[index] Galaxy S4 mini i9195i

Hi! This is an index and guide about the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini plus i9195i
Rooting guide:
I downloaded Kingroot and rooted it there (even though it said not supported, it still worked). I then downloaded Super me and let it do it's magic (delete Kingroot apps and install SuperSU apps). It takes about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you can get your refund from the Play Store.

Xposed guide:
I downloaded the Xposed installer, went to install/update, and it all went smoothly for me. Other users reported boot loop, but my phone was fine, so don't blame me if you get boot loop.

Custom Roms:
KitKat ROMS:
CyanogenMod 11

Lollipop ROMS:
CyanogenMod 12.1

Marshmallow ROMS:
CyanogenMod 13

Nougat ROMS:
LineageOS 14.1

Oreo ROMS:
LineageOS 15.1
dotOS 2.4
Resurrection Remix 6.0.0

Pie ROMS:
LineageOS 16
Pixel Experience

As far as my testing went, all these ROM's are pretty stable and that includes LOS 16. This device is not my primary device though, so I don't test as well as I used to. LOS 16 doesn't seem to have any major bugs. (I didn't even find minor bugs either, but again, I don't test properly.). You need the latest TWRP to flash it though.

Custom Kernels:
Custom kernel by alexax66 for stock ROM 4.4
.zip file (v 0.1.7)(Flash via recovery)
.tar file(v 0.1.7)(Flash via odin)
(v 0.1.7) Disc image file
Source

It works well, normal features work and it seems to make the phone work faster. I found that all kernel features do work, while there are a few bugs (I've come across 2: the alarm clock doesn't work and I can't search for mobile networks/ put new apns in). To make sweep2sleep work, you must insert into the terminal after adding code to the build prop (this worked for me, but after a reboot it stopped). I installed first via TWRP official and then via Odin. I'm not sure if you have to do it that way, but I can assure you that if you do do it that way, it will work.
I would not recommend this kernel, due to its instability, although I did used to use it daily.

I could not get WiFi working on this kernel.

Sorry, but I have a stupid question:
Can I use the Netherlands-version also on devices that are used in other countries / with other carriers?

Yes, you can, but I think if you wait, your country might come. They just (50 minutes ago) released one for region TPD here. I think I'm going to wait.

I added a bunch of disc images of kernels and recoveries (no new releases ) I also added the newest stock kernel if anyone needs it. (Released 11 Jan 2016) Also, TWRP 3.0.0-0 is out for our device, links are there. Is anyone working on CM by the way?

There's a new official TWRP release (3.0.0-2) here , enjoy

You've got a interesting thread here to stay up-to-date on info about our phone, but shouldn't you mention some credits to the guy(s) that found the cm11?
I think it's Chrisled2 talking about it on cyanogenmod-forum (i see he's active here also by the name of chrisled):
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/110203-gt-i9195i-supported/?page=2#comment-591554
There are mentions about problems with play store, and playing video files in browser.

But thanks again for keeping us up-to-date!
Could you maybe try and test the infrared-functions with the custom rom? I use it for my television and decoder.

I thought OyyO found it first but I wasn't sure. I would've given creds to the devs but they don't seem to be on this site, if they are, tell me, but I've only seen them on 4pda, a Russian site. The truth is that I didn't test it enough to notice all the bugs. I lost a lot of interest when I found that I couldn't put Xposed on
