[Official]Android KitKat 4.4.x for S4 Mini Discussion thread

[tinko975]

my friend bought new i 9195 and it was on 4.4.2, but older version, from october 2014. and OTA there were no updates for that region so i flash newest SEE 4.4.2 COC2 thru odin and knox counter jumped to 0x1..
how it is possible, i flashed 50 samsung devices of my friends with odin and if stock firmware was flashed, knox always stays 0x0..

this is strange.

It's normal, sometimes KNOX and Recovery update ticks the flag...
For example, KNOX switched from 2.0 to 2.1- It ticks the flag.

I didnt expect it. So it is possible, but on newer devices i never see this. Flashing flagships and tabs every week. This is first strange knox trip. Of course flashing custom recovery knox goes up, but stock firmware. Thanks for tip.

Every recovery update or KNOX update will trip KNOX, even newer stock recovery...

Good to know, thanks. It is first time happened to me.

Maybe is testing for now, and in future is will be added, hope.

 

[tinko975]

maybe in next release od 4.4.2.. maybe 4.4.4.

 

[MixoMaxoViper]

Maybe not, look at "air gesture" in QuickShortcutMaker
It is here, but not activated by Samsung...
I have a very big hope for lollipop!

Sammy is very lousy. They do not build roms for lower end or midrange devices from scratch.
They use same Twiz source that is meant for flagships. Then boil it down to something "light" and less featured. Which by the way is buggy and bloated.
This is the reason why there are left overs and also files from other screen resolutions.
Atleast the latest twiz is not like that.
They are clearly using 2 different bases for flagships and other phones.

Also, greyscale function isn't working at all-it only switches ON but no effects.
