Cyanogenmod 14 support? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How likely do you think it is that the I9195 will be officially supported by Cyanogenmod 14?
I really like this phone. I bought it because of its relatively small dimensions and the fact that it is still supported by cyanogenmod and it receives the latest updates. However my s4 mini is experiencing antenna problems that I'm unable to fix - the signal is unreliable so I have to buy a new phone. I'd like to buy another s4 mini however if it's not going to receive CM14 support then I'd rather buy something else.

It all depends on big brother @arco68
Considering that this is a midrange phone from 2013, it has had a remarkable run in terms of custom rom support.
Many did not expect this phone to get cm13. But arco got it working. So it is all down to arco. We are lucky to have
a developer like him working on our device. Lets hope he gives it a shot, when "N" is out. Lets keep our donations ready. :good: :fingers-crossed:

S4 mini i9192

Hey
I was thinking about new phone for my dad and i see i9192 s4 mini dual sim the best for him ..
Do you advice me to buy this phone and how is the overall performance of it ..?
Is there a lag in official rom ? Will it receive kit kat ?
The roms here for i9190 work on it ?.
Thank you.
If he does'nt need dual sim, you should probably get him i9190 / i9195
There are no custom ROM's available for i9192
KitKat update most probably has to come.

I would never advise this phone ever thought I have it. Samsung made a terrible dual sim implementation so far and the dev on it are reduce to root capabilities and eventually one custom kernel that will most likely void your warranty in the futur with the integration of the $^*รน$* Knox "Feature".
Do not buy this phone ever !
It's a good phone even with battery drain I can get full wotking day on a moderate work, email, whatsapp, phone calls with some twitter and Tapatalk in my spare time
The dual sim implementation it's not great but works very good 4/5 stars considering its a dualsim standby

How hard to port Android 5 Lollipop to SM-T520 (picassowifi)

Hello
As there is already a working CM11 for the picassowifi, is it hard to make a port of Android 5 Lollipop for the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1? Sources etc. should all be available or do I think bad?

CyanogenMod has not yet been converted, and this will most likely take at least a few weeks before it happens, after that it will be possible, but I'm not convinced any developer will have the time required in the short run. I would not expect to see anything during 2014.
Samsung confirmed to me in an email as i contacted support regarding 5.0 for the 10.1 device and was told that further updates will be made avail for the device. but wouldn't specify what or when

S4 Mini lollipop update

http://pic.youmobile.org/imgcdn/samsung_lol_eta_phones_list.jpg
What do you think how reliable is this source? According to this sheet we will get 5.0 in march to april.
Samsung has hell of a lot work to do. Because they have uncountable number of midrange devices. :laugh:
S4 Mini, S5 Mini, Galaxy A3, A5, A7, E5, E7, Grand 2, Note 3 Neo to name a few.
But certainly S4 mini and s5 mini will get in 2nd quarter of this year. :good: Once S6 is launched world wide.
http://www.androidsilverprogram.com/2014/07/List-Of-Smartphones-Getting-Android-L-update.html
At the bottom of the page is a list including the S4 Mini as well.
Although I still haven't received the 4.4.2 update in my region yet
Hoping for good things though :fingers-crossed:
Waiting........
Yup. Been checking every month this year and I haven't seen anything promised later than April. So it's crunch time! Really hoping it'll happen soon, I'm terribly annoyed by the limitation apps have writing to the sd card in any location other than their own folder. You all think that this will be different in lollipop?
i hope we get the 5.1 version straight, because 5.0 has issues
I hope this update.
Otherwise, i choose another manufacturer after years with Samsung.
I gave up the S5 Mini after realizing that has problems such as low-quality recordings (sounds captured with mic) compared the S4 Mini and the camera gets to be lower.
If this update happen I stand with Samsung and I will try a S6 Mini . Otherwise i give up Samsung.

S5 mini is a horrible device. No custom roms, no dev support because it has no source code, uses poor chipset and is priced like it is the best phone ever.
No wonder the price of that phone came down by 130$ in India within 20days of its launch.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Other Samsung handsets may have to wait a little longer, although we'd expect that most high profile devices released in the last 18 months to 2 years will get the update, including the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S5 Mini.
Let's hope the first release hasnt got all the issues the S4 firmware has/had.
Guys can anyone tell me if the stock lollipop , incase it exists, will have sdcard issues? Do i have to use sdfix or foldermount again??

