[Q] [i9195] General custom ROM question for S4 Mini

Hi guys,
I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and I am fairly certain, that I want to use Cyanogenmod on this device. Unfortunately there are no s4 mini custom roms released yet, so I thought I would try to port it myself. While this is my first android phone, I have gone through the flashing process on the phones of a few friends and I am a long-time linux user and developer, so I feel pretty confident, that I can do it.
I did some reading, but still have a few questions:
Is it correct, that Samsung smartphone bootloaders are generally unlocked? (Unless it's a carrier specific version)
Is it correct, that it is not *required* (but useful) to have CWM recovery (or similar) on samsung phones to install custom roms?
Heimdall or odin can flash them anyway?
What would I have to do to permanently brick the device? Can this happen if I mess up the kernel, recovery or anything else?
Is this guide a good resource for porting CWM to the i9195?
Regards,
Flyser
P.S.: Can we have a seperate s4 mini section in this forum?

bump

plz if u got any rom for s4 mini >> plz give me a link .. i need to port it for my htc sensation >> thanks

cyanogen might work. or maybe some rom from similar device.

some news about?

This is ridiculous... how isn't such a mainstream device supported? It's the top selling phone currently in my country...

Maybe you don't look in the right Forum section? the Root Kits and CRoms are currently in Development. Looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980 So be patient. Don't forget there are all Homemade.

Samsung S7390

Hi All,
I'm Jack Droid and I'm a new member.
I have a Samsung Smartphone model S7390.
Surfing into the internet, I understood that there is not much development for this device...
Maybe because that device is not so appreciated but anyway, I have this model!
Moreover, I did the root and I found an CWM recovery that it's ok for it but what I have never found, is a custom rom.
My question is : do you know if exist a device that could be quite similar to Trend Lite S7390 so that I can use a rom for that and try to flash into my device ?
Many thanks for your attention and waiting for your kind reply.
All the best
Max

you dont want to try a rom just because it is made for a "similar" phone. it is very likely to brick your phone.
the rom must say it is compatible or made for your phone, or you cant use it.
unfortunately, i can find no roms for your phone, as you already found out.

Hi bweN diorD,
thanks for your reply.
I suspected that was not possible to flash a rom for another device into mine but considering that development for my phone is not so much acitve, I was thinking that could be a solution but it seems that it's not a good idea!
I was thinking to S5280 but it has a dual core cpu if I remember well...
Anyway, I have to leave my phone just with CF root and CWM recovery and considering the actual situation, I'm happy in that way !
I will continue my hacking experience with my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition that has much more development.
I also have seen in this very good forum that a member is development a CyanogenMod for that tablet so thjat I'm following the evolution and when the rom will be rock stable, I will proceed to flash it.
I thank you again for your support and I wish you a very good evening!
See you into the forum and all the best!
EDIT
I'm following the development on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52978200
S7392 is the same phone of S7390, only S7392 has two slim but electronical components are the same.
Maybe this could be a good solution!

Well you can try fancylite rom

Sorry for the late response.
Sounds like an hardware related issue.
As I don't have all needed information ... and am not that familiar with hardware repairs of smart phones, I can't tell you what exactly the reason is ... and how to fix it.
But you can ask in the [SUPPORT THREAD] The Galaxy ~S5~ All in one support thread!**NOOB FRIENDLY** by Ricky Divjakovski.
I know that some custom ROMs have disabled the "closing the back" message. But I don't know if you are willing to flash a custom ROM.
Hopefully you get better help and advices in the S5 help thread.
Good luck!
Signature:
Device: SGS5 (SM-G900F)
ROM: AllianceROM v10
Kernel: Stock XXU1BOH4 kernel
Recovery: TWRP recovery by Ktoonsez
Modem: XXU1BOJ1

As he said, If you have already have an custom Rom Flashed, you can try installing WANAM XPOSED for disabling these warnings.
But if you have an TW original, not sure if you are willing to flash your phone.
The camera lens glass you probally have broken the camera. so he isn't taking photos.
