RELEASE for S3 Mini
CyanogenMod 12.1
New stable release (20150829) 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.
Changelog:
- CM sources updated to latest version
- fixed wifi crashes for some networks and device revisions

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

Update CM 11P plsssssssss!
Could you add an OTA ROM update support?
Build number is 20150901 and I cannot download it π
Good Job, @NovaFusion.
Keep up the great work!
Bugs that I found in this current version:
– Delay when opening apps.
– Apps responding slowly.
– When you RESET APNs to DEFAULT it has no APNs and you cannot add new APN.
– Exclamation point over the WIFI and Data Network.
– Video taken by stock camera app is GREEN.
Hope you will fix these bugs, and also release Android Marshmallow (Android 6.0).
@NovaFusion, Thank you so much!
How about moving apps to sdcard. Is it working now?
I don’t have an SDcard.
Please don’t demand an even newer OS, bevor the previous one is even close to usable. This seems ungrateful and you are going to make the devs nervous with such utopian wishes.
π
please update CarbonPL with the same news of CM12
+ 1
Yes please!!!!!!!!!
please fix call audio volume is slowly, sorry for bad english
Are YouTube and offline Charging working ??
You are doing a great job, keep on working!
There is a small problem with the camera App, it does not save EXIF data, no date etc., and it seems the files are higher compressed, as from the original app.
Is there a possibility to use the contacts from the SIM cards directly in the phone app (accept import).
Hoe.
Δ° have a issues , offline charging , when i take charge phone stop the load screen
Hi guys,
i don’t know much about this kind of stuffs but has anybody tried this cam called google camera which is supposed to replace the stock camera ? this gapps called Opengapp contains it :
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Stock-Package
Download: http://opengapps.org/
IΒ΄m using it. ItΒ΄s nice app. At first launch may crash until you take the first photo…
is it works fine without any problem with cm12.1 ?
Yes, for me it works perfectly on cm 12.1. Only recorded video is green, this is solvable by using Camu or Videocam Illusion.
i use VivaVideo
video editor
flat and material deisgn
a lot of effects
Remember not all GApps are equal. Some will work and others will give you endless bootloop. Make sure you do your research before you download any GApps.
i googled it and you can download it easily from playstrore give it a try
Hello mikelly,
How to activate “Root access”, in Omnirom , please ? Maybe my battery problem come from bad calibration….
Vope,
Download and install Super User from Chainfire. Do the update and reboot. OmniROM doesn’t have root access to begin with. If you have any more questions please let me know.
Does omni rom supports moving apps to sdcard?
Jamar,
No. If I remember correctly CarbonLP does.
Vope,
You may need new battery. I replaced my battery a month ago since I had my original battery and I noticed it drain quickly. The new bat last much longer.
Hello mikelly,
Installation of Super User doesn’t work π
Download Super User from this link:
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Instal with TWRP, Vope
Vope,
Follow the instructions Robbe gave you. Once you install it go to the SU when it ask if you want to update through normal or TWRP clicked normal. It’ll update and start working. Initially you’ll need to install through TWRP but afterwards once the install is done don’t use TWRP again. Good luck
I calibrated the battery, but it drains too fast yet. That doesn’t come from my battery because it worked better with CM12
Vope,
The only thing I can think of is you have a program running in the background if your battery is in perfect condition. Look at the battery and see what programs are running in the background.
download page is not active
hello guys has any of you had a major issue with this release ? Beacause i really want to try this since nova started the cm 12.1 project.
i dont have a “Major” issue with this uptade previous uptade has some issues like some Lag and SCREEN FLICKERING ! but in this uptade all of them fixed… So DOWNLOAD it π
welcome!
be careful i tried to install this rom via twrp and i did factory reset then i started installing this rom then installation is stopped after 4-5 minutes it was the same text on the screen you know nothing happened and i had to remove the battery i could not do anything else. The phone become a hardbrick no samsung logo no download mode just recovery but i cant install anything ( it sais error and offers me the chance to intall supersu because the phone is not rooted)
Try reboot to download mode option in recovery
And flash latest release through odin
If that does not work
Tell me what error Odin says
i think it is a very hard brick i think the kernel or bootloader is gone or something like this important when i turno on the phone white screen comes is with pixels like old crt television like little ants and after that there is a black screen. with some red text on topleft corner RTS_ something [0x0000….] i dont exactly know i googled the problem maybe i found a solution but it wasn’t the same curcumstanec so idecided after a failed try to give to my expert friend. I hope he will succeed.
