Back in October there was this <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/10/samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-getting-android-4-4-4-kitkat.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">leaked sheet</a> that contained important information regarding a few of Samsung's Galaxy devices firmware updates to Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Inside the list we also saw the Galaxy S4 mini 3G and Duos (surpringly LTE was not on the list).<br />
<br />
However, out of all these three models, the Korean variant of the S4 mini LTE has managed to grab the update first before everyone else, upgrading straight from 4.2.2 to 4.4.4.<br />
<br />
A xda forum member named <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5679857" target="_blank">ThuGzta</a> who managed to succesfully update the phone to 4.4.4 via Kies had this to say:<br />

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I updated it to Kitkat 4.4.4. and its working pretty good. I 
have seen the battery performance is better, the phone isn't heating up 
as much as it used too. The interface is pretty good too. Had to use 
KIES to get the update, I dont think they (KOREAN S4) are doing the OTA 
thing. Overall the whole update seems to be pleasing. Haven't noticed 
any bugs yet, the phone definitely is faster with this update.  (I have 
directly come from 4.2.2 JB). IF I find bugs I would let the thread 
know.</blockquote>
<strike>We have contacted the forum member above to provide us with some screenshots of the update. Be sure to check this post for any updates on the matter.</strike><br />
<br />
<b>UPDATE:</b> Screenshots have been provided.<br />

When we got our first unofficial build of CyanogenMod12 from recognized xda developer f4k, many of you Duos users were probably upset because of the fact that it was only ported for the GT-I9190 and GT-I9195 models.<br />
<br />
Recently, an xda developer that goes by the name <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=943196">k2wl</a> has compiled a build for the GT-I9192 as well and most of the important features appear to be working just fine according to the developer and some user reviews.<br />

While we are still <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/10/samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-getting-android-4-4-4-kitkat.html" target="_blank">waiting for an official 4.4.4 KitKat update from Samsung</a>, our beloved developers have already begun working with the new Android 5.0 Lollipop sources. Just a few hours ago, recognized xda developer <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3261191"><span style="color: green; font-style: italic;">F4k</span></a> has compiled and released an unofficial build of CyanogenMod12 which is based off the latest Android version 5.0<br />
<br />
As of now there are builds available to flash for the GT-I9190 and GT-I9195, with no news for the Duos (GT-I9192) model yet. At first, the developer had some small issues getting the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) to work which is what handles the connectivity between your phone and the SIM card to establish connections with your carrier. <strike>Thankfully that issue is resolved and the only issue remaining is getting the camera to work. </strike>The camera is now also working and the download links have been updated.<strike><br /></strike><br />

The first unofficial build of CM12 (Android 5.0) for S4 mini is here! [UPDATED]

While we are still waiting for an official 4.4.4 KitKat update from Samsung , our beloved developers have already begun working with the n...

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini getting Android 4.4.4 KitKat in November

Just when we thought we wouldn't be getting any new firmware updates after the long awaited Android 4.4.2, out of nowhere comes this little leaked document in which you see the Galaxy S4 mini included in an update queue for the last version of KitKat - 4.4.4<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP0Snn3Rw-rtfl6vlt5Ait3z6PLQJ3t620Pk26PSxR2MTMKZpq1p1gCWoeKym5r3B-BBR5Pl4YW1e1eRKOFl5pWeW14zpr7lFYn593jlJuGSJwHSuCzl8SQ9TNRW_443lEdYNoKYsWrZwd/s1600/update_ktu84p_.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP0Snn3Rw-rtfl6vlt5Ait3z6PLQJ3t620Pk26PSxR2MTMKZpq1p1gCWoeKym5r3B-BBR5Pl4YW1e1eRKOFl5pWeW14zpr7lFYn593jlJuGSJwHSuCzl8SQ9TNRW_443lEdYNoKYsWrZwd/s1600/update_ktu84p_.png" width="640" /></a></div>

According to the document, the Galaxy S4 mini 3G and Duos are pending to receive the 4.4.4 KitKat update in November. Now what's interesting here is that we do not see the LTE model included on the list - the same case as in the last leak except there is was the Duos model that was missing. But regardless that it was excluded from the list, it still got the firmware update.<br />
<br />
If you remember the <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/05/samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-getting-44.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">last leaked document</a> regarding the first KitKat update, it was scheduled for June and it really did get <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/06/android-442-kitkat-update-begins-rolling-s4-mini.html" target="_blank">rolled out</a> in June so let's hope this new leaked document will be accurate as well and not a fake.<br />
<br />

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini getting Android 4.4.4 KitKat in November

Just when we thought we wouldn't be getting any new firmware updates after the long awaited Android 4.4.2, out of nowhere comes this lit...

