New MILESTONE release (20150813) of CM12.1 for S3 Mini is available!
It is new chapter in development of Lollipop for S3 Mini. Everything has been cleaned. It is completely pure, without strange, unstable “improvements”, with cleaned patches and all stuff like that. But also we might forgotten about something – if we do, please, report that fact and we will include this changes (if they weren’t the ones that we’ve removed due to their “destructivity” of performance/stability) in release tomorrow – but we need your help with testing in here!
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:
- CM sources update
- fixed stragefright critical bugs
- recreated patches
- recreated build and device tree

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.

Very nice guys!! 🙂 Downloading now and testing 🙂
Does “System” partition support f2fs?
I’m interested too.
Hi! Thanks for your great work!
Could you please tell me if the kernel supports zRAM?
Thanks again 🙂
Problema no video ainda??? affs… Quando consertar esse b.o. eu instalo.
Sim Tool Kit work?
Thank you so much for everything!
Thank you – will try it….
Does anyone knows if 1ghz bug it’s fixed?
I’m in CM12 now, but i want to update soon 😀
Great work Nova, You’re Amazing guys
Sorry for my bad english :B
does it stills have the rst_stat 0x0000000 error
So there will be another release tomorrow that’s more stable? p.s thanks novafusion!
still i apologize
“video taken by stock camera app is green, but some apps like Camu taking correct videos without any issues”
🙁 I thought it would be solved
me too
Anche io
me too
No .tar.md5 extension so I can’t install with odin. And installing with TWRP I get stuck at flashing the file. It’s stuck at “detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p22”.
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.
– Sometimes, torch crashes
– No EAP-SIM, whereas it exists on Samsung ROM stock
– very slower compared with previous releases
– bug with data/network icon (exclamation point disappears whereas it should be shown when data if off)
Not tested :
– Battery drains so fast ?
– Sometimes when I turn on the screen, the touch doesn’t work ?
– Low incall volume ?
– Sometimes when I turn on the screen, the touch doesn’t work ?
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 ?
Many people have given you links to both gapps and TWRP, and why but bugs down on the list when you haven’t even tested them….
Download the PA Gapps here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/03/download-android-51x-lollipop-pa-gapps.html
always copy paste your comment? hahaha
Still the bug with low income voume
still this bug : Sometimes when I turn on the screen, the touch doesn’t work
good job, when he solved the green recording?:(
> If somehow you’ll find a bug, use our bugtracker if you want to report it.
Where is this bugtracker? On GitHub? Or there, in comments?
Create an issue on GitHub for the most relevant repo.
Does it mean that just applied Archidroid optimalization has been also removed?
I lost some google apps, like the play store and I can’t download the Gapps from your download page because they are not available to download, guys please help me…
I can confirm, that performance is much better than the previous update.
I havent had time to test other things, but the performance is seriously much better
As long as video recording is not fixed I cannot use it, as I have kids to film.
Camu supports only lowres video which is like .3 Mp just good enough for a selfie 🙂
Try Videocam Illusion, it’s much better than Camu.
What is the resolution with videocam illusion? HD?
you will use vivavideo
Se eliminaron las opciones de rendimiento
Google apps download link pls?
it lacks the selection “performance”
System partition need f2fs filesystem too, some apps stuck on “installation” when downloaded or updated from playstore.
Thanks Nova !
But when you guys will fix the camera not recording ?
Can someone link me the Gapps for this version? I was flashing from CM 12 but I lost all google apps. Please, they aren’t available in the download page.
I am from Indonesia, I wanted to use the video in cm12 I hope can be overcome
Have anyone tested it yet?
I’m flashing the rom right now
I did. And I will write a little user relevant update log (what I find). I’m using it since 18:00 and I had no bug until now.^^ (exept Camera)
Just installed 20150813 release. WLAN tethering doesn’t work. WLAN hotspot is beeing acivated and deactivated in turns every two seconds, each time causing an “error” message an starting acivation and deactivation all over again. The only way to stop that is to turn off WLAN. Phone eventually freezes, so turning off WLAN is not possible. You have to take out the battery then.
Only issue I’ve come across is the battery (It seems to drain quite quickly on wifi)
error excuting updater binary in zip extern error flashing zip
updating partition details
WHICH APPLICATIONS THAT RUN THE RECORDING OF VIDEOS PROPERLY?
