CM10 is great, I would also suggest Paranoid Android.

So, i downloaded a rom called liquidsmooth. but the home button doesnt work and the play store isnt there. also when i go into recovery it says “couldnt open directory. no files found.” what do i do now?
Re: A noob trying to grow
If there are none of the default Google Apps installed, you need to flash them yourself.
Go download them from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. Get the latest JB one. Put that on your phone. Then reboot into CWM and flash the file you got.
As for the problems with the rom, you can try reflashing the rom, or you can take it up with the developer in the forum thread [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].
You might want to get a newer rom, just to make sure it's supported.
