[General Questions and Answers] RGD-Soft:
Before anyone ever uses a new device thee shall make a Rom Backup; just in case... (at least i would do this).

Anyway; i don't understand why you've put the *.apk file inside the \System\apps folder...

You should try (have tried) to install Android SDK (If you've not installed already); and install the *.apk through adb.

Check these:

I don't believe that the operating system blocks "Google Apps / Play Store". Either way i'm not going to say that it is impossible. But it doesn't make much sense.

But like "rockingondrums" said; If your device doesn't have have "gapps"; it's probably because it's not approved by Google to access the play store.

No access to Play Store = No "gapps"...

(Never seen that happening though)

Also you didn't need to root your device for that. "Play Store" doesn't require Root Permissions...

In order to help you (and help yourself up); I've done research for you (just because i understand your situation).

1st of all you shouldn't insult XDA Forum. This Forum has loads of information scattered around. Just dig like everyone else... There's probably the info you need. Yes it may take hours, day or months if you have no idea of what you're messing with. If the info is there, just don't expect people to do the research for you...

But, XDA is far from being "worthless". I've lost the count of how many times it helped me; and what i've learned is priceless. (And i still don't know everything i want to know ^^)

2nd; [Get your Device Working]

If you haven't messed up much... (Like flashing a wrong Rom)

Use "Recovery Mode" to "Factory Reset" your device.

I'm not sure if the method i'm about to show, works for every device or for your device; but it's a good example.

On my device i would do:

- Turn off the device;

- Press and hold in the following order: Camera Button; Then Volume - and then Power Button; let it vibrate 3 times; and then release the buttons.

In other words; this will "Reinstall / Reset" your system. You'll see in your screen if it works. Just dont turn off your device in any way while it's executing that operation.

Note: It may be different on your device. If it is... You have to search for a different method that will work for you.

Search this forum, Google, or Ginwave Website (if it has one...)

After this; i recommend you to do some search and learn on how to backup & restore your device.

Search XDA Forum. Grab some examples, compare the info you've got; then backup that device.

3rd; If you've flashed a wrong Rom; then you really have to compile your own, as i also couldn't find a Stock or Custom Rom for your device.

Note: If you (ever) find a Rom for your device; remember that it has to be A ROM FOR YOUR DEVICE! AND NOT SOME OTHER. Otherwise you'll probably end with a dead device...

And that would be sad and wasted money.

Here's a good example on how to flash a Rom and a good place to start with:

Do some more reasearch; and now don't ever say that XDA is worthless.

P.S - Experienced People aren't here every day and every hour just for you... Sometimes you've got to wait and pray for a god answer (lol - so true...).

I hope this helps solving your problem.

Best Regards;
