Less bugs and more user friendly ROM this is the best ROM
And UPDATES EVERYDAY MACLAW ROCKS
Is there a way to get the track info over Bluetooth? I haven’t been able to do it in past releases.
Great work, BUT:
WHY do you put in “Issues: none” in every release, even though there are some issues you MUST be aware of (for example automatic brightness), and soon after the comments fill with all kinds of issues.
Hey champ, don’t you know that the phone you bought does not have ambient light sensor? Auto brightness DOES NOT WORK, enven in the stock ROM. It’s a hardware issue, not a problm with this ROM.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i8190_galaxy_s_iii_mini-5033.php
The brightness sensor is there, but it is covered with plastic, so Galaxy S3 (not mini) would have a distinct advantage.
I use Lux Auto Brightness, front camera, and Tasker to detect proximity sensor open and display On – and trigger Lux AB auto-setting. So anytime flip cover is re-opened or the display is turned on, the camera takes a picture and sets brightness according to it.
You can’t use automatic brightnes on S3 mini, is an hardware limitation.
how many times does he has to say that OUR DEVICE HAS NO LIGHT SENSOR?!
Wow… seems like you really do not know nothing about your device… do some research before posting hardware-related ‘issues’
Yeah, you have reason…
Lol…tuoppimas eres un ignorante
I think tuoppimas was just trying to encourage Maclaw (who is doing awesome work w/ the S3 mini btw) to log the known bugs or developments that are still in progress. He just picked a bad example because the S3 mini does ‘not’ have a light sensor – which is something I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t keep an eye on the release comments.
Keep up the good work Maclaw! Everybody knows the S3 mini has the potential of being the best bang-for-your-buck 007 gadget.for the price of $239 on Amazon. I think it’s the ‘Civic’ of phones.
I currently use SlimRom, and appreciate Maclaw’s offerings that the stock doesn’t offer:
* Android v 4.3/4.4
* Intact, unhacked kernel
* Brighter display
* Better GPS/wifi/bt/3g/hspa+
* More responsive UI devoid of TouchWiz
* More responsive dialpad
It’s hard to say if there are ‘issues’, but I would definitely create a category for ‘intended improvements’ (wifi direct, battery life, speaker volume issue, etc.). The possible downside is that I’m sure Maclaw doesn’t want to discourage daily testing and feedback to improve the ROM.
If the hardware for it does not exist, why leave in the software button, which is buggy, and not list it as a bug?
This is what I cannot understand, why with every release it has to be stated that there are no issues, even though the team is aware of some existing issues. This way of handling issues is not modern.
But anyways, I appreciate the great work the Maclaw team is doing.
ohh Dear Lord..
Automatic Brightness is not an issue…
Why you can’t simple understand and accept this
We don’t have such a sensor. I can only be done with analyzing raw data from camera and that is causing battery drain.
he just copies the original cyanogenmod changelog, the only thing he does is bring cyanogenmod to unsopported devices. thats it, he doesnt fix anything. All your issues must be reported to cyanogenmod team
Wait, I am new to this so, forgive me…
Are you saying that the Cyanogenmod wasn’t made to use with the S3 Mini then it was just modded in order to run on this phone? Which phone was it originally designed for then?
cyanogenmod is not compatible with S3 mini, google cyanogenmod and you will get the original page. What maclaw does is to modify it so it can be run in S3 mini, Ace, Gio, etc. Google the homepage and look for devices, you will see which are supported
It is modded for every phone, Cyanogenmod is an AOSP-modified rom with own interface
Dude, if automatic brightness isn’t on the features list, then the lack of it isn’t an issue.
another stupid guy, s3 mini doesn’t have brightness sensor, we can’t have automatic brightness lel genius
Once again it seems as if people feel the need to repeat what was stated in the first reply.
…Just because someone was unaware of a light sensor in their device doesn’t mean that they are completely stupid and require over 10 comments stating the same thing in a multitude of rude ways.
I was quite puzzled about that too (the issue statement, not the automatic brightness!), when I started to use MacLaws CM on my device. It took a little time for me to realize, that “issues: none” is some kind of a running joke. MacLaw seems to have a strange sense of humor, but he does great work!

