Please note this ROM is only for the SPH-L520 (Sprint) only!!! Do not try flashing this on any other variant. Search XDA for your device, as there are loads of other ROMS for your INTL version
What works?

Great to see a new builder, good job!
Thanks
Many thanks for this ROM. It installed without the slightest hicckup and is working fine. Been looking and trying to replace the OEM software for quite some time now with no success. This was a breath of fresh air. Great coding. Keep up the fine work. Best Regards. Yachtsman
I got it working figured out there's a tool to do it, ty awesome work btw.
Heres's an updated version of Lineage 14.1 which includes November's Security Patch and an updated CDMA(I hope I spelled that correctly)
Updated by: @arco68 (thank him for keeping the s4 mini sprint variant alive)
ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/file/4pwp2...-20171121_233335-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltespr.zip
Thanks for posting! Got it working on my Sprint S4 mini.
Thanks for posting! Got it working on my Sprint S4 mini, too.
I use the S4 Mini's as media players. Lineage 14.1 has better media options than the original OS. Great player for $30 or even $50. My Rockboxed Sansa Clip is wearing out. Smart Audiobook Player is great for audio books. The really great part of using the S4 Mini is the ability to load new content from my personal cloud.
Thanks for the awesome work Michael! any idea which one of your nougat roms are funtioning the best; this one, aokp, or RR? thanks
Also any plans around here to experiment here with oreo or p? I know as it is, that getting nougat is great for such an old device, but its the last true mini sprint phone out there...
Awesome job Michael!!! I really like the size of this phone, and I am hoping that this ROM keeps my phone running for a while.
However, I found a problem when I flashed the phone: I cannot put an account to the phone. In other words, when I go to settings > accounts> + add account, my choices are Exchange, Personal (Imap) and Personal (Pop3). The choice for adding a google account for the phone to sybchronize itself with the google services: play store, App Data, Docs, Drive, etc is not there. Did I miss a step in the flashing?
I sideloaded google play, but it fails because there isn't an account on the phone. Again, Did I miss a step?
Thank you for your time and shared expertise.
R
I cycled thru the imaging, flashing, gapps thing, and now the phone has connectivity to the app store.
-- Ill create a new post about this, but when I tried to activate the phone, I needed to update the PRL (Sprint) does anyone know how to do this?
Thx
Flashed the original software into the phone, did all the updates and reflashed lineage, so far so good: Everything works as the OP promised. Great Work!!!
R
I installed the original sprint software, updated everything on the phone. Then rooted, flashed and installed Lineage. It has worked about 95%. The WI-FI connectivity has a problem.
- Sometimes it does not let go of the wifi connection when I leave my house & it drains the battery very fast, shut off WI-FI & the problem is fixed.
- Sometimes it does not connect to the wifi, and cannot find a signal (multiple & strong signals available), reboot device & it connects
Does any one have any idea how to solve the issues with WI-FI?
R
Halp?
Spamming this question here in case anyone else had a similar experience:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/sph-l520-ting-4g-lte-t3817775
(TL;DR - can't get 4G/LTE on Ting even though everything else works perfectly?)
Curiously, I installed this rom on two sph-l520s successfully. After a month, I put back on one phone the Samsung 4.4.2 os. I did a twrp backup.
Several months later, I tried to restore the lineage backup. On reboot, this phone gets stuck with google framework stopped as well as other similar errors. I tried doing a new install after a wipe and it hangs at the lineage logo forever.
After many attempts and restores did not work, I installed the resurrection rom successfully.
Downloaded over and over and so on.
Now I have lineage 14.1 on one phone and resurrection on the other.
Anyone have a clue why this rom will not work on one sph-l520?
I made a TWRP build for the Sprint variant, and also builds of Lineage 15.1 and 16.0 if that's of interest.

