here is the link for 4.3 JB Gapps

Now you guys must be thinking y have i posted the Chinese version when global works on all the Redmi 1S models well the reason is

i personally have observed that the Chinese Rom gets the Updates much more quicker then the global

it can be used by a person who does not know Chinese there a option for English in the Start up itself

after you delete the Chinese Apps install the minimal Gapps i get more Free RAM (approx 300mb to 350mb) then Global version which usually has (200mb to 250mb)

the phones does not heat as much as it heats in Global version but the heating is still there

Now you might be thinking what to do with these zip files ?

Those zip files contain the files that can reset or update your phone from a lower version to higher or if your phone is stuck at bootlogo or bootanimation flashing these zip files will help you recover your soft bricked phone

Before i start with how to flash a update or a rom pls let me tell you guys
