How good is s3 mini - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to buy a new smartphone and have 2 variants : s3 mini or lumia 630.
What to buy ?
1. S3 mini is good ?
2. How is cyanogenmod 11 vs stock ? Any battery drainage bug or something ?
3. Cyanogenmod 11 is fluence or laggy ? How is versus stock ?
4. Is good to buy this phone because i want to put cm 11 or isn't recommended ?
I ask this because i like s3 mini but i don't want a smartphone with lag (even with custom rom).
Thanks and many regards.

1. s3 mini is an excellent phone, but imo, better to spend a bit more and get a regular s3.
2. i prefer stock, i have not had lags since getting my s3 mini a few months ago. cm11, i tried on a friends s3 mini, and i did not like it at all- it was extremly laggy, it guzzled battery, and lots of things didnt work.
3.i cant tell you exactly, but i think you should go with a rom like slimrom or something if you dont want laggyness.
4. imo, best to skip cm11 and use a different custom rom, like omni or carbon.
you can go to the site novafusion.pl for info and rom downloads.

You can try S5Styled ROM from @galaxy mini It's much faster than the official firmware and looks exactly like the S5 does in many aspects
I couldn't and still can't get used to anything else other than Stock or Stock based custom ROMs!

To be honest, keep you money and buy the regular s3 or another phone. I recommend sony.
There is no official kitkat for this roms and cm11 from novafusion team somewhat buggy with clock freeze bug. Even to this day my clock will freeze. I change to AOSPA roms which totally awesome.
If you don't really care use modified stock roms but you will stuck in jellybean which i can say better to be basic.

If you shouldn't have decided yet: the Moto G LTE has recently gotten nightly builds, which work better than maclaws cm11 for i8190..

[Q] Are there any Jellybean ROM's for SGS Plus?

Hey, again, i'm a pretty newb and i still couldn't manage to find any Jellybean ROM or port to Samsung Galaxy Plus. Are there any news about CyanogenMod 10 being ported to Samsung Galaxy S Plus?
Maybe there's a ROM already (stable with possibility to be flashed with odin would be good)?
Thank's

[Q] N7000B?

I have an N7000 running official Omni KK nightlies and a friend of mine noticed it and asked if I could flash Omni on his stock JB Note. The trouble is now that I have his device with me I discovered it is the Australian/Thai version (N7000B). My question is are the two phones identical in terms of hardware? should I root or flash the device like I do with my N7000?
I think it should work.. They have same specs. But just search a little more to be sure..
You can always try, as there's always a repair method.

I'm running regular custom roms on my N7000B without issue.

CM 11

Hi together
Yesterday i got a S5 Mini. I'll use this device for testing and so on...
I searched for cm11 rom and i couldn't find any customrom
Are here other people interested in cm11 on s5 mini?
i never created a customrom til now, but i can help if
somebody needs infos about the device for creating
a cm11 customrom...
stiff
Absolutely!
I'm very interested! This is my only phone at the moment, though, so I can only take limited risks with its entrails.
It's coming eventually I have to finish the bugs we have on the similar device the galaxy light so far it boots .
Whooooo!!!!
Do you, by any chance, mean the G800H (Snapdragon)? I've read elsewhere that CM is unfeasible because of how closed Exynos is, but that's only in the G800F, I believe.
Edit: I got the chipset names confused... Please ignore my post! (PS: There is a G800H Duos solution).

count me in..
I have a S5 mini to test CM-M12
I'd really like to buy this phone, but it has to be rootable and flashable. Does anyone know about the other versions of the device that are talked about (G800M,G800Y)?
ROMS ...
I have the SM-G800F UK model and cannot yet find any roms ...
Maybe at Christmas. :laugh:
We all wait very long.
Would we have the normal S5 we could 7 days a week flash another Rom.
Keeping Hope alive... :good: :angel:
CM 11 (or lollipop)
Are you saying that the 800F version is an Exynos Version and therefore can't be rooted etc.? So no custom ROM? I saw S5 lollipop previews and i seriously start to dislike the colors and modifications of Samsung.

No, both version can be rooted with cwm. The exynos version will have cyanogenmod I have cyanogenmod on the Galaxy Light which also has similar hardware. I'm getting the Galaxy light very soon so I can finish my cm port.

good news. maybe i misunderstood the previous information. i have the 800F version, so if anybody needs something, let me know - i'm not a Dev and might ask questions if I don't understand. cheers
EDIT:
Will it be CM11 (Android 4.4.4) or already CM12 (Android 5.0)?

I already have cm-11 booting on the Galaxy Light. I think I will move to cm-12 when I get at least radio and wifi working.
Hard to believe we'll be getting CM when we didn't even get any normal, simple ROM, with bloatware removed for example xD.
@Unjustified Dev
that sounds really great! i really miss cm on s5 mini.
thx a lot

i think the S5 Mini is in general a great device. perfect size if you don't like huge phones, specs are fine and a great camera for the specs it has. i have seen the lollipop previews and also how it runs / looks on nexus 5. i think the S5 Mini would run lollipop perfectly and it would finally show how good this phone is. but my hope lies in all CM and other Devs and not in Samsung - because the preview of the S5 and S4 with lollipop are just hideous. i would love a clean and lean android 5.0 experience. if those moto E's and G's can run so good with pure android, why shouldn't a samsung S5 mini without touchwiz and bloatware...
@wabre thats my opinon too. i hate the samsung bloatware, but the hardware is fine.
also i don't want a brick as phone. i tested the s5 and compared it with the s5 mini.
the result is, that the s5 mini has everything i need with the right size...
the only thing that i miss is cm on the s5 mini...

rooted
Have mine rooted with twrp, but still no roms available.
have cm11 on my old s3 mini cant wait for it on my s5 mini as thats my daily phone and cyanogen is a fast os.

[Q] What is the best ROM 4.4.4 for Mini 2?

Hello everyone
I'm looking for the best ROM 4.4.4 for my GT-S6500D
Currently I am with AOKP ROM 4.4.4 Nightly "20140914":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=5070#downloads
I'm happy with it but I'm not sure if it is the best rom now, I have attempted to test omni-4.4.4-20141102-jenad-no_internal-NIGHTLY.zip, but after the Samsung logo screen is black ...
When I mean "the best rom" is in flow and appearance.
PD: By chance there any website where updated ROMs out for Mini 2?
For example, Nameless page for Nexus, but it is for Mini 2.
I hope your answer
A greeting.
Well, for me personally, is the latest version 4.4.4 cyanogenmod KitKat.

Galaxy Mini GT-S5770B

Hello, unfortunately my S3 touch stopped working so im using the old Galaxy Mini for a couple of days till i get a new phone, probably LG G5.
I'm looking to tinker with it a bit, so i need to root it and install a custom ROM.
So, whats the difference between the GT-S5770B and GT-S5770I ? can I use this method ?
And what is the FASTEST ROM based on GB, don't want to upgrade it to ICS, JB or anything above. CWM 7.2 seems good, any other ideas ?
