I have few questions about Gapps if any one can answer that would be grate.
1. What is the main difference between different gapps for different roms e.g CM has its own PA has its own etc.
2. I have read someare (cant trace back that thread now) that different gapps package install in different location e.g some install in system so more available memory for user in other partition and rest gapps install in user data partition.
3. if any one has any useful links regarding gapps then please share.
Thanks.

For all 3 questions:
The best thing you can do is to install exclusively Gapps recommended by the ROM developer, usually there is a download link in the opening posts of the development threads.

Hi Guys,
I've got a stock A500 and due to the conflicting reports as to whether Acer will provide an OTA update to Jellybean, I've decided to flash a custom ROM as there as some minor quirks that are starting to bug me.
Anyway, I've found the thread to explain what to do - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 - but it's left me with a couple of questions.
Selection of ROM
I can see at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136 there are links to various threads relating to custom ROMs such as CM10 Jellybean, AOKP Jellybean and CM10 Jellytime etc.
1) These have other topics scattered throughout so I was wondering if there's a page that summarises the various JB ROMs out there with a link to their topic page?
2) Without knowing each of the developers, how does one choose which ROM to use? Is there such a thing as a "vanilla/Plain-Jane" JB ROM?
3) Each of these topics have the first post outlining the ROM with a link to the zip file. Does the author update this link in the 1st post if there's update to the ROM or do you need to read through all the posts to see if the author has an updated link?
4) Once you've installed a custom ROM, how do you know if there's updates? Does the Update in Settings work or do you need to manually come back to the topic and see if the zip file is updated?
ROM/Kernel
At http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204 it says that you need
external SD card, root rights, unlocked bootloader (if you're on stock ICS), custom recovery and a custom ROM of your choice.

Yet further down it talks about Custom ROMs and Custom Kernels.
1) What are the differences?
2) What does a Kernel do?
3) Do I need this or just the ROM?
Thanks
PS - Not sure if this topic is better suited to be in http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136, but since it's a question, the rules say that it should go in the Q&A section.
Hi all,
sorry for asking these, but there are some things i dont understand, could anyone help
1. I would like to flash my old S5360 with kitkat 4.4
so here what i did
1. reflash the dev back to stock rom using Odin 3.07
2. root the device, wipe data, wipe cache, format sdcard
3. install the CM11 RC 12
but then when im trying to install gapps (pico ) it said : "not enough memory , you need 62MB freespace and i have only 31MB freespace )
so i format my sdcard using CWM 6 to ext 4 to use simple2ext_mod.apk by psyke83
then anyone could help what should i do next ??
thx
Like I have already explained to you - the correct gapps to use is clearly posted on the first post of the rom thread which I have already given you the link to
Please fully read this post as it clearly tells you what gapps to use and I'll even quote it below
NOTE 1: I recommend that everyone uses @Bhargav97's Google Apps package (cm11 v2.2 version or later). Other versions of gapps may cause issues or break delta updates.

The link to said gapps is also contained within that section of the rom thread
sorry for being harsh but I'm not one for spoon feeding especially when I have told you what to read & where to go & you haven't read all the instructions on the first post of the rom thread as I told you to
ah i see, thank you for your caring... please be patient, i miss the information

Guys we mark this rom based on CyanogenMod 12 team Fxp, I found nothing to respect in the forums so I wanted to show it, for those who want to install attaching the link from their site, now I do not have time to try it and I can not report how it works but who wants to can do it, even for those who have already tried it and want to point out how it works.

Sorry, wrong place. This thread can be removed.
What I've found is that typically each ROM dev will include a GAPPS package that they highly recommend for their ROM. I don't know if you can install any GAPPS package you want, but as long as it's for Android 6.0 I don't see why not.

Thanks in advance
First make sure your phone is rooted and you have latest twrp custom recovery
Also make sure you are on a marshmallow based ROM. RR 5.8.0 has Nougat. Then just google "How to flash a ROM".
Download gapps package from opengapps.org
Choose ARM -> 7.1 -> (whichever package you want)
