Galaxy S4 Mini international LTE(GT-I9195) and 3G(GT-I9190) official CM11 nightlies bug reports & discussion.
This thread is to discuss any issues you may have or bug reports to raise regarding the CM11 nightlies AND stable versions for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini international LTE variant (GT-I9195) and the international 3G variant (GT-I9190) (see notes section if you have some other variant).
Opened this thread to keep the release thread clean for development-related discussions only.
** DO NOT USE THE JIRA BUG TRACKER TO REPORT BUGS FOR NIGHTLIES! Flash latest snapshot with full wipe and report the issue with it.
Reporting to JIRA is allowed for M / SNAPSHOT rom versions. Guidelines on how to report stuff there.

CyanogenMod 11 - GT-I9195 and GT-l9190 - Snapshots - Bug Reports & Discussion thread
Cyanogenmod Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini forums.
You can also report and confirm problems at google doc for this thread. I'll gradually move them here from there.
-------------------------
Notes
- I'm not the developer for these roms, nor do I work for Cyanogenmod, I just maintain this thread as a hobby. Please don't PM or spam me to answer your questions.
- This thread is ONLY for the CM11 nightlies discussion, there are other threads in the general and Q/A forums to answer questions about everything else than CM11 nightlies. (Example how to root s4mini is not related to this thread.)
- Arco68 is the maintainer/developer in charge of
maintaining/developing CM for our phones. He isn't in charge of
developing everything on CM, for example trebuchet or other feature
development.
- F4k is the most active mod-developer for our phones, but he doesn't work for Cyanogenmod either.
- Please note that the CM11 isn't anymore in it's early stages,
but still everything is not a bug, a lot hasn't been merged yet. So
expect missing features. The missing features will come in due time.
There might not ever be a stable labeled CM11 rom since Cyanogenmod
changed their build routines. More info.
- 1st rule of flashing custom roms etc.: No wipe - No whine.
- 2nd rule of flashing custom roms etc.: Always backup before flashing/updating.
- 3rd rule of flashing custom roms etc.: Google search and xda search are your friends when encountering problems.
- How to act on xda forums. Also answers the question "why I only get angry answers when I ask questions?".
- FAQ: Rooting S4 Mini LTE GT-I9195, guide on how to root and stuff.
- [GUIDE] How to install CM11, quick/small guide thread.
- What is knox?
- When upgrading between different CM versions(cm10.1/10.2/11), you
still need to flash the gapps module after upgrading as /system is wiped
and it's pretty much necessary to do a full wipe when upgrading to
CM11.
- Gapps are Google Apps for Android. The reason why you need to flash them separately from the rom.
- Notes about updating to latest stock FW before flashing custom ROMs
- Flashing CM11(or any custom rom based on CM?) may break your NFC on the stock rom if you sometime want to go back to it. The thread about this problem, there may be some fix for it in that thread and discussion of this problem should be done there. (Dirty) fix for NFC on stock.
- M / Snapshot / monthly releases are basically nightlies from
specific time, but they shouldn't have any major problems like
bootlooping etc. More info about M-releases. Even more info about M-releases.
- ClockworkMod(cwm) is the official Cyanogenmod recovery. Latest version 6.0.4.8.
- The ROM comes with a Superuser app. You don't need to install another one.
- CM doesn't come with a IR Remote app, IR blaster support may be TV/device specific.
- Screenshot is Vol-Down + Home in CM.
- To install games/apps to external SD, you currently need some
app/mod like FolderMount. Not sure how link2sd works, but it might help
on this too. See this guide.
- Whisper Push aka TextSecure is in short, encrypted messaging. It requires data connection in order to work for now. More info here and here.
- Our device doesn't have LED like many phones do, so there's an
another notification light implemented called BLN. (Sprint variant of
s4mini has LED, but this variant isn't supported and these roms aren't
for that variant)
- Button Lights Notification (BLN) kernel support by junkyde was
implemented to the official CM tree by arco68, so you now only need the BLN app(free or pro). Using task killers, adblock plus or other apps like Clean Master may cause BLN not to work. If you BLN doesn't work do the steps in this post.
