Root How to root and install Google Play.

I recently bought a Find 7a, and of course like most Androids coming from China, it doesn't have anything Google on it. So here is the YouTube video I followed, on how to root and install Google on this phone.

Here are the URLs to the required files.

Note: CWM recovery did not work for me, was showing "failed", however TWRP did. Original YT video here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GwHf7Ee5dc

My Oppo 7A arrived on May 1st and it has all the Google Apps. I just want to know how long I have to wait for CM11! I am ready to ditch Color OS

Very soon I think. CM is already on the OnePlus One, which is actually made by Oppo, and they're both extremely similar.

I just hope that there is no conflict of interest being that Pete left Oppo and Cyanogen is now building ROMs for his new company. Fingers crossed!!!

There's already CM for the Find 5 and the N1, which are officially endorsed and supported by Oppo. As for conflict of interest, I'm not entirely sure that OnePlus are a truly separate operation, if Oppo is a major shareholder, OnePlus is really just a subsidiary, etc. Another thing, the OnePlus Ones in China come with ColorOS, CM is optional.

Good to know! Thanks!!

Another day, another ROM.

Mokee this time, which comes from China apparently.
