You need to perform a wipe if you’re migrating from software different than CM12.0!

You can get it on our DOWNLOAD page.

Issues

  • video taken by stock camera app is green, but some apps like Camu taking correct videos without any issues
  • less than 2% of users are reporting issues with mobile data – just add new APN manually with settings proper for your provider and apply it to make 3G working

I’d be glad, if you shared links to our download page, instead of direct links to download.
Also would be great, if you wouldn’t create the mirrors πŸ˜‰

    • Sankar says:

      Just a quick question Hugo — how much have you donated so far to this team?! Hope you realize the value NovaFusion team brings to our devices. Nobody is forcing you to use their ROMs anyway. We are going to have to respectfully ask to you refrain from posting comments in future.

    • Sankar says:

      “Bullshit, your work no is good, desilusion!!!” — bet this is exactly what your boss yelled at you during your appraisal πŸ˜› Well, how much have you donated to NovaFusion anyway?!

      • Mani says:

        Dear Novafusion,

        Please Ignore comments from ungrateful idiots.

        They must be beggars in their life, with a cheap or stolen mobile phone in hand.

        Most of us not only like your work, but also understand that you have a life of your own, and a team to support.

        It is our duty to keep rewarding your hard work.

    • Writer Monkey says:

    • Jaydooo says:

      I think you are forgetting that NovaFusion is a three person team. 2 people handle the development and the other is graphics. If you can’t appreciated the dedication and effort they do to give you Android Lollipop, then you should just leave. Thank you NovaFusion! You’re amazing

    • Franciscone says:

  • dibbie says:

  • Joel says:

    DOES xmodgames for Clash of clans is working on this version? Can someone tell me? thanks πŸ˜‰

    • Vannam Nguyen says:

      No, because CM12 is using ART runtime. Xmodgames needs Dalvik runtime and that doens’t exist on Android Lollipop anymore.

    • Sami286 says:

      It does work forma me!

      • Joel says:

        Really it works for you? you’re not kidding right? Can you use to mod properly? I think ill give it a try too thanks.

      • Vannam Nguyen says:

        2) Xmodgames does not support Bluestacks(or other Android emulators)/ASUS zenfone 5(or other intel-based processors)/ART mode , X86 at the present.We are working on that now.

  • Sector says:

    Maybe you were meaning: “New stable release (20150308) of CM12.0 for S3 Mini is available!” ???

    I’ve got the 20150305 daily and I’m experiencing many troubles with “no service” and “data transmission”. Also tried to use Camu as you said but videos are jerky both in filming and in viewing.

  • neocryptex says:

    Are there any plans of updating the Carbon ROM for S3 mini??

  • Vannam Nguyen says:

    20150305? Isn’t it 20150308? xD

  • Simonmon says:

    Anyone also having Problems Music app.. My one crashes more times in a row bu I can open it but no playing music. Also some installed Apps like Mr Flap and the Minions are not mentioned in app menu…. Anyone there who can help me

    • Simonmon says:

      And why are my comments nof published.?

    • Michael says:

      Yes I have the same problem especially when the phone is connected to the sound system in my car by bluetooth. But I found a solution: Kick the Music App and install another instead. Works fine for me.

  • zemc77 says:

    I just can’t install any of your CM12 releases. They all throw a “status 7” error :c

    • arungunupudi says:

      Just try advanced format on wipe menu of TWRP and delete everything.*
      *Backup you’re internal storage.

  • Any improvement worth? Or some correction of the following errors:
    – Video on Facebook, Twitter, Instagar and Vine does not work.

        I continue with the tests, has improved a lot. I hope to continue! Sorry for my bad ENGLISH

    • ryan says:

      i think the battery saver not showing up until 15% is something to do with cyanogenmod maybe cyanogenmod is testing something

  • Sup

    Sorry , but in incoming call , the sound is low …

    • Frank.Mac.BR says:

      Pra aumentar o volume durante a ligaΓ§Γ£o, aperta vol – daΓ­ depois vai apertando pra aumentar. Funciona comigo

    • ryan says:

      wipe system and install this update

      wiping system will get rid of any bad code left in from older update

  • arungunupudi says:

    Face unlock please….. :'(
    Thanks NF… πŸ˜€

  • any app taking videos besides camu ?

  • Aldy Apriansyah says:

    music player crased after first time reboot

  • Icowin says:

    When release with android 5.1?
    In any case great work Nova!;)

    • ryan says:

      i think there will be a release today or tomorrow

      they have to merge the 5.1 code

      then they have to merge the fixes

      then compile the rom

      then upload to novafusion.pl

      all of this takes a while

  • Emankcin says:

    The clock on top, right corner is gone… xD what should I do? πŸ™

  • Sankar says:

    This release is the best I’ve used in NovaFusion’s Lollipop so far, in terms of performance. Previous releases have been a quite laggy, but I’ve found this one to be surprisingly snappy. The following are some of the minor bugs I encountered —

    1) When I reboot my phone, the clock (right of my status bar) disappears. I then have to toggle my clock display setting (selecting say, Center and then Right), to make it reappear.
    2) In PIN unlock option, the lockscreen doesn’t display what’s typed. Backspace key doesn’t seem to work either. If I type a digit wrongly, there’s no option but to reboot my phone to login successfully. I’m currently using the Pattern unlock to circumvent this issue.
    3) Flashlight is quite laggy; sometimes results in reboots as well.
    4) BLN doesn’t work at all.
    5) Rendering issues with Chrome — while scrolling, the screen gets scrambled.

