DOWNLOAD JIGNERSMIUI 12.03
Sharing to you the build I found to be very stable after having used it for nearly
two weeks of continuous use. Originally built by domineus of MIUI Developers
forum, updated kernel to Hastarin 8.5.1 old cam.
two weeks of pure bliss, really, thats all i can say. I leave this if you are a fan of
MIUI, then this is definitely worth a test
Advantages:
- No screen freeze at all (just leave Auto Rotate Screen in setting, default is on)
- No SOD (can you believe it, never had any) (See Recommended steps)
- No Robo voice
- No screen wakeup delay
- Wifi works
- Market apps installs without any hassles
- 3G indicates HSPA if you are in its coverage
- Almost no data drops (tip: when turning "Data" on, give it 3-5minutes to stablish a good connection then start updating FB, browse, etc)
- Working Notification lights
- Loud sounds, but not too loud
- Working ringtones, (I prefer Zedge, free membership in market)
- Fast (very fast) graphics courtesy of Hastarin tip: install spareparts in Android Market and set all animations to fast (in my test it hardly affected battery usage)
- Camera and Camcorder
- Facebook Contacts Sync (yes you read it right) for birthdays, I recommend "Birthday Assistant"
- MIUI music interface is one if not the best our there.
- loads of stuff as short cut in the pull down task bar like data, wifi, sound 14 in total including reboot function.
- Battery is excellent, better than the Stock Winmo i was on
How to achieve the best battery life in this build: (5-7mAmp on standby)
- turn "Data" on ONLY when you need to update facebook, browse the web using 3G
or use chat clients like eBuddy etc.
- consequently turn on WIFI only when in range and when you need to connect to it
- only ever use live wallpapers, when you are showing off to your friends
Recommended steps in testing this build:
- charge battery at least >70%
- HSPL 2.08 (Video Guide Link)
- Task 29 - use .nbh file of Radio 2.15 to run it (this will then be your Radio)(YouTube link)
- Flash Oct 13▐ VBNROM *Reloaded 2*▐ 21913/24634▐ WWE 3.14 Core▐ Best Battery <8mA in Standby
- Full format SDCard using SD Formatter 2.0
- Unzip the file using 7zip found here
- at first place ONLY the folder "JIGNERSMIUI" in your SDCard
- Manually run CLRCAD then haret.exe (I prefer this method as it is plain and simple)(you must activate haret.exe while bottom keypads are a light).
- sync with google and facebook
- reboot back to VBN Winmo
- connect to pc (still in winmo) then transfer all your pictures, music, videos via usb
- Turn screen off, disconnect from pc
- run CLRCAD and haret.exe again
- Note: at first run of Gallery, it will be slow as it takes time to index the photo/video
files, just be patient and give it the time it needs (5-10min) depends on how
many photo files you have. After that it will be fast

- at daylight or bright places about 30% - 50%
startup.txt states
"rel_path=miui.rootfs nand_boot=0"
Should i re-name the unziped folder to miui.rootfs?

Sorry about the mixup, but there is a new download link in first post.
thanks for your patience and now the folder is "miui.rootfs"
so no need to edit startuptext.

thanks for the sharing.I love miui builds
i love all the MIUI builds & this one seems like the fastest that i've tried, only problem that i have (and i've had it with every MIUI build) is that after i set everything up, sync google, restart the phone & boot back up into android it freezes up when i see the "Preparing to scan sd card" notification in the taskbar. locks up & have to reset. happens everytime.

Have you gone through all the recommended steps i made in the first post?
it would be worth trying it, as these are the steps I made and i firmly believe
this made running the build on my device stable.
Does the theme manager works? It doesn't work in MIUI 26.11.
im running a different winmo rom (my own), formatted 8gb sd card fat 32, didnt task29 but did hard reset.
maybe a temp fix, but i downloaded Startup Manager from the market and disabled the boot media scan. works for now

