Heollo guys,

as I still own a SGS4mini (i9195), that was running on KitKat, I wanted to improve it a bit.
THerefore, I flashed lineage-13.0-20170318-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip.
Basically, most of the things are running fine (as long as you don't use the SD card as internal storage). But a major topic is the camera. The focus is always pumping around and very often just does exactly the wrong thing when the picture gets taken - thus resulting in a lot of blurry pictures.
Do you know some workaround for this?

Thanks,
Matthias

You can try the unofficial LOS 14.1 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-s4-mini-3g-lte-t3471761
Even tho it is still listed as [TEST], the ROM had been stable as daily driver for me, and camera works for me. <Tap to set focus works. The S4 has a pretty crappy camera compared to current gen phones, I get lots of motion blurring / artifacts in low light.>
You may also try a different camera app for more control options, although I found stock is pretty good for me.