- Trebuchet launcher replaced Launcher3.
- Regarding the issues and missing stuff on trebuchet: You can
access launcher settings by pressing menu on homescreen or long
pressing homeescreen. From the menu, you can scroll to get more options,
the options that are not there aren't available yet on Trebuchet. They
will come eventually, you can use 3rd party launchers for additional
features.
- Only themes that support the new CM theme stuff are supported.
- These roms and this thread are only for the international models: GT-I9195 serranoltexx and GT-I9190 serrano3gxx. A comment
from the rom developer about other variants. It's advised to post your
full baseband from about phone settings before flashing anything.
- Other S4 Mini variants like GT-I9192, Sprint(JDQ39.L520 or SPH-L520),
SHV-E370K, SGH-I257M, SCH-R890, GT-I9195T and GT-I9197 aren't
officially supported and using these roms on wrong variant may brick
your device, but if you want to root them etc. search other threads from
these S4 Mini forums for guides.
- Using ART instead of dalvik may cause FCs in apps etc. ART can
also cause bootloops on some nightlies, example 20140222 and 20140226,
check latest posts for future nightlies. (Generally ART should work
just fine with the latest gapps and generally with all apps, but it
needs support from app's side too.) Dalvik is still the official solution, supported and considered safe. Using ART may require more space from internal/external SD. Check for app ART combability here.
- Xposed is not supported here (neither are any other mods), issues
related to it aren't nightly problems. Xposed only works with dalvik.
- If you are experiencing battery drainage, please check what's draining it with BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector and the current issues below before posting about it. More info about wakelocks.
- For those who experience battery drainage from wifi, check this post out.
- You can't change settings for core1 permanently. Whatever setting
you choose, core1 will always be restored to its driver defaults -
interactive at any speed. Saving battery while core 1 is not needed is
the point. It's a Qualcomm design.
- CAF = Code Aurora Forum - A division of Qualcomm doing the source code for their hardware.
- Quick Panel: Expanded desktop toggle doesn't show up if you haven't enabled Expanded desktop from the interface settings.
- Quick Panel: Profile toggle doesn't show up if you haven't enabled profiles from the settings.
- Three dots on apps is a new design preference from Google. More info.
- You can request features/mods in this thread, but if you want
something to be implemented into official CM tree, this is not the right
place for that. Personally I suggest you to find Cyanogenmod official
forum request section(if there even is one.. found this
though). Some devs like F4k are usually interested in development of
mods, so they might do them. But remember: Spamming them(devs) about
requests doesn't get your mods done, on the contrary it might even get
your requests to be ignored.
- I have made this same thread only including issues and requests from this post to the Cyanonmod forum too.
-------------------------
Few useful apps and other stuff
- Google Experience launcher download link.
- Different modems. Ask about the benefits and other stuff in it's thread and not here.
- For downloading smaller updates instead of whole nightlies, check CyanDelta updater app. But still it's recommended to download whole rom, if problems occur, from get.cm.
- For making nandroid backups without booting to recovery, check this app (also has pro version). The app's xda thread. (If it doesn't work, update your recovery and root+busybox to the latest and try changing the shell as mentioned in the app.)
- (I might add more useful apps to this list if people tell
about them, but I won't keep them up to date as in if you use them you
are in charge of updating them. And this thread is not about their
problems.)
-------------------------
Before reporting a bug
- Only report issues occurring on the latest nightly.
- Reporting bugs on this thread is for the purpose that other
users know, NOTHING reported in this thread automatically goes to
Cyanogenmod.
- To report issues or missing features to Cyanogenmod, use JIRA bug
tracker. Reporting to JIRA is only allowed from M/snapshot releases, so
flash snapshot release with full wipe before reporting issues there.

LIST OF ISSUES / MISSING FEATURES
- Most of these issues haven't been reported to JIRA, you can help by reporting them.
JIRA issue reporting guidelines.
Unverified
- Missing/not working settings:
- BLN can stop working when receiving a lot of notifications. Info.