thanks for letting us know how you resolve the issue you've encountered.
so here is the Blur edition based on my 2.2.1.
You can also follow updates on Twitter now: Dexter Picard (DexterPicard) on Twitter or
if you like my mod or you can visit my new homepage at Dexter's mods
Changelog v0.4 maintenance release Download nandroid image here
- memory enhancements (some not majors)
- original 2.1 cam included.
Changelog v0.3a Download nandroid image here
- fixed blur account registration to be using UK options, instead of chinese options
- changed memory handling to be UI optimized, but limiting options for bigger games to run though (see it as UI friendly but not games friendly)
Changelog v0.3
- 720P recording works now.
- HDMI output partly working, note: if enabled to tv out, you cannot shutdown the output, so android display appear on tv, which is a bug. but it works!
- NOT working: FMRadio
- Using latest defy 2.2 UK update, with more languages supported, like uk,german,french, italian, dutch,polish and few more others.
- USB old app from 2.2 added (please ignore wifi orange icon in taskbar, thanks!)
- removed some malware + swype defy edition.
- not deodex'd (much faster load times)
- ZOOM removed (not supported by our model)
- OpenRecovery not included in nandroid, please install after restore, to keep functionality in place.
- MilestoneOverclock app not included, but module and oc-settings file supported.
- ext2sdcard automatically enabled if found on partition2 of sdcard.
- gameloft games require more memory this rom got like 35MB free when running, so you need to tweak apps if you want games to run.
Install instructions:
Make sure sdcard is visible, when you get to step 6 of instructions, or it all fails, same with restore..
NOTE: only works on top of 2.1 sbf installs, due to large amound of /system storage..
A: users with stock 2.1 can proceed to step 1 in instructions.
B: users with stock SBF korean 2.2 rom , need to flash stock 2.1 and goto step 1
root it (SuperOneClick ) - included with zip
install OpenRecovery , use included apk.
reboot phone once
copy the folder "nandroid" to root directory of your sdcard.
Make sure sdcard is not attached to pc using "mass storage share" to pc.
Run OpenRecovery app and "install Recovery".
Press Boot recovery
restore the backup "blur22xxxx"
wipe / factory reset in OpenRecovery
reboot
OC-SETTINGS
you can add a file onto the sdcard with overclock settings which loads at startup.
see example included with zip file release for more details.
copy it directly to sdcard, and you got 1Ghz settings configured.
note: editing the file with notepad might corrupt it as its linux formatted, so use an editor with support for linux text files.
Issues reported in v0.3:
none for now
v0.1 is now online!
DEFINITELY testing this when I get home
Dex you're a genius
refresh, refresh.. downloading.... restoring
More info tomorrow, 10x Dexter !
haven't gotten a chance to flash yet, download is taking FOREVER, but after its done, if i wanna change back, do i just do a nandroid restore of one of your froyo roms? or do i have to flash back to 2.1 first?
OH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
I was about to sell the XT720 because I wanted Blur. Now I'll have it!
I LOVE YOU!
I hope it comes in spanish language soon
first bugs to report (quite a few...)
I recieve multiples of sms messages, e.g., i would recieve the same message from the same person several times.
market does not like to have multiple downloads at the same time.
in the app drawer, the very very bottom of the screen is slightly cut off, no big deal, just saying.
in the Blur messaging widget, using the reply button on the widget will.not allow the message to send, message can still be typed, but will.not send.
vibrate function will randomly stop working, and requires a reboot.
media gallery button serves as voice command..? yeah.
market and browser will occasionally not work on wifi.
if there are more bugs i will be right on it
now the good
Blur works!!!
ram is not totally devoured, actually pretty good compared to previous froyo release. (although some system apps like the included task manager and bluetooth are constantly running, i do not have bluetooth on.)
very stable, usable build, i will be using it daily until the next release.
great stuff dex

Few bugs from me:
- Market download/install is very, very slow.
- I think that maybe there is some battery drain because from my last post (in the middle of the night) after I install Blur till now - 50% down. This is with 3g and few mails to check. TEMP+CPU shows 36C but when I wake up I think that the phone was s little hot in the back.
Except Blur I don`t have different software installed (comparing to 2.2).
During this post the phone don`t recognize the USB in PC... I`m not sure were is the problem (phone., soft or PC) so for the moment this is not reported.
- Maybe this is not a bug, but there is japan letters in some menus - phone (when I dial persons, recent call s and rrs news).
- It`s stupid but the phone unlock (slide) is very much harder than before...
- There is more free memory (This is not a bug!)

