Security updates for LOS-18 will be available for a while.

I had mentioned it before that the wireless screen transfer (since android-9 I think) is not supported by google. Via chromcast works fine (tested it myself). Miracast probably not (needs to be tested), but that's because of the AOSP source.

Generally the start doesn't take longer than with LOS-18. Do you have the proper TWRP version on your device? (3.5 or 3.6)

Hello,

The "Peak Finder" application allows you to recognize mountain peaks. When aiming for these mountains, you can also click on the camera icon, in the application, to photograph them and have the name above each of them. Unfortunately, both with "LineageOS 18.1" and with "LineageOS 17" the application crashes or quits. However, it works well with [ROM][GT-I9195I][UNOFFICIAL][7.1] CyanogenMod 14.1. Does anyone know why?

Thank you for your help and for all the work you do.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
I just checked the screen transfer thing again (TV with microsoft wireless display adapter, I think it uses Miracast) with the january build - and it works now! I am sure that it didn't work when I tried it several months ago, so this seems to have been fixed in the meantime. Great. :)

One question for the Android 12 users here: How much internal memory is used by the system in comparison to Android 11?

The only real "restriction" I experience with the S4 Mini is the tiny internal storage of 8GB. Every now and then I cannot make App updates bacause of memory shortage and I really have to decide carefully which apps I install. I tried once this "format as internal storage" thing from Android but it was not working well: Apps "disappeared" and there were error messages popping up. (I don't know whether it is my SD card, I use MicroSD 64GB with C10 velocity). I am now using "normally" with SD card formated as external storage and there are no problems except that I always have to delete apps and cache of apps etc when the internal storage is full.

Has anyone here experience with "format SD as extended internal storage"? How do you deal with the low internal storage?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mr_fromage:
Hi rom4nb, unfortunately I made the same experiences. Long time I tried different LOS between v16 to v18 by using the sd as internal memory, but nothing was stable enough for long time using (months+). So it´s exactly the way you described.

The last try I gave this rom with the option microG. Let´s say it short - perfect. It doesn´t help the internal memory problem of the S4 mini, but the phone is now rock solid and of course a daily driver more than ever. For example the google play services were about 900 MB before, now the microG replica-apps are no longer noticeable in size. And this 900 MB´s are now free in (my) internal memory. The phone itself is also more efficient without these original google stuff...I´m very happy about. The memory is still limited, ok, but be proud of having a 8 years old phone without any software restriction.

Thanks to mernurisha for this great work!!! Very impressed for years!

...hope to see next steps in development of S4 mini :cool:

Hi @mernurisha ,

thx again for your great work 👏

I'm on version 20211214 and I'm trying to get encryption to work. Phone is charged, usb connected but when starting the encryption process the phone just restarts to the login screen.

Anybody got an idea what's goin' on here and how to solve this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Too less information about your request. If you want to encrypt the device after installing the gapps, you may end up in bootloop.

So first encrypt then install gapps.

New LineageOS 19.0 build is available.

- February 2022 security update

What works:

- Almost everything

What doesn't:

- Selinux is still permissive

Small bugs are maybe still to be expected but are negligible for me.

This build in my opinion is suitable for daily use.

Download as always on the first page.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TheRealRalf:
Ah, good to know.

I'm on 18.1. So if I understand you correctly I've got to reinstall 18.1, encrypt device and SD and lastly install gapps?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] misotauros:
I wonder why I seem to be the only one having issues with paring modern devices (like echo-dot gen.4). Just today I tried to pair the s4mini running 18.1 with a car computer and the phone and the car computer showed me the same PIN for paring. But - no luck.

Can someone please confirm bluetooth paring does not work for certain devices?

Hello,

Under Lineage 19, it is impossible for me to use geolocation correctly. Certainly it is done by the GPS antenna but I believe that it is not done by using the relay antennas close to the smartphone. As a result, application data that requires coordinates only updates externally. Is it possible to fix it?

Thanks again for the work you do.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I dont understand your request, sorry.

I also have pairing issue with another device. It will be fixed in the next build.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JFK1975:

Hello

With Lineage 18.1, layering on other apps is no longer allowed. The Lineage 18.1 version for the i9195 (Without the i at the end) allows you to choose. Is it possible to do the same for the i9195i?

Thanks again for all you do.

Hi mernurisha,

thanks for the March build of LinageOS 18.1 :)

So far I haven't tried LineageOS 19 yet. First, because I need a stable ROM for my daily driver. Second, because I worry that LinageOS 19 will even use more internal memory than 18.1. The ROM zip-file is about 80 MB larger.

On 18.1 my phone says the system covers 3.0 GB of internal memory (see screenshot). I would appreciate when someone with LinageOS 19 could report here how much memory is used by the system there. :) I really have no issues with the S4 Mini as daily driver - except the short internal memory so I run in problems sometimes and have to uninstall apps to do updates etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Asurit0:
Audio doesn't seem to be working on 19. I increased the value of speakers on the mixer paths file but still it doesn't work.

