Hi there,
I have recently purchased a Coolpad 8017 in China. It contains a MT6582M processor and is running Android 4.4.2. Can anyone suggest a suitable ROM for this device?
Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi there,
Thanks for the welcome. My main aim is to enable Google Play Store and perhaps some other Google apps. I have (apparently) rooted the phone using Kingo Root and Super SU is functional. I attempted to install Google Play and the associated framework using the guide on theandriodpit.com (I'm not a member there, I found it through a Google search):
Here is the guide:
Download a couple of APKs, you can usually find the newest bundle in a zip package on XDA Developers:
•Google Play Store (the newest version you can find)
•Google Services Framework
•Google Login Service/Account Manager
If you are rooted you can copy them to your root directory to System/App using a root manager like ES File Explorer. Then just restart your device.
When I try to access Google Play and it asks me to enter my account information, this message appears: ''Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped''. Then after inputting my email and password, it hangs on the 'Signing in....''This can take a few minutes.....'' screen.
Is my phone rooted properly? Have I missed any important steps? What else could be the problem?
I thought the flashing of an entirely new ROM would be a valid option due to the failure of the above method. Surely their are many ROMs available for phones built around the MT6582M processor? I mean, 'Coolpad 8017' is purely branding, isn't it? I also would like to flash for educational purposes.
Thanks,
Andrew.