Flash custom ROM
Video with links to files, and other hopefully useful info. FOR A SOLUTION!
I had a really long post with useful info containing an answer maybe not "the answer" Wanted me to instead post a comment.. Below are the instructions on how to do it according to a Youtube Video I found. While I haven't tried this method, It looks sound to me, they've included all the files needed in a link to MEGA. I'll re-share without the password / decryption key if the poster agrees only.. I do highly suggest Phoenix ROM if you're on a kltevze, it come included with eveyrthing you're looking for and I've used it before In fact, I tried it last night but was unable to get into my phone past the boot password screen I think because the system ui kept crashing. while I have used this version, I may try twelve, since I prefer AOSP or LOS based roms, I want as light as possible maybe even removing google and going with MICRO G which I used fairly successfully for over a month, It isn't perfect, sometimes the location addon apps crash, but there are many, and it may just be that the ones I was using crashed, and not the ones you need yourself.. But MICRO G is worth the piece of mind to me coming from an encrypted phone, No I have nothing to hide really but Alphabet/Google already know enough about me through the use of their "FREE and Very Handy I might add, Services Ahem) By the way, Phoenix can be used with either an unlocked bootloader or safestrap if not.. Just get the right one.. I may end up going with a rooted deodexed TW rom, and add xposed to get the features I love from RR and other LOS based ROMS. With further ado, heres the link to the youtube instructional video I found, I really wish it was written out or could simple installed as a flashable zip which shouldn't be hard to make, but it is what it is for now.. And again seems correct to me if you don't want o go with a custom rom like Phoenix for kltevzw.
Well upon testing the Youtube link didn't play so here it is both Title for searching and another link. Install Galaxy S7 Touchwiz on S5! (Marshmallow) /URL]

I used Heimdal to flash to a more recent factory TW before flashing Phoenix which requires at least PB1. I think. Check their OP under user JKRUSE or near the top of the VZE dev thread.
This is Heimdal as found in synaptic from a buntu based distroand should be the same in any Debian based or any other distro for that matter as I've found it in many repos for different distro's, I think a ppa is available with newer builds, but don't hold me to that.
Heimdall <- commandline version.
Heimdall is a tool for flashing firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S
devices over a USB connection. It accomplishes this using the same
protocol as Odin, Samsung's internal Windows-only firmware updater.

If I do either agian soon, I'll report back with results. Again, I know Phoenix worked fine. But I'd imagine a plain TW rooted ROM that you debloat yourself and maybe add Xposed for many features found in Phoenix and in AOSP/LOS based ROM's such as RR/CR-DROID for those who prefer additional tweaking and other enhancements. Again I trouble just last night with the latest V15 of Phoenix on boot and don't know why other than my fully ecnypted device and password on boot feature But either way again if you test before me let me know the result as well. I do need a new battery for mine since it's the one it came with but that's a story for another thread, when I bought my S5 last spring for beans, (with the unlockable BL, I had to have it since my S3 had died. and I couldn't afford a new phone) and I could easily get a day plus when service is good with about 4+ hours SOT. But lately I'm using charging by the end of the day. Haven't decided yet on a stock Sammy battery or a more expesive, Thicker, heavier, but much longer lasting extended battery.
Sorry for such a long winded post. All my posts are this way if you know me. I do apologize and need to be more brief but I'm more of a lurker and searcher for what I need to know and post very seldom especially with this much what I think could be useful to someone.
If it happens to be useful please hit the "Thankss" button, it could help here, and even when looking for a job as I am... Hahahaha.. Getting laid off work blows in my area of the country.

Hey guys,
Since latest update (v0.37.0) of Pokemon Go, rooted devices users are blocked from entering the game. See this article on xda-dev.
The only (known) solution to bypass this is to follow this guide : http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/11/guide-play-pokemon-go-0-37-rooted-android-magisk/
BUT...
It seems that flashing Magisk-v6 modifies kernel or something because on Mokee's CM13 ROM, i don't have GPS or internet data anymore.
If i restore boot from TWRP, GPS and internet are working again, but not Magisk.
Is there a CM13 ROM for Kenzo (usable as a daily driver) that works with Magisk?
There is another alternative by chainfire, but need the latest systemless supersu v2.78 SR1!
It is experimental and may not work for everyone.
Also I don't think it works with xposed!
See here

