​

Maybe a SOLUTION for the V21.0 (Serranovelte GT I9195I) - SMS SEND ISSUE ?

Have you check the Short Message Service Centre (SMSC)? Every provider has its own SMSC number. Deutsche Telekom (Europe) e.g. has the number +491710760000.

To check the status of the number you have to enter this code in the phone app: *#*#4636#*#* then "phone information", scroll down to SMSC. Click on Activation NOT Update. Here you can see the number.

If you don't have one or have an incorrect one you can enter it here. Click next to SMSC and then Paste. Then Update.

For me the numbers 14 and 5 were automatically added to the number. I entered the number with +49... and not with 0049... at the beginning. I used Copy / Paste on LineageOS V.19.1 - serranovelte GT I9195I.

I was abroad and couldn't send an SMS. When I changed it and reboot the phone it worked immediately :)

Note on V19.1

I had to correct the SMSC Number after I changed my provider to telekom but kept the phonenumber. SMS -ALWAYS- worked without any problems within my home country. It was only abroad (after the change) that there were problems sending SMS. Perhaps Telekom has certain SMSC numbers that are not 100% supported abroad or there were problems changing the SMSC number - within the smartphone - from the old provider to the new (Telekom)?

Best wishes and good luck

What issue is this? I have been using serranovelte's LinageOS 18.1 for more than three years now and never had any issue with SMS or mobile network data / LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] oldman53:
@mernurisha many thanks for your work.

I upgraded from LOS17 to LOS18, almost works fine.

USB charging with PC goes, but i enlarged the Top Menu

all buttons to choice USB modes are grey (non-active).

P.S.

Data transfer with MyPhoneExplorer over USB goes.

So the cable is OK.

THX for help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Thanks for the info. In the next update this will also be fixed together with wifi hotspot.

Either this weekend or next week.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Hi guys,

the link to gapps in first post not working... correct link? s4mini are 64bit arm or 32bit?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Only some operations in 9195i are 64bit, ROM is 32bit. For GApps, try this:

so what is the best?...AOSP or LineageOS?..now im using Lineage OS but it is too slow..sometimes need to wait up to 1 minute to open a page in browser or to move between apps
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Skerleton:
installed AOSP...same problem..laggy and very slow to use
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Native Browser of LOS and AOSP can sometimes be slow. Can significantly make the system slower.

Try other Browsers. I always use either Chrome or Vivaldi browser.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Skerleton:
i never used stock browser i use only chrome..but im about all the phone..not only browser..in generally it is slow to use..sometimes is fast..sometimes is horrible i press power or home button over 20-30 times and the screen is still black and wont turn on to unlock and use the phone..if i have a message in intragram o other applications and want to respond i need to spend over 2-3 mins to unlock the phone by swipe..to open that application and when i press to write..other 30-60 seconds need to wait while the keyboard is oppening to write something
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Maybe there are other apps that make the system slow. Everybody has different user behavior.

What Gapps version do you have installed?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
I use Opera. it's 100x faster than other Browsers on our device.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
So this indicates problem is something other than operating system. It could be an app, combination of apps struggling for the same limited device resources, or even malware busy sending your data to a server in China? If you can somehow detect the culprit and fix it, then okay; but most likely, you may have to start from scratch. I mean wipe everything, make a clean OS install, and then add one app at a time. After each app install, use device awhile before installing next app. It will take a long time, but may give you success that otherwise will not be forthcoming.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Skerleton:
official from OpenGapps use...you know...these problems are like a wave of water..sometimes is very fast and usable..other times is very slow..and i dont have any other apps installed..only instagram telegram chrome discord and the Pico package of Gapps..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Skerleton:
maybe but i cant use other browsers than Chrome because it is from google and all my accounts and devices are Synced..story passwords websites etc...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Skerleton:
i everytime when update or install another OS i do advanced wipe for cache data system etc
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Where did you get the official gapps for Android 11 for arm32 devices?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Skerleton:
on official website
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
You're grumbling here, not giving any precise information.

