Hello all - total noob here.
Firstly, thanks for all the work on this ROM, side.
I hope that someone can help.

I've resurrected my old s4 due to the S21 Ultra causing repetitive strain injury due to it's weight. I wanted a light phone to use around the house for all the casual stuff like Facebook, WhatsApp, Reddit, Quora. browsing etc. I was disappointed to find the phone no longer supported some of these apps and were not available in the store. So I eventually found my way here in the hope that an updated OS would allow me to use this phone.

I have a GT-i9505, and I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get ODIN working, to get TWRP (3.5.2_9-0) working and to get this ROM working ()- all within a day with no experience of this kind of stuff.
Now I have my s4 with Optimised-LineageOS-19.1-20220508-Version5.0.
The next step is apparently GAPPS, but now I am totally stuck. I've seen that in this thread that other people had this problem. I'm trying to install MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm-20220605_111643.zip, but get an "Error 1"

I've tried other versions too, like 20220403 and even BiTGApps-arm-12.0.0-R45_signed and MicroG-arm-12.zip but they all give the same error.
My questions are these.
1. How can I get this installed?
2. Will it then allow me to get WhatsApp/Facebook/Reddit/Quora/Chrome?
3. If not, while I naturally chose the latest and greatest, is there a recommended ROM that I should use instead?
Thanks for listening and your patience.
All the best, Mark
