The best custom rom for xperia mini, pro, activa , and lww has been kamarush's MINICMSandwich lite AOSP, today he released his v3 kernel and v4 Rom, (thank you kamarush!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
however there are a couple of things which we liked about the v3 rom (original aosp lite) and it has been changed/removed on the v4, i humbly request kamarush to took a look at this, im sure there are other ppl who feel the same way too (pleaze!)
minicmsandwich_se_aosp_lite VS update_minicmsandwich_lite_final
advantages in older version (aosp lite)
1)automatically downloaded internet settings for gprs date (v4 doesnt) , so that means for users who dont have wifi, we have to manually configure apn settings (not easy in india) and no file manager included so without data we cant even install applications to try on v4 rom!!!! (if no wifi)
2)live wallpapers excluded (the ics bubbles, and phase beam lwp are hard to find over the internet (in .apk format)
3)rom v3 felt more complete... let me elaborate on this one :
The New "Rom Control" included in v4 ... some of the options dont work properly ... like changing recent apps window to palm os stlyle, or sense style) , dont work , enabling boot screen wont work, (automatically checks "disable" after restart), the option to include auto kill all apps in recent wont work, and also the brightness control in the pull down bar is awkwardly aligned right (with no brightness icon on the left) , and THE whole ROM doesnt feel as lite as the v3. in v3 we could make the pull down bar look super cool , by flashing ics reloaded patches (google it) . // its okay to exclude all the AOKP rom control complications and revert back the previous version ...original aosp lite (was de best)
4)the contacts app in v4 aosp final lite has a ugly white and light blue ui rather than the dark black and ics blue ui like in the initial cmsandwich aosp lite. No options for "only display contacts with phone number" so contacts displays all the crap in ur google contacts...
Disadvantages Of v3
1)auto ration 2)camera 3)gsm data 4)vid recording 5)HD playback in gallary 5) games
A Perfect Custom Rom For These Devices (im a noob, or i would do it myself, so i rely on experts like kamarush for the job)
1)SE application installer , or samsung like file manager pre installed
2)auto gprs settings dowloading
3)stock camera, music app installed
4)may include DSP manager
5)all HW features fully working
6)may not include complicated features like "rom control" (aokp stuff)
7)may include "reloaded ics" status bar patches (only worked wid previous cm sandwich lite)
8)2.0 ghz overclock
9)may include cm7 like simpleness in changing lock screen, battery icon n stuff , also cm7 like settings (i haven't seen cm9 settings yet)
10)sticks closely to stripped down ics stock looks (dark blue and cayan blue lines)
//basically put ...all we want is a clean CM9 for xperia mini/mini pro/lww
kamarush AOSP lite Final :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
advantages : latest patches n os, all hw working,
kamarush AOSP lite (v3) previous version :
http://goo.im/devs/kamarush/MiniCMSandwich_Lite
disadvantages: auto rotation,cam,gsm data not working.
advantages : much more lite, n simple, contacts app looks good and has option to display names with phone numbers only,
better looking status bar (supports
reloaded ics status bar patches )

Index
Hi, this ROM it's now featured on the Index of ROMs from the Android Development Forum.
Any observation please send me a PM.
Ran this overnight, 8 hours screen off, 3% battery lose. Not bad Very happy with that
I've only been running this for a couple of hours, but damn is it nice and smooth. And such a small file package too. Very fast, responsive. Only thing I've noticed is that it does heat up a little using the latest Siyah, but seems to cool back down pretty quick. Great work Dev! Will let you know how things progress in a couple of days.
no bugs till now...really fast and smooth..nice job..
currently running this rom only...will report back after some more testing
nice fast and smooth . thanks a lot . hopefully upgrade to 4.1.2

