It isn't mutually exclusive. We have both CM11 and CM12/12.1 ROMs beieng developed at the same time, and there is no problem with that. Of course CM11 has slow development now, and isn't a priority, because CM12 is stable enough to be used daily.

Personally, I would like an Android M ROM to test out, since s3 Mini isn't my main phone anymore. I just use it to test ROMs and do some light web browsing.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Folgore89:
I didn't mean Maclaw shouldn't venture into M at all. But, before rushing into it just for the hurry to have the latest, I'd personally prefer to have a bug-free cm12.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] HAJT669:
And the update!? :mad:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] garthybarthy:
To be fair lollipop has been out for a year, developers are still finding fixes to get a stable rom due to the big changes from kit kat to lollipop. I wouldn't want to go back to square one and have a rom with hardly anything working for months.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] HAJT669:
What's wrong with the UPDATE!!!! :confused::mad::banghead::thumbdown:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Folgore89:
I totally agree with you, to the point I am thinking to go back to kk just to have everything, or almost, working.

Dude why don't you build your own rom? You know, people have a life, too..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] djsam.ua:
Hey, give some respect!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] shailuk301:
Hello guys,

What do u think CM 11 or CM 12 is better for balance between battery life & performance ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] garthybarthy:
I personally preferred KitKat for stability and battery life but I'm sure many will prefer lollipop.

Too many bugs on lollipop, things get fixed, then another release and something else isn't working.

Just my personal opinion.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] shailuk301:
Which rom ?

Which rom do u recommended to use on our s3 mini ?

omni, stock based, cm based etc.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] garthybarthy:
I kind of switched inbetween omni rom and cm11, just personal preference. Omni rom has bln as standard if your bothered about that.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Maltonator:
I recommend cm 12.1

Great performance, great battery life and almost no bugs.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Nixen241:
Man, try to build ROM. Really. You'll gain some respect for devs. Really.

s3 mini i8190n

To you new maclaw.

You take your time with the development of this rom. I believe that this will be the end of the line as far as this device can be pushed.

To those that question cm11 to 12.1

I do think the cm11 rom is pretty much flawless. Been using for a long time. But the ART structure of 12.1 is so much quicker. What a difference..

Asda sell these phones for 50 quid now!

Oh happy days

And as always. Thankyou

Will it be OK if I use F_kernel with this rom ?

Also can you help me with governer and i/o for best performance + battery life.

Hello is there any battery life difference between cm 11 & cm 12 ?

Will try this definitely.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Maltonator:
Yes, but default kernel is working better for me.

I use zzmoove and noop and it is the best (and default one?) for me.

Cm12.1 is a lot better than cm11. Cm 11 battery life was about a few hours and with cm12 it's amazing!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] CharlieMHz:

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Maltonator:

will extended battery damage my phone ?

Hello again,

Will extended battery damage my s3 mini ?

Because I lost my htc desire bravo and I believe that it happened when I used extended battery with full performance profile.

As its inbuilt chip was unable to sustain high frequency speed at such a long amount of life (as extended battery was able to provide charge for many hours ).

By the way which battery are u using right now ?

Hi, anyone flashed today's build? I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 to flash it, dirty first time, just wiped cache and dalvic. Rebooted and got a boot screen with the word "android" rather than the familiar blue CM smilie. "andoid" fades from left to right. After 10 mins of no change, I powered off, rebooted to recovery and did a full wipe (not format) of system system, data, cache and data. Flashed again, went to reboot after wiping cache and dalvic, and got the "your device is not rooted" message. I did the clean flash twice, with and without installing SU, but never got to "android" boot screen message, just a blank screen.

So, I went back to the last build.

My file systems are ext4. My device is gt-i8190.

Might try ODIN later.

External SD card with ext4/f2fs

I still can't use ext2/3/4 nor f2fs as filesystem for the SD card. It had been working before but something broke this feature lately.

the VPN is not working on this rom so i go back to kitkat 4.4.4. plesae make VPN work
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] thgravo:
But why on earth has support been dropped??? FAT and exFAT are the least favourable options here! FAT is ancient and really slow when I tried it. And exFAT is a proprietary filesystem patented by MICROSOFT and for that can't be integrated into the kernel. It uses FUSE with the inherent performance loss.

So at least one native filesystem should be available for use with the SD card...

Call droping issue

I have call droping issue, anyone else? I saw on the Omnirom thread a fix, its a apk for the dialer, I installed but the problem is not solved. Please Maclaw, fix this problem. Your work is great. :)

Offline Charging doesn't work and when I toggle the flashlight on, it won't turn off again no matter what I do. Those are the two issues I've experienced. Rest of the features works like charm! thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] +BOB+:
f2fs formatted external SD card was never supported :angel:

Supported are /system, /data & /cache formatted as f2fs.

Please read this:

http://novafusion.pl/tutorials/how-to-use-f2fs-s3-mini/

At the moment the rom installer of CM12.x is formating the /system partition as ext4. May be in future releases we can select between ext4 and f2fs during installation again, like CM11 and Carbon.

Please correct volume of calls? And fix the reset calls? Thank you for your work!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] H0ktar:
anyone noticed, that skipping music tracks with volume button dont work? im using shuttle and stock music app
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] garthybarthy:
Call dropping is a big problem, mentions it's fixed all the time in releases but still happens.

End up missing very important calls as it sometimes takes 2-3 attempts at calling me before it doesn't drop.

Video recording has been a problem since the very beginning and never seems to get mentioned or attempted to be fixed. I know you can use camu but its an inconvenience at times. Not a major problem for me but I bet it is for others.

