Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm thinking of installing this version of Lineage on my phone and I was wondering how do you install these latest builds with the security patches. Do you have to back up everything, install the newest build and start again from scratch (which seems quite tedious). Or can you overwrite the previous build without affecting your data, apps, etc?
[ROM][GT-I9190/I9192/I9195][Official][7.1.2] LineageOS 14.1 for S4 Mini
- Thread starter arco68
- Start date
You can dirty flash an update, if the installed ROM and the update are from same type and person. That means you wipe nothing and hust flash the zip file in twrp

I just got a free GT-i9195 and I have the same doubts. It would be helpful to hear opinions of senior S4 Mini owners.
IMO this ROM seems to be very well maintained and supported. Most apps still support android 7.x. From the posts I've read, the latest LineageOS 17.1/Android 10 is still very experimental and not suitable for daily use. I am searching for an Android 6.x or later ROM, that has the most features working. I can survive with the daily reboot, but not not with apps crashing hourly. Most of my usage will be for pokemon go, youtube vanced and uber. The IR blaster and Xposed would be "nice to have".

LOS16 and 17 are working perfectly as daily driver. Now on my Phone runs LOS 17 from the first released Version.
Try it.

userinit.sh not executed at startup
Hello,
dusted off my good old beloved S4 Mini to give it to my boy as his first mobil. Decided to flash an up-to-date LOS 14.1, because BLN doesn't seem to work anymore on newer Android versions...as far as I read?
To get BLN working, I've put a userinit.sh in /data/local, but is doesn't seem to be executed on startup. Everthing should be done right, because when i execute /etc/init.d/90userinit from Terminal it starts to work.
Anything else I have to do?

That's true but we can merge them manually by doing this command :

I guess I will have to port it myself, because I found a build but it is for serranodsdd
Two quick questions:
1) Any idea if this, or either of arco68's updated roms, will work on the SGH-i257M?
This old post from 2014:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696260
seems to say they might.
2) Will this rom (or the newer versions) allow a phone to remain usable after gsm is shut off in a year or so? I.e., is there any HD/voLTE support? It seems that the stock rom in the bootloader-locked US SGH-i257 does support voLTE, but the stock rom in the non-locked Canadian i257M does not. Both versions work fine right now with AT&T in the US.
Thanks in advance,
-Jeff

If your device is not explicitly mentioned, I think it is not supported.
There is no aosp based custom ROM for Samsung phones with VoLTE. So on the long teem we will have problems with telephony.

228WARNING! This ROM is for the GT-I9190, GT-I9192 and GT-I9195 variants only!
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.Code:/* * Your warranty is now void. * * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. * */
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.
LineageOS 14.1 Install Guide
Note: LOS for Galaxy S4 Mini is provided with no warranty. You are installing this software at your own risk. You may be violating your warranty.
Download LOS-14.1 and gapps zips and put in /sdcard
- GT-I9190: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/89zt4czjboe3u/lineage-14.1
- GT-I9192: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/x7woeo7en492g/lineage-14.1
- GT-I9195: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/g79ayk1gb5kte/lineage-14.1
- Google Apps (Use pico, nano or micro package)
Before you install LOS-14.1: Preparation (Optional. If you want to start fresh, these can be skipped)
- Install Easy Backup & Restore from Market, run it and backup your stuff.
- Boot into recovery. Make a full backup. You will need this backup later if you decide to go back to your previous ROM and data.
- I suggest using TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3736888
For migration from unofficial to official builds, see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/65gqqg/repopick_function_errors_during_migration_build/
Install
- Boot into recovery.
- Wipe data and cache.
- Flash lineage-14*.zip.
- Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to LOS-14.1 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
- Reboot phone.
- After you setup your Google account, reinstall Easy Backup & Restore from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
- Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
- If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
- It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.
Upgrades from previous versions of LOS-14.1 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between LOS-14.1 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data.
