OK, so yesterday I flashed the new ANA2 firmware and immediately saw that it uses much less RAM resources than the previous versions. Although the only downside is that it returns everything to stock (there isn't a pre-rooted one yet). And by "everything" I mean EVERYTHING : no more root ; stock recovery and a bunch of annoying apps and bloatware. So you gotta install CWM (or TWRP) again, through ODIN, then you gotta root your phone, again, with Chainfire's SuperSU app through the custom recovery. And finally you gotta install an app like Freezer to disable the bloatware (NOTE-Google Maps and Google Magazines need to be deleted from .../system/app, because for some reason they won't stay freezed after a reboot). The other thing is (at least with me) that the official samsung boot and shutdown logo are replaced by ones from Movistar (it's an operator?) and the boot up sound is missing, but if you dig a bit here in xda, you'll find a post for the Galaxy S2 which has all the S3 Mini original animations needed to restore your phone's boot and shutdown logo If you really want the boot sound back, again search a bit here and you'll find a post which has a collection of S3 system sounds (which are the same as our S3 Mini's) and you just have to copy the file "PowerON.ogg" to ...system/media/audio/ui replacing the existing one. I think it's just better to replace the whole "audio" folder, 'cause there might be some other sounds missing.
And yeah, that's about it about the new firmware. Please note that I've downloaded this http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/24398/Galaxy_S_3_Mini/GT-I8190/XEC/I8190XXANA2.html version of the ANA2 firmware, so changes may vary between other versions of it.
If you can't find the posts for the original sounds and boot stuff, ask in this thread and I'll upload them to mediafire and post links here

well, actually no. They've added a few more apps but you can get rid of them either with Freezer or by deleting them from system/app
Either way, you MUST be rooted
Ah oke , do you might know witch apps i get new? becaus i have been notified on my Phone that an update is available . Im currious
Fresh version of baseband, and this would be for I8190, not I8190N model, right ?
Dont ask how i know, but flashing wrong version is a really really bad idea........

yes. everything is fresh and the above one is for the GT-I8190, but there is a ANA1 firmware for your I8190N model Here it is : http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/24083/Galaxy_S_3_Mini/GT-I8190N/TMZ/I8190NXXANA1.html

well, I remember getting Google Magazines, for sure, but i forgot if there are any others. Tomorrow I'll flash ANA2 again as I wanna have the ANA2 kernel (currently on bln one) for better performance. Will let you know before I start freezing and deleting them
ok, so I reinstalled ANA2 and there are a few new apps like : Gun Bros , Google Magazines , Emotico , Mucika and Movistar
Thanks , but so the unwanted apps grow more ... i believe its almost time for me to excualy search somebody in real life that can root .
Can the new firmware help my battery to last longer? becaus my Phone's battery only last for 7 hours ...

I think it helps, but can't tell exactly as I've got apps that save up battery. Here's my setup :
DU Battery Saver PRO (paid ; needs root) - only turned on the Low CPU Frequency When Screen Locked option
Boosters Plus Battery Saver PRO (paid ; needs root) - Turned on all boosters (Double booster on ones which have that option)
Tasker (paid) - i use it so that my phone goes into Airplane Mode from 00:00 to 07:00 and to turn on 3G only when I launch specified apps
Battery Saving Build.prop Tweaks (...system/build.prop) - add the following lines at the very end of the build.prop file, then save it and reboot -->
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
pm.sleep_mode=1
With the above settings and the new firmware I got 5% drain from 23:00 to 07:00, which is amazing for me. The trick is to be able to use your phone without it lagging or lacking features, but when the screen turns off, all the above mentioned things take effect and greatly preserve battery life.
P.S. I can tell you how to root your phone it it's the international GT-I8190 version. I've even got all the stuff needed on my PC if you can't find something.
Oke thanks ,
I have never used custom rom . So i first gonne see if the new firmware thingy can help and otherwise i install custom rom

I was like that 'bout a year ago, but yesterday I remembered that there is nothing better than the latest stock firmware for a device. With all custom roms that i've tried FF6 and a bunch of other games and the whole UI lagged very much. As of yesterday, it runs smooth again (just like when I bought my phone).
Ah oke good to know
I'm installing it now... but can u plz share the link for boot and sounds staff

Yeah i know, but the only thing that prevents me from switching is that there is no TouchWiz in CM (and i love touchwiz launcher) xD
Anyway, i was talking about how the newest STOCK firmware is better than the other STOCK ones.
Currently waiting for DModv7, though
does anybody know a way to enable 4way reboot for this latest firmware?

Dont know. I think its may be just stability and performance.
How to root this firmware? Unable by the old method.
Oh come on Samsung screwed up something again.
The media process is running all the time.
The only Roms I can use are pure stock NA5 or AOSP.
I think I´ll smash that phone against a wall soon :crying:
I've found an NEW FEATURE,it's Fast Boot or something,translated from Chinese.
Many other phones have this features
Maybe needs support from bootloader or kernel?

And how's it?
It´s the fastest Firmware I´ve ever had on my phone.
But it seems my phone don´t want these Roms on it´s NAND.
It just keeps scanning my sdcard. I have already cleaned the SD and formatted it,
Same thing with every custom 4.3 Rom and Stock 4.1.2.

Well, for now everything is perfect, when debloated, ram usage is the same, also might be a placebo but i think it is smoother, and about battery life it's on 44% now and 23h on battery with 2:40 screen on time and heavy usage (games, video, social, photos).
The camera 'bug' is still present with autobrightness fail, but all in all it's tiny bit better than ND5.

