I want a perfect rom on my phone a stock lollipop rom and I can't do that without root. I mean have you seen this TouchWiz Oh My Lawd it's horrible, it eats so much ram battery life terrible and sometimes my phone overheats. If anyone could point me to a thread where they found the root or is working on the root and have it. I'll make a donation to the Mastermind who discovered it.

Hi guys
I wanted to flash one of these two cfw on my girlfriends phone.
The thing is that I have limited time to try out both firmwares and I want to know which one you guys prefer.
Tried out both, but honestly I dont know which one to take
Both run pretty smooth in my opinion, but the rom wont be updated on her phone anymore.
Another side question if you dont mind: Is there a good way to have a better network connection for interneting or even improved battery usage??
Dont know if I should flash the Goldenkernel, since im afraid that its unstable or even unefficient.
Let me know about your experience!
Thanks in advice
Dmod V5
dmod v5 is definetly better than benz. and i tried both of them. benz is laggy.
dmod has cool features from s4. internet works great on it(if you have a good wireless router, or data plan).
battery life is very good. i got 4 days and 12 hours on it and still got 24% battery left. and i didn't use power saving.
tryed all roms for s3 mini. even cyanogenmod 10 (which is beta).
this is the best custom rom for sure.

Theres no which is better or which is not, its based on personal preference, do you want the S4 feel or just stock samsung with Benz status bar which i dont like that much so i went back to enox instead
Dont flash the golden kernel, its kinda buggy and still in early development, i recommend flashing CrossBreeder which i dont really know if it helps with lags

Thank you for your answers!
Flashing dmod5 then,
love you guys :victory:
These topics are pointless. Ask in the ROM thread, don't create a new one just to ask a question...
Just give them both a try :good:
I bought a S3 mini recently however the samsung UI is horrible its so sluggish and laggy you won't believe it you can't even open a web browser properly without some kind of lag.
My friend then told me you cannot install any custom roms like cyanogen MOD for my S3 mini because there is a L word at the end of it.
L meaning latin America.
Man I didn't know they had different versions of this thing all the S3 mini looks the same. And I got a good deal on it so I went ahead and bought it.
Its true its a little small at 4 inches but after a while I got used to it. I like it a lot and the shape and heavy feel of it is quite nice.
But wish I could get rid of this bloatware and samsung rom and put in a light and fast custom ROM.
NOT TRUE!
You can flash TWRP or CWM Recovery in Odin and then flash CM, PAC or AOKP even in i8190L.
Those rom's doesn't change your baseband, and as long you're using a i8190L baseband you'll be fine
(You posted in wrong section. It should have been Q&A)

WOW so you are saying I am not screwed? the L don't mean anything and I can actually use all these S3 Mini Roms on my L version? WTF
I taught you needed some sort of Ported ROM for the L version?
Not only CyanogenMod, but also PAC ROM, Ilussion ROM, AOKP ROM.
The ones that didn't work form me were Paranoid Android by Oliver, PAC MAN ROM and CM10.1 by Oliver.
Download the best roms from maclaw's webpage.

WOW thanks a lot man
One thing the thread said you need a specific model number for the roms meaning cyanogem mod designed for L versions else it will brick
Its best I do like everyone else and leave the stock rom and don't interfere with this phone. Cause if something happens I will be wishing I didn't interfere with it.
Doubt any rom can solve android lag anyways. Thats just how android is, only windows phone and ios are lag free.

Bahahahaha that's the stupidest thing I ever heard man.
Just flash AOKP from maclaw.pl and get it over with.
ok I did it
I installed this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400402
was this a good fast rom?
anything else faster?
I noticed its really fast. And the uploader says it works on L version
I can't believe the massive difference it has had. so glad I am rid of this nasty slow ass samsung original rom
I'm using AOKP from maclaw.pl, it's faster and more customizable.
I'm using cyanogenmod 10.1 from maclaw.pl. Its a very great rom without bugs.

WOW thanks a log holy crap this is even faster than the other one
So happy about this website and this new rom
I was gonna sell my S3 mini because I was disgusted with performance you had to wait 2 and a half seconds to return to home screen when you press the home button figured its cause of the garbage Nova Thor CPU in these phones
Then I installed these roms and wow it flies like blazing fast hooooly moly
I still miss my i9100 S2 though. Cause this Mini is much slower in 3D games than the S2. But say what. Main thing is this rom has solved most of my problems.
I kinda miss the shortcut for the brightness adjustment slider in the drop down from samsung rom.
I was afraid of flashing at first but you guys has held my hand every baby step of the way.
I believe this is all I need now, no need for me to put anything else. Vanilla android is pretty much what I wanted.
So happy that nasty 3 second lag delay in the samsung rom is gone like everything you did took an additional 1 to 3 seconds to respond

