Cyanogenmod 10 (Jelly Bean) for Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is already ported for almost all high end devices but now it’s time for devices like Samsung Galaxy Mini. Thanks to XDA Senior Member TheWhisp for bringing out Cyanogenmod 10 (Jelly Bean) for the same. Cyanogenmod 10 offers butter like smooth interface and highly customizable features compared to stock firmwares. Some minor bugs may be there otherwise ROM works fine. You’ll be pleased to hear that active development is still going on for Samsung Galaxy Mini and developers are trying to fix remaining bugs and releasing updates in near future.
Following is the list of non working functions quoted on ROM development page (as on 27 September 12):
1) HQ video playback (need OpenMAX libraries from Qualcomm, unfortunately, they are not going to release them)
2) Native USB tethering
3) Native Wi-Fi tethering
Now we will move towards the actual process of updating Samsung Galaxy Mini to Jelly Bean via Cyanogenmod 10.

Procedure to Update Samsung Galaxy Mini to Cyanogenmod 10 Jelly Bean custom ROM:

- Now disconnect your phone from computer and switch it off by long pressing power button. Ensure that your phone is completely switched off. Now boot into Clockworkmod recovery by simultaneously holding Power and Home buttons.
- In recovery select Backup/Restore and on next screen select Backup to take nandroid backup of your current ROM so that you can go back to your previous ROM if anything goes wrong (Nandroid backup doesn’t include content from SD card).
- Select wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition to factory reset the phone (it won’t touch your SD card).
- Now to install ROM, select choose zip from SD card and then install zip from SD card. Scroll down to the ROM file and confirm it by pressing on Yes. Wait for the installation to finish.
- After installation is finished, press back button to land into the main menu of recovery.

is it possible to change the wallpaper on the menu? i mean the black wallpaper on menu…
first thanks for the very clear and easy to use step by step description.
One issue was, that if Froyo was installed an other clockworthmod file is needed. With this it was possible to install Cyanogenmod and GooglePlay.
But after this the phone does not boot. It shows only the “Samsung ….” logo.
I installed cyanogenmod twice but nothing changes.
Any idea who to fix it is wellcome.
Thanks
Nicolas
Froyo is the issue I guess. First upgrade your phone to Gingerbread and then flash CWM & ROM..
Thank you for your help. How can I installGingerbread, if I can not boot. Can i justuse an older cyanogenmod, or should i recover my old system with clockworthmod?
Nicolas
Flash an official firmware like the one given here: https://www.androidlegend.com/update-samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570-with-official-gingerbread-2-3-6-xwktn/

hi,
I already had clockwork recovery on my phone, flashed to cyanogenmod 10 like here on the website

first i wanted to go back to GB2.3.6, but I gave it another go
I used ODIN to reinstall CWM Recovery

my gt s5570 is running CM10, everytime I install new application, I have to restart the phone, how to fix it and use the apps without restarting the phone?
sir viraj, could you please post a link to download the best froyo 2.2.1 version in galaxy mini gt s5570? I think I just want to go back to its original version,
it’s really nice to experience the different update to this phone, thanks 😉
Why do you want Android 2.2.1 Froyo while you can get Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread?
Because there are some apps that is not working like busy box, and other, whenever I open this application, it always restarting, I don’t know why, I think it’s not compatible in that version,
2.3.6 gingerbread is the best version for this phone, it is smooth and fast..I think I should go back to this version,
And also I need a firmware for 2.2.1 froyo, could you post a link where can I download, because, there are many froyo version, and I don’t know how to choose. thanks 🙂
