The best way to know would be to read their thread (last few pages and OP) as well as trying it for yourself.
Not entirely sure if it's related to CM, but only on the latest stable (10.0) I've had issues with my WiFi not wanting to stay connected, even on a strong connection.
Everything else works great!

I just installed it yesterday. Problem with mine was that the ASOP keyboard not working. Luckily I just dled teh swiftkey.apk a day earlier. Play store wasn't working for me either and the browser just open and close. That's all i tried. I'm going back to CM9 til I know whats wrong and back up some data.
I installed the stable cm10 and the gapps. Hope others dont run in to the same problem as me
Did you restore your apps or app data? That would most likely cause this problem. Or flashing the wrong gapps.

No, once I got cm10 installed. I was trying to change some of the settings and found "keyboard(ASOP) stopped working" or some error message along the line of that when I try to enter wireless password. After installing swiftkey, I tried opening play store and it just have "server error"
So I haven't gotten to getting titanium backup yet to restore apps
I just took the latest gapps (the first link on the list), so I'm not sure if that's the right one. I'll try again during the weekend. I'll let you guys know if it goes well.
I'm on CM 10 latest stable build, 4.1.2. Came from GB kk4 plus corn 7 kernel. with latest gapps. I use touchpal keyboard.
I have TiBU pro, but rather than batch install apps, I went though google play to install apps, then selectively restored data on apps with TiBU as needed. While this took some time with this approach (96 apps), CM10 is flawless, virtually no probs at all. it actually seems more stable than before.
at times a little laggy but not a showstopper.

UPDATE: Just flashed to CM10 stable. I found out that the GAPPS I used last time was actually for CM10.1.0 while the CM10 that is out is only CM10.0.0
Be sure to get the right version of GAPPS. The latest one they have is for CM10.1.0

Looks like I'm the unlucky one den. I'm about to try again. I'm using cm's 3.0.8-g2311908 kernel.
Wish me luck.
you are correct, you want the 10.0.0 version from goo, which points to gapps 4.2, backward compatible to 4.1.
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
thats what I used. I guess the 4.2 set the 'latest' bit in my brain.

This is a n00b question...
Pandoriam is the first custom rom I've installed. I've recently got a Telstra 4G SGS3 after being an iPhone jailbreak user for years. Love Android, love the Samsung and very pleased with how relatively easy it was to root, back everything up with Titanium Backup Pro and install a custom rom.
However, there are a number of quirks I encountered when restoring my apps + data, and there are a bunch of things I had to do after each reinstall of the rom (I needed to change a few options so I ended up wiping and reinstalling a few times).
So I'm wondering whether when the next Pandoriam version comes out I'll have to do a full wipe of data? Hoping not
And on that point, how frequently do Pandoriam updates come out?
PS Posting partially because I don't yet have the privileges to post in the dev forums. I was going to reply in the latest Pandoriam thread about photo sphere on Telstra i9305 (with Perseus kernel and Pandoriam v5) - it works for me (although it's patched together a bit weird, but I think that's the limitations of photo sphere).
Hahah that was my post about sphere mode, what you just told me makes it even harder for the dev now though
It is NOT required for you to wipe all your data every reflash but is RECOMMENDED
You can easily backup data by doing a nandroid backup (an option in CWM ClockWork Recovery aka recovery mode once you've flashed it on) and you can select what applications and what data you want to restore from (via AppExtractor so make sure to install that during the setup of Pandoriam); that making the whole reflash a 10 minute or so job
Having such a great and interactive developer leaves him to update the ROM regularly but that still doesn't mean you have to get every version as I know I just waiting on 4.0 for v5

Cool, thanks. I asked because I got the impression that mainly you had to wipe when changing roms, but when upgrading you didn't need to.
Would prefer to play it safe though!
I've done a nandroid backup too but I thought that was more so you could recover back to your old configuration in toto. Good to know you can get back specific apps from that too - although to be honest, Titanium Backup's flashable update zip is pretty handy!
Also don't forget to backup your IMEI as a precaution