thanks to all for the quick reporting back.
- sms -
i think i know where the problem is, as it also happened on milestone :-( and i recall i got it fixed.
- jananese text -
not sure im able to fix, i dont get the lang, and im no translator..
- battery drain -
Blur is known for taking huge cpu and not being "sleepy", just looking at the log output happening during sleep is huge.. i did not expect Blur to be optimized at all.. and im not sure how it can be fixed except removed Blur, with a Deblur.
- slider -
yes, it seems it release your touchpoint much quicker than it should.. ill look at it, i think someone else wrote something like this on korean rom.
- usb .
i used only debugging, so i never actually confirmed usb mass storage.. will be checked later on..
- networking -
i noticed it too with Market, there is an issue with the Market im aware of, but might require a deodex'd of packages, which cost speed and memory/storage, so im not sure how much i do on this subject for now..

please do not put anything into this..
it could relate to a bug in h264 or aac encoding, so if LGCamera does not encode video or audio with aac, you know the reason..
Yes! MotoBlur Gonna try it asap @Dexter: Little hint: maybe a few screenshots of how it looks on the XT720?
And can I help with translating or is that not possible? 'Cause I've translated various programs, I love to do that and I have a lot of spare time, so I can translate it if possible.

LG camera sucks for me. I'm using a camera from the Android market now, but I can use it only at 3.2MP in the free version. But it is still really good
There are some problems with the Blur accounts (I can't setup facebook for the social widgets) And the phone doesn't read my music and some pictures in the SD card.
Everything else is just
-Facebook account issues
After creating and signing in with Facebook, account disappears and contacts are not synced in contacts and cannot add facebook account again.....

Hi U all !
I just would like to know why this huge difference in performance between any GingerBread rom and any htc sense rom...
I love stock roms but I use my phone also for my work, and htc mail / dialer functions (groups and GAL GAL GAL) are a MUST for me...
All sense roms I have tried are extremely slow and totally useless in my opinion.. Why ?? All GingerBread I have tried are like 20x (or even more) faster than sense roms... is like using windows 7 with a x86486 compared with a i7....
I also need tomtom so for me nand is not an option...
Is there any fast and actual (bugless) sense rom ?? And when I say fast i mean compared with gingerbread roms... not with other slow roms...
Any news for a gingerbread with htc sense ?
I have tried all sense roms that exists here in XDA .
Any way to install htc mail / dialer in gingerbread ? Any other native alternative ?
Functions I missed in stock dialer / mail:
* Dialer:
- T9 phone contact search
- Groups
- GAL search (Global address list)
* Mail:
- Improved tasks and calendar entries integration
- Send a mail to multiple destinations using GAL
- Press in a GAL contact name (inside a mail) and be able to see more info (GAL info)
I miss more things... but these are really important for me...
Any idea / help ??
Really ty for all.
dandiest makes some awesome Sense builds(DesireZ 3.5 is great). They get most in Quadrant and 3D, but for some reason, 2.3 just feels faster. It gets less in Quadrant and benchmarks, but it feels faster. I recommend you use DesireZ 3.5 with ext4, it is by far the fastest sense build.
Hi !
First of all really ty for the answer.
I have been trying that build since first version and I try every update...
At least for me is not fast... In some moments build is ok but under just medium load it turns slow and unstable... When u try to install / update some apks for example the rom runs so slow and laggy... and "alt tab" + notifications bar is instant-respond 1 of each 30 tries... There is something in all sense roms that makes me think there is a bottleneck....
Cope / americandroid.... runs smooth under idle / medium / and full load... U can install apks and all is working great at same time.. notification bar is instant respond 100% and when u press home u go instantly to home... no matter when u press it... "Alt Tab" is also 100% instant respond...
WM + CHT sense is better and runs infinite faster than android sense.... so out of apps like whatsapp, tango and various more there is no reason to use android having a fast WM with more functionality and much faster....
I really like android but I hate to be able to have coffe between pressing a button and the next...

