Hi arco68,

I have tried several times to restore a FULL NANDROID BACKUP, created from LOS 17.1 Working ROM with 20 apps installed.

Device is GT-I9195T ROM is Latest Release 2020.

I am using TWRP v3.4.0-0 compiled by yourself.

Over the last couple of days I backed up ALL 8 Partitions including internal storage using Magisk 20.4 using a couple of modules, one called TWRP HELPER v1.0 to allow backup Data including Internal Storage.

The PROBLEM I found with this TWRP BUILD, is that Boot loop created after the FULL NANDROID RESTORE.

Several Attempts, but ALWAYS SAME RESULT.

I tried to Restore only ALL partitions, except Boot & Recovery. FAIL - Result Boot loop.

Another try, Restore ALL partitions except Modem & EFS partitions. FAIL - Result Boot loop.

BOOT LOOP - Start PowerUp Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT - I9195T LOGO SCREEN. Displayed for a minute or two. Eventually the phone vibrates twice, then Reboots again. Repeats as many times, until turn off by holding Power+Vol Down+Home buttons. Do this 3 button hold, released, try again, Restored Recovery TWRP MENUU Screen.

I also tried Wipe options.

Result - FAIL STILL.

FIX - I restored TWRP and dirty FLASHED LOS 17.1 ROM again. NOW THIS TIME LOS 3 Rings LOGO APPEARED. SO ALL WORKING AGAIN.

So even the RESTORE or the BACKUP OF SYSTEM PARTITION gets CORRUPTED.

So reflashing ROM again Allows the FULL NANDROID BACKUP & RESTORE to be Fully Functional again.

I have provided LOGS for you to examine.

SO THIS TWRP v3.4.0-0 needs. Some More Work.

Cheers

Installed LineageOS 17.1 20200914 using official TWRP v3.4.0.0. Everything seems to work fine so far.

The only problem is that I can't set up Google Family Link for Kids on my s4 mini i9192 on this ROM. Tried pico and micro versions of open gapps to no avail. The setup starts fine, but I'm unable to finish it properly for whatever reason. It either doesn't accept the correct password or just offers to cancel the setup process (depending on whether I start the setup from the settings on the kids device or from entering the code from the parent's device).

How can I flash this zip.jar files from OP? TWRP only accepts zip flies.

If I try to rename and flash, the phone stucks in the boot animation.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
zip.jar ??? (Please clarify.)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] norman0:
When I download a ROM for the GT-I9195, the file name is lineage-17.1-20200914-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip.jar.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
I see. Strange. When I download lineage-17.1-20200914-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip, that is exactly what I get. No ".jar" at the end. I use Firefox on my i9195 (or, could get the same result using Firefox on desktop). Aren't JAR files something used by Java? Or, might an unpackaging app like 7-zip be used to extract the ZIP from your JAR?

What are you using to download the ROM?

edit - Compare your downloaded file size to mine: 419,857,407 bytes
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Oh, it's mediafire. I think, last Downloads with Windows pc have been ok.

Upgraded from LineageOS 14 (also wiped afterwards), but my SIM is no longer recognized.

Initially I flashed:

twrp-3.4.0-0-serranodsdd

lineage-17.1-20200914-UNOFFICIAL-serranodsdd

I know tried flashing the modem:

I9192UBSCQB2_I9192UBUCOC2

None of it worked. Is there any vendor image that I need to flash as well, or does someone have an idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] norman0:
Download with Firefox. Ending is .zip The file size is correct (419.857.407).

1st try: Update with gapps -> after Restart, Lineage boot animation then automatic reboot in TWRP

2nd try: factory reset -> after Restart, Lineage boot animation then automatic reboot in TWRP

3rd try: flash only Lineage OS, no gapps, factory reset -> after Restart, Lineage boot animation then automatic reboot in TWRP

When I restore the backup, everything is fine. Maybe there is something wrong with the uploaded ROMs

Hi, I'm in the same boat and have found exactly the same faults, it's the first time I've loaded a ROM in nearly 8 years.

Lineage is absolutely stunning and a triumph but it has the faults that you mention, Bluetooth doesn't work and there is something up with the memory with it freezing.

Is there an earlier version of lineage which works solidly on the GT-i9595? And also what your recommendation for the best ROM for this phone? I am really out of date with things.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Freddew:
In case you mean the GT-I9195, i can highly recommend arco's pie rom (LineageOS 16.0), especially if you're not so eager to experiment.

