Does this have USB OTG feature in it?! It is a very important feature for me and NovaFusion seems to offer it "exclusively" on their ROMS. Are they really "exclusive" or does this ROM also have it?! http://novafusion.pl/tutorials/how-to-use-usb-otg-s3-mini/

Also, I use Open GApps Project and there, which platform should I use?! ARM, ARM64, x86 or x86_64?! http://opengapps.org/

Thanks, I sincerely appreciate your help.

Also waiting for Android 6.0.1 I heard it's harder, but we'd appreciate your hard work and love to have the latest!

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Geocfu1:
I dont know about the USB OTG because i dont use it my self, but for the Open GApps Project you

must

only use ARM.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
It would seem that the current ROM isn't causing my battery drain but the latest update to Messenger which has resulted in a partial wakelock called *job*/com.facebook.orca/com.facebook.bugreporter.scheduler.LollipopS..... I've never had this wakelock and apparently others are having it as well and switching to older versions of Messenger. I have this wakelock not only in my S3 Mini but in my S4 Mini running CM13.

[MENTION=5011036]New Macław[/MENTION] a small little bug i have noticed is that after a reboot the battery percentage shown is not the correct one(not all the times). A solution i found is that i have to plug my phone to the charger for 1-2 seconds and unplug it for the battery percentage shown to the real one. Is this fixable? And also, why dont you use the build-in OTA updater from cyanogenmod but with your download repository?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
[MENTION=5011036]New Macław[/MENTION] - BTW your download server is returning 503 service temporarily unavailable

just letting you know
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] KingShahJahan:
Thanks, I'll use ARM, 5.1 and GApps Pico and hopefully it will work.

Oops! I did NOT know that the one you provide is the NovaFusion one! So now I can be sure that OTG will work?!

The features list does NOT mention OTG and Play Store for THIS version (Older version shows that) so are they included?

Same! I'm able to download the latest ROM, but when I try to download TWRP recovery or ODIN or Samsung USB drivers, I get 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable.

Thanks!

...and use your freetime to fix VPN. thanks Maclaw
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] hcasquet:
He's doing what he can for us, mostly for free, and you demand more? Man... If he can look at it and fix it, perfect then, but if not... Just be patient.

I can understand some people need some characteristic and it isn't working ok right now... But, why use CM12.1 then? Just for the sake of it?

If you need something rock stable for a daily driver, go CM11, a build was posted on NF site not long ago.

Keep it cool, Marcin and Maclaw are doing their best. Keep it up, i can wait. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evildog1:

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
what problem with VPN? I haven't noticed any.

please, reply fast.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] zambbla:
Hi Maclaw & Thanks for you great job;)

The problem that tend to occur with VPN connections is the inability to reach locations that lie beyond the VPN server.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evildog1:
that's correct.

Hi Maclaw

Would you please check the RIL codes that causing 3G connection loss with full signal and cause Airplane mode takes 30 sec to enable?

This bug is from CM11 but it is happen on CM12 too. no matter what baseband i'm using. it is still happen. A small code in RIL may cause a big problem that causing 3G loss.

There's a glitch in the matrix. If I turn on powersaver on this ROM then the ROM is ULTRA FAST, at least three times faster than it is without powersaver mode. I checked to see if it was just my phone then I did it on my friends s3 mini on cm12.1 and it did that for him as well. Weirdly, its not as fast when it goes onto powersaver automatically when the battery is at 15%. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks for your help though.

Yeah, I was just going by the name S III Mini but still out of curiosity, I looked at my Model Name and I thought it was different to what I was seeing in the file name and other texts. I checked and bam I was pi$$ed!

Yeah, thanks for that link. I had already searched it and used it to flash recovery and the deodexed ROM. Now my device is deodexed, rooted and all the cr4p has been removed by that ROM compiler. So this is the best I have so far. It is still the stock Android version though.

I had downloaded all the ROMs, Recoveries, and read EVERY word of EVERY guide there was and hunted EVERY video on YouTube on my Indian 1 mpbs (100-120 KB/s) connection and now I'm very VERY pi$$ed! Need to take off some time and let some steam off!

Thanks everyone for your help though. I asked for help on a several issues of recoveries, ROMs, installation method etc and everybody was really helpful. Thanks again, I sincerely appreciate it.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Sugoi5:
Mhh, haven't tried Kitkat so far. So based on your statement I guess that Kitkat is preferable to Lollipop if performance is of higher priority than additional features.

If I remember correctly Kitkat has less bugs and battery drain to boot.

[MENTION=5011036]New Macław[/MENTION] is it possible to implement double tap to wake gesture on the kernel? If not why? I am a senior developer and i would like to know.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
As far as I remember it's not, probably due to screen driver.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Geocfu1:
but i though of a workaround. S3 mini has amoled display. When the screen off if a black image is displayed we can use a small wakelock to wake the device up.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
Just wanted to let you know that with this latest ROM I'm getting amazing battery life with OnDemand/Noop governor/scheduler combo. The defaults (Interactive/Sio) were not that great so I switched and the results were amazing: the battery was charged yesterday around 3-4 pm, it was about 76% at 10pm and, right now, after almost 24 hours, it's still over 40%. What's also surprising is that even with the fixes Mac added to his ROM, the Messenger wakelock is still there, and the battery drain is still so low. This is the best battery life I've got with any NovaFusion ROM ever. Wow. Good job, Mac!

