[Samsung Galaxy Mini] QGM:
Will be added overclocking to 1200MHz ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Arthur13:
our phone can be overclocked only up to 1156MHz....upper level will couse reboots
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] networmx34:
You will get blue screen and reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] QGM:
[MENTION=5115703]bleached[/MENTION] Can you add NTFS,exFat, ext2,ext3,ext4 and F2FS Support to kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
Today I will probably upload a new version, with stagefright patches applied.

Both jena and jenad.

I cannot test it as I don't have the phone, but it should work fine, as I didn't change anything else.

Edit: Build is up. Enjoy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sunanulh:
Can you reupload gapps to other hosting please?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nefescalanadam:
So i will test it, but do you work with new roms or sync Cm 10.1 sources ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Which one I sholud install for GT-S6500D? Jena or Jenad?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] midzan21:
S6500D - JenaD

S6500 (non D variant with NFC) - Jena

[MENTION=5115703]bleached[/MENTION] Hi! I couldn't wait for my 10 post to say thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lorn10:
At first a big thanks to bleached for his excellent work! :good:

Question, can I use any more recent ClockworkMod like v6.0.5.1 with this newest CM 10.1 release here? I want to try also midzan21's latest CM11 release, so I have to install a newer ClockworkMod build (which should fix that damn "internal mounting issue").

What's the exact install order? Is it necessary to unlock & root the phone first? Sometimes rooting is included while installing CWM. (This seems to be different from phone to phone.)

1) unlock the phone

2) root the phone

3) install CWM (v6.0.5.1)

4) install CM 10.1 or CM11

5) install the right GApps package
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
Rooting the device isn't necessary. You just need to install an older version of CWM in order to update to 6.0.5.1. Updating is done through CWM itself so you need to have some version installed. As for CM11, you should be able to install it on all versions of CWM after 6.0.4.7.

Exact steps are:

1) flash older CWM using odin

2) update CWM using CWM

3) install CM

4 install GAPPS
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lorn10:
Thanks meganukebmp for this detailed answer.

Ok, I understand. I should first install CWM v6.0.4.7 and then update it to CWM v6.0.5.1. So, it is not a good idea to install v6.0.5.1 directly. (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-mini/mini-2-dev/cwm-6-0-5-1-galaxy-mini-2-s6500-t3201861)

Well, if you say that CM11 has bad performance, CM10.1 works with CWM v6.0.4.7, right? So, I only need CWM v6.0.5.1 when I want to try CM11...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
Yes that is correct. CM11 has pretty bad in-app performance. Apps that I used on CM10.1 worked very badly on CM11. That is if you just want to make calls on it, set up alarms and that normal user stuff go for it. But if you are looking for a reliable, stable, good on performance ROM its the CM10.1 07/07 build. The thing is very well made, and if you are being put off by the looks you might want to check out these:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steel89ita.android44

With them and maybe some Xposed modules you can make it look and behave just like KitKat while keeping the same performance.

PM me if you have any problems or questions.

EDIT: Whait sorry. Didn't know that CWM existed as an ODIN package. If it is an ODIN package you have no problems installing it on any ROM at any time. Go for it since it seems to fix the internal partition bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lorn10:
I hope that's my last question before I start. ;) Well, - I cannot use ODIN because all these CWM files here are

zip files

. Odin needs a

tar package

if I remember me correctly. (That was the case when I updated my Galaxy Tab P1000.)

Therefore I need to install this CWM v6.0.5.1

from stock ROM recovery

, - right? I think there is an option there like "install from zip" or so.

And yes, sorry for this off-topic post. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
Check if the tar or md5 file is in the zip. If not you will need to install the zip through CWM. Sadly CWM 6.0.4.5 is hosted at goo.im and the link is dead. I will try to dig it up if I have it on my HD, but most likely not. Don't do anything yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lorn10:
Many thanks for your efforts meganukebmp! :good:

Well, I have done it :), latest CM 10.1 07/07 build really runs PERFECTLY with CWM v6.0.5.1 on my S6500! Many thanks again to bleached for this great work on CM10.1 and to simokb1996 for CWM v6.0.5.1.

It is as you said meganukebmp, great performance, stable, NFC enabled, 200% better then original stock 2.3.6 ROM! :D

My steps were:

0) Unlock the phone (yes not needed, but after CM install you cannot make this any longer)

1) flash CWM v6.0.3.3-b2 with ODIN

2) disable verification check in CWM v6.0.3.3-b2 and install (upgrade to) CWM v6.0.5.1

3) clear old stuff with "wipe data/factory reset"

4) Install latest CM 10.1 07/07 build and the corresponding GApps (like in my case this was from external micro SD card sdcard1)

The CWM install and update process is currently really "gorky" (suboptimal). Will post these informations at the other thread...

Only problem was that at first boot up, Google+ was crashing. So I make a reinstall of the GApps package in CWM and since then everything works fine.