So here we are finally getting to try out pretty much all of the Galaxy S5 apps on the Galaxy S4 mini. This project started off as an attempt to port the S5 settings app along with its lockscreen effects but eventually started to expand to something much, much better.<br />

Just like the Wizzed Theme, this package only replaces certain images of your actual music player app and nothing else, so it is considered 100% safe to flash as it will do no harm. Also please keep in mind that this is meant for the new KitKat firmware as the image files in this package are with the .SPI extension and not the old .PNG which Jelly Bean's app images were based off.<br />

If you have tried out the ported Galaxy S5 music player on your S4 mini, you may have experienced some bugs where the player would crash ...

brisK v2 Kernel for Samsung Galaxy S4 mini LTE (GT-I9195)

Since a lot of you reported a higher battery drain in the new KitKat firmware (some have even noticed the same problem in the old Jelly Bean), you can now try out this custom kernel compiled by xda member <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4562972">TheBootloader</a> for the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini LTE (GT-I9195) which may just solve some of your drain problems.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPwCddMJXinz0l8t0GfjMVpmPzvtvtODlqOyj9zi1PkHQHblvPIwJ0RYObty6L6rnVyozeHL2rFKFAKKoCGV70ZpbiMNS9GPPFU2FUIvf-Cw0LRRZ9DUhJVnkvTZzEsBrMyjGp5coTKOE/s1600/brisk-kernel-s4-mini.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBPwCddMJXinz0l8t0GfjMVpmPzvtvtODlqOyj9zi1PkHQHblvPIwJ0RYObty6L6rnVyozeHL2rFKFAKKoCGV70ZpbiMNS9GPPFU2FUIvf-Cw0LRRZ9DUhJVnkvTZzEsBrMyjGp5coTKOE/s1600/brisk-kernel-s4-mini.png" /></a></div>
<br />
What this kernel aims is system stability, a boost in the speed, less battery drain and of course some additional features such as USB OTG support, BLN and others. Also this kernel does not come bloated with random governors and schedulers but only a few select ones by the developer that he finds the most useful.<br />
<br />
This kernel is also offered in two variants - Jelly Bean and KitKat. So for those of you who still haven't upgraded to KitKat, you may also give this kernel a try. The features of the custom Jelly Bean kernel are pretty much the same as in the KitKat one.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Version 1 & 2 changelogs:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Added OTG support (Not working yet)</li>
<li>Removed TIMA
Change to XZ compression</li>
<li>Added BLN support (Not working yet)</li>
<li>Added battery drain patches</li>
<li>Optimize kernel for speed, not size</li>
<li>Preparation for init.d support</li>
<li>Permissive SELinux

</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Future plans:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>Add proper Prima WLAN driver - So we don't rely on the stock kernel-module (This restricts which kernel options I can change)</li>
<li>Add a few more optimizations</li>
<li>Busybox Version?</li>
<li>Add init.d</li>
<li>Pre-rooted version?
</li>
</ul>

<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Installation:</span> </h2>
<ol>
<li>
Before you attempt to flash the custom kernel, be sure that you are using a custom recovery such as CWM Recovery, TWRP or PhilZ and not the stock recovery.</li>
<li>Download the kernel zip file according to your Android version in to your sd card.</li>
<li>Boot into Recovery mode by holding Volume up + Home + Power buttons together.</li>
<li>Choose <b>install zip.</b> </li>
<li>Choose <b>choose from external sdcard</b> (<b>choose zip from /storage/sdcard1/</b> if you have a newer version of CWM Recovery).</li>
<li>Select the kernel zip file and choose it
Choose <b>Yes</b> to confirm when asked.</li>
<li>After the installation is complete, go back and choose <b>reboot system now</b>.</li>
</ol>
If you are having problems with the custom kernel you can revert back to a stock one at any time by flashing one of the following: <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2927919&d=1410089963" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jelly Bean stock</a> and <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2927965&d=1410093943" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">KitKat stock</a>.<br />

