This tutorial were made especially for TWRP recovery. If you use different one (like CWM), options might be called a bit different and be in different places.

If you want to install Google Apps (Play Store, Gmail etc.):

  1. Get Google apps for your ROM from our download page and copy it to main directory of your internal storage.
  2. Shutdown your phone.
  3. Use VOL+ & HOME & POWER buttons combo to boot into recovery.
  4. Go to Mount and tick field next to /system. Go back to main menu.
  5. When recovery will boot, go to Install, select downloaded package with Google Apps and then use slider on the bottom to let process begin.
  6. When installation will finish, use Reboot to system option to boot your phone.

    Would anybody please be so kind to point me to some upgrade procedure to 4.4.4 without having

  • Jo says:

    I notice two diffences between this tutorial and the tutorial you link to at the downloadpage.
    (1) Is step 4 necessary? What does this mean? Any loss of data?
    (2) I thought after installing Gapps it’s always necessary to wipe dalvik & cache. Am I wrong?

  • Dr Boggis says:

    I have installed 4.3.1 on my S3 mini, and it is working fine, but I didn’t include the google apps at the time and now I can’t get the Play store to open. I have tried installing the latest apk (5.1.11) and an older one (5.0.38), but when I open it, the app opens and then instantly closes – no error messages.

    The downloads page on novafusion opens a thread on xda and I can’t find the gapps relevant to the rom I installed (CM10.2, 20141021). Any suggestions?

  • After installing the gapps. Can I remove these files and folders?

  • Skylife says:

    Hey, i have alot of problems. After i install this rom, everything started going wrong, ive been using cyanogen mod for awhile and decided to give this a try.

  • Julio Fuentes says:

    So I successfully installed the Cyanogen mod 12.1 on my S3 Mini, but when I downloaded the corresponding google rom I get incorrect version error messages. I tried 5.1, 5, and 4.4, all with the same effect. Can someone tell me which is the correct google apps rom for the 12.1 mod? Thanks!

  • Julio Fuentes says:

    I successfully installed the latest 12.1 Cyanogen mod, but when I try to install the apps it gives me the wrong version error. I’ve tried ARM 5.1, 5, and 4.4, but none of them work. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!
