Hi, this doesn't work for me. It goes into a bootloop, probably because I use partition encryption.

My model is i9195 (serranoltexx). TWRP installs nicely with Odin.

After flashing the ROM, at the first boot it prompts me for the passphrase to unlock the user data partition (this is normal, as usual). But I can't make it in time to type the passphrase that the screen glitches and I get a window "System UI keeps stopping {App info / Close app}". Whatever I do at that point, the phone reboots after a few seconds.

You have to format data partition. This will remove encryption and passphrase.

OK, I'm gonna try. Two questions:

1) how do I install the ROM .zip from after the formatting? Do I have to use the external SD card to place the .zip? Currently I copied the ROM .zip file in the local storage of the phone and I install it from there with TWRP, but I guess it'll be gone after formatting, right?

2) After installing, will I be able to add encryption? That feature is important to me. Did anyone test it with the new ROM?

Also, bonus question since I am at it :) what is the best way to root the phone? I remember I used SuperSU back in the days, is it still active for this phone model?

Thanks for your reply!

1 when booted in twrp, USB attached PC file manager sees internal memory and can write zip file

2 you can encrypt

Bonus you root with magisk 21

Bonus+ it is rater useless to encrypt when bootloader unlocked and rooted

Thanks a lot, will try and report!

Regarding the encryption, I have a very specific use for it, it's not as much for making the phone unusable without passphrase, but rather to make the content unrecoverable when powered off.

SELinux

At first, thanks a lot to arco68 for the great job. Android 11 on Samsung s4 mini. Unbelievable. I wanted to ask about SELinux. I have I9195, SELinux status - deactivated. Have another users same problem? Thank you

It's intentionally disabled for now, because core things are still being worked on, and having it enabled makes development less smooth. Once things are settled it will be enabled again.

@arco68

1st thanks for your work, it's really funny to have Android 11 on this little phone, runs very well. Noticed a small bug, the advanced power off menu doesnt appear, of course activated. I thought it's because i used gestures, but it's also there with navbar enabled. Not really a big bug.

Yeah someone introduced that bug 1 day before I made the build. Will be fixed in next build.

Wow arco! Impressive to see it getting android 11.
I tried it and here are my thoughts:
First I made a clean os install without bitgapps and everything was great! I tried to signature spoof the system but after some hours I gave up.
Than I installed the os with bitgapps and the phone runned slow. On bootup 1 gb of ram was used.
I now returned to the your lineage 17.1 build.

By the way would it be possible to implement signiture spoofing?
I actually tried to deodex both 17.1 and 18.0 with the vdexextractor but always failed, there were no dex files in the services.vdex

Confirmed. there is no solution for signature spoofing except baking in

I decided to give it a try a second time and now I'm stiking with los 18. The average ram usage is actually around 800 Mb, I was mistekan.
Also I found some bugs:
- Inserting headphones during a whatsapp call won't enable them. But when starting a call with the headphones inserted everything is ok. This whatsapp version did not gave me this problem on los 17 so I suppose it's a bug of los 18.
- When accessing the settings app, the clock app, the network settings from the pull down menu of the status bar the System Ui crashes and then restarts. After changing the backround the problem was fixed for a short period of time but than returned.

If you find some fix for it let us know arco.
Thanks!