Galaxy S5 FM Radio for Galaxy S4 mini

Coming up next in our Galaxy S5 transformation is the FM Radio App. For now the name of the person who has ported this app is unknown (if it ever needed porting) or it could actually be xda member <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3984808">adityapal</a> who has published the apk file in the forums.<br />
<br />
The app seems to be working just fine (is able to scan for radio stations and can play them without any issues) and is even able to record radio. The generated file comes with a .m4a extension that is not visible in the music player but you can find lots of online file converters that can turn it into mp3.<br />

Coming next to our Galaxy S5 transformation is the Internet Browser application. which was recently ported by xda member <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5403589" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="searchBubble" id="searchBubble"></span>Albe95</a>. The application seems to work just fine on the Galaxy S4 mini running the new KitKat firmware and may even work on other Samsung devices with this new firmware as well. Most likely the app will not work on Jelly Bean firmwares though due to some framework changes made by Samsung.<br />

After personally testing the app I have come to the conclusion that it's awesome and is working just fine on the Galaxy S4 mini. You do not only get a similar design as this is not a theme, but you actually get the features that it could offer since we are installing the whole app.<br />

Volume Boosting Mod for Galaxy S4 mini

While most of you may be satisfied with the Galaxy S4 mini's speaker volume, some may be disappointed and would like to boost it up a bit. In certain situations such as in parties with loud music and noise, you may not be able to hear your phone's ringtone if you have disabled vibration or if you have a song whose volume is below normal, you may want to listen to it louder on your music player.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyFFWw_ZLky9KRFyjoTBppfOLbd4vytyPIDNH5WZlRI2o6kuGL1SI6IuD3xGvYeGmJtZMHW_TVL4k3tfF8D68G5mW4iZeIJxMQ08KCQkwuhV8Qtx7rx_5si4phz4kP3YjYTdsUvkiDU-0p/s1600/boost-s4-mini-volume.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="boost s4 mini volume" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyFFWw_ZLky9KRFyjoTBppfOLbd4vytyPIDNH5WZlRI2o6kuGL1SI6IuD3xGvYeGmJtZMHW_TVL4k3tfF8D68G5mW4iZeIJxMQ08KCQkwuhV8Qtx7rx_5si4phz4kP3YjYTdsUvkiDU-0p/s1600/boost-s4-mini-volume.png" title="" width="360" /></a></div>
For these kind of frustrating situations comes this volume sound boosting mod from the developer of the popular WizzedTheme, <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4822300">rrgrrg</a>. Now of course you can also use a sound mod such as <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/05/viper4android-for-galaxy-s4-mini.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Viper4Android </a>but that mod only covers the music player and nothing else while this mod actually helps you increase the overall sound volume for your ringtones, notifications and system sounds.<br />
<br />
This mod will boost your volume values up to 50% and headphones values up to 80%. According to <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4822300">rrgrrg</a>, this mod seems to be working on both 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 firmwares for the Galaxy S4 mini and the only requirement left is to have a custom recovery installed.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Disclaimer:</span></h2>
Use this mod with caution! While this is proven to not cause any damage to the phone's speakers, be careful of how much you increase your phone's volume as anything is possible to happen. S4MiniArchive and the developer will not be responsible for any damages caused. Flash and use this at your own risk!<br />

(Jelly Bean) WizzedTheme V2 for Galaxy S4 mini - Get The S5 Look!

Since the last published <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/03/s5note-pro-icon-pack-for-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini.html" target="_blank">S5 icon pack</a> had some small issues such as a few oversized icons in certain areas, many of you were eagerly waiting for an update with such issues being resolved. Unfortunately, I am not that experienced in theming and the whole graphics scene, so I am presenting you the WizzedTheme made by xda member <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4822300">rrgrrg</a> who has done a way better job.<br />
<br />
Just like the old S5 icon pack that was published here a few months ago, WizzedTheme is also just a zip file that replaces your system apps' PNG files with the S5 ones giving you the S5 look. Since this package does not replace any actual apk files or anything else important, it is considered safe for flashing.<br />
<br />
Please note that this only works in 4.2.2 Jelly Bean based firmwares. Due to the fact that the new KitKat firmware uses files with a .SPI extension, flashing this package will not replace a single icon.<br />
<br />

