Ok thats great news... I assume that (NFC) is Near Field Communication ... i dont use it
thanks

One more question as im new to this... sorry if its a bit simple
i have CWM and it seems to work fine for making a backup image. My S3 mini is rooted... reading posts about cyanomodgen guys seem to recommend using TWRP... I was under the impression they had a similar function?? Do I need to remove CWM and put in TWRP or just continue with CWM??

If you successfully installed CM11 with CWM there's no need to switch. It's just recommended because it fails installing kitkat roms for some people.

Kies Issue with Updating

Hi guys.
Been a while since i posted but here is the situation:
My friend has a s5830 and its still on froyo! 2.2.1. Completely stock (not even rooted). She asked me to help as when plugged into kies it says:-
"devices firmware not supported to update via kies"
its shows firmware version kb7 kb1 kb6 (h3G)
Now i know i can flash using odin (know my way around an ace like the back of my hand) but she doesnt want me to do that. All im trying to find out is why Kies says this?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Is it an open sim galaxy ace because I had the same problem with it

If you mean sim unlocked then yes. She just tried another carrier sim card and it worked.
how did you resolve this?
There isn't a way to solve that issue as far as I no, the open sim mobiles get updated last or rarely updated so I had to update manually through Odin

Haha, I know this, you know this but seeing as she sits next to me at work and that is where i will do it she might just notice! If i had my way it would already be flashed with CM9/10!

Beven using it since it same out so bit bored of it to be honest. But your right its more stable / functional.
There's a new apocalypse rom due to come out with in the next couple of days its already been tested and sounds good so far I'm going to flash it as soon as its out
don't blame me it wrote itself
Screw stock roms. Flash CM 7.2 stable (download from CyanogenMod official site) and you will have GB 2.3.7 with tons of options and features. Everything works in that rom and after flash is fully working, no need to do anything. Better than this? Hope you find a solution. Bye

Thanks for your reply, I know CM is great, I use it on my ace and note. The point of this thread was to find the reason why a friend ace cannot be updated by using Kies......

What is the best Custom Firmware for S3 Mini GT-l890

I'm planning of installing a custom firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini.

firstly welcome to android
secondly if you had actually read and understood the forum rules you would have done a search
thirdly the search would have shown you that the last person that made a post like this one got a warning from a moderator and the thread was closed

The best rom is the original rom You can root your s3 mini, and change how you want
Bear in mind that this is one of the forbidden questions in XDA..

The 'best rom' is down to what you want...I use Benz Rom personally as it offers the best of what I want. All Roms are different, best thing to do is flash a few until you find the one you're happy to use.

There is no general answer.
Every custom has it´s advantages.
Make a Nandroid Backup, download several Custom ROMs and test them.
You will see which one is the best for you.

Hi guys, I ordered a mini S3 and should already be getting 2 or 3 days.
I downloaded the CM10.1 in MaclawStudio, but I want the stock odin case of a mistake in the installation or I want to go back. Could you pass me a link to stock and odin?!
Sorry my bad English.

Thanks for the help, hopefully not damaging the cell with the CM10, I already installed the Cm9 on a phone before, but always the fear. I'll have to wait for my phone and get to know which model it (perhaps the L).

the CM10 works on any model but you would lose the baseband L model has and NFC is its the N model

I'm a little lost here, I can install in any model Cm10.1 S3 mini, but I saw a tutorial on the internet that seeks to root before installing CM10.1, why?
I can not create an account on SamMobile, can you pass me the stock of another link?

Yes, you can install CM10.1 in any S3 Mini model but you would lose the extras L and N model has
No, you don't have to root before installing CM10.1, it comes pre-rooted

So you are saying that we don't need to root our phones to install CyanogenMod 10?

You would have to root it at least once to install custom recovery to install it

Bro I'll give a advice. I can see you have not much experience nor confidence in what you will do. If I was you I give a try in maclaw's cm11 first & if you don't like it you can always flash this awesome stock (modded) rom. No one here (s3 mini forum) has that issue & btw the link that you gave me is for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 not s3 mini, so if you still want to flash that sms fix you should ask to the dev (on his thread) if it works on s3 mini. I'm going out now so, have a nice day & happy new year, again

Only the Samsung roms have this problem. Cm roms dont do that. So you can flash cm ,go to maclaw.pl ,downloads, s3 mini and then cyanogenmod. Whichever version you want, I would suggest cm 10.2 cause doesn't have many bugs. Otherwise if you want to download a Samsung rom that doesn't have that problem, check the android development forum you will find many of them. If you have a deodex Rom you can flash the secMms mod which is found on s3 mini themes and apps forum. If you don't know what deodex means our you are odexed follow the previous advice. And a last thing: HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Another thing you can do is to install xposed framework and download from the xposed installer the "disable sms convert to mms" module, enable it and then reboot

i think the solution is via xposed with a module that can help you with no mms conversation or try re installing a rom
