CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

CM-12.0 Install Guide

Note: CM for Galaxy S4 Mini is provided with no warranty. You are installing this software at your own risk. You may be violating your warranty.

Download CM-12.0 and gapps-lp zips and put in /sdcard

• GT-I9190: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=serrano3gxx&type=nightly
• GT-I9195: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=serranoltexx&type=nightly

• UPGRADE REQUIRED
  • Google Apps
    

Before you install CM-12.0: Preparation (First three are optional. If you want to start fresh, these can be skipped)

1. Install AppBak from Market, run it and save a list of all your apps.
2. Install SMS Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your SMS history.
3. Install Call Logs Backup and Restore from Market, run it and backup your call log history.
4. Boot into ClockworkMod recovery. Make a full backup. You will need this backup later if you decide to go back to your previous ROM and data.

WARNING: Many apps will Force Close crash if you restore data from a previous ROM.

Install

1. Use ClockworkMod Recovery.

   • Warning: Only use this recovery to flash CM-12.0. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone!
2. Wipe data and cache.
3. Flash cm-12*.zip.
4. Flash gapps*.zip. You must flash gapps after every upgrade to CM-12.0 since /system is formatted, wiping your previous add-ons.
5. Reboot phone.
6. After you setup your Google account, reinstall the three apps from Market in order to restore most of your apps, call log and SMS history.
7. Warning: Do not restore backup data of system apps!
   • If you restore a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony it can break MMS.
   • It seems that restoring backups can also break Calendar sync.

Upgrades
Upgrades from previous versions of CM-12.0 are the same process as install, except you do not need to wipe anything. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to even wipe cache and dalvik-cache when upgrading between CM-12.0 versions. You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups or corrupt app data.

I would like to know one things please, at the moment I'm on CM12 ROM by F4k. If I want to switch with this official build, I need to wipe all or just do an update as usually ?

Thank you in advance for your reply !

Hey Arco, thank you for the release!
Only one thing - after F4K's unofficial builds (upgraded without full wipe) I noticed that BLN isn't working anymore.
Could you please merge the appropriate code to the kernel? As it's already working in another build, I suppose it shouldn't be very complicated.

F4k's pre4 kernel should work with these builds?

Installing without wiping should probably be ok, but no guarantee as I don't know how different those builds are compared to official CM.

Kernel already has support for BLN.