<br />

Ever since the release of Android 4.4.2 KitKat for the GT-I9190 there have been many questions being posted on the website, YouTube channel as well as the Facebook and Google+ pages about rooting and installing a custom recovery. The LTE and Duos already have foolproof rooting methods and now it's time we get one for the 3G.<br />
<br />
If you have already tried rooting your Galaxy S4 mini 3G using the old method which requires you to replace your existing kernel with an insecure one first, you probably ended up being in a bad situation such as a bootloop. This is because you are trying to put a kernel based off Jelly Bean onto KitKat.<br />
<br />
Also please keep in mind that the downloads included in this post are strictly meant for the GT-I9190 model only. You can check the Rooting category for guides on how to root the GT-I9192 and GT-I9195 (just make sure that the post begins with "(KitKat)" otherwise it is meant for Jelly Bean and you should not try it!).<br />

<ol>
<li>Download the CF-Auto-Root + Odin package to your computer.</li>

<li>Extract the CF-Auto-Root as well as the recovery zip files.</li>
<li>Inside the CF-Auto-Root folder you should see Odin along with required files as well as a .tar.md5 file.</li>
<li>Power off your phone and then begin holding the Volume down + Home + Power buttons together. Once you enter Download mode, press the Volume up button to have it say "Downloading..."</li>
<li>Now connect it to your computer and start the Odin program</li>
<li>In the Odin program, click on the PDA button and choose the .tar.md5 file that you got with the package.</li>
<li>Click on the Start button and wait for the procedure to finish. After it is done, your phone should automatically reboot.</li>
<li>Now repeat steps 5-6 and this time in the PDA field choose the recovery .tar.md5 file and click on Start.</li>
<li>Your phone will once again reboot and you should have root access as well as a custom recovery installed.</li>

Since the <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/03/s5-quick-settings-for-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini.html" target="_blank">old S5 notification screen/quick toggles</a> theme is not working on the new Samsung KitKat firmware anymore, it's about time we found another method to achieve this kind of look. Many people have asked in the comments why they don't see any changes in their KitKat firmware after flashing the above package and well, the answer is that in the old Jelly Bean firmware the graphics were fetched from .PNG files whilst KitKat fetches them from files with a .SPI extension - files that cannot be opened and edited with programs such as Paint or Photoshop.<br />
<br />

In this new method we will be using the Xposed framework and two modules without replacing any system files. This means that whenever you get tired of this look you can revert back to your old notification screen within a few seconds without the need to restore nandroid backups or flashing a whole stock firmware package all over again. Huge thanks to our fellow visitor <span class="post-byline"><span class="author publisher-anchor-color"><a data-action="profile" data-role="username" data-user="110059067" href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2014/07/samsung-rolling-out-kitkat-to-galaxy-s4mini-3g-i9190.html#">Ahmad Akhtar</a> who has shared information about the module.</span></span><br />
<span class="post-byline"><span class="author publisher-anchor-color"><br /></span></span>
<span class="post-byline"><span class="author publisher-anchor-color">This module mix has just one small problem, and that is the automatic brightness checkbox that turns into white once the two modules are enabled. Strangely enough, when disabling the S5 SystemUI module the white checkbox reverts back to its old look. Whether this is a conflic between two modules modding the notification screen or just an issue with the S5 SystemUI, nobody knows for now. Rest assured, an update will be posted once this issue gets solved.</span></span><br />

Samsung has done it once again with their lovely new TouchWiz UI look and boot animation included in their new flagship phone, the Galaxy S5. While there is still no complete S5 theme available for our Galaxy S4 mini, you can still somewhat transform it to look like one from a first look by setting the homescreen and lockscreen wallpapers, push the ported Galaxy S5 launcher into your system and some other things.<br />
<br />
But before we get onto those things, let us first take a look at the S5 boot animation. This boot animation was ported by xda member <a href="http://fahadali2315/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">fahadali2315</a> who originally posted this at the Note 3 boards but works perfectly on our Galaxy S4 mini.<br />
<br />
Another good thing I would like to mention is that you do not need to flash the custom boot animation enabler and all that stuff as this package contains the raw .qmg files including the sound files, no bootanimation.zip split into png frames.<br />
<br />

It has now been a year since the launch of this website and it has managed to gather so much useful content such as custom roms, kernels, tutorials, applications and all other sorts of goodies.<br />
<br />
As you're all probably aware already, this is the only website that gathers all sorts of information for the Galaxy S4 mini into one place including support when you have questions. In other words, we save you time from Google-ing all day looking for roms, kernels, tutorials and apps.

