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?

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
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.
guys i am a noob in android phones. i just want to clarify some things before proceeding of having a custom rom. my current gn2 version is android 4.1.1 and i want to install a custom rom (omega 8.0 preferably). what i want to clarify is that, should i update my version to 4.1.2 first before installing the custom rom or i can directly install it right away without updating my phone's version. thanks!
no, custom rods build upon themselves. they are their own update

Can I / Should I use CyanogenMod updates (found in System Settings, About Phone) to update from CM10.0.0 to CM10.1?
I got a notification saying "updates ready"
I am currently running CM10.0.0. The update is CM 10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL

No, you need to manually update to Cm 10.1. This is because you need to do a full wipe when upgrading (System/Data/Cache/Dalvik). You will also need the newest version of GApps (12/12/12). Also consider what happens to your InternalSD when upgrading to a 4.2 ROM in regards to the /0 mutiuser partitions.

If you wanna make the jump, be sure to backup first. A full wipe will be needed.
You're currently on 4.1.2 so it's quite a big jump to 4.2.1 (a lot of new features, different UI, etc.) - Anyway, after a full backup, you should be good to update if that's what you want to do.
PS.: 4.2.1 has a borked BT audio streaming. If you use it a lot, there's a flashable zip called 'revert my alsa' in the CM10.1 thread to fix it.
Been running this setup without any problems on prior versions of PA up to pie 4.0. Since trying to run pie 6.0 with same gapps everything works except contacts force closes. Anyone running this setup. If so are you running into the same problem. is there a work around or another set of inverted gapps worth trying.
