There is too many way to flash custom recovery. For that you can use my signature (there is a link for CWM).
And if you need to know about custom recovery then read these Tutorial - 1, Tutorial - 2, Tutorial - 3 or use search option on XDA.

fine

Just flash the gapps via CWM (same as ROM flashing)
All instruction are available on that thread. If you have any question regarding CM11 on WFS then you need to read thoroughly that thread.

1.1 > 1.3 > 1.4
only 1.1 is big in size
EDIT I meant 1.0 > 1.1 > 1.3 > 1.4 > 1.5
Only 1.0 is big.

You do not have meta-inf and updater script right?
You will have to make your own updater script...depending upon in which partition your system, boot, etc are. Google these two and you will find proper guide threads.
Also, you can use (after editing) another rom's updater script. That rom should belong to your device.

Are you using Master Awesome's CWM recovery? The background colour of recovery should be Grey. The link is present in post 1.

Notification and music/radio
Hello,
I found a bug: when i listen music or fm radio and a notification arrive : the music stops playing, the screen is black and the power button is disabled.
LED notification flashes but nothing more.
The only solution is to remove the battery and cut the next time connexion data
Otherwise it is one of the most successful ROM I've tested, thank you !

I figure it out
Just take a look in this thread :

You need to flash this zip file :

from the thread above and this will fix the write permissions problem

I agree that the link in Post#2 could have used some additional explanation.
But I thought it was a bit strange that it seems like you spent time looking for another thread, when one with the solution was already provided?

Were you trying to say you flashed a GPE based ROM? Because that is not what "boot" means (boot.img just refers to the kernel, hboot is just the bootloader).
Based on your wording, I can see how the user in Post #2 thought you were on a Sense ROM (and supplied the wp mod for Sense). If you are trying to say you found/posted the right wp mod for GPE, than that makes more sense (no pun intended).
