Thanks for the help guys. I still cant get it to work. I have flashed probably 150 roms in the almost 2 years ive owned this phone. V roms, S roms, ive NEVER had this much trouble getting it to work. so....heres the details if anyone can offer advice
CLEAN FLASH
using COT Recovery 2.0.2
Wipe /boot, /system, /cache, /data, /dalvik cache, /sd-ext (i have a 512mb ext/0 swap)
Flash 11-3-12 BobZ CM10
Reboot
ROM runs well - no issues sans the GApps
Reboot into recovery - Flash Bobz custom Gapps OR the one badboytoast just posted
wipe dalvik and cache
reboot.
it installs the frameworks and other apk's in /system but i have no play store, therefore i cant download anything.
SO FRUSTRATED.
any ideas? please?
Is the /system partition smaller on the S then the V maybe? IDK if the rom takes up too much space in /system and theres no room for the Gapps to flash? IDK....