They said it in overall,or like it's an example of what could be fixed,but they didn't exactly point that new firmware improves performance.
Gotta review more opinions,because reflashing the ROM adds too many work for me (debloating again,enabling all xposed modules,some backups,losing save games of some games which don't have cloud save,changing system sounds myself and etc.)

Hi, you can easily restore your saved games. Only make a backup of the game or program folder in (ROOT) /data/data/name of aplication. After, only restore this folder that your saved games and programs preferences will return...

How impressions of Use this soft?
Hi all,
Actually this is a 2 part question.
I just updated my i9505 to CM12 lollipop.
1. This is a minor problem out of the 2. The internal storage bar shows a wrong proportion. As you can see, I have 1.81GB available but it's taking up half the meter bar for some reason.
2. From the photos you can see I have 13.31GB available on my external SD card, yet when I tried to move some apps from internal storage to SD, lollipop is giving me an error saying "Couldn't move app. Not enough storage space." Which is obviously not true. I also tried using Link2SD but it gave me an message saying "INSTALL_FAILED_CONTAINER_ERROR".
If anyone could give me some advice on how to fix the mentioned problems I will be very grateful.
Thank you in advance,
Nelson

Hello All,
I am a long time user of custom ROMs for my devices, as I'm sure most here are. I have had my Shield tablet (wifi only 16gb version) since January, and in that time I have tried many ROMs. The only one that has allowed app to be installed onto the SD was the rooted stock Lollipop. I have tried, PAC (KK and LP beta), CM12, and ASOP 5.0. All fresh installs of these ROMs have lead to the infamous 'Couldn't Move app. Not enough Storage Space.'.... Therefore, I am waiting patiently for a solid ROM that allows App2SD. Keep up the good work!
What is the point of develop and release a Rom with memory leak??
I see this issue when I open webpages on Facebook or consult content via Play Kiosco,
also the battery drains faster and also it heats up
as I see no matter how much they work on that ROM. the problem still will remain
if Im wrong please tell me, because I'm thinking of downgrade my smartphone to 4.4.2

Workarounds have been found for the memory leak. There's even an Xposed module that's supposed to fix the issue.
The memory leak is old news.
And it's google who messed up, not the guys here at XDA.

my comment wasn't for the guys of XDA at all, I mean why Samsung keep releasing updates of a ROM with that issues, I read about that fix with exposed, but until yesterday there was not any method for installing it on touchwiz ROMs
I already did the downgrade, but if the exposed fix works, that would be great, I like the lollipop experience, but stability is more important

Touchwiz doesn't have the memory leak issue. The memory leak was caused by the boot animation. Samsung uses a different boot animation format (qmg) for their animation. That's probably why.

I installed from sammobile the Russian one because it comes with spanish language included:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46518/I9500XXUHOD4_I9500SERHOD4_SER/
I tried with stock ROM and custom ROMs based on this firmware like which seems the latest versión, seriously I installed them like 3 or 4 times getting the same result
which one are you using??? does it comes with spanish language?
The memory leak was caused by the boot animation.
Hello,
I have a G2 D802 International version (more info in the end of the post)
Rom is CloudyG2 v3.3 Android 5.0.2, but the problem is not related to this rom only, as it was also present with the Stock ROM.
I face a lot of slowdowns and a poor battery life even with the phone left on standby.
I don't recall that the same happened on Kitkat.
Things I tried:
- Clearing/wiping the cache partition, only closing all running apps makes it faster again but for a short while.
- Use Watchdog task manager to check if an app consumes CPU but it doesn't show something specific.
PS: I always do a full wipe when installing a new rom
Question is, how can I effectively check which app/process consumes cpu/battery.
Phone: LG G2 D802 (International) 16Gb version.
Rom: CloudyG2 v3.3
Android 5.0.2
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build number: SRKDeBloatG2-2-00.TomYum-Kung
Root: rooted.
Recovery: TWRP
Apps that may be left open in the background(if it matters):
Google maps, Outlook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Facebook, Chrome.
but these have been always the same, even when the performance was OK on kitkat
Just uninstall all apps you don't need. Like Facebook etc. Just go to the mobile page of the ones you need.
Also you can do a full wipe, internal sd card included. Then transfer install files to phone in TWRP. Than flash again. Don't use backup for the apps and install just the ones u need.
good luck!

Thanks @PhoenixNLx, I already wiped everything before, it comes back again.
as of the Apps I need them all, I did for sometime use facebook's website instead of the app, but the other apps I do need them.
I just wish if someone could guide me how to hunt down this problem by knowing the cause.
I also read that some performance problems were fixed in 5.1.1, so I would appreciate if anyone recommends a rom.

sorry when I meant I'll be waiting for a stable rom, I meant without the early bugs in CM which are still not totally fixed,
but I think I'll lose my temper with my phone and install your rom after a week from now
Update for anyone viewing this thread in the feature,
I've installed Bliss Rom 6.0 (android 6.0 Marshmallow) and it has been a week since then,
the rom speed, battery usage and features are amazing and I don't face any slowness anymore.
Great to know! For future reference also there is an app called wakelock detector tells you what's eating your battery life

Question, if you are not rooted what is a good app that detects what's eating your battery life? I'm losing 15% on avg during the night and as far as I know nothing is running (bluetooth/location is off) and the phone is left in the same spot.
I had the same problems with the stock rom, but with CyanogenMod 12.1 I neither had battery problems nor slowdowns, the same with CM 13 nightlys now. On average, my g2 reaches up to 2 days battery running time.?
