You have posted in the Wrong Section. Questions go in the Q & A Section. Read the Sections before you post or just understand it, buddy. Answering your question, first root your Phone. Second, flash CWM Recovery. This will allow you to install ROM's. Third, choose the ROM of your choice. It can be any Versions starting from 2.2 to 4.4(CM 9 to CM11). CM7 is the best and lag free for our Phones with Good Battery Backup when compared to CM9 & CM10
I guess u can easily to install custom rom, no need to update your software...

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....

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)?

1. Yes, you can use it as long as you want
2. Which rom are you using?
3. You need to run android 2.3.x at least, because you need CWM 5.x.x.x to flash the latest custom roms
Here a useful thread where you'll find llots of info (How to root, install CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed, flash a stock rom via Odin...and lots of tips )

can you please kindly tell me which rom has a bugless? coz i have tried reading some of the custom roms even outside the forum ., some roms has a bug like camera ,wifi etc. all i need is a custom rom which is based on a stock rom but have changes or tweaks like removed the useless apps. im running on GB 2.3.4 and i want it to upgrade it to higher version but a stock rom with a tweak, because nothing beats a stock rom i guess ^^

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
