Hi buddy and first of all thanks for this noob friendly tutorial. I have a question related to KitKat, as you would probably know Google want everybody to use navigation bar and a menu button in the app's interface but in our phone the menu button it's located physically and I personally got used to it like that, I don't like it in the app's interface in KitKat my question is: you know someway to hide it? Thanks in advance man!

Hi bud,
Don't understand you very well, but go to system settings-buttons-check allow custom buttons & then you can redefine what actions you want to the menu button (& the other buttons too).

Hi, I'm not really sure where to ask this but are there any stable, working custom ROMs for the S3 mini? I've tried Maclaw's CM 11.0 but the clock freeze issue is a deal breaker, so I went back to 10.2. However in this version the GPS seems to be REALLY slow at getting coordinates, and it has sound issues (some ringtones won't play, alarm doesn't play). Issues resolve after a reboot.

In any case, for my purposes I just need a ROM that doesn't cause my phone to reboot randomly and has all the basic functionality working. Does something like that exist or do I have to go back to the stock ROM?

I hope you're not asking which is the best rom, because it is not allowed on xda. Regarding cm11 I don't have any issue with it. For the alarm you need to uncheck automatic date & time & time zone, then the alarm don't freeze, gps is working fine for me too & of course I don't have a reboot nor any type of random reboots, at all. So, as you can see I have a totally different behavior with the same rom as you. BTW, cm11 it's still a baby, so you need to be patient until it is fully stable. Happy new year!

Might be kind of a stupid answer but can't you just turn your phone off before putting him in the charger?

Yes without the charger I can turn it off

It's a known "bug", maclaw is aware of it & will fix it soon. I hope:p

I can't seem to get pie control working. I have the navigation bar, and expanded desktop turned on. The navigation bar disappears when it isn't used. But I'm not able to find the pie control settings. I'm using the latest CM 11 by Maclaw.

I tried installing LMT, but I can't seem to find the right input device.

Should pie control be included in a CM rom? Or is LMT the program to use and if so, which input device should be selected?

CM11 hasn't pie controls (yet), only navigation bar. Pie controls are only present on cm10.1 & cm10.2. Remember that cm11 is still a "baby", so many features aren't merged yet, maclaw can't do nothing about it. Be patient.

Now I'm not sure if this has been addressed or not but anyways I installed cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.2) on my galaxy s3 mini. It's an great ROM but been having couple of issues that if anyone here can help me out. First one is that the ROM in general is kinda laggy, so want to know is this with everyone or just me and second issue is with UC Browser app which I don't know but it's not working properly. When I open any site a blue screen comes up, so please anybody that can help me out.

Laggy cm11!? You must be kidding me:laugh: Not here. Regarding the browser, simply use another one or try to clear the data of your browser. Anyway I use dolphin without any issue at all.

If I already have a CM11 (20140106) and I want to install a new one, I know I do not have to wipe but... Would I need to reinstall all the apps once it's updated? I mean, apps will be deleted if no wipe is made and just updated from an older version of the same ROM?

Thank you very much.

    Hi people,
    I hope this can help those who ask some common questions in all threads or just don't read the OP or the OP hasn't Q&A, so let's start.

    Q: How to install/update Cyanogenmod roms?
    A: Follow this tutorial.

    Q: Where can I find Gapps?
    A: Here, here, here or here. For light gapps go here.

    Q: How to enable the developer options?
    A: Settings>About phone> click 7 times on build number.

    Q: How to enable advanced reboot?
    A: Go to: System settings->Developer options->Advanced reboot.

    Q: Advanced reboot doesn't work for me. Any solution?
    A: Yes, take a look here (3 Button Combo).

    Q: Where can I find the latest baseband for I8190, I8190N or I8190L?
    A: Here.

    Q: After installing CM rom I have no signal. Any solution?
    A: Here (Pit file & Modem folder).

    Q: What is the Panda application (CM10.2)?
    A: It's for saving battery, it disable one core & sets the governor to ondemand.

