Hi Friend,
This post is about installing cyanogen mod 7.2 RC5.7 on samsung galaxy mini...
What is Cyanogenmod ?
Intended as a replacement for the software (also known as the "firmware" or "ROM") that comes factory installed on your smartphone, CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project – the same base software used in all Android devices. However, CyanogenMod offers several benefits over the pre-installed firmware, including vastly flexible interface and customization, a wider set of new features, and sometimes significant improvements in performance.
CyanogenMod's features may allow you to bypass software limitations imposed by carriers, which may prevent you from using the handset in a manner that they do not support. Such features include, but not limited to, the ability to overclock the device's CPU, tether the device to your computer, or fully back up the device to your SD Card.
Now as you know what is cyanogenmod you might be eager to use it on your device.So proceeding towards the installation.First of all,inorder to install cyanogenmod your device must be rooted and below is the link for " How to root your device " pls go through it before installing cyanogenmod...
