Install only playstore after flashing ROM CM11 - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I have successfully installed CM11 android 4.4 custom rom on my galaxy s3 mini gt i8190 . After flashing rom I found there is no playstore so I installed Gapps from the link with the rom but found all Google apps were installed. I want to install only minimum Gapps on my phone, Only playstore would be nice. Can anyone help me with the link .
Thanks in advance

There is a thread in xda where you can download micro or nano gapps. Right now I'm too tired to look for that thread. Use the search in xda.
There is no bad choises, only bad results.
SGS III Mini

KitKat 4.4.4.

Install pico gapps, it's the smallest

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

do i need install GAPPS
Do i need install GAPPS when flashing new version of C-Rom (C-Rom 4.3 v2) ?
What will happend if don't install GAPPS?
When your Android-Version change (4.1 to 4.2 ,4.2 to 4.3 and so on) you need to flash the gapps again ...
When you don`t do it, everything is possbile ,from bootloop to lagy device, with FC in the "old" gapps ...

I would suggest you to go for Kit Kat for all by @Salim El Yabouri. This is the only CM11 rom that can be installed from CWM5. All others require you to install CWM6 (which is not stable). Also you can only install CM11 roms with CWM6. Here is the link,
Kitkat For All
As of bugs and problems, all of the CM11 roms have them. They are still under development. Developers are working very hard to make it completely stable. If you want a completely stable version with no bugs, you might have to wait few months. Hope I Helped

[I9001] Wrong install gapps.

Hello
I have galaxy s plus with lollipop (problem are on every lollipop like cm12.1, resurrection remix etc.). I can install gapps, but they are't visible in drawer or just isn't installed. Installation of gapps are normal, like every zip. On other androids are everything good without this issue.
I will be very thankful for help, because lollipop is perfect rom for sgs+, and i don't want other.
