i dont think so
ok but i’m first comment hhhh
haha ok
i agree with that
work OTG?
you guys are awesome
Thank you for the hard work..
Please fix the 3g internet problem..!!
try downgrade to kitkat and install lolipop again
I moved from cm11 to cm12.. didn’t work!
Thanks for fixing call Drop issue
Let me check !
can’t download Gapps from xda
anyone knows why? :c
Link from me: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pxen665u641xfyt/AADkVIR1OW0_Jss76ccJOSQ7a?dl=0
Enjoy =)
thanks dude! 8)
the uploader from xda closed all of his download files. ALL OF THE GAPPS PACKAGES… such an idiot ¬¬
nice to nkw there is good people who shared their own old packages 😉
tks!!!!!
Great work !
Here are my bugs
– Some bad French Layouts (I can help if you need… several times I proposed it, and I am disappointed because I’m not conctacted to help)
– Bad French translation due to CM12
– BLN Control doesn’t work
– Flashlight Long on-time.
– Bug with Flashlight icon. It desappears when toggle…
– No EAP-SIM
– Old Android release (5.0.2). Now current release is Android 5.1…
– Calculator keys are not sensitive
stop copying and paste the same comment in every release! bugs will be fixed soon, Nova team has already seen your comment!
No… don’t stop. It helps me deciding whether to upgrade to CM12 or stay on CM11.
I’m still on CM11 due to some bugs on CM12, and because CM11 is really stable now.
Install it. cm 12 works almost good at me 😉
There is no website to report bugs. Then, I report bugs on this blog. It allows to the team and to other users to be aware of the bugs.
Ty, I think it’s useful. Well, I’ll upgrade to 5 first when there’s a Carbon version of Android L, but as it got the same base code as CM it will have the same bugs of course.
also, android 5.1 will be released when cyanogenmod 12.1 is ready, here we have cyanogenmod 12.
You’re so boring on every release, everybody knows already about your French layouts and nobody wants your help. If you don’t like this ROM go to CM11 and STFU! Select English and STFU. Copy/Paste this into your brain.
they said they are already working on cm12.1 on the xda page
install xposed
reboot
install gravitybox
reboot
go into gravitybox
go into statusbar tweaks > quicksettings management > stausbar quicksettings tiles
untick torch(stock)
scroll down
tick torch(gravitybox)
fixed flashlight disappearing for me
– Picture is frozen during offline charge
– Livedisplay doesn’t work
To Nova Team: could you update the link to dowload GAPPS, please ?
It is broken…
Here the GAPPS Link FROM ME: ( need 45min.)
Gotta check it later on my S3 mini 😀 thanks a lot novafusion for bring CM12 to us
video taken by stock camera app is green, but some apps like Camu taking correct videos without any issues
use videocam illusion for videos
change resolution settings down a bit
and you now have lag free videos with working display
Apps to SD Card feture is not working,Anyone??
for me too
me
offline charcing doesnt work 🙁
if you want to turn phone on without taking out battery
when loading symbol shows(offline charging)
take charger out
hold power button until vibrate then let go
hold power button
there you go you can now get out of offline charging without taking battery out
What ‘s about battery? is it better?
Is camera in snapchat working well?
Yes, apart from video is green 🙂
offline charge does not work… neither online
online charging – phone charges when it is on
offline charging – phone displays loading symbol when phone is off and charging
so your phone won’t charge when it is on?
and for offline charging if it shows loading symbol
if you want to turn phone on without taking out battery
when loading symbol shows(offline charging)
take charger out
hold power button until vibrate then let go
hold power button
there you go you can now get out of offline charging without taking battery out
hi there,
Is that possible to move apps to SDCard? I receive all time the message saying there is no enough space even after formating SD card.
Is this a known issue or is something happening only on my device?
Does anyone has any directions to me? Thanks in advance
I have this Prolem, too
me too
Is it when flashing GApps or other stuff directly after flashing the ROM?
That is when my phone complains about space.
