RELEASE for S3 Mini
CyanogenMod 12.1
New stable release (20160102) of CM12.1 for S3 Mini is available!
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.
Changelog:
- CM sources updated to latest version
- resolved small issues with exfat stability (last release bug)
- toolchain update (also for kernel build)
- small cleanup of device source tree
- Odin package update
Features
- RIL (phone/SMS/3G)
- audio (both speakers/headphones/microphone)
- Wi-fi
- Bluetooth 4.0 with LE support A2DP
- GPS/Glonass/A-GPS
- sensors
- compass
- camera (taking photos and videos)
- video playing
- 2D/3D HW Acceleration
- all native tethers (Wifi/BT/USB)
- Google Play
- CPU sleep mode
- MTP
- ADB
- no tearing
- tripple buffering
- external storage
- f2fs filesystem support
- offline charging
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.

Hey Maclaw & Team!

Cheers, Flo
Happy new year NovaFusion team! Looking forward to next updates and i am glad that you continue your work and comunity is still alive! Thanks 🙂
Thank you for a new release! Where Čan I find what include CM update? Is it same as official CM S3 release?
Happy 2016 NovaFusion and thx for your work.
Hello We will recover when the Turkish mobile 3G data users as cm12.1 also have problems please?
Does the system partition supports f2fs? Evertime I reformatted the partition to f2fs and apply the build it resumes to ext4.
Yep, f2fs system resumes to ext4. Install-script?
I have:
system – ext4, 99% times read-access. f2fs not need – only read-access, flash not degraded.
cache – f2fs, many reads, many writes, f2fs very need.
data – f2fs, many reads, many writes, f2fs very need.
Not bug – optimization.
Only system resumes to ext4, cahe and data – no resumes, all ok.
System – formatted ONLY ext4, cache and data – all FS, no resumes.
Bugs:
1. low voice during the interview
2. loss of voice during the interview with the speaker change Skype
3. video taken by stock camera app is green (you know)
Thx 🙂
Happy New Year and keep up
Thanks Nova!
Oh look, not dead afterall.
Thanks for the continued support NovaFusion! And happy New Year!
Thanks for the continued support NovaFusion and for all your work !
Hey, happy new year and thanks a lot for your work.
Though I want to report some issues. I installed the December release on my phone. Every time I try to encrypt it, it gets soft bricked and I have to flash it again. Streaming the screen to my chromecast, does not work. And everytime I try to play Videos in Firefox the Browser crashes. I can tell if the last two issues are related to the distribution.
cheers
Sedesc
encrytpion = software problem
chromecast = hardware may not be good enough or hardware not supported
videos in firefox = maybe a firefox problem due to new software on old hardware
[…] via NovaFusion – Release: CyanogenMod 12.1 (S3 Mini). […]
HNY and many thanks. If release 20151204 is already installed, will the upgrades being installed by CM12.1 itself using the update feature?
no.