i know maybe i could solve this but this never happened me with nova roms and i got kinda afraid if i am making things worse
I think it was a uniqe thing with me, i got used to the fast flashing process and the nova made installer but i thougth i should have been done by that time at least the installer should have started. maybe i should have waited more ( ?? )
same problem as you with flashing something before
if you have older release try flashing that in twrp – WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE REBOOTING
if you do not have older release
here is the link
http://get.novafusion.pl/?id=1702
download on windows
just connect to windows by usb then in twrp go to mount –> Enable MTP
then copy release over
and flash zip – REMEMBER WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE REBOOTING
if that will not flash in twrp
then partition table is broken – happened to me by rebooting when installing a kernel
fixing this would require some time and possibly some patience
i can help you on facebook chat
just send me your name on Facebook through email
[email protected]
and i will tell you mine – this way I can help you in real time without send delays
You must install bootlogo and repair this problem
guys, this is crap!
since the end of july every release seems to be useless!
too many soft reboots, battery lasts only few hours, flickering of the screen…
I was happy to read on your email that a new “era” was coming, but it’s completely false!
Probably its tour cellphone, try to change tour batery first. The last release its veryy good, no soft reboots, no flickering, no lag,… Do u do a clean install??
I tried to upgrade… since my first 12.1 I’ve always upgraded…
I think this is the worst release ever, and I’m very sorry about that π
I agree. I posted regarding this, but my post was not approved or it was rejected.
What do you mean with a clean install? If you are updating from an older CM 12 version do you have to wype anything?
IΒ΄m always doing a full wipe even when upgrading from older cm12.1. Maybe it is not necessary, but just to be sure..
First of all – there is no longer dialer crash, hurra
Errrr I wanna give this a try but development seems to have taken a downfall and problems from day one still haven’t been fixed.
I hear OmniROM is going strong at the moment, can someone point me to the latest version and GAPPS for the MINI i8190N?
I cant open Google Play Store.
Someone point me to the latest OmniROM and GAPPS for the MINI. Thanks.

I’m using TWRP recovery, and my I8190L is not booting more, :'( I Never changed the standard system, was not too worried but now I’m getting a little nervous.
I think I did something wrong, because English is not my language.
thank you very much for your help π but right now i don’t have the phone if the problem will still exist i hope we can make a contact
How can I report bugs if I can’t post on the XDA forum??
– Big lag with incoming call: phone vibe but the screen show the incoming call after about 5/6 sec.
— Drop of call call (when you make call)
– Non automatic connection with saved wifi when you turn off 3G to wifi
– If you try to create a new exchange account with the email app the screen is empty. Exchange works great with gMail.. but why use gMail when you have the stock email app? π
– If you tap on the battery saver in the quick settings menu, it doesn’t work.
For a minute I thought the phone was bricked, not out of the logo boot screen. But I can access the TWRP recovery. Less bad…
Right, download done without errors by Free Download Manager, but the 7-zip file test says the file is broken. Both the zip to TWRP recovery as .tar.md5 for Odin.
This is normal?
Where is my previous comment (#comment-83900)?! I thank the site and downloads. Do not want to disrupt the work of anyone, I’m just trying to update my cell phone… and still did not get.
I understand the video issues really wished it could be fixed in some build
But that’s my problem i was just wondering if anyone is having problems with there WiFi Direct
Does it work??
The ROM is great i get 3 and half hours of screen on time and I like that
So keep up the good work
Please clarify if there is a version for the s3 mini model GT-I8200N.
There are only some threads of People who bricked it.
Hello, at first many thanks for your work!
In CM11 the Softkey LEDs on the S3 mini glowed, to signal received massage or missed calls. Is there such an option in CM 12 too?
Regards Mark
Hi,
I have installed a previous release (May, I think). Installed by Odin without any kind of installation problems. How can I install a new release in my phone? Just flash it with Odin? Some advice? What really is a clean install?
