This rom, entitled MiniCM9, is ported from LG Pecan (Optimus Me/P350) which I believe is smoother than current CM9 nightly build while also provide extra settings. I ported this because I wanted an up-to-date version of CM9 which has minimal bugs and doesn't have unnecessary apps that will slowing it down, so this is CM9.1 with many apps removed which you won't miss.​

MiniCM9 Theme:​
MiniCM9 theme, is the valid successor for MiniCM6 and MiniCM7 legacy.
It is designed as close as possible to the original specs of ICS, in order to be a lightweight, beautiful alternative to the stock theme. However it is tweaked in several parts of the UI, in order to fit better to our small device's screen.

Yes u can.

Dude i tried this ROM, and noticed two great things, super smooth, and light. But there are 2 other things i'd like to say. First of all, why is the color light blue? Even the Play Store icon looks light blue, instead of the original. Is it some graphic bug or the rom is like that? Please tell me how to fix it. Second, the keyboard is too large. It occupies half of the screen, and looks odd. Can that be fixed too, but that is not much of a problem.
Also I'd like to say, what is Swap feature in Performance settings? How does it work and what are the optimal settings? And what is that "Undervolt GPU" feature?

Installed succefull!
I installed this ROM and It's working very smooth!
One question: does it has not support for other languanges than English? how to install language pack?
Cheers!

It's MiniCM9 theme you saw on 2nd post. You can select Original ICS theme on Settings > Themes.

Please use google to search about swap on linux. I can't explain here as it will be off topic and too lengthy.

currently stuck with jc v6 as its my daily driver Cant move on easily ! Next rom change would be this for sure Will be waiting

---

I am very happy with this rom finally i can use ics fast as stock gingerbread.

---

Great!! i'll try this one Thank you Andwie, i really love all your roms!

---

Someone please clarify this for me if I don't want SD merge I should just flash the ROM as usual right? I just want the ROM without the SD merge

---

GAPPs?
1.) Is this ROM has GAPPs pre-installed?
If YES, can you create one which has no GAPPs...?
If NO, Nice :good:
2.) Is it Non-SDMerg User Accessible? Or just like JCv6 (which is for SDMerg user only)
Cause I'm not a SDMerg user (Can't see why you should, since there's Link2SD. Your arguments are invalid )
3.) Can I use my Modded System Applications (SystemUI.apk, framework.jar, Settings.apk) from my Stock CM9-20130929 and push it within MiniCM9?
4.) Can you kindly share what files did you trimmed to make it a ~75MB-sized ROM? I'm just curious...
5.) I like to make my own Theme App as a System-Default Theme. How can I do that? Or if ever so, where's the directory for it?
6.) Thanks a lot for the New ROM. Will try it soon, since I can't use it as of now (random issues)... And also thanks if you would answer my Qs
