Alright,
So i've been on my Nexus 4 for the past year and my brother took my SGS,
I'm currently on Jelly Bean and want to know if the upgrade to KitKat has the performance improvements that was claimed with the release.
You know, easier to run on lower mem devices and such.
Also, what must I look out for?
Do I need a special kernel to upgrade before, or update my recovery to some different version, or is there a higher risk of bricking/losing my efs than the usual download/flash? Can I easily downgrade to JB/ICS?
Thanks
Hello!
For me CM11 is faster than 10.1.3 and 10.2, additionally it's more united. Smaller amount of lags, and despite the fact it's nightly, ROM is pretty stable Of course wipe is mandatory, so back up everything.
Buckle up and enjoy CM11 Best regards.
EDIT: Flash any KK kernel if status 7 error.
Hi Roastmeat,
I've been using either cm 10.2 and cm11 on my Galaxy s i9000 and believe me you really will be surprised when updating the phone to Android 4.4 Kitkat (CM11). It really is a big improvement in terms of speed. It will breath new life in your Galaxy S
On highend devices you won't notice such a big increase in speed, but since kitkat was developed to support even more low end devices, the positve effects are noticed even more on "older" devices e.g. the Galaxy S.
Greetings!
My advice: stay away from Android 4.3 ( for example CM10.2) as it is the slowest Android version for our phones. Pick a ROM based on Android 4.2 ( for example CM10.1) or Android 4.4 (for example CM11) . I would suggest Android 4.4 , because our device really feels the benefit from it's optimisations.

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...

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.

The newest version of snapchat requires at least Android 4.0
Is there any possible way I can update my OS on my exhibit ii from my current version, 2.3.6. to Android 4.0?
I read a lot of posts about rooting and such but I really don't understand what it is or how to do it
If someone could provide me with a fix for the snapchat issue (running it on my current OS) or detailed instructions on how to safely root my device to run Android 4.0 on my phone then I will be the happiest girl in the world!
Please please please help! I just want snapchat back
My phone's baseband version is : N920CXXU5CRL1
I cant find myself a suitable rom for me. I want it to close to stock android rom as possible but higher version of it since samsung gave up on releasing more updates on note5.
I want to find android 9.0 but no root or extra features sole android 9.0 because I play a game called Fate grand order which is nightmare of all rooting and custom roms.
Also is it possible to install higher version of android without changing kernel on it?
Hey all,
I hadn't used my Tab S in a while since the battery was shot and I mostly forgot about it; I've since replaced the battery, and want to give it another whirl. I've been out of the scene for a while, as will be evidenced by the following build information:
CM Version 12.1-20160529-Nightly-chagallwifi
Android Version 5.1.1
Kernel Version 3.4.105-g766de8b
I want to upgrade to something newer, but I'm not sure if I can simply flash a new ROM over such an old build - or if I'm just overthinking things, and that's exactly what I would do.
Also looking for recommendations on what people think might be a good upgrade.
Thanks.
