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!

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.
