I'm using Substratum and I'd say the performance is good once the overlays are built and enabled. I personally don't think it costs performance in everyday use.

While building overlays though the phone is basically not usable for anything else. After building it might take a few minutes to get itself together again (and might be somewhat unresponsive for that time) and finally system ui crashes (or restarts intentionally?) but after that everything is fine.

So as long as I only update themes when I don't need my phone for 10-15min it works well.

Don't know about the Sdcard. Mine is rather fast (faster than the phone supports at least)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] HirogenX:
[MENTION=8063879]Oehrly[/MENTION] : thanks for replying. So it must be due to the old and slow extSd that my phone is lagging so much. Will buy a faster one tomorrow an see how it works

Hi,

I made a "swipe to factory reset" accidentally and when I tried to reboot the mobile was impossible, I tried to repair or change the file system, but the mobile told that " invalid partition selection" , I tried to restore a backup copy I had, but the same didnt work , when to TWPR and says me the same ¨ invalid partition selection¨

I would be very grateful I someone could help me.

Many thanks

Try to install the system without removing it, or remove the system and then install it, it will not remove data.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] lanz80:
Hi Himarasly,

Thanks for your support. Fortunately from TWRP I have backup the important stuff to the external card. Crossfinger to be well safe and no corrupted or thing like that.

Regarding to the installation , is there any step-guide to follow?

Many thanks

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:

Hey Maclaw!

I've just installed your latest build (20170414) and I'm absolutely in love with the Pixel Launcher. It looks gorgeous, It would be awesome if you could implement this launcher in your other ROM's!

I've been using the ROM for the past 2 hours and I am impressed with the customization options and the overall look of the ROM, everything looks so much 'cleaner' than Marshmellow.

I know you should let your freshly installed ROM settle for a few days before making any statements about it, but I've used a ton of ROM's and I have the feeling this one won't get any smoother over time. As said earlier Youtube video's lagg every now and then and even my clash of clans laggs when I'm doing ordinary stuff. My battery drained insanely fast too whilst using it.

But, I've been using your ROM's for the past 3 years, and I'm confident to tell everyone this ROM will become as good as any other.

Greetings and thanks for all your work!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Hmarasly:
So if you have your data safe; you can go in TWRP to "Wipe" section, then press "advanced" and select all without external card, and wipe, after that return to home and go to "install", select the installation file (.zip) and install, then install Gapps (Google apps), delete Cache/Dalvik and reboot.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] lanz80:
Hi,

I saved all the data in the microSD card, and after that i formatted the mobile. I have downloaded the samsung Kies drivers, the original rom, the odin program, and I have and USB cable, that I am not sure at 100% that is the original one. The phone always is booted or restarted enters in the TWRP v2.7.0.1 console. In the Odin program when I select in the AP the ROM appears to in the log:

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished sucessfully

<OSM> Leave CSM

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 0)

I think that Odin doesnt recognize the mobile because the ID:COM doesnt shows any indication / message, maybe due because is bricked, or the due the USB cable, or I dont know......

Any procedure to follow to solve it?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Oehrly:
I don't understand, if it always boots to TWRP why don't you flash the zip trough TWRP instead of using Odin?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] AndroidN@xda:
Power off the phone and boot it into download mode by pressing the power, volume down and home Button. Then press volume up. After that Odin will recognise the device. If not, there's a problem with the cable or something.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] engelbert123:
physical buttons do not work

hello I tried the rom but I do not work the physical buttons, menu, back, some patch to solve it? I have an S3 mini model I8190N
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] AndroidN@xda:
I've had that problem too. After flashing a ROM, the buttons may not work. After a while they may work again.

I don't know the cause but its a temporary problem
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] AndroidFL:
why isn't there a link in the download page, had to search for it manually

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Grumpy Cat:
I think it's safe to say that development for the Samsung Galaxy S3 MINI has come to a halt. So I'd like to extend my gratitude and on behalf of everyone else to say thank you to Maclaw and those that helped with development over the years. It has been a great run while it lasted.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] AndroidN@xda:
This may not be the end yet

It may be slow on newer android versions but android go may help us.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 mini can probably still hang in with android go.