    Thank you folks! Keep up your great work!

    • navin says:

      Are you facing any call issues like call drop, low call vaolume or anything like that?
      Because I want to move from CM11 to CM12.

      • Sankar says:

        Hi Navin, I wouldn’t say that the basic functionalities (like Phone, Messaging, Clock, etc,) are fully mature, but things are slowly getting there. There have been occasional call drops, random reboots and low call volumes, but it hasn’t really been disruptive in my case. If you are too uptight about these things, you should probably wait another month or so.

    • ryan says:

      chromes rendering issue happened on 4.4.4 AS WELL after android l preview came out

      the rendering issue is a problem with chrome

  • call recording, it is possible?

  • Sector says:

    I confirm the random reboots. Anyone experiencing troubles with “NO SIGNAL” on travelling (changing quite rapidly from a cell to another)? Anyone still esperiencing troubles when the WiFi is unavailable, it switches to 3G data and never goes back to WiFi when it becomes available?

    • Sankar says:

      Hi Sector, I’m facing the “when WiFi is unavailable, it switches to 3G data and never goes back to WiFi when it becomes available” issue. When this happens, I connect to WiFi manually by selecting the “Connect” option in WiFi settings.

    • arungunupudi says:

      Me too Facing the problem of no signal…. πŸ™ :-[

    • ryan says:

      this is a problem with android 5.0.2 which was fixed in android 5.1

      novafusion is already working on android 5.1 for s3 mini right now so that we can get the best experience

  • Shifahsf says:

    Please Fix Call Drop Issue …
    All Others works perfect.
    Great battery Life too
    Please Fix it on next release

  • Niko Robeto says:

    Stock Music App force close, please fix this
    thanks

  • Sector says:

    “NO SIGNAL” comes with EXTREME BATTERY DRAIN until you shutdown and restart your S3 Mini.

  • muellie says:

    changelog for release 08.03

  • Sector says:

    Just a summary of all encountered bugs so far (sorted by severity):

    – “NO SERVICE” in mobile network causing (1) elevate battery drain & (2) the need to reboot the device.
    – Call dropping just after answering a call.
    – Videos not working with on-built camera app and Google Camera. Using Camu the videos are jerky.
    – Wi-Fi with “!” signal: when the Internet is unavailable by Wi-Fi, the phone correctly switches to 3G/Mobile Data, but when the Internet by Wi-Fi becomes available it can’t switch back to Wi-Fi causing a manual action to reconnect the Wi-Fi network.
    – PIN Lock (1) doesn’t display when typed & (2) backspace doesn’t work: in case of error, you need to reboot the device and retype the PIN again.
    – Power saving mode crashes the Google Now window.
    – Music app crashes.
    – The flashlight (1) lags & (2) sometimes reboots the device.

    @Novafusion: hope this helps with future developments!

  • Levi says:

    Uh where can i get GAPPS for this ROM?

  • Aemus says:

    Hi, I’m experiencing this same problem from several relases.
    The temporal solution I got is to delete the data of the media provider and reboot the phone. That worked for me, but sometimes the error of the Music app cames and I have to do the same another time.

    I hope that help you.

  • amb67 says:

    Best release yet, keep up the good work team.

    No issues so far, been using it as a daily for 24 hours now…. battery life is good, call volumes fine, torch works well but has a small lag on and off…..

    I’m a happy chappy

  • Sergio R.M. says:

    Excellent work Nova Team

    These are my problems coupled with the already known:

    — WiFi disconnects randomly and causes the modem reboots losing the signal entirely. Don’t reconnect until the disabling the WiFi .
    — Random reboots.
    — VPN not working
    — The player works fine but the volume low.

    Regards… πŸ™‚

    ** Sorry for my bad English

  • Sandy says:

    I’d just like to say a big thank you to the team, your work is GREATLY appreciated!
    The video recording bug (which I don’t use anyways) aside, this is already a perfect rom. Everything works like a charm. Shame on Samsung for their lame excuse that S3 mini can’t handle anything beyond JB 4.1.2.
    My phone is working better now than it ever has, the Lollipop experience is silky smooth.
    Thank you!!!

  • Viviana Di Pierro says:

    Hi, i’ve an issue to transfer my app data from internal storage to sd card, it says me “insufficient storage space”. What should i do?

    P.s. Sorry for the insistence, but don’t understand why I can’t publish the comment.

      I got another problem. When I try to install apks from internal storage or sd card, it gives me the following error: “App not installed”.

  • Michael says:

    Maybe no bug, so that just a question:
    Is it normal that the homescreen turns off while I’m using another App?
    After closing the used app it takes sometimes about 10 second to rebuild up the homescreen until I can use the phone again normally.

    Maybe something wrong in my settings??

    • arungunupudi says:

      Mee too facing that issue..
      I’m currently using ‘Z Launcher beta’ it is taking some time for rebuilding… πŸ™