You are right, WM sometimes feels smoother than Android for example when you call somebody or open contacts, sms - no lag. Also when you move your phone away of your head - there is a LAG that kills me. When install apk - system lags a lot. Strange! I like Android but for daily phone calls I prefer WinMo - because no lags in phone part
Use RAM build or MOTO maxtouch 4G its fast like RAM and have features like desire hd
Yeah, sense roms is very slow. I try too nearly all sense roms and all of its laggy.
I'm now using Nand MIUI Stock (Works perfect, fast boot, not lag like Gingerbreads), I'm also trying to run SD darkstone SuperRAM Sense v0.1 (Boot AD SD in MAGLDR but everytime says Preparing SD Card and freeze, I can't solve it)
I'm also try DL Desire 3.5, DL Desire HD 1.1, DL Desire HD 2.0, AF403 DesireHD, Rafdroid HD v2.3, Stock Desire on EU HD2 v2 but everyone of this builds is laggy.
First boot great but adding google account, adding facebook and twitter accounts and phone starts syncing lag is starting.
When installing apps you can't do anyting just wait the installer.
I don't believe Quadrant Scores, because score says 1500+ but phone is useless.
MIUI Stock gets 1300+ but works great
Hi, I can completely understand your problem, before nand the best rom i used was this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791835 it's fast snappy and has sense... i tried about 20 builds.
Does a car drive any faster with a 300-pound man sitting inside?
Come on, if you can't live with it then get a native android with sense.
If you can't afford to buy one then live with that!
Devs are trying their best to do what they do best yet you do your whine also at your best.
"EXTREMELY slow" is an exaggeration! Besides, you are comparing it to non-sense builds. Compare one sense build to another sense build rather than sense build to a non-sense build.
Reality check, it is your choice which build you want to install. Instead of whining, why won't you cook your own rom?
The Elite Blade_Rom 2.3.5 seems to be an excellent version of the official 2.3.5.
According to the XDA rules, user discussions should be here under Blade General and not under Blade Android Development.
Thus, any user comments, please!
My experience is good. I re-partitioned ROM before installling, giving plenty of memory for apps.
ZTE Dialer and LauncherPro are included. The only thing I miss on Elite Blade is a circle battery mod. I got one from Huexxx that works fine. I don't know if that file is posted anywhere, but I can send copies of my file on request.
It's a Wifi fix for the Zte blades (Wifi) Chipset problem. It will refresh the connection
after a sleep wakeup.
Perfect
Hi elitemovil,
thanks for the new kernel.
Works great, stable and smooth. I installed the two patches, store all 3 files on the SD card before doing the ROM flash. Bat drain very low on 2G but high in 3G.
Great ROM!!
Stuck @ green droid
I'm getting stuck at the green droid after trying to install EvilRom 2.3.5. I can't get past it, even if I try to flash the rom I knew that was working before.
1. Started from CM7.1
2. Installed the rom + kernel + fix (recovery)
3. Got stuck on the green droid
4. Installed CM7.1 rom again (recovery)
5. Still got stuck on the green droid.
6. Read the fine prints on the rom page
7. Partitioned SD to the instructions (recovery)
8. Transfered roms to new SD partion
9. Flashed rom + fix + kernel (recovery)
10. Still stuck at the green droid.
I saw people in the proper thread had the same issues, but what I really want to know is how to get past it.
I did the TPT upgrade recommended in the EliteRom thread. Worked like a charm to get my angry hulk droid away from my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19211900&postcount=27
So far so good. I clearly notice how smooth EliteRom already when I'm selecting language in the start. If the developer read this, you should put the TPT upgrade in the installation procedure/text so everyone does it.
I also had to TPT Gen2 v9.
I have 2 problems with this rom.
1 - Lots of apps dont allow to move to sd (in CM7 it was possible), like "Whats App, Circle Launcher, Handcent, iGO8", etc
2 - When writing SMS, it goes very slow in the input. In the beguining of the text it goes fast, but after about 100 chars, it gets really slow. Not only with default app but also with handcent. One time i read it was because of char count... Maybe is swiftkey keyboard...
Move apps to SD SOLVED with:
ADB - ./adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
data off after sleep
Hi everybody!
I have used Blade for a year. I used JJ, then Swedish Spring, then GSF. I don't like CM 7.1 because I absolutely want the ZTE Dialer, where Contacts has an extra tab for my groups.
Thus Elite Blade is an excellent choice.
Presently I have 2 Blades (one is extra spare).
On my regular Blade I use Elite Blade 1.1 and on my extra Blade I have installed Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie RLS6 as a reference. Every night I try to make statistics of battery consumption. My goal is to find a ROM and configuration with minimal battery drain. Every second night I switch batteries, so that the old battery and the new battery should not affect result. Sometimes I wipe battery stats from Recovery.
On both phones I try to make identical setup:
Partitioned ROM to 160 mb, 2g only, all data on, wifi on, widget news&weather sync every 6h, Facebook sync every 4h, JuiceDefender, LauncherPro, Gmail, Google+, Lookout, Titanium Backup.
On both phones I have noted nightly battery drops between 10 and 20% so I can't make any conclusions so far. Perhaps I should measure over longer time span, or use apps such as BetterBatteryStats.
But one thing is strange:
Both in the Elite Blade, and on the Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie Blade, sometimes mobile data is OFF (deactivated) after the nightly sleep, despite that I alway set it to ON.
I verify this by using the advanced power widget. When I pull it down from the main screen, sometimes the mobile data button is OFF (grey), resulting that the Data box in settings is unchecked. I don't think I touched (deactiveted) it by mistake. I touch the button again so that it is green. I expect mobile and background data to be always ON when I wake up the phone. Does anybody know what can cause this? Some strange app or some setting?
I now remove all un-needed junk that uses data, such as Facebook and widgets, then continue testing.
Edit 12.11:
I removed news and weather widget, facebook, Juice Defender, Lookout, Google+ on both test phones. During this nightly test, both phones used 10-11% battery durung 10 hours, with all data and wifi on. Data was not disabled. Thus my trouble may have been caused by e.g. JuiceDefender

