I have now also experienced this. Will be fixed In the next build.

This ROM is only for GT-I9195I (serrano velte)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] internetzel:
This thread is about the i9515i which is not compatible with the i9515 (without the final i). Are you sure the firmware from here is suitable for your device?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] !SINGH!:
I have flicked myself in the head... and blame it on the meds i'm on.

DUH!

So.. I guess it's 18.1 as the latest for the stock i9195 LTE International and i9505 LTE

Is the I9195I a different model to the i9195 LTE International model?

I even have a few i9300 and i9305's So will flash them up

Thanks folks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] internetzel:
Yes, the i9195i has a different SOC (CPU + peripherals); so the core of the device is different but the rest nearly the same as the i9195.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Theboringone:

Greetings
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] !SINGH!:
Thanks guys.

So I am right, it is 18.1 last version done for the 9195

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Theboringone:
@ !SINGH!,

if you mean the I9195I -the last version for the I9195I is - thanks mernurisha - 19.1

Is there a model with that name 9195 (without the " I ") - I don`t think so?

Greetings
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Theboringone:
@ all

If I do a dirty flash (July security patch for 19.1) would it be beneficial to back up specific partitions or all partitions and restore them after the flash?

Unfortunately I don't have time for a complete reinstall including all apps at the moment :-(

Can you please give me a tip. I'm already on version 19.1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ffox.pl:
You're right. Apps freeze, crash, and sometimes even hang without battery charging as well. There are instances when the phone becomes unresponsive and requires a reset.

I'm using the version lineage-18.1-20220815-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte, where everything works smoothly and swiftly. All newer versions, including the latest one, have the same issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Djoussama:
Hii mernurisha I need to fix encryption for android 12L for s4 mini GTi9195i also my phone is not protected and android security patch is in 2017 need to update please help me or I'm going to downgrade on android 11 cuz I see clean nothing problem in linage 18.1
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Djoussama:
I flashed this room for myself I see sd same problem but just eject and mount sd it worked but one thing the encryption android 12 is not protected and android security patch is in 2017 need to update
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hluehring1:
Hi everyone, I'm running the latest Los 18.1 (lineage-18.1-20230618) and everything looks good so far. Seems very stable and no freezing or crashed yet. Will continue testing, and inform if anything pops up. Cheers, HenryL

New CarbonROM based on android 11 to download here.

- September 2023 Security patch

Lineage rom will come later.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] boostmehacker:
Cool. If it is possible and if you want to do it, can you do pixel experience? As you can't download the version that you already did
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Hi mernurisha,

cool that you keep up your work on our S4 Mini! :)

I have two questions:

1. Will you skip the LinageOS and now focus on CarbonROM?

2. Is SELinux working with this ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
1. The main goal is of course the LinageOS. CarbonROM is only for people who want to try something different.

2. Yes
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TheRealRalf:
I discovered an "interesting" BUG, I guess.

The audiobook-player "Voice" isn't playing m4b-audiobooks over 1GB in lineage-18.1-20230618-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip but CARBON-CR-9.0-R-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte-20231009-1158.zip is working fine.

Can anybody confirm this?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TheRealRalf:
Another thing to check:

GPS isn't working on my device under CARBON-CR-9.0-R-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte-20231009-1158.zip but under lineage-18.1-20230618-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] TheRealRalf:
Hi Everybody,

after long consideration I've decided to switch devices now.

Anybody from Germany has interest in any of my three S4 please PN.

And Dear @mernurisha thx a lot for your long efforts 🙏 I really appreciate your commitment to sustainability! (y)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] BigOneT:
@mernurisha wooow Carbon rom runs very good !!! Please more updates of this awesome rom !

With Smart Pixels 🤗👍

and is there a PayPal Donation Link? I want to donate for your great work! 😍
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Thank you for your offer.

Just pressing the thank you button is enough.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] darcstar:
Hi all,

today, I seen that the image from mernurisha (Thanks a lot) is a GSI (Treble Info) so I tried to use different images from phhusson list (system...blubb...arm32_binder64-ab.img.xz) but all fails.