Thanks for your help! Since it won't work with Xposed, i will wait for a stable release.
It's good to see that Chainfire is involved.
That's good news. will give it a shot sometime. If anyone tries it before please let me know what you did and how it went
If this gets a stable release I might give it a try. I'm running official CM13.0 btw.
Okay, latest stable release of CM13 official works perfectly with Magisk-v6 on my Kenzo.
But to play Pokemon Go 0.39, systemless Xposed need to be disabled (so a reboot is needed).
Plus, SafetyNet Helper app returns "false" to the "CTS profile match" test. So i guess Android Pay won't work.
i just stoped playing since they forced me the update
no harse feeling. wasnt fun anymore anyway
was lvl32 and used pokemon go controls to get to the nearest city 25km from my house since there is nothing around me.
i played once a day toke gyms back if they where taken thats all .
anyway i dont miss it to much trouble to get it working no worth it

If you feel that way, fine, but nobody wants to hear your moaning or that you are going back to Samsung. Anyway, afaik Gapps packages are really intended for installing on AOSP based custom ROMs such as CM, that adopt the Nexus filesystem. They may or may not work on OEM skinned firmwares. If they do then you can consider it lucky. If they don't, as with this ROM (an OEM dev ROM, ffs) then that's life. Not something to be complaining about here.
Hi kanagawa ben,
fine to hear your opinion, but you can not give feedback for the rest of the world.
i can very well write my opinion and when you dont like it, dont read it.
xda is a forum and not a military highschool. dry&cool
gapps from opengapps.org have been worked very fine in all my and friends phones untill today.
but you are right they must not run on every rom
the same gapps from not working here, working very well now here http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/revolution-5-9-466-developers-t3515313 from base nearly the same rom,
i have reinstalled the original build ins, because of several reasons
this year i have buyed 3 chinesee phones nearly same class as max2
everyone has made me different problems over weeks and month
yes bad english
cheers
Does anyone use Geofence and works correctly? I have configured it in the admin application for smart blocking apps, wifi and sound but it doesn't work!!!
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery - use my twrp
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Magisk (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and Magisk

How are you friend Valera! ?? First of all I appreciate this new port of samsung oreo. It is much better than the previous one due to the fact that it is from tablet to tablet. I installed it 2 hours ago and everything is wonderful, I'm probably my daily driver from now on. I will comment on bugs that I have found, some already mentioned in the OP. Camera does not work
- processing error when starting samsung account session
- blue filter
- gps seems to work
- I have a book cover and the screen does not turn on or off with the magnet
this is all for the moment, while I will continue watching a series in netflix with chromecast that works well in this rom, also the smart view. Thank you! It is a huge job!
Great ... I'm waiting port for t585 version. Good day!
which branch do you use ?? the TouchWiz-8.0? also if the book cover feature isn't working, i saw that the feature isn't enabled in your defcon.
Good morning!
I continue with this rom and it goes very well, but I have found one more problem and that is that the bluetooth is not activated.
Thank you very much for your great work!
Thanks man!!! Btw, can you add navbar? I reqlly would like to see ìt on a touchwizz rom for the tab a??
Nice work Valera. Waiting for t585 version hope you will fix camera also :good:
Hi all
Added port for lte version too.
Also I added small patch - I had remove encrypt data\sdcard, it's really annoying for me - I need backup\restore firmware, because I often back to los 15\16 and then back to port.

Today there was a new stock 8.1 firmware for the P580 (same as our but with s-pen). This is our related tablet with same hardware. As result now we have ideal fully worked port. Right now for T580 only, soon I'll finish it for T585.
This is good, and I hope soon we will get original stock firmware too.
Another great news... btw spen futures can be removed? Because it is unuseful for T585.
On Sammobile you can download original 8.1 FW for p580, p585.

I am struggling to get the ROM working on my p580. With Odin it works but when I make a flash able zip with superr kitchen it stuck at the boot screen. Also the twrp isn't working. How do you got your twrp working on Oreo ?
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
Oh Valera! why do you do it? LOL
Just kidding! You make me after a tired day of studies in the middle of the night I put to flash my tablet! Hahaha
The port from the Tab P580 must surely go even better, so I'll download it right away, thank you very much for all your great work!
And apparently the official rom oreo for our Tab A T580 / 585 will be launched soon, or so we hope. Maybe this will help future development.
Thank you very much Valera!

