[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] FunkyBlues:
I am using the 23.07 release and I can report that battery life is EXCELLENT ( I am getting 3-4h+ screen on time), performance is also very good, for me even better than cm 11. The bugs that i found are:

-when someone gives me a call, screen is not responsive so I must use the lock button to lock and unlock the screen so i can answer the call. This does not happen all time, it happens like 80% of received calls.

-after you answer a call there is a 1 or 2 second period where the caller cannot hear me.

-Reboots happen to me only when i have too many tabs on Chrome opened, it makes me think its some kind of RAM or CPU problem for this.

-Video recording does not work.

-I notice that the phone heats more than it was heating while i was using CM11

-flashlight has delay with turning on

Long story short, as a user that mostly wants good battery life and performance when its needed and also not wanting to experiment with other releases because i need my phone to function when the opportunity rises, it is a very reliable build and i recommend this to other users that want the same as I do.

By the way, the alarm clock didn't ring this morning and I almost missed my exam. It's the first time that this happens. Does anyone have this problem?

[MENTION=5655507]New Maclaw Xda[/MENTION] Can you somehow change the description of the releases so we can use a release that is really tested and stable and not failing. Imagine a situation like this: Someone finds out about your ROM and he really needs a really functioning release, so how would he really pick it when all of your releases are the same with stable description, even the milestone release was not working great and had some things missing . Maybe you add something like CM does to their releases with snapshot and nightly releases or just put releases into beta before publishing them as stable? Or just make poll about every release where we could give short feedback. This way you would save us a great amount of time and sweat, because now I can only find a stable release either by trying them out all by myself or getting lucky with someone that wrote here on forums. I am sorry but I simply cannot afford to risk with flashing every single release because i really need my phone to function as it should and big props to people who test and write down here. I hope that you can organize the releases in the future.

Also note that this is just my opinion and I hope this topic will be discussed a bit more.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Almost every release is tested, don't make a big story because offline charging is not working. It's not critical bug (it still charging with circle on screen or in recovery mode) and remember that I've added notice that it have to be tested.

Regards
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] FunkyBlues:
But i did not mention offline charging in my post.. please read carefully. I just wanted to give my opinion on certain things that I think would improve the overall experience. Can you also please tell us about your opinion on my suggestions.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Dude, there is no way to make it in way you mentioned. I have private things, work and etc. It is not commercial project with huge budget, just Android development for legacy phone. I am doing my best but it's not possible to keep it always issues-free. Sometimes some releases are not tested in every situation, I don't have 10 hours to test every feature everytime. That's why it's custom ROM, with community which makes it better.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Maltonator:
I reverted back to 23/7 because 15/8 release had a problem with some apps to run well.

But 23/7 is not able to run the SMS app. I couldn't receive any SMS and also I couldn't open the app...

I am just saying this for people who are looking for an almost stable release.

BTW: now I am on 18/8 release.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
This isn't necessarily a NovaFusion ROM bug but an S3 Mini bug. My partner has the I8190N variant of S3 Mini and she had this exact problem with the stock ROM as well. I'd hoped that using a custom ROM would make it go away but it didn't. So I guess the only conclusion to draw here is that it's a 'feature' of some S3 Mini phones.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Maltonator:
Latest release (18.08) is running good so far. No reboot, now dialer crash and excellent battery life. Aaand it's running very smooth with no lags. I couldn't test offline charging for now...

I performed a dirty install and wiped cache and dalvik.

Edit: offline charging isn't working...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tokiorush:
18/8 Work fine and stable. Sometimes got disconnect wifi and low signal wifi router is close to me. But work fine with all apps except video recorder ( we know all about that )

Well Done. Clock solved problem on that version 20150815 had this issue and clock/alarm app stopped.

But only saw that on 20150815 my wifi no disconnect never and signal was excelent. On 20150818 had this issue.

From my point of view great ROM and Stability. Phone never restart, 1 day using the last rom .

