How do I combine an existing from that you would normally have to flash Gapps separately so the from and Gapps in the same flash? Sorry about wording there... got a little side tracked. I love selfkang but I want to flash Gapps at the same time.
Technically you're not legally allowed to include gapps in custom ROMs. Which is why you have to flash them separate in Cyanogen and AOKP.

What do you mean legally? I guess I won't then ecause I don't what to mess with an install script. How is like black widow or axiom able to include them? If I were to flash a new nightly of a from off an older version of the same rom, would I have to reflash Gapps?Technically you're not legally allowed to include gapps in custom ROMs. Which is why you have to flash them separate in Cyanogen and AOKP.

I think the only reason they can still do it is because they haven't received C&D's from Google.

This is where I would tell you which ROM I'm running, but I probably just flashed something else.

It's technically illegal due to copyright issues with Google apps. Some people still include them because they choose to. If you're flashing different builds of the same ROM over and over (i.e. CM9-1 to CM9-2), you only need to wipe cache and dalvik, flash ROM, reboot. No need to reflash the gapps. If you're going from one custom ROM to another (i.e. CM9 to AOKP) then yes you need to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM, THEN flash gapps.
