How to flash TeamCanjica CyanogenMod 10.1 on Galaxy S Advance [Unofficial ]

While there isn’t a perfectly stable CyanogenMod ROM for the Galaxy S Advance, there are a few nightly ROMs that you can try.

TeamCanjica’s CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM is probably the best if you don’t mind a few minor issues.

Let us take a quick look at what is working and what isn’t working in the ROM.

What is working:

RIL (Calls, SMS & Data )
WiFi
Bluetooth
Camera (Front, Back & LED)
Audio
GPS
Led Buttons
MTP & USB Mass Storage
Sensors & Acelerometer
Vibrator (needs a bit more work)
Reduced UI Glitches (using XPERIA gralloc and hwcomposer)

Known Issues in the ROM:

(aka what prevents it from being a stable ROM)

WiFi Tethering and WiFi Direct.
OMX -> Hardware Decoders / Encoders.
Camera -> Video Recorder.
Camera -> Panorama is laggy.
Magnetic Sensor -> Compass not working.
NFC ( GT-I9070P users Only ).

Now this may not matter to people who don’t use the SGSA as a primary phone, watch videos or play games on it, or record videos.
