S4 Mini DUOS (GT-I9192) [Recognize Genuine Device] [KitKat for S4 Mini DUOS] - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi friends,
I'm Dinesh and new user of android. Don't have more experience with that. So I want to know some information from master like you.
1. How can I recognize my S4 Mini Duos is a genuine one or not ?
2. According to RAM manager my Ram size is 1.31GB, but it should be 1.5 GB. Isn't it ?

3. My firmware is for KSA (Saudi Arabia) but I'm live in Sri Lanka. How ever KitKat still not released for any region except of Russia. Then if I download and install it on my device what will happen ?
What will happen to apps which are already installed ?
What will happen to contacts, logs, messages and etc. ?
Will I receive any update notification of that KitKat version on my device ?
Can I update via KIES or OTA in future ?
Can I go back for my fresh Android 4.2.2 which is still I have ?
What are the differnces between same version released for different regions (KSA, SER, SLK, INS etc.)
How can I change my region KSA to SLK ?

4. What are the negative things have with kitkat?
Do you have any bad experience of kitkat for S4 mini Duos ?
Is it better than 4.2.2 ?
Somebody says Battery discharge is little bit fast in KitKat. Is that true ?
Please let me know about above mentioned things and also other special things you know about S4 mini DUOS and Firmware.
I hope you will reply me as soon as possible and I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.

Well first than anything i can tell you that your s4 mini is genuine.
Second ram memory in fact its 1.5 but always it is a little bit less if it is 1 gb will be 980 mb alsonif you buy a 16 gb pen drive it will have 14 gb instead son your 1.3 its ok i have it.
Third you can download the russia version im already using that on my s4 mini and its work very good you have to flash it with odin... (If you do youbwill have to flash the rom two times for better results) And dosent matter the region it will work.
About the negative expiriencies still dnt have nothing bad about kit kat. So try it.
Yes its better than 4.2.2 cuz its save more battery. Well you have yo unstall some samsung apps and google apps that will drain your battery after you update your phone to kit kat root it and start to delete apps but be careful.
Hope this info help you out another question? Cheers

:good:
Thanks mate.
now I try to install kitkat (Russia) version.
So what will happen my already installed apps, contacts, messages and etc ?
and I want to uninstall unnecessary samsung apps which are come with firmware. How can I do that ?
If something happen in wrong can I go back for Jelly Bean 4.2.2 which is already I have ?

I've installed russian kitkat firmware with odin, it works fine except for some unexplainable troubles:
I cannot change lock screen wallpaper, everything I choose it turn back to stock one (the one with blue sky and colored baloons):
Smart standby stopped working, even if switched on the small eye in notification area disappear after one second.
About battery management, I've noticed no real improvement.

I downloaded n flashed it on my Grand immediately after opening this thread.
No problem happened but u should reset factory default after flashed it to have pure stock rom
This rom booted up wit Brazil (Portuguese) language and u can easy change it to English
Also it included many TIM's and other bundled application, u should remove all by using Clean Master or Titanium BU
GUI is slightly different to 4.1.2, especially Setting, and i like this GUI more than 4.1.2
(However no more Development in Setting)
Unfortunately, i'm now facing to a small problem after installing Philz CWM & rooting this device & deleting unwanted applications : whenever the phone reboot, language automatically turns back to Brazil ) Don't know how to solve this ^_^
I confirm this Brazil ROM can update with THW version (through Odin)
Other issues: in stock 4.2.2, SSG is hotter than 4.1.2 though it's smoother. After changing launcher to Nova, temperature seems become better

The language change issue is due to the new update of SuperSU, ver 1.69. Just uninstall the update reboot and it should fix the problem. I am back to ver 1.25 that came the root zip. You can probably find ver 1.65 somewhere. But, the old version works for me. Chainfire said on his Google + that he is aware of the problem and will fix it on the next update.
Thanks to k2wl & hunter0389, confirm the language problem solved by changing to older SuperSU ( I used 1.34)
Btw, do you use Motion : go on top by tapping 2 times on top of your Samsung phone in Setting> My Device> Motion & Gesture > Motion. I didn't see this motion in new 4.2.2 ( I used to use this motion in 4.1.2)
I also feel the Smart Stay doesn't work "Smart" as 4.1.2 ^_^
Motion : go on top

Motion only works on Contact. It is pretty useless in my opinion. 4.2.2 does not have it. Smart Stay has never really worked well on 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 for me. So, i turned it off.

Please Help

The closet i could find is this..

bin droid - it's stock rom OC to 1.8 but with aroma installer so u can remove bloatware.
You could install this and remove nothing and install non of the addons and be pretty close to stock.

I'm hoping to restore the tablet to factory stock! So ideally I need a link to the official Samsung UK ROM and as I said I can find every variant but not UK.
As a last resort! What would happen if I installed a Different countries ROM on my tablet ? Would it just not be compatible?
www(.)sammobile.com/firmwares/
just enter your model number and region on the webpage.
If you're flashing official stock rom, it doesn't matter what country it is, there could be just different bloatware.

Download that and checked the CSC. By default it is set to NEE (Sweden) so thats not the BTU (UK) version.
It seems to work OK though. Better than the custom Rom I've had. Any implications in terms of updates and stuff like that as a result of potentially having a NON UK variant of the software?

