RELEASE for S3 Mini
CyanogenMod 12.1

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.
Changelog:

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.

Fix Instagram videos pliz.
I am having problems with this rom, screen is getting red borders every 2-3 seconds, and when rebooting App Optimization was not done, back to prevous release..
How do you update from the previous version to this version? Do I have to download the zip, move it to my phone and then install it in recovery mode using “Install”?
Yes. But you can download zip using your phone. you don’t have to move it from computer. remember install gapps too! (If you are already using CM12.1)
Cuando va a funcionar el video
system not responding :/
why is back button not working
The screen get red borders
Hello 🙂
some bugs have been corrected ? ! 🙂
No errors with red borders for me, this release is running great.
there are even more bugs!
even more ?
Well, for me, I don’t untersand why there is a new bug (compared to first CM12.0 and CM12.1 release) with data icon. The exclamation point disappears whereas it shouldn’t.
performance rather deteriorated. There are also problems in the battery. Users also better if you add the feature. MA-based version of the android meanwhile when future?
periscope video error :/
It’s a newbie question sorry for this:
Is the past improvement always be in the new released?
Like ArchiDroid’s Optimizations.
Please for the love of god update carbonLP
vine , periscope and instagram video error.
I’d like to ask everyone…..has ANYONE found a CALL RECORDER working just fine with Maclaw CM 12.1 for S3-mini i8190?! I Do really need a trustable recorder…anyone managed to setup “Boldbeast” correctly? Or “Call Recorder” by Skvalex?
Thx in advance u all! 😉
Day 31, the developers still don’t release a Carbon update.
Maybe you can try to find another developers that release a new frequently version for that rom for free, or maybe you can start to develop your own version (i think the last one is a better choice)
I’m just stating a fact, nothing else.
Ok this one is minor bug, one that I can totally live with but I just thought I’d mention it in case it’s an easily resolvable issue.
Whenever I try to use the search assistant to set an alarm I get an error message saying “unfortunately clock has stopped.” The search assistant works fine and even confirms that the alarm was set but because clock crashed it actually wasn’t really set.
Actually just realized that the stock clock app doesn’t work at all (the CM clock doesn’t have an alarm). It crashes every time as soon as I launch it. Only the widget works. Hopefully you guys will work out a fix at some point.
In last release I had this problem. To the clock work I have to disable this app (clock) in Configurations > Apps, clean your datas and enable him.
Hey thank you so much!!! I did as you said and the clock now works 🙂 I can set alarm using voice and everything. AWESOME! Thanks again for your help! 🙂
Very laggy, very slowly. Went back to the 20150723 version
Yes, I can confirm that. Significantly slower! Hope that it will be fixed soon.
how can I go back to previouse version? Because everytime I tried to flash the old one, it become buggy and bootloop appear.
Thx
Please update Carbon5.1, because it’s more stable. Thanks
Download Page does not work. Why the f*** login? Any mirror?
Fix the camera ¬¬’
Again: CM11 YouTube!!!
It is working. Just flash the right Gapps
No sound in media player
I can confirm that, system not responding, very slow, laggy
To me if I work well , and had no failures , camu is very slow and bad . Still using vivavideo videos are good and in HD. for repair bugs you will wipe only dalvik chache,cache and system NO WIPE DATA but i cant move apps for sd card. sorry my english is bad./ a mi me funciona de maravilla, no tengo problemas de rendimiento ni batería y tampoco esas partes rojas mencionadas pero aun así sigue sin poderes grabar bien los vídeos con la aplicación stock.pero no todo es malo.Nos recomiendan usar (CAMU) pero es demasiada mala esta aplicación (lenta y mala calidad) usen viva vídeo esta aplicion es la solución a sus problemas. De nuevo perdón por mi ingles.
Que tal el consumo de bateria?
Mejor que con la ROM anterior?
La batería tiene un consumo bueno o normal,pero si me fije que la aplicación de musica (eleven) no sirve,pero pueden usar la aplicacion (apollo(cyanogenmod 11)) y funcionara igual,también se reproducirá en la pantalla de bloqueo.
Cfps gracias por la respuesta. Volví a instalar la ROM del 23/07 me parece que esta del 01/08 hace que las aplicaciones brinquen, no hay una respuesta fluida.
Como ya lo manifesté esta ROM es buena, los únicos fallos que encuentro evidentes es la aplicación de eleven y que no se puede grabar la pantalla,tienes que hacer un backup de solo el data (yo uso twrp) y lo wipeas,acto seguido restableces el backup.
la batería dura menos de 12 horas, sin greenify y no tengo instalado ni fb ni messenger, sólo twitter y whatsapp
the server drops the connection while downloading
how to fix the green screen camera recording?
very unstable, frequent resets – reply sms, call itp.
Still I can’t install Facebook… I always get an error. Sometime the installation is so long but it always failed so I had to download it again and getting the same errors….Please help me
Try install Facebook app with Aptoide, installation is very fast, without any problem.
Try Facebook Lite. It works for me
Very good rom, only problem that I have is a big battery drain. Suggestion?
Hi devs,
are there plans to make cyanogenmod runnable on the “samsung s3 mini GTi8200”? It must not be lollipop, but a version, that is not so vulnarability as the stock-rom (I’ve got jellybean from samsung in the moment).
So, if there are no plans, I would advise to start the work on it. The device base will grow rapidly.
Thank you in advance
Andy
fix fm radio (no work with Spirit 1 and 2 FM Radio, fix 720p video? fix the sound incoming call;? fix battery consumption? when solved these problems then I install this rom. thank you for this jobs, Your work is very good thanks, simply these are what serious problems
Try OmniROM 5.1.1. Nova hasn’t updated the download folders so do the google search. Only two issues. No sim contacts access and video noise for which camu apps works. Everything works like it was a stock ROM. Enjoy if you use it.
Is the battery all right? no other bugs? also could you provide a link please, thanks 🙂
I tried to install it but the cell phone got stuck in the boot start. I even waited 20 min. I wiped everything except internal storage but no success. I wish to try it
Robbe,
You have to do a reset first and than a complete wipe (data wipe) as well as dalvik/cache. Once you do that you have to load the ROM, GApps and SU at the same time. You lose root access so you have to load all three. Wait twenty minutes you should fine. Let me know how it goes.
OmniROM 5.1.1 20150712 is the latest ROM that I have installed and it works fine.
No luck mikelly, I have done what you said and never went out of the boot image.
I returned to CM 12.1 07/23
Robbe,
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxy-s3-mini-i8190-gets-android-5-1-1-lollipop-firmware-build-lmy47v-omnirom-1502181 The instruction from these guys work.
I try to reply with detailed instructions but these idiots are preventing me from giving it to you. Do an extensive google search and you’ll find it.
I will try again this weekend and let you know, thanks
No Luck mikelly. Factory reset, wiped data and dalvik cache and stuck in boot logo. I restored my backup of CM12.1 of 07/23.
I really wanted to test omni. The same happened with pacman rom. Stuck in boot logo.
Waiting for new rom from Carbon.
Thaks for your help
Robbe,
Do the Factory reset, wiped data and dalvik cache three times and make sure you include with the ROM, GApps and SU v2.46 That’s on the website. All those three has to be included for Omni to take. Good luck
Robbe,