Don't know. Probably no difference since they are based on same code. You should overclock to about 700 mhz for games.
I've just installed the S2 version with the updated kernel from 17/11/2011 ... and everything seems to working fine.
I've just reinstalled all my apps and settings with TB and all went well.
Very fast and smooth rom.
I'll looking forward to see if battery drain is ok ... It's obvious I can't tell now (just installed).
I have very bad connection with about all roms on my work , so will try this rom.
If it'(s the same , I'll keep it for sure ,and will look for an other carrier.
Thanks you elitemovil for this rom.
Hi 2 all!
I use the s1.1 rom on my ZTE Libra.
I would like to thank Elitemovil for this GREAT ROM! This is the best rom I've ever had! It's a leader in battery life - i can use my Libra without recharge for about 2-3 days! Earlier i tried CM7(1 day) and GSF(1,5 day).
Only one a little question i have:
can i change the buttons in power-widget on status line? I don't need the wi-fi, bt, gps buttons. I need 3G-2G, Sync, Sound buttons instead of them.
Kuoi, I'm eagerly awaiting your feedback of the S2.
Two questions:
a) How does the battery life,speed and memory consumption of this ROM compare to the previous (Froyo stock) ROMs?
b) Are there a any bugs/problems/todo/open issues for this ROM?
I would like your opinion before I flash this ROM.
Please and thank you in advance.

1 : I can't tell for now , I'll now charge full and will calibrate then . Overnight was -0% , so the overnight drain is proven to be good ;-)
2 : Didn't found any bugs or fc or anything. I even have connection with my carrier ;-)
Hope this helps a bit , Kuoi
By accident I found this discussion thread in the Blade General subforum.
I'm just wondering if it couldn't be useful to post experiences about this ROM in only ONE thread. And as there is an original thread, why not there?
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks, Kuoi.
Keep us informed of your findings.
I have to keep the stock rom on my new blades for two days so that my carrier can unlock them.
Until then, give feedback, please.
EDIT: Could you please inform me if this ROM has Portuguese (Portugal) locale.