And yes the speaker is working it just sounds extremely low
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
If you properly followed the installation guide as described in the original post, you would not be spreading fake news here. The sound is also loud enough.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Asurit0:
Yes, sorry my speaker was malfunctioning I already fixed it.

Anyway, I don't know how kernels work so... Do you know if I can use a custom kernel from the forum with your custom ROM ? I don't want to brick my phone for the fifth time today

Hey I am wondering how you used https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM891 to build the android 12 ROM. It looks like there is only the Device-Specific code for android 11. I am trying to build LineageOS 19 for GT-I9192 (serranodsdd) but there is only the device-specific code for LineageOS 18.1. How can I do this?

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
I am having problems with strong battery drain and the phone getting hot at one spot below the display (I suppose it is where the CPU is located ;-) ) recently. I don't know yet whether the ROM itself has some problem since the recent builds or some app is causing a problem. Before, I haven't notice these problems.

I tried to find in developer settings some setting to check the CPU load but didn't find anything. Then I tried several apps for CPU load monitoring: AnotherMonitor and CPUStats from F-Droid and Droid Info from Play/Aurora Store. However, these apps only show me the memory/RAM usage but for CPU either nothing "-%" or incorrect vallues (0%, OR 100% "frozen" in CPUStats).

Is there a way to somehow track otherwise which process causes the CPU load? Is there some way in the app ROM itself I haven't found so far? (e.g. via adb)

Thanks for you help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] :
Thanks a lot for this ROM. With my device there a two issues: Clicking on the battery indicator and trying to connect to WIFI in the notification area crashes the system UI (doing it repeatedly displays the message “System UI keeps stopping”). It works fine from the preferences menu.

Should be the process which drains the battery the most?

Much obliged.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
I made a fall back to LinageOS 18.1 april security update to LinageOS 18.1 march security update by flashing again the older ROM version. First it looked better but then there was again some process was messing up and the battery draining started and the phone got hot. See screenshot one.

I found how to check the cpu load caused by currently running processes:

connect phone via USB cable to PC with adb installed (here Desktop linux)

enter in terminal "adb shell"

enter "htop"

kind of "taskmanager" with CPU load is shown

Accordingly to "htop" the process "/vendor/bin/thermal-engine" causes heavy CPU load. Does anyone else has battery drain problems recently? I haven't had problems until some weeks ago. @mernurisha Do you actually know what this process does?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] igs165:
Hi @mernurisha,

thanks for your great work.

I've tried to build the images from source code based on the links above but I wasn't able to achieve that. First there is no local_manifest for either version 18.1 or 19.1. So I created one myself based on the 17.1 manifest. I could fix some minor compile issues but run in a bigger issue when compiling the android_hardware_qcom_audio driver. I'm even not sure if that driver is still needed in 18.1 builds of serranovelte.

At that point I came to the conclusion that you do something complete different when building the images. Unfortunately I could not find a single line of build doumentation in any of the dozens repositories. Maybe you could provide a small build guide or your manifests and config files or both.

I would greatly appraciate that and be very thankful.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Dirty flash from 18.1 to 19.1 succeeded! Runs like a charm.

I'm well impressed with the ROM in general and especially the camera which I think functions better now (probably due to OpenCamera) than on 18.1. For a device that was abandoned in 2016(right?) it runs Android 12 exceptionally well - considering it was abandoned on 4.4 by Samsung!

Thanks to all that have worked on this.

I really like los 17 + Opengapps, but los-17 has no updates since februari :-(

So I decided to try a clean los 18 (because of selinux), in combination with Opengapps, but was somewhat disappointed:

- Netflix did not show in playstore anymore

- Safetynet Attest test fails (related to Netflix problem?)

- my banking app refused to install because it wouldn't recognize my debitcard with nfc or camera.

- Email app was missing (found out that's due to lineagos removing it).

So i'm back on los 17 now, thanks to TWRP backup/restore.

Anybody know how to fix Netflix? maybe by replacing Opengapps by MinMicroG-MinalIAP?

Hi Mernurisha,

Thank you for your work.

You are right, simple flashing of lineage-19.1 August 2022 build does not work, the initial boot is looping/restarting forever.

A clean installation of lineage-19.1 August 2022 and MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm-20220605 works, but at the initial boot the MindTheGapps setup process does not start automatically, but only the standard lineage setup.

Have a nice day,

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Thanks for the hint.

I will look for it.

Edited:

The reason for the SetupWizard is not a build problem, but rather is due to MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm-20220605. The latest version of MindTheGapps is not compatible with the August build of LOS-19.

Try the latest opengapps from here. Tested the pico(arm) version myself and it works.

But wifi doesn't come up. I see my network but after typing the password in the according LOS setup page it only tells me "saved" without connecting. Tried to do it after finishing the setup-wizard but result was the same.

On lineage-18.1-20220613-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip it's working fine on the same device.

It's for the German setup in case this is important.

I wiped: Dalvic, data, internal, cache, system
