Deep Black Edition (fake leather) ROM compatibility - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
is this "deep black" (as it is called in europe), the version with this fake leather backside, also compatible with roms?
I find it listed as "deep black" or "deep black VF" , but without version number. It has the dual core, but a larger screen.
Most Roms like Cyanogen, Carbon or Miui are compatible with
GT-I9190
GT-I9192
GT-I9195
Can anyone conrifm this "deep black 1,7 GHz dual core, 4,3" screen" version is as compatible as the GT-I9195?

Is the same phone . What is different in rom is cache.img.ext4 that contains some small modifications ( new ringtones , black wallpapers and a boot animation )
So if u want to install a rom from "non black" edition on a black phone NO PROBLEM it will work
Model number is the same is not changed .
BUT to buy now an new S4 mini normal is not worth it.
U should look for GT-I9195I is the quad core variant S4 Mini Plus

but i see people having problems with the i9195i.
besides, is the quad core 1,2 really faster or just a marketing gag since people always want more cores, more mega pixel, more display etc? a thread running on the dual core will be faster than on the quad. is the android os itself optimized for 4+ cores? i am not a multi tasking whore, i just want miui or carbon on a small phone. this one is as big as i am willing to go.

Given those specs I find it unlikely to happen, maybe for an a31 or a RK3188
Is it a 7 inch tablet? I think there is cyanogen but you have to mod/build per device as there is loads of allwinners generic tablets, basically figure out your touchscreen device and flash extra file, however all info is in Chinese and Russian forums so I personally gave up with Google translate, my tab decided to boot loop for no reason and wipe coach or reset factory doesn't help so I'm screwed, as I can't find model number and found page with over 100 different stock firmwares for diff brands, BTW the tabs can look the same, mine is a pink 7" I got for my niece, having to send back as reason above

[BuyingIn1hour]Should i go for this or the S5 mini?

Hello, i have to order a phone in the next hour to replace my S2. The S5 mini cost 100 more but maybe it's worth? I dunno..
Originally i'd like to get a dual sim phone, looks like S4 mini has such a version but hard to find and probably not much custom rom if any..

At the moment there's no custom Rom for s5 but maybe there will be some later and the s5 is faster.
But the stats aren't really better

of course s5 mini !!!!!!! ... basic reason is that its newer !! .. i wish i could have your chance :silly:
Go with the S4 Mini! It rocks! More value for money! Cheap. More mods. Better looking.
How aggressive is Knox on the S5 Mini?
Just remember, the S5 Mini has an Exynos chip, and Samsung does not have a good track record on releasing sources for those. So there might not be any custom AOSP based roms for it. It also lacks OpenGL 3 support, whatever that will mean for future Android versions.
There aren't any big differences from the S4 Mini to the S5 Mini other than the fingerprint and 16GB ROM.

True, but 0.2 inches aren't much and water resistant is a plus but hey, it's a phone nit a water cloth

Well....... Far more resolution is not actually that true since the S4 Mini uses a full RGB matrix and the S5 Mini the crappy pentile matrix. I take the S4 Minis display any day over the S5 Minis, even though the S4 Minis is a qHD. It's more pleasing to the eye and less pixilated!
Just like S4 Mini the S5 Mini too has some variants.
3G International - Uses exynos 3 chipset(3470) 4 X Cortex A7 @ 1.4GHz + Mali 400MP4 GPU - By far ugliest and creepiest chipset with no guarantee of kernel sources.
LTE International - May be the same exynos 3 chipset. If not then most likely snapdragon 400. Then just like I9195 this will be flooded with custom roms.
3G Dual Sim - Snapdragon 400 4 X Cortex A7 @ 1.4GHz + Adreno 305. Good chipset with a lot of support. But I think just like I9192 aosp roms will be very less for this S5 Mini.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo or LG G2 mini

Hi everybody,
Which phone is better Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo or LG G2 mini? Tomorrow I will buy one of these two but I do not know which?
Thanks for help
S3 Neo !
Reasons:
1. Display resolution ( 720x1280 vs 540x940 )
2. Screen technology ( AMOLED vs LCD )
3. RAM ( 1.5GB vs 1GB )
4. Storage ( 16GB + SD vs. 8GB )
5. Processor clock ( 1.4GHz vs 1.2GHz )
6.NFC
If you're looking for better screen , processor and memory yu should go for s3 neo but if you want to play around with your device and install custom roms lg g2 mini will be a wiser choice because s3 neo is not yet that popular so as a result not a big dev support
Hope i could help , best regards
Not true, there is no big dev support for lg g2 mini
If you mean lollipop support or something ... it will be on s3 earlier than you think

I meant that the lg g2 mini is a couple of months older and got more custom roms than our s3 and it seems like afther a couple of months of creating a forum dedicated to the s3 neo there are almost no devloppers who are interested in this device exept for you sir which I am grateful for
Best regards

Is possible to port worse TW lollipop to S4 Mini ?

Samsung says memory limitations. hmm, why a3 2015 has lollipop ? A3 HAS 1GB RAM. 2 cores not has problems to run lollipop.
Why I'm say worse ? Samsung's all devices, only S4 mini and s3 neo has Snapgragon 400. but s3 neo has 720p display, s4 mini has 540p display.
Yea, great developer edit s3 neo lollipop port rom to had compatible qHD display. but s3 neo has cortex a7, s4 mini has krait 300
But I don't know who is succesfully ported 5.1 to s3 neo. note 3 neo has 720p but has exynos ???
Next device is A3 2015 but it has 64-bit cpu. blablabla...
Possible ?

i'm unable to understand devs here in s4 mini section , they dont even try , and not even respond when its about it !
there must be a way to do it , do you know any turo on how to port lollipop to kitkat devices ?
Maybe the only way to do that will be creating from cm sources with an existing ROM with another skin. Time ago, when I got my galaxy ace I tried a ROM that was a jellybean port, that was far from TW 2.X look and feel.

adityapal(adizmayazal) tried it but as far as I know unfortunately he got too many force closes, issues
J2 is worse device than s4 mini. Than J2 has exynos 3. I don't know

the system of the Samsung TouchWiz and wonderful it would be really nice if by cm code could pull off a 6.0 tw must recreate a kernel using cm code and the operative part of a s5 32bit taking just enough like the Samsung app panel tiles the dialer contacts the settings panel the music player and the gallery would be fantastic removing the fingerprint sensor and all the other things that a stock s4 not has a beautiful rom would come and certainly turned better than KitKat well optimized with marshmallow

you can not take the base of s5 and developing an area compatible with our new cyanogen mod comes out when you do not take the google code and spread to most of the devices can not do the same with TouchWiz from a new kernel
