The Galaxy Mini originally ran onAndroid 2.2 "Froyo", but in May 2011, Samsung announced that the Galaxy Mini (along with other Galaxy models) would get an official upgrade toAndroid 2.3 Gingerbread. An official upgrade to Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) was released viaSamsung Kies on 9 December 2011 for some mobile operators. The Galaxy Mini can also be flashed with custom ROMs such asCyanogenMod releases (although not officially supported by Samsung) where it is codenamedtass. The officially supported version of CyanogenMod on the Galaxy Mini as of August 2012 isCyanogenMod 7.2. It will run CyanogenMod 10/10.1/10.2 and even 11, but it is not officially supported, so there may be stability or performance issues, especially in the latter case.
It can be overclocked to 800 MHz with SetCPU.
