Hi all, I have just taken delivery of a coolpad 8721, very nice device but it does not run google services therefore I cannot install the apps I want or customize it to my taste, and I cannot even download my back up and contacts from google back up, I ran into a thread that suggested I can install gapps, but I need tutorials on how to go about that please, I will appreciate your help.



Thanks

You'll need to first flash a custom recovery then gapps.zip in the recovery
Do you have custom recovery installed on your device?

Yes my device is rooted and I do not have the custom recovery installed, please do let me know how to install and the steps to follow afterwards because I cannot even sign into my yahoo mail app from the device.

Also, provide the stock recovery
