If you want to say thanks by donating us using PayPal, feel free 😉
Do full backup before installation and wipe data/cache (factory reset) after installation if you don’t updating from older CM12.0 release.
You need to perform a wipe if you’re migrating from software different than CM12.0!
You can get it on our DOWNLOAD page.

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 😉
Thanks.

Any bugs/errors?
Thanks Nova , installing success
thanks for the effort , the espectactiva and great for each updating
thanks NOVA !
Thanks nova, I’m going to test this right now!
Plz this release have moving apps to sdcard or not? 4go not enough for RAM ans apps.
Thanks NovaFusion, but I’m still waiting when issues such as camera and 3G will corrected 🙂 Happy Easter 🙂
Thank you. My Bugs are:
– Flicker bug
– Video Record not work.
– Low Performance
– Flashlight high on time.
– No FM Radio Support.
flicker here too
what you mean when you say low performance?is it laggy?and hows the battery?
Can’t make it boot.
Flashed from recovery after wiping and formatting everything.
Flashed the rom, and then gapps pico.
It optimizes apps, then it stays on the starting apps screen for ever.
Reverted back to previous version.
Please help SuperSU to permit placing the root
When will include FM radio?
You can use Spirit Fm, it can dowload to Aptoide.
Never because CyanogenMod doesn’t support radio (there are many other alternatives to radio like Spotify, Deezer or TuneIN (Radio over Internet)
try spiritFM

Hello all, I’m stuck… (well what’s new… :]) -having flashed and rooted my i8910 I have tried to install latest Rom (CG_12.1). Got it all; ROM, gapps, TWRP (2.8.0.0. -newer releases just wont accept. Says all’s well but when reboot into recovery same build No. remains -2.8.0.0.). OK… When I boot to TWRP anyway, and choose to wipe ALL partitions to f2fs (/system, /Data & /cache) all’s fine again, until i actually initiate flashing with latest ROM (Lolipop 5.1.1.). Then i get;
detected ext2 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 and just after; detected ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p22.
I conclude that the partition /system gets reformatted back to ext4… -Why? Is there a solution? If so please help, since my Mini drags worse than a snail and it lifts my nerves unnecessary… 🙂
Thanx in advance and all the best!
P.S.
If there is already description to my question please direct me there. THX! 😀
Everything is flickering.
Thanks Nova , installing success
bug play store

Google Play Service Brocken!
I work maybe it’s a problem of gapps
Test 20150222, here is the link:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59687620&postcount=1 sure work gapps from TKruzze which maclaw always used, final post from TKruzze. Download 5.1 sure work! Do full wipe.
I also had to install the newest gapps package after upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1.
That should be noted in the download description i think
Really nice work.
I have some rib when scrolling (horizontically and vertically). No problem with playstore.
http://highonandroid.com/download-android-5-1-lollipop-gapps/
Here’s the link where i got the GAPPS.

Bugs
– flicker
– offline charging
factory reset did not work very well for me
VPN has fixed ?

I no longer have phone and messages, has someone the same problem ? And something to fix it ?
bad graphics when swipe
thank you nova it’s nice update with more fixed, but i test to go into google play but it give me error msg
is fix drop call and whatsapp ? thanks !! great job
Great job and always good to highlight the commitment and effort- this crowd .
– Some applications forthe working.
– Call Application and slow and stable most of the time .
– I still can not move applications to the SD card .
– Most annoying problems appear on screen transitions and rolls applications texts web pages . Apparently not the timing, as in games of PCs when the v- synic this off.

I have just installed via ODIN and can only see the notification area.. phone is useless.. no application, no wallpaper, nothing.. only the notification area… did I missed something?
Install using TWRP, wipe data, cache and dalvik, install rom and then install Gapps without reboot, it should work fine.
If it dont work, try to reinstall TWRP with ODIN.
you have to do complete wipe and then install the cm..
Thank you guys, it works
Does it work vpn ?
nope
In my incoming calls fail 10x!
same….
bugs in the scrolls?
– A lot of applications falls (system applications, Google Play, SMS, contacts and…..).
– Flicker bug.
– Bug graphics (choppy transition between items).
– Video Record not work (green noise).
– FM Radio is not supported.

Maybe you need perform an advanced wipe.
Great ROM! Quick as a cat, nice as a swiss.

