I've been using ota since KitKat dropped and now I'm wanting to flash some Roms. What different gapps packages are available? There was always a wide array of choices but searching through the themes and apps section I could find nothing. Thanks in advance and merry Christmas!

My general rule of thumb is to flash Gapps from CM according to the ROM version. For example, flash CM11 Gapps for anything based on 4.4 and CM10.2 for anything based on 4.3.
If there is an app I don't want in the Gapps file, I unzip Gapps, delete the APK I don't want, rezip, and flash.

Banks Gapps and PA gapps work fine. PA will give you all of the Google apps, and Banks will give you the main ones and you chose to download the rest from the play store.

Read the opening post, all of it. You need to flash gapps. Hell even skimming it you'd realize that gapps needs to be flashed

If you have to ask this about a CM based rom then maybe you should think a little more about flashing custom roms. There is a learning curve. It is not for everyone.
I'm a noob to tables but have done many flashes to my phones. My main question is, I'm rooted and ready to flash a ROM to my Nexus 7 but I'm confused about a few things. I'm running firmware 4.3 so do I need to flash a ROM that's made for 4.3? I'm interested in the Carbon ROM but it doesn't state that it for 4.3.
I'm interested in a stable ROM that has a lot of customizing options. Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance for helping out a Noob!

ROM = Firmware
Flashing ROM = Flashing different Firmware
If you flash a 4.2.2 ROM over a 4.3 STOCK ROM, then you will have 4.2.2, and nothing about your device will be 4.3
just to verify, you have the old Nexus 7 right?
Yes, old Nexus 7. Thanx! Now I feel comfortable trying some Roms.

There could be partition issues when you have the wrong one.Like there was with the 4.2 update.If you flash a 4.2 rom onto a 4.1 bootloader your whole data will get moved into another /0 folder

The nested 0 folders was a recovery issue, not a bootloader one. Neither CWM nor TWRP could initially deal with the new multi-user directory structure. Koush and Team Win promptly updated their recoveries to resolve it.

I've been very happy with RasBeanJelly. It has a good cross between features, speed, and light-weight. It tends to be quite stable. I ran it for about 7 months, until I decided that l decided I needed more excitement in my life and jumped to a bleeding edge ROM. Depending on how the new ROM does/does-not develop, I may go back.
Before you go changing ROMs, make sure you are ready. Then make sure you are really ready. After a couple of times you may actually be ready. Look around, and you will find some guides. Here's a good place to start: Flashing Guide. The biggest issue I have had is making sure I have a good BACKUP and RESTORE strategy that works.
Good Luck,

Slimbean 4.3 beta 3 is pretty feature-rich and is a beta in name only...it's been rock solid for me. Get it at www.slimroms.net
Thanx for the ROM suggestions! I been running CyanogenMod Ver 10.2 Unofficial and I like it but now I'm ready to try some more Roms. I've got the hang of flashing stuff again so now I feel comfortable trying some new stuff.

Been running cyanogenmod 10.2 on my N4 for a couple of weeks now, and yesterday I tried to take a photosphere, and found the option wasn't there?
Any ideas how I can get it back? Maybe a different gapps?

Flash Photoshere from Banks Gapps addon or flash the one from Slimrom:
Banks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
Slimrom: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/383-addons/5571-photosphere-4-3-build-1
Attached is a flashable zip file that has all the stock Nexus 5 sounds. The ones in the AOSP are different. I flash it every time I flash a CM nightly. Thought I'd pass it along.
Cheers.
This needed a bump

I just installed paranoid android and it doesn't support themes is there anything I can install to use themes?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Wait til the end of today; from the looks of things, the new update shall bring themes
I got the update and it deleted my play store is that normal?

As it is recommend you should do a clean install of the newest pa version.
Wipe Date/Cache, flash the newest pa and the gapps.
Reboot.
Should fix the problem
The 4.4 beta1 supports themes. Holo is the default, but you can download tons of them by the Play Store.