So regarding btemtd's latest post... if he does release a 5.1 version, which sounds like it would be a typical incremental release, would it probably be safe not to do a wipe, but just install on top? :cyclops:
This would be nice, obviously. To be honest, the only issue I'm coming across right now with the latest Pandoriam is Google+ not working, and I don't really use it.
For background: with quite a few other apps I had to uninstall and reinstall from the Play store before they would work.
With Google Talk, it wasn't logging my accounts in, and I found the solution somewhere else on the xda forums. Deleted the Google accounts, then went to Google Services Framework in all apps and hit "Clear data". Then recreated the accounts, and everything was hunky dory. It could work without deleting the accounts but I think not.
Perhaps I could've stopped all these problems if I'd properly cleared all the caches before flashing the rom - I did a wipe data/factory reset but I now realise there are other caches to clear in CWM!
Edit: Ah, just discovered a problem. The SMS threading issue is there with ChompSMS as well. I don't use the stock messages program, so I hadn't tested. This is definitely an issue for me. Damn.
OK, update: I am considering swapping to Ripper Rom just to see how it is, but now that I'm using Pandoriam I'm on a 4.1.2 build, so does that mean I need to flash the XXELKC versions because otherwise I'd be downgrading?
Maybe I should just be patient regarding the message threading issue instead, and wait for a Pandoriam update
If your apps do that then use fix permissions in clockwork recovery
It would completely rely on the changelog of the ROM, if you were to just flash over though, there were just small changes and you chose the same themes then it wouldn't leave so much crap on your phone but it's still recommended to do a wipe to avoid random issues that would require a wipe down the road

Thanks heaps for your replies, Magik_Breezy.
I've now discovered that I must have chosen (without any real reason) the AOSP messenger option in Aroma when installing Pandoriam.
So I'm going to re-flash with stock messenger. I'll try this without wiping (if that's not an idiotic idea) and see what happens! :good:
I didn't even wipe from stock initially but some apps can duplicate etc
Make sure to give back to the xda community in anyway you can

Trying I do hope other n00berly-n00bs find this conversation if they're looking for similar advice!
I just installed the same Pandoriam on top of the current installation, chose stock messaging and a few other minor alterations. No problems have occurred!
Going back to stock messages means that new messages are threading nicely. :good: However, the old ones which came in have remained on their lonesome. Minor point.
You should ONLY wipe if problems occur after flashing, otherwise you are just wasting your time.
Even if you encounter a "soft brick" or a bootloop, the recovery would still be accessible and you could factory reset to fix it anyways.. This stuff nowadays is relatively safe.
Thanks Skander1998, that's great to hear! I was taking all those warnings seriously, and I guess it's worth stating to cover those eventualities.
Anyway, having just re-flashed with no problems, I'll continue like that, and take your advice that if I get bootloops or problems I can always boot back into recovery.
Very happy with the latest state of my Pandoriam rom'd SGS3.
A heap of crap will accumulate on your device and apps will double
It's also always best to follow what the dev says as he is the one who truly knows everything that goes on behind the scenes
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium
Fair enough! I would imagine for small updates of the same rom it's fine not to wipe, but changing roms it'd be crazy.
I'll keep an eye out for apps doubling.
Boyfriend (more technically apt than I, however, currently unavailable) helped me root and install a new rom on this POS and am still having issues (running [ROM][JB][4.1.2]Slimbean 3.1.0 Unofficial Galaxy Exhibit 4G by camcory)
Issues I have are as follows:
- Constantly having to use a task manager to kill apps that constantly start and restart so nearly all my memory is being used and phone is laggy as all get out. (Consequently, anytime I try to open an app, it takes AGES before it starts..including my contacts or msging...any app in general)
- Randomly (and sadly, not consistently) when I plug in headphones, music player starts on its own. Have to kill multiple times as every time I kill it it starts again until I reboot phone out of frustration. Only solution at moment was to delete all mp3s I had on my phone and remove music player (which sucks, cause I would like to be able to listen to my music on my phone...).
- When I use Pandora, Google voice search starts on it's own. I have to kill it multiple times as it keeps restarting, before I have to reboot phone out of frustration and that tends to take care of the problem..again, temporary (and annoying) solution.
- Curious, when I bought phone, it was partitioned (or so it appeared) so there was USB storage, SD storage, and then external SD. Even after installing new ROM, a lot of files that were on the phones internal SD storage remained, wondering if there's a way to wipe that so there's not duplicate files laying around, or files that are no longer necessary as they were part of the original phone's system, or if these are files that should remain on the phone for some purpose.
Also, in general, not terribly pleased with the look of this ROM. I really enjoyed the look and some of the default apps that came on the phone (the msging and contacts especially) when I bought it. Any recommendations as to possible ROMs that would be similar to the stock, yet not as craptastic, would be much appreciated.
Any and all help is much appreciated!
ITry Linero either version with formula84 gapps and either PoweredbyEvil v1 or DemonsBlood v8 over clocked max 1612 smoothass gov SIO io and set oom and minfree to strict in ROM toolbox. Use pimp my ROM for additional tweaks such as entropy sdcard tweaks all and carefully read memory tweaks
This benches and runs smooth with zero lag for me.
No problems with music or headsets. I deleted Apollo with ROM toolbox and installed fusion.
Memory is 168 free on average without using task manager due to tweaks in pimp my ROM and ROM toolbox.
I don't use Pandora but have yet to have Google now open when opening other apps
If inserted sdcard then you have the proper storage. The partition is for boot and internal then sdcard is external
Note that I use swapsd included in linero so my internal is really now external as most all goes by default to internal when installed so with a 32gig card I don't worry
When flashing ROM wipe cache + dalvik cache + system + factory reset + internal storage and I also wipe android secure. Be sure files you want saved is on sdcard along with ROM + gapps to be flashed.

