The new Google OS Android 4.4 KitKat is making headlines day after day. There is a buzz going

around as everyone talks about the number of devastating and memory optimization features that

comes with this new 4.4 version. The Googles head of Android, Sundar Pichai, itself have told

that this update can easily and comfortably run on devices having 512 MB RAM. This is pretty

good news for those low end device users. They can at last get rid of that Gingerbread version.

The number of users having Gingerbread running on their devices is more than those having

Ice-cream sandwich and Jelly Bean. With this update they will be finally relaxed as same like

others it will be possible for them to experience the latest features on their mobiles.

It was Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, after which Google took a huge leap forward in usability

and responsiveness. However, due to their more interest towards the hardware compatibility,

many low end devices suffered a lot. The main reason is that the new introduced features were

not compatible to run on the limited hardware and RAM size.

The third party Android developers helped to overcome this issue. They with their hard work

developed ROMs running on all those latest versions especially for low range mobiles. With these

ROMs you can customize everything you want.

A week before, the androids recognized developers, the well known Cyanogenmod team

launched their new CM 11 update running on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat for low range device

like Galaxy Ace, Fit, Gio and Mini. In this article we will talk about detailed procedure regarding

Android 4.4.3 KitKat for Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop S5570. This aging device was launched three

years ago with official Android 2.2 Froyo. Later it was upgraded to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. But

after that, Samsung stopped its further updates due to lack of hardware and RAM compatibility.

One of the recognized contributor of XDA, yajnab, has compiled an alpha build of CM 11 ROM for

Galaxy Mini. You can experience all new features of KitKat like refurnished Google home with

new launcher, new phone dialer app, screen recording, new gallery, new quick office app and

much more on your Galaxy Mini/Pop with this ROM. The list does not end here as along with that

you can even feel the Cyanogenmod features. Thus a combo pack ROM with amazing features is

waiting for you. Some of the working features of it are listed below. Check them out.

Working list:

Boot

Display

Touch

Sensors

RIL

Wifi

Hardware

SD Card

Tethering (USB and Wifi)

You must note that this update is in its working stage so it may contain untested bugs and issues.

But dont worry as it is updated weekly the bugs will be fixed soon. Now you can proceed further

The update given below for flashing Android 4.4.3 KitKat via Cyanogenmod 11 ROM on your

Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop S5570 is considered to be of much risk. Hence should be performed

only by advanced users who are used to this stuff. For Newbie, we highly recommend you to

follow each and every step properly and at your own risk. If in case your Galaxy Mini/Pop gets

damaged or bricked by using this article then neither we nor the developers will be held

responsible for that. Although the chances that your device will get damaged is least, but still I

recommend you to follow all the given procedure properly and without any single mistake. Also

note that this update must be only performed on Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop bearing the modelnumber GT-S5570. Flashing this on any other device or variant may result into unwantedoutcomes or even bricked device. Its better that you firstly verify your device model number with

the number given above from Homescreen> Menu>Settings > About Phone.

Better check your mobiles battery power first. It is must as due to lack of battery, the flashing

process may get interrupted thus giving rise to further problems. Thus I highly recommend to

charge the battery of your galaxy Mini/Pop at least up to 80%.

Backup all your entire SD card along with the contacts, messages apn settings, call logs etc.

and transfer them on your PC for more safety. This is necessary as in the last step of this

procedure you need to wipe all the data and cache that is currently present onto your phone

memory.

Backup of a folder named EFS, present in your system directory is highly important. This is avery sensitive folder as it contains all your phones specific information such as the IMEI

number, wireless devices MAC addresses, product code, and much more. If while wiping all

the data and cache, this folder also gets deleted by mistake then this will be a great disaster

for you. Your device will no longer be recognized by your carrier & will become just useless. If

so happened, you wont be able to receive or make a call and message either. To know more

about EFS and its backup refer this article.

Ensure that your Galaxy Mini/Pop is rooted. If not, then follow our guide given below to do so.

1.

This ROM can be flashed only when you have a custom recovery installed on your device. So

your Galaxy Mini/Pop.

(IMPORTANT!) You need to have a latest Clockworkmod Custom recovery like 6.0.4.5 forflashing Android 4.4.3 KitKat on your Galaxy Mini/Pop. If you havent installed it yet, then dont

worry just follow this steps given below:

Step 1: Download the latest CWM 6.0.4.5 recovery package from Here.

Step 2: After successful downloading, connect your device to PC, enable USB debugging modeand transfer this recovery on your mobiles external SD card.

Step 3: Now disconnect your device from PC and switch it completely.

Step 4: You need to enter into recovery mode now. For doing so, keep holding home button andpower button simultaneously until the recovery mode appears.

Step 5: On recovery mode, Select Install from SD card option using volume and home button &install this latest 6.0.4.5 recovery.

Step 1: After successful downloading both the package files given above, connect your mobile toPC, enable USB debugging mode and transfer them on your mobiles external SD card.

Remember not to place it in deep directories. Also remember not to extract it.

Step 2: Disconnect your Mini/Pop from PC and switch it off completely.

Step 3: You need to enter into the recovery mode now. For that hold Home Button (middlebutton) + Power Button simultaneously until the recovery mode appears.

Note: Touch wont work in this recovery. So use your device Volume Up and Down keys fornavigation and Home button for selection.

Step 4: If this CM 11 ROM fails to touch your heart or some problem occurs and you want yourprevious ROM (the one you are using now), then a Nandroid backup feature of CWM will help you

out. Nandroid backup is the backup of your entire operating system & helps you easily restore the

saved previous ROM from the CWM recovery in case of some emergency.

Step 5: For doing same, navigate to the backup & restore option on the recovery mode itself andon the next screen select backup option. This will make a complete nandroid backup of yourcurrent ROM. Refer the screenshot given below.

Lets move to the actual CM 11 ROM installation process now.

Step 6: After taking proper nandroid backup, again return to the main menu of recovery modeand select the install zip from SD card option located on the recovery mode itself. Then on thenext screen select choose zip from SD card option. This will show you all the files and folderspresent on your external SD card along with CM 11 ROM package which youve copied earlier.

Select it using home button. On the next screen, press Yes option to begin the actual ROMflashing process. It will hardly take 5 to 10 few minutes to complete. Be patient until the process is

completed fully.

Step 7: After successful flashing process, again return to the main menu of recovery mode andselect wipe data/factory reset option followed by wipe cache partition option which will clearall your data & caches from your phones memory.

Step 8: Now you need to flash the Google Apps package containing Playstore, Gmail, Gtalkseparately after flashing the ROM. Use the same above procedure for that. Just dont wipe

data/cache after installing those GApps.
