Can the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 (GT-S6500) be able to use USB OTG tecnology after upgrade to, for example, CyanogenMod 10?
I read various posts discordant.
Is the problem software only or hardware too?
Thank you very much

Hello XDAdevelopers community,
first of all, thank you for these very useful Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 forums! Before starting this thread, I have extensively searched the forums for an answer, but could not found a relevant solution. I could only find a guide with rooting options for Ace on the Mac here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550854 but this is only a small part of the solution for my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 mobile phone, running Android Version 2.2.1, Build number FROYO.XWKA9. I would very much like to update to the latest officially available firmware, then root my phone and afterwards be able to install a Custom ROM. I would like to install preferably a CyanogenMod7-based ROM, because I have read that there are problems with the Camera of Galaxy Ace phones in connection with CyanogenMod9-based ROMs. I found a Custom ROM (Miui Style CM7.2 RC0) that I would like to try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413400
My problem: I have a Macintosh computer only, running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I have installed Samsung Kies version 1.3.0.12072_17 for Mac, but it cannot recognize the Galaxy Ace - there are several websites mentioning that Samsung Kies for Mac does not have driver support for Samsung Galaxy Ace...
My questions:
1) Is there a way to update Samsung Galaxy Ace from 2.2 to stock 2.3 on the MAC (Samsung Kies for Mac obviously does not recognize a connected Galaxy Ace)?
2) Is it true, that CyanogenMod7-based custom ROMs can be installed ONLY on a rooted Android version 2.3.x (but not on a rooted 2.2.x)?
3) Could you please recommend a MIUI style custom ROM for Ace, based on cm-7.2.0-cooper STABLE release?
Thank you very much in advance for any useful reply!
1. Try to reinstall the drivers for the phone. KIES should work.
2. Yes. You need to be rooted.
3. Why don't you try MIUI4 or MIUI GB by TeamCooper?
Its an original port..

Hello Shaaan, thank you very much for your reply!
According to 1) Could you please give a link where I can download and reinstall the KIES drivers for Samsung Galaxy Ace? Have you managed to connect successfully a Samsung Galaxy Ace with Kies on a Macintosh computer? On my Mac, Kies constantly shows "Notification: This device is not supported by Kies.", I have enabled USB debugging on my mobile. Should I try a previous version of Kies, I have Kies 1.3.0.12072_17 so far.
According to 2) I plan to install the stock 2.3 first, then root, then install a Cyanogen7.2-based Custom ROM.
According to 3) Please post a link to the latest MIUI4 and MIUI GB by TeamCooper. Are these the latest releases of
* MIUI GB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586773
* MIUI 4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674079
or there are newer versions? I suppose that MIUI4 is CyanogenMod9-based, is the camera bug fixed?
If you still can't update on kies for Mac, go to any Samsung shop and ask them to update it.
MIUI4 does have the camera bug.
CM9 now has a working camera with preview but the camera app has no options other than to take a pic. No video recording yet.

Hello, I searched in many places and I couldn't find any cyanogenmod for samsung galaxy mini plus. Does it exists a version for this phone?
Anyonne?
I don't think so, because Galaxy mini plus has some different hardware from the Galaxy mini. Try compare it on gsmarena.

I think there has not been any cyanogenmod updates for galaxy mini 2 with the camera working. I'm sorry you'll have to wait.
I found another ROM for galaxy mini 2. It looks kinda cool, but flash it at your own risk.

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to port a Android 4.0 rom from the Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 to the Galaxy Mini SGH-T499(Also known as the Samsung Galaxy Dart). I am using a Gingerbread build for the Galaxy Dart as a base rom. I flash it but it just goes to the boot screen and stops. I don't know if it was possible but I tried to port the Android 4.0 rom anyway. At this piont I don't care because development for the Samsung Galaxy Mini SGH-T499 has seem to stop. I'm a noob when it comes to porting so if anyone can make a Jellybean or ICS rom for it please do so. At the moment it just has 2.3.6 while all the other galaxy mini varients have 4.x builds. You can find the builds and source at MADteam.co. Please help with the development, or help me with my porting issues.
Device is listed under Samsung SGH-T499 (Galaxy Mini/Dart)

No, it is posibble, most mini roms were ports from the galaxy 5 player and galaxy y. I've seen a post on MADTeam where a man had ported miui to the Samsung Galaxy Dart using a Galaxy Mini rom which was ported from the Galaxy S I9000. I just want to know if i could port an android 4.0 rom using a gingerbread rom as a base?
