You need to perform a wipe if you’re migrating from software different than CM12.0!
You can get it on our DOWNLOAD page.

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 ๐
Thanks.

It was released android 6.0 but still our phone’s video recorder bug is exist. Wtf!
its not novafusions fault… be happy to use 5.1.1 on s3 mini or make it better…
That is because no one can figure out how to fix it, not even the OmniROM team, one of the better developers in this community, and your bitching doesn’t help unless you have info on how to fix the problem. Maybe just be happy that people are doing this just for you instead.
They will never stop grumble ๐
*gasps* it speaks English! You should use it more often here so people understand what you’re saying.
Try VivaVideo.. ๐
Is there any plans to add sdcard support, low capacity of internal storage is annoying.
Thanks for this release! Is the problema with /system ext4 fix it?
Is there a way to rescue the green / damaged videos?
I hear VivaVideo works, pass it on.
can you check it out mike? because i love android lollipo`p its a lot faster than 4.4,,,but i really need the camera, since is the only one that i have
I don’t know how to use the bugtracker to report a bug so I’m going to report a bug here, there is a problem with the CyanogenMod 12.1 20151023, you can’t show your SIM card contacts just the Telephone and Google contacts, and also there is an option to copy a telephone number to the SIM It seems like the contact was copied to your SIM but it doesn’t there is a little bug there and also when you charge your phone when it is off the battery icon doesn’t appear