Glad to hear that
Just so you know, the delay when you press the home button is caused by S voice, you can disable it and its faster
theres also can option in aokp that you can slide across the status bar to set the brightness
How to install ROM 5.1.1
Hi, so I recently got my S3 Mini, and it's a massive improvement over my HTC Wildfire S (obviously ). Only thing is that, like with Sense, I really dislike TouchWiz. I personally think that it looks hideous when compared to stock Android, and it feels quite slow as well.
So I was thinking of maybe switching over to Marclaw's CM11, only thing is that I've never rooted or flashed a custom ROM before. CM11 looks as close to stock Android as I'll get, and I really like the aesthetics, but a big question that I want answering is, is it really worth the hassle? What are the speed boosts like compared to TouchWiz? Night and day or only minimal? What's the stability like? I've been reading the forum, and it seems like many people are having issues with the build. Can it be used comfortably for daily use?
Should I rather practice first on my Wildfire S? I don't want to screw anything up on my S3 Mini.
Last question, are there any good guides for rooting and flashing for people who haven't done it before, specifically for the S3 Mini and Marclaw's CyanogenMod build? Most of the videos I've seen on YouTube are in foreign languages, and because I'm from South Africa, I don't understand what they're saying. Anything else that I've found is outdated.
Thanks
hi there! nice to have a s3 mini. its a modarate phone that you can do most things.
i have installed cm11 one week ago. and i dont have any issues with it. happy with it! its stable and updates daily(thanks maclaw for that)
some people have clockfreeze ,sdcard-missing and battery problems. i dont have theese. its smooth and stable. samsung act like blind to us.
they only work for new devices. but we have maclaw!
that 1ghz bug. cpu stays on 1000 mhz clock and drains battery so fast. there is alternative solutions for that but i dont have that issue and got a good battery life.
there is guides for rooting and flashing that you can find in forums.

Thanks for the info, it actually doesn't look that difficult.
Another question, which is the best way to root? Using this method or this method with CWM
EDIT: So I rooted my HTC Wildfire S, it was super easy (time consuming, but very easy). And apparently HTC are some of the harder devices to root. Going to mess around with some custom ROMs. Still waiting for an answer about which root method for the S3 Mini though...
i flashed root.zip for root. and using maclaw's touch recovery(twrp) easiest way through

Do you have a link for that? Also, which CM version is more stable? 10.2 or 11? I'm going to assume 10.2 right?
----------------------------------------
Wow! So this is what stock Android is like. If it can run with no lag on a 4 year old device, I can't wait to see how it performs on my S3 Mini.
Here's a screenie I took of my Wildfire S:
It's breathed life into a phone that I was ready to dump and hide in a cupboard. Super impressed, so this is what I've been missing out on. And it really wasn't difficult at all, I'm not sure where people get the idea that it's so hard to root. Took me an hour total, and this was my first time.

I rooted mine when I first got it then in 3 months my phone died, hardbricked and the eMMC chip screwed so I got a replacement and I didn't root it and I agree it's really laggy on stock! When it was on CM11 it was so smooth!
Currently own an s5 and wondering how I can speed it up and debloat it. My storage says I only have 12 out of 16 gig left but I hardly have any apps installed. I checked to see what is taking all the space up and is saying other files....another issue I noticed ever since I uprated to lollipop was battery drains faster than usual. What is the best way to remedy these issues? Does the latest update fix any of this or do I need to bounce back to kit Kat or even do a custom rom? If anyone can help I would appreciate it I am on Verizon.

bear in mind how well the g900v fairs in devving
Hi all,
My S4 active recently went on a downward slide, I'm still on 5.0.1 unrooted. I'm having issues with "not registered on network", my battery drains really fast, it's not a very old battery and not a Samsung one either. I'm having problems with it not running modern apps very well. This phone is now my secondary phone but I don't want to let it die.
I'm hoping that I can get a "do this" list from someone to revamp it. I have read that not registered on network can be a battery problem, but then I've also read that there is a bunch of solutions I could need to do.
Anybody know what I need to do?
Cheers.
So...
Downgrade to KitKat, flash with Odin? Re upgrade to Lolipop & install superuser?
& then hopefully bugs will be fixed.
Thanks for the help.
Now as I'm feeling the love here, and I know I'm far above facepalm level, any other corrections, info or tips y'll got for me? (best smile please) :good:
It's a right party here eh?

I'll get my coat then.
These phones are bombers. I'm moving up to the S5 Active which is currently supported by LineageOS. So far I am happy w/it.
