This is probably the most silly question ever, but... are gapps included in the cm10 zip? (from official cm site)
I feel so stupid that i ask it, but i cant find any answer on that... i am a noob...
I also have 2 more questions.
1) Should I flash the nightly or the stable build?
2) Which way is safer: with rom manager or manually with cwm recovery?

These answers can be found pretty easily.
Gapps not included.

1) Depends. Do you want to flash and never really bother again? Stable. Want the latest features all the time? Nightly. Later has more chance of having bugs.
2) Both way work just fine. Recommend doing it manually via CWM though.

Thank you so much!!!
So, all I need to do is to flash the gapps after flashing cm10? Seems easy... But... Can i flash 4.2 gapps on cm10 stable rom?
And finally, if something goes wrong and my phone doesn't boot, will it work again after restoring my previous Stock rom?

Yes, that's all you need to do.
I wouldn't recommend flashing 4.2 gapps over CM10 stable.
Yes it will work again if you restore your nandroid backup. The Nexus S is next to impossible to brick. If you have any issue just ask here before going further and people can help you.

Yesterday I flashed CM10 stable, the ROM is fantastic but I noticed that the auto rotate doesn't work. Is it a known bug of the ROM or did I miss something?

Do i still have to install G-APPS?
Yes you still have to install GAPPs. I doubt that'll ever change.
I wonder if this one is still full of bugs like all the nightlies.
Haven't had any problems yet so far.

That's cool. I'm gonna let it play out for a little while before I switch to it. So far it's proved it's no good for day to day operations with all the bugs, but I'm hoping that's all been fixed with the stable release.
No good for day to day operations? I haven't tried out the nightlies, but I tried out the RC2 released about a month ago and haven't had any problems. Not sure what kind of bugs you are talking about.

Really? Maybe it was just me. I tried it for a while and went through a few nightlies, and there was just to many problems. One of the big issues I had was the device not rebooting. Yes I know how to get it to boot up, but it's a total pain. Had another big issue with the gapps package with some of the apps putting a huge drain on the battery. I absolutely love CM. I wish there was a total stable version (which now I guess there is). But for me to use it everyday, especially for work as well, I just can't justify having it with all the issues I had. I also had some issues with reception on the phone.
There is no such thing as a Bug-less CM release, 'Stable' maybe for some people. Will everything work as it should for everybody? not the case.

+1
the RC's are actually more stable for "most", but can still have issues for some.
on Nightlies you can have something working one night and it is changed and not working the next.
they are a WIP
the gapps flashing goes way back to an agreement btwn Cyanogen and Google. Forget details
I guess i do not know how to use tapatalk, did not mean to thank you especially 4 times. Anyways nightlies are not going to be stable.

Stable just means...that it is probably the most stable that cm will ever reach on a specific device...so not much point in waiting it out, I doubt it will get any more stable

Did you flash the 4.2.2 gapps? My KB kept crashing because I flashed the 4.3 gapps by mistake.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
I see what I did. PSA: you shouldn't flash things in the middle of the night when you are falling asleep! I flashed cm 10.1.2 and the 4.3 gapps. Whoops! Reflashed 10.1.3 and 4.3 gapps and i'm good to go.

I hope you mean 4.2 gapps because I think 4.3 gapps is only for 10.2CM
My G2 broke last week and I am using this Galaxy S3 until my G2 gets repaired.
It is currently running a VERY old version of CyanogenMod - CM10.1 20130713 EXPERIMENTAL version and ClockworkMod Recovery V6.0.3.1 which I know is quite old version.
I was wondering what steps I need to take to get this phone running a 4.4.x ROM? What should I flash first? Also any recommendations on 4.4.x ROMs - AOSP vs. TouchWiz?
Thanks in advance.

My recommendation would be to update ClockworkMod Recovery first. I think they're on to version 6.0.4.5 now, not sure though since I'm using TWRP instead.
In regards to choosing a ROM I think that depends on what you're into. Since you're already running CyanogenMod and you want 4.4 then you should probably take a look at CM11. I had mobile network/signal problems using the "Official" build so I'm using a Mastamoon unofficial build, it works great. Search for: cm-11-20140709-unofficial-mastamoon-d2lte.zip

Do I need to flash anything before going to a CM11 ROM from CM10?
I see in a lot of ROM threads about locked bootloader or certain baseband, etc.
Any advice on that? Anything I should be weary about?

Yeah you should probably upgrade to MF1. There is a link to it on the page for that particular ROM i had recommended. I don't think a locked bootloader will be an issue at this point since you've already got CM10 on there.

I rooted my 6045O last night and I'm excited to try a ROM on this phone. I seen the big thread on the CyanogenMod 12.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/ido...om-cyanogenmod-12-1-alcatel-onetouch-t3225533
But I wanna make sure it's the best ROM for this phone.
you cant read idol 3 section?
Wow thanks for being friendly to the new guy. As I stated, I seen the big thread on the CyanogenMod 12.1. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better ROM that you guys might know of before I put time into learning about that one.

I'm not for sure either.great work on all though.I'm leaning toward the dcz rom cause from my understanding its fast,smooth and I like stock style roms.
I didn't see a DCZ thread?
Sent from my 6045O using Tapatalk
If you gonna flash a ROM know that besides dcz, only fully working ROM is cm12.1 also I'm using 60450
Ok so those are my options. Thanks. Do you know any pros/cons of one vs the other?

Well do you want stock ROM with overclock kernel(DCZ) vs the beauty and customization of cyanogenmod?
All dcz rom is a almost fully debloated stock ROM and custom kernel made by team adrv.

If the stock rom did not have such lag I'd suggest the majority stick with it unless you had a specific reason not to. Since it DOES have lag, I'd suggest the i806/DCZ rom since it is a version of stock that should eliminate the lag and work fully with the hardware. All the other rom's have issues of one type or another.
Resurrection Remix still has several things wrong..the camera off the top of my head. CM12.1 still has issues. Currently the cm12.1 dev does not have the device in hand...neither does the resurrection remix dev....working on rom's without the device is similar to driving blindfolded. You are guaranteed to get SOMEWHERE but it may not be where you want to be.
There are only 3 real roms available other than original stock and I HIGHLY recommend you backup your stock with twrp so you can go back to it for system updates. Why are the system updates so important if you are on another rom? They are the only way you can get modem driver mods/improvements among other things.
I'm not sure which I'd prefer at the moment. Guess I'll just read lol

Cm 12.1 (10/29) is most stable on my idol 3 (6045i). Resurrection Remix is not stable. Random reboots, lag and speakers and cam don't work.

Thanks for the tips. I do like performance and stability over anything. So I'll check out DCZ. I've already backed up stock.

Hi.
I am new to this.
I am running RR for a while.
Every Time there's a new build up, dev instructs to flash latest CM NIGHTLY.
I was thinking - why not just run the Nightly build as a daily rom?
Am I missing something? Is it strictly for development purposes?
I am looking for rock solid stability mainly.
Thanks!

That's usually only recommended if there's a change in firmware in CM. It's not necessary to flash CM13 every time before flashing RR. I've never even used RR but I'm sure that's the only reason he would advise to flash CM.
Latest CM13 works great, rock stable at the moment so if you wanna switch go ahead
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
CM nightlies contain firmware files in it. So what the dev wants is for you to update to the latest working firmware from CM nightly, and when you flash RR after, the firmware stays.
