Holla piero,

today I tested your recent build 4 i9195i (serranovelte)ā€¦
Flashing went smooth, but the boot could not be finish. After a successful startup, the setup screen should show normally, but there only was a black screen. Later on the device auto rebootedā€¦

I will test your build today, but donā€™t know where the second ā€˜Bā€™ Version is for?

I recognized that B version is slightly larger in file sizeā€¦

PS: I assume an U version of e.OS is not possible because of System Partition size, right? So I will stick with the much smaller lineageOS 21 U version for serranovelteā€¦

Thank U 2 for buildingā€¦ :slight_smile:

Greetā€™s

Both builds tested but no success etherā€¦

Build without B boots, but has the black screen problem like pieroā€™s and B Version is not booting, It stood still at Samsung Logo levelā€¦

Is it done usefully? I would like to use this ROM or an alternative. Please advise. The only thing that my S4 mini shall do is play Spotify on a BT speaker. But with 4.4.2 it wonā€™t install Spotify, right?

there are 4 supported variants, ā€œ3Gā€, ā€œ3G Dual Simā€, ā€œLTEā€, and ā€œLTE Value Editionā€.
this topic is about the "LTE Value Edition" model.

when both android 11 based, 2025.01.24 and 2025.02.08 builds seems reported as non booting, look like the older android 9 based build 2020.04.09 is still an alternativeā€¦ custom android builds - Browse /samsung/serranovelte at SourceForge.net

Thank you! I will take a look.

what is your device codename or model number ?
we may try to make a newer Pie version (e-0.23-p), or a new attempt for e-2.3-r

11

GT-I9195

20 digitsā€¦

so it is serranolte ā†’ serranoltexx ( gt-i9195 ) LTE
not serranovelte ( gt-i9195i ) LTE Value Edition

i still use e-0.18-r-MINI from @itsclarence , you can try Ronnzā€™s e-1.16-r-MINI.
as i remember, my e-1.17-r-MINI and e-2.1-r-MINI were not perfect, i will probably try to make a new e-2.3-r-MINI build soon, as my investigation to remaping the device storage to be abble to flash a full version of /e/OS not yet lead to success.

OK, so I was wrong in that. Is there a working system?

I took your 0.18 and it works. If you manage to make an update, I would be grateful, but it is not urgent. :slight_smile: Thanks a lot!
