CyanogenMod 12.1
New stable release (20150711) of CM12.1 for S3 Mini is available!
Please, test it and report any bugs!
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.

I think I lost my phone put a kernel that was to CM 12.1 and now no more restarts. When I try to reinstall the original it gives internal memory and zero xxxxx band. If anyone can help me I appreciate it.
Have you tried to flash the rom in the Odin way?
If you can enter download way
Downloading now… if it doesnt crash when playing videos it will be the perfect rom
Great work.
Here are my bugs,… still the same, unfortunately 🙁
– 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
– issue when toggle Data icon. There was not this issue on CM12.0 and on the first releases of CM12.1
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 ?
Another issue : low incoming call audio
While talking, Press volume down then volume up. It will get fixed.
OK but this is still a bug
GApps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
I’d like download page be updated with this link
it just broke my phone, wlasnie mi sie zepsul telefon od tego updatu
udalo mi sie cofnąć do do wersji 11, ale boot logo jest zepsute
camu video does not take correctly, recommend using Viva Video.
Cant install FB….
Does the **low incoming call audio** issue still exist in this release?
It seems not. Volume is normal
The issue still exist
In my case income call volume is normal
You have to know someotracks, just Press the volume down button then volume up and it will get fixed 🙂
yes, unfortunately it still does i have found out myself.
I know how to fix it. While calling someone, Press the volume down button then volume up. It will get fixed.
How about the facebook and move app to ext sd card? Does it work now?
Fix the camera 🙁 Carbon 4.4.4 is the best.
Does facebook works now? How about move apss to sd card?
Yes, I also wonder if*move apps to sdcard* works
To move to SD card, you need to clear your SD card, so copy all things to PC, format SD card, now in TWRP you’ll format your external SD card with same file systen from your data system, after that you clear cache and dalvik, turn on the phone, move your things back to external SD and now you can move app’s to SD…
Nova fix carbon lp first rather than doing this more bug rom
Hi!
Does this kernel support swap and/or zram? If yes has anybody tried to use it? If no is it possible to add those features?
Thanks
video taken by stock camera app is green
Camu is very very slow
Camu is not slow. You should disable the HD mode settings application.
Have you turned HD mode off? That will speed it up.
Hi!
Great work! Just put it on my S III mini.
My short report:
– Can’t move Apps to SD-Card (“Not enough memory”)
– Bluetooth not working (no connection)
But the rest: excellent! 🙂
Report:
The touch screen still freezes some times and the only way to keep writing is to turn off the screen momentarely with a touch of the power button
Battery with wifi on runs like a rabbit
When will you guys finally update the CARBONLP rom? Waiting for it..
I also prefer the CarbonLP especially for daily use 🙂
CARBONLP is less buggy, that’s for sure 🙂 this release is laggy as fuck. When I am listening to music and being on Play Store I can barely use my phone.
Carbon is great, I could finally watch movies on YT, FB and Instagram. It’s faster. IMHO they should focus more on CARBONLP.
Upgrading Carbon 4.4.4 Video sharing and Snapchat (+instagram, …) would be nice too. It would be (completely) stable if they do that. I’d really like to see that, they already have the code because the bug doesn’t exist in other CM-releases so it shouldn’t be a lot of work. Upgrading AOSPA at the same time would be great too.
Yes please update CarbonLP I find it MUCH better for daily use than CyanogenMod as of right now and I keep checking the website to see an update but never find one
When you try to record with the recorder app or a vocal message in whatsapp, phone says that the microphone is still used by another application.
everything else works fine (except for the green camera recording! 😉 )
Good job, anyway!
Is it possible to move apps in ext sd?
Hello ROM works bi talk much when he has been blocked dokomatik tighten the search does not work
Merhabalar romda soyle bi sıkın bulunmaktadır aramada fazla konuşma yaptığında dokomatik kitlenip calişmiyor
Maclaw,you are retarded idiot,you need to know that!

Fuck you moron!

But this is mine 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 messenger apps to take a pic with flash, the phone frozen and reboot
– Random reboots because crash cause a lose of cache -> After a random crash or reboot the phone auto clear the cache, this make the re-initialization so long and drain a lots of battery because android make a optimization of all apps to start.
– 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 crash…
– Phone App is so slow and lagglly -> Phone don’t turn on if somebody call me and for see I need to block and unblock to see when is calling
– No more battery optimization -> I migrate to Lolipop because in first releases, the SO consume so much lass than KitKat, now… The battery drain a lots without causes, and I see in configs and isn’t 1Ghz bug.
– In call slow volume -> To make it normal I need tap vol – and vol + to work properly.
– No apps to record Videos -> I tried CAMU but is so trash, the record is in slow-motion, and other apps records green too.
One good thing:
– Torch reboots now leave more time do happen but, if happen drain a lots of battery because Android start optimization after a lose of cache.
– YouTube and Facebook videos work well, I don’t have problems with that. I don’t use Instagram or Twitch to know about that two.
A personal comment: I like so much of functions of Lolipop, for me this is the best SO can I tried on mine phone. I like so much of new volume system and new “dont disturb for X hour” or “only stars contacts can call you” , I belive this a wonderfull work and wait for a final milestone release from this SO for mine S3 Mini. This’ll the last ROM for this phone.
Ty for all work Nova Team 😀

-Problem with instagram when go to play any video

Hello,
Could you update the donwloads section with your latest release (20150711) ?
Also, I can confirm… that low incoming call volume remains a problem, using 20150701.
If it helps: The volume is fine when the caller uses a land line, issues start when the callers use mobile phones…
Thanks for your work 🙂
CyanogenMod 12.1 supports sd card 64gb?
Yes. I use an 64GB card since Kitkat.
Thanks, I ‘m trying to partition my SD Card 64GB for use with Link2SD , but always gives error!
bug: unable to receive/send MMS (mobile data internet and sms works perfect)
tried deleting and manually creating APN’s but no result…
