[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMailuhu:
I know this phone is quite new but i'm wondering if there are any custom firmwares (Cyanogen mod eg.) being developed for this model?

Or anyother custom firmware which has none of Samsung's Bloatware and better performance?

I have rooted and flashed CWM on my device and removed some of Samsungs Bloatware myself using Titanium Backup.

Some of the System functions (like Kies by Wifi) doesn't work propertly (since the app is removed). I don't want to flash back to original firmware and go through all the hussle again of rooting etc. so i was just wondering for a CF which doesn't have the (Kies by Wifi etc.) options listed in the "System Settings-Menu").

I have only deleted bloatware that doesn't hurt the system according to some other source.

I've deleted the following apps:

Update:

It seems that people do not post in the corresponding forums, but i've found some current development threads around CM10.1!

I'll be following it yet any other information is welcome.