Hi guys,

Don't know if most people know, but if you want an overclocked kernel & with a lot more stuff, you can play with F_kernel, it also has Uber toolchains now. Have fun.

P.S. don't ask me about UberTC please, just read what it is. Thanks a lot to [MENTION=5011036]New Macław[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5384881]Fred6681[/MENTION], you guys are amazing:)

Well said

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] FunkyBlues:
You totally missed the point of my text. I have a feeling that you think I flame you in some way but it really is not it, I just want to make a suggestion to improve the experience for users like me and you reply at other topic which I did not mention anywhere. I really appriciate what you are doing for our device. I did NOT request you to test builds for 10 hours or whatever, i just asked you if you could organize and note the releases better. I really do not understand how can every single release be noted "stable" just when you release it and when it's not tested that it is really stable. My logic is if the release has not been tested, it should be something like beta or some other similar term. I will quote myself again because i got the impression that you did not read what i wrote.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Dude, I really would like to do it but I've answered for this idea in my last post. It is not possible. I see build released as stable as stable. That's it.

Dude. I work on android for more than 4 years. I never seen as active development as in here in my whole Android life. I was even more active, true, but now I am older, I have more responsibilities, I have girlfriend, I have work. I cannot spend enough time to know that something was working in last release and now, doing to changes in Android, without my fault, doesn't work well anymore. If you want to be sure that you will install really stable build, there is only one way - wait before someone else will report that everything is good.

If you think I still don't get your point, please email me - maclaw@maclaw.pl - it's not place for this.

Regards
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] FunkyBlues:
But your answers do not really make sense to me. How can it be so hard to just state that a release should be tested if its stable than just writing right away that it is stable without it being really tested. Correct me if I am wrong, I never said I am right but I think this is a very easy thing to do. All I want(and I think many users) is transparency between releases, so lets just say it is a really important week for someone and he really needs his phone and it is that urgent that he does not have time to test all 5 previous releases or scroll through pages of this thread, instead he could come to your thread/website and just see which release really works like it should. The title "stable" or "milestone" you put to your releases can be sometimes very misleading. The community will do these things like it did these years with testing and reporting here so you just need to change a small thing in your work which can be a huge plus to us.

Here is how things could work. You probably read what users post here on this thread so let's just say you released a build today and you name it 19.08.2015-beta. Few days pass and people write down their issues with the build here. You make a conclusion(or someone else experienced like [MENTION=3563392]mauam[/MENTION]) if the release is good and you just change the status of the build to 19.08.2015-stable. In my opinion this could take few minutes per day. You can create on novafusion.pl/downloads a section that has these stable releases so it is easier to find them. If you really want to help us out in my opinion this is very doable and easy.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
I DO test releases. I do read your posts. I do understand them. But you don't get idea about CUSTOM ROMs maintained by one guy and you don't get idea of community who test releases and giving feedback here.

Please, if you still want to debate about it, I am open, but do not use development thread for it. You know my mail.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Nixen241:
In polish language we have a beautiful sentence for that: s**tstorm :D. That's when two guys are arguing about something not very important. Mac's relases are stable, but don't forget that they're nightlies. Nightly relase won't be stable at 100% ;). You can phone someone, send message, use gaaps so phone is doing what's it suposed to.

18/08 release goes very good thanks for ur hard work
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
My partner just informed me that she has a big issue with the dialer concerning the latest ROM in her I8190N. It works if she calls someone but if someone calls her, the dialer either crashes after 1-2 seconds (call ends) or she might not even get the call at all. Sometimes it works but just sometimes. The current ROM has otherwise been awesome work from NovaFusion but the dialer issue is extremely serious. Oh, and in case you were wondering, I started fresh with NovaFusion's CM12.1 ROMs (wiped everything before the first flash), have used the latest AndroidAndi's TWRP-recovery and have always wiped dalvik/cache after flashing).

