[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] AndrewVee:
One issue is solved! Our mesh WiFi (Cisco something or other) has some incompatibilities with some Android phones, and there were instructions on how to tweak the settings to bypass the issues :)

The other issues aren't a huge deal, as long as reception is fine.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] parakleet:
Everything you are describing would require network resources to execute wifi or cell data.

Depending on how heavily modified your home wifi is just about anything could be causing intereference.

Can you snag some free wifi at the coffee shop or something like that to try it out?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] AndrewVee:
WiFi is solved - it was an incompatibility between the router and some Android devices which could be fixed with config tweaks.

I don't think the others are networking issues, but I'm always down to test (and happy to prove myself wrong) :) COVID makes it more difficult, but I'll probably be able to find somewhere to test wifi before the return period is up (next Friday). Hopefully the sim arrives today so I can test that way as well.

Either way, I think I'll be able to get to a point that I don't want to return the phone. At least I hope - I'm really happy with it other than these tiny issues.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kenbrownstone:
Did u update phone as soon as you booted for first time?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] AndrewVee:
Yep.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kenbrownstone:
If you hadn't reset phone since update I would or at least clear cache ..I had a lot of issues like you and I finally just reset mine fully and it fixed my problems..I was about to return mine too..
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] AndrewVee:
That's great advice, I can't believe I didn't think of it. It also sounds like a huge pain, but I'll def try it if I'm on the fence about returning this weekend.

Still waiting for OnTrac to deliver my sim - just want to give a shout out to them as the worst shipper around :p
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] raszop:
return it. it's a bad phone. and im say this as someone who had 6t for 2 years, 7t since april this year, and just returned 8t. the quality decrease... they only compete in numbers, not quality. it only shows sad direction of oneplus. so sad people shill this company, its now a shadow of what it used to be in its pinnacle - 3t/5/5t
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
With most of Googles stuff running through Chrome. Are you sure the videos that say, can't be played, might be blocked by an ad blocker? I have had none of the issues with the 8T+ 5G and the reception is on par with my 8 and 7 Pro.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] AndrewVee:
That sucks. My first experience with them was the OnePlus One, and this device is so much better, it's hard to even compare.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] badpanda:
If you got them at Tmobile return them they suck never updates is not the same as the global us version. There is also missing features.

Go before the 14 days.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
T-Mobile doesn't update them. OnePlus does! T-Mobile also charges a $50 restocking fee, per device.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] AndrewVee:
I bought directly from OnePlus.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] sameog:
I've have nothing but great experiences with oneplus. I moved away from samsung for oneplus. I figure this: you have 120hz refresh rate, 12 gb of ram and 256 gb of internal storage for 749.99. I mean, come on.....

do you want you phone to cost as much as your rent? <joke>

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

True, oneplus updates thru t-mobile lags hard. Now, on other hand, if I had the means, I totally buy it outright from oneplus themselves.

I do see your point. =)
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] AndrewVee:
Alright, I'm just gonna do a quick update.

First, OnTrac really does suck, they accidentally sent my brother's sim to another state, and mine has no status updates 4 days after it was supposed to be delivered.

BUT I didn't know you can just pay $10 for a Fi sim at BestBuy, so now I'm all set!

As for the issues:

WiFi: Fixed. Router incompatibility, but tweaked settings allowed the 8t to connect.

YouTube Music: Not sure, but it seems fine, and overall not a very big issue if I have to force quit occasionally.

Reception: Can't say 100%, but had 5G inside of BestBuy, and LTE/5G at home with full bars, so I'm pretty content to say this is fine.

Chrome Update: My brother rebooted his phone and the problem went away *shrug*

Video Playback in Google News: As [MENTION=3744731]parakleet[/MENTION] said, this is somehow a networking issue! Works fine when I disable wifi! I'm baffled that it's not an issue on other phones at home, but happy to be proved wrong.

So, overall, I'm now excited to have an 8T I can use as an actual phone, and it seems stable and working :)

thank you very much mernurisha I'm going to test this rom
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] refrigerador67:
wow, there already? I am surprised by how quickly you did it, I hope one day it will come out for the GT-I9190 :)

the post says it is android 10, is it an error? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
? Mistake?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Yes, 11 is correct.