If I flash the ROM first, then boot the phone. After it’s done loading the first boot, I power it down again, and after that, I have no problems with space errors in TWRP.
Hello, serves for model I8190N?
Yep, I have it too.
I use the standard version on my I8190N model. But NFC in battery wont work, thats it.
Yes it works witl i8190N.
The only thing that is missing is NFC but this is because of Samsung policy.
Offline charging failure.
if you want to turn phone on without taking out battery

Tried it, and no issue seems to be found.
But what’s bugging me is that it’s very slow on my S3 mini. I only installed minimal GAPPS, no other apps. Do you guys also experience the same thing?
Sorry, my bad. The slow one is release 20150321. This 20150325 release actually run quite smooth on my S3 mini.
But apparently when I open app like Chrome, it takes around 2 – 3 seconds until the app loaded. I suppose this is due to limited CPU power in this smartphone. Do you guys have the same experience?
i have that problem
Am i the only one having problems with audio recorder? I can’t use both the stock and the Whatsapp recorder. Does anybody know what to do?
Disable OK Google Everywhere
Turn off OK Google Everywhere.
If most of comments involve green video and where to get gapps, it sounds like this build is headed in a solid direction. 🙂
* The flashlight long on-time seems like a CM issue I remember from CM11. This is trivial.
a good video camera app is videocam illusion on play store
works perfectly with sound and video
just change some resolution settings and you have no lag videos
Trebuchet crashes so I returned to previous stable release (21.03.2015.)
Hi,
i have some very bad problems.
I got every 5 seconds the notofication “Youtube stopps” “google Stopps” and so on.
I’m not able to use my phone 🙁 please fix it
The F2FS filesystem format changes during installation to ext4, there is no way to stay in F2FS
Thanks a lot and Where Can We Download GAPPS? Xda Threat is Closed.
Wife’s phone is a i8190L, besides the online/offline charging issue, I noticed:
– video playback only shows a black screen (audio is fine)
– auto brightness is not available (as far as I know it is supported in the stock rom)
– quite slow performance (not sure if f2fs would make any difference), specially when more than one app (like FB, Whatsapp and Chrome at the same time are opened)
– screen errors (ramdom lines and pixels when using chrome – tearing?)
– camera is too basic (few options and video still doesn’t work)
Additional info:
– My wife is getting mad <— the worst thing! xD
– I'm not criticizing, just describing my experience
Why do you do this to your wife?
Do you want a mad wife? 🙂
wipe phone then install this release it will fix any bad conflicts in the code
if you still get performance problems and pixel problems then
go into settings
go into about phone
scroll down and keep tapping on build number until it says you are a developer
go back to settings page
go into performance
i#go into processor and change maximum cpu frequency to 1000 Mhz and change cpu governor to interactive then click set on boot
go back
go to i/o scheduler and change to cfq or noop and tap set on boot
try installing chrome beta
no pixel problem on my s3 mini
she’s always mad!
Auto brightness is generally not possible on 8190!
It got no brightness sensor at all.
Yup.
i wanna try a new kernel. suggestions?
the same here
Try the f_kernel in xda. There are two different variasions for kitkat and lollipop. There are 12 cpu speeds. You may active it with setcpu app (this kernel does not support f2fs) i use it and wonderful for me bro
gonna check it out. thanks man
U r wellcome
Installed this morning!
I hereby confirm that the only way to get the device correctly functioning is a clean install, in other words:
– backup all things using Super Backup SMS & Contacts to SD Card;
– restart the device in Recovery Mode;
– wipe system, data, cache & dalvik cache;
– turn data & cache partitions to F2FS;
– install the new version of the CM12 ROM from SD Card;
– install the GApps from SD Card;
– wipe cache & dalvik cache;
– Reboot with new OS;
– restore Super Backup backups from SD Card;
– install the other apps and configure them.
I tried both install through TWRP and Odin without wiping the system partition, but every time I get many problems with notifies not showing up and app mobile data communication.
The only way to be pretty sure of the correct install of the ROM is the above mentioned one.