I do not know which gapps version from where you have installed, to my knowledge there is no official Gapps support for arm32 devices in Android-R.

Everything here is voluntary. If you don't like it go to stock rom.

You paid for nothing here. Therefore you cant make any claims.

watch better and will find) https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm/test/20210130/

These are TEST builds, not official (not even unofficial). They seem to be the best available at this time.

@mernurisha,sorry to bother you again unfortunately it is back (when i switch on the loudspeaker during conversation then my conversation partner suffers from reverberation) I can still remember that at Los 16 had no problem with it I have returned to Los 16 to test and indeed no problem. Now I am on LOS18 again and the problem is still present. to clarify During conversation I press the speaker key then start the reverberation. I hope you are willing to check again. thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Thanks for admin, will check soon.

Hi, can I install this ROM even into a Samsung S4 Mini GT-I9195? In the OP is written GT-I9195I and I don't know if the final I makes big differences. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
It makes. You can not.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
It works. You must grant permissions for notifications.

Press and hold on a free space on the home screen and select:

Home Settings > Notifications dots > Change settings > Trebuchet > Allow notifications access
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
yesss it works!! many many thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] x53:
I've installed the ROM, it works very nice and smooth. Keyboard has good accuracy and reacts nice,too. I rooted succesfully with Magisk v22. Only within the Camera App I haven't found the setting for saving images to external SD. Did I miss something?

Toggle button-backlight is only possible during active display. I used root and ADB for this test. Sadly it doesn't work with inactive display for notification purposes, e.g. using tasker app.

echo 1 > /sys/devices/soc.0/i2c.71/i2c-7/7-0020/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Maybe an powersaving problem? I've no clue.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JFK1975:
Thanks once again for your hard and great work on our device(ツ) .

Really enjoy your last build which seems Mord responsive👌except my external SD isn't recognized anymore right. System says it has to be formatted and when format is started the device is rebooting after some time. There is only the Boot screen for minutes. Had already problems with ext SD before, but it was a different SD and it seems there are different i9195i variants. Till now SD worked fine with all of your builds.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I don't have an SD card problem. Will check anyway.

Thanks for the hint.

Besides the older OpenGApps-arm-11.0-pico-20210101-UNOFFICIAL did work. Any ideas? Newer BiTGApps seams better and smaller then OpenGapps if they would install.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Hi. Thanks to mernurisha for this ROM. I just installed it and it works very well. :)

I have a question: I don't want to install GApps but I consider having MicroG. For MicroG there is signature spoofing needed. Is this somehow possible with this ROM and if yes does anyone have a hint how to do it?

All the best, rom4nb
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
It is

very important

to boot into recovery mode after rom installation and then install the gapps.

Follow these steps:

- Install rom -->

reboot in recovery

--> Install BitGapps-R21 --> reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
I think I have found a bug:

The search function is missing in the music app. There is usually a search button in the music app next to the three dots that open the menu.

See the attached screenshots: on the left Galaxy S4 Mini with missing search, on the right how it should be (here example from my other Samsung Smartphone)

As it is the system music app I see no way to reinstall the app myself. Maybe it's a bug of the ROM? Can someone confirm this bug?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
Bluetooth doesn't seem to work. It's possible to toggle the icon in the control panel, but nothing is detected and the icon doesn't appear on the status bar.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
My bad. Bluetooth seems to work.

But there is another problem I'm having - Google Fit is showing only calories, the steps is 0 all the time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
It happens. App may become incompatible with rom
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
Will reinstall help? Or do I need to find another app?

Do you know which pedometer app is compatible with this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Nobody knows for sure. Just try others.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
@ynodir, bluetooth works fine here try reboot you phone. who knows, that might help
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
Just tried AIDA64 - it doesn't show any readings from step counter sensor.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
Another issue - looks like notifications do not appear on the icon of the app - e.g., number of unread messages isn't shown in Telegram/Whatsapp apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Number оf unread messages? On LineageOS? Have you seen it ever?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
I have seen it in original ROM, but not on LineageOS.

