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.

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.

This version is working ? No principal bug and big ? Sorry for my bad english i’m french 😉
I didn’t find anything.
How can I use Xposed??
Install latest TWRP and install xposed experimental for android 5.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/super-alpha-posted-permission-xposed-t3072979 here
Nice, thanks 😀 Should I flash the v74 ZIP’S?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3471166&d=1442064943 i flash this
Is this the uninstaller ? :http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3471163&d=1442064943 and can you send a link for the *.apk file? Can i usw Xposed installer alpha 3?
Is this release usable? Last release had random reboot issues, making the phone unusable.
It still has random reboots while charging. Still unusable.
Im sure that u have problems with ur battery because the last 3 updates are great and no more people are complaining about that problem. Check ur battery dud.
I doubt it is the battery, it is new and tried with that one and the old one and it still happened. I reverted back to the September 1st release and it doesn’t happen any more.
I’m having problems with random reboots while charging, but I’m not complaining…
I have the same problem. Reboots happens when mobile internet turned on during charging. When i turn it off or use WiFi connection there are any reboots while charging. Sorry for my english.
Modem not work… no connection with operator, only emergency calls…
I make clean installation three times, and re-download ROM…
After reboot twice, it start working
Hello,
How can I update my phone via TWRP? Is it the same way to install the GApps?
Yes. Also read the tutorial.
Hello. Somebody know: What with CM11 for s3mini ?
This version messed up my S3 Mini :-S… it’s in a “teamwinrecovery loop”.
Just updated, and so far I’m getting awesome performance and extremely smooth (for this phone) animations. Multi User mode works well, but it’s slow. Keep up the great work!
Hi
problems with WIFI connection. To connect I always need to remove the saved WIFI endpoint, pick it from the list, enter the password and press the connect button.
It is annoying, to enter the password each and every time while connecting to the WIFI again.
Apart from that, I am very happy with the result of your work! 🙂
I try app “move to sd card” and get “couldn’t move app. Not enough storage space.
How can I use CAMU as my main camera app? I don’t want to see green videos anymore….
Are you serious?
of course, I am really serious ! why ?
I just thought it was odd that someone was screwing around with custom ROM’s but didn’t know how to set default app permissions, that’s all.
Also, use Google once in awhile. Wouldn’t hurt…
Your comment is so help full… 😉
I can feel your sarcasm from here. And you know, maybe you can take your own advice…
Damn… we are surrounded by this King of users that they never at least search in the damn Google… Don’t waste your time Mike…
This release is stable and perfectly usable just like the last one. I do not have a single reboot in a month. I suggest to all of you who experience troubles to make a wipe of all the memory including system, data and cache before install the novafusion firmware. Best practice is to format all the partitions with f2fs. It is probably that all of your problems are due to erroneous config files that remains from the original android system. Once you have done this, you can update via twrp without troubles from a release to a successive one.
I’ve personally done this (format on f2fs) and that doesn’t work. My phone keeps rebooting on this and the previous release. The September 1st release is the one thats working without any random reboots.
Hi, before to install this version, I formatted my /system partition to f2sf (it was ext4), then after installed this ROM, the /system partition backs to ext4… is this a normal behavior?
thanks a lot to all of you for these wonderful ROM (I follow you from CM10).
After charging the smartphone processor sticks to the minimum frequency (version 1.9.15 ) , then the problem solved? ( I apologize for the Russian English)
VPN Works?
Test it and find out.
Another helpfull comment form Mike…
Well, what do you expect? Not EVERY function will work flawlessly across EVERY variant of the MINI S3.
Lets not forget that this ROM is still in development, we /are/ the beta testers so it is up to us to find problems and report them.
So if you really want to help the with progress, do as stated above and stop wasting everyone’s time with pointless questions. Capisce?
Was actually more helpful than yours, funny that…