Of course, rom flashed on my tab T580, this version of the P580 works great, I did not find a single error. Thank you very much for this great work.
It is very fast, there is more ram available with respect to nougat, I really love it, new daily driver!
Greetings Valera and thanks for everything
The first problem that is detected so far is that the bluetooth is not activated
Yeah, bluetooth won't turn on in the P580 port.

Hi guys,
this is my first experience report about my new Poco X3 NFC with Miumi 12 after 14 days in use....
To explain: 2 years ago i got my first xiaomi redmi note 6 pro global. This machine is a fine thing, but i never liked the miui surface. So i decided to unlock and root the phone and use a custom rom. This was the very best decision for me.
So far, so good... At least i bougth my new Poco X3 NFC and i got 14 days ago. I heard a lot of "good" things about the new Miui 12, so that was one reason for me to catch this deal....
After nearby 14 days using this phone with this original surface Miui 12 i can say: it sucks, nothing else but the original apps are running smooth. It is nearly impossible to run an alternative launcher, really nothing runs flawless on this terrible, awful surface! The simplest things like "notification badges" etc. are not present, they still are not in function...
Ok, Miui "spend" a launcher: Poco Launcher. Hmm, nearby, but (for me) lightyears away from any kind of personalization. Change icons? Runs partially... Want to unlink the fu..... ring- and notification sounds? Misrepresented!!! This (for me) confusing settings menu? There is no better thing than a clean android system or custom rom!
The next annoying crap is the annoying advertising - i spend a "little" time to "destroy" this really sucking "feature".....
Oh, before i forgot: i tried to run the launchair launcher, ruthless launcher, nova launcher, microsoft launcher and at least hyperion launcher. With all this launchers it is on my phone totally impossible to run all features - on every other phone with custom rom or original they run like hell!
The one and only way to operate this phone "fine and smoothly" is this: leave it in its original condition! But who wants this? Personalization? Inadequate....
But yes, there are two things they are fine: the energy options and the camera app. But thats it for me.
So, this is my experience after 14 days and the next thing i will do is unlock the bootloader, install a recovery systen (maybe twrp or orange fox) and root the phone with magisk. With this solution i hope to improve some things - i 'll keep testing this
Best wishes and greets
I'm using Nova Launcher on all devices since a couple of years. Mui has the habit of preventing background tasks and autostart(never saw this before) for all apps except Xiaomi and Google ones and probably a few other. Autostart, notifications and widgets i only need for a handful of apps(including the launcher), and none of these worked out of the box.
But all relevant options are bundled in the app's context menu, no scrolling thru huge lists including all the system apps. Simply allow autostart, disable powersaving and give the app more or less all access rights. Running pretty well now. It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful, so thats not an issue at present.
Hi lecorbusier,
thanks for your answer.
With your sentence >It's only the most bloated phone i ever had, but also the most powerful< your totally right
Yesterday i unlocked my X3, flashed TWRP - and wow: System destroyed....
Turned to fastboot, flashed OrangeFox, puh, it 's not broken....
Flashed Magisk also and today i will see what happen....
Lmao, who told you that MIUI is a good thing. It's ok, but compared to custom ROM it sucks.
If you want to try custom ROM, ArrowOS is the best optimized custom ROM + Void custom kernel If you want maximum fluidity/smoothness as it's optimized for minimum latency and jank. Battery life is still good in my usage, maybe 2 hours less maximum, but it's worth it. With stock kernel, SOT is a bit better.
ArrowOS gets improvements every day on ROM side with fixes & improvements + occasionally improvements & fixes to the device side.
I tried 5 other custom ROMs (crDroid, Resurrection Remix, LineageOS 17.1, CorvusOS, NitrogenOS) and that's my experience.
Everything works except fast charging information with Xiaomi charger (all custom ROMs have this issue) & Miracast (which I'm not sure if it works or not since I never used it).
So all in all, just flash custom ROM in this one too!
Devil's advocate here ( ), Xiaomi.eu with updated firmware and Stormbreaker kernel feels smooth as butter here -- but it takes some intensive tweaking.
Hi there, good morning from Germany
A short "update"....
After "repairing" (see 3 posts above) I've done the following:
Installed Lsposed (Magisk), installed CustoMIUIzer and started "playing" with the mass of settings in it....
What should I say: I'm pretty impressed.
Almost everything is going as hoped and does what it should! Till now I got no numbers on my notification badges, but this is a part I can live with.
That doesn't mean that i have changed my opinion about the MIUI-Surface, especially the terribly nested settings.... But with a bit of work you can establish a relatively well-running system that you can personalize according to your wishes.
So for the moment I'm pretty happy, but I'm still testing...
Ah, before i forget to mention: magisk and safetynet was another problem. I have found a module that works (for me), look here
So, thats it for today, many greetings and happy easter
Hello everyone,
here 's another short update for miui....
The good news first: it runs, Ruthless Launcher is working, original camera app is fine, other things: see my post above...
That 's it!
Unlock by (or with) bluetooth??? Fail! It seems that Xiaomi only supports its own devices - what a crap.... I clearly miss this function.
I stick to my opinion: miui sucks....
The only point that keeps me from installing a custom rom is the camera app (at least for the moment)...
My conclusion: to use all possibilities of this device you "must" use a custom rom, otherwise you have to live with the restrictions

