what can we remove on this device? and how do you did that?
a list of unnecessary files and data would be awesome :)

Depends on what u dont need
Download lucky patcher. . Removes all u need.. even licens verification. System/etc/hosts when replaced removes adds overall

Ill post that lite rom later today. .very lite..samsung services and bloatware removed.. + most adds in apps and browser

Hello,

The latest rooted ROM works like a charm! I've flashed it for less than 5 minutes.

Cheers!

Yep, works perfectly! ;)

I feel that it's a tiny bit faster than the last one, but that is probably related to the fact that I did a factory reset before installing and not to the actual updates included in the rom... Then again, I installed most of my apps back and it still feels speedier...

I dunno, is it just my imagination?

I also felt that this version is faster.
actually , my device is Galaxy 2 ..
I just work a lot with all Samsung devices. I work for an importer in Israel, and I need to create hebrew firmwares for all the devices we sell. so i toke one galaxy s iii nini to try root it.
but although I do not use this device daily, when i installed this update it felt more faster.

    Hi Evryone.

    Until somebody will release CWM Recovery or root for this device, I managed to create a pre-rooted firmware.
    This firmware base on the last build for I8190, is a full firmware exactly like the original, except the root.
    after flash you will see the SuperSU app in the app drawer.

    flashing this firmware do not doing wipe data. you will not lose anything.
    also, this flash not increase your download binary count.


    This file will work on any firmware/baseband.

    Caution!
    This is only to the I8190, not I8190T or I8190N


    base on - XXAMG1.

    Installation instructions

    • Download the zip file above and extract to some folder, you should receive a tar file. (Extract by double click on the 7z exe file)
    • Open odin 3 (attached) and put the tar file in pda.
    • Put the divece into download mode. (vol down + home + power button, and then click on vol up)
    • Connect phone to usb and wait for odin detect the device.
    • Click start.

    p.s.
    For some reason in some models it's impossible in this device to boot into recovery mode (by combination of buttons).
    If you want to do wipe data doing it from the settings menu (factory reset) or if you have a boot loop problem, flash the attached file WIPE_I8190.zip (the tar file inside zip) via odin in pda, it will do wipe data automaticly.

    Who happened to him soft brick as result of wrong flash (for example cf-root of I9300) and the phone stuck on boot, first flash root file and after this flash param_i8190.tar (attached). it will fix it.

    Enjoy

    I did not make any change in the kernel or recovery, just decompile system img, adding root files with the right permissions and recompile again.

    Ok, so... where's the firmware ??
    press on download button in the nain post, it's a link.

    Hi guys!

    I am presently working on i9070, which is the same platform as S3 Mini (NovaThor)
    I have merged the i9070 and S3 Mini sources, so we can have the same Kernel features on both the devices since they are derived from the same platform.
    I need a tester and the stock boot.img/zImage/kernel.bin (whichever format is used) from stock ROM.
    Please attach it here, and PM me if a tester is interested.
    You can checkout my other work in the links in my sig.

    Got lots of plans if things work out well ! :)

    That sounds just great! Unfortunately I don't think I've got the time to be a regular tester, but hopefully someone will reply with a PM :D
    For now, all I can do is to provide a boot.img
    Downloaded it. I've got a Kernel build ready. If anyone wants to test it, PM me ASAP.