OP Edited.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DroidKing18:
Nice work man, also, LiveDisplay seems to work, everything seems smooth so far, well done and thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mirt81:
Thank you mernurisha for Build Roms !

For me Phonecall app not working
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mirt81:
Iam so Sorry made wrong Info !

Rom working good for essential function . . . have tested second time . . . very greatfull .

Only issue so far the lidly SD Card permissions but thats is not to fix in Rom itself i know.

Magisk for root testet with v21.0 are possible.

Th@nks again mernurisha *****
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
[MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION], the lock screen PIN is not working. thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
After you have entered your PIN, your device cannot be unlocked? If that happens, try following these steps:

Enter your pin. Wait until the display goes off, then press the Power button ( or Home button ) and then just press the back button.

This is how it works for me.

Remember, this is initial Build. It can only get better :)

I have been using this build on my device since day one with Chrome Browser and so far no problems.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
[MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION], the problem is that I still don't have a pin code because it is failing to create one even with pattern and password. I fully understand this new rom so take your time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I don't understand what you mean, sorry. You don't have a PIN code?

The input field for PIN code does not appear when the device starts up?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
[MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION],I mean via settings- security-screen lock you have to create your access code isn't it? and it doesn't work there even pattern and password. thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Okay, now it's clear. Unfortunately I can't do something about it. Must be the LineageOS source.

As I said, it is still at the beginning. We have to wait.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
[MENTION=9489673]mernurisha[/MENTION] , no problem my friend thank you very much.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TartempionVD:
Ephemeral shortcuts

Hello everyone,

Thanks for this version of Android 11. However, I have a little problem with the shortcuts. They disappear after a restart for applications moved in external memory on the SD card. On the other hand, the shortcuts of the applications installed in internal memory remain. Can anyone help me?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] wood777fly:
I realise that this might be the wrong thead to post my question but I cannot find a more suitable one. I have an s7edge motherboard that I have had to wipe the nand. In other words nothing on the phone except download screen and Samsung LOGO. I want to flash a custom Rom with JODIN but as there is no longer a PIT file any thing I try to flash will fail or is there a PIT file included in a custom rom download?? Regards
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] halloo13:
Is this Rom working on the GT-I9195 (without the I at the end) ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
No
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] 8ur74:
Does it work on GT-I9195 T? because Lineage 16.0 works fine on it, just showing/seeing it as regular GT-I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] milanche012:
I am not sure, but I believe it doesn't work on I9195T (I9195T - CPU/dual-core Krait 300 1.7MHz 32bit, GPU/Adreno 305; I9195I - CPU/quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 1.2MHz 64bit, GPU/Adreno 306). Can someone confirm these specs and also my hypothesis. In the end, you can try it... maybe whit a room for I9195 (without the "I")
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
I got only a vibration and the screen unlocks and the "top menu bar" is restarting. I got no camera, and no "cannot connect to camera" error.

- October 2021 security update
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
Thanks a lot, GPS is fine, I got my location back! :) I will test it more, tomorrow!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
Thank you mernurisha for your work. The ROM is almost perfect.

Camera has bugs. Installing OpenCamera solves the problem.

OpenGApps slows down the system. BiTGApps makes the system very fast.

I hope my comments will be useful.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
GPS is working and better than two releases ago! I got 0 lock in the previous build, but 0913 version is good! :)

EDIT: I got plenty locked satellites, but NO gps position. I was on a plain, so no obstacles were there.

I walked a km and nothing happened: NO GPS lock. :( So I still cannot use GPS reliably.

I noticed that the sms service is slow, when the phone is left screen locked, sms doesn't come. When I open the screen, suddenly I got plenty of smses. Weird. Battery saver is off.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
That some people have problems with the GPS, I can not explain.

I will today upload another rom to test (crDroidAndroid). I use the build for a few days now and GPS works fine for me.

The issue with sms reception delay is in my opinion due to the AOSP source. This is known since Android 10. I always use the sms app from google.

