[Q] What gapps fit this ROM?

Hi.
I'm about to root my Galaxy S I9100 with one of these roms, but I'm not sure about what gapps I have to get for it? I mean is it gapps for android 4.2.2 or 4.3?
http: // www . get . cm/?device=i9100&type=RC (remove spaces, as I'm not allowed to submit url's)
I prefer release candidate builds, as I want my phone to be stable.
One extra question. When installing the custom rom, will I be able to select my own language? (Danish)
Thank you for taking time to answer my questions.
If you're installing 10.1.RC3, then that's android 4.2.2. From that you should be able to tell yourself which gapps you need
On the install screen after the rom has been flashed, yes there is a list of languages available. I can't guarantee 100% about Danish as I don't speak it... The list of languages is long so I imagine it's an option

Hello Hopper.
Thank you for a fast reply. I hope the language is available, or I will have to disable spell checking in sms / email.
BTW: Are gapps mandatory, or can I just go to market and select what I need?
Have a nice day.

No problem mate I would be very surprised if it's not available. They're technically not mandatory, however you won't have a play store if you don't flash gapps. The other thing is that flashing ROM only won't give you an installer setup wizard. Flashing gapps will give you the wizard and allow you to pick a language. Much better off to flash them :good:
As a side note, thank you for the courteous way you have been posting. Very nice to read, and a pleasure to help. Keep it up That's the reason I have hit the thanks button for you. Don't do it for me now (i.e. I'm not asking for your thanks), but you may like to use that button when someone helps you

OK, better install gapps then, seems too much trouble if not doing so.
I guess the language is there, it is in the stock rom, so I guess they didn't use time removing it.
Thx again.

Ya sometimes it may happen. Either download the gapps suggested by the developer or check the version of android rom and the download the respective gapp. It will solve the issue. Or just post the reply. I will guide u.

An easy way to get it back is to find a Google Apps package that has the AOSP messaging app and then extract the apk from the .zip file and manually install it or to install SMS Messaging from the Play Store which is the AOSP messaging app.

[Q] Youtube issue under Cyanogenmod 11

I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 on my Mega 6.3. The attached pic shows YouTube while playing a video. Can anyone please suggest what is happening here, and a fix? Other videos in other apps play just fine.
Possibly also relevant; a couple of apps that need to play mp3 or wav files, at the point of having to do so crash, bringing up an error message. I can live with that problem, but I would like to get on top of the Youtube one.
Any thoughts, anyone? Cheers.

If you use an older version of Youtube, does it do the same thing?

Forgive me, I'm new to ROMs and flashing, I thought YouTube was baked in, I didn't realise it could be uninstalled and reinstalled! I've done just that, but of course the Play Store has only the latest version. Can you point me in the direction of an earlier version apk?

Here ya go just unzip and drop the apk to your phone and install.
I grabbed it from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44626173#post44626173) but should work for ya.

Many thanks indeed. I'm grateful. But sadly the same problem occurs, I'm afraid. Interestingly, this afternoon I downloaded and tried a couple of YouTube alternative apps. I didn't like either because they wouldn't play full screen, however they did play video perfectly...?

Update:
I've settled on "Video Tube", which does play in full-screen and which, to be honest, I think I prefer to Youtube, so I'm happy to stick with that. But the Youtube issue is baffling, and I'd now be very interested if anyone can suggest why certain apps, at the point where they have to play wav or mp3 files, crash ...?
There is no YouTube issue on cm afaik, at least not in the latest build....

Thanks. As a newbie, I'm presuming "cm afaik" is another ROM? It took me two full days to settle into Cyanogenmod and set up all my preferences, tweeks, etc. I'm not ready to face all that again just yet!
No. Afaik as in as far as I know....
If you are already running cm ROM, you just need to wipe dalvik/cache to update. You will not lose your data or settings...

Many thanks. I'll look for a tutorial on how to do that.
Process is very simple. Download ROM. Download gapps of your preference though I suggest banks core. Reboot to recovery. Wipe dalvik/cache only. Flash rom followed by gapps. Reboot.

Thanks again, but I have to remind you that although I'm computer literate I'm completely new to flashing phones. I have no idea what "gapps" are, so how will I know which I prefer?! And "Banks core" is Greek to me, I'm afraid!
And surely if I "Flash ROM followed by gapps", that entails then re-loading all my apps and data again, which I really don't want to have to do?
I'll leave it for now, but I'm grateful for your help nevertheless. Cheers.
That's ok, but trust me when I say that you will not lose any data.
Gapps is Google Apps. Banks core is a gapps pack made by an xda user BaNkS. You will find it here. I like to flash just the core package which contains only Google playstore & Google play services. All other google apps i need, I download from play store.
This is just for your info...

Thanks again. I'm certainly interested to learn all of this. I just don't want to learn by messing up all my settings, or worse still bricking my phone, in the process, that's all!
So what exactly IS the dalvik/cache? Are you saying that I could boot into recovery, wipe the dalvik/cache and then come out again, and my setup, data, settings, etc would all still be fine? In which case, would it be a good idea for me to do that? What does wiping the dalvik/cache achieve?

Wow, this rom is really awesome and light so far it has proven to be a little better than slim Pickens only in the fact that it seems a bit more stable(slim pickens seems to degrade over time and act buggy/glitch) even After a full Factory reset. and I'm definitely enjoying the higher resolution or whatever has been done with the gfx. Not sure if your the creator, but either way thanks for sharing this with the community I don't see why this resolution option was not available in the stock rom.
Thank you, Yes im the creator. Let me know of any problems, Thank you again
Man get this ROM working right

Problems with excess apps

I have a problem with excess apps like Google Films/Google music etc. i dont use them and need.
I would like to install pico Gapps and cant. i did brick my phone 2 times today. Would like somone to help me.
You cannot flash Google app packs on Touchwiz ROM (but I'm not 100% sure ) If you want to remove these apps install ES File Explorer or something similar, give it root privileges, find tab with system apps and uninstall ones you don't want.

If it is compatible with your device, I recommend EpsilROM. It does not come with those kind of GApps and is stock based