Please fix notifications light!!
It lag when scrolling :/ Some of the latest roms have that problem.
Hi there, it’s great to use this ROM, amazing work.. Glad to see someone standing behind this little devices back..
I recently installed this ROM but I can’t get root access here, I don’t know what to do, if someone can guide me here.. If there is anything I can do to have root in my device at this version ..
hello!
Please, how do I upgrade from the last version (20151204)?
Do I need to follow the tutorial steps? I’ve used that tutorial (for Linux) to install on my phone.
Thx
Unfortunately I am part of the 2 % who had problems with mobile data . I tried to add new APN manually , but failed. Any idea what to do?
camila, I solved the problem adding APN manually and changing ‘APN protocol’ from IPv4/IPv6 to only IPv4. Only after that, mobile data works. Have a try
Hello Novafusion,
thanks a lot for your awesome job.
I can’t find a way to send files over wifi-direct, is that me or wifi-direct is unsupported (I can’t understand why I have a very simple menu under wifi > advanced but I can’t do anything on that)
Thanks a lot
How to fix the problem, always same problem ” video taken by stock camera app is green ” when you resolve this issue.
I’m not installing Facebook application. Why?
I install fb without problems
How to fix the problem, always same problem ” video taken by stock camera app is green ” when you resolve this issue.
hard to resolve as android lollipop removed code to run the video recording driver – just a guess
got a feeling that recording driver only used dalvik runtime not art runtime
and samsung possibly did not release the code for video recording
if they did it would be easier to make it work with art runtime
vivavideo and camu use their own video recording drivers – that is why they are not hd
You must download old facebook release to install. Play store install is not working. And you must not update it.
Hangi versiyon acaba? Link falan var mıdır?
Haci sadece google’a facebook eski surum indir diye yaz. Istedigin yerden indir. Simdiden soyleyeyim, yeni sürüm yuklenmio
Teşekkürler…
I install fb from google play, it’s working, you must wait some time for download and install
I waited during 20mins. And then it said that app could not be installed. Double times. So it seems some of users have a problem about fb installing from google play.
My S3 mini back and option buttons don’t work, tried cyanogen and carbon 🙁 any help is very apreciated!
I have exactly the same problem. Menu and back don’t work. Tried cm11, it was the same.
I’m not installing Facebook application. Why?
First of all: Thanks, Novafusion team.
Looking at the Changelog/Features/Issues list
it may be sometimes not clear if this is a stable CM12.1 ROM.
Coming from Novafuation CM11 and now installing this 20160102
release of CM12 I can say: It is a very usable ROM.
I don’t miss any functionality – yet (maybe need some
longer testing phase).
It works and has a good battery life. It runs as quickly as
CM11 on the same device – not slower at all. I like this ROM!
Thanks again.
Me too.
Me too but one thing I miss is the DSP Manager.
Thank You
DSP sucks anyway, this is way better: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Thank you Novafusion Team.
Problems are,
1.I can’t install FaceBook
2.My phone switch off during charging above 90%+
We are also waiting for Marshmallow updation from Novafusion 🙂
By any chance did you buy a new battery?I am having the same issue and it started when I put the new battery. I am using a 2500 mAh.
I cant seem to install using recovery. Help?
Drain fast battery Not charging @.@
THANKK
thanks for your work, NovaFusion!!! I installed cm 12.1 20150514 from recovrymode(twrp) on my s3 mini and it works fine expt file sharing with WiFi on my smart TV.so now I want to update to cm12.1 2160102
how can i update the new release? and gapps must be installed again? and may installed programe will be removed or not??? thx
I installed CM11 (to test otg) and the phone was always rebooting randomly. Sometimes it was rebooting endlessly and I could not use my phone anymore… i thought it was due to CM11 or f2fs (i also followed this tutorial) Now i installed CM12 (lastest version) and it still happens, sometimes the phone is OK for a few days, some days i cannot use it because it keeps rebooting (even before the pin code is asked).
I wiped everything, re-upload lastest CM12, i only installed GoogleApps micro, to be sure that it was not an app causing the problem… but i took a picture using camera, the phone rebooted and so on..
What do you think i could do ? (i’ll try to find my 1year old CM12 i was using before testing CM11…) but i guess lasest version should be better, no ?
Thanks Novafusion!, i hope the video recording issue fix soon…
i do this
there is problems between switching mobile data and wireless conexions
or maybe it’s the wireless conexion but the wireless option is not actived
I can use only mobile data
Please fix the stage fright issues. Thanks!
Also will OTG be available in the future.
pretty sure stage fright was already fixed by cyanogen
nova-fusion uses cyanogen sources
so yeah stage-fright is already fixed
vivavideo app work well for video taken
Does this release support NFC?
Thank you Novafusion Team.
Work perfect for me,so far the only problem is the camera, I hope that you include OTG in the future,
Thank you
could you please make it perfect just adding STK.apk for Simcard tool kit and Radio FM fuction? Its all this rom need to be perfect, pleeeeeease!
low voice during the intervie.
Please find solution 🙁
Is encryption supported?
I’ve tried multiple times to ‘encrypt phone’ from the security menu, but all it does is briefly show the ‘encrypto-droid picture’ and to reboot.
I have formatted /data and /cache with f2fs, could this be causing problems?
Are there any log files that might help in finding out what is happening?
Hello,
I am having a problem. I am trying to install (flash?) using TWRP. I have done a factory wipe and I then get this error after a couple of minutes E:Error executing updater binary in zip.
I would like to say that I am thankful for your contributions!
And somehow, my phone keeps rebooting that it’s got to the point where it reboots every minute when I use it. Is it an issue from Cyanogen? I only have few apps installed and I don’t have the xposed installed as well.
can you tell if you find a solution for this ? i have the exact same problem…