Everything is working .. for me. I use it as daily driver.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Hindel:
Installed and works fine except I can not seem to be able to delete files (there is no delete option). But the greatest downfall is that there is no way to install gapps. I tried multiple versions TWRP (2.6 3.1 3.2 3.3) but none of them are able to install gapps ARM 64 nano or pico. I was able to install ARM gapps version of both nano and pico version but ofc none of the apps work in the system after restart and just crash at start.

Looks like we need to wait for TWRP team to sort it out.

Keep up the good work non the less and thank you very much!

Thanks for your continuous work on the S4 mini, acro.

I used your builds for this device since 14.1, switched to another device for 3 years, and am very pleased to see a first build on Pie... seems like i could go back to the good old one :)

So far, almost everything seems to work fine.

Problems:

Media over bluetooth doesn't play smoothly

No root (Neither Lineage su.zip exists nor magisk did work here)

Features I could not test yet:

SD card

SIM-card

NFC
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
New builds with February security patches available.

- Fixed wifi QR code scanner

- Magisk can now be installed

- Other fixes here and there

I'm aware that bluetooth playback with built-in music app is not good, and I

don't really know why. I tested a bit with VLC, and it seemed much better with that.

Clean install on I9195 for me not for production usage actually

Hello,

I‘m using the S4 Mini with arco68 build and android 9. very good ROM. Good job within this ROM.

I tried with 17.1 builds. Found different problems with it, so I go back to 16.0 build.

Sdcard not functioning as internal memory.

Chrome issues when starting.. mostly system crashes and do restart the device

Some other stuff missing in 17.1 build. I’m sure it takes time to integrate.

Arco68 is doing a very good job here and he has no full appreciation for the work of assembling a useful and contemporary Rome for this now very old machine

Unfortunately I only have one device available, which I use product iv... so I don't wait a few weeks or months until I try again to upgrade to 17.1 build.

Until then I will continue reading here and look forward to your results. And take off my hat

Greetings Bea de Val
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] sacharja:
Tried the factory reset, but unfortunately, still the same. The SIM is not recognized in both slots.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Instead of factory reset you should wipe /system and format /data. Then flash lineageOS
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] norman0:
That's it. Now it is starting. Thank you.

So I have to setup from scratch.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] norman0:
Some trys later: I've mad the same steps. Wipe /system and format /data. Then install the ROM. The phone does not start. Very strange. Only the old backup is working. Maybe something is wrong with my phone
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
Did you format data as f2fs? If so, reformat as ext4. F2fs is not supported in 17.1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] arco68:
People who had this issue before, needed to update the modem firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] norman0:
Thank you for your reply. System and data are formated in ext4
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] chomsky55:
Quick newbie question...Do I have to wipe all data and reinstall all my apps each time a new security patch releases? If not, how do I keep all my data while updating?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kurtn:
Download the zip file. Boot into twrp flash zip. Boot into system. No wiping. Make sure the update is part of the same series as your installed rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] chomsky55:
I have installed lineage using TWRP and ADB sideload. So you are saying I can just sideload the new ROM using ADB as long as its part of the same series?

Maybe I should have been more precise: I can send encrypted messages via internet with Signal. What doesn't work is the SMS part. Does that one work for you too?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] mammuts:
Well I am new here at xda and first of all I would like to thank arco for keeping my gt-i9192 alive.

I have a strange issue with the 20200813 and 20200914 release. I switched over from lineage-16 to 20200813 with a clean install. 20200914 is a dirty flash.

I turn the screen lock off via system profiles when I am at home. Now the home button and the recent apps button only work until the screen goes black for the first time after the profile switch. It does not matter if I use the hardware or software buttons. The buttons work again if I switch to a profile with an activated screen lock. I use a screen lock with a password if that matters.

What baseband do you guys recommend for Germany? I tried XXUCOA2. The issue with that baseband was when the phone lost the signal and aquiered it again the mobile data connection would not work until I restarted the phone. Now I use XXSCQA2. The problem is now, when I traveled to Belgium the phone lost the first sim card. Sometimes it shows a signal but if someone tries to call me, the phone does not ring and I get a SMS from my provider that someone tried to call me.

