Long time no post ... Now i back with a happy news for your All Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ Android users, which is another popular firmware or custom ROM that is Cyanogenmod 12.1. With this ROM (or firmware), our beloved vivalto3gvn device will be able upgrade the Android OS version to LOLLIPOP LOLLIPOP, LOLLI LOLLI LOLLI LOLLIPOP LOLLIPOP, LOLLI LOLLI LOLLIPOP :v .

Actually the ROM is already developed months back ago, started by the same developer of CM11 for Galaxy V doesntexits@XDA. But because this only personal blog (not a devs blog), i'm just waiting the stable enough version for all people to use it, and in fact this developer also ngoquang2708@XDA says the developing of this CM12.1 for Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ will be stopped due to his focus developing Cyanogenmod 13 for Galaxy V (it's the hottest android Marshmallow AMAZING :v ).

Few days i try this CM12.1 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ, i am very satisfied with it. It's already stable i think, the fastest ROM i have ever used and there is no word except Amazing!!! Great work from the developers. Yeah because the developed is stopped at BETA-3 state, so there will be little bug maybe (but it's just minor and not very important i think).
