Hi! Do any of you know how strictly one has to stick to the “supported models” info? For seranoltexx (https://doc.e.foundation/devices/serranoltexx/) only “GT-I9195” is supported. My phone is a GT-I9195I (note the “I” at the end), is it likely to work? Or better yet, does anyone have experience with using /e/ on this model?
Do not try this build the normal s4mini (serranoltexx) and the s4mini value edition (serranovelte) have different chipsets you could break stuff during flash… I will try providing a build for s4mini value edition( i9195i)
Most apps run fine! I started using Aurora Store to get more recent versions.
Being a photo enthusiastic, I tried some Google Camera mods from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ but couldn’t get any to run. Most did not even install. I guess this /e/ build is 32 bit? Gcam requires a 64 bit ROM nowadays. And still then, with just 1.5 GB RAM in the device, Gcam may not be happy.
Any possibility to enable Camera 2 API, which would also enhance photo quality e.g. in Open Camera?
I m not 100% certain about this device but know that for the standard s4 mini it is not possible to enable cam2api… it was only introduced with android lollipop…
I’ve been advised to buy Craftmann, from a local dealer, but I’m afraid it’s a Russian-only brand. Works fine for me; AccuBattery shows 100%+ battery health.
Hey, are there any user-made roms for the S4 mini that turned out to be stable? I see several versions talked about in this and other threads, but it is rarely said which worked.
In the june pie version, the preinstalled Maps app (which as I understand is the only non-tracking alternative) said something about maps not being compatible and didn’t work.
Update Magic Earth via aurora store…
( this is the only default application you have to update by aurora )
The general case is to update with the same store you used for installing.
Thanks. I didn’t know these apps were installed with different stores. Aurora Store wasn’t even installed. How can I tell which apps are installed with which store?
System apps are updated when you update the system
Magic Earth is the only /e/ default app witch is not open source
You can find the Open Sources apps in F-Droid store
And proprietary apps via Aurora Store witch is a anonymous client for the Gogol Store (don’t use Gogol account)
When YOU will install an app from a Store, the store will be specified in >settings >applications >app-name
I noticed the official dev version is a much higher eOS version than the unofficial june pie one, despite only running on android nougat. I suppose eOS version matters more than base android version.
I don’t know how to update the system. That update feature in settings never works.