I tried both to flash via heimdall and to use TWRP (switching the original system.new.dat.br in the lineage-image.zip, before switching I had to use brotli to compress the GSI-blubb.img).

After update, TWRP cannot mount the system_root.

What format has the system.img from mernurisha? It seems different from the GSI-blubb.img files....

Cheers

Tom
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] BigOneT:
you can't install a GSI, because you need a vendor partition, that partition cames only with Android 8.1.

For the Galaxy S4 we can only use "custom roms" not GSI!

New Carbonrom with November-2023 security update.

CARBON-CR-9.0-R-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte-20231204-1239

Full wipe is recommended !!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] darcstar:
Thanks for clarifying.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] darcstar:
Can I provide any assistance in updating the Lineage rom? I am very interested in continuing to use the i9195i, if possible with newest software :-)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
I will upload a new update of los-18.1 in the next few days.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] darcstar:
Thanks a lot.

I was actually serious about my offer. If I can help, I would like to do that. Also in the future.

Is LOS 19.1 dead or will you have time to update later?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mernurisha:
Thanks for your offer.

There will be no more Android 12 from me. And as I said, Android 11 for the very last time in the next few days.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] darcstar:
I cannot find any thank you button...Which button do you mean?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] miccca:
hit the like button my friend
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ScanX:
But Carbon (also A11) will continue?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] chrischa:
Is there a way, you could provide your local changes compared to the repo you mentioned in the OP, like a patch, or a new github repo?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] elsd78:
@mernurisha: Thank you for all your work in keeping alive small and handy devices like the S4 mini !

I recently switched from the I9195 to the I9195I because of some mobile network issues. Always using microG instead of GApps, I was happy to see that there is signature spoofing support in your LOS18 out of the box.

Unfortunately, the signature spoofing support has gone in the recent november update (lineage-18.1-20231126-UNOFFICIAL-serranovelte.zip). Also NanoDroid patcher is not working on that rom.

Could you please check if it is possible to include the signature spoofing again ? Thank you so much !
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rom4nb:
Hi Mernurisha,

I just noticed now that LineageOS 18.1 was also updated to November 2023 security patch (link in post on page 1 of this thread). I've just updated it (from March 2023 security patch via "dirty flash" just wiping cache and Dalvik cache) and seems to work fine so far.

Thanks a lot for your continuing support for our S4 Mini! You are amazing.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] RobinVR:

The possibility of releasing a version of Android 12 for the regular S4 mini GT i9195?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
This thread is for GT i9195i, the Value Edition of S4mini. Considering the age and limited resources of all S4mini, Android 12 may be too much; but Android 11 is available, here:

[ROM][I9190/I9192/I9195/L520/R890][Unofficial][11.0.0] LineageOS 18.1 for S4 Mini

The phone that never dies, gets a new Android version yet again. Samsung only gave it Android 4. Lineage gives it Android 11. A whopping amount of 7 newer versions than the last official one it came with. This time I can present a usable build...

xdaforums.com
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] GalaxyS5Fan:
Hi, I've installed the latest LOS 18.1 (Android 11, build 2024 Feb 18) but now I've got some issues:

After setting up the device, I can't download anything from the browser, once I start the download, the browser crashes.

I noticed the stock file manager doesn't show literally any file, not even the LOS zip I loaded on the internal storage.

The camera fails to save the pictures, and the screenshots taken cannot be saved too.

Connecting the phone to PC doesn't show the internal storage.

I also used the OpenGApps 11, stock version with a configuration file to exclude many apps
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] KarlS08:
Weird. I have not tried to use this rom with Gapps, only with microg, and then all apps work, and the camera also works. Have you tried reflashing the rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] chrischa:
Hi @mernurisha, i was try to get rid of some persist issues in the logcat.

They are concerning the start of the two vendor binaries: netmgrd and adsprpc.

I've checked the repo https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/proprietary_vendor_samsung and assume now, that your LOS_18 build is based upon the 17.1 branch, because these to vendor binaries are removed in the 18.1 branch.

I guess, it would be better, to use the already updated parts of the 18.1 branch. What do you thinks?

I now saw, the locations of the binaries just changed within the repository.

I will further investigate this.

PS: I sent you a pn.

