SPH-L170 d2spr update/upgrade Cynagenmod & gaaps - General Questions and Answers

OK so I rooted my sprint galaxy s3, and installed cynagenmod with the current gaaps(at the time).
I have upgraded cynagenmod several times through
>settings>about phone>CynagenMod updates
At one point I stopped running cm updates because goomanger prompted me of a new version of gaaps. I was not sure if I needed the current gaaps to also update to a newer release of cynagenmod.
I am currently running
10.1-20130304-EXPEREMENTAL-d2spr-M2
I would like to upgrade to
10.1.2 (stable build)
I have TWRP as my recovery,
Can I just flash both the upgrade for cm and gaaps and not have to reset my phone?
I am not sure if I need to do a full fresh install, because I recall various upgrades making changes to the boot partition.
So I guess I am looking for the proper procedure to upgrade/update cm and gaaps.
When a fresh install is necessary, and the order in which gaaps needs to be installed..., before? simultaneously? Or after?
thanks

[Q] Can I skip an update of a ROM?

Hello. Will ask the question straight:
Is it possible to skip an update of a custom rom and install the latest one?
Currently using the [ROM][DEV] CyanogenMod 10.1 JB 4.2.2 - Androidarmv6 [RC2 - 17/04/2013 Beta 7 and there are two updates (RC 1 & RC 2)
My point is if it's possible to update the ROM straight to RC 2 while skipping RC 1. Does it harm the smartphone and i assume it it safe to do it via the CWM.

Yes, you are safe to skip. The latest release will be having all updates from the previous release.
Thought so. Thanks mate!
You're perfectly safe. You're wiping the system partition anyway when you're installing a new ROM so no data would remain from the previous ROM.

It updated successfull. The ROM seems to lack a bit of ram memory gonna wait for a future release hoping for ram consume improvements. Thanks guys!

help with flashing cm 10.1

soo i have baked bean rom on my tab right now witch is a unoffical cm10.1 i think and i havent updated it in a long time so i think i should switch to cyangenmod. now i looked at cm10.2 on xda first and i noticed jb bootloaders that you would have to flash with odin, i dont know how to do this, for cm 10.1 should i just have to flash the stable zip and gapps??
I am running the stable release of CyanogenMod 10.1.2_p3100
I downloaded the .zip file and gapps for 4.2.2 and pasted both to my sdcard.
Then I went to CMW mode
cleared the cache,files of previous ROM
flashed the CM10.1.2 stable release for p3100 zip
after that again I flashed the gapps for 4.2.2 zip
and rebooted my device. Now my tab is running it perfectly.
Procedure is same, Be sure to download the correct zip for the correct model number (mine is p3100) and the gapps for 4.3 (because cm10.2 is running 4.3)
You can browse gapps by below link

If you're coming from Jellybean, there's no need to flash JB bootloaders prior to flashing CM 10.1 or 10.2.

ok thanks xD just recently I got my hands on a galaxy s cappy and in order to get gingerbread and up roms I had to flash gingerbread bootloaders, if I didn't it would screw up the phone so I thought this was the same way with my tab.

10.1 is JB that is why you don't need to flash the JB Booloader for flashing 10.2 which is also JB.

[Q] CyanogenMod 10.2 Stable Release.

Hello guys, I need some help! My GT-P3113 which is running stock 4.1.1 rooted, has a problem with WiFi. I checked the modem, network settings but nothing happened. So I wiped data and cache with C.W.M. I booted up succesfully on 4.1.1 (from the beginning), and I followed the usual process:
Choose your country - date and time - add Samsung account (I skipped it) - add Gmail account (ERROR,ERROR,ERROR).
So I thought that I have to flash a custom ROM in order to get my tablet fixed.(not to mention that custom ROMS are better than stocks). I thought of CM 10.2 but I noticed that for GT-P31XX devices, everyone is flashing a nightly and not a stable release of 10.2 . And I would like to ask you, what would happened if I flashed the CyanogenMod 10.2 stable. If it's not bad, can someone tell me how to install it?
A huge thanks to everyone

Stable that's mean it can be use for daily use and have less bugs, maybe there's no bugs
but , i'm not sure if cm10.2 is exist, you can check it on cyanogenmod sites
for instal it, you have to rooted your phone and have installed cwm recovery for instal the rom
CM10.2 Stable not exist for Galaxy Tab 2 at the moment, but the nightlys are much stable.
Maybe take a look on SlimBean 4.3.1 Stable 2.2 - i love it

@dimsar2013
Don't worry about "stable", it is just a label. CM10.2 nightly builds for Tab 2 are already very stable, I use one from October 17th and it is bug-free.
Slimbean 4.3 Stable 2.2 is awesome!!! The device runs very smoothly and the battery life is so big!!!!! It is an amazing ROM. Way more better than the Stock TouchWiz themed ROM.

[Q] Updated to 4.4 and Flashed PA gapps, now apps won't download?

Hi. I updated to an unofficial Carbon 4.4 kitkat build. I flashed the PA gapps and rebooted.
Normally my phone would autodownload all my apps that I had installed previously, but it didn't this time.
Anyone know why?
It happens sometimes ... Wipe and reinstall again ... I usually go back to a nandroid version to re-sync Google then reinstall and all works well

[Q] XT926 won't boot after installing cyanogenmod

I am trying to install my first custom ROM on my XT926 ota kk 4.4.2 rooted bootloader unlocked. I have cwm 6.0.4.4 and I have tried installing cm 10.2 stable and then I tried cm 11 snapshot and it says it has installed .zip files successfully but when I reboot it just hangs up on the M logo and I have to restore my ota to get my phone to reboot, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I believe most of the Roms in the Dev forum are still using 4.1.2 base, which means you cant flash them unless you go back to jb first.
There are some 4.4 test builds around you could flash on kk, sorry I don't have the link to them.

I tried one of the cm 11 ROMs from cyanogenmod's website, are you saying that those are also designed for the 4.1.2 kernel? If so does anyone have any suggestions on how to revert back to the jelly bean kernel, Also I was wondering if its OK to download the custom rom.zip file directly to the phone and put it in the right directory instead of moving it from the computer.
Unless they were updated to 4.4 source in the last week, I would say they are still on jb source. Most of the Roms you will find are a jellykat mix.
I posted a guide in the general forum, near the bottom you will find a pre-edited jb file you can use to flash with rsd.
Yes you can DL Roms right to your phone if you wish.