Robbe,
If that don’t work talk to “Sky” near the top of this comment. He install it on his mini without any issues. He might be able to give you an insight on how he install his as well.
I tried Omni as well but got stuck in a bootloop. Maybe because I’ve i8190N. Too bad, really wanted to try it.
mikelly hi, do you have any idea if it is possible to get rid off the green dot tha opens a sub window in the right side of the screen? In my case is almost over the send button in whatsapp and it is a pain in the a…
Let me know if you know.
Thanks in advance
Solved what I was asking. It is the OmniSwitch. I turned it off
omnirom 5.1.1 doesnt support f2fs so change to ext4….
Does Omnirom support autoupdate from Settings?
OmniROM does autoupdate. They haven’t updated the ROM since 07/12. My ASUS trablet has been updating everyday but I haven’t perform the update because it’s a PITA to do it. I’ll do it once every other month.
Another camera app work in videos?? (no camu)
VivaVideo works just fine for me
Regarding Facebook, I’d recommend not using the Facebook app and installing UC Browser which has some serious Facebook capabilities. I’m running the 0727 release and as soon as I uninstalled the Facebook app, the battery life went from bad to surprisingly good. I did keep the Messenger app even though UC Browser is capable of sending Messenger push notifications (Messenger doesn’t drain the battery as much as the Facebook app and the UI is nice). But yeah, especially with this phone and NovaFusion ROMS, you can save a lot of space and, more importantly, battery life if you DO NOT install the Facebook app.
I noticed that the system slowed down a lot with this version….
md5sum from download site: 82d9148beb9310a676e5478d38a7ec29
md5sum of downloaded file: 84dd90a1602f807e44bebd1b95fbd3ad
wtf?
For me, this release works perfectly fine, thanks nova team!
The file is corrupt i try in my device s3 mini but error while i install cm rom
I’ve been looking for a nicely working call recorder for this Rom for ages. I mean: Ages! Finally I got there and I’d like to share this with you: The app which you’ll find on Playstore is: Boaldbeast. The correct settings are as follows:
– Record Mode: 1, 4, 5
– Record Format: WAV
– WAV Sample Rate: 8000
– Tune Audio Effect: No
– Tune Samsung1: Yes
If volume is a bit low you can increase recording volume in the settings too. The cutomer service it offers is also top-class! If you have a phone and can’t workout right settings, go under the tab “Ask for New Parameters” And you’ll get personally answered and followed through till you solve your issue! Thx to these people too, our S3mini is still on our top ten!!!
Thx for the great job Nova…and thx Boaldbeast in this case!
Seba
Hey guys thanks for support, you’re really doing an amazing job.
In my case the phone its running fine with 23/07 version. A couple of things still not working (selinux, camera→camera illusion resolves it, and cpu governor reset when phone turns off). Thanks!
System very slow 🙁
slow, slow, slow return version 20150723
Robbe,
Here’s a little better instructions on how to install the omni-5.1.1-20150712-golden-HOMEMADE.zip. You will need to perform a full factory wipe, wipe/data and dalvik cache when moving to nightly builds, or you will end up in a boot loop.
As the OmniROM is not a pre-rooted custom firmware, you can install SuperSU on your S3 mini if you want root access. Download the latest stable version of SuperSU by Chainfire and then flash it on the phone via TWRP recovery. it’s on their website.
To Install correctly make sure you have the ROM, GApps and Super User zip files ready to install through TWRP. It will install all three and reboot. Takes about twenty minutes. It’s a PITA but well worth it. As stated before only problem noted were you can’t access the SIM card and the video are scrambled for which CAMU app can handle. If you have any questions please let me know. Enjoy!!
Thanks mikelly, I appreciate it
Robbe,
Not a problem. As you can see when I wrote the comment all my comment are coming in now. Too late for some people to read. They’re holding back my comments until I give up or someone elses bypasses. All my June comments are coming in now. What a crock…
Seriously dude I don’t think they’re doing this on purpose. I’ve had this happen to me as well on several occasions before for comments like “thanks” or “nice work!” where it doesn’t show on here for days. The problem lies somewhere else. I’m wondering if it’s got something to do with clearing the browsing data/cookies after a session.
I would have agreed with you if it was just my one computer. But all my computers (all seven of them plus tablet) are missing the same comments. So it isn’t my end here. Anyhoo some of my comments are returning and others have been gone for a while.
Essa ROM esta funcionando com muita dificuldade, deixando o dispositivo lento e a correção do Wifi Direct e da Conexão por Dados da operadora não estão funcionando tbm. Corrijam, por favor!
I am facing an issue with connecting to our universities WiFi. It is secured with WPA-2 EAP TLS, settings and certificates have been set as they have been in my original OS, however connection to the next Cisco AP fails with “authentication problem”. Any idea what may be wrong?
Thomas,
Try manual settings. Get the necessary info from your universities IT. I had to do the same thing for my school. Good luck
Too buggy and slow, will rollback to a previous version.
Hey developers please in next release add ZRAM COMPRESSER and fix most bugs :(((
Alarme não funciona internet só Wi-Fi e à room está lenta!
Sorry for not using your bugtracker – where did you hide it?
What about stagefright?
I cant connect it to the computer using adb please fix it!
I can help if you want, contact me!
Sorry, where is the bugtracker?
is it possible to switch to Omnirom? and how?

