[Q] CM/Gapps questions - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I see different Gapps zips for different versions of CM but don't understand the version connection. I assume using one version of Gapps on different version of CM isn't recommended, but what if one only wants certain Gapps and not the rest? I want Play store, maps, search but not much else. Do I install zip and then delete unwanted apps or do I install APKs that I have already on other S3 that's not rooted but has latest versions automatically? Both are currently ICS...and I'm not interested in JB.

[Q] How to make the most out the official GB

Hi all,
I can't help it, but I just prefer the HTC roms above the custom ones.
For me there are two downfalls in the use of the official HTC GB.
1- the missing of Sense 2.1
2- individual stock apps aren't updated to there latest versions. (gallery, internet etc.)
The whole memory issue I will leave out of this discussion for now.
I will probably try to root my desire with the new tool from Revolutionary any time soon. After that I will try to fix the two issues.
Where can I find, and how do I install the latest versions of the stock apps. Dose anyone keeps a database of some sort of these updates stock apps? Can I install these on the current sense 2.0 or do I have to have 2.1 for this?
I tried to dissect a sense rom, but it's just not working out. I don't know which apk's are what.
Several threads speak of removing certain apps, but I can't seem to find much about updating the apk's.
Tnx a lot!

Gapps issue

Well im from Venezuela south América, i bought my Gnex from Amazon and it came with yakju 4.0.2... I upgraded via OTA to 4.0.4 IMM76D and had issues with signal drops and known issues from that version.. So i rooted / unlocked and started trying different roms.
The one i liked more was AOKP And so flashed m4 and now im on m5 and have no issues at all but no matters wich custom rom i choose, i gotta flash gapps as a side zip, and i know they are not open source so devs can not include em with the rom but, my phone out of the box and even if i flash an official Google image i can have all google apps such as google maps and etc
I managed to download most of them with market enabler cuz they are not all included in the gapps. Zip we gotta flash with custom roms
But when ever i try to download google maps, market enabler will show me the App in the market list but no matters what it wont let me download the App, it says is not available in my country and i want that app.. So would be someone so kind and share the App here for me?
Thanks in advance

Im not quite sure are you saying you dont want to or cant install the gapps pack or just that you want the extra google apps aswell?
The gapps pack is more than just some google apps and its adviseable to flash it.
Mark.
I ve installed gapp pack but also need google maps and can not install from market

Try googling 'google maps 6.7' you will find plenty of places that have the apk to download and flash manually.

[Q] Android 4.2 + Gapps = constant FCs

Hey all,
I decided to flash Jelly Belly 10.0 (4.2) and everything works fine until I flash the GAPPS- I've tried three different jb GAPPS from three different sources, and whenever I flash them, the next boot and from there on out is "setup wizard has stopped" and "com.android.GAPPs has stopped...", mostly giving me a Setup Wizard has stopped popup though, and it's keeping me from using the phone at all- not even pull down settings are responding.
Any ideas, maybe I'm not supposed to flash jb GAPPS?
Thanks!
AFAIK most of the 4.2 roms out include gapps in them, so there's no need to flash it over. Also, no official gapps package is out for 4.2 yet (most seem to contain pre-release versions of the 4.2 apps). That could be your problem.
I know what you're saying, but I'm also flashing the GAPPS linked in the ROM's original thread.... I also looked at the Pure AOSP 4.2 ROM for the VZW Nexus, they're linking to some 4.2 GAPPS package...I'll give it a go.
Thanks for replying!
Edit: Yeah that did it... For anyone else using Jelly Belly or any other AOSP 4.2 ROM, get GAPPS from here: http://old.bitsurge.net/android/gapps-4.2-JOP40C-121117.zip

Running CM10.1.3, want to flash CM10.2 Nightly?

So, I have been running 10.1.3 for a while, and now that 4.4 is out, I want to flash a 10.2 nightly (4.3) so I am not too far behind.
However, When I try the usual way of updating the ROM through the CM Updater, my google apps dont work... (like play store, messaging, dialer, etc.).
I will be flashing GApps to see if it fixes it, but does anyone know if it will?
Thanks!

It might work, but my best recommendation is to clean install CM 10.2 since updating from CM 10.1 could cause a lot of errors.
Thanks for the reply!
So flashing the gapps package seemed to work! However, the Google Apps (drive, hangouts, music) would force close.. But a simple uninstall and reinstall fixed that issue.
Running 10.2 snapshot m1 now with no issues! Can't wait for cm 10.3!

[Q] Gapps question

When it comes to gapps is there any reason to go with anything besides PA's version of them for non tw roms?
I am trying to save space by not having the cm version then the pa version and then whatever other version some rom says I need.
What I would like to do is keep a set of the different packages of the pa gapps and the pa ota update app so I can just install the gapps and the app and if an update is available then the ota app will just take care of it.
No one has an opinion?