So, it was never supported?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Sure
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Hello ynodir.

Try this:

Tap and hold on home screen

start screen settings

app notification points (2nd option)

advanced (at very bottom)

activate: app notification point on app symbol
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
Hi rom4nb,

thanks, that worked - it doesn't show the number, but it shows a small circle on the icon when new notifications appear.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nick_Knatterton:
GPS and VoLTE doesn't work, anyone with the same issue?

Also, when I try to Update to the newest Version I get Exit Code 4 in TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ynodir:
GPS works for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
GPS also works for me. VoLTE is not supported by my network operator, so I cannot test it.

But I found another problem yesterday: when I want to share the screen over WIFI, I see the TV and I can start the connection (TV also shows connection in progress). But as soon as you think connection is now established and the screen should be shared, the phone reboots. I tried several times, the screen share always triggered a reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
it never works on custom ROMs on Samsung. Samsung doesn't share soft needed for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Next build will have the signature spoofing support. Be patient.

This is lineage mistake (I guess since android 9 or 10), has nothing to do with this build.

Use another music player.

You can also try this build. I made this for fun :cool:

lineage-15.1-20210415-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte

This TWRP-3.3.1-0-serranovelte is required.

I don't know if my device has built-in step counter.

It is displayed in AIDA64, but I think we have different hardware.

Try with this app: Accupedo. In the settings change Sensing method to internal g-sensor.

As Nokono said, the VoLTE problem is well known. The problem with screencast in the last LOS rom, unfortunately can not say anything about it. I use the AEX rom and the mirroring via chromcast to TV works fine.

However, in the next May LOS update will also work.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nick_Knatterton:
Thanks for the answers!

Do I need play services for GPS to work?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
You don't
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
GPS works well. Try to make a clean install (Backup your data before).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Hello mernurisha. :) Thank you for your answer. :)

Do I understand rightly that you fixed the music app bug with missing search in this "for fun made build"? :)

How can I install it over the last ROM? Is there any way for "dirty install" to keep my apps and configs? When I do clean install with wipe etc. I have factory reset as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] zevs12:
Does NFC work? Does it get a pass on SafetyNet in order to work with my banking app?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
Hi,

thanks mernurisha,

this ROM is working fine, better than ever.

Btw I noticed that graphic performance is not as good as it could be, and not as good as the last Samsung official stock ROM based on KitKat 4.4.4.

I wonder if this could be a hardware driver issue or version ?

When using 3D Mark benchmark version 1.7.3516 ( last version compatible with KitKat 4.4.4 ) availaible on apkpure.com

https://apkpure.com/fr/3dmark-—-the-gamer-s-benchmark/com.futuremark.dmandroid.application/download/3516-APK?from=popup/version

the same benchmark is showing significant differences:

Using Samsung Stock ROM I9195IXXU1AOE1_I9195IOXX1AOF1_XEF:

Using lineage-18.1-20210509-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte:

Do you have an idea why this (hardware driver issue, OpenGL librarie difference, driver version, 64 bits ? )

I can do additionnal tests if needed.

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] x53:
Look at the blue graph. LineageOS 11 looks like software rendering, because CPU usage is much higher than stock rom. Just a hunch.

Check developer settings. There are graphic driver settings per App and HW-Overlay. Maybe they have some affect?!

Btw the used app version is good enough for old kitkat os but maybe not optimized for the new lineage os?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
First of all, thanks for the advice. After some modifications in the build here is the result on my device with the last version of Lineage.

I think these scores vary a lot. I do not know if this is reliable.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
From what I've seen, the score is quite reliable and does not vary much ( only a few percents ).

I've noticed the big score difference with the original stock ROM from the beginning since the firsts LineageOS 15.1 unofficial ROM you've released.

But anyway it is not a big issue as the Lineage ROM is working fine.

