CyanogenMod 12.1

New stable release (20150704) of CM12.1 for S3 Mini is available!

For flashing Lollipop, we recommend you to install our TWRP recovery (available on Download page)!

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.

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 😉
Thanks.

If somehow you’ll find a bug, use our bugtracker if you want to report it.

      On older versions it worked for me, when i left the MVNO type to none and MVNO value to Not set. Dont matter what the Provider set automatic.

    Ty Nova Team

    But this time a lots of bugs:

    – WIFI Drop -> After some time Wifi drop connection and I need turning off an on again
    – Torch reboots -> I turn on Flash on camera, or on torch or menssager apps to take a pic with flash, the phone fronzen and reboot
    – Reboots leave so much time and drain a lots of battery
    – Battery wont correct display -> All times battery full charge show only 94%
    – Video Codec wont work properly -> Sometime YouTube work, sometime crash, in my games is the same, sometimes work videos from games, some crashs…
    – Phone App is so slown and lagglly…
    – Keyboard freezing -> Every app the keybord won’t work properlly, I tap tap and don’t write anything.

    One good thing:

    – Keyboard freezing stopped, to make that, I donwload google keyboard and after some settings the keyboard work properlly

    Ty for all work Nova Team 😀

    Great work.
    Here are my bugs :

    – Bad French layouts
    – BLN Control doesn’t work, due to Novafusion kernel, apparently
    – Still torch Long on-time.
    – Still torch crashes when toggle several times… then the phone reboots
    – No EAP-SIM
    – Sometimes when I turn on the screen, the touch doesn’t work.
    – Battery drains so fast !
    – slower compared with previous releases

    To Nova Team:
    – could you update the link to download GAPPS, please ? It is broken… and I asked it several times
    – could you update TWRP to 2.8.7.0 ?

    Has anyone used miui kitkat rom for s3 mini ? Give a review?

  • Vincent says:

    Hello there,I can’t stand anymore this huge amount of reboot I get. It seams that it’s the only thing my phone is able to do for now… It crashes about 5 or 6 times a day, for no reason, and can’t work again until I plug the battery charger on, even though it is about 35% charged. 🙁 Any idea or information on what’s happening ?