Thanks
Not necessary clean install, you can flash with use TWRP recovery in recovery mode;)
Finally all bugs are fixed… Really Good NovaFusion Team…
– No Tearing
– No Dialer in Status Bar
– Offline Charging Working Perfect (At least for me)
Clean flash with twrp ??
No i only flashed on 8/29 directly
When charging offline, do you see how many percent of battery is available?

Note: Random crashes = Random Reboots..
And random shutdowns sometimes during charging
change the usb cable or the charger.
problem solved this way for me.
What about moving apps to sd card?
Hello guys,
Flashing with odin means that it is automatically uses f2fs system ?
No
Amazing how the dev team have time to verify posts but not offer feedback. Quite counterproductive imo.
Anyway, good work on the ROM but won’t use until final release.
Oh shit, looks the team got sick of verifying posts. In that case, forget my lasts requests, found what I was looking for…
On another note: does anyone actually know why video recording is an ongoing issue?
Mike,
They actually do on XDA-Developers site. They interact with their fans there. An example it someone there provided their concern on dialup hanging up and the dev are fishing for ideas on how and why so they can make it better. Over here not so much. If you really want to know if they’re listening to their fans the answer is “Yes” on XDA and “NO” for here. So if you really need feedback from them go the the XDA-Developers site and post there.
MIke,
Forgot to mention. Go to the other site and try different ROMs. There are 11 different ROMs for our phones. I think you find one you like. I have two phones so I have a best ROM for my daily driver and the other phone I test everything else. There are various ROMs for our phone. Some of the ROMs are SlimROM, Carbon, OmniROM, CM11/12/12.1, PacmanROM, Cromi-KK, SlimKat, ParanoidAndroid, Android Open Kang Project, PureAOSP and Chameleon. Try them and see what you like. Good luck if you decide to go for it.
problems:
video recording broken – i don’t worry much about this
offline charging does not show animation
sometimes screen goes black at random times
fixed
screen flickering is full fixed
in-call volume is much better
no crash will call – did not have this problem anyway
apps seem to open slightly faster
no lag at all when before i had lag sometimes using keyboard
offline charging works pretty well
——more info——
just because offline charging is black does not mean the phone is fully off
at night turn the lights out and plug charger in – as soon as the screen goes black
press power button – you will notice that offline charging does light up screen slowly so this means that offline charging does have an animation but not the right one.
still testing battery drainage compared to last release
THIS RELEASE WAS TESTED ON
s3 mini gt-i8190N – fully charged
filesystem – ext4
wipe – full wipe accept for storage
zip files – gapps flashed
and without f2fs filesystem can i use usb OTG ?
please i need to know if this rom works on Galaxy s3 mini specifically the model GT-I8200L … I would want to try it … Please someone could answer me… I will thank so much…sorry with my English
No, does not work on any i8200 …
Please,can you create a rom for gt-i 8200?
why i can’t install facebook app? and what build is the most stable?
Clear Play store data / cache, then reboot. If it won’t work do it again and turn off your phone. Than go to the play store an use the button “install on” and chose your device. When you will turn on your device it will be installed.. Enjoy your facebook.
Or you install Facebook from another App store like Aptoide
Does it support 64gb external SD card, or what is the highest amount support?
Yes, 64 GB SD card is completely supported.
just clean flashed this rom
and no ringtones are showing up
i go to settings -> sounds -> ringtone -> media storage
i go to settings -> sounds -> notification -> media storage
they just says none
if i select the ringtone through the default theme it still does not work
if i look in system->media->ringtones
they are all there
never mind
just deleted the ringtone and notification folder from internal storage
cleared data of media storage
and rebooted phone
now they are all there
bootloop after this release, I give up, goodbye
Victor,
Read my Sept 4 comments above. There are various ROMs out there and you may find one you like.
I have encountered this, the recovery download does bootloop. Try the Odin, mine worked just fine although my twrp was changed, I think it was changed to 2.7.0.0. And last thing, if Google play services crashes try downloading from the download page. also if the Clock crashes try clearing the its data and cache.
Abi CM11 kadar stabil duruma geldi mi?
permanent bootloop on this release!!!! what to do?
Try to boot into TWRP and restore to your previous ROM is what I would do.
mikelly
Which date of Γmni Rom are you using? I am in 08/16 but I see that people are downloading more the 07/30.
Do you have any idea why?

