New to this - advice needed



I have entered the world of modding and found my way to this forum because of Pokemon Go.

I wanted to give the game a try to see what all the fuss is about but can't run it on my phone - it's a blackberry provided by my employer.

So I dug out an old S3 I9300 from the drawer of old phones, but soon found that the version of Android (4.3 Jelly Bean) is too old. I am very IT literate and technically capable so I started researching what to do. I have now rooted my phone and have the following ROM and GAPPS files ready to go - CM11 (Kit Kat), CM12 (Lollipop) and CM13 (Marshmallow).

I don't need any technical help, just advice on which ROM to go for. Should I just go for the latest (CM13) or is that unstable and too much for my phone. Or should I go with CM11 because that is the latest 'official' CyangenMod release. Or should I go with CM12 as a comprise between newness and sufficient releases to address any problems.

My main aim at the moment is to play Pokemon but now that I have discovered modding I suspect that I will be experimenting more.

Cheers,

Nigel
