Your baseband will be fine and as long as you have the right model for this thread an follow instructions precisely you will be good, yes there is always risk but this ROM is near enough spot on, take the jump , you'll be happy.

No one is asking you to use any custom ROM, its your choice an so what if they earn a few quid from some advertising, do they not deserve that, they dedicate they time and knowledge into this community and more than most are thankful and happy. Get a grip man
The model of my device is I9195, which appears to be correct for this thread so I will give it a go, thanks!Your baseband will be fine and as long as you have the right model for this thread an follow instructions precisely you will be good, yes there is always risk but this ROM is near enough spot on, take the jump , you'll be happy.
Well, most device maintainers/developers, like me, are not working for CM and are doing this as a hobby and on their free time. Imagine if I got like $1 from everyone that installed the ROM, then I could maybe make a living of it. But I don't, so I'm still just as broke as before.
That would be great. Thank you very much.
Here you go.. you can create a folder S4MiniSettings and place the apk inside but it should be okay just to place it directly in system/app.
Then set folder permissions to rwxr-xr-x, apk rw-r-r--
Edit: read post #96 first..

As BLN issue is now fixed (thank to Arco one more time), I'd like to pinpoint the problem I mentioned briefly some time ago.
"Vibrate on hang up" feature of the caller app isn't working. In fact, non of three "vibrate" features actually works. This is only valid for this exact app, vibration in general works fine in all other places. Does anyone else experience it?
Besides, I remember that very first F4K's build of CM12 didn't have such problem, and it appeared a couple of builds after that. And now it persists in official branch as well.

One thing I am confused about it where it says to flash the two .zip files in step #3 and #4. Do I flash those in Odin, or is there a option in ClockworkMod Recovery to flash those from SD card? I want to make sure before I start. Also, My device is already rooted but not with ClockworkMod Recovery so can I install ClockworkMod Recovery and skip the flashing with Odin of the root in the ClockworkMod Recovery thread?
I'm not sure how you originally rooted your phone as in which method you used, most require cwm, you don't use Odin to root , you use Odin to get cwm then get root by flashing with cwm. Here's the link to cwm / root instructions to make what I'm saying more clear.

How I rooted was different I didn't need cwm. All I did, was used the AP button in Odin to flash "CF-Auto-Root-serranolte-serranoltexx-gti9195.tar.md5" and then my phone restarted and was rooted, even used a root checker to make sure. So I just installed cwm now and it appears my phone is still rooted, so I believe I am good to go. What is strange though after installing cwm the colours seem a tiny bit more "washed out" (not sure what else to call it).
EDIT: Changed my screen settings and the colour seemed to of gone back to normal. Going to go ahead with installing the custom rom.

Now when you flash cm12 in cwm, if once its done it says it broke root would you like to fix, choose no, it may not but if it does choose no, its not broke. If you choose yes it won't boot. Once booted go to about an tap build number 7 times to activate developer options, in developer options go to root an change to your preference, either just apps or apps an adb, once that's done root is functional but not to its full ability, I found some root apps wouldn't work with the built in root option so I installed supersu and all works as it should
I just did everything to the letter, and I am now on the boot screen where it has the blue cyanogenmod logo and the spinning arrow. Not sure how long this boot screen is supposed to take so I am a little worried.

Just took the battery out and started the phone up again and now it is on the "Android is upgrading screen" and optimising the apps so I think it might be working now.
Yeah this is my first time doing it so I was a little paranoid but it all worked and I am now on Android 5.0.2! Thanks for all the replied guys especially Tony that spent a lot of time answering all of my questions.
EDIT: I must admit that I do kind of miss the UI of the Samsung Galaxy device's official rom but I am sure this newer version of android will be worth it.

Was gonna say I bet its booted by the time I noticed an replied to your post, it does take a little while to boot after flashing an the same when you upgrade ROM but normal boot is fine.also if you don't like the ui try apex launcher an add some custom icons, loads of custom options with apex launcher too, then add some fonts with ifont from the market. Go ahead with what I said about root now and also if you have battery drain issues let me know an I'll give you some steps to follow cool .
If I were to have the battery drain issue would it be very noticeable? I ask because for a while the screen will be turned on while I install my apps, do all their settings and try the apex launcher you mentioned so I imagine my battery will be getting drained anyway.

Does this rom really take so much internal storage? Apparently I only have just over 1GB free but on the default, offical rom of 4.4.2 I had around 4GB I think it was.

My battery does seem to be gong down quickly. Also it is saying my available storage is pretty low, something around 1GB when there should be a lot more. I have 5.42GB of available space but when I addup what is being used for apps, photos, etc, it should not be using up anywhere near 4GB of space.
EDIT: Got my available space back. Turns out that factory reset/wipe didn't actually delete everything in my phone storage. Now I just need to figure out how to fix the battery drain (assuming that is why my battery is going down quick... The queen is constantly on while I fiddle around afterall.)

10Arco, I don't think you'll ever be thanked enough for all the work you have done for the S4 mini. I mean it. Many, many, many thanks and please keep it up for as long as you can because plenty of us appreciate what you're doing. I'm part of a big silent majority (longtime lurker of the XDA forums, never poster) and I've made this account just to tell you this.8

I'm sorry but you do realise these are nightlies right? Like not 100% stable, there's issues. Get use to it. Stop complaining and GTFO.
Or accept it and just be grateful.7
Wow. So what will you do if it's removed from CM11 as well? ☺
Anyway, it will return in next nightly. But for it to work properly you will have to turn off ambient display.
Of course, eventually the camera app will be much improved. CM12 is still just in the beginning, so don't expect everything to be on par with CM11 yet.6
Agree, same here. Is there any shortcut to switch between normal and vibrate mode? Again, F4K's build did have such feature in power off menu.
But how will we handle situations when e.g. you came from another room and there is some new message in your phone? Without persistent notification it's just impossible, you'll anyway have to power on the screen to check and be sure if there are any new events. All "ambient display" feature does - is just lighting up screen for few seconds. It doesn't leave any persistent signs, and it just cannot compare at all with simple and clear BLN notification feature. Besides, almost the same functionality could have been achieved even before LP with 3-d party apps, but it didn't show itself useful, at least for me.
I bet most people would have chosen BLN if they were asked. If you think in the same way, please vote for this message.

Bug found - vibrate on hang up doesn't work.