Note 7 version for future Cyanogenmod builds

I will buy a note 7. I have 2 options to go for exynos or Qualcomm version. I would like your opinion about wich one has the best performance for games and wich one has the best possibility to receive a developer future Cyanogenmod 13 build. Thank you

Snapdragon beats exynos in terms of performance. Exynos beats snapdragon in terms of possibilities of cyanogenmod builds.

Yeah, i'm going to have to say that is backwards. Qualcomm is good for custom roms and mods while Exynos is the better performer.
Not Qualcomm's fault actually. Whichever phone US winds up getting will be harder to root because of the customary locked bootloaders US Telco overlords has decreed. I suspect in this case, as with the case of S7, is that Qualcomm's chip is harder to root because of the additional bootloader. Not because of the chipset. But I guess I shd have said if you aren't staying in the US, this doesn't apply. : )

So should I go for exynos variant of note 7 if I want a future Cyanogenmod build?
Enviado de meu SM-N920G usando Tapatalk
Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but either way, we don't get Cyanogen do we?
For Snapdragon the Bootloader is locked so the possibility of a custom Recovery and ROM are rather bleak to none, no? I mean what are the odds that another EngBoot leaks for the Note 7? And even with that, people seem to have had a nightmare after Rooting their phones? Plus no TWRP, yet, is there?
For Exynos the Bootloader is unlocked so that's great, however I hear that Samsung doesn't release the source to bake CM for those phones. I will take this option cause at least we could have stable Root and optimized TW ROMs for the phone like the S7 Edge?
Lastly, correct me if I am wrong again, but according to all benchmarks and video reviews isn't the Exynos battery and performance always better than SD? Except the SD GPU edges out?
You pretty much nailed it on all counts.
If you want Cyanogenmod, the Galaxy S7, S7 Edge, and Note 7 are not the phones for you.
Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
Can't you unlock the bootloader if the phone is payed off?
I payed off my S7 and called and had them unlock my bootloader on my phone. Won't that make it easier to root and install custom ROMs?
I'm asking because SP seems like the more likely candidate for Cyanogenmod. I also like Note 7 out of all the other android phones currently on the market. I'm a bit tempted on the Pixel XL, but the MicroSD and waterproof have it edging over the Pixel XL. I would like to think I could get the Note 7 from T-Mobile and then pay it off and when its payed off be able to install CM.
you will never have a working cm build for the note 7 or for any samsung phones for that matter..the only phone that had google experience was the galaxy s5
But doesn't S6 and before have CM builds? As well as the older notes?
What makes the Note 7 so much harder to eventually develop for?

it is not that..they are able to boot into cm but things that will never work are the camera, gps, 3d graphics and some other things..not enough to keep it as a daily driver

I know that Galaxy S4 had all of those working, and from what I've found is that Galaxy S6 also look like they have all of those working. What is it about samsung that would not allow that?

All of them have some bugs but no where near what you have said. For the Galaxy S4 its been a while but checking their forum on here I see that they even have Android 6 builds. including CM13 which is kinda neat given its age. Most of the other things I have seen by searching. I used the S4 as my daily driver for the longest time. Though you are right that some of the threads I have found for the S6 say not a daily driver. I am a bit curious about why, and if that will ever be overcome. As in, in a year will there be builds for CM for the Note 7.
On that note what is the best phone or company for CM?
Well that's just not true....

Which Part?
Many Samsungs has cm. Just not many anymore.
I must have been reading a different page... Someone said cm Roms were only on one ssmsung device.
Note 5 doesn't exactly have it...because the video recording will probably never work..accessing camera from other apps not working...

Yeah, I guess before last year I thought that the samsung devices were all supported by CM. That the samsung devices were the best ones with the best support for CM.

Yeah, I have since read that the S6, and Note 5, namely the devices that came out last year, don't seem to work well with Cyanogenmod.

LineageOS for galaxy note 5??

Hi, do you know if there is a version or there will be a version for this smartphone? I only see cm13 and it is June 2016.
First rule of Lineage is we do not as for etas
I understand then that for exynos you will not make rom? I say it to take it into account for upcoming smartphone
Unless LineageOS is going to run an all TouchWiz framework (More unlikely than a shark attacking on land), then I'd guess that it will have the exact same official support for all the exact same officially supported devices, long story short the last Note device with official support was pre-Note3 if my memory is correct. & any Exynos CM roms are half-cocked and never really expected to get past a User Build.....
Thanks

Anytime! I just wish we had a better chance than we do for custom builds but Samsung really doesn't care about us only consumers.
