Yes, it is worth upgrading it in my opinion. There are many fixes and some interface changes as well
Download CM12.1 zip and dirty flash it over CM12.0 It must work without a wipe and losing data but I would suggest to make a backup with Titanium backup before doing so or via recovery. This would ensure that you do not loose any data!

Hi,
I'm really new to this whole Android phone thing. I understand almost nothing, including different abbreviations (like cm, what does that stand for?)
So I apologize if I'm asking something that's already written in some newbie guide, I'd love it if someone could refer me to such a guide.
I have some newbie questions:
I've bought a new S4 mini, and I want to install Cyanogen, but I could only find Nightly or RC versions of it, is there a stable version somewhere?
Do I need to install CWM? Or is there another way to root my device without having to install CWM? I want to install as less applications as possible. Unless you guys tell me that installing CWM is a good idea.
You need CWM (aka CWMR for ClockWork Mod Recovery) to flash CM (CyanogenMod, sometimes Cyanogen for short), which currently only has nightlies and RCs for the S4 Mini LTE model only.
The model number for the LTE variant is GT-I9195.
There is also a test release for the international 3G variant (GT-I9190).
There is none for the Dual-sim variant, GT-I9192.
Thanks a lot! Is the RC version of cm "safe"? I don't want to start dealing with dev issues, I just want a comfortable phone to use.
Maybe it's better to install the debloat rom instead of an unstable cm version?
The debloated rom has its fair share of issues. It's a matter of personal preference actually.
I prefer having CM and it's working fine for me on the latest nightly. No pressing issues.

So if I just want to remove unneeded apps (which are consuming CPU / RAM) then maybe the best option for me is to just root my device and remove any app I don't want?
Oh and another question: in a different thread someone recommended wiping /data and /cache, how do I do this? By using ClockworkMod?
Yes and yes.
Removing unneeded apps is also known as debloating. Those unneeded apps are known as bloat ware.
There are explicit options within CWM to wipe data and cache.
I'm newbie in Samsung too, also want to ask which one CWM for stock kernel/Rom? I'm using S4 Mini LTE (GT-I9195). Thanks in Advanced.

That is truly odd. I have no issues with downloading Candy Crush Saga on my phone here in Singapore.
Perhaps its a region lock?
Mayb that could be it...thanks

Hi there
A beginner question.. I guess there will be kitkat versions of pacman sooner or later and I wondered how the best way to upgrade would work.
There are already packages for the new apps, I assume this is the same as the "gapps" package I installed when installing pacman.
- is it possible to install the new gapps now already?
- how to upgrade pacman once it's there and does this reset my settings or is there a better process?
Thanks a lot, I'm a bit confused

You can't install the new gapps yet because we don't have 4.4 update yet. As for updating pacrom, you can read op in the pacrom thread.

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 running CyanogenMod 11 with the 20131209 Nightly. If I use the CyanogenMod updates feature in my device settings to update to the latest nightly (or stable when it comes out), is my data wiped?
Thanks,
Orange

No, data are only wiped if you update from a ROM XXX to an other ROM YYY. For example, you have to wipe data if you have CM10.2 and want to upgrade to CM11 or SlimKat, but data wont be and don't need to be wiped from CM11 to an other CM11 !

Hi
I use CM11 on my HOX and update to newest nightly once a week.
I use the build in update function in CM.
My question is if it is important to also flash a new boot.img every time?
Thanks in advance.
It's not necessary, the update should say so. But on the safe side....it won't harm if you do flash it.

So right now I'm running Resurrection remix v5.3.7 Lollipop.
My signal seems worse than before, and I found all the prior modems (10c, m &r) but those are from kitkat. My reception was pretty great when I was using 10m, but I wasnt on this ROM and not on lollipop. Also, I didn't have as many call issues, and SMS issues.
Will it work if I flash a modem from kitkat? Is there any way special you have to do it? I googled as much ad I could and got very vague info, I saw someone say just flash modem and that's its, but I'm not sure if they were on a lollipop ROM or not.
TL;DR
Can I flash kitkat modem (10c, m, & r) when I'm using Resurrection Remix v5.3.7 Lollipop, and if so is there any specific steps, or just flash it? Or have to clean install or any certain order etc...
Thanks

All the modems currently available for the tmobile g3 are from kitkat. There really isn't much of a choice. Either 10c, 10m, or 10r.

I know that...
I wasn't asking anything like that...
Read my question, asking if they are safe to use on a lollipop ROM such as resurrection remix, and how I go about flashing them.

It is safe to flash any of these modem using twrp custom recovery.......
10C and 10M modems

I can flash it normal? Or have to do a clean install with rom or anything? Or flash than clear dalvik and cache?
Basically any specific order or just flash and reboot and that's it? Just want to be safe.

No..you do not need to do a clean install........just install the zip.
