Custom roms - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi guys,
Well I'm a android user and I have a SE Arc S and I know quite a few things about flashing new roms, kernels, etc...
My girlfriend has a galaxy mini and she's complaning about the phone's performance. So I want to install a custom rom with a better performance but I know little about the "how to" in Samsung.
I've searched but I couldn't find any tutorial. Can someone post a link please?
Thanks
EDIT: Found the tutorials but in SE phone we have to unlock the bootloader, is it necessary on the Galaxy minis? Or is it just flashing through CWM recovery?!

Try here www.yagyagaire.blogspot.com I'm sure you'll find some info

If you have understood methods then Try flashing CM7 (or ROMs based on cm7) for best customizations or try Emanon v6 for touchwiz look and better stability....

it's running 4.0.4 not 4.4.1

For Daily uses, u can try CM7 with the stable one.

New to S.. Wanna flash

Guys, recently bought galaxy S i9000 with froyo
Now i wanna switch of a ICS rom which is stable and bugless with ofcourse battery life..
So how can i upgrade.
Plz guide

You will want to root your phone first, look in i9000 General on how to do that.
Then, look in the i9000 Development forum for an ICS ROM and follow instructions.
I think you need GB bootloaders first. Best is to upgrade with kies to GB->root->flash ICS.
Go to chainfire kernel thread in development section.there you will get all the steps to root your phone.Then go to ics ROM of your choice i would recommend CM9 or team nyx...open the thread you will get the info how to flash...you will have to flash twice...and it's done

Hi cistamlaka, be aware that it is your uncle's phone, not yours. So I would be very careful on rooting and upgrading to a different rom. If he is on a stock 2.3.3, I think (because I had it) there is an update to 2.3.6. It fixes a couple of lags.
If you root him the phone and push some new rom onto it, he might be confused because he will lose the TouchWiz and some applications. Check first with him, what applications (and if some Samsung-made) he uses and if he is okay to change the looks of the phone.
Isnt it right that he has only to download a file and change it to "update.zip" to flash it via stock recovery? A friend of me needs that file, is it the same to use as on sgs plus (i9001)?

the problem is that usb doesnt work (he will fix it) but the charging works.For update do I have to use kies or OTA if it is possible?

Hi,
If you try to use CM 10/9 ROMs you will suffer from lags and battery drain due to following limitations of our ACE:
Less Ram (Min 512 MB req. for smooth performance with user apps installation)
Less power processor (its ARM5-787MHz only while ICS and JB need modern processors for smooth performance with user apps )
Limited battery (Only 1350MAh while ICS and JB need 1700-2000 MAh power house for a day long backup..while it also depends on user usage)
Thus, I will suggest you to flash CWM recovery 5.0.26 and then flash any CM 7.2 ROM / CUstom Stock ROMs of your choice.
Some best ROMs are :
Apo-K-lypse (new one :Genius version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444500
Ultimatum V 3.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234221
You will get best performance, features and battery life with these ROMs.. much better than CM9/10 ROMs for our ACE.
All the best and comment again if you need any further help
Before flashing a ROM you must flash ClockWorkMod recovery. Once you installed CWM you must boot in recovery and then do the followings step:
1) wipe data/cache
2) advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
3) install zip from SD card
4) choose the zip and confirm
5) reboot
For the most stable cm10.1 I suggest you Cm10.1 by Maclaw or the last CM10.1 by androidarmv6 team.
My favourite is the second one !
These are pure CyanogenMod ROMs with no moddings. I don't like modded ROMs.

Galaxy S plus i9001-Ican't flash any custom Rom from stock Rom

I'm on stock Rom GB 2.3.6 on my Samsung s plus and I tried to flash any Cyanogen Custom Rom in CWM ( Ics and Jb) and Always i get the same answer . O f course I rooted My phone ,Installed CWM and did all the wipes .Always the same answer no matter what version of Custom rom I tried to flash.What can I do?
Makesure you have to use correct version of cwm to install the cm. I recommend try cyanogenmod 10.1 JB 4.2.x . GO to the cyanogen official rom post (under ADC team).
FOllow all the instruction that stated inside the topic.
Any mismatch of the version of installation can fail to install rom.

You have i9001
The rom you try to flash is for i9000

Exactly.
Looks like your installation is failing because the file is for an I9000B. If you want to use CM10.1 on an I9001, you'll need to go here.

If you are rooted then just flash ultimatum ROM .zip file
It has AROMA installer and it will ask you which kernel to install.
If you want to flash kernel separately then you can find the files on Ultimatum ROM page itself.
Glad you replied me bro
Thanks alot for the reply..
Sir
While Flashing Kernels, Should i look into BaseBand or Something related to it. I have DDKQ8. Well this ROM supports this ? How to check that
For installing CM 10.1 or 11, Latest CWM version i required. So for installing CM 7.2 Is CWM 5.2.0.6 is enough ? or i need to upgrade ?
Waiting for ur Helping Hands..

If you are running a Stock rom, root your device and flash CWM5 and then you'll be able to upgrade your firmware
With CWM5 (Stock rom e.g.) you can flash directly CM10.x and viceversa, so:
CMW5.x >>> Stock Roms/CM7.x/CM9./CM10.x
CMW6.x >>> CM11/Omni/Android 4.4.x