Thank you NovaTeam
Bug report by Ilya
==================
BUG-1. During installation via TWRP no brand nova installer, installation is automatic, the report is only issued to the console.
BUG-2. Can’t find icon for stock camera in the main menu. The stock camera can only be run from the lock screen (like a phone).
BUG-3. Fast dormancy (secril-fd-interface) constantly wakes phone from deep sleep.
BUG-4. Not working phone speaker in Hangouts. Works only main speaker or headphones.
BUG-5. During installation automaticly format /system from f2fs back to ext4.
BUG-6. The flashlight turns on with a delay.
BUG-7. Very long splash after the first run. Application optimization after installing are very slow.
Details
——————
BUG-5. Console output:
…
detected filesystem f2fs for /dev/block/mmcblk9p22
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk9p22
BUG-6. For comparation, on cyanogenMod 11.0 20150810 the flashlight turns on immediately.
Battery also runs out extremely quick on wifi
Actually upon further review the battery seems alright now…
wifi drops sometimes though
Only issues I had where 1 wifi drop and battery seemed to run out very quickly at the start but then later on didn’t go down as fast, great work novafusion! excited for this new chapter of roms
Thanks Nova.
-dialer stops working when there is an income call.
-you eliminated the possibility to change governors and schedulers.
Offfline charging does not work. Cellphone restarts
Not able to even charge the battery with cell on, going back to 07/23 rom
Robbe,
Here’s another way to install OmniROM. Install the ROM in accordance with instructions. If you are in a boot loop go into TWRP and install GApps and Superuser again and clear the Dalvik/cache onetime and boot into system. Wait twenty minutes and it should take. Let me know if you decide to try this method. Good luck
I will this weekend, thanks a lot for your research
I forgot to mentioned make sure your filesystem is ext4 and not f2fs. I didn’t notice it before so that might make a difference. Good luck..
It worked mikelly, was the file system issue. Now with ext4 started. Inmediatelly.
Thanks, I will try it during the week end.
Pretty smooth
You’re welcome. I’m glad it worked. It doesn’t have a whole lot of stuff like CarbonLP but it’s very functional and only issues are not able access SIM card and video scrambling for which camu apk or something similiar can resolve.
On the performance change the setting too “ondemand” and “noop” and reset the min to 200mhz and max 1000mhz you’ll have a very lengthy battery life. For some reason it set the min to 1000mhz. Enjoy!!
La pantalla de vez en cuando suele fallar como un lagrimeo.
Y cámara.
quiero pensar que no es la primera vez que flasheas tu cel, y por lo tanto te habrá pasado lo mismo en las primeras versiones, teniendo este precedente, no crees que con la explicación que dieron en el post daba a entender que era posible que fallaran algunas cosas? estan queriendo dejar un mejor sistema del que actualmente tiene, entonces en vez de recriminarle lo mejor seria agradecer y simplemente decir ‘la camara esta fallando “otra vez”‘ (si es que ya se habia solucionado el problema)
Hi All,
Pros.
– I’ve an impression that system is slightly faster than before,
– I’ve also an impression that battery usage is lower than before.
Cons.
– low volume of incoming / outgoing calls – really annoying. Volume improved when during call somebody else tried to reach me, I heard a beep sound and then the voice of my speaker went lauder.
– occasional crash of Phone app, Hangouts app,
– camera not working (green screen recording).
Thank you for the really good release.
i cant install Facebook app, it gives a -504 error
🙁
great work
And still stuck on installing Facebook. And also when I restart my phone the battery percent drops so low. please fix those bugs…THANK YOU NOVA FUSION for making a roms.
You should install UC Browser which you can get Facebook notifications in a lightweight way. Or you can try and install Facebook with Aptoide.
What is aptoide?where can I get it?
Aptoide.com or just Google it.
Thanks maclaw. There are some bugs in the new version. Incoming calls in the earpiece volume is low. However, a narrowed range sound re-opened the improving. Another error screen transitions going on during partial graphical choppy. There are some features that I want to include a. In the original Cyanogenmod ROM features and multi-user features such as wake of the screen in the notification. I wish to add these features. I also wish to add that of the property in which Cyanogenmod shortcuts. Respects
Great work novafusion. Only thing (showstopper for me) is that video camera cannot record well in HD It ‘can’ record in HD (1280×720) but you get like 3 frames per second. I tested this with the app “videocam illusion”.