4.1.2 is in the works, but want to get it perfect before releasing, don't really see the point in releasing something that can't be used as a day to day rom. Hope you all understand but i'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
Currently cooking Siyah straight into this rom for people that would prefer, also including ExTweaks.
running excellent..
nice on battery also
my suggestions for next release:
aroma installer with options to install things such as inverted gapps,launcher,file managers..
ohh yess..i forgot to report some glitches..i encountered fc of contacts.apk and youtube.apk (both inverted)..but now everything is fine..
also i would like you to wait till samsung releases official jb for s2 or we get some leaks (before your next rom)
using dorimanx 5.89 and nova launcher

Credits started on main post... Thanks for checking out the rom
Okay I've run this Rom for a day or so now, and all I can say is WOW! Battery life on this ROM is PHENOMENAL! 15hours and I'm down to 67% with medium usage, eg: Browsing net, listening to music, lots of texts, a few phone calls at 15 mins each, and browsing the play store. Also haven't had any force close issues, and no spazzing out like other Roms. Brilliant work my friend! This will be my daily driver until you decide to release 4.1.2.
Hi friends. Will certainly try this rom, but only tho questions: is the memory leak rpoblem solved? and is the rill-crash problem solved in this release? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Install Instructions
Make sure you have a custom CWM Recovery & your device is rooted (if you have custom CWM Recovery then chances are that 99% that your device is rooted).
If you are coming from XXLSJ Samsung ROM No need to Wipe Data
If you are coming from GB/AOSP/AOKP (ICS or JB) Roms or a Samsung 4.0.3/4.0.4 builds you MUST wipe data
UPDATE:
Sorry for being away guys, I know so many of you waited for this rom, I was away and had some issues in my life which needed to be sorted out.
My S2 unit broke after I had an accidental fall from a bus and the whole unit is cracked and broken.
So sadly I have come to a conclusion to discontinue this ROM as without a device I really cannot blindly release it to you guys.
Again my sincerest apologies.
Screens? Sounds promising will give it a whirl when it is released
Nice to see developers keep coming! Definitely gonna try this as my second ROM first, because I love the S3 look!
If you could port call record, it can be so useful for lots of people. At least for me
waiting

ok, so what do we do now? flash a TAR rom with Odin?
I've also had bootlop. Coming from JellyBam
Bootloop here too.
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
So we dont know flashing a new Rom or Something's wrong with this Rom lol
boot lpop here too - instal as second rom
For all the bootloops
the solution for THE BOOTLOOPS for me was simple...(i also got the bootloops)
i wiped at first... and got bootloops..
then i flashed the old rom (a VK XWLPY) waited for the "insert pin " screen didn't even bother , rebooted
and flashed right above it WITHOUT WIPE this rom
then EVERYTHING FINE
JoelDroid this is an Excellent rom... and you deserve congrats...
My girlfriend got crazy about the Calendar import... its the one i have in my Note and she wanting it one year now..
i assume you imported from Note or something ... EXCELENT..
it's very smoth... the keypad for calling is the awsome JB .. the feeling everything is very very fine..
i just have to see the battery now...
..
I ll finish with one only suggestion.. everyone i think is used by now with the Shortcuts under the 15 toggle screen...
I mean mainly the shortcuts for the Control Panel Etc...
i don't know how easy is an implementation... but that is a neddle in a heystack... the rom is VERY VERY GOOD

Let me have a guess...
Android v 4.2.2
Based on Xperia v2 ROM ( from the A919 Tool app icon and the normal nav bar icons in screenshot no. 2, and also the background in screenshot no. 1 where a message is seen saying that " Actually I was bored with Xperia v2 ROM so I made this ROM. " )
Changed Framework apk and systemui apk
Added Samsung Apps like the launcher and calendar, etc.
Updated GmsCore.apk (or Google Play Services to be simple)
Did not edit and/or change the data folder
Followed any MTK porting guide
Did a quick port today ( from the date and time in the screenshots )
Better RAM management -- Tweaked minfree values would be my guess
Did not change the Flashlight app (TinnoLED.apk)
Brighter Flashlight -- Not as easy as he hoped. He would need some redirection of app processing power to the flashlight app to increase its importance, and thereby increase the flashlight brightness. I'm guessing he hasn't done that, so you'd better remove that line.
Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.
Here is a bug which he cannot fix.
3g support on both SIMs.
For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.
BRO thanks for your opinions and thought

For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.

