[Q] ROMS with GApps?

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.

Daily driver material?
Hi!
Just wondering..is this rom good enough for daily use? Is it better than stock 4.1.2 (4.2.2 is terrible btw) because i do bot know whether to flash this or not. Also, can you flash it using cwm as I dont really like the TWRP ui

I think it's stable enough for daily use. I use it for many days without any restart or any problem.
You have to update to 4.2.2 first (It won't work on 4.1.x bootloader)
You must know to backup whatever data you don't want to loose cause a full wipe is needed.
Read the first post for warnings, bugs etc. The main bug is bluetooth headset (if you own one).
And yes, you can install from CWM. Instructions on first post.
Also, read third post to keep it fast as long and as "hard" as you use it.

I think @Bestaki23 should compile with 240dpi density.

@sujith88 no, for custom roms you need custom recovery ( CWM or Philztouch)

How to get sources for CM11 for I9105P?
In "[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][M11]Cyanogenmod 11.0" the location of the device specific source code is given as https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog..._samsung_s2vep and https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog...ys2plus-common and https://github.com/SamsungBCM-Cyanog...ys2plus-common.
How can I set up a build environment for the I9105P? I already read (an understood) "Learning to build Cyanogenmod" and getting the CM11 sources with repo is no problem, the only problem remaining is how to specify the above mentioned two device specific sources. Can this be done with a local mainfest in the local_manifest directory? If yes, how does this have to look like and what steps are necessary to sync with these two repositories? Are additional steps specific to the I9105P necessary to start a build?

Vibration
So you said the rom is good for daily use... In the main thread I saw numerous comments about vibration being buggy and sometimes non functional. Is this true? The 4.4.2 cm11 by cooldevelopement has fully working vibration. So should I flash cm11 m11 (4.4.4) or 4.4.2? And in the m11 build, are there any other bugs apart from whats listed under "known issues"? Now Android lollipop is just round the corner I hope to have at least the second latest android version :/ 4.1.2 is starting to show it's age when it comes to app compatibility...

Hi, thanks for replying! I already know there is a 4.2.2 offical firmware for the s2 plus, thanks. I dont know about you, but when I updated it I experienced major lag issues, even after doing a factory reset, claering cache, reflashing, etc. Its overall a terrible update from the almost bug free 4.1.2. However, 4.1.2 is soon 3 versions behind and I was looking into flashing one of these awesome looking ROMs that are running 4.4. (Just love how AOSP looks :3) However, I dont really know which ROM i should flash
I think I have decided to flash a cm rom, anyways, but which version should I flash? I used cooldevelopement's cm11 4.4.2 rom in the past, which seems mostly bug free. However I switched back to stock 4.1.2 due to the old youtube app versions having the pixelated vid that the 4.2.2 stock rom used to suffer from. Is this 4.4.4 cm Better or worse than the older 4.4.2 cm I installed before? Thanks in advance sorry for a long message

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 ?

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

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

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.

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.

[Completed] Sprint Galaxy S4 - Lost Usage of Stock and 3rd Party Equalizers

Hello, new member to the forum here. I've just been through an ordeal trying to get Viper4Android working on my Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 running stock Lollipop 5.0.1. I've finally given up on V4A (enforcing kernel). Anyway, my problem is that somewhere during the course of trying to get V4A to work, I lost usage of the stock music player and equalizer. I'm getting a quick pop message that states the equalizer is "occupied" when trying to run the stock music player (it just crashes after this message). V4A has been uninstalled. The phone is still rooted with Busybox and SELinux installed. I don't really need the stock music player, however, Spotify now will not run any type of equalizer (one is not even listed in settings).
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried searching XDA as well as the internet to no avail.

Hi, thank you for issued XDA Assist. I see you already know where your device's specific forum is so I won't link you to it. It's difficult to tell what you might have changed while trying to install viber4android so the best I can suggest is to flash the stock firmware or a custom Rom and start over again.

Hey thanks. I've searched through everything on this site. Anyway, I'm strongly thinking about CM. Little confused about which version to choose. CM 11 is the latest "stable/snapshot" build for the S4. However, I was advised that there is very little to no risk running a CM 12.1 nightly build on it. So, should I just go to the CM 12.1 download page for my model phone and download the latest one? Or would it be safer to go back to a snapshot CM 11 build? Everyone seems to love 12.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500) | ROM Suggestion

Hi guys, I use Android 5.0.1 stock version on my phone, but it uses too much space.
I want to flash a new custom rom, which is lighter, and better than this. I used CyanogenMod but it only has nightly version, and it was not really stable(it still has camera, snapchat, on call problems).
So I am asking if you can suggest me a stable, lightweight and nicely designed(like touchwiz or cm) ROM.
thank you for your time.

You're not the first person to make this mistake, but this is the wrong forum. This forum is for the Galaxy S 4G, a first generation Galaxy S device that was released in 2010. The forum you're looking for is located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/.
There,, you'll find many, many different opinions on what ROM/kernel combination is best, search and read through the threads. Also, since its a Exynos-based device, Custom ROMs are very difficult to make and most will have at least some bugs.
