to 644.

Write access on some apps via Root access, works. But not on AppMgr III. that moves apps from internal to SD, needed to free up the limited 8GB memory on these S4 mini devices.

SD card is Fat32, being only 32GB. Setup as Portable, not internal. Worked perfectly on Stock 4.4.2 with added <group gid=media_rw" /> line to write_external_storage permission settings in platform.xml.

Question:- Have you fixed the R/W access problem on your new LOS 17.1 ROM.

Cheers

Google changed how apps can access external storage several Android versions ago, and has since then

been constantly tightening the security on what apps can do on it. Afaik apps needs to be updated to

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BeeJ1109:
Thanks for your reply.

I read thru the info, provided by your links. Good explanations.

But

My S4 Tab SM-T835 and S8 SM-G950F phones are both on android 9.0 stock, work perfectly, allowing R/W access to EXTSD card. 128GB format as exfat. Originally Oreo when originally purchased. Worked also.

Developer options settings, "Force allow apps on external" to Allow write access to SD card.

Both these devices are not rooted either.

But LOS custom ROM, with similar developer settings, not working, with same app installed on all devices. Rooted with Magisk. I also allowed root access to this app, didn't help either.

So maybe Stock vs Custom ROM handle write access differently.

Another Difference may be between exfat vs fat32 format on ExtSD cards.

The app is AppMgr III pro v5.02 by Sam Lu described as (App 2 SD, hide and freeze apps), I've been using for 8 years or so. Google are changing things, but Samsung Stock on most Android versions work above 4.4 thru to 9.0. Interesting that some custom ROM have issues.

I've just tested it with the latest build and it works, so the links to TWRP on the first page can probably be upgraded to official ones :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jason972000:
I just tested the 3.4.0.0 version for serranolteusc and it doesn't fix the problem.

Old backup from 3.3.1.0 got stuck on boot animation on a restore, just like before, needed the fix rootfs patch..

Fresh backup from 3.4.0.0 actually had a kernel boot loop, again, needed the fix rootfs patch after restore.

Another issue I've noticed, and I think previous versions too, that if you try in to use "image install" of new twrp version within twrp, the device only boots to download mode and you need Odin to fix it.

However if you flash new twrp with Odin, it boot correctly.

Not sure if others have noticed this with the other S4 Mini twrp versions.

Thanks! Used this TWRP v3.4.0-0 to store a backup image of 17.1 build 0613, and then restored that backup image. It would not boot, never even got to the lineage boot animation; just went from Samsung bootup screen to black, then two vibrations, and back to Samsung screen. Bootloops.

I used v3.4.0 to "image install" v3.3.1, which successfully rebooted to recovery, and then restored 17.1 backup:; it booted after flashing fix_rootfs.

When you mention it, I do remember it used to do that a long time ago. Maybe there's some build config option I'm not using. But to be honest, it's not really a feature that I miss or have been giving any thought. I think it's fine as is, using power or home button to wake it up.

Just installed latest version ROM 17.1 on i9195T. via TWRP 3.4.0. Clean Install. with Gapps Pico.

Then added several apps. Rooted using Magisk 20.4 . All working Great. Root permission to apps that require it.

Installed Titanium Backup Pro, Backup System and Apps to ExtSD.

Did Nandroid backup OK. with TWRP.

Then did Reboot. ALL working.

1. But Titanium Backup does now work, reinstalled not working as earlier. Wondering if Magisk Root access required for TB. Android 10 SAR causing problem.

Whereas PIE ROM - NO issues.

2. Next powered down and Tried to boot into TWRP recovery. Started , but went to Black Screen, vibrates then reset, and Start to Reboot into ROM instead of TWRP. Tried several attempts, same result NO TWRP recovery.

Booted into Download and reinstalled TWRP , via ODIN after creating TAR of Latest version i9195TWRP.IMG downloaded a couple days ago from page 1 links.

3. But now can not boot into Recovery TWRP 3.4.0.

Suspect issues with changes implemented by Android 10 in LOS 17.1 ROM for I9195 LTE device.

I have another i9195T With Arco68 LOS 16 ROM with TWRP 3.4.0 same version. With NO Issues.

Any suggestions. Cheers

First post updated for new builds with July security patches.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
1. I have zero experience with this, so maybe others can give better answer. All I can say is, yes with SAR

some apps might have issues and they would have to be updated to handle it correctly in Android 10. Also,

Lineage 17.1 no longer comes with root built in, as was the case with Lineage 16.0. So you will have to rely

on Magisk from now on.

2. Before flashing TWRP with Odin, try powering phone off. Remove the battery. Wait a few seconds and

reinsert battery. Then boot to download mode and flash. Also try with the tar from official TWRP, in case

there's something wrong with yours.

3. The ROM has nothing to do with booting into recovery. That's handled by the bootloader, which intercepts

they key combo you hold while powering on the phone, and acts accordingly.

E.g. home+volume down+power = download mode

Do you get the blue text at the top while booting into recovery?

I just switched from 16.0 to 17.1 and was pretty sure everything works at least pretty well. So far, so good. But the camera behaves really weird! I searched through the whole thread but the camera was only mentioned concerning the folder where photos are being saved.

Here the photos are rotated 90° to the left and scaled to the normal format, which means it's quite distorted. I can use it to e.g. scan the QR code for whatsapp web, but making real photos makes no sense.

I whiped the thing, installed "version" 20200713 and Magisk version 20.4. That's it.

edit: Oh, forgot to mention: When I try to switch to the front camera, the stock camera app crashes, Open Camera doesn't crash, but shows a mirrored picture.

edit2: Sorry! I have an i9195.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Ok, so I reinstalled the ROM only (without Magisk) with a full wipe. Now the camera works perfectly. Reinstalled again with Magisk, camera goes nuts.

What is going on?!?! I swear I'm not kidding!

edit: I cannot go deeper into this, because I need a working phone! With the ROM and Magisk installed, the camera behaved strange. Then after encrypting the phone, the camera worked as expected. That got me thinking: Could it depend on whether or not I have set a screen lock with the install wizard?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sekret1:
Ok, so the ROM is running pretty fine so far, so thanks [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]

Hi arco68,

Please explain changes between 13.06.20 and 13.07.20 versions apart from July security updates.

Do you have a change log to refer to in future. Listing additions, fixes, deletes, etc.

If minimal, can you just add security patch, as a zip in TWRP, instead of full update.

You are doing a great job.