Hello. I have problem : 3 sd cards in file browser (Total Commander). First is internal storage, second is external sd (media_rw, not working) and third external sd (storage/sdcard1, working). How do delete media_rw card ? Screenshot. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsmk7pl9d2b383u/Screenshot_2014-02-06-17-35-36.png
Sorry for my bad english
i have the same problem, they are just links to the same folder but apps dont work like that, they just seem not to recognize the folders
Cannot confirm this. I only have 2 sd cards in settings / storage menu, ES File Exporer and the stock file manager. Maybe it’s a Total Commander issue?
Is it stable enough like the stock rom for daily use ?
this rom is stable for a long time… there are only a minor bugs
Is this release ready for daily use or do you think i have to wait a while before switching from 10.2 to 11?
I already switched a month ago, it is okay [marked as stable]. However I recommend a full system wipe and Gapps mini.
Wait
Agree with statement however example was wrong. Issues are there and are known.
– Low incoming calls volume,
– clock freezing,
– some sensors dont work (i.e temp show -106695718.8 C)
– strage sounds with some apps ( GVphone, twiter etc. )
– BLN does not work
– unable to switch on when phone is cahrging offline.
– wifi direct
Thanks Maclaw and his team for his work, but closing eyes does not mean issues dont exist. He should list them so other people know if is worth for them to use or not working functionality is critical for them.
!!!!!! Hey Maclawand team be proud of your work !!!!!
We are all happy you do it and no shame something still does not work.
BLN Works for me. With all releases since december. No issues
yes please fix thats bug +9999999999
Please add recording function calls
many devices already works call recording, as sansung galaxy Galaxy S3 and S4
see there is a possibility these models:
Galaxy S4 (GT-i9500)
2 Galaxy Note (N7100)
Galaxy S3 (I9300)
Galaxy S2 (I9100)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706310
or
http://repo.xposed.info/module/uk.co.villainrom.pulser.enablecallrecording
I would love you to apply this function
720p and 1080p videos are not playing. The video player gets crashed everytime
Phone doesent charges ;(( please fix it
@marcus: u should tell this to cyanogenmod, they should know how to add this. but your links refer to instructions for stock roms.
one question to the new build: the clock still is freezing or working well?
Its not like we can tell cyanogenmod to fix these issues for the s3 mini so which device is this rom originally from. I assume its the S3 but confirmation would be nice.
Hi, great job but, unfortunately, the clock still freezes:(
Can you do something about it?
Cheers

Have you tried a clean install? I haven’t seen clock freezes for weeks on my device!
I know I’m spamming but WE NEED WIFI-DIRECT!!!
In the mean time, use superbeam, it can create a hotspot and send over wifi
Nice job improving it each day, but i have a question: is it stable enough for daily excessive use ?
Hi Please could you resolve the speaker volume asap.Also from the last build the battery drain is more.
I Concur with both of these issues. STILL.. good work

In this version there are still problems with the clock?
Even stops in the middle of the night?
This has made me miss the alarm several times, but I have faith that you correct it soon, I will not go back to the stock ROM
Can someone tell me on how to enable the ‘OK Google’ command? Does it is supported in this ROM?
i wanna know that too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611777. This DOES work, I know this because I hotword detection working.
*I have hotword detection working
I also can’t get this to work (as of 020514 release).
Also battery lasts about half as long as on stock rom… not sure why.
Well. Let’s say things as they should be said ( excuse my english).
You all bought a device from Samsung, a BIG company which earn LOTS of money and that does not support your device any more. THEY should make an official kitkat ROM for S3 mini, a device that’s not old. But they don’t.
So we have people like MacLaw that with their effort mainteing our devices up to date, with no profit.
Samsung have hundreds of programmers, testers, etc, and make updates slowly. Months between one and another. You don’t have only to test de ROM. You have to test with hundreds of apps. No device is equal to another. For example, many people here complains about the clock in alarm. I have never had such issue.
This is a beta product. Stable enough to be used for everyday ( for me it is.). Yes. I have some problems. Someimes internet drops without notice. But I know that in the next nightly it could be solved.
So be patient. Explain your bugs. Don’t for new things. Go to CM for that.
Thanks McLaw. I’m a programmer and apreciate your altruist work.
can someone tell me what is the diffrence between the google apps full package and google apps mini ?
The clock still is freezing.
It is very important to solve this. Twice I was late for work for this.

Remove/stop cLock completely and install Chronus (same develper, better app), clock freezing is gone ;>
Thanks for your help. Not the widget which freezes. It is the system clock. On the top bar.
Why everyone still have this bug on their S3 Mini ? I never get this on my phone since the first install until the latest update
why when i plugin my phone in pc via usb, the pc doesn’t detect it?
doesn’t mount the storage
Do you have enabled usb debugging? If yes, your pc won’t recognize your device as expected.
Which os is running on your pc?
Yes, debugging is enabled. I use Debian, But Windows doesn t recognize too
My phone keeps reboot automatically, this is completely unacceptable !
plz fix it as soon as possible !
Wipe dalwik and /or reinstall gapps
Yesterday release gave me 2 reboots, also network data is gone, checked the APN twice, manually rebooted, airplane mode and nothing yet. Hope to get it back with today’s release.
Cheers and great work

Where can i find the cm sources changelog?
Bluetooth does not work.
mine is perfect
Clock freezing bug is not a minor issue…
Maclaw, please work with the MIUI ROM, it’s awesome!
Dear Mc Law team, I noticed that if the device is turned off and charging a nice panda face is shown but the battery do not charge 100%…. I tried for all a nite long.
I can carge 100% only if device is turned on
Is it normal? Do I make something worng?
fix problem with store play whenever q update becomes unusable email account asking and giving error when syncing, someone else you last?
what the hell are you talkin’ about man?
Sound bugs are back. While I’m using twitter, noisy sounds coming from my speaker. In previous update I didn’t have that problem. And also I don’t have clock freezing bug like all people said.. Please correct the bugs that I mention. Thanks for developing this great ROM, MaclawStudio !
– Solid Explorer bug with extsd
– clock freezing
