orginally based on FREEZA'S stock mj4 deodex (a deodex version of the stock mj4 files with root)
[MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] -- [ROM|StockRooted] 11/6/13 Sprint TouchWiz Jelly Bean 4.3 (N900PVPUBMJ4) Odex/DeOdex - xda-developers
NEW BASE.
now shares a new base with the MiniN3 MINIMUS project.
this is a clean sheet base designed to further refine all further projects.
Completly debloated of all uneccassary apks and duplicate files.
left all base calls and libraries.


STOCK KERNEL
no overclock (in my opninion for most uses there is no real need)
currently I feel its the most stable.
(also want to make sure any issues are not kernel related for now)
though you may feel free to install any kernel you like.

Please accept my humble apologies for missing your post and the opportunity to welcome you to AF, mjcollum!

Welcome! :D

I have been running this rom on my phone for the past few days with ZERO problems! It is silky smooth and fast and has great battery life! All while retaining the features that the N3 are popular for.

Thank you, again, for your efforts on these roms that you have provided!
