Flashing Official CyanogenMod 7 2 RC1 On Galaxy Mini GT S5570 Smartphone

Flashing Official CyanogenMod 7 2 RC1 On Galaxy Mini GT S5570 Smartphone


CyanogenMod has announced the release of official Cyanogen Mod 7.2 Release Candidate 1 (RC1) of the famous Android 2.3.7 based android rom. This rom is the first official release of the year and it is now available for download to 70 supported devices including both high and low-end devices. You can find details of the release at this article. And among those 70 devices falls the mid-range Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 smartphone. This is a very good news for galaxy mini/pop/next users since this is their very first official release of Cyanogen Mod rom.

CM 7.2 RC1 for galaxy mini being first official release itself is a great news. However, I didnt find it that great while using. Maybe its because Ive been using unofficial build available at xda-developers forum which I found to have more features. However, I will need to admit that its great for those wanting to move away from stock rom to a stable build. It performed quite well during my short test and ran smooth with no lags. The performance was well though I couldnt test out the battery because of lack of time. The sound quality was nice and DSP Manager added further to its improvement.

However, despite of being stable I dont like it as I had expected. It lacks features that are there in unofficial builds by xda-developer, squadzone. No more soft buttons, no status bar style battery display, no FM Radio app (this can be managed by installing Spirit FM app from market) and no more overclocking. Yes, those who are planning to overclock will have to wait for some kernels to be developed first. I dont seem to like it because it lacks all these extra features. However, it shouldnt be the case with you. Its perfectly fine for those who are looking for stable CM7 and are ok even with out these extra features.

Though its like previous unofficial builds you can view some screen-shots at this article.
