Hello, I just rooted my Galaxy S3 for Verizon for the first time yesterday, therefore I am fairly new to this. After I flashed CM10 using TWRP, my Google apps are gone. I've tried flashing gapps on TWRP but it gives me a message saying "unfortunately, Google Play has stopped working." I know that this is due to the licensing issues and all, so my question is, what ROMS can I flash that has GApps available in it?
Thanks in advance!

To answer your question, any TW based roms will have Gapps with it. So practically any rom in the Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development forum would have it. To your issue, are you sure you flashed the right Gapps version? Just as reference you can get any version from here http://goo.im/gapps I assumed you flashed 10.1 version of CM since they are the latest which you should be using the 20130301 version of Gapps following the table that is on that website.
This might be a stupid question, but where can I find this forum? And yes, I did flash that version of Gapps... And correction; I have the 10.0.0-d2vzw version of CM. Am I supposed to get another version of Gapps? I really like this ROM and I want to try it out for a few weeks until I switch to a new one.

Forum section for us is http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708 Go there and click on Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development forum. If you look at the website link I gave you, they have a table. On the left, it shows the CM versions and on the right shows the corresponding Gapps version you are suppose to use with that CM version. Since you are using 10.0.0, if you look on the left you will see 10.0.x and on the right, you will see the corresponding gapps version 20121011. You use that version for CM 10. Btw if you find CM 10 interesting go to the Verizon Galaxy S III Original Android Development forum. They have roms based on CM, AOSP, AOKP, etc. Be sure to read up more on flashing since you are pretty new to this. Bricking phones isn't fun lol
What ROMS do you personally recommend? And I know! I almost bricked it yesterday, and trust me, it was not fun at all.

Depends on your preference. If you are into the Stock TouchWiz look but without the bloat that verizon puts, I recommend CleanRom. I also recommend it to people who are new to flashing since it is a pretty simple rom. This rom is pretty much as close as you can get to getting stock reliability. If you want to go into a more customize it yourself TouchWiz roms, I would suggest SynergyROM, Jelly 'Beans' Rom, Hyperdrive, or Axis. Besides each having their own tweaks and sometimes themes, during install, you get to choose which apps/settings/kernel/theme, you want to have, so pretty much you get to customize almost all aspects of the rom to your liking. They all also get updated on a somewhat regular basis. You will have to flash all of them and play with them to see which one is to your liking.
For CM 10.1 based roms, CM 10.1 Nightlies, Slimbean, Carbon Rom. I would be careful with these roms, as they are a bit temperamental with some phones. Most of the time you are fine and you won't get into an issue but the times that you do, you will have to read through the threads to see if there is a solution to it.
There are also the PARANOIDANDROID and ParanoidKANGdroid roms, I haven't personally tried them but heard good things, they are also based on CM 10.1
I really appreciate your help, bro. For now, I'll stick to the CM 10.1 ROM that I just flashed. It's good so far, and I finally got t solve my issue of gapps thanks to you.
Great example of helping someone! Posts like this are the reason why I became a member of this site and fell in love with it (actually my wife calls it addiction)! I wish there were more people helping others like this, it would only make this forum better.
Hi guys,
I need help!
I have a tab 2 7.0 P3110, on Android 4.2.2, and it is soooo laggy!
I have taken out all widgets, and uninstalled a lot of apps, but still it is very slow.
Will rooting it help? If so, can someone point me to the instructions to root it, and also which one would be best for me (mostly browsing, reading emails and using some of the widgets. No gaming or anything like that)?
Hoping to turn around my tablet and get a few more years out of it. At the moment, it is almost unusable with the laggy performance.
Thanks!!
Root the device is just getting the administrator permissions only.
However you can flash the new 3rd parties rom like CM11 (which you need the newest CWM recovory)
Or install some apps like greenfiy / auto memory manger from Google Play store.
These should be helpful to your tab to reduce the laggy.
You may also Google these to know more about rooting
Hope these help for you.
Thanks!
I am using greenify and memory management, but it is still not smooth. I feel it us samsung's bloat were which is mainly to blame. Which ROM would be best, as close as possible to the native android image, or perhaps better? Any links for installation would be very appreciated.
We can't tell you which ROM is best for you. Best way is try a few yourself as amny as you can and settle for one which you like the most. I would suggest you to check Samsung Tab 2 Android Development Forum. All Roms are listed there and installation instructions are included in first/second post of each ROM Thread.
I am using SlimKat Rom for last one and half years in my Tab 2. its stable version 8.0 now.

