Motorola Spice XT300

Bought a Motorola Spice XT300 in Beijing from China Unicom.
No Google Market or any google services like Gmail installed, can't sync google contacts either. There is no app to download apps at all.

Already has Superuser v3.0.4 (41). Su Binary v3.0.3.
Optimistically I tried rooting it with Titanium Backup 5.5.2.1 Free version.
Even went the extra mile by having z4root version 1.3.0 installed but I haven't rooted it again.

Tried installing Whatsapp and it works. Great!

Tried installing google apps. There was a parsing problem.

Downloaded Droidvpn and installed great.... waitaminute... tun.ko not loaded.
Tried downloading Tun.ko and i managed to install the app. Ran the app and tried installing but it kept giving me error code 2. tried copying 3 different *.ko files and was still unsuccessful.

I can't download anything from the market coz I can't install. I can't use the VPN to download through the default browser installed in the phone coz I can't load the tun.ko. Can't even install a barcode scanner app to scan QR download codes either.

I'm getting a little frustrated and really on the verge of throwing the phone at the wall.