So far:
NOY (Not Observed Yet), NTY (Not Tried Yet), SIP (Still in Place), STHBS (Seems to have been solved)
– “No Service” on mobile network with high battery drain -> NOY
– Call dropping when answering a call -> NOY
– Offline charging not working and freezing the device -> NTY
– Random reboots of the device -> NOY
– Videos not working with stock camera app (and Google Camera) -> SIP
– Videos quite jerky with Camu -> SIP
– The Wi-Fi connection automatic disable when Internet is unavailable doesn’t reactivate when Internet becomes available, it stays with the “!” signal and the data connection remains on the mobile data. You need to reactivate the Wi-Fi connection manually. -> NOY
– Contacts sorting/format into the call registry -> STHBS
– Chrome rendering errors -> NTY
– SIM unlock window quite slow in showing up after boot -> SIP
Thank you NOVA!
how was the offline charge? Did you test it?
if you want to turn phone on without taking out battery
when loading symbol shows(offline charging)
take charger out
hold power button until vibrate then let go
hold power button
there you go you can now get out of offline charging without taking battery out
How is your battery life? I just updated my phone with your steps and I think I have 1 GHz bug, I turned WiFi off when updating and problem is still present. Anyone knows what to do? Thank you.
The phone only shows a circle but the phone charges 😉

internet disconnection issues is a problem with android 5.0.2 not a problem with cm12 or nova
don’t use camu
install videocam illusion from google play and lower resolution settings – lag free videos and working audio and video
try installing chrome beta
my friend has internet connection problems on his nexus 4 and new nexus 6
i use videocam illusion with 720 x 480 resolution and videos record perfectly
i use chrome beta and i don’t have any pixel problems like before
the problems with the pixels was chrome not nova or cm12
USB OTG support
It works with i8200? Please
I can not move apps to SD card, can anyone?
Whatsapp calls not working the cash call
With the version from 20150325 and before i had “random” reboots when the battery was full and the charger or computer pluged in.
Did someone else observe this too?
(After the reboot the the offline charging bug shows)
Anyway to help with some logs,…?
Anyone a idea?
Battery i did buy befor 1 month and its new produced at 2014.06.23
hey you rom Lollipop 5.0.2 (CyanogenMod 12.0) 20150325 stable don´t is stable have any problem y fail in anything
plz i can’t move apps to sdcard1 can you help me?
maybe i found a bug?
when i call via whatsapp i can’t listen caller only if i activate speaker. anyone have this bug with this release or not?
I also noticed this problem, but I believe it is problem whatsapp app, for me does not always occur this problem. Got this version of the app directly from whatsapp site, ie it is a version that has not yet been to google store …. I believe it is not a stable version yet. I have friends who Rom with stock that are with this problem.
That is happening to me as well, but not only that but i can’t record an audio on either Whatsapp or the system recorder, i look it up all over the internet but couldn’t find an answer. Can you record audios?
Yes, I can record audio on whatsapp and system recorder.
Whatsapp Version: 2.12.14
Reinstall your Rom:
1 – In the “Advanced Wipe” Do “Dalvick cache” and “Cache”
2 – Re-install the Rom
3 – Make Wipe “Dalvick cache” and “Cache”
Gonna try that. Thanks!
hey bruh, can you give me a call to activate the whatsapp calls? haha
Send me an email: [email protected]
Whatsapp Call activation works only with version 2.12.5 (Play Store), I think…
To date this version is working links:
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk
2:12:14
Note: You need to receive two calls to activate.
Didn’t work ): it’s something with the gapps, it was working before i installed.
Okay. I’m about to send u an e-mail. Thank you man!!
This comment was also posted in the previous release… my mistake… It is for this one (20150325)
Not sure if this can be considered a workaround for the offline charge but I “discovered” a weird thing while playing with my wife’s i8190L.