One more thing. I had made one more change as I uninstalled Servicely and switched back to Greenify.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Zwenn:
Where do you change the settings for governor/scheduler again? Can´t find it anymore. Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Battery wouldn't be happy. And screen would be broken really soon. Too big workaround.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
Once upon a time there was indeed a performance settings menu but no more. Instead, install an app called Kernel Adiutor from the Play Store and use that. It's easy to use so long as you remember to tap "Apply on boot" on from the upper right corner to any and every change you make.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Zwenn:
Thanx. I will give it a try and see what happens. By the way, when I did my last update on 20160112 there wasn´t any aroma installer anymore. Is that normal? It was kind of strange because I couldn´t see the actual state of installation.

Xposed Framework and Gravitybox-lp are working very well. :)

General info about Xposed: http://xdaforums.com/xposed

For those who are interested in modding there rom.

Firstly: Read, read and read again and think if it is something you want.

I'm not an expert, but I read the posts and tried it.

Cm12 is a fantastic rom made by New Maclaw and there is more possible with it. That is why I thought it might be nice for others.

The credit for all this is of course for those who did the work, like: rovo89, C3C076 and others.

Go to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 and download:

xposed-v79-sdk22-arm.zip

XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk

xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm.zip

Then go to: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v5-0-0alpha-tweak-box-t3037566, for info about Gravitybox and for download (in 2nd post): GravityBox_Lollipop_5.3.5-rev1.apk. Rename it into Gravitybox.apk and put in in internal memory.

Install by recovery TWRP: xposed-v79-sdk22-arm.zip and reboot.

Wait for all the apps getting controlled again.

Install in a file-manager (ES Filemanager for example): XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and reboot.

Install in a file-manager: Gravitybox.apk and reboot again and the last time.

Open Xposed Framework and go to modules. Mark the checkbox from Gravitybox.

Open now Gravitybox-LP in app-summary.

Also on YouTube are several video's for info.

With xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm.zip you should be able to uninstall Xposed Framework.

Goodluck if you try it.

Capacitive Buttons failing + Solution

Hello,

In the past there were several comments about some

Now I also got one of them; so I have several fully working and

one with non-operating softkeys. Flashing original Samsung FW: Keys work.

Flashing Cyanogenmod: keys don't work (repeatable)

looking into the source code and comparing the output it looks like that there is a

communication issue with the chip when using the existing CM Nova kernel.

Maybe this is due to the updated firmware (ver. 0x19) compared to the 0x18 in CM kernel

which does not match to the kernel code.

The changes in the driver looks like changes in timing (counters) which could

actually explain the behavior I see.

I took the novafusion kernel from github and exchanged the two files from the newer Samsung source-package

and created a kernel zip (with the help of the F-Kernel package).

After flashing - the HW keys of the "bad device" do work now.

So the root cause obviously was a new Firmware already existing in the Coreriver TC360 IC which

does not work with the older kernel versions (and thus with Novafusion Kernel.

BTW: The same most likely holds for TWRP: On the bad device the HW keys also don't work in TWRP.

I guess using the kernel patch on devices which are working fine today would upgrade the TC360 FW as well and then

those devices will have the same issue with TWRP- So TWRP would also need the patch.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
This ROM continues to be good and I'm getting great battery life (about 1.3 days now with moderate use). I did find a pair of battery-draining apps that I uninstalled and that got me the battery life I now have. Firstly, I'd been using Battery Doctor (from the dubious Cheetah Mobile) for 'battery full' sound notifications and for getting battery info to status and notification bars. I uninstalled that and switched to Battery Notifier BT Free (it's only a notifier app, not a battery saving app). I then uninstalled CM Security (I do want some AV security on my Android and CM Security has a good rep even though it's from, you guessed it, Cheetah Mobile) and switched to its Lite version (the full version had become bloated with all kinds of extra stuff). After these two changes, the battery life increased tremendously. I do recommend that if you are experiencing poor battery life, you should definitely try to uninstall your battery saving software and your AV software to see what happens.

I also want to mention to those seeking for Facebook alternatives that I no longer recommend UC Browser as the best Facebook browser. Recently I noticed there is an app called Metal and it's both faster and lighter than UC Browser with a cleaner look. I do continue to use UC Browser as my go-to browser, though. As for the Messenger app... There isn't any good alternatives that get you instant message notifications with info about the message and the sender and to which you can answer quickly and intuitively. So I recommend you keep Messenger although you might want to think about getting an older version of it as as the current versions suffer from a partial wakelock called *job* (check yours BetterBatteryStats app).
