Hi everyone,

I've been using the CM11 rom for a few weeks now and it's awesome, so far I really love it!

However, I have this issue ever since I installed it: when I plug the phone in to charge it, if the phone is turned off, the screen always shows the "loading" icon, and never displays the battery icon. Also, it keeps the screen on.

Is this a known issue? Does anyone experience this as well?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotchapt:
These are the problems I have with the CM11 ROM:

Clock freeze - Already tried all the fixes, like freezing clock applications. Alarm now get gets delayed like 5 minutes, after I applied the fixes...

WiFi saved - Can't connect to new Wireless Networks, says 'Saved'...

SMS - When I access a received SMS from notification, it displays the first message of the conversation with that person. It's really annoying having to scroll all the way down when you have over 1000 sms with that person.

- Also, the black theme in SMS doesn't do a thing, it keeps the white theme...

Play Store - It doesn't want to download new apps, says I'm out of space when I'm not... Already tried those clear app/data cache and it's still the same...

I'm getting annoyed with all these bugs :/

I always clear cache and dalvik when I update the ROM...

Some considerations and questions

I updated my cellphone yesterday from Novafusion golden 20140519 (lol) to 20141212, but I've been struggling with some issues or changes.

1) Novafusion TWRP (2.8) has a bug that has been fixed already. As written in TWRP 2.8.1 release notes at their website (damn 10 post thing!),

that was a surprise and gave me some trouble. Can't it be updated?

2) Was BLN removed?

3) I can't get my 32GB SD (formatted on install from ext4 to f2fs) to save things. I tried to create a folder, but it said that it was mounted read only.

4) Awesome battery life! Major time in deep sleep =)

Thanks for now!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulochf:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
You can use andi's twrp too here.

Download bln app from store, then uncheck activate bln option, then go to system settings buttons-backlight & uncheck illuminate buttons

Anyway you need a clean install, cause the difference between builds is big & many things are changed &/or updated

P.S. my 32 SD card works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulochf:
Yeah, I know I could use it. My point is to say it to some Novafusion staff for their info.

Is this for remove or active BLN? I asked because I haven't seen any new notification lighting yet. Actually, I would like to activate it, but I'll check this app you said.

And that's what I did. Twice.

Actually, after the 2nd, I was able to write on SD, except for Spotify offline sync, which falsely says "offline syncing has stopped as there's no space left on this device".

Is there any chance that f2fs could cause this error?

And thanks for the reply!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
1-Nova already know that a long time ago.

2-Is for completely remove the backlight buttons.

3-Weird, I don't know, try ext4 instead.

I'm using cm11 with system/data/cache as f2fs & everything works great.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulochf:
Great! =D

And the SD? ext4?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
Mine 32gb sd card works great as I told before. Try other sd card, on ext4 & f2fs.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulochf:
Just tried. Formatted the SD to ext4 and reinstalled Spotify, and it worked.

I also had to disable PrivacyGuard for it, which seems to block SD access somehow.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulochf:
Ok, I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I was wrong about PrivacyGuard. Actually, my SD card is being mounted as read at boot time, so anything trying to access it crashes, like Spotify.

Tried to format again in TWRP, changing mounting options, but didn't work.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
Try with other sd card.

P.S. btw, you have 10 posts, so now you can post your issue on cm11 thread, perhaps someone can help, since that thread has more visibility:)

com.google.process.gapps has stopped

Well, I installed the lastest and stable CM 11 with the default settings in the installer. Ofc, I made a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache before. Just right after the phone restarted and entered my PIN, I got an error message.

I just clicked "ok" but after the 10th case of popping up of this window, I googled it and find a solution on the official CM wikipedia. Downloaded the proper 4.4KitKat Google Apps zip file and deleted cache just as it was written in the description. I stared to install the .zip file and in the very end the CMW Recovery said that: Installation Aborted. No matter how or how many times I tried always said the same then I gave up. When I started the phone, it seemed that the Google Apps were on my device and I had no problem until now I didn't see that message ("com.google.process.gapps has stopped") But... I'm still worried. What if something went wrong? I'm sure that Installation Aborted text meant something in the Recovery mode and I can't think everything else since accident. Do you have any advice to make sure Google Apps are installed for sure and safely?

The main battery drainers are Google play services and Google search, best way to save battery with this app is to set location, wake up and keep awake to "denied" so this apps will be almost inactive.

Hi, I'm not really sure where to ask this but are there any stable, working custom ROMs for the S3 mini? I've tried Maclaw's CM 11.0 but the clock freeze issue is a deal breaker, so I went back to 10.2. However in this version the GPS seems to be REALLY slow at getting coordinates, and it has sound issues (some ringtones won't play, alarm doesn't play). Issues resolve after a reboot.

In any case, for my purposes I just need a ROM that doesn't cause my phone to reboot randomly and has all the basic functionality working. Does something like that exist or do I have to go back to the stock ROM?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauam:
I hope you're not asking which is the best rom, because it is not allowed on xda. Regarding cm11 I don't have any issue with it. For the alarm you need to uncheck automatic date & time & time zone, then the alarm don't freeze, gps is working fine for me too & of course I don't have a reboot nor any type of random reboots, at all. So, as you can see I have a totally different behavior with the same rom as you. BTW, cm11 it's still a baby, so you need to be patient until it is fully stable. Happy new year!