Since there have been many questions asked recently on the YouTube channel, the Facebook and Google+ pages about rooting the Galaxy S4 mini running the new KitKat firmware, I have decided to write an official post as well as a demonstration video.<br />
<br />
So you may have already tried rooting your new KitKat firmware using the <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2013/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt.html" rel="" target="_blank">old method</a> but you have ended up with just seeing the Samsung logo. Since the old rooting method required you to flash an insecure kernel, putting a kernel based off Jelly Bean into the new KitKat firmware would definitely not give you good results.<br />
<br />

Also please keep in mind that the downloads included in this post are meant strictly for the GT-I9195 model only. You can check the <a href="http://www.s4miniarchive.com/search/label/Root" rel="" target="_blank">Rooting category</a> for guides on how to root the GT-I9190 and GT-I9192 (just make sure that the post begins with "(KitKat)" otherwise it is meant for Jelly Bean and you should not try it!).<br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pre-requisites: </span></h2>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">You need your USB cable</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Samsung USB drivers - A simple installation of Samsung Kies should take care of that.</span></li>

</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE ROOTING PROCEDURE: </b>Flashing a custom recovery will trip your KNOX flag to 0x1. If you do not want that to happen, you should root your Galaxy S4 mini with <a href="https://towelroot.com/tr.apk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Towelroot</a>. Simply download it and follow the on-screen instructions.<b> </b></span><br />
<ul>
</ul>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Rooting GT-I9195 running KitKat:</span></h2>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Download the RootKit zip file and transfer it to your sdcard</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Download the CWM Recovery .tar.md5 file to your computer</span></li>
<li>Power off your phone</li>
<li>Hold the Volume down + Home + Power buttons together to boot into Download mode</li>
<li>Now press the Volume up button to have it display the text "Downloading..."</li>
<li>Start the Odin program</li>
<li>Click on the PDA field and choose the CWM Recovery .tar.md5 file and leave the rest of the options as they are.</li>
<li>Before you click on the Start button, grab your phone and be ready to hold the Volume up + Home keys.</li>
<li>Now click on the Start button and the transfer should begin. It should take just a few seconds and as soon as the screen goes black, hold the Volume up + Home keys as already mentioned in step 8</li>
<li>You should now be in CWM Recovery. Choose <b>install zip</b></li>
<li>Then choose <b>choose zip from /storage/sdcard1/</b></li>
<li>Now choose the <b>S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip</b> file</li>
<li>Choose <b>Yes</b> to confirm when asked</li>
<li>After the zip file has been flashed, go back and choose <b>reboot system now</b>.</li>

Samsung rolling out KitKat to Galaxy S4 mini 3G (GT-I9190)

The long wait is finally over as all of the international models of the Galaxy S4 mini now have official Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware. Just one week after the S4 mini Duos got updated to Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the international 3G variant has also begun receiving the update.<br />

Just like the Duos model, the 3G model's first KitKat update also started to come from Russia with PDA I9190XXUCNG1, CSC I9190SERCNG1                    and MODEM I9190XXUCNG1 and of course, instead of waiting for an official release for your country to come out, you can easily flash this at any time as SamMobile already has the firmware packaged and uploaded at their website. <br />
<br />

<br />
The installation is the same as flashing a stock Jelly Bean firmware. If you are having problems after flashing such as force closes, boot into Recovery mode and wipe data (BEWARE! It deletes all of your data stored on your internal storage). If wiping doesn't help, try to flash the firmware one more time. These new KitKat firmwares are known to have flashing issues and may require multiple flashes as apparently some pieces of the firmware don't get replaced.

If you're sick of using TouchWiz and have no desire to use custom roms to customize your phone, then here is a pure AOSP (Android Open Source Project) rom that has been compiled straight from Google's sources without any modifications included such as the ones which you may find on projects such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, Carbon, Paranoid, etc. By using this rom you can see your Galaxy S4 mini as a Google Play Edition S4 mini or even a Nexus!<br />

After testing the rom for a whole hour I have found no problems so far with its performance, stability and features. Considering that this is Android 4.4.4, you may even try and enable the ART runtime and give it a try for a day or two. You will be amazed by the difference in performance, boot time and app startup time.<br />