My main reason to keep Xiaomi.eu, too. When LOS becomes official, I'll brace myself for intensive testing of camera alternatives...
for me, personally, i dont like miui as well. luckily we have a bunch of custom roms out there and even i found a better rom for my daily use, i still try flashing some rom to experience some other features. tho, at the end of the day, i end up using my rom that i am using daily. if you want the rom with alot of customization, have a good BB, and have miui camera, i suggest to use Ancient OS
Hi all together
@dahrel22: thanks for your tip, it seems like this is what i was looking for...
I think I'll test it out, I can't do more than break it
Have a nice Sunday, many greetings from here...

yes bro you better try it. im currently using the old build which is the miui verdor based. the new build comes with oss vendor but i think im not ready to flash it. i having trouble keeping my phone decrypted from oss vendor based roms. so i'll still be using the old build.
After the updates my Poco x3 NFC restarts in stand-by mode or when I'm using whatsapp, suddenly the screen goes to black..and then back to the homescreen... :/
Does anybody tried a custom rom? I would like to give a try.
Hello to everybody,
here 's my newest experience with "Miui-machine"...
I tried the tip from dahrel22 (see 4 posts above) und flashed Ancient OS 5.3 - I did everything according to the description, but in the end I had an encrypted partition on my phone....
Yesterday I had the great idea to cleam my device up und flash it again...
What can i say: it was a horrible trip
Like before I 've done everything as described - but it ends with a lot of issues like "no root" and "no system" directory, unable to mount system partion and so on and so on... This action cost me a lot of annoyance
(I tried this with two custom roms: Ancient OS 5.4 and Evolution X).
I was then able to revive the device using fastboot and the mi flashtool.
The Mi-Flashtool also ended with an error, but the system works - for whatever reason???
So at the moment I'm "driving" this damn Miui again and I'm really pissed off!
Maybe someone from you has a "smooth" idea to solve my problem??
Many greetings and thanks

im feel so sorry when i read your experience. maybe some confusion because 2 builds at the same version have different vendor based. both of them are comes with 5.3 but one comes with miui, one comes with oss. as i say i really have a hard time to keep my phone decrypted on oss when im using orange fox (now im in twrp but still no planning of flashing oss) if you flashed the old build, i mean the miui vendor based build, i think the outcome will be better.
what version of miui are you into right now?
edit: you know i feel bad for you as you need to do this "mi-flashtool" kind of stuff. next time, if you make mistake flashing something, i suggest just to flash miui rom again (miui eu will do) using recovery (i suggest twrp). i did that before many times and it never fails me.
