Question: Samsung Galaxy S i9000

Hi All,
Sorry if this is not posted in the right section, i am unable to post in the correct section due to me being a new registered member, so i thought i'd ask here and maybe some of you can help and share some of you're knowledge.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, I followed a guide posted on the XDA developers website (here is the link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546
I ignored the INSTALLING JW4 section as i was already updated to GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 XXJW4.
I then followed the Installing Root section with success.
I then installed Cyanogenmod 9.0 on the install custom ROM section, but further down the section i was also told to install gapps....Could someone tell me what gapps is ? and what gapps does ?
Everything else went well and i am now running Cyanogenmod 9.0 on my Galaxy S.
I was wondering, i hear alot about jelly bean, ice cream, cyanogenmod, what are the differences ? or are these the same thing ?
now i have cyanogenmod installed on my phone, and i want to update to say Jelly Bean 4.2 how do i go about doing this ? do i need to follow the guide and root again or ?
also can someone explain flashing to me ?
Thanks in advance.

First of all...what is GAPPS?
Gapps is short for google apps...its has gmail, maps, play store, maybe youtube or an update to the camera app (not sure) but you get the idea...you don't have to install gapps but it's recommended...here is a link to gapps: GAPPS. Third link is what you should download...the one that says CyanogenMod 9.x.x
Second, Ice cream sandwich(ICS), Jelly Bean(JB):
These are android OS versions, you are now using cyanogenMod 9....this is using Android ICS(ice cream sandwich) this is android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.
Here is a full list of Android OS versions.
Now you get the idea...
Third...what is CyanogenMod?
Simply put, CyanogenMod is a group of people who take the stock android OS and make some customizations, editing, tweaking, and theming...like others...but CyanogenMod(CM) are so great, that most other ROMs depend on CM (You'll see in the ROM page something like "Based on CM" or "Based on cyanogenMod 9").
Extra:
What is ClockWorkMod recovery? (CWM):
CWM is the most popular custom recovery that gives you more options than that of the stock recovery...most of the time, when you root your phone you flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP(Team Win Recovery Project) which give you the ability to flash custom ROMs and other flashable ZIP files...
This is a great guide and will help you greatly...
Have a nice day

Follow this tutorial here before installing cm
You have to install twrp recovery from maclaw
And we don't need to update anything for installing a rom and say hi for rooting
I just give you a hint of what you need, there are lots of guides on this forum just search for them and read carefully
First of all you must know that installing custom ROMs is potentially dangerous, it may brick your phone and it voids your warranty, you do it at your own risk.
Make sure your phone is supported by the software you're going to install, S3 mini aren't all equal, check for model number.
Before installing CM 11 you should install a custom recovery (TWRP from maclaw.pl is recommended for installing kitkat), than you can do a nandroid backup and restore it if something goes wrong, and install custom ROMs very easily.
To flash the custom recovery you need odin in windows (you can find it on maclaw.pl download page) or heimdall in linux. About odin there are lots of tutorials, just search for them, but if you need help with heimdall just ask for it
Maclaw has great instructions too on their download page - be sure to download their ODIN version to flash with Odin.
If you google "how to flash custom rom with odin" you can get detailed instructions with pictures, I found this made me a bit more confident with what the hell I was doing
CM11 was great but I found Carbon with CPU management options gave me better battery life :good:

You have to update via TWRP, because CM11 doesn´t official for us.

Yes CM11 is unofficial, however you can install any maclaw ROM using the most recent CWM firmware.

Need quick advice on ROM choice

Hello!
Sprint Note 5 stock original 5.1.1. I need to put custom recovery and root. I know how to do that. I have been away from the scene for a while. Not since CM.
Should I update the OS OTA then root and ROM? Or can I just go from my current 5.1.1?
I need a stable ROM that has wifi tether, and no bloatware.
Can anyone suggest a ROM and a Kernel to Odin for my root?
I have been reading and watching a lot of YouTube but all the rom choice's have my head spinning.
Thanks!!
Max
Search forum Dr ketan note rom and ask there

[Wrong place for this Thread]
- You can go from Android 5.1.1 to 7.0 without any upgrades done befor but BL and CP have to be upgraded.
Flash Recovery and than ROM Kernel etc. ( Look at Tutorials if you dont know how to )