Downloaded cm12.1_golden.nova.20150801.zip. MD5 checksum is 84dd90a1602f807e44bebd1b95fbd3ad not the checksum shown on the download page. Repeated download to check – same checksum. Downloaded older version got same checksum as displayed on the download page. cm12.1_golden.nova.20150801.zip download seems to be corrupt?
Hello someone can tell me how can I download the previous version as this still has many mistakes.
Go to the “Archive” link on the download page, you can find older builds there.
The instagram app crashes when playing a video. How can I fix this issue?
I’m using Phonegram for the time being.
Does this ROMS for GT-I8190 works on GT-I8200?
Sunil Vyas,
This is the only two websites that I know of doing dedicated ROMs for GT-8200. Read the instructions fully and good luck. http://lollipoprom.website/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-mini-value-edition-i8200-custom-roms.html & http://www.galaxy-lollipop.org/upgradeupdate-galaxy-s-iii-mini-ve-i8200-to-5-0-lollipop/ THIS ROM IS FOR GT-8200 ONLY!!!!! Enjoy!!!
Be careful!
the first pae doesn’t exists and I wouldn’t trust the second page! the vote section is fake, and the comments are only a picture! Also you can’t register on the page to leave a comment. I didn’t tried this ROM, because this page isn’t serious!
Do a “Custom ROM for I8200” search on google. There are two websites dedicated to GT-8200. Good luck..
Hi
What is the best release ? CM12.1, Carbon , or OmniROM ?
Thanks
For me its CarbonLP
Carbon
I like CarbonLP but OmniROM is much much smoother in operations. It feels like a stock ROM and have a lot less stuff than CarbonLP. OmniROM is PITA to install as some people have found out. So far only me and Sky are the only ones able to install it. My instruction above on this comment. Good luck if you install it.
CM12.1 slower on my S3 mini.revert back CM11.0
