CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 5.1.1 (LP), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:
* Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 *
BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ROM, MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE MODEL IS THE SAME AS TITLE
IF YOU ASK ANY QUESTIONS LIKE "IS THIS FOR MODEL BLABLABLA" THEY WILL BE ALL IGNORGED
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. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

We'll not support users and answer questions from users which:
  • are running a custom kernel
  • have flashed mods
  • modified system files
  • didn't follow our intructions word by word
  • are unfriendly
  • And most important: DON'T READ THE OP

What's working:
  • Wifi (connection, tethering, etc)
  • Bluetooth
  • Camera, video codecs
  • RIL (Calls, SMS, mobile data)
  • Storage (both internal and external)
  • zRAM (compressed-RAM swap)
  • GAPPS
  • Tethering (USB, Wifi, Bluetooth)
  • GPS
  • Sound recording
  • Torch (flashlight)

Bugs/Not working:
There're lots of bugs, but main are
  • Network doesn't work

First time installing CyanogenMod 12.1 to your Galaxy Star Advance, or coming from another ROM:​
Install TWRP Recovery
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo (Vol-up+Home+Power)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system partition)*
Install the ROM from sdcard using TWRP Recovery
Optionally install the Google Apps ( get it here: https://opengapps.org ) (pico GAPPS recommended)

You can fix this bug manually
Just on airplane mode now open dialer app and dial *#*#4636#*#*
Now tap on Phone information and then click (turn on radio) when its on
Choose WCDM preferred and click (turn off radio)
After then close it and turn off airplane mode

Now your network bug is fixed.