Best regards,

chrischa
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimmy9013:
i'm interested in trying to continue this work as well @mernurisha

is there a github repo where your current configs are kept?

@darcstar have you tried a build yourself?

@chrischa have you started a github repo?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimmy9013:
lol apologies for not seeing that :)

i guess the 19.1 config is similarly simple and uses the standard build tools?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] elsd78:
I discovered a strange behaviour on the LOS18 ROM:

After pressing Volume up, Volume down and Power buttons at the same time, the phone will reboot after about 45 seconds. Because the Volume buttons are placed opposite to the Power button, this can be triggered accidently while holding the phone with two fingers (or in the pocket). And it can also happen accidently when one wants to take a screenshot with the new Volume down & Power-gesture (which by itself is also annoying, because it can be triggered also accidently).

Steps to reproduce:

- Disable touch vibration (just to feel the vibration, the reboot will be triggered anyways)

- Press and hold Volume up + Volume down, then also press Power -> the phone will vibrate shortly

- After approx. 45 seconds, the phone will reboot when locking/unlocking the phone next time. If the display is switched off within the 45 seconds and the phone is sleep/doze mode afterwards, the later reboot will be slower, probably because the system is still not on full speed.

The reboot of the OS is taken place directly, without going down to the bootloader (no cold boot). Also, there is no need to enter PIN of the SIM once again.

I tested all GT-I9195I LOS18 builds since 2022-08-15, fresh clean install on different devices, the bug was always there. I also tried it on LOS17, there it does not happen.

Can anybody confirm the bahaviour ? Is there a workaround ?

Regards,

Jakob

PS: I include a logcat of the trigger and some 50 seconds afterwards. Also, I found a crash report for /vendor/bin/hw/vendor.lineage.livedisplay@2.0-service.samsung-qcom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] yann81:
Hi, I just wanted to do a big hug to the developper(s).

I installed LOS 19.1 on my damn old S4 Mini a few days ago. Not a single issue til now, good battery duration, nice settings, etc.

Many thanks for this great work !!

I tried this one too, works fine, but Mindthegapss installs without errors with TWRP, but gapps don't work, everything with clean install
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Theboringone:
Hello mernurisha,

thank You for the new Lineage 21.0 Version for the S4 Mini Serranovelte!!!

You are the best developer for the best small Smartphone with LTE 4G!!!!

Please stay one to fight against the waste of raw materials and maintain perfectly functioning cell phones!

Theboringone - I think I have to change my name ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] AJScorpio:
First: thanks for the great new Version 21 for the S4 mini!

I tried it out and it works great - except for one thing: I can't send SMS!

In the signalstrenght-icon there shows an exclamation mark, which stands for disabled data-transfer. However, receiving SMS oder Email oder doing some search in the internet or the banking software (using magisk of course) everything works fine!? In the settings menue for the Internet the button for SMS is grayed out, so I can't do any checkup there (the provider by the way ist Vodafone) Is there anything I can do about it?

Ah, and one thing more. Of course before installing the new los21 I made a TWRP-Backup of the previously Version LOS19.1. The restore of the 19.1-Backup stopped at about 96% with a TWRP-Error 255, which seems to be a root-problem? The BAckup of the LOS21 however could be restored without any problems.

Are there any workarounds for that?

Once again: thanks for the great work and your help!

Yours Andreas
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JFK1975:
I've seen on downloads page empty folder without

TWRP-3.7.0_9-serranovelte file.​

Is new twrp version necessary for upgrading to los 21 ?

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] BigOneT:
I haven't changed anything. I used the same TWRP as before!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] asd100:
V19.1

Is there only a NEW full installation possible?

No update function with having the apps installed from previous 19 version (20220612 to 20230713)

For example the Thread lineageOS for Sony Xperia X says:

LineageOS update/upgrade:

Download the latest build of LineageOS ROM

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Flash the latest LineageOS ROM zip from the Recovery

Every additional zip you want to flash (optional)

Reboot
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] MrGoodtunes:
Although mernurisha recommends clean new flash every time, I have had success dirty flashing over previous install. Still, I suggest the following if you have time and feel a need for peace of mind:

(1) Create a TWRP backup of your current system (every partition)

(2) Clean flash new system (to see new features, etc.)