Sort the dialer app, fix the camera, allow move2sd as link2sd causes major problems when updating this ROM and then F2FS support.

The ROM would be perfect like cm11 with those little tweaks.

Thanks for all the effort, it doesn't go unappreciated!! :)

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] thgravo:
Thanks for the link! But I've read it before and it doesn't say much about formatting the external SD card (sdcard1).

I might be mistaken with f2fs - but I have been using either ext4 or f2fs on my external SD card before.

As those two filesystems are both natively integrated in the kernel and are already used for other partitions on our device I wonder if using those for the sdcard1 is a big deal anyway...

Use TWRP - i think this might be to do cyanogen changing installer code

i was wondering what was going wrong with some of my test installs with cwm
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PolishVodka:
CWM 6.0.2.7 is too old for KitKat even, doesn't support "set_metadata" command which was replaced from "set_permission". If I remember correctly, only 6.0.4.8 and above support KitKat and Lollipop of course. Use TWRP if newer CWM/Philz isn't available on your device.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
Thank you for recommending the excellent Kernel Adiutor app (Play Store) as it did the trick for me regarding the governor bug. When I set zzmoove governor via this app, the change was also visible in the performance settings menu (from where you couldn't change the governor with the current CM12.1 ROM). From this point on, I will not touch the performance settings menu and use Kernel Adiutor for these purposes.

As for the zzmoove/noob performance settings, during nighttime when the phone was barely used, the phone had gone from 100% to 84% in about 8 hours. This isn't bad but I had a bit better results with the previous ROM+F_kernel (which I decided NOT to use anymore)+Abyssplug&SIO. However, the phone is definitely more responsive and the battery life is acceptable. I might try the Abyssplug&SIO combination with the current ROM but if the smoothness goes away, I will be sticking with zzmoove&noob.

Finally, I've been looking for a good free camera app for this phone/ROM as I find the stock camera (CM camera) and Camu to be lacking and pretty slow. I settled for MX Camera which has good features and is a bit faster. However, it does take green video (so I'm keeping VivaVideo) and there is currently no way to save to Ext. SD card. I thought about getting the paid Snap Camera HDR as I use it with my own phone but my partner is adamant when it comes to avoiding paid apps.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] CharlieMHz:
Battery drain at different levels of battery can be very different.

For instance, I once plugged out my phone when it was fully charged and it dropped to 96% in just a matter of minutes. But when at levels lower than 80%, it would drop by roughly 4% every night (approx. 8 hours time)

Is anyone able to get Xposed to work on the latest release? I flashed v75 of the framework, it is recognized by the installer app, but modules show no effect.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Folgore89:

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] alvin853:
I flashed the v74 right after flashing the 1007 build of this rom, but it wasn't working, so I updated to the v75, yet still not working. Also when trying to move SuperSU to /system it just disappears completely instead.

Had the same issue three times on a row.

Use TWRP 2.8.7.0

'Detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblkOp2

Detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblkOp2' (the message twice !)

furthermore nothing. Screens stays put with that message.

OK, I didn't make a logcat.

Is it nessacery or is there a simple solution. ??
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] alvin853:
I know I don't need SuperSU, I just prefer it over the CM root for the extra settings. I was just saying that SuperSU is also having problems with the /system partition.

As far as XPosed goes, it installed just fine, I have the 2.8.7.0 twrp. But if I understand the log correctly, it can't load the modules for some reason.

That is correct, you get that message two times in a row, part of the installation script. If that's all you get you need more patience, let the installer finish. Can take 10-15 minutes. Just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean nothing is happening. In contrary as long as you don't see any error messages everything is fine.

As for the latest 20151007 release the energy drain seems to have even increased in my case... :eek:

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] O==]===X=1=i===>:
At first I'd like to point out my respect for Maclaws work for our old device!

I know youre doing great work "just for fun" in your free time, you have a job and "a life" with a family and everything around.

I really respect and appriciate your work!

But.... It's very annoying to always have to try and find out whats working and whats not on every release.

And as others already wrote here: Some bugs have vanished in a new release and others appear.

I am actually frozen on Maclaws CM12.1 2015-08-18 with current TK GApps, clean installed. Most things I'm using often are working good or at least acceptable. Performance is good to acceptable, some times I need to flush all running apps to get rid of some device wde lag, but this is okay for me too.

Phone app keeps force crash when I try to pick up incomming calls 95% of all cases - this is a very big issue for me.

Also phone app has massive lag to display incomming calls, around 5+ seconds from sleep mode.

I'm some kind of over all tired of flashing new CM and all the stuff, recovering apps, settings and data.

Battery comsumption is not that important for me, I have chargers at home, in my car and at work, so no big deal.

Maximum performance is even not that important, I dont play games nor do I use high performance apps.

What I need most, is a allmost stable ROM (150818 is) with a reliable working phone app (150818 has not).

Basically the PHONE-function is what mobile PHONE arrised from in the early 90's and now we have issues with catching calls?

Please someone tell me which of all the releases in the last months will be the best choice for me?

Thanks for your work Maclaw and thanks for help everyone. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] vleutmans:
If you want a stable bugfree ROM , then why don't you just use CM11 like me?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Tigerman82:
Now that you mention it, I can agree. After the battery dropped from 100% to 84% overnight with little to no use, it drained very slowly even when it was in use. However, I did try it with Abyssplug&SIO but that was a mistake as the battery drained to 6% really fast. So zzmoove&noop seems to be the best bet.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] CharlieMHz:
Did you try zzmoove with sio?
