Pdf Viewer is missing as it is reputed unsafe, it don’t hurt me
Maps (Magic-Earth) is missing as expected, but can be added from AuroraStore or AppLounge
Browser is missing as i dread, even it is reputed unsafe and can be replaced by another, the choice is difficult to make for average users
Advanced-Privacy is missing as i dread, but cannot be installed as the app is not released as standalone app (it is not referenced in any store, only can be installed along /e/OS)
SMS is missing too…
.
CONCLUSION :
in my opinion, this build cannot be called “UNOFFICIAL” !
and must be renamed “CUSTOM_MINI” or “CUSTOM_SLIM”
.
also…
this sources and install instructions including recovery and download links are not for serrano…
But for serranoVE witch is different device.
Custom mini sounds good for S4 mini Or Mini Me as small version of S4
I might try to include Advanced-Privacy, but do need to take out other package (that can be installed by AppLounge…)
btw. messenger app can be downloaded too via App Store (like QKSMS)
The main issue for this build is the ROM storage that is exceeded by current standard R /e/OS build and a minimal build with option export MINIMAL_APPS is not sufficient too.
You need to configure vendor/lineage/config/common.mk file and take out all packages that are optional and can be replaced later by downloading via Apps store.
Thank you very much! You really have accomplished great things!
Just, as I’ve had this with LineageOS an other earlier /e ROMS on thre devices the Samsung boo-image states ‘GT-I9195’ but TWRP and some parts of Android see it as ‘GT-I9190 (serrano3gxx)’.
Have you observed this somewhere, too?
So with the TWRP on the phone I could not flash your ROM, due to the missmatch device names.
I then flashed your recovery, right in TWRP, booted into recovery and die the update from SD-Card (named PODCASTS)
It did boot pretty fast, camera, account, sync, wifi — the whole shebang is working!
no (i have istalled it from TWRP)
.
i see your I9195XXUBML4 is a very old firmware
(Jelly Bean 4.2.2 not matching the build target KitKat 4.4.2 → I9195XXUCQL2)
You mean a i9190 with motherboard labeled as i9195 ?
.
Have you tried to fisrt update your “I9195XXUBML4” firmware (or replace it) to a “I9195XXxCxxx” before install the “custom/e/”
The mismatch could be the cause of the issue…
The label in the battery compartment, as well as Samsung boot logo…
So far I never had labels, with wrong Samsung model names.
I had flashed TWRP on them a long time ago, booted into TWRP to install your ROM and then had the mismatch.
Great spotting, @piero
Today, I finally got the very last available, put it on all 5 devices, went through set up once, put a sim in, made a call, flashed TWRP and finally your build.
All problems are gone, made calls, set up sync, got my notes, camera works…
As I know, how hard you worked for this build, I put a little tank you note in my profile
(only got three batteries, unfortunately)
If I would want to install Advanced Privacy too, how can I do that? I see the apk-file, which I am familiar with, but what about the other files: what to do with those?
B.t.w.: MicroG is already part of your /e/OS build, right?
And a last question: would it be ‘save’ to flash this build and hand it to a person who is not an advanced user and just wants /e/OS to work as the official builds do?
Yes, MircoG is included.
Well for unofficial builds you wont have OTA, so unless you dont know to manually flash you will stick to the version first used. @piero: do you have newer builds for this device? Do you know the other answers?
I think a solution can be build another version without essential feature but including advandced-privacy, just to get it signed by the same builder, so it should be incorporated in the already installed major version…
Or Mini Me as small version of S4
