Wow! Thx!

 

[miccca]

many thanks mernurisha I'm going to test this rom

 

[DroidKing18]

Works well. Just one issue is my SD card doesn't get recognised (and it did and daniles ROMs). Everything else is perfect though

ROM works without restrictions. It is not fully translated into Polish yet. Several applications can not install on Android 10 like: Disa, Messenger, Duo ... The system works fast. I keep looking for mistakes so that I won't find them. Thank you!

 

[MrGoodtunes]

... my SD card doesn't get recognised ...

Same here. Otherwise, amazing!

SD-Card detected flawlessly

   EDIT: Correct TWRP is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-ve-unof-t3955165

Seamless procedure :good:

I used an old lying-around 2GB-card as source for installing the zips.
It was presented in "Storage" as expected.

Very stable

I've been testing ROM extensively. No crashes so far. Looks very stable.
Amazing work :good:

"Trust" doesn't seem to be working as I'm used to.
More specifically I was looking for the Trust icon (Privacy Guard) in the status bar that allows per-app-modifying the permissions of the running app. Does it have to be activated?
Thanks

 

[yourproblem]

Tested this Rom, works very good and stable. Also 64GB SD-Card works fine.
Amazing work!!!

What's not working for me:
-reverse Tethering
-30% of the apps I'm using not available for this version
-the letters in menu are sometimes "blurred" (screenshot)

 

[ffox.pl]

- The unrolled bar shows the battery icon and its percentage (fig1). Only the battery icon is visible in the normal status bar (fig2). There is no way to set a different configuration (no other selection works).
- Styles & Wallpapers can set the custom style but it can not be named and checked, it is always Custom 1 and unmarked (fig3).

Are those available on a different phone or ROM running Android 10 yet?
I have a similiar experience like you. When imported from my Nougat phone nearly all of them work with no limitation so far. But for some of them I will wait until they are in the Playstore. It's not my daily driver yet - but a promising candidate​

- reverse Tethering

Interesting! How did you do that on any other than this ROM? Just curious.​

- the letters in menu are sometimes "blurred" (screenshot)

Black wallpaper helped me. Worth a try.
EDIT: Black Wallpaper doesn't prevent blurredness. Just makes it harder to spot.​

Display doesn't look as sharp and rich in contrast as on my DualCore-S4Mini.Duos(GT-i9192)@LOS14 which was produced about a year earlier.
Probably hardware related. But who knows. Right now I'm a litttle bit reluctant to go back to stock just to check. Maybe you can help me out with your display experiences? And are there any (hidden) display values somewhere that I could manipulate?

 

[msbln]

Could anyone make AdAway work? I wasn't able to.

 

[ffox.pl]

- The camera does not save files to the SDcard. It only saves in the phone's memory.

9192

what about i9192?

I've written all this before. These bugs are source-side. Still under development.

Use open camera.
Settings > More camera controls > Use Storage Access Framework > Select a save location ( your SD-card)

what about i9192?

Don't have the device. Sorry

I just wanted to inform potential testers, I know it's an Android 10 issue and needs some time.

reverse Tethering

I used this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaQ7eAEqRDw
Works on Linage 16 latest Version. But not all Apps accept this connection.

No issue for me, but important to know, thanks. I'm happy I have a fast (2x PwBttn) and fully fledged shooter. Turned ISO to 800 and increased contrast/sharpness/saturation levels. Seems to keep the values permanently which I like.

I can confirm both. Yet both is fine in Mernurisha's LOS16

TWRP 3.2.3 (TWRP-3.2.3-lineage-15.1_j1_20181016_serranove3g.tar)...?

serranove3g is for GT-i9192i
serranovelte is for GT-i9195i

What device have you?

GT-i9195i
You're right, I flashed the wrong TWRP! Actually I didn't know that even a DuoSim-QuadCore-Edition existed, until now. Probably even more rare than the GT-i9195i we have. But I should have noticed the "3g" - silly me.
That finally explains my initial problems with flashing. I had to delete the first two lines in the /META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary to make it run through.
Thanks for solving that mystery :highfive: . Puhh, I guess I was lucky I didn't brick the phone.
I will edit the quoted post of mine.
