well there is an app called BootManager out there that allows you to flash roms to your SD, but theres a couple of drawbacks,
1. the S3 Mini isn't officially supported.. if you know enough, maybe you can get it to work.
2. Your going to have to pay for the privilege to try get it working (£1.87, US$2.99)
Only other thing is hope a developer picks it up and ports it for our lovely phone =]

I've seen it, but i says Galaxy-Devices won't work because of Samsung boot partition :/ Does a custom rom partition the phone? Oh and there is a free lite version, but i love my phone too much to risk a brick...

We need a kernel for it

[Q] Installing themes on the Captivate

If this has been asked more than once, I apologize!
I got this phone couple days ago and I stumbled upon this forum to notice many different themes. I was wondering how you change it from the original Captivate theme to the themes the makers made here. Thanks
Are you rooted? Do you have a certain rom? Because you cant get a theme from developers until your rooted and have a Rom that the theme is for?

I am rooted (I think since I searched it up and did what the person told me) as for ROM, I'm not quite sure if I do.

Here's an easy way to see if your rooted, go into your apps and see if you have an app called superuser. If you do, then you are rooted but if not then you are not. As for the rom I'm not sure as to what rom you have I'm not sure.

Read this guide over, it will explain how to install a custom rom, which is basically ( in very simplified terms) just a new very advanced theme that replaces the old stock one that comes with the phone. That link can tell you everything you need to know. Just be REALLY careful! the first time I tried to install a new rom my phone got messed up and i couldn't use it for three days. But anyways, have fun and welcome to the site!

I suggest Phoenix as your ROM. Its very simple to use and has good speed and good battery life. It's the first rom I had .
Here's the link http://www.phoenix-hq.com/ to the site with the downloads from everything from the Rom to Themes for the Rom to wallpapers.
If you need anything else feel free to PM me.

[DEV] LG Marquee 2.3 port (Brainstorming)

I'm not responsible for any damage done to your phone, as with any ROM, you accept this risk.
Rom Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L5C0HWTF
I've just done a quick port deodex'd the files and made it bootable etc
WIFI and Mobile network not working, i started to fix wifi but i need to be doing other work so hopefully you guys can get it going but other then that everything else seems to be working as far as i know.
only way to get to recovery atm is adb
this is focused for dev's only, mobile network not working atm so don't flash unless you plan on testing/debugging/deving
Its gonna be awhile though my upload is terrible..

why? on zte blade the mobile network issue has been solved with the replace of the apn config file
its not as easy as that because network files are lay'd out differently, also a lot of sprint propitiatory stuff it seems don't have any time atm to play around with it because got some more impotent things to do but thought i might as well let everyone else play with it.

how about its base band?
can anyone upload system/app deodaxed apks anywhere?
because of its network mode(CDMA2000),i think it's the reason why wifi and network not working.or flash P970's base band can solve it?
wifi can fix i guess. but netwrk should be hard to port our phone. need a Ricardo or Knzo or any good developer lol

can i dual boot?

can i dual boot 2 roms?
Yes and no. The closest thing to it is through an app called bootmanager that installs roms on your SD card which doesn't take long to switch between roms. But you can't truly dual boot off the phones internal storage.

thanks for your quick reply there is an app in the android market which can be used for dual boot purposes for example you can work on your ics rom and keep zues rom well in other words you dont need to keep nandroid backup which is time consuming..... the name of the app is boot manager plz check it out.....

Our device is not supported.
It won't help with trying to get the KU900 V30 to work on our P970 as it doesn't boot. I am not sure how they do this from what I can tell they boot much later by mounting their file image then booting from that. The problem we are facing happens before that, but it does look interesting.
EDIT: Those sizes you are looking for can very easily be found using any terminal emulator or adb shell.

To what extent does can it "emulate" the alternate ROM booting. Can we alter bootargs that are passed to kernel by u-boot. Their website actually tells me very little about how it is actually done.

Just the kernel won't help. We need to alter stuff before the kernel gets initialized and if we make a mistake then we might lose the ability to go into SW Update mode and we can't risk that.
We can easily re-flash kernels as is so that's not the problem.

[Q] Problem with apps

I have a problem downloading some apps. I waited for certain apps to come out for android but when i go to download them my device is incompatible with them ! My phone seems to be one of the only ones that wont work

Of course it would be like that since our phone is LDPI. If the apps you wanted were made for hdpi or mdpi, then you have no choice. Try to search for ported versions to ldpi/qvga. But this is not the only reason why it would say incompatible. The app may require higher processor speeds, larger RAM and what not..

Go to settings scroll down> about phone and last option is build number

oh I'm sorry about me questioning ur rom(which now i bet ur using a pure stock rom)., but for checking what baseband and android version u are currently using go to setting>>about phone.
anyway what app to be exactly it is that u mentioned not compatible with ur device and carrier? because yeah play store(market) restrict some app to be able to download to some country only i.e netflix,hbo,holo app only available for us region.
if ur phone rooted u can use market unlocker to disguise your carrier and region
and for some app like games that are only meant for high end with hq resolution, high processors and different type of cpu driver there is nothing we galaxy mini user can do about it, unless someone had port it to able to use to our phones...
hope I'm not confused you lol