Call history not work correctly; sometime it register the caller (IN or OUT) as UNKONOWN
Recent call list non work correctly. some calls are registered as UNKNOWN
Hey guys from NovaFusion,
First of all, thank you for all your work with these releases ’cause if it weren’t for you I would still have that bloatware filled piece of shitware from Samsung! So big thumbs up!
But since the last few updates there’s this one bug that really annoys me: when the phone is locked the screen randomly turns on for no reason (no notifications or anything). Is that something you’re trying to fix or is it a problem with my battery (or sim card)?Or is it something else?
Thanks in andvance!
Camu or another camera app dont work. There is no video capture capabile app on play store like camu that was allready dont work.
Battery drain very quick. About in 1hour standart usage and the battery is empty.
Has anyone gets the “failed to install theme” when installing new themes? don’t know how to fix it
Thank you Novafusion for your work. Here is my feedback:
– Device is GT-I8190N, wiped and formatted system, cache and data in f2fs, install via twrp.
– Camera work good. I do not have the green camera bug. I do not know why, but it works good for me.
– Battery consumption is high.
– Some games don’t work.
Still testing.
– Volume is too low even at max settings.
Did you check the camera recorder movie afterwards, like playing it from gallery ? It would be a miracle if the green monster is gone. Also verify if your recording resolution is HD, and not 640×460 (0.3 MP)
I have checked. Photos are ok but video in green. Sorry.
Looking at video, I suggest to check the offset between the start of the collected image data and the start of the real usable image data. Maybe there is some black columns and/or rows, useful to the sensor’s electronics but not useful for image reconstruction.
Same model
– NFC is not detected
– FM radio is not working (Error: No FM Accessible in Spirit FM 2014_11)
thanks nova!
Here my bug: sometime recent call list register the caller name as UNKNOWN
I had a problem with CM 12.1
An option is to restore phone appears in the phone settings.
I gave that option thinking that nothing bad would happen, only that the ROM would start from scratch as the first time, what happened was that I command the TWRP and stays TWRP logo and the minute starts parpear screen.
occupied help to solve this problem
Thank you very much in advance.
Can you not re-flash both TWRP & Rom with ODIN? I believe it could solve…
hi guys already tried the rom and this fluid and I loved it , but when I hear music my cel locks and appears to me that UI system unfortunately has stopped and turns black and I returned again to the blockade and this problem surgioapartir me when 20150831 wing pass …. hope that solutions that please, I really liked this rom the only problem that bothers me … thanks for the work they are doing π
Hi π
Here’s the bugs that I found:
-The flashlight take like 5 seconds to turn on the quick settings bar.
-I can’t turn on the power save mode directly on the quick settings bar, I have to open settings and turn it on.
-Google street doesn’t work (it crashes even before it opens)
-The clock doesn’t work (it crashes even before it opens)
Keep up the good work π
About the clock crashing, this fixed it for me:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/2uazua/cm12_stock_clock_app_crashing/
especially a little slow to respond to the call and call.
application launch and there is slowness in transition.
Where can i find the bugtracker for CM12.1? I thought you only had one bugtracker and accidently posted a CM12.1 related bug on the CM10.0 for Galaxy Core bugtracker …
Either way, I’ve found this bug in the latest CyanogenMod 12.1 releases: the screen randomly turns on without any notification or anything. I’ve been using CyanogenMod, from NovaFusion, on my S3 Mini for a while now (I’v had the 10.0 versions) and this never happened. Is it a bug or is it just my phone that went kaput?
FILESYSTEM IS BEST FOR CM12.1. EXT4 OR F2FS ?
Nice Battery time…
Too Slow answering calls..
Random Reboots..
Anyone has a working FM radio for it?
SD Apps and Hulky camera can wait but please fix reboots and incoming calls, it is a phone, remember…?
Thanks & Keep your hard work!!!
Hello, thanks for the ROM, but i have encourted strange behavior on bluetooth speaker in car. When someone is calling me when they stop talking the radio sounds pop up. Did not encounter this in previous release.
what is seen in this rom contacts and does not recognize the camera in video mode does not record all these problems detected in my Samsing s3 mini GT-I8190l
screen recording does not work. every app using the -theoretically build-in api- hangs the phone. Same happens when you try to record the screen via android studio.