Let me have a guess...
Android v 4.2.2
Based on Xperia v2 ROM ( from the A919 Tool app icon and the normal nav bar icons in screenshot no. 2, and also the background in screenshot no. 1 where a message is seen saying that " Actually I was bored with Xperia v2 ROM so I made this ROM. " )
Changed Framework apk and systemui apk
Added Samsung Apps like the launcher and calendar, etc.
Updated GmsCore.apk (or Google Play Services to be simple)
Did not edit and/or change the data folder
Followed any MTK porting guide
Did a quick port today ( from the date and time in the screenshots )
Better RAM management -- Tweaked minfree values would be my guess
Did not change the Flashlight app (TinnoLED.apk)
Brighter Flashlight -- Not as easy as he hoped. He would need some redirection of app processing power to the flashlight app to increase its importance, and thereby increase the flashlight brightness. I'm guessing he hasn't done that, so you'd better remove that line.
Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.

See i ported this Material L for unite 2 (a106) for our s5+ it was ported successfully and also booted up i used it for More than 3 days not found any other bug except Camera and flashlight..I changed some of its Lib files With Stock and also changed its gallery to stock and tried many other methods but still the cam bug didnt fixed..Else everything working really good.whenever i opens the cam it says unfortunately camera has stopped else everything works at its best...
Yeah, I just thought I should type out my thoughts about the ROM and then wait and see your reply. Sorry for that, though.
---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------
You used some MTK porting guide, didn't you ?
Another thing, what do you mean by Material L ? Do you mean to say that you have ported an Android L ROM to this phone ?
I think you have just ported some ROM with just the Material Design UI, as seen in the screenshots (They do not have the Android L Navigation Bar Buttons. )
You could try replacing the permissions in that, as most likely, that would be the root cause of many such errors. A permission file related to the camera settings could be improperly coded, and/or might have a bad file, either corrupt or something like that.
I just needed this tiny favour from you of creating a proper, working update-binary and updater-script inside a META-INF folder which can be used for all my ROMs. If that is over, you'll be seeing those ROMs on XDA quite soon.
Another thing. In the CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop ROM which I am porting, the apps folder has individual folders for each app. So, the flashlight app is in system/app/flashlight/flashlight.apk . Could that be the cause of the ROM not installing properly ? I'm going mad over that as that was the first time I have seen any ROM with apps grouped like that.
Thanks in advance for your contribution.
tnx for posting.. try to port this rom..we r same spec of ur device..

Thanks anyways.Hope to expect more ROMs from you in the future!!!
Sent from my MyPhone Agua Cyclone using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I drop using my Wave long ago, even tho in the meanwhile I used it to watch some spanish streaming tv with the tv output on a crt tv, but now I want to change its OS with a nice version of android, to have a backup of my main android phone (a Vodafone Smart Mini/875 with jellybean 4.1.1) that's actually giving me some troubles.
So now I'm a bit lost, I already found and read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam...t-android-roms-samsung-wave-gt-s8500-t2842566 where there's some kind of a list of the actual custom portings, but not all states the android version, besides it seems to not include the 5.* lollipop versions.
What I want to install is a complete and hopefully stable version, it doesn't need to be lollipop/5.*, expecially if it doesn't give any benefit except to being the newest/up-to-date but it eats more ram memory (that with only 512 Mb is an issue, the 875 have the same amount and with jb eats up more or less 400Mb~), and I need (almost) every feature available on Bada being present on Android too (like: tv output, camera button, bluetooth, wifi, 2g/3g/3.5g data/voice/txt, etc.).
I'm just asking to point me (/suggesting) to the right direction (thread/release) to the best or better options available for me.
Thank you in advance!
Man , i will answer you but you better do what i say , cause it is the only truth
Badadroid project start with a couple of an amazing developers , those formed the porting team
the first ROM to be ported to wave was developed by Rebellos and Volk204
after that Volk204 took the project by himself
so:
Any ROMs by volk204 are worth using
Any other ROM you see are just kang/copie of his work by some amateurs , and are without actual support (not if Volk204 doesn't fix the problem himself )
I recommend you using OMni rom 4.4.4 by volk204 and flash RIL fix from this post