Hello everybody!
Did anyone manage to enable successfully the disk encryption? If yes – what’s the trick? On my phone it always aborts the encryption and performs a (quick) restart.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for CM. Original camera app is very important. Yes of course, Camu is working, but ฤฑ need original camera app for special app. Please fix original cam. Thank you for attention.
Hello, and you can install applications that are not in play stores, bone downloaded .apk format of any page.
Thank you
you can install apps without using the play store
if you download an apk just tap on it and install
make sure that unknown sources is unticked in security settings first
thank’s you
Hi,
did anyone manage to enable the disk encrytion successfully? If yes – what’s the trick? My phone always aborts the encryption process and performs a (quick) restart.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, you can ignore my comment above – I did not repeat my question intentionally ๐
I already have Cyanogenmod 12.1 with a lastest version, if I wanna update to this version I need to make the wipes? or just go to “Install” from the recovery and install it?
Still no SIM Support
As if they haven’t heard that a billion times. Maybe list your device details?
I’m guessing that the SIM issue will never be fixed. I have tried the earliest version CM ROM and it was problem then too. In fact, it’s a problem is every custom ROM version I have ever used, from Slim-ROM, PAC-ROM, OmniROM, you name it. If they haven’t fixed it by now I doubt they ever will… I suggest you get used to living with it. If it’s a major inconvenience you can always go back to stock!
No hay soporte de Herramientas SIM
I cannot download this release. Captcha says: you must solve one more and keeps in reloading riddles allthe time.
Hello, i think i have the same problem as juli9627. I can not install apps from the SD-card. The button next and install do not work.
im still waiting for fixed the green camera issue :v and some apps not compatible with this rom like minecraft and pewdiepie
Finally figured out what was causing the constant upgrading/optimizing app issue on boot. Glad I got that fixed.
..and how did you do that???
Could you tell us? ๐
Only if you say the magic word. ๐
Please, tell me. That would be really nice. ๐ ๐
Well, because you said please. ๐ Turns out the issue may not be ROM related but more to do with the “Open GAPPS” project. One or more apps puts the ROM into the “optimizing/upgrading” loop. Haven’t figured out how to fix it or find and delete the .odex files (a suggested fix, then reinstalling GAPPS) so I suggest installing the “pico” or “nano” version of “GAPPS” then installing the rest from the “Play Store” to help isolate what is causing the issue.
Either that, or install an earlier version of GAPPS specifically for our device. Look on XDA for that, worked for me.
And you have to do a clean install of GAPPS and the ROM.
Using ext4 only ๐ But losses the offline charging
Will give it a try, thank you for the information.
Thanks for the good work, Novafusion! ๐
Thanks, very stable and smooth. Battery life it also good. For me 2 and more days on moderate use.
Dont know what kind of “minor bugs where fixed from latest releases” but still bugs with:
– changing governor in performance settings
– long delay to display incoming calls
2 DAYS??!?!?! I hardly get 5 hours ๐
Hello, its a nice ROM though there are some issues like;
The flash light doesn’t turn off sometimes.
When phone is OFF, and you put in the charger, the default round lines appear and goes off but the battery and charging indication does not show up (though it still charges offline).
Delay in displaying incoming calls and when making calls too.
Lets say, i start using the phone at about 70% battery power with mobile data turned ON, by the time the battery runs down to 10%, it would shutdown on me. I installed a temperature app and it was saying that my phone temperature was at 39c and that the CPU was hot. I had an old battery in it and it was swallowed and was acting this way, so i bought a new battery and it was acting the same way, shutting down unexpectedly. Could it be hardware fault?
How do i change default Yahoo Weather widget on the screen from “F” to “C” in temperature degree?
I would be very happy if the developers could add the default Radio App which doesn’t require internet to turn into local radio channels.
In “Contacts” option to show contacts on SIM and in “import & export,” option to “export contacts to SIM.”
Thank you.
Can we do something about the camera driver? Write a petition to Samsung?
Is there anything we can do with an outdated driver from Samsung? Can we write a petition to Samsung? Why version KitKat video recording to work despite the fact that we used the driver of the jelly bean?
It is one of the primary fault in the system that makes it unusable for many
I can’t connect using Wi-Fi Direct ๐ and I don’t want to install an app like Super Beam, It requires that the other person haves the same app. The Wi-Fi direct is better than the Bluethoot conection but now I can’t use it ๐
i have problem with offline charging.
fix it please.
It’s not a problem with the ROM.
offline charging does work and it does charge
it is just that the animation is invisible
so do not worry about it
and
it seems that it is way faster to charge phone when it is actually on than in offline charging – don’t know why but this is a thing
Faster charging while online? Absolute horseshit. That would defy a law of thermodynamics if that were the case.
I suggest you time it properly without use from flat both online and off. Report back with the results.
It would be better if offline charging works and show battery indicator and charging percentage.
In my case, the 3g doesn’t work even deleting and recreating APN. : (
Later, I’ll try apply the rom again.
Random reboot and most task manager dont show what apps are running.
I have a problem with 3G..How to fix this? I tried manually but didn’t work..
Thanks guys.
Found the following problems:
* Long display delay at incoming calls
* Random reboot at incoming calls
Switched back to 20151013.
First time experimenting away from stock! So far so good stable with only few issues to note so far:
The video issue which everyone is aware of
Contacts menu will not open, only once after restart. You have to tap the menu (three dots) in the search box which only displays three options: Call history, New Contact & Settings. Menu button next to home button should bring up a number of other options including the import / export function.
Had an issue with clock displaying a message “clock has stopped working” when trying to open but seems to be resolved after clearing cache.
Other than that awesome work! stable and fast and significant improvement on battery life!
Wifi connection too slow.
Nova update the carbon Rom!! Please please pleaseeeee!
Do you think asking will help?
Android Andi has cracked it. SlimLP for s3 mini – slam dunk ! Genius ! Perfect ! Download ! Flash ! Sorted….. Do it!
Installed cm 12.1 .smooth installation with latest twrp.. I would like to point out flash light problem which at at times when tapped several times can cause full system freeze. Apart from that it is a good improvement from my old stock jellybea. Overall system speed and battery backup heavily improved.
in this last version I have problems with the CPU governor.
You can have the wpa_supplicand with support for WEP networks?
can you add USB OTG Features for cm12.1
like lastest cm11.
The boot lock screen with the logo of cyano
sim card invisible guide ๐
When i Switch on the Smartphone it needs about 5 minutes for be ready.
Is It a normal thing??
Warning: No file_contextsdetected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
….
Installiaton aborted.
Whats wrong?
Excellent work, phenomenal !! Congratulations to everyone, very grateful .
– If you do not operate the sim means you have a sim obsolete.
Also I have tried changing APN but without any solution.
I resolved by updating my sim from my service center telephone operator.
– Video green, okok keep calm.
ย ย ย download the app Camu and settings disabled “HD”
– Slow start, but in return you phone works beautifully than any other advanced ROM.
-Problem by connecting the phone to the car radio (USB connection) released for Android (kenwood kdc 164u).
-Problem connecting the phone to the PC, I can not select the “charge only”.
-Problem when the phone is off, no charging animation
-I need otg please.
– Wifii great, great gps, 3g excellent, excellent battery life.
But above all, excellent work from the staff Novafusion.
I hope when I say, Good continuation of work!
