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.

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.

It works guyssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bless whoever made this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 🙂