The question here is, is my hardware faulty?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
The "S" in this baseband indicates "Specified" which means carrier specified. This could cause your issue? You could try XXUCQL2 from here:

Hi arco68,

One thing that needs fixing is data transfer rate more instability in Download. Comparing Stock modem partition on Stock ROM v4.4.2, Download speed measured, using speedtest.net. Same network provider, same device, only difference is LOS 17.1 custom build.

RESULT ON STOCK > 50Mbps everything.

RESULT ON LOS 17.1 5-10, Mbps MAYBE OCCASSIONAL PEAK to 15 Mbps, but fluctuating up or down during each DOWNLOAD TEST.

SAME RESULT ON ANOTHER PHONE I9195, USING SAME STOCK MODEM,

So both very slow result on both LOS 16 and 17.1 ROM builds. TWRP V3.4.0-0 as Recovery. Magisk v20.4 Root Method.

I am comparing 3 of same phone models, being GT-I9195T Phones, under same testing conditions off same WIFI CHANNEL, being channel 9 on 2.4GHz and channel 36 & 42 on 5GHz bands. All phones within 3 m of WIFI Wireless Router. Signal strength being > -60dBm. So plenty of incoming RSSI.

So I am comparing, like for like, it is interesting that these Results have been consistent across several builds over the year, ALWAYS SLOW DOWNLOADS and similar UPLOAD Transfer Rates. Whereas again Stock phone UPLOAD Rates is STABLE 18 Mbps, Custom LOS 16 and 17.1 phones, fluctuating and Slow.

ALL phones are using Modem same Stock version preserved as Stock being vfat format, as well as Stock EFS partitions.

Another Tablet SM-T835 similar FAST DOWNLOAD 50-54 Mbps and UPLOAD 18Mbps, now Android 10 Stock, but similar results on previous 8 and 9 Builds on this Tablet.

Another Tablet SM-T330 as Stock 5.1.1. Which is emmc on Modem partition. DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD speeds same again being D/L 50-54 Mbps and U/L 18 Mbps.

Now I am using this Milletwifi Tablet, on emmc format, same result on LOS 16 build by Matteo0026,

But the Slow speed on D/L and U/L, again inconsistency appears when changing from Stock emmc to vfat, under changes in partition format in TWRPV3.4.0-4 built also by Matteo0026.

So a common theme here: I am experiencing is vfat format MODEM PARTITION has been SLOW RESULTS comparing Stock vs Custom ROM Builds.

So I am suspecting there is something missing in Custom builds, that is not present in Stock builds across several devices.

I have been using speedtest.net for 10 - 20 years as my Standard, for commissioning Mobile Base Stations from GSM, CDMA, 3G and 4G Mobile Networks, as well as WIFI Network.

I have added lots of screen shots from each of the 3 GT-I9195T phones. Shows Data Transfer Results, WIFI LEVELS, PHONE INFO, to show ROM and phone details.

Added screenshots from SM-T835 tablet on Stock Android 10. for more info

Any comments would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi all,

thanks [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] for the builds and all your work that helps this project.

I've tried the latest builds (20200914) for my i9195. Android 10 is so much faster and more responsive on this 2 core, 7 years old phone - amazing !.

However, I have an issue with wifi. So far it seems I am not able to connect to a hidden (5GHz) network, or some of the networks, depending on configuration.

As a workaround I've made a hotspot on my desktop and I had to go passwordless (no security) as with WPA2 Personal the phone refused to connect.

Another issue is the chrome browser, after opening a page the screen blacks out and the phone becomes unresponsive for a minute or two. It gives me no chance to switch to another app and chrome is unusable after unfreezeing (appears to be on the page before freeze). The built in browser works fine.

I've been then trying older and older builds and had to go back to lineageos 16.0, precisely lineage-16.0-20200515 seems to be the build that works with at least some of my wifi setups.

If any of you have some tips what could be made to make the wifi work or debug it, please write.

I am looking forward for another build, if there is one coming. Is there a chance that it would repair the wifi problem ?

I did some testing too. With Lineage 15.1, 16.0 and 17.1, I get the same speed results. Around 30-40 Mbps.

With CM 14.1 and before I get above 50 Mbps.

There was some major network and hal related changes in Android when Oreo was released, so I guess

something here caused some regressions for our old phone. I've been trying to find something, but

so far no luck. I'll keep looking though.
