Your recommendations on Samsung I9192 Galaxy S4 mini Duos - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really like what i read on this amazing device , i would like to buy it in the next couple of days ,but i really need your recommendation on couple of things :
1- Battery life :
most of the review i read , tested the I9090 , it did ok in my opinion , but someone pointed out to me that the i9092 my drain battery due to the dual sim and it has double antenna ,
2- Battery life/ custom roms :
i took a quick look over the original android development sub-forum , and i'm not sure if there's a bug free rom , what i mean dual sim is the essential reason for, i'm buying this device
so if by flashing custom roms to have better battery life (Win), and a buggy second sim (lose) , what your thoughts on that ? is there any stable roms ?
3- Original roms :
can you provide some insight on 4.2.2/4.4.2 , battery performance
4.4.2 isn't released to my country yet , just a couple of patches for 4.2.2
i wouldn't mind flashing another 4.4.2 rom
Here is the catch , i do a 24 hours shifts , sometime up to 30 Hours , i must have the phone by me at all the time ,i take many calls ,i move a lot ,and i can't just put it to charge .
i will outlast the phone , or it will outlast me
best of regards :angel:
I really appreciate your help on this

Any help , guys

first the i9192 variant behaves in battery life same as i9190 !! the only thing in the kernel battery drain issue and its fixed by flashing silviu's kernel for i9192
-for custom roms we have until now a s5-styled rom by ploiki \ adityapal \ shawn killer KITKAT... also we have no-knox full stock rom JELLY BEAN \ KITKAT by silviu and also thanks to k2wl and f4k we have stable cm11 carbon rom for i9192 with dual sim ... lollipop is WIP
- battery life is very good

What is the best Rom phone i9195?

Hello everyone
What is the best Rom phone galaxy s4 mini GT-i9195?
?????
There isn't a "best rom for galaxy s4 mini". Its about which suits you best.
Depending what you want....there are not "best" rom...
You want a good stock without problem ? You have ploiki's rom with Alexax66 kernel...
You want a good LP custom ? You have Resurrection Remix Lollipop ...
You want the stable simplicity , "old school" with holo ? Last release of cm11 is for you..
I know these sort of posts aren't really allowed, but I always like to hear what people "think" are the best. Personally I HIGHLY recommend Lombartz CM11 and his "lite" version of kernel. Very fluid, and latest security fixes.

Yes...generally it's totally disrespectful for devs...and forbidden by xda.
But that depend what's the state of mind of the question...
And we ALL want the best stability and great battery life because our phone became very very mportant in our own life . The biggest majority of peoples don't want at all to be "beta testers" ...
==> imagine that you want to call in "full emergency", or absolutely need internet ,for very important things, must need gps(you are lost!)....and this sh** of hell of.... phone don't want to call ,fc,reboot itself ..etc....or big battery drain ,don't go to deepsleep.... ===>phone totally inefective !!!
Imagine.....
According to my own experience :
Samsung Stock : scStock + Alexax66's Kernel
Custom Kitkat : Official CM11 + F4k's Kernel + open gapps
Custom Lollipop : AICP 10.0 (F4k's kernel already included) + TK gapps
By the way, my respect for all devs who share their knowledge and efforts to the delight of everyone.
Yesss..... :angel:
Always show all the recognition and love to all devs :good:
For me ,i fell in love of Resurrection Remix LP for his stability, pitsh-black and options...
But i pray so much for last 5.5.9 release :fingers-crossed: ...and wait for Alexax66 kernel(because this rom suck more battery ) ^^
I meet the same pb on my mini LTE
not sur that this phone is strong enough to use a LL ROM
I meet multi reboot with the AICP 10 and would like to know if it will be better to downgrade to a KK one and wich one

false
Lollipop & Marshmallow are not more "angry" than KK ...it's near the same resources...
And this S4mini is not a poor phone at all ! with 2×1.7 ghz core and 1.5 Go of ram ,very good chipset and enought power of gpu....it have great antutu score .
But LP periodicaly have some problem on source with cm development ,not enought stable during this year of LP ....and others customs use these sources .
But you can test this new RR MM 6 by Silesh Nair (see coms on RR thread ) and LP 5.5.8 work fine now
i think that this cm12.1 is correct NOW !!!! with his 1 year of development !!! :laugh: no ???!!! :silly:

[Q] Recommendation for the most stable S4 Mini ROM

Hello,
My GF's S4 Mini is 2 years old, not a single hard reset, with unrooted stock ROM.
She is happy with performance and with phone in general but battery is bust, it barely holds for 10 hours with light to medium use.
She uses her phone for WhatsApp, Messenger and occasionally taking some photos.
I am not sure though which version does she have. I can find out that later today but meanwhile I would be grateful for your advice.
It doesn't have to be the newest ROM version, it has to be reliable, with good battery and preferably with stock camera app.
Thank you!
There is no perfect rom. Keep the rom she is using. Change the battery , after 2 years is busted as u said
It could also be old problem that battery was draining fast even with 3g/wifi/gps OFF. That`s a motherboard problem that can be fixed by changing motherboard or with a custom kernel that have the fix implemented. Stupid thing is, after u install a custom kernel, u need to root phone and disable Knox apps or they will bother u. Search what version of S4 mini she have, what rom she have and start from there to search. I have for example some kernels with fixes for that problem, but first read on forums.
The above being said and valid...
... I find that this ROM: Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-20151026-serranodsdd
works pretty well for me. It is stable enough. You would have to root and stuff but its worth a try.