Edit:

crDroidAndroid-11.0-20211017-serranovelte-v7.11

After the fresh installation of the new build, the GPS lock may take some time.

After that goes quickly.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
I did a full system/data format and I put up a 17.1. SNR is not so high, I have to wait a few seconds (or minutes, check photo) but then it is working.

I will test more tomorrow. I got same SNR in the 18.1 too.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ScanX:
I have zero problems with LOS 18, great job!

But I'm still tempted by your CRDroid version. Just for fun, I'll install it. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
Update: I am switching OFF my phone for the night. Therefore every morning gps location searching is slow. But then it is okay in the latest version. Maybe that's why the slow initial location finding...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Thanks mernurisha for the new update. :) I just flashed LinageOS Octobe build.

I still see occasional problems with camera (the weird camera signal in Telegram, sometime "crash" of camera which causes a plain dark screen on Signal or an error message in "Open Camera" (see attached screenshot). I tried your trick with clearing storage/cache of the "Open Camera" when this occurs but it seemed to not help? Reboot helps always. The crashes seem to happen randomly, at least I haven't noticed a pattern so far.

Regarding GPS: for me it works fine in your LineageOS 18 ROM. :) It takes some time to find initial signal but that has been like this in all phones I've used so far with Android OpenSource (without Google location service etc). So I think it is "normal" in this ROM. :)

I found however that the first GPS location is faster when the data connection is on (maybe the phone does an update of satelite positions or something?) so maybe this can help some people here having problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ScanX:
I used crDroid now 4 days. Works very well!

Thus, I can't contribute to the troubleshooting that some have, unfortunately, because I can't reproduce any of it.

Edit:

I don't use gapps. Maybe that makes the difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Rubor.:
Does the wifi, camera, bluetooth work with this rom ???
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DarkVeider:
Is it possible use this room without root?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
As far as I know: Yes, it is possible.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kissmiasma95:
Is there a simple way to get MicroG working properly on the CrDroid rom? Background location and SMS are not able to be checked. Would probably use it as a daily driver if this could be fixed. Thanks in advance everyone!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] anarchist912:
It says I have a GT-I9515I on the back of the device. (Engraved behind the back covering)

However, when I use

TWRP-3.4.0-0-serranovelte or

TWRP-3.5.2_9 (as linked above)

The device stays offline in adb (Linux XUbuntu 21.10, latest platform-tools), no matter how often I restart the device and/or the adb server, or which USB Port / cable I use. Using a TWRP for serranovelte

xx

(https://dl.twrp.me/serranoveltexx/) shows the device in recovery mode in adb when booting in TWRP, but I couldn't sideload any serranovelte images.

It says something like:

Couldn't sideload.
This image is for serranovelte, serranoveltexx. This device is .

Any hints, like

- how can I find out which device I truly have?

- are there any other versions of TWRP i could try?

- are there any other ROMs known to work?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
@anarchist912 go to settings-about the phone

there you can see what type of phone you have
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Nokono:
Both are the same.

Solve the issue with your linux.

No need in sideload if you have twrp installed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
GT-I9515I or GT-I9195I ?!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] anarchist912:
Oh, nooo, you are right. It is a GT-I9195I. You are gold! Thank you.

But then it should work.. hmm

Update:

I managed to flash LineageOS 16.0, as described here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-9-0-0-unofficial-lineageos-16-0-serranovelte-gt-i9195i.3958381

Not with adb sideload, but with an OTG USB storage. The .zip of the 17.1 somehow could not be copied to the device, but the 16.0 finally worked.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DarkVeider:
How do you do it? I installed this version and I have root access
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
In one sentence:

Download Magisk, and hide your root from applications! https://magiskmanager.com/

There is no native root option for LineageOS.

You can switch ADB root access on and off via Developer Options, as always. (Repeatedly tap the build number in Settings->About over and over again, to reveal this normally hidden menu option.)