[Q] About upgrading 4.1.2 Note

Hi all
i am a beginner here and i am trying to catch up
to the point
i bought a new note 8.0 lte version from Sweden , it came with 4.1.2 out of the box
after setting it up i searched for updates but they tablet keep telling me no updates i know there is 4.2.2 and even 4.4.2
my tablet info after dialing *#1234# is
PDA: N5120XXBME1
CSC: N5120OXXBME2
MODEM: N5120XXBMD9 and i found this version is for nordic countries with code Nee
after searching sammobile i found this version
PDA: N5120XXDNE4
CSC: N5120OXXDNE1
MODEM: N5120XXDNE4
also with product code NEE
so my questions
1- is it ok to flash this room on mine ?
2- i read that i can even flash any - note 8 .0 LTE kitkat room - if i keep my moden info from the original room
is that true ??
3-i read also due to bootloader version if i updated to 4.4 i cannt revert back to my 4.1 is that true?

Does it tell you that the tablet has been changed or that there are no updates? If it is the first one, its probably because its rooted. If it is the later one i dont really know what could cause it, might be a branded tablet or something. Never been without Root so i have never done OTA updates on the Note8
1. It should be completely OK to flash that ROM
2. I have flashed several ROMs and kept the modem files and it works fine, tho with the ROM you are about to use you can flash it all without any problem as it is made for nordic countries
3. I have read the same, I have not tried to go back from 4.4 so i can not say if it is possible or not. But i am sure there are loads of threads about reverting and the KitKat bootloader.
4. Welcome to a really sweet tablet, tho there are not many custom ROMS developed for it, but those that are, are working really well
Thanks my savor for the answer
about my no update thing , if i checked for updates i got
"The latest updates have already been installed "
it was a crazy offer from Elgiganten nearly 50% off price i got it for 1990 sek although due to web error on elgiganten site i managed to buy it Electroword
so this not branded ?
and about bootloader thing , as i read we cannt replace it back , we can flashi4.1 or 4.2 with odin but still the bootloader will be 4.4 and many have issues with this combo
i read that 4.4 cause some problem for some users like spen 2mm off etc so i like to have to the option to completely downgrade or at least i will update to 4.2
what do you think
by the way did the Nordic version got 4.2 update ? i cannt find it on sammobile
and again thank you very much

I dont think we got 4.2 at all, i used Civatos ROM during 4.2 and now i use rooted stock and i have no problems at all actually. S Note might be a little bit more sluggish to write in than before but nothing major anyways.
I have also read about the 2mm off center Spen, i had that in 4.1, and then it was more or less than 2mm depending on where on the screen i pointed.
I it were up to me, i would upgrade, but if you want to be able to revert back to 4.1 that would be a problem. Maybe try a custom ROM first? But that would mean breaking warranty and if something happens you will have all the hassle of returning it to stock with no trace of custom ROMs I have done this three times so i know how frustrating it is,
The problem i had then with my Note8 was that the Spen would not register on a 2-3cm wide strio on the upper part of the screen. I think this was because i used a magnetic case (non OEM). and the two times following it was the service station that messed things up so that i had to revoke the purchase and get a new Note8 So i would suggest that if you want to protect your Note you should get a good backcover and then buy a tempered glass screenprotector from ebay. I work at a wire rod mill and i have the note with me everywhere and it doesnt have a scratch on it (plus it fits in the breastpocket of my flameproof jacket). I do not work directly in the production line but i am at the factory floor more than half my workday
A little sidetrack from the ROM-talk but i thought i should give my 2 cents on the Note, now i have to sleep... even tho we get a "free hour" I dont want to be a wreck in the morning
Thanks again and again
and i think i will try a custom first as you suggested , i read that i can have 4.4 room based on 4.1 bootloader
so i can check 4.4
and thanks about the case and protector advice , my main use for the tablet is in home so fro now i got a samsung book cover for it it is not the powerful protection but i liked that it is thin .
i was afraid of magnetic cases -non oem - as they have strong magnet so i bought the oem
have a nice dreams and for me it is custom room searching time

This is my advice to you ,
from my personal experience with Samsung devices, over the years .!!
Firstly, there can be many reasons for lags and problems .??
eg .
It can be another app that's causing the lag ?
It t can maybe be that....
'something /app ,setting ,system app is corrupted .."??
you have maybe disabled / freeze an app and you having a knock on effect ,modified
or tweaked something .
Bottom line ,
you have to look for the "culprit " that's causing all the issues .????
Best is to start from scratch ...factory reset .!!!!!
It should help .?
Yes, i know it's an big issue ..factory resetting or as i found out .....
I normally ,did a factory reset ,then flashed stock firmware ( no root attempts etc )
In my case i usually have about 200/300 apps installed .
It's a big job ..big hazzle/effort , to re install
and yes no backup "re installs" except eg contacts ,calendar entries etc .
No old backup ,Device settings ,no data etc
Fresh installs , a few apps at a time and test your device for issues ..each time
eg for a day or 3 .
Then carry on with another few installs ....
Further ,
i could be a Samsung firmware issue ..in which case Samsung should fix/patch it ..later.?
But , then most of other users , would have had similar issues, as you ?
Also ,I should know , how big hazzle ..effort factory is .!
If the current situation is annoying/frustrating you ,then its worth a try .?
but bottom line ..in all of my cases ( with my past devices )
i either found the culprit app or corrupted setting etc ..issue .!!
Never ever .. have i flashed "back" to solve an issue .!
Good luck
