    Thanks mate, I’ve been patiently waiting 🙂 been running for a few hours with no issues. I don’t know what everyone is talking about, its 99% ready for a beta release.

  • thehamburgler says:

    I’m using it right now, as we speak, and works just fine 😀
    For those who want to flash the ROM, here’s the instructions:

    1. DL the alpha2 zip, place it on your internal/external SD Card, and boot into CWM/TWRP
    2. Do a backup, in case it doesn’t boot up.
    3. Wipe data, then wipe cache partition.
    4. Flash the zip, that should be the one in your int/ext SD Card. Wait for the process to end, and reboot. That should be it!

    For those peeps who flashed the Alpha, here’s what you might expect.

    -The new one is smooth, bugs are as mentioned from the above, less glitchy and all that dizzle.. Battery life is kinda longer than in the stock firmware, I think.
    -The whole thing kinda flickers a bit, and it is sometimes very unappealing to the eyes, but it’s just minor.
    -Definitely faster than the first alpha.

    Good luck, and Happy Flashing!

    I think I’m gonna use this as my daily driver.

  • Jogi says:

    First thanks for this ROM!
    Works really smooth and up to now stable. Good work for an alpha.
    As mentioned by Tiago the GPS doesn’t seam to work (also in Germany). Internal GPS device is selected.

    Thanks for your work

  • daantje2312 says:

    Just installed the ROM and it works perfect!
    Almost no screen flicker, everything works fine.
    Gonna use it as my daily rom! 🙂
    But does anyone know how to transfer file from/to pc via usb?
    It says to use recovery, but in CWM I can’t find ‘Mount USB Storage’ anymore.

  • Daniel Milla says:

    Good but Youtube dont work.

  • daantje2312 says:

    Another thing, anyone has any experience with battery life of this rom versus BenzRom?
    Have used BenzRom before and it gave my s3 mini a good battery life.
    I’m traveling much so I use Spotify alot. So a long lasting battery would be nice 🙂

  • Kirill says:
