[Galaxy S III Mini General] lujki1:
Carrier versions frequently have different specs from base models, mostly because of CDMA support. Even though that may not be the case here this seems to be a bit newer device just by looking at its code name that started to be used since release of S5 (SM-GXXX)

As for why its so hard to build CM for this device: there is absolutely zero support from Samsung for any update which would make it a bit easier devs to do it just because of some files that MAY be compatible (it's easier to build CM11 on a device that's already running KitKat). Then, there's the CPU. No sources were ever released. In other words any custom ROM with no sources would perform badly with most of sensors not working. And the devs would have to fix that by writing code themselves which is a huge pain in the *** and very very difficult. It requires a huge effort for a ROM that would never be stable enough, so that's why no dev has done it. And I know it just by seeing the same story with my S6 and Tab 4 7.0 that got a CM11 with no wifi, bluetooth or even a brightness slider... So... Yeah.

I'm not a dev so I can't really speak about building a real custom ROM, but I've got an idea. That's to build an ultra-light (and deodexed) ROM kinda like PRISM BAREBONE by AL_IRAQI or XtreStoLite for the S6.

Take out all the Samsung bloatware, replace it with Google apps (open gapps, stock package) and you wouldn't believe the difference. It was a huge improvement on my Tab 4 (took 4 secs to open settings app when multitasking, now 1)

I'm sorry I can't do more, but this is a step in the right direction I guess.

Just buy another device and forget about waiting for a CM port. I already did a couple of months ago and now I'm a proud Nexus user...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulRichter:
My rom has that feature the only problem is that battery becomes empty fast
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
There are some tweaks in build.prop that increases battery life. Using black background, greenify and some tweaks I can reach 4h of screen on time. Isn't bad, since in the stock I could do about half 2h

Greets
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lujki1:
While I used this phone, the battery problem was related to Android System and insane number of wakelocks. There were thousands of them... That was not present in earlier official firmwares for this device, and in my case in South East Europe, it happened since AOC1 firmware. All before that were OK, so if it's the same case with the ROM, try basing it on an earlier firmware.

So that should be fixable.

As for build.prop sure there are tweaks but I believe the main problem isn't there, but something in the OS itself causing that many wakelocks.

Sent from my SM-G920F
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulRichter:
I think editing build.prop can damage the phone

I found this app maybe it helps

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...cks&pcampaignid=APPU_1_QPr3Vr2WNIGQ6QTul7W4Bg

Also I looked in running apps and uninstalled or freezed them to gain more free ram and disabling radios which you dont use might works
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Lord_of_Death:
hey guys, im not sure but i think the phone needs to build up to become faster, when i was using my s3 mini as my main phone i had minimum lag, i dont remember anything wrong with it, and i had many things on it that worked normally but battery life was a prob.... however now after getting a new phone and reseting the s3 mini it has gotten very laggy and battery is either worse or better(when i restart the phone battery perce ntage increases....) and im having a prob with the root.....so yeah ......
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulRichter:
If I use my phone till it shuts down automatically and if I reboot it after a few minutes battery is increased without charging but drops very fast and shuts down again
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lujki1:
That's probably a minor bug in the counter. It was the same thing for me (also on every other Samsung device in my house: S3, S3 mini ve, S6 and an old Galaxy Gio, but not always, just happens once in a while)

Sent from my SM-G920F
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
On s3 do you tried some aosp ROM? If yes there was still the drop? Could be a problem of battery driver from kernel

Greets
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lujki1:
On S3 tried LiquidSmooth based on AOSP 5.0.2, but it was just a glitch where when you empty the battery, and the phone shows (close to) 0% it shuts down and you can turn it on with maybe 1%-2% and not long after booting it closes. And nope, I didn't really notice that on LiquidSmooth.

But on that ROM you couldn't charge the device while it's off and more bugs so I just flashed CM11 and waiting for stable 13 to come.

Sent from my SM-G920F
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
So is probably a problem of Samsung kernel. For s3 there is official cm13. do you tried it?

Greets
[Galaxy S III Mini General] lujki1:
Samsung is full of problems so no surprise there [emoji1]

Yes I know there is, but those are only nightlies and they can be very buggy. Had a bad experience with nightlies on LG Optimus G, that got bricked[emoji20]

So I'll only flash when a build with stable/snapshot status gets released :)

Bootloop at Philz

Hello Guys, there's another noob again ^^'

I got the same problem... Stucked in Bootloop at Philz Recovery + i'm not able to access download mode...

Solarplexus mentioned there to flash an original rom via Odin on my phone. But how can I receive any response in Odin, since i'm not able to get into downloadmode?

[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulRichter:
•Pull battery sim card and sd card

•Connect your phone with a pc trough an usb cable

•Meanwhile open odin on pc and prepare to flash stock rom

•Hold power + volume down + home button while doing this insert the battery

•Device should now be in download mode and can be flashed

Good Luck !

Can u tell me what we need to port custom ROM?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KAGE-008:
The device's compatible drivers. Marvell is just like Broadcom or MediaTek, they don't want to opensource them for some reason.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SabeCZ01:
So if we find compatible device and try to port ROM it will work?

We have recovery with no SE Linux (i dont know anything about that) so we can flash ported ROM or what?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Gabrius99:
We analysed the code that we have. Kernel works well, but Samsung used some particular optimisation since kernel lag a bit more than stock. CPU frequencies are messed up, there are also references for pxa1080 (another Marvell's soc) and over clock cause BSOD. For ROM, we can use, for a first boot, proprietary driver since we haven't another choice. This requires time and a bit of experience (I'm quite a noob). However some users could boot the ROM until bootanimation, then something crash causing bootloop. Have a ROM in this phone isn't impossible but it's hard and long. I think also never could reach the stability of official cm, but it can be done

[Galaxy S III Mini General] SabeCZ01:
Look at for example Samsung S5,there was ROM so fast,why?Because its more famous,i8200 is not that famous and there aren't a lot of developers.We need to cooperate together,share tips and files and i am sure that we will do it.Its not impossible to port ROM but we most work.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KAGE-008:
The well-known version of the GS5 uses Qualcomm's SD801 as its SoC. It's not about the popularity of a device, it's the availability of appropriate drivers to build CM or something similar.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SabeCZ01:
Yes its about popularity too,more developers=faster port
[Galaxy S III Mini General] mhwse:
you also can

replace the 8200 board with the i8190 (by the way I have 5 of these in the drawer), but that means giving up.

So the idea is to keep the 8200 Software up to date (even help develop code), ideally the cm12 or 5.1.1, as the hardware does what I need.

(Communication, navigation, make photos + ideally use NFC). Buying a cheap new one needs the equivalent of 45 minutes of work as a software developer in money .. but that is the easy way out.

I looked at it.

They are ROM from a Qualcomm phone, that someone tried to fuse with s3 mini build.prop

In effect updater scripts flash that ROM in partition that are wrong for our phone and they bricks everything. Better don't try that or very bad thing could happen
[Galaxy S III Mini General] SabeCZ01:
Can it help us?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] KAGE-008:
Most devices with Broadcom/older MT65xx SoCs suffered the same fate. I also know the original Galaxy Xcover had it even worse (still stuck on GB, and glad I don't have it). So my recommendation is to avoid everything that isn't Qualcomm-powered. Period.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] Koloses:
You guys might try porting Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (T210) kitkat. It has the same specs as i8200 and got official 4.4.2. Partition layout is different and it would probably require some work to boot on s3 mini ve. They had some CM11 development http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783617&page=110 but it's left for dead too already. You could build something out of it after modyfing sources though.

gave up too..bought J5..i dont think 8200 will have CM in near future.. and i think this because 8200 its not bought like 8190. 8200 will have a CM when a developer buy this phone for personal use..petitions doesnt matter at all..sign 1000, then need 1500 and so on. I was happy when i bought my 8200, previous was a GT I5500 with a lot of custom roms, even 4.4.4 stable daily use.. and thats why over time i got annoyed that for 8200 is no developing.

Broadcom was even worse. It took 20 months since its release to port a stable 4.x based CM for the S5830i/S5360. After having a horrible experience with the S5830i and this I8200, I excluded everything that isn't Qualcomm-powered from my upgrade options.

(Nexus 5 owner here)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] PaulRichter:
2 late for me to buy another device if I did know this would happen I would never buy this confusing device.

Therefore I had a galaxy y so I did 2 times the same mistake.

And redicioulus that it still doesnt have a custom rom because no 1 cares for it.

At least I could make it comfortable for me by modifying stock rom.

Conclusion:

NEVER BUY A BROADCOM/MARVEL device you will regret it. Qualcomm is best in my opinion.