– Power off the phone
– Plug the charger (it is expected to see the loading star)
– Attempt to start in recovery (power + volume up + menu)
The phone attempted to start recovery but for some reason while plugged it never did. However, while waiting for the recovery menu, I was able to see the white battery charging and then the screen turned into black. I released the buttons at that time and then just clicking the power button (short press) the screen showed the battery charging. The charging process appears to be longer than usual but at least it seems to be working.
Besides it reaches 100% while charging, once I restarted the phone it always shows 95~98%.
I tried the above at least 3 times to confirm if this workaround works… It worked for me… I hope it works for you.
DO NOT restart the phone while plugged. In my case the battery showed a weird value.
Your phone uses that 5% battery when it’s booting the system, preparing for using etc. It’s not a bug. You can reboot your phone without connecting it to the charger. You should notice a minor change on the battery’s status.
I just tried on my i8190 but nothing happens, always the white frozen star and nothing else…
1. when phone is off insert power cable until loading symbol shows up
2. when it shows up hold power button until screen goes black and let go instantly as you do not want to trigger it to turn back on
3.wait five seconds
4.hold volume up – home – then power and hold until you hear 2 vibrates
5.let go
i will make a video tommorow on how to do this
Fix the green video bug please, you should make it a priority it has been there like forever!!
Is this rom rooted?
CM12 20150325
Facebook works
Instagram works
Videos not working
Netflix not working.
No random reboots
Great Work.

touch screen stopped responding after i terminated a call (GT-I8190)
I’m having some issues:
– Sometimes my phone randomly reboot (example at 70%) and turn on with 10-3% of battery. It says “system has stopped”. If I turn off my phone for 10-20 minutes or more the battery gets the normal % but sometimes keeps rebooting again or not lol. My battery is now swollen but I was thinking to change it to see if makes difference.
– Can you bring back the light buttons when a notification arrives?
– (Facebook) Messenger app don’t work. When I try to open, its only a white screen until I get tired and close the app lol.
Thanks for your work ♥
Same problem but the system didn’t crash or reboot.
After I rebooted my s3 mini manually, the battery was almost empty, before it has about 30 %.
I think, this app fixed my problem: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
Did you wipe cache and dalvik? On my device both messenger and FB are working fine.
Yes I always do. But I already fixed that problem haha I installed and uninstalled the app until it works lol
Good for you ☺
the battery being swollen is the problem
i had the same on my s3 mini nearly a year ago now caused random reboots and mine was not modded or rooted in any way
i experienced the same “reboot-magic” some time ago…
although you said that your battery isn’t swollen i’d guess it nevertheless is broken –
its cells may be destroyed and the battery needs to “calm down” after use
just try another battery (from a friend or so) and observe whether the reboots appear again or not
the files such as photos and musics in my sd card getting has a copy, its back to normal when i do factory reset but in about 5 days its hapenned again. nova please give me solutions 🙂
sorry for my bad english
Random reboots (e.g. from %70 to %5 drain) are because of dead battery. I had experienced that too. After I changed battery with brand new one, I have never experienced it.
What about FM Radio? Am I missing something?
After two days of uptime:

Hello guys! First of all, thank you for a new wonderful release. My phone is working fine, but in this release i experienced some bugs, as i wrote down further.
“– Can you bring back the light buttons when a notification arrives?”
I second that.
Here we go, only listing errors that are bothering me:

– Call dropping when answering a call -> NOY (i experienced the problem on the release before this, though).
– Offline charging not working and freezing the device -> SIP
– Flashlight Long on-time -> SIP.
That’s it. Keep up the good work!

Hi there. First oft all,.many thanks Nova.
Its first time i have installed cm.
It was making me crazy.
Have tried serval to get running gapps.
At End a tiny gapps work fine for me.
I have installed few things manually by play store.
Runns much better than the original one.
The only Problem i found its major is wifi connection lost.
A system restart only helps.
Would be very pleased if this is fixed.
I couldnt test call in the n8.
Will See.
Cheers
Does anyone else have a problem with the volume sliders not sliding, but still reducing the volume?
Mobile Getting heat and hanging after intsalling this Release .