I found this bug when try to import contacts from SIM, you can see mi screenshot http://i.imgur.com/fP3tJDD.png
After that, my phone crashes twice. If not try to import contacts, works well.
Same thing with phone application.
I can see some “waves” when I scroll in any app, or something…
I have the same problem with the wave display when scrolling (for example, the menu – settings or web browser) ..:-(
Unfortunately, it does so in all applications ..
Checked on upgrading from previous versions of CM12 and after installing a new clean version CM12.1
same problem here me too i have this bug with simcard
yes me too i have this bug when i try it
Inconsistentency in the screens during scrolling everywhere
Message has stop….. Thank Nova
After a day of using this ROM:
– Navigation and opening app significantly smoother than previous release 20150331. But I see there’s some kind of artifact on animation.
– Camera working normally, pic taken not green.
– Mobile data is working fine. No manual configuration needed.
Until today, I experienced incoming call being dropped, and sometimes error messages shows saying Dialer stopped responding.
Looks fine for me. Still the bug of power off charging (phone is powering on). Installed on 201504003 without Wipe. All settings remained. WiFi works better. error messages: play store service stopped, norton security stopped. play store doesn’t work. Maybe need installing GApp again? That’s all for now.
dialer doesnt work. couldnt call or receive call!!!
Great work !
As requested in the topic, here are my bugs
– Bad French translation due to CM12.1
– BLN Control doesn’t work, due to Novavusion kernel, apparently
– Flashlight Long on-time.
– Bug with Flashlight icon. Sometimes it desappears when toggle…
– No EAP-SIM
– Calculator doesn’t work very well
– slower than previous releases
– Wave display when scrolling
To Nova Team: could you update the link to dowload GAPPS, please ?
It is broken…
– Wave display when scrolling
This one is the worst bug ever.
This should be the first fix for the next update.
When will Dual Booting be finished?
Thank you NF!!!
I have the following bugs:
– Stock camera doesn’t work at all (I haven’t tested 3rd party cameras yet)
– Snapchat is crashing (Probably because of camera)
– 9gag is crashing
– The screen is a bit glitchy (It gets glitchy when I play Flappy Bird :D)
com.android.phone stop working. gsm cannot active.
how to fix
i can not unlock my simcard
Cyanogenmod doesn’t support sim lock. Unlock it on another phone and then use it on your SGSIII Mini. Greetings!
Thanks. My Wi-Fi is not working and the phone is out of service.
list of bugs:
– google play
– call drop (still not fixed)
No more bugs yet.
About google play – you have to update it to proper version.
04.04.2015 very laggy
Thanks for CM 12.1!
The SMS application crashes.
Hey 🙂 Used CM11 and wanted to try this out… My phone aborts the installation in Recovery mode
Warning: detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcbl0p22
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcbl0p22
ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost+found to u:object_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /external_sd/cm12.1_golden.nova.20150404.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
jjust in case , try to format the file system of your phone to ext4 , maybe you are using f2fs and is not fully supported on cm12, happend to me once
Thanks 🙂 I was able to install it now, just installed an up-to-date TWRP recovery, had some old CWM installed….But something must have gone wrong with it…. Now the Samsung logo on startup is distorted, can’t even read it or anything, just looks like a multi-colored landscape screen or something like that. :/ The screen after that looks fine, boots as it should and no other screen problems, but this bugs me…
There is original bootlogo on download page, I had the same once ^^
Just download and flash original bootlogo from download section inmaclaw.pl
When will support of I8200 s3 mini come out?
Never because these S3 mini *NEO* hasn’t a Sony Ericsson Novathor-processor
Acabo de instalar la version 20150404 asi que pronto comentare mi experiencia. Use durante cerca de un mes OmniROM 5.1 y la verdad me gusto pero volvi. Me gustaria que puedan implementar AMBIENT DISPLAY.
tienes algun bug con scrolls en pantalla y apps? o soy solo yo?
Tambien tengo el bug que comentas. Es el primer relase asi que creo que habra de tener paciencia.
Must I install Gapps 5.1 for install this cm12.1?
I did and it works for me.
hello..
the msg cann’t send with messeger aplication, but when i try to use hangouts its work.
why i cann’t use messenger aplication as default msg ?
Unfortunately, this release is unusable…
1. No signal
2. A LOT messages about crashed apps
But thank you for your work!
Install the newest Google Apps Package. That will stopp the crashing.
The signal was also gone on my handy in the beginning. It came back after a while
Maybe you want to try blackmart market app instead of google play. All the expensive apps are free in blackmart. And it works with all android releases. Just try. You can find it easily
Hi all, sorry this may sound like a really stupid question but it states on this page to wipe data/cache “after” installation if updating from older release. Surely this should be done prior to installing right, with tne order being backup, wipe data/cache, install 12.1 and Gapps? Sorry, just a minor detail but just want to check…
Thanks a lot Nova for ur hardwork but my screen is kinda waving. Is it just my phone or does anybody else also have this problem.
Will be looking forward for the fix of 3g.Keep up the good work
hi, thanks… Great job . I found two bugs:
* can’t move apps to sd card
* can’t save photos from camera in sd card
12.1 2015.04.04 for S3 mini works better than the most recent 5.0 releases.
I installed it together with the PA Gaaps 5.1 micro package.
After 24h of testing stability and battery are both as expected.
Thanks a lot! Keep up the excellent work.
I just installed the version 20150404 so soon tell you my experience. Use for about a month OmniROM 5.1 and I really like but turned. I would like to be implemented AMBIENT DISPLAY.
Issues observed with this release (in order of importance):
– no mobile data:
• default APNs don’t work
• “reset to standard” menu entry deletes all default APNs
• “new APN” menu entry doesn’t do anything
[using Germay/O2/”netzclub” network/sim card]
– scrolling issue:
• observable in all sort of menus including homescreen, gallery and settings
• issue only grafic
– video issue:
• green output
• camu is incredible slow
Else I’m very pleased with the release, the performance is allright, all (tested) apps work just fine. Thanks!
display shift
I try it and had some bugs. I had to downgrade to 20150331 more stable.
The issue is: Glitch happens when scrolling, camera pictures is ok on both versions, but I had greenscreen whe record videos. Also had problems with google services. Radio is not working at all.
But thanks anyway. Is best then my older rom. I hope you fix soon the cammera problem.
Scrolling oft lists dies flicker
Scrolling of lists does flicker even in Browser like firefox or Menues. Firefox has by the way no broken graphics like chrome. See amazon Browser on Both Browser to compare

After the upgrade, the device is not blocking.
After I flashed this from cm12 its rebooting every few minutes when charging, then I cleared system as well with dalvik cache and cache and flashed again with gapps 5.1, still the same so I wiped everything (cache,dalvick,system,data,internal storage) and flashed it with odin without the gapps, still the same to I flashed the 5.1 gapps again… the problem persists :/