JSz, yours does not help to anyone (and event not to yourself).
I actually left a rather big post about the ROM being in beta development and how we are the testers and pointless questions, but have the moderator approval BS on it for some reason. :/
Hey mike, i am very busy right now, could you test it for my, please? Tnks
If you have the time to flash and test custom ROM’s, you have the time to test one function. Please don’t use others as an excuse for your laziness. Thanks.
Hello a question, and you can install applications that are not in the play store , thank you very much , sorry for my English .
the radio doesent work to me, i downloaded spirit1 and spirit2, and non of them seems to work
hey guys,
after flashing this I got the following problem.
Both buttons next to the home button aren’t functioning anymore…
Any ideas?
Insufficient charge current! why?
Flickering again.
Also reboots when setting wallpapers.
Same back to previous build. 😐
You mean broken VSync?\
List the technical specification of your device and if the issue is APP related so the dev team can look into.
And to everyone else: don’t just state a problem but give the dev team something to go by so the issues can be fixed.
my phone is restarted suddenly
Cm 12.1 unstable, use slimkitkat, cm11 or omnilp
I want to ask before update to this version
is there any bug on instagram video?
how about bln control, is this kernel version support it?
sorry for bad english I’m Indonesian. 🙂
Screen Tearing Again… Back to previous build…
Everything worked fine, but after a reboot “gpslocationprovider” makes 100% CPU for me. There is no app, that uses gps (no icon in the top menu bar).
I forgot:
– I can’t toggle on and off the energy saving mode with the quick settings button. I need to hold the button (to open the menu) and switch it on there.
– Energy saving mode is not re-activated after disconnect the charger (if it was active before).
When ı caılling someone or someone calling to me dialler stopping. ?? how can solve it??
please add the double tap to wake
Hello,
I have an annoying problem with my phone. It very often doesn’t connect to wi-fi before I switch on the display. The “keep wi-fi on during sleep” is set to always. Well is this a bug or just an useless feature? 🙂
Hey guys,
this rom works perfectly fine for me besides my both softkeys arent working anymore…
Any ideas?
But there is only a procedure for using Odin and installing GApps via TWRP.
I have a problem whit all relased of cyanogenmod,if i install a rom whit odin but i not wipe,in the finish the rom need a pin and i cant use the phone.sorry my inglish is very bad
Actually its difficult to understand you. If system wants you to put password ( i hope you dont mean sim pin xd) you dont know, the only way is to wipe and perform a clean installation
Back button isn’t working in Play Store sometimes.
is introducing bugs when you get off the charts.
I discovered it when surfing the applications of the system after upgrading and appreciate this bug, please fix as the rom was luxury before
if only it is not my case that this happens, but if more please report it to settle it
Hi, I’m brazilian and my 3g isn’t working, how can I fix that?
Bug: move to SD doesn’t work.
p.s. App to SD
Cannot playing game Sims, Real Racing 3 and other similiar games.
Facebook doesn’t install
Why can’t we take videos yet? What’s happening with that? 🙁
Well done Nova fusion team. This is very stable version, no problem found after 2nd day of install.
The alarmclock does not function. There is no sound output. Thanks for fixing the problem.
Greetings!
I found 3 bugs already.
The phone cant read the contacts info from the SIM card, it says its empty, while it is not (read out my sim contacts from an other phone).
The SD-card are mounted wrong! I cant move any program to SD-card from the apps menu, it says theres no space there (while the SD-card are present and usable to store music, pic etc. non programs)
When use the phone to format the SD-card it becomes 0byte “large” after it.
Besides these little annoyances, the ROM is great and stable! Thank you for your great work!
the alarm clock is not working. No output sound. Thanlks for helping.
It can’t load any contacts from the SIM card. If i use apps it gives the folling error:
“Cannot load any contacts. Please make sure yourSIM card have been mounted and some contacts exist.”
How can I fix it and get acces to my sim card contacts again?
Animation flickering. Please fix.
Thanks for the release. I did not experienced any random restarts.
Here is the bugs I’ve found:
– battery is draining so fast (~7-10 hours for normal usage)
– sometimes touchscreen does not work when in lock screen. When I relock and unlock, it is fixed.
– location switch in notification drawer is not shown in lock screen.
– incoming call still delays when telephone is a bit busy
– flashlight delay
– some random stability problems
hope they will be fixed soon. keep up the good work
btw, wiped and formatted as f2fs, experienced no tearing.
Move app to SD doesn’t work
Need more details man, be as thorough with the error as possible.
It say: Impossible to move. Insufficient Space. And when I try to install App2SD I have this warning: “This device does not allow navigation applications to the SD card. probably the manufacturer has locked this feature, or is not inserted SD card”
googletranslate
How odd. Have you tried using a different file manager? Try MiXplorer. Might pay to list your device details as well.
it’s not the problem of file manager, I can freely move Files to SD but I can’t move App like Youtube to SD (Setting>App>Move To SD “doesn’t work”). I tried 4.4 and changed the file system of the microSD too but I still can’t move App to my SD, still it recognize the memory 32GB 10c.
Move app to SD doesn’t work! Settings->Applications->Move to SD-card say:”Can not move to SD card. No space available”(in my translations). But I have more than 6BG free on SD.
Just flashed this rom, have a question more than anything. My carrier is showing as T-Mobile UK rather than EE and the phone is using am old orange sim card. Is this a cell mast thing broadcasting am old identifier for the network or is something amiss with it finding the correct network?
Some APPS are frozen as safeguard to ensure functionality, make sure you are trying to move the whole app and that it is unfrozen first. Try “Titanium Backup” or this guide: http://techgage.com/article/moving_your_non-movable_android_apps_to_an_sd_card/
I use RomToolbox and the app is unfrozen but I can’t move the app. I have 4.4 and it work with RomToolbox I can move app andò default install to SD.
hello someone help me, I can not access download mode, I try to VOL- and power and nothing. I try to the advanced menu restart I can not do it. someone help me please.
take battery out for 1 minute then put it back in

Move app to SD doesn’t work
I try to move app with link2SD, and appear an error ex. (“pkg: /data/appcom.facebook.katana-1/base.apk failure [install_failed_container_error]
I have mount EXT4.
I followed the guide, I’m italian and my network is called “Wind”. The phone seems to work but I can’t call or receive calls, the network is unavaiable. What mistake have i made? What should i check?
But in the small novafusion tutorial is no guidance to use TWRP for updates, is it?

Anybody else having problems to install new version of Facebook app (update 21Sep)?? The app downloads but fails when installing. No particular error msg, just says something went wrong.
Not a big deal for me, but wanted to report just in case.
Please point to the ignorant (me) a way to update from “cm12.1_golden.nova.20150916.ODIN_TWRP” (first time flashing from stock) to this new version.
Tnks and keep up the good work!