    Q: I have the "1Ghz bug", how to fix it?
    A: Reboot the device with wifi off. If for some reason still doesn't work change the governor & the scheduler to Pegasusq + Sio or Deadline. You can also try this app, it will solve your problem permanently, for sure.

    Q: How to enable softkeys haptic feedback?
    A: Softkeys haptic feedback is disabled by default. You need to follow this tutorial to enable it.

    Q: How to enable automatic brightness?
    A: Download this app.

    Q: After install CM11 my clock froze! Any solution?
    A: Uninstall Lockclock.apk from system apps or try that:
    - Keep the phone plugged on charger/pc
    - Keep mobile data (3G/2G) on
    - Keep wifi on

    Q: How to disable the buttons backlight?
    A: Go to system settings-buttons-backlight & uncheck "Illuminate buttons".
    If don't work for you, download BLN control from Google Play Store, here.

    Q: I installed CM10.1/CM10.2/CM11 rom but I can't find radio fm app. Any solution?
    A: Yes. Download Spirit FM Free from here.
    Do that only if it doesn't work with the default settings:
    1 - If you are in Europe: Settings->Band->World... (Anyone).
    2 - Settings->Audio->Method->Galaxy S3/Note/S2_ICS.

    Q: How to enable the pie controls & navigation buttons?
    A: First you need a file explorer, then add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to /system/build.prop & reboot the phone to activate the on screen buttons (Navigation Bar). Then go to Settings>System>Power menu>Expanded desktop & activate it & then you will see pie control in the Settings>System menu.

    Q: I want to try other kernel, but I can't because of F2FS. What can I do?
    A: Take a look here & here.

    Q: How to keep Xposed Framework installed after update the rom?
    A: Read this.

    Q: Where can I find amazing themes for TWRP recovery?
    A: Here, here & here.

    Q: How can I help the development of any ROM?
    A: Not with, "+1", "FC", "me too", "same bug here", blablabla. These comments are USELESS.

    Q: So, how can I really help?
    A: Simple. Remember doing this you're helping the developer & yourself, you're intelligent, so you understand what I'm saying, right!?!

    Do that in the right ROM thread:

    Phone model:
    Baseband version:
    ROM version:
    Did you?
    wipe:
    restore with titanium backup:
    reboot after having the issue:
    Are you using?
    a task killer:
    the kernel (boot.img) in the zip or other:
    Settings/Performance settings (other than default):
    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    But the most important thing is this: attach a LOGCAT of the problem.

    Q: Ok nice, but I’m noob & I don’t know how to LOGCAT, where can I learn?
    A: Here, here or stop being lazy & search in XDA forums.

    Battery Saving Tips: Here or you can take a look here & put an end to the problems with the battery:D

    I'd spent the entire day doing searches on how to root my phone, got all sorts of information in my brain and some of the questions were more confirmatory and leading to to 3&4. My phone isn't in English and I'm not that familiar with the android vocabulary so sometimes I just can't think of specific search terms and honestly just can't find anything. Being tired doesn't help :) Thanks for your help though! Now I've got a fresher brain so lets see if I can now find what I'm looking for a bit easier.

    P.S. it's short for "how the app was before switching to cyanogenmod" ;)
    I think you are still new you will get habituated with this stuff and if u want to go to cm rom backup with twrp/cwm (whatever) so even if u r stuck at something, u can easily restore and ive got a trick for you
    1. get the android folder inside sd card to save data and all apks (in my sense manual method is safe method )
    2. use this app (i know you will like it) and
    3. swipe left in the app and you will see user app tab
    4. in user app there will be your installed apps in apks

    any questions ??? just pm me and get used to search bars

    Hi, is it possible to remove gapps completely without doing a full wipe? I'm using maclaws latest cm 10.2 with his gapps.
    Wanna try if NOGAAPS work with my s3mini. Did anybody tried this already on our device?
    Thanks

    You can delete '70-gapps.sh' at system/addon.d and flash cm again. So gapps will not be kept.

    Have fun!