- BLN lights don't shutdown until turning the screen off after it has been turned on. Info.
- When you click on a link with a date in it( example:listen to the stream from 1.1.2014 now) the caller app opens.
- It is not possible to adjust the volume of the headphones when receiving an incoming call. More info.
Verified & Reproduced
- Missing/not working settings:
- Option to mute camera/video shutter/recording starting sound.
- Missing features:
- Picasa integration from gallery menu.
- Camera issues issues/missing features:
- Photosphere. Tempfix.
- Trebuchet issues/missing features:
- Missing settings for drawer and dock in the trebuchet settings, like dock pages etc.
- Regarding the issues and missing stuff on trebuchet: You can access
launcher settings by pressing menu on homescreen or long pressing
homeescreen. From the menu, you can scroll to get more options, the
options that are not there aren't available yet on Trebuchet. They will
come eventually, you can use 3rd party launchers for additional
features.
- Email issues/missing features:
- IMAP account does not sync the sent, draft, trash folders. It seems
that it syncs only the INBOX folder filled in the account setting.
- Exchange works fine, but maybe the sent folder should show the To
field and not the sender's name(as in yourself) on each email. (this is
more a suggestion on design?)
- Quick Panel issues/missing features:
- Long-pressing User Switcher doesn't take you to the user profile
setup. And the toggle doesn't work if you haven't setup your profile
from People app first.
- Using camera from quick panel doesn't save pictures to external
sdcard even if it is set as the default save location. It saves them to
internal sdcard.
- Mobile data switching issue: Trying to switch from "2G only" or from
"3G only" (options of "2G/3G Tile"), the "LTE Tile" doesn't work. It
works ONLY switching from "3G preferred" to LTE.
- Screen mirroring/cast. (Unstable/blinking WiFi display with no
audio with Samsung AllShare Cast Dongle and LG LA 660S). Worked last in
cm10.1.
- Ringtone sound samples are no more concatenated seamlessly like in CM10.2/10.1. More info.
- CWM recovery issue: Date/time is wrong on the nandroid backups. Temporary fix. CWM recovery also missing date/time options.
- Stock browser: Inverted rendering in Browser doesn't work. More info.
- Performance settings: If you set powersaving, the device gets very
laggy, because the cpu gets stuck on 384MHz. Conservative and powersave
may also cause bootloops if you set "Set on boot" option on.
- The loud volume acceptation doesn't "survive reboot". On CM10 it
was not reseted until you wiped the cache partition, meaning that you
had to accept it only once.
- Quiet Hours doesn't mute example Whatsapp notifications. More info.
- Flip action in alarm not working, shaking works just fine.
- When you're on a call and need to use the number pad(in-call-ui), the numbers are blue. As in, it should use kitkat colors/ui.
- Proximity sensor doesn't turn off after ending a call, if you have
covered the sensor before and the whole time of the call. This of course
causes battery drainage. Use-case: Using phone when it's in your pocket
via BT device to make a call.More info. Tempfixes. JIRA report.
- Whisper push / TextSecure doesn't work without data connection.
Example for SMS/MMS it doesn't work. More info and clarification about
the issue here.
- Sound Search for Google Play crashes when pressing the widget.
Fixed / In coming build
- National data roaming. At least for some countries/networks. People can report the missing apn infos to JIRA.
Unable to reproduce / Unique to certain users / Unable to fix / Unverified / Kernel issue
- BT issues:
- BT issues can be device specific, since not all are having issues with their BT devices or with BT in general.
- BT headphones issue 1. More info.
- Contacts don't sync with car BT, but everything else syncs just
fine. Works fine on samsung stock rom. Tempfix: Bluetooth Phonebook app
from play may fix it.
- Panasonic RPHX headphones cause system crash when plugged in.
- Wired headset music controls not working, neither volume nor playback (stock Samsung earplugs) for the past 6-7 nightlies.
- Dialer (SIP CLIENT) All incoming is URL based.
- The dialer issue when it freezes, hangs and no sound on calls. Was
caused by PAgapps package, reported fixed when using cm provided
gapps(linked top of this post).