Unfortunately my first CM11 M12 install attempt has ended shorty at the beginning of the installation. This resulted in a strange endless boot loop. :mad: Well, was able to enter CWM v6.0.5.1, wipe again everything out and then I changed quickly to this CM 10.1 build here. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
Glad to hear that :)

As I said CM 10.1 is the only ROM that has good performance for this device, other than stock ROM modifications. But who wants to stay on 2.3.7 anyways? 4.2.2 is the best this device can handle before starting to struggle. About G+, honestly I always just remove it from /system/app and reboot. I never use that app anyways.

A few tips that have made my usage of the device more enjoyable:

1. Youtube videos run better through the browser. The app seems to cause framerate lag.

2. Very large html5 gif files don't load in browser.

3. While in call the person on the other side can't hear you if you are using a headset. Doesnt seem to find the mic.

4. Clear cache from storage>cached files>yes. Lots of cache builds in a week of heavy usage. Really depends on the user and his apps though.

Anyways, have fun testing mods around. Might want to check out Xposed.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] khal_nayak:
i would like to flash this but need some info, do i need to repartition if coming from the stock oem firmware, is battery life same or any better than the stock firmware coz i dont want it to go worse and lastly the phone not going in sleep when bluetooth on, is this fixable and does the stock rom also suffer this?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] malimba1:
Good job guys, everything works well :)

Updated: I've met the problem with battery. It's discharging 2 times faster than with other system (CM 10.1 based) so I think that there is some problem in this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lorn10:
Hi malimba1,

Well, you have to

disable

Bluetooth / NFC and the phone will run longer then with stock ROM. I only enable these features when I really need them. And for me that's not really often. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
Hi guys, I'm new in Xda forum. I have a question. Is this the last STABLE Cyanogenmod available? (I know that there is the 11 but it still has too many bugs). Do you suggest me this mod for daily use?

Thank You so much
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] midzan21:
This is most stable custom ROM based on Android 4.x versions of OS... If you really want to be on fully stable OS, stay on stock ROM (I know it is based on 2.3 Gingerbread, but it still works with web based apps for Facebook and Gmail)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Barojax:
daily use

I have tested some many roms and I think the best for daily use (in my opinion) is Void Rom based on cyanogen 7.2, roms based on 10 usually goes too slow cause device hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
I tried this rom and I found it very stable and fast. In my opinion this rom is better than stock. Thank You for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lorn10:
I agree, - bleached's CM 10.1 Improved 07/07 build is at the moment the best CyanogenMod version for the Galaxy Mini II phone. :good:

However, - regarding CM11, it seems that there is arising finally a stable & quite fast version developed by simokb1996. Ok, this is true only for S6500 (with NFC) Galaxy Mini II users.

One bad thing is currently the weak web browsing performance., - this issue affects also all other CM11 build's. However, that problem is caused by Google's switch in KitKat 4.4 to the Chromium based WebView rendering engine. On low performance devices, like the Galaxy Mini II, that more recent rendering engine seems to be too "heavy". As a consequence of this, the developer simokb1996 has announced that he will try to make a CM11 build which contains former WebKit based WebView rendering engine. That one is far less resource hungry and should run the same or equal like WebView in bleached's CM 10.1 build.

Will test simokb1996's CM11 build the next weeks... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] qubit:
Almost everything went well with the installation, battery life is very g00d for me (nfc version) But I did read the bold and coloured on page1, did a reboot after first setup!

The 'only' problem I have is with the sd card. When transferring files from pc/phone to sd card, it takes to long, and then files appear not only on sd card but also i see them in the recycle bin of pc?

I get around it when torrenting to download to the phone's memory instead of sd card, but i would like to fix this.

I did make the mistake by installing CWM 6.0.5.1 instead of flashing it,

And i did not format the sd card before installing, dont know if any got to do with the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
When transfering via USB don't use MTP. The standard mass storage protocol works best.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] qubit:
kud0s, that fixed the problem.. Thanks alot, didn't know about that option.

Though i wondered why the pop-up screen didn't show up when connecting to the pc..

For anyone doubting to install this build, don't doubt it, it's really a good ROM..

Big and many thanks to all involveD
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Regina Rainbow:
Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for all your very useful posts concerning the adventures of flashing the Galaxy Mini 2. Seems like we started to tinker with our Devices around the same time, having about the same problems (especially but not only fighting with cwm and odin). Documenting your experiences in this and some of the other xda threads was extremely helpful for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lorn10:
Hi there Regina Rainbow. :)

Great that these steps described here has helped you. Yes, it seems that we started to customize our Galaxy Mini 2 around the same time. ;)

Thanks to simokb1996 installing CM10.1 or CM11 is now even easier!! It is now possible to flash newest CWM 6.0.5.1

directly

with Odin. So only three needed steps remain.

0) Unlock the phone (not really needed, but after CM install you cannot make this any longer)

1) flash CWM-6.0.5.1-vX-jena

directly

with ODIN

2) clear old stuff with "wipe data/factory reset"

3) install latest CM10.1 or CM11 build and the corresponding GApps (from external micro SD card sdcard1)

Anyone know a tweak to calibrate the touchscreen of the samsung galaxy mini?

I have replaced the touchscreen of the phone but now it's not accurate
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Heiri78:
...my Galaxy mini II is usable again; with now more than enough functions and compatible apps (for a 3,27" screen).