Cogbytes, have you ever tried CM rom (Whatever which version)?
I would like compare the performance between slimkat and CM.
Main difference in CM and SlimKat is features only. Performance is almost same unless you use different kernel (other than stock). I used CM for a few months too. SlimKat interface and tweaks are a bit more satisfactory than CM, but its my opinion only. Its worth to try to SlimKat stable version atleast once.
I have a WiFi Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0"). I bought this for the SOLE purpose of swapping it into my vehicle as the main media source - radio, video, navigation. I need to root it for a few pieces of software to make this an easy swap (mostly need it to behave like a newer LG phone where you double tap to wake up) so I need a custom kernel and/or ROM to enable this feature via software I guess... So, if I wanted a custom ROM, what is the most STABLE ROM to date. I have used probably 15 different ROM's between my S3, Note2 and older phones and with just about every one of them, there was some random problem with glitches or restarts... Just want this to be as seamless as possible.
I have found Slimkat to be very stable on my 5113. I wanted a tablet that had a very light ROM and Slimkat delivered.

Slimkat had some sound issues on my 5113, Omnirom works great for me!
I think the best way is to install one, make a backup in TWRP and then you can wipe and try other roms.
Running CyanogenMod 10.2.1 for the last year and it's lite and super stable, no glitches nothing wierd. Everything works. W/great battery life. Check out

I am going through the process of assessing the last official release for the Tab 2 7" and 10.1" (4.2.2) and comparing them to the last official stable release from CM and the CM11 nightlies.
I can tell you that so far, as much as I hate the TW interface, the last official stock ROM is stellar for battery life. I seem to remember (But been too long to trust the memories) that the last official stable CM10 was really really good on battery and overall performance/stability.
I am commenting on the progress in the p5110 experimental forum at CM if you want to follow. my user name there is Frontlinegeek.
The CM11 nightlies are stable. I have been running them since December and never had any issues.

Oh they are plenty stable but there is a known KitKat battery drain issue in it that has not been fixed. You need to install a custom Kernel to get around the issue till they finally fix it in the official ROM downloads from CM.
I used Dhollmen's Kernel to get past the issue.
I had stupidly not done any research on XDA over the issue and have since moved back to CM11 nightlies and the mentioned Kernel and the battery life is stellar. Again.

Interesting, because in the two years I have owned my tab 2 and the 6 months I've owned my LG g2, I have never had to flash a custom kernel. I guess I just get lucky. [emoji41]
Ya, I never had an issue on CM10 or with CM11 in the early days but it cropped up in the spring and I was far too tolerant of the issue all this time. Only learned that it can be an issue this week.

Good but an issue
First of all i want to thank you for this rom. However, have you had an issue with the multitasking button? Mine doesnt work. I can press it but nothing happens except a blank screen. Any fix?
Hello, would you solve IR Blaster issue ? I use your rom for a week now and I find it fantastic, except that I have to get up my bed to turn of TV ?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
still waiting for new version of CM 11 for n8000
No Mobile internet
I have installed cm-11-20141031-UNOFFICIAL-n8000.zip but it seems there is no mobile internet. I can only connect over internet via Wi-Fi.
Is this correct, or am I doing something wrong?

