i think the easiest way is to flash zip file of gapps downloaded from the following site.

and when u install any apk files, u should disable all "overlay-type" apps, for example battery mix, screen filter and so on.

[ZIP] [N7,N4] Flashable Zips for Flashaholics

Since I am a registered Flashaholic, I find it very tedious to constantly copy my custom ringtones, notifications and alarms back into my System directory, set the appropriate permissions and reboot after each new ROM. I could leave them on my virtual SD card, but I think they play nicer with all apps when copied into the System Directory.
I have linked the Zip files I created. They were specifically created for the Nexus 4 (N4) (has ringtones) and Nexus 7 (N7) (no ringtones), but if your phone or tablet has the following directory structure: System/Media/Audio/XXX (<--- Where XXX is either alarms, notifications or ringtones), Then these might work for you too.
Additionally I have added new Zips for the N7 & N4 to allow for system files to be flashed. Already in the ZIP are ADOBE FLASH (Installed as a user app) and the Stock ICS browser (Not Chrome), which can play flash files in Jelly Bean. Remove them if you don't want them.
These zip files have some sample stuff already in them.... ... ... OK... They're my ringtones/notifications/alarms. I made them or kanged some of them... ... (Don't Judge! ).
To use your own sounds (.ogg is recommended but .mp3 will work too) just
Download the desired file(s) to your computer.
Modify the zip files for your sounds.
-To modify:
------Open the .zip with an archive program (7zip, WinRAR etc) and dig down the archive to:
system/media/audio/
------Open the folder for the type of sound you want to add and copy in your sounds and/or remove existing sounds.
------Save the zip file. Often this is automagically done by the archiver
Ensure you have the latest TWRP or CWM Recovery installed.
Copy .zip to your SD card
Flash zip file in Recovery
I usually keep the sound zip, Franco's latest kernel zip and Misledz's Nexus Louder in a separate folder on my SD card, when I flash a new ROM I line up gapps and these in Goo Manager and I'm nearly all set up! Best of all, off I dirty flash my next AOKP nightly all my sounds stay the way I set them, ringtones, notifications and alarms!
Download Links are Below.
NOTE: THESE HAVE ONLY BEEN TESTED ON THE NEXUS 4 AND NEXUS 7. FOR OTHER DEVICES, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Have Fun! And Hit Thanks if this Helped you!

I though this was a great idea so I tried it and I get a red failed in TWRP 2.3.3.3. I tried two copies of it, one I modified and then the original and they both failed to install. Please let me know what I am doing wrong or if you get this to work, please let me know.
Thanks

Yeah, I needed a new update-binary for the N4. I found one on the TWRP site. I put it in both zips so they should be good to go for a while.

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

I tried installing the apk. Im getting the same error. If i get a backup file, like mentioned above, and install it threw titanium, will it work? thanks.

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.