Thanks for the Mod!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chorknabe1:
I had to replace broken touchscreen or better display glas (digitizer) of my S2mini twice. And needed no calibration. Maybe it's new but broken? You could ask the vendor for sending a new one. [emoji56]
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] thesepix:
thanks for creating this rom! i`ve used it before but reflashed my device yesterday because i wanted to get rid of gapps again.

now i`m encountering a weird bug where the cLock widget doesn`t recognize my location. neither automatically nor manually.

the error in the system settings /clock widget when i try to enter my location manually is "can`t retrieve location".

it`s not a big hassle though i`m wondering if anyone else stumbled across this and maybe found a solution?

as said i`ve used this rom before and never encountered this problem.

thx!

Battery load percentage

Hi,

This is a great version for my phone. Battery life is fine.

One question, while charging the phone I can only see a green battery, is there a way to view the load with a percentage on the screen?

Gr wim
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xEmre66:
Go ahead to the Settings and press System in the UI Interface menu (under WLAN, Bluetooth, Mobile Data etc.). There you need to press Status bar and then you'll see battery percentage. Press it and select "next to icon".

Auto Start when charger is plugged in

Hi, friends. I need my S6500 to boot when the charger is plugged in. In this cm-10.1-20130707-UNOFFICIAL-jena version made by TheWhisp (It's a bit old, it did not work tethering and in later versions the playlpm file disappears) I could modify this playlpm file that is in /system/bin, this way:

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/bin/reboot

And then, when the charger was plugged in, the phone power on itself. In this version cm-10.1-20150902-UNOFFICIAL-jena.zip (by bleached), the playlpm file exists. I made the same modification in this file but, however, the phone does not turn on. Could someone tell me how to get it ?.

Thanks, greetings to all... and sorry for my bad english, isn't my native language.

P.S. I have unpacked the boot.img, I have made some changes in several .rc files and I have flashed again, but without luck.

The phone does not start when I plug the charger

No, you can't get it if the phone is powered off. [MENTION=7975472]wpee[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

GPS is working but it will not be fully stable.

Because of....

1. low amount of RAM,

2. Single core 800Mhz Processor (I know it's overclockable but it'll not help.)

3. The device has a small screen (some things will not fit in).

And also, S6500 is jena. S6500D (non-NFC) is jenad.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] akatarmo:
I am just using this old model as an anti-theft system. The phone is hidden and equipped with a cheap SIM. Every x time, it transmits (using Tasker) the car's GPS position to a .gpx file on a server in the cloud. With the Google Maps API. I can see exactly where my car is and also I can do a route tracking.

The S6500D does the job perfectly. Yes, the position of the GPS is very accurate and the system, in general, works fluidly for the purpose I have explained before. But, as it says [MENTION=7429196]xEmre66[/MENTION], maybe it is not very powerful to use with GPS navigation software.

Okay, but when the phone is powered off and I plug in the charger, then I can see a battery animation. This animation was before the /system/bin/playlpm file. So... where is that file now and what is it called?

Aaaaand here comes the problem :P With bluedroid, when bluetooth is active, deep sleep does not work. This was an issue in earlier builds of cm10.1. [MENTION=4148720]TheWhisp[/MENTION], did you ever find a fix for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] portagira:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
Yeah but the fact that it does not happen on other apps (like hangouts) probably makes it a whatsapp issue..

Anyway, I will give it a look when I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
[MENTION=5330333]portagira[/MENTION] by the way, do notification sounds for WhatsApp work in original 07/07 build? And what about latest cm10.1 build by theWhisp? Could you test and give me some feedback?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] portagira:
I have white screen bug. So i can't test whatsapp in latest builds, sorry!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
Could you at least test in 07/07 build? You shouldn't have whitescreen problems there..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] portagira:
I Can't because i've microsd trouble. My device doesnt recognize it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
Well then I don't know. You have a problem that I haven't confirmed yet, you ask me to fix it, and yet you don't seem willing to help at least with testing :/

Device should boot and work even without microsd!

Also, did you try the latest build? Or you are still saying about old builds?

And did you ever try a full wipe (/data /cache /system) and then flash rom to see if it works then? You could backup any data you might want to keep before doing wipe..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bwn:
Someday there was a problem with whatsapp notifications in all CM roms and it was CM bug (AFAIK).

Workaround for that was to make sound profile for whatsapp in Android system settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] portagira:
[MENTION=5115703]bleached[/MENTION], Maybe you haven't understand what i wanted to tell. I cannot try because i should make nandroid backup from recovery on micro SD, before any testing. But my phone doesnt recognize microsd band i couldnt try D:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
Your phone does not recognize neither internal nor external sdcard? Because you can do backup to either internal or external sdcard..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] portagira:
cwm 6.4.5 Doesnt recognize internal and external sd
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
There are other versions of cwm that recognize internal just fine, but anyway, I won't insist.

As someone stated above, it seems whatsapp handles notification sounds differently, so it is basically their problem. I'll try to find more info, and when you are available for testing tell me..