The workaround (also with camu) is to lower the resolution to 640×480, but come on…thats even less than the cheapest webcam these days 🙂
So as i need a fully working videocam as with stock, I go back to novafusion CM11. Bye bye guys, i will keep an eye on cm12.1 if they ever fix the camera.
Hi, great work. Only one question, where can I find the performance button?
It didnt install….it came installation aborted
So really, nothing has changed. Great… Appreciate the efforts, though.
It was just a cleanup as they stated on the original post. They just cleaned the ROM of unused/killing performance patches.
Gapps for 5.1.x http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
thank you …..buddy
Great update. Apps like instagram and youtube works great. Anyway, can you add the feature of “user”? Thanks.
Everything works fine youtube etc. Battery usage is also good. Only thing is there is no Performance setting that we could set cpu governor above the ”DeveloperOptions”.
The best and purest GAPPS i’ve ever used is here i recommed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330
Always do clean install for rom’s best performance.
Dialer crashes whenever I get call. I can’t change governors. Other than that is working smoothly.
The Dialer must be fixed ASAP!
The battery life IMO is better even with wifi on.
Phone does not wake up screen on incoming call?. Home button will wake it up but I’m sure it used to just wake up when a new call comes in?
Update is very good. Before the update, i used CM 12.1 20150705 and have issue in playing video in Instagram. And when i lock the screen, when finished downloading, it won’t install it need to turn the screen on, so it will install aplication. But both issues is fixed. Thank you. And the pixel is clearer than 20150705. i really love it. And now it’s faster and smoother.
Congratulations, so far, for me , is very good , is working very light ! it is possible to correct the green video ? I am currently using “Viva Video”!
Flickering is back.
Dialer crash 🙁
Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
How do i fix this?
Help please.
Depends werd you got tour gapps 🙂
Reflash the rom and download the gapps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347
Choose either nano or pico.
Good luck
Problem solved!
Thank you very much.
Problem solved!
Thank you very much.
Great
Thank you very much for the rom novafusion
I am a blind user and cm android
They could help the talkback screen reader is more compatible with this rom?
Please nf
I mean it depends were you got your gapps from.
Problems connecting 3G, The android don’t save changes to the APN 🙁
The only problem i get! All working fine! It’s way smoother than the stock rom!
Make a very clean install with TK nano GAPPS.
Thank you for this release! If I fix the 3g problem I post here.
Noted the formatation to EXT4 when installing, as Ilya said!
So much for improvement. Look like OmniROM will be my permanent choice. I don’t mind not accessing SIM card nor video scrambling since camu can handle the video. Other than that everything else works great.
Here’s an idea!!! Look at how they were able to solve most of the problem you have on CM12.1 and incorporate some of their solution into your ROM unless you’re too proud to accept the fact that you can’t have a stable lollipop rom. You guys have done wonders to CM11 that I have been using for a long time until I switched to CarbonLP and than to OmniROM.
There are no shame in admitting you can’t solve all the problems. So do yourself and your fans here a favor look at other ROMs and see how they made it work and incorporate pieces of that into your ROM. Like I stated it’s just an idea. A common sense idea but just an idea nevertheless.
Link to omnirom pls?
Where do you get this omnirom – quite happy with novafusion but dialer failing and dropped calls is the major problem for me
Bohdi,
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/vfyl8uk44aa7t/omni_golden Enjoy!!!
Read the 08012015 CM12.1 comments that I wrote. It’ll have the url listed. I don’t know the comment I wrote to you earlier will be posted so good luck in finding my comment.
Mikelly, thanks sooo much – been running omni for 24 hours now and its great! Quite stripped down compared to cm12 but that’s great because our s3 mini is getting quite long in the tooth now …..cm12 is quite bloated….. Thanks for all the fantastic work maclaw – will you release a slimrom? Might try that – else omni is my new from!
I have some bluetooth issues. sometimes it wont turn on.
when someone called black screen and cannot answer call and it cannot be excluded either sensor
hi guys already took two days testing this new rom , but has problems as the screen is distorted at the bottom , in the battery is a little more fluid than the previous upgrade and also have problems with the games when I close an stays in black screen and then I have to restart the phone, I would greatly appreciate if you solve these problems , on the other hand I really liked the new features added to it … I hope you read this review and take into account what I told you .. thank you guys
