RELEASE for S3 Mini
Carbon 4.4.2

New release (20140228) of Carbon 4.4.2 for S3 Mini is available!

For flashing KitKat, we recommend you to install our TWRP recovery (available on Download page)!

If you want to say thanks by donating us using PayPal, feel free 😉

Do full backup before installation and wipe data/cache (factory reset) after installation (only from stock ROM).

    • suhi SLO says:

      Install Google camera.

      • Elmario says:

        I tried some camera apps. Front camera isn’t working with either. The worts thing is that front camera keeps beign saved as default setting and will make the camera app crash on every start, thus leaviong no chance for switiching back to backside camera. Only deinstalling and removing fall camera related data using Totanium Backup could help me get the camera working again.