Finally having a moment to look over everything and give it a shot today. Fingers crossed I don't brick it
Do you have any recommendations for launchers/themes? I was really keen with the look of the stock theme that came on the phone. The hololauncher that came with slimbean and the default theme I was not terribly keen with.
Thanks again for your help. I will let you know how it all pans out!
I personally use jellybean extreme cm10 and love it. Have tried many but always go back. I use the blue one as it is near black and updates is often and very well supported. It is a paid theme but worth it imo

So I've done all as you said except for the pimp my rom just yet (battery started dying and I couldn't bother to be tethered to the charger while I worked ). As it is, it seems a bit faster, and I've yet to run into the bugs that I had previously (but that's always how it is in the honeymoon stage). Am trying to stay optimistic.
I am dying for the old messaging, contact list, and alarm clock that stock had, but cest la vie I spose. I'll have to nose around in the future and see what's out there.
Thanks for all your help
So I installed and all seemed to be going well and then I started getting crashes and lockups. So I reverted back to Slimbean that I was running previously. Now most of the apps I had before (even on Slimbean) will not work; "aren't compatible."
I can't for the life of me remember how we bipassed this last time I dropped that ROM on here. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do a factory reset 2 times , wipe ROM 2x and wipe internal SD 2x then flash the ROM again. I recommend causing team win recovery made for our galaxy exhibit. Since of what I read you want jelly bean but a stock feeling I recommend you using remics jbjob rom

You need to change your dpi to 240 and reboot. Then clear cache on Play Store and reboot again. It might take a few app cache wipe/ reboots before your apps come back.
Hi
First off, I flashed my GTP7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the new JB ROM after having had issues with getting applications to update/download from Play Store. I tried everything before flashing, from deleting and re-adding my back-up account, to flushing the app cache and downgrading the Play Store app to an earlier version. Nothing worked. Then when I flashed the new JB ROM, I accidently used the WiFi-only version. Everything worked fine then, including being able to update apps, I just didn't have 3G. So I went back to the drawing board and flashed the correct version. Then, for some or other reason, I was back to square one with Play Store not downloading/updating any apps. The progress bar just scrolls, and then eventually times out. My only question is, why would it work without any hassles with the Wifi-ONLY version, but not in both the official release of ICS and un-official JB? Could someone please help me with this, as I have absolutely no more answers left. Today I flashed it with the newest CM10.1 Nightly build....still no joy. Have tried fixing permisions as well, still nothing. I have also noticed when I try and download attachments from emails, it also just times out.

Wrong section mate! There is a great Q&A Thread!

1. You should read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768181
2. Backup your current rom using CWM (do it via recovery)
3. Use Titanium Backup to save your bookmarks, or the data files from which ever app (even you can save de apk)... if you use Titanium Backup then when you restore the data you might face troubles in different roms (4.2.2 / 4.3).
4. To backup all your contacts use contacts app to export all of them to your sd
Now you are ready to flash a fresh stock or another custom rom

Do you feel the wi-fi slow compared with others cyanogenmod roms or the stock rom?
I used the nightlys of january, february and march (all) and my phone have slow wi-fi
CM7 ROMs are not totally bug-free. There have been GPS issues with several ROMs in the past. Also I till the date have never been able to use the phone on CM7 as a modem for computer as the modem (phone) doesn't respond. Also minute but Wi-Fi issues that prevailed previously seem to be sorted out eventually but expect no optimization.
If you want speed & stability with all the working features, use the stock based ROMs.