I thank maclaw and everyone to receive credit for their contributions toward development with this phone. I literally used every custom ROM released by maclaw.

Will there be someone to step in and build the final custom android 8.1 for this legendary phone.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] lexus232:
Guys I'd like your input on my situation. I've installed the latest stable version and my s3 mini lags horribly. Sometimes it takes up to few second even for setting menu to open up. Did I do something wrong or it is because the device is old and has slow hardware?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mandayugana:
I don't think you did something wrong. Nougat ROMs lag a lot on S3 Mini. I don't know whether it is because of slow hardware or just unresolved bugs.

LOS 13 by Maclaw is good with microG. There is a bug when switching network. Fortunately, a fix had been uploaded in its thread.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] lexus232:
I beg pardon, but what is LOS 13 and microG and where to get them? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mandayugana:
LOS (LineageOS) is the new brand of Cyanogenmod. MicroG is an open source alternative to Google Play Services.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] HRA11:
Any bug on previous version? Is it good for daily use?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Oehrly:
I don't think there was a bug, though I'm not quite sure. Read some pages back to when that release came out if you want to be sure.

I have switched to LineageOS as I think it is slightly smoother running, even though I prefer RR.

I no longer use this phone daily, but IMO it is possible (used it for 7 years now, 6 years with Maclaws ROMs). Worse than the ROM (ROM is good, hardware for it is not) are apps that are incredibly bloated nowadays and therefore sometimes ridiculously slow. If you're already on one of the 7.x releases nothing will be much different.

Real issue: nothing work, stuck at bootlogo, download removed. Latest version of file available for download is rr7.1_golden.nova.20171117.zip XD '(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] vitkils:
I flashed rr7.1_golden.nova.20171109.ODIN_TWRP (obviously, by "Odin") yesterday evening on GT-I8190N (first tried recovery version, but it stuck in the middle of flashing - twice). Haven't tested everything. Tested:

- GPS - working!

- NFC - no sign of possibility to enable this feature with this ROM. If anyone know how - share with me, please.

- "Back" and "Menu" touch buttons - not working, could be "resolved" in this ROM (unlike LOS) by setting up build-in navigation panel or assigning "back" and "menu" functions to long press or/and double tap of "Home" button. If anyone know how to enable touch buttons - share with me, please.

If I'll find more issues, I'll add

UPD: Outgoing call is a bit quiet, but could be "resolved" by pressing "Volume -" button in each call. Incoming calls seem to be OK

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] uig200:
Unfortunately the GPS does not work. As I read in this thread, many people have problems with this too.

Update:

I also tried the Nougat 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1) 20171215 ROM. Unfortunately, I encountered the same GPS No Fix problem. Since many seem to have the same issue with the Android 7.1.2, I downgraded my system to KitKat 4.4.4 (SlimROM) and and behold GPS is working just fine again. Samsung galaxy s3 mini seems to have huge problems with GPS on Nougat 7.1.2.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy 3 mini new off Amazon and can't find any working ROMs for the device other than R-Mod because development has stopped for this device because it is EOL because somebody decided and took Novafusion down and so none of the links in this thread work because it it is EOL or something such as that.

Here is where you can buy a new Samsung Galaxy 3 Mini. It is a good telephone to use some have said!

I am sorry, I do not have upload accounts so I cannot help there. My best advice would be to try the link in Edge or Chrome and revisit if the download does not work straight away.

I am still aquiring apps so I have not tested rr7.1_golden.nova.20171220.zip yet. I will post if it is successful.

From past experience I would say that the rom might work, however beacause the model is in a different product group some features might or might not. It is worth giving it a try! Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] @ndroid2o24:
Thank you for your answer. The download did not work, but I found the the rom here --> https://archive.anarchy-droid.com/golden/ (I hope, I am allowed to post the link here).

There are so many different models of the s3 mini. Saidly the gt-i8200 (without a letter) doesn't have good custom rom support. Which model do you have. Is there a risk I could brick my phone by flashing it with this custom or is it possible to go back to the stock rom? I would first backup thr running system with twrp an then flash thr custom rom.

Thanks.
