Hi there
A beginner question.. I guess there will be kitkat versions of pacman sooner or later and I wondered how the best way to upgrade would work.
There are already packages for the new apps, I assume this is the same as the "gapps" package I installed when installing pacman.
- is it possible to install the new gapps now already?
- how to upgrade pacman once it's there and does this reset my settings or is there a better process?
Thanks a lot, I'm a bit confused

You can't install the new gapps yet because we don't have 4.4 update yet. As for updating pacrom, you can read op in the pacrom thread.

Hello,
I am using Cynogenmod 10 and I recently downloaded the newest Gapps to update my existing ones. My question is:
Can I just flash the newest Gapps? If not, what would the process be?
Thank you very much!

I believe you just have to delete cache and wipe dalvik and install the new gapps.
Make sure Gapps is for JB 4.1.2 and not 4.2.1. CM10 is still on 4.1.2. unless you are running the unofficial 10.1 rom.
Edit** 10.1 Nightlies are now rolling out. So flash 4.2 Gapps if you are planning on running it
Hello, I've worked with custom roms and such before, but only stable things. I installed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds, and I've been updating them every day, through TWRP by just flashing the rom, and gapps. A snapshot was just released, and I was wondering if I just do it the same method, or do I have to do the wipe system and all that when you first install a brand new rom. I'm pretty sure I do it the same way, but I just want to make sure there isn't have to be anything else. Better safe than sorry.
Oh my why are you going through all that trouble CyanogenMod has a built in updater all you do is go to about and then CyanogenMod update I believe it will ask you the frequency to check for updates. Make sure you change the options to nightly builds. The phone will notify you when there's an update, after downloading the phone will update itself and all your apps will still be there so you won't need to flash G apps each time.

The process to do this is called a "dirty flash" because you are flashing over what you already have without wiping again. Usually if its an updated version of the same rom you dont need to rewipe everything
However, if you come upon this in some other rom (you're updating to a new version of it), make sure that the OP's instructions dont mention a full flash, because the nature of some big updates WILL require you to do a full wipe and then flash
But for this specific case, just do what the guy above me said

It is a more stable build designation. Still not an official release. Think of it as a monthly nightly!
Thank you!

Hi!!
I just wanted to ask if I have to be first root on my note II in order to install CyanogenMod, that's right?
can I install CyanogenMod rom on my note II without being root?
Cheers.
J.
Yes you need root and a custom recovery

Check out www.galaxynote2root.com for all the info you need on rooting, flashing and recovery programs I have heard this rom can be a little unstable but have not yet tried it. I use WanamLite rom and love it, very close to stock with more benefits and very stable

Read the CM10.1 nightly thread, it has instructions.
Hi,
Just wanted to ask if cyanogenmod is stable enough for my Note II. I am looking for a stable rom... the closest one to the stock because I would not like to get a stone as phone...
Is WanamLite working properly?
Regards and thanks!
I tested both roms for same time, both very stable. However my opnion is that if you want a rom very similar to stock what is the fun? Nothing new to play around.
I'm using now Moon v8, a lot of features, good battery and no issue so far.

Well, sure - I'll have fun installing a rom and all that stuff but I had an iphone and I got tired saving everything before jailbreaking and then install everything.. when a new version was released the cycle again... so I'd like to have a phone with cyanogenmod o whatever mod rom but I don't want to change rom every time... at least I don't want to save my pictures and do a list of apps to download after installing a new rom because last one was unstable.... you know what I mean? I hate Samsung stock.. but works fine.. I think...
Thanks.

Search, Read. Seriously there are guides ALL OVER THE PLACE.
An the answers are there, you aren't new..
Hi,
I'm really new to this whole Android phone thing. I understand almost nothing, including different abbreviations (like cm, what does that stand for?)
So I apologize if I'm asking something that's already written in some newbie guide, I'd love it if someone could refer me to such a guide.
I have some newbie questions:
I've bought a new S4 mini, and I want to install Cyanogen, but I could only find Nightly or RC versions of it, is there a stable version somewhere?
Do I need to install CWM? Or is there another way to root my device without having to install CWM? I want to install as less applications as possible. Unless you guys tell me that installing CWM is a good idea.
You need CWM (aka CWMR for ClockWork Mod Recovery) to flash CM (CyanogenMod, sometimes Cyanogen for short), which currently only has nightlies and RCs for the S4 Mini LTE model only.
The model number for the LTE variant is GT-I9195.
There is also a test release for the international 3G variant (GT-I9190).
There is none for the Dual-sim variant, GT-I9192.
Thanks a lot! Is the RC version of cm "safe"? I don't want to start dealing with dev issues, I just want a comfortable phone to use.
Maybe it's better to install the debloat rom instead of an unstable cm version?
The debloated rom has its fair share of issues. It's a matter of personal preference actually.
I prefer having CM and it's working fine for me on the latest nightly. No pressing issues.

So if I just want to remove unneeded apps (which are consuming CPU / RAM) then maybe the best option for me is to just root my device and remove any app I don't want?
Oh and another question: in a different thread someone recommended wiping /data and /cache, how do I do this? By using ClockworkMod?
Yes and yes.
Removing unneeded apps is also known as debloating. Those unneeded apps are known as bloat ware.
There are explicit options within CWM to wipe data and cache.
I'm newbie in Samsung too, also want to ask which one CWM for stock kernel/Rom? I'm using S4 Mini LTE (GT-I9195). Thanks in Advanced.

That is truly odd. I have no issues with downloading Candy Crush Saga on my phone here in Singapore.
Perhaps its a region lock?
Mayb that could be it...thanks