RIL update 20.12.2014 https://yadi.sk/d/kvYUiq6QdWSdD
- SMS fixes
just flash it via TWRP

Omni Lollipop are not for daily use , major problem with it ; is the low free memory , apps will just close , you can't use (for me Endomondo + Music ) it will work to certain point ; than Android will kill one of the 2 apps
Fellow my Guide , it has most of the thing you need
The complete Optimization Guide for Omni Rom (4.4 and Lollipop)
And in earlier this year an another Recognized developer here on XDA "Alberto96" got an interest in developing ROM for wave1/wave2
he released a nice ROM , and now the links are dead , but he is BACK and he is working on his trademark ROM "GearCM" for our wave and from what i see in the his Github , it gonna be awesome
So :
Best ROM now (actual one ROM exist , it is not like i will tell something new ) [ROM][WIP][NAND] Omni 4.4 - 11.12.2014 By volk204 (don not install Gapps)
Best ROM ( Future release ) GearCM by alberto96 fellow his GIthub https://github.com/Alberto96?tab=activity
so what are the other ROMs released by Rebellos and Volk204:
it been like this since the very earlier day of Badadroid
Bugs fix go along with ROM updates , they didn't work on the same android version , every couple and there a major bug fix come with the Cyanogen source update
So anything less than Omni 4.4 (11.12.2014) has more bugs .
i must mention
Senior member Hero355 he did work on a promising ROM (Smartkat) by he got busy with life and let the project unfinished . But his Bada 2.0 Turko Rom is just Great
Senior member BenzoX he did work on Dual boot (Bada/android) and Dual android rom boot, he did work on nand and sd ROM (he is also got busy and let some things not fixed ) s
some people are using this unfinished Alpha projects , what do you expect from their ROMs :crying:
there is nothing else you need to know
Kind regards :angel:
So now. With Liondroid, Omni 6.0, GearCM and omni 4.4.4 which one can be considered for a daily use?
In my opinion, if GearCM had a better communication management it would be the best.
if you do not mind the theme in Russian, then take a look http://www.badapps.ru/6081-ledenec-ot-djkoloda-dlya-samsung-wave-8500-i-853008242015.html
Looks promising. At the moment I'm trying liondroid (very smooth but I need further tests) but I keep your link for later.
Maybe you could see with the creator to put his version on xda?
What should I do, if after installing some gapps (not the ones from here) the phone goes with a black screen after starting omni? it only shows the notification bar

Omni 4.4 by volk204, but I figured it out, wipe some data in recovery and I could reflash the ROM again and flash other gapps.. but now, I'm having trouble with the Google play services last update , it's laggy.. I'm trying to optimize the rom with the guide by @ice_ice where there's a section to put the Google play services like it wasn't never installed...but I'm cannot find the option WAKEUP with the 3C Tools app to disable it, I can't disable other services of Google play services becase the phone it's so slow that it shuts down after a while and I can't make it...
Do you think that the YouTube App and whatsapp will work fine if I uninstall the updates? I mean, That would be easier to make, because the updates are killing the ram... It's my dad's phone, so he just need whatsapp, something to check the Facebook (I installed the lite version), YouTube and Something to open Gmail (any reasonable lite app for Gmail?)
Dsebas91 , I use the 4.4.4 by djkoloda without installing, gapps .
All the apps I downloaded in *.apk files.
Recommend YouTube_v4.1.47.apk .
Gmail I checked by logging into account from a standard browser.
Sync contacts with Google through a program of CardDav-Sync.
