Well I found the Destroyer V2 download links and flashed it. The only thing I need to figure out is if I can possibly flash the latest CM gapps with it, since Destroyer is based on CM. I know the OG Destroyer Rom you had to have specific gapps.
I have no market and am in need of help ASAP. Any info would be greatly appreciated much.
Thanks!
I would say yes. Gapps will have market and all other google stuff you need.
Edit = Looks like it will work. It is a themed cm7 rom.
The only way you will find out whether or not the latest gapps work will be to flash them yourself, or you could just flash the original Destroyer 2 gapps. Here are all the links you should need, and then maybe some.

Just remember to flash each item, then reboot the phone before flashing the next one, (ROM, reboot, gapps, reboot,...) or the phone will either get stuck or bootloop.
While I understand that most (if not all) ROM devs are not going to provide support if using any gapps package besides what they post in their OP, I am curious, which gapps people have had the most success with?
I have come up with a list of main ROM gapps packages, not including inverts:
1. task650's gapps - newest build 6/12/13
2. PA gapps - newest build 6/15/13
3. SlimROM gapps - newest build 6/22/13
4. Official gapps - newest build 3/1/13
5. MIUI gapps - newest build 6/23 (not sure if these are the right ones, just the first ones I found)
The two main gapps packages I tend to lean towards are task650's and the PA gapps, and I haven't flashed the official gapps package since the first time I flashed a custom ROM
My main curiosity is this: which gapps take the fullest advantage of the features of the widest variety of ROMs? Is it best to flash task650's if you're using an AOKP-based ROM, since his ROM is AOKP, and PA gapps on a PA-based ROM? When is the best time to use official gapps? Does the individual gapps package affect things like AOKP's Dark UI, PAC-Man's "PAC in Black", and SlimROM's TRDS?
Bear in mind, I am talking mainly about either AOKP-, CM-, or PA-based ROMs, as I don't use MIUI, even though I did include a link.

The Gapps are nothing more than apps google won't let you package with AOSP ROMs. There isn't a ''better'' package per say, just look under system/app and check which one are included in there. Also, most of the time, the date is the latest app update so the difference you'll see is when you flash it, you might have to update your app through the store (often the case with Google Search in the past).

I know what gapps are, and what the dates mean. There are definitely packages that are different or include different apps. My question wasn't "what are gapps", but "which gapps go better with which ROMs?"

Slim gapps, for example, are multi DPI because their ROM has a different DPI. Same goes for paranoid. If you're not using either ROM, then I personally use tasks gapps on my other Roms.

I would say to use the gapps that is in the OP of the ROM thread. I think some of them are tweaked for the ROM. I'm guessing that if you don't use the gapps in the OP and ask the dev/devs for help you will hurt their feelings. *cough* *cough* task *cough* *cough*
i currently have gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip flashed, which is the official package i assume.
do the more recent (date-wise) packages have any advantage?

The 03/01 gapps are the "official" ones, in that they come from the CM team. The newer dated packages usually have more up-to-date apps in them, and depending on the source, can have different apps entirely.

Unless the ROM dev says different, use this chart:

I usually use tasks gapps. It includes calendar, which I use. Currently running Novagen rom, which is Rootbox based.

Does anybody know if there is a certain GApps to flash with the Pac-Rom 4.3 nightlies or can we use the 20130813 GApps. Just wondering and thanks ahead of time.

I use the PA Gapps and don't seem to have an issue, but since they don't specify i don't think it really matters which Gapps you use. I think the 20130813 is probably the intended default Gapps to go to.
Is it true that CM10.x and inverted gapps don't play well together?
I've just gone back to CM (10.3) and I cannot find inverted gapps 4.2.2.
I really do like the inverted...I'd hate to think I'd have to leave CM10 in order to use the inverted.

Not sure about cm ....haven't used it in awhile....but a lot of 4.2.2 roms have a "dark" switch in settings now days. Inverts most gapps apps.

If you use the AIO Aroma, it gives you the option of "Toggleable" or not for some apps. This is for 4.2.2, and I have used them on AOKP, Carbon, and CM, without fault. (4.2.2 that is...unless I read your request wrong)
With that said tho, you know the drill...Backup first, then play.
Does anybody know of any roms that has Gapps baked into it? You never know which gapps are going to work with which rom, and the authors dont keep everything sync'd up.
Any of the roms based on stock do. But anything CM or AOSP based won't. I use Slim Mini gapps.