Unofficial Rom Question
Hi,
Im currently running CM10.2 as an official rom on N8010. If I flash this, would i still be able to keep getting nightly and snapshot downloads from Cyanogenmod or any latest updates from your builds in cmupdater? Instead of manually flashing for each new update.
Thanks

No. Official support for our devices ended at 10.2
S-pen?
Hi everyone,
I need to know how well the S-Pen works with this (or any other custom) ROM.
I use my 8010 extensively, as a note taking device. In my work, I rely on the s-pen heavily. I do all my research work on an app called Lecture Notes and rely on Dropsync app to upload my work to dropbox. I would like to install a custom rom that is cleaner and faster than the original, but s-pen functionality is a make-or-break issue for me. I would appreciate any feedback on this.
Thank you all.

Let me start off by saying that I have yet to find a custom ROM for our device that does NOT have s-pen support. OmniROM, CarbonROM, CM11, all have the s-pen working great, and in apps like Papyrus, or any app that uses the pen specifically, I think an AOSP based ROM is far more responsive than any of the variations of Stock Touchwiz ROM's out there. The only features you will not see on an AOSP based ROM is Air Command, S-Note, or that stupid blue circle cursor that follows the pen hover. Although there are solutions for most of these available in Play Store.
I suggest you take the red pill, and find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.
wifi not working
wifi is not working with my n8000, it couldn't be connected to the wifi router or a hotspot that shared by Nexus 7
but the hspa+ was working.
why ?
baseband N8000ZCCMH1
rom 20141031
Microphone in a wired hands free
It is peculiar that after the most recent update, my wired hands free stopped working. The headphones work, the button works, but the microphone is silent. I have tried to use a solution from a separate thread - changing gt-n8000 file in /system/etc/sound but it did not help. Don&t you know if it is possible to solve the problem?

IR Blaster Disabled
Love the ROM.
When I updated from stock Android 4.1 to this ROM, I lost functionality of the IR Blaster.
Would love to be able to use my remote apps.
Thanks!
I have a N8010.
But when I try to install the ROM, CWM tells me that my device is p4noterf (N8000).
rom weird issues
Hi, 1st post here =D
I tried to flash this rom to my 8010 with both cmw and twrp and both times it gave me a message that said that my device was n8000. It actually isn't. Anyway since I really wanted to have cm11 on my tablet i flashed the n8000 rom and it worked. The only issues that I found is that the menu button doesn't on work on home screen when using nova launcher, that a process called cell standby is hogging the battery and that I cant unmount the SD card.
Now this is the 3rd device that I root and install cm11 and its the 1st time I've had these issues. If anyone could shed some light and maybe advice I would appreciate it very much.

I had the same issue and I managed to flash the N8000 rom and it works. I just have a problem with the menu button when using nova launcher.
android boot loop?
This mod may not be for my tablet, so I am seeking confirmation.
tablet is GT-N8013 (I assume it is a wifi model, bought it used on ebay. It is not connected through any wireless service)
using CWM v6.0.3.6
android version 4.1.2
I did a factory reset, wiped dalvik and cache.
I had to edit the file as per the FAQ to get the mod to load. When it rebooted it would just 'hang' at the android scroll (hope that makes sense).
Maybe this ROM is not for my tablet? I have used Cynogen on many other devices and like the build.
I was hoping to get this running on my tablet.
Any assistance or confirmation that it is not compatible is greatly appreciated.

Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 currently running the Vodafone official Lollipop ROM. I find it very sluggish and would like to speed it up.
Would I see any benefit in rooting my phone and going to CM13 or an alternative Marshmallow ROM ?
I have 2 apps that I use constantly - IBM Verse and VPNCilla, both of which I use for work. Would both of these apps work
on a custom ROM, as this would be a deal breaker if they did not.
If all of the answers to the above were yes, where would be the best place to download the necessary ROM etc, as it has been a while since I have done this.
Many thanks,
Simon

Yes marshmallow is more smooth relative to lollipop.
As for your apps it depends on the ROM, if the ROM you are using has a VPN bug it means you won't be able to use vpncilla properly ,just check known issues of the ROM before flashing to make sure
XDA is the good place to find development
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3238064 try any other if you don't like it ,lots of marshmallow based ROMs out there nowadays