Thanks again, Kuoi.
...battery life,speed and memory consumption?
Hello everybody...XD
I've been trying the "new" port of Cyanogenmod 9 (ICS), from the following topic:
[DEV][WIP] Ice Cream Sandwich Port (AOSP/CM9)
And after some weeks of dayly usage of build 4 with Update 1 i've decided to make a review of it.
The original post has a list of working and not working features, so first of all i'm going to comment and complete the ROM issues:
Bluetooth: It's not possible even to turn it on, so if you really use the bluetooth, forget it.
Wifi AP: The native tool doesn't work at all. The ROM includes the app Wifi-Tether, through this app you are able to turn on the Wifi-AP, other devices can see and connect but that's all, you can't actually use the internet .
Calendar: In the raw ROM it's not possible to syncronize your google calendar account, it can be solved by installing the GAPPS: link GAPPS...Thanks Halco (it also fixes a google+ app issue)
Camera(Photo): You can took photos but you can see them only after they are saved, through the gallery app, i mean the camera app has no live preview of the photo, only a black screen.
Camera(Video): You can't record videos period.
Videos: You can't watch videos, even youtube videos, youtube crashes when it attempts to reproduce the video.
Games: Forget every application which demands high processing .
Issues I've faced during usage:
Sometimes the phone crashes when you remove the power cable;
You cannot natively sync your facebook contacts (I've used this appfacebook contact-Sync.=P);
Sometimes all of a sudden the phone freezes, and you need to reebot it ;
It can take a bit to open the App Draw if you join the Apps and Widget Tabs, if you face this slowness go to Settings->Laucher->App Draw and uncheck Join with Apps;
The Data Usage (a native tool that keeps a track of your data usage) doesn't work;
Those were all the problems i had with this ROM, but all the other amazing Ice Cream Sandwich features are fully operative, so if you just like me don't use those missing tools go ahead it is a legendary SO with dozen of little features that make all the difference, all with an smooth interface...XD
Well this review is my attempt of a useful way to say thank you to the Developers...
Nice review, and yes you can post market links, just not links to warez websites.
Cheers

perhaps you can try the newest arakmar kernel with openFIMG update and tell us if sth changed

i've just installed...soon I post my experience
actually you should use latest openFIMG update with arakmars G3mod kernel. it improves overall performance and data usage feature works with the new kernel.
general assumption: when doing a review you might want to say some positive stuff about the ROM as you only said which features don't work. overall performance is good on ICS though trebuchet launcher consumes a lot of CPU power (but it's version 0.1, so there will be improvements anyway). there's no word on battery life, too, which is quite good for ICS.
[edit:] oops I was to slow
Good review,but to many problems,i will instal it in the future,ICS is amazing,
I like to add some more bugs

I like to add some more bugs,
- During the call when you press any key to interact with IVR the phone call goes to mute.
- Phone became very slow when you using is continuously.
A lot of faults but not much said about the features that are working so just thought I would go a bit further....
Widgets in appdraw
You can now view all widgets in the app draw without having to add them to the home screen, this is a staple feature of ICS and has been ported beautifully, it gives you a grid size in the draw too so you can see sizes.
Folders on homescreens
You can pile apps ontop of eachother to create folders so you can have all your messaging apps (whatsapp,fbmessenger, smmsmms) in one place. just click on it and it will open the folder to make your choice. it makes finding things quickly very simple, especially if you have alot of apps.
Apex Launcher
Apex launcher is a replacement launcher for trebuchet and helps run the new OS butter smooth. it also a little more customisable and user friendly and runs the best on this port. if you want fast and smooth, download it and push it to system/app for all functions
notification bar
the notification pull down bar on the port is alot more customisable than anything on GB or earlier OS's. add a weather option to it for a really sexy look.
Once installing the new gapps, they work absolutely fine, still a few syncing issues but all in all a decent attempt, the calendar especially is cleaner and more user friendly than previous builds.
extended power menu is working brilliantly, can go straight into download or recovery mode which i believe is now touch screen if i remember correctly... (please correct if wrong) and connecting to wifi is fast and reliable. There are many more things that really do show a huge amount of promise in this build, it is clear that given a little time and help with resources, these dev's are going to pull off what i personally didnt think possible. ICS ON G3!! D
Did some testing
I tested a view tastes of CM9. Was quite happy with the latest builds, however discovered a small issue that makes it a bit difficult to operate. I will describe it, hope this helps the developers.
First: Wifi, data is all working quite well, calender worked as I needed.
After flashing the rom CM9 systems work fine for about a day, after that when the phone goes into sleep you can wake it up, however the digitizer does not show any sign of life.
The screen however is fully functional, buttons operate.
After some random button pressing the digitizer migt start working, sometimes a reboot is the only solution.
However after a reboot sometimes it operates for half an hour and shows up problems with the digitizer again. I had this on both the G3 phones I owe (use one for testing).
Why it operates the first day after flashing without a problem is a little weird.
For the moment I'm back on Dutchmod 5.3
I lost the market (play store) after installing the G-apps given in the first post.
Looks like the G-apps from the above link is de-Odex.
Can any one give me a link to the odex G-apps?

I don't think gapps has odex and deodex apps
It is the ROM which is odexed and deodexed.
It works for icsforg3 build 4 so you can install it on any odex ROM
