Hi Guys,
I am new here and not yet allowed to post in all forums and threads.
I got a a Chinese galaxy s4 i9500 and first wanted to install cynogen mod which is not officially supported for my device. But since I used to have a XIAOMI 2A, I love that GUI.
So my QUESTION: Is there an actual MIUI Version for my device (chinese i9500 WCDMA) and how do I install it. Will any of the sensors, like the IR-Sensor be affected, I mean will I still be able to use it ?
Thank you in advance

Hi there!
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini l9195L (Latin version), which only can only officially upgrade to 4.2.2
Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.3 (or later) using custom firmware for a regular non-latin l9195 device?
I have researched many websites and forums but cannot find the answer.
Thank you so much in advance.
I was about to ask the same thing in the Kitkat thread. Hope someone can answer to this.

Its better NOT to use firmware/ROMs meant for devices of different model number. Yes I9195 and I9195L have same hardware but there is a reason why sammy uses different model numbers. Wait for official kitkat, go to sammobile firmware section and search for I9195L.
I do not think you will be able to flash any stock based kitkat custom roms on I9195L. It gives error as it is looking for i9195 and u have i9195l.
Be patient. never be complacent.
Hello all i saw many peoples have 4.4.4 or 5.0 on their phones and i wanna update my kernel and rom to newer, i have currently 4.4.2 N7100XUFNG3.
OTA
Hello and thank you for using Q&A,
you should be able to upgrade your Note 2 via OTA function in settings, if you did not install any custom kernels or custom recovery. If your phone is completly stock, check Settings - About Phone - SystemUpgrade. There you will find an update for Androıd 4.3. If you want a newer version of Android, you need to install a custom ROM like CyanogenMod. Then you will have Androıd 6.0.1 with newest security patches on your phone.
Check here for Androıd 6.0.1 ROMs:
Galaxy Note II Android Development
Kind regards

Unfortunately, there needs to be a touchwiz base for the device to make a custom rom from. So the only touchwiz custom roms for the i9195 are 4.4.2 kitkat or earlier.
Also it is nearly impossible to port a touchwiz rom from a different device unless they have very similar hardware

No i mean custom roms like V-rom ; Hopelite ....etc
If your looking for touchwiz UI just get a CM based Rom and get any old touchwiz theme off the playstore but if you want the awful fork of android that is touchwiz then no there is no MM version for the S4 mini
isn't there anything like SuperMan nor Electron Team for i9195?!?

if useful I found the following, google "Update Galaxy S4 Mini to Android 5.1.1 S6 Mini Lollipop Custom Firmware (by Saad Khan) ".
I tried to install it via CWM but haven't succeeded yet... let me know if anyone does in the meantime.
the other one I found is googling "Update Galaxy S4 Mini (All Variants) to Android 5.0 S5 Mini Lollipop Custom ROM (by adityapal, senior XDA member)"

i'd say it's better to keep the stock rom than installing those custom roms with those annoying bugs
Can anyone suggest what is the closest device from which it could be possible to port Touchwiz LP or MM for S4 mini?!?!?

It's more like 3.5 years old, released middle of 2013.
Unfortunately, old devices like this one you can have old touchwiz or newer custom roms. Luckily we still have a really good group of developers even now working on android 7.1.1
but i9195 is june 2015...

That's the S4 mini plus (i9195l)
I think it is possible to port TW LP to S4 mini. S3 neo and Grand 2 also had LP port from S5 mini(check motion rom on xda). And Grand 2 and S3 neo are about to get TW MM as well as S5 mini got update recently its WIP.
I don't own this device nor do i have much experience of port TW but if i get to know a device close to S4 mini and TW LP &/or MM updates available then please tell me
So please LMK if there is a device close to S4 mini

Do not install the M305M stock rom onto M305F via Odin. Even if successful you will get many issues due to the CSC code and the Region specific software configuration. Why do you want to install the M305M firmware might I ask?