+1. RR LP 5.5.8 is very stable and battery friendly and also Blisspop 4.0.3 last two versions are good enough. BUT, in these 2 fantastic roms i have found a major bug (at least for me) that during incoming calls most of the times my contacts dont show up their names (only numbers) or sometimes very lately. I asked the devs about the problem but did not get any reply. So m back now to PAC rom KK 4.4.4, i used it for around 4 months continuously before i tried lollipop roms. Stable, good battery(05/01/2015 version) and hell lot of features.
N.B: The above is based on my experience only. It may very from person to person. And also it does not imply that other roms are worse or better, because i have not tried all of them.
What I have observed is temperature and the kernel have big impacts on battery drain. Stock 4.4. drains the battery much slower than 4.2., and the Cyanogenmod kernels also use up less juice than the stock roms.
the same
I have same issue. 2 or more years i9195 with stock 4.4.2 android. Battery drain is about 1%/hour at idle (sleep). When using it raises to 2-5%/hour. I want any other ROM or kernel that drains less battery. Please help
My phone has almost two years. Battery remains excellent. No tricks, such as calibration, etc.
In my experience the best ROM Stock based is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/gt-i9192-galaxy-s4-mini-duos-4-4-2-t2832673 .
I never installed another kernel, etc. in its use. I tried several ROMS CM based but always came back to this rom for stability, reliability, battery.
But lately I have been interested in Android M.
And I was already giving up again when I decided to use CM13 (feb / 21) by K2wl without GAPPS (Open GAPPS) or Custom Kernel.
My intention is to test CM13 in its purest possible code.
So far it has been amazing. No call issues, great battery (as in SilviuMik ROM). etc
I'm curious. Will this time be able to use a ROM CM based for more than two weeks without problems with Call and battery? If this happens it will be worth testing other GAPPS.

I do not think so. But this is not a problem. Just try the kernel to 95:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592308
I believe that all you need. I never got to use debloated version of this ROM. I'd rather do it manually.

I used the official CM12.1 nightlies (& kernal) for about a year on my I9195, in the first few months I did get almost weekly random restarts, as you might expect on a nightly, but towards year end almost none. Then I installed the last Snapshot YOG9 (or whatever) and didn't get a single reboot in months.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-s4-mini-t3100159
Currently I'm on an unofficial version of same CM12.1 that has latest monthly security updates patched (which will be built until a stable release of CM13 is out) as the official CM12.1 development has stopped due to CM13. I've not had a single crash or reboot on this CM12.1 ROM, so that's about 6mths with no problems all together.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...i9190-i9195-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightly-t3300836
My wife is on CM12.1 (NightOwl) too on her old Note N7000, she has not had a single problem in the 2mths since I installed it. So long story short I'd say almost any version of CM12.1 is now very stable (provided you clear caches etc when installing and don't load dodgy apps )
CM13 version not suggested yet?
The best choice is the updated CM12.1?

I have been using cm13 nightlies ever since it came out. Almost updated every new package. Since then i had to revert it twice. For me so far it's stable. Using it with gapps pico. But do nog use any extended cm13 roms like bliss or rr, as they are highly unstable, lagy and full of buggs.
Have a nice day to all. I have an i9192 (GT-I9192ZKAAFR, S4 mini DUOS) with the latest original I9192XXUBNB1 ROM and the CSC is I9192OJVBNB1 (AFR / Kenya / AE). I have to use this phone again and it is horrible. Often becomes hot and unresponsive. Sometimes just simply shutdown itself or reboot. That is why I moved to another phone but that is in service now. Otherwise this is an amazing little device. I decided that it is time to take steps towards to a more stable ROM. Phone has Knox and it is still 0x0. Manufactured in 2013 and bought in 2014 so support has definitely gone. Therefore I am not really keen on Knox status but would be great to keep 0x0.
I am a Hungarian user and I would like to use Hungarian language on the phone. I see some ROM recommendation here. Is that true for Hungarian language as well? What about different region, modem or so? Are these ROMs working on my device? Is it possible to revert my phone to any factory version? I am not familiar with flashing ROM on this phone but read some tutorials and more or less trained.
Hi,
I'm on Exodus (+ Gapps pico) & very happy by the quality of this rom. (I haven't tried many other roms though)

first time flashing a ROM and i can't decide

Hello i hope everyone is having a good day
i bought an LG G3 D850 few months ago it's running on Lollipop
I rooted it and installed TWRP costume recovory only thing left from what i understood is downloading the zip file and flash it . (let me know if i skiped a step )
only problems is that i can't chose which rom to flash .
i want a rom that provides best battery life for texting , i usually get 3.5 h to 4h SOT while texting with WIFI . 3h SOT while texting with 3g and browsing facebook .
i don't care much about performance in gaming because i don't play much games only need a rom with decent camera quality and can provide better SOT while texting like 6h or 5h or something if that's possible (seen someone on youtube saying u can get 6h sot texting with fulmics rom ) .
big thanks in advance..

It's best stock for battery. For battery customisation you can tweak with different kernels.
For custom ROM.. you can try resurrection its pretty good.

so the best thing to do is installing fulmics then search for karnel tweaks ?
I recommend "CleanROM" - its debloated stock rom with xceed kernel.

Just keep in mind that CleanROM is specifically labeled for D855 only. The OP has D850. It may work, I have no idea. But there is a lot of stories of people screwing up their phones by flashing incompatible ROMs...

First step is to flash fulmics. Kernel tweaking comes later if you are not satisfied with the stock kernel.
