NFC you can enable under the Bluetooth settings.
Next you have take an look on the battery, it must have 4 pins.

I 9195 T model is International LTE with larger battery 2100mAh, instead of 1900mAh. Requires battery to have NFC Antenna, as per original supplied battery. But many Cells build in Chinese Replacements are missing the NFC antenna. If Correct NFC battery is installed. NFC WORKS.

Well done KinG of the S4 mini - over 10 years !! Why this don't reach the news ? Stay well Arco waiting for the 2022 builds , so I hope you are still motivated ..I Am 100 % .
You can always disable or adb uninstall unneeded apps.A clean Android with NO APPs
Haha, yes. Harvey is an extremist. But believe me: adb debloated apps definitely do no harm.
First of all: big thanks to the author for keeping the mini alive!
Then also thanks to everyone in the forum for the vivid discussion and exchange!
Installed 18.1 some time ago and lately updated to "lineage-18.1-20211215-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip"
Two issues remained and just wanted to ask if someone else shares these experiences and maybe has a solution:
1 bluetooth
Connecting to a bluetooth device by clicking the symbol in the status bar fails sometimes. No problem so far, i also had this in LoS16. A long press on the symbol would open the "connected devices" in settings. This last part no longer works for me in 18.1. When pressing the symbol, the status bar disappears and nothing else happens. So i have to open the "connected devices" manually via settings app.
2 playlists in audio apps
I am using Phonograph audio player. Since upgrading to LoS18.1. Phonograph is unable to add titles to playlists. First I thought it´s a bug in Phonograph, but then I realised the same happens with Eleven, Lineage´s built in audio player. I updated both players to the latest versions without any success in fixing the issue. Also heared some rumors that this also happens in Android 11.
Any comments about the two issues? Or ideas about a fix?

My everyday S4mini has a Google-free LoS18.1 installation. Besides this device I have a second, identic one for experiments. On this one I would like to try to install 18.1 with a most minimalistic version Google maps without other Google Apps if possible. What would be the best way to go? OpenGApps or MindTheGApps? Never heard about BiTGApps before discovering this here forum, is it also suitable?
This is just awesome--thank you so much for your work!
I originally got the S4 Mini just as a cheap backup phone in case of problems with my main phone (an old S6), but quickly fell in love with it. Phones have got bigger and bigger and I hate it! Meanwhile, my stock S6 is now too old to install things I need, even the humble Royal Mail UK app, so I was thinking of getting a new phone--and a smaller one at that, as even the S6 is far too big and unwieldy for me--but today, even the so-called mini phones are bigger than my S6. I was pretty cheesed off wondering what to do.
Now I have a beautiful phone in the S4 Mini with your customized Lineage Android 11 ROM. It might not be quite as snappy and responsive as today's kit, but it does everything I wan, jumping me forward by 4 versions from my previous limit of Android 7. Thank you so much and keep up the fantastic work!

Totally agree with you @petera703 re S4mini; but carriers here in USA are all requiring VoLTE. So I have been forced to move on; I chose the least of the heavy weight evils, S10e. Meanwhile, I still have four S4mini's that I use regularly for various dedicated purposes (running OS's by @arco68 on 3 of them). For example, one is mounted to the dash of my car:

@arco68 Many thanks for your continuous maintenance on this ancient phone 
One question:
In opening post you still link to your custom twrp-3.5.0_9-0. Meanwhile, TWRP released twrp-3.6.0_9-0.
Which one do you recommend? Have you made essential changes, which are not upstreamed / still missing in official versions?

70The phone that never dies, gets a new Android version yet again.
Samsung only gave it Android 4. Lineage gives it Android 11. A whopping amount of 7 newer versions than the last official one it came with. This time I can present a usable build almost 3 months earlier than what was the case with Lineage 17.1.
All major functions should be working, but keep in mind that there's probably some features not yet ported over to Lineage 18.1.

If you are doing backups of 18.1 with TWRP, and wants to restore one of these backups,
you need to flash this right after restoring, or otherwise the boot will hang: http://www.mediafire.com/file/a454nnpp8l7afbr/fix_rootfs_label.zip/file (Needed only for older TWRP, and not for the one linked to below)
