Galaxy S3 Mini CM13 (CyanogenMod 13, golden) Marshmallow ROM is an unofficial CM13 build. This is an initial build and has many BUGs leaving this ROM unusable as a daily driver. So, please take a backup using a synchronization application or using Samsung Smart Switch or if you have TWRP installed then boot into TWRP recovery and take a NANDROID backup using the TWRP itself before flashing this ROM. This CM13 is ONLY for Galaxy S3 Mini and this build is brought to you by developer 3liteking148. Recently he has also brought the CM14 for S3 Mini.