(3) Restore your backup from (1) above

(4) Dirty flash new system (wiping only cache, Dalvik)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] asd100:
@ MrGoodtunes

Ok, that make sense. thanks.

@ mernurisha

Will there be an update for 19.1 in the near future?

In the first post you say Last Updated 2024-02-18 but that is only for 18.1

That confused me a bit, perhaps you can specify this that's only the 18.1 in first post ;)

What functioins I don't have in the 18.1, in case, when mernurisha don't update the 19.1., I've to downgrade.

OR do any other have problems with SMS function in 21.0 ?

I need this, then 21 will be not an option for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] nofishonfriday:
Does this have microG/signature spoofing support?

(I read Lineage added it by default.)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimmy9013:
thank you @mernurisha ! was it easy to build ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] chrischa:
Sorry for replying so lately. I still somehow receive no notifications if I got quoted or mentioned... It's strange.

I forked @mernurisha s repos and got it to built yes, but I somehow don't get the rom to boot yet. But to be honstest, I did spent not much time investigating this, because I had none.

What I can tell you is, I was not able to connect via ADB to check the logs, even if the phone booted to Welcome Wizard and all the properties in the build.prop for ADB were set and the adb_key.pub was placed in the right location (this should not make a difference, because of the properties).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] asd100:
so V21 have sms send issue.

hopefully there will be a new v19.1 soon
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] GalaxyS5Fan:
I've retried reinstalling the ROM with MindTheGapps instead and it worked like a charm!

@mernurisha is there a possibility for making the 'Galaxy Wearables' work without using root or magisk? This app that doesn't want to run in this rom without ROM, so I can't really connect my smartwatch to the S4 mini. I also have another app (Mynexuzhealth), and it gives an error because it checks safetynet. Google Wallet, my banking app and national ID app all work.

Otherwise nice ROM overall!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimmy9013:
yes i am having SMS sending issue as well, anyone else?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimmy9013:
thanks for the reply @chrischa have you tried @mernurisha 's new 21 build? it seems there might be an SMS issue with it but apart from that it's wonderful
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] jimmy9013:
i am able to receive SMS and RCS messages with the 21 build but not send them @mernurisha

i've tried a lot of workarounds i found online but nothing has worked so far
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] BigOneT:
Yes, I have the same sms issue!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] chrischa:
I honestly just gave it a quick try, checked if I can reproduce your problems. I did not check the SMS feature. But I tried to get rid of the warning concerning the mobile network connectivity. I tried to configure my apn manually but this didn't fix the issue.

So I went back to try to build a running LOS18.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] chrischa:
Hi all, I found a workaround for the issue with the two services not starting:

vendor.netmgrd

vendor.adsprpcd

For vendor.netmgrd my assumption is:​

The vendor blob is maybe outdated. I found a different one: https://github.com/denakor/android_vendor_samsung_gtelwifiue/blob/cm-13.0/proprietary/bin/netmgrd which allows the service to be started. I currently try to get the service starting, facing some SElinux denials.

For vendor.adsprpcd, I assume:​

The msm-8916 devices don't support ADSPRPC because in none of the kernel configs the flag for ADSPRPC is set. So I just commented out the service within the init.target.rc

#service vendor.adsprpcd /system/vendor/bin/adsprpcd
# class main
# user media
# group media

Both changes can be done in TWRP after mounting /system

Mernurisha, I have finally time to flash the February version from Lineage 18.1. Thank you so much for the past years that you kept our devices up-to-date until the very end of lifecylce of Android 11! So amazing. :) I really enjoyed the past years with my S4 Mini thanks to your work!

Unfortunately, small devices like the S4 Mini are not found anymore and for daily driver I might need to consider in the next future to move on to one of the "more current large and still no headphone plug devices".

Has anyone experience with LineageOS 18.1 February 2024 security patch version and charging when the device is switched off? Since I did the upgrade (dirty flash just wiping cache + dalvik) and when I plug in the usb-cable to the switched off phone, the phone gets stuck at the image of the battery with the charging symbol (no charging status screen as usual). I can only fix it by removing the battery, then the phone reboots normally.