I think I'm going to flash the 0723 ROM back to her phone and wait until Maclaw fixes the dialer crash issue.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] b_henry:
I am still on 23/7 too. Hopefully a perfectly stable new build will come soon ;)

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tokiorush:
2 day with last rom 18/8 on i8190L no problems (maybe dif on hardware on versions i8190N?)

Dialer work fine on my phone. What is the problem you got ? cut call? o just take off the call when your dial? i was talking like 30 mins with mi gf and no problem.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
Well the dialer crash issue did not occur on my partner's I8190N when using the stock ROM or NovaFusion's 23/7 ROM so it's really these last two NovaFusion ROMs which made the issue appear. Again, calling someone works perfectly, but answering doesn't. The I8190N does have an issue that might be connected to the hardware: when a call in answered, it takes 1-2 seconds before the caller can be heard.

Hopefully we'll see a NovaFusion ROM that has the smoothness of the latest ROM with the stability of the 23/7 ROM.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] tokiorush:
My phone works fine, with the last rom, answering not problem. Try numerous times to check it, but no delay on dialer.

Obvius i got the problem of wifi inestability but don't know why. 15/8 ROM wifi was fine.

I habe serious performance issues with 07/23 build.

Something is consumimg lots of cpu time.

Dialer doesnt wake up the device when in sleep mode.

Pressing the home button brings up lock screen with only a small notification "invomming call from ..."

Facebook FCs when a Video preview is played in the news.

Charging in sleep mode is too slow. Using a high power wallcharger and a good cable takes more than 2,5 hours from ~20%.

I apreciate your work but Please dont dismiss stability in trade for features.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] garthybarthy:
I'm running the GT-I8190N version, did have problems with dialer fc on release before last but now that's fixed no issues. I do have the 2-3 second call answer delay but sounds like that will not be fixed as device variant dependant. The low call volume is finally fixed too.

Not a lot wrong now with this rom as YouTube works also.

Well done Maclaw!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Maltonator:
Try out the latest one. For me all versions are fast and smooth but this one should give every user a good performance.

And you can try to install NitroX in addition to that which help to improve the performance too.

Hi guys, I can't manage to get Xposed working in any way.

I was on Maclaw's CM11, did full wipe before flashing 12.1. Any time I flash the xposed .zip in twrp I got stock in boot animation...any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] meduza:
...I guess, xposed is just bugy with LP....

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Folgore89:

USB Mass Storage Support + Extra

Hi Maclaw,

Can you add the UMS (or USB Mass Storage) to your ROM (CM12 or/and CM11) or to TWRP recovery?

And an option to disable Nuplayer?

The tutorial for Dolby Atmos Mod says that I need to disable this option.Instead there's only an option to change it to Awesome Player.

Possibly this is causing FC (Force Close) when I try to open the app.

Thanks again.

PS: The ROM really improved the performance,in first Charge (with 11% of battery),with Battery Saver enabled (in Settings > Battery),the phone scored 11000 on Antutu Benchmark!

And this is really awesome.

Battery is much better too.

I will test more things later,and update my review.

Is there any progress with the video green screen issue?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Folgore89:
I finally managed to get it working by using latest TWRP (standard version not f2fs version), and by changing all partitions file system from f2fs to ext4. Then I simply flashed the latest sdk22 and installed the alpha4 apk.

Maclaw any clues about what might be causing this with outdated TWRP and\or f2fs?

And is it intentional not to have Aroma installer on this Rom?

Finally found a video record solution!

Searched on another forums about the green screen bug in S3 Mini Lollipop ROMs...and I found a (software) solution!

Yes,Camu works,but the video recording is laggy in our device Lollipop ROMs.

Steps to "fix the bug":

1 - Download VivaVideo on Play Store (the Free version works)

2 - Disable Hardware Decoder in Options

3 - Finished! Now enjoy recording your videos! :D
