  • Arden says:

    I installed the previous release. But I backed to the stock rom just in a day. Because battery draining was terrible. It was dying out in half of a day. I wanna use this if it has been fixed.

    By the way, thanks for your incredible effort.

    Regards,

    BATTERY LIFE PROBLEM 🙁

  • bb says:

    If you would have to choose between a debloated stock rom, CM 10.2 or CM11, what would it be? Do you think CM for the S3 Mini is way better than (optimized) stock at this moment? I tried CM11 several months ago, and found it to buggy…

  • Mario says:

    Los luces de los botones se quedan prendidas cuando llega una notificación, aún teniendo la opción para que no se prendan, ese seria el peor problema, otro es que no se pueden enviar vídeos por whatsapp ni por facebook messenger, todo me funciona bien excepto eso, muchas gracias nova por estos grandes aportes

    Hi guys, I need help with installation NovaFusion’s TWRP Recovery v2.8.0.0 20140911 from this page on my Samsung galaxy s3 mini (GT-I8190N). I have on my Galaxy S3 mini official “Android System Recovery ” and I need to install TWRP Recovery. Can I install TWRP Recovery from (.zip) through official “Android System Recovery ” or I have to use Odin_v3.07 flash and make it through Odin (.tar.md5)?

  • bratanski says:

    Hey guys,

    I have an S3 mini GT-I8200. I tried to flash this rom but Odin install failed. Should this ROM work with the 8200 version as well? Just to know whether it’s a local or global problem

    thx

  • Defco says:

    really good work, guys! i’m only weiting for some bugfix on the cm12, i’m impatient to try that rom, i think that will be amazing. thanks nova!

  • mario says:

    testing and delete it. back to 10.2.

    i get an error message, that no mor free space available, to install an app. i don´t like kitkat.
    free space available 3/4 , but it say´s, no free space.
    maybe the apps don´t like kitkat (use of sd-card)

    10.2 is my best choice for s3 mini.

  • Ignacio says:

    I’ve recently installed this release. It works great. I will soon try the compatibility with BT 4.0 devices which is the main reason I departed from official Samsung ROM. Anyway I’m having a terribly annoying problem. Essentially the phone does not charge properly. When I plug the phone it starts charging but after a while it does not charge anymore (even though the phone still informs that it is plugged in and “charging”) and eventually it starts discharging (yes, while it is plugged in). This happens both when I charge with the wall cord or via a USB port.
    When this happens I can resume charging by unplugging the phone and plugging it back in. But this is really a very bad behaviour.
    Does anybody know any way in which this problem can be solved? This is really annoying and it’s pushing me away from this great great release.

  • Izumo Tora says:

    Thanks, works exc!, btw there is a way for unlock the phone for all companies with this rom?

  • Neth says:

    Please work on CM 12, if Camera and RIL will be fixed CM12.0 will be my daily rom.. 🙂
