i think the easiest way is to flash zip file of gapps downloaded from the following site.
http://goo.im/gapps
and when u install any apk files, u should disable all "overlay-type" apps, for example battery mix, screen filter and so on.

does anyone no how to make an apk install? for example miui music someone gave me the apk and it installed fine but I downloaded the miui rom and extracted it and took out the miui music but it wont install and I cant use root explorer cuz im not rooted is there something special you have to do to the apk so it will install?

I believe that u have to re-sign the Apk .... if u search the forums or Google it u may find an answer.... also if u search u might find an updated miui music apk.
That is all
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
Indeed...The apk needs to be signed before it's installed. Download zipsigner 2 from the market. Put the .apk on your phone, sign it, and install it with your file manager.
I just get astro file manager and go to whatever folder it saved to

No problem.....I'll give it a shot.
One other thing......Did you uninstall your old Miui Music app before you installed this one, or did you install over the top of it? Sometimes it makes a difference.
I need the firewall and data monitor from MIUi.
Installing the apk or moving to system didnt worked.
File Manager got easily installed though.
Any way to install Antispam.apk (Firewall app) and Monitor.apk ?
Why don't you install any alternate app from play store.
Did you set correct permissions when moved to /system/app
??

I accidentally removed Youtube. I tried to install it again for google Play store and its crashing after opening. I installed it as apk, and it did the same thing. any help?
If you are on stock rom (i suppose you haven't deodexed it), go to /system/app using root explorer and see if you can find Youtube.odex. That file may be causing some problems. Delete it, and then install a downloaded youtube apk.
If you're on a custom rom, I recommend you to reflash your rom as i can't think of any other solution.
If you are on custom rom or stock rom download youtube from google play store...and if you want make it system app
Globally recognised and certified NOOB
Use root explorer move your downloaded apk to system / app and set permission as r-w-r-r--.
Before that clear data of your previously installed YouTube.

I installed a handwriting app from another thread via twrp recovery by choosing install from zip file , so the nexus sees it as a stock app, only giving me the option to disable instead of delete. How do I uninstall it, now that it's a system app? I've searched all over the web and can't figure it out. I tried using titanium backup to do it, but it just boots me into twrp and I see no setting in there that let's you delete an app that you flashed via zip... Thanks!

Restore the backup image you made before installing the app

If you know the name of the app and are rooted, you can go to /system/app and delete or rename the app. Disabling the app would work also. Why is that not ok?
I don't want to have things taking up unnecessary space. I'll try un installing by deleting that folder, since I didn't make a backup, I never imagined I would have to go so far as to restore just to uninstall an app, my mistake. I just can't believe that's the only way, I've restored before from backups and it's quite a lengthy process sometimes. At least when I used titanium backup.

If you are Rooted you can use Ron Toolbox from the store. It allows you to uninstall any app. Even System apps. I have been using it for some time and love it. It's great for getting rid of crapware installed by the OEM and Carriers that you don't want on your device. But it does require Root.
Thank you all, I am rooted. Deleting the apk in system /apps folder seemed to work, at least I no longer see it when I look in settings and downloaded apps. I will try rom toolbox though, thanks again for the quick responses!

If it is an HTC phone with S-ON (i.e. no S-OFF), then then any change to the /system partition will be reverted on next reboot, so, yes, you can uninstall a system app, for example using TitaniumBackup, but it will re-appear after reboot.
If you don't have a nandroid backup, then you could open the original ZIP file that you flashed, look what it does, and create an UNDO.zip and then flash it. If it overwrites some existing files, then you can pull them from the original ROM.
For example, if all you need to do is remove some files:
1. Take the zip attached in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058944.
2. Unpack the zip.
3. Edit updater_script in a text editor, and modify the paths to the files you want removed.
4. Repack the zip.
5. Flash via recovery.
The operation can be done completely on the device if you have a proper file manager with archive support. I used TotalCommander which can open ZIPs and edit files in them, and when you press the back button it will ask you to repack the modified file back into the ZIP.
More info on creating your own flashable ZIP files:

if you have the zip on your computer, extract/unzip the gapps file, then move the appropriate *.apk file to your phone install it

You will need a file manager with root permissions, move the apk to /system/app give it the proper permissions, should be read write and execute.
