Galaxy Mini CM9 Ice Cream Sandwich by TheWhisp

After presenting the CM10 port for Galaxy Mini, by TheWhisp, I'm now introducing the Ice Cream Sandwich Custom ROM for your device. If you consider the features the ROM it's pretty stable. I think about 90% of the ROM is fully functional and stable enough for every day use. I personally think there's no visual deference between ICS and JB, the JB is only slightly better under the hood.



Change log from the latest five releases:

  • Fully fixed data usage settings (working data limit) (Still has blue background due to the screen)
  • Updated some network related things in the kernel
  • Fixed data graph background (with a little "hack", thanks to ic92 for pointing out where the problem is)
  • Fixed network location (no other modifications required)
  • Fixed issue that Google location services prevented device from entering deep sleep
  • New camera HAL based on Wayland's and arco's work ( thanks!  ) 
  • Fixed camera settings (like exposure, effects)
  • Camera is more colorful now
  • Updated file manager
  • Some minor changes in camera HAL, if you have deep sleep problems, use camera patch (recording is still not working)
  • YouTube HQ works now (this doesn't mean that OMX libs are working fully, I doubt that encoder is working, so no camcorder)
  • Fixed Wi-Fi hotstop
  • Fixed Bluetooth tethering
  • Updated Wi-Fi performance
  • Minor audio improvement
  • Fixed camera layout
  • Fixed trebuchet layout
  • Fixed bmlutils
  • Fully fixed USB tethering


Download and flash


  1. Download the newest release from here.
  2. Copy the downloaded file to the SD Card on your phone.
  3. Go to Recovery Mode.
  4. Do a nandroid backup of your current ROM, just in case some things go wrong.
  5. Wipe Date & Cash.
  6. Flash the Rom that you downloaded before.
  7. Flash Gapps (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip).
  8. Reboot your device.
I recommend you, from my personal experience, to sing in for your account after (not when) you first boot up your device.

    1. Try to open the calendar app and it should give you the option to sing in, or go to Settings>Add Account. Happy New Year!

      AntTek Explorer is a very good choice.

    1. I think the camera recorder works, but it isn't very comfortable for everyday use, it has some bugs.

    2. The Gingerbread based custom roms are usually more stable than newer ports of Android (like Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean). And yes, the CM10 (JB) has some bugs.