Your work allows to still be able to use I9195I device, as many apps are not anymore compatible with latest Samsung official ROM, which is now obsolete and unusable.

I'm still attached to this small light device, with its IR infrared (to control TV and Air Cooling in hotels) , removable battery and FM Radio. So thank you again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
Alright, now my device is also running on Android 11.

- Magisk and AdAway are running

- Bluetooth seems fine

- SD-Card is recognized

Phone is much more responsive than on Android 10!!

Maybe that's also due to BitGApps (R26) that I tried today the first time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
Yeah, it's a pity they don't produce phones of that kind and put some more power into it. So, thanks Mernurisha to keep it alive. Btw, how do you control TV and other IR-receivers? Do you always download the set of IR commands for each device? Not very important here, but an interesting thought at midnight :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
There are a lot of apps for IR. For example SURE Universal remote.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
With screenlock enabled using the double press on/off-button to quickly shoot a photo leads to the "Can't connect to camera" message and I would have to tap on "ok" and repeat once or twice. Without screenlock (i.e. set to swipe or when unlocked) it works always the first time.

I believe it's some sort of a timing problem, because the camera IS active "behind" the error message:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
A little question:

If custom ROMs for Samsung devices don't support VoLTE,

what will happen when only LTE is available ?

VoIP via messenger apps should still work,

or am I confusing something ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
Pop-up rotation icon? How to remove it?​
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
Funny, it's on the left side on my phone and disappears after 3 sec.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
After my good experience in terms of performance boost when I switched from OpenGApps to BitGApps, I wonder what will happen if I go one step further and give MicroG a try, too.

Has anybody tried MicroG yet?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
In terms of performance improvements, MicroG is generally the better choice than the Gapps.

I have had good experiences with MinMicroG_releases.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
I'm impressed with this:

This is a simple MicroG installer. It can install MicroG and other stuff into your system partition or as a Magisk module. It supports virtually all mobile architectures (arm/64, x86/64, mips/64) and fully supports KitKat and above. It can also (mostly) support much older versions, but sync adapters and some location providers won't work. It can even uninstall itself from your device, just rename it and flash it again.

Can you give me a little help to find the zips? 🤦‍♂️
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
First of all in recovery flash:

1-rom.zip

2-microG.zip ( which one is your decision )

3-Select: Wipe Dalvik Cache & Wipe Cache

4-Press 'Reboot System'

Second part, configure the microG:

1.- Open microG Settings

2.- Self check

3.- Should appear all ticked

4.- Press Power Button and select Restart
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
You are right, but when you type quickly on the keyboard, you keep tapping the icon that covers the key. It's getting a mess all the time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kariboo92:
Perfect. Good job.

No hurry but I would love to benefit theses improvements in the next build.

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
I can image. I'm lucky, it appears on the left side on my phone.

Nevertheless, I ran a search and came across such a neat line for Pie:

adb shell settings put secure show_rotation_suggestions 0

This or something similar should help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] msbln:
Well, I couldn't resist and tried

MinMicroG-MinimalIAP-2.10-20210428084837-signed.zip

but couldn't make the PlayStore to work.

But restoring the Backup with TWRP-3.5.2_9

worked very fast and flawlessly. Good thing to know.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
You need to allow permissions for Playstore app in Settings -> app and notifications -> playstore.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] misotauros:
FYI:

I have had no problems with unresponsiveness - until I tried minMicroG-nogoolag.

I did not use gapps or anything other then f-droid and direkt download of apks I wanted.

After installing minMicroG-nogoolag however one app in particular became completely unusable: ebay-kleinanzeigen.

It now felt like malware and tried to keep in focus. The menu item would not open and it looked like it tried to aggressively download adds (a pumping circle where adds appear) Only after disabling/removing microg with magisk and a reboot it performed and worked well again.

So it seems some apps will try to take advantage of whatever gapps or microg offers and that causes unresponsiveness - maybe someone has more insight into that?
