I tried one which I can't remember, random crashes so I ditched it. Tried CM10, and

Hello everybody.

I was using the first "official" JB leak (the Polish one, I don't remember which one it was). I've being used it for a while, with no problems.

Yesterday, I saw that Faryabb had posted a new version of the GAPPs.

I have a rooted, stock GS3. Waited a few hours for others to update to 4.1.2 and someone said they used Voodoo Rootkeeper to temp unroot, updated, and everything was fine. I did this also, and my phone updated and rebooted.

Support I need help!!!! 14 weeks 17 hours ago

While installing a new nightly on my phone "cm10.1" I had the wrong gapps package. So I downloaded a new one, but come to find out it was also the wrong one.