But for general root access by apps, you would need to install a 3rd party solution, and the way to enable/disable it would be defined by that 3rd party.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ugynok:
Thanks @mernurisha for your work! With the newest (and previous) rom, there is some GPS bug. In 17.1: perfect. I got 0 usable sat in 18.1 :( Any idea?! I dirty upgraded from 17.1, but a clean 18.1 is the same as this:

Update: Enabled wifi search in the location settings, and finally I got SNR and GPS lock too! Wow!

Hi

just to report, it seems to me the last relese lineage-18.1-20211120-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte is more laggy in games and battery seems to drain faster.

Just in case. For now I rollback to june release.

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] xxStingrayxx:
Hi, I have a problem. I have three I9195I phones and each has ROM 18.1. Incoming sms only appear when I wake up the phone and sometimes only when I open the sms app, which is a more common problem. I have tried it with other sim and sending sms from other phones.

Since the phone is used daily and is acceptable for its reasonable size, please could this problem be solved.

With best wishes for a nice holiday thank you and happy new year. Thank you for your work.

PS: When i lock the phone and I have opened sms app before and then close and lock the phone. Sometimes 2 min. it works. Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
This is known since android 10. Is not a rom issue, is due to the AOSP source. Likewise, the alarm function of the built-in clock.

Use other messaging app (I use from google).

Good luck and Happy New Year
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] lukl:
Thank you Merinusha for your work. The phone feels very elegant and smooth with your rom. However, i am experiencing an issue with the 20211120 and 20211214 build, which is not present in the 20211013 build: The camera is rotated and the torch is greyed out, while the flash in the camera app is still working. It is the same problem that occurred in lineageos-17.1 with the december build.

My phone runs TWRP-3.6.0_9 and is encrypted. A standard whipe was performed before installation. Is there anyone else experiencing those issues and are there any suggestions on how to fix that?

Thanks and happy new Year!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
After encryption, restart the device once. This is important.

Happy New Year.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kissmiasma95:
I am unable to shoot video on the stock camera app. Says something about high framerate and slow motion, but I see no way to disable that. In Telegram X, it works fine although stretched out in live preview. Thanks for a great rom!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Thanks mernurisha for the December update. Just did a "dirty flash" from the october version and it works. I don't have problems with camera (rotated, torch not working). I also have the problem with stock camera app not making videos (it says resolution to high for slow motion video). I cannot set the slow motion below 60 FPS or deactivate it, so no video with stock camera app possible. However, I usually use "Open Camera" from F-Droid and there I can still do videos.

One bug I noticed (already in previous builds): WIFI tethering seems not to work. I cannot activate it in the settings (switch button is grey). However, with USB cable tethering is possible. Is there a way to fix this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Rubor.:
@mernurisha No plans for a version of android 12 for the GT-I9195I?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Stock camera app will never work properly on LineageOS. Many framework files need to be edited, which makes no sense.

WIFI tethering works here. Maybe the dirty flash is the reason that does not work for you.

There are still many changes to be made in LOS source until everything works for our device. This can take time.

Hi @mernurisha

Just flashed the januar updage, works well. I also got WIFI tethering working. The problem sat in front of the screen: the data save mode was active so I couldn't activate WIFI tethering. When I deactive data safe mode the WIFI tethering can be activated. :)

Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
The first page is edited for android 12. You can now test the first LineageOS 19.0 build.

Some bugs are to be expected because this is still very early stage.

- Selinux is permissive

- Button backlight

- Livedisplay

Hello mernurisha

I was running lineage-18.1-20211214-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte since last year without any problems, today I flashed on top the January 2022 Security Update lineage-18.1-20220122-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte and now the External MicroSD card is not anymore recognized (corrupted SD card) but in TWRP (TWRP-3.6.0_9-serranovelte) recovery mode, MicroSD is working well.

Thank you,

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Wow very exciting that you managed to port Android 12 to our S4 MIni!

I hope it will get stable, as it's my daily driver I'll stick meanwhile on Android 11. Will you still provide security fixes for Android 11 as long as Android 12 is alpha state? Is the wireless screen transfer in Android 12 working? (that was one of the little things that I noticed not working in Android 11 (phone was always rebooting during the connection attempt)).
