[Q] How can I get google play working on my fake Mi 4 topic

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Mi 4 with a antutu rating of 33k in a hurry only to find out that it was a fake Mi 4 :(
Now I am stuck with this phone as I do not have money to buy it and no one seems to want to buy this from me when I specify that it is not an original..

So I thought maybe you guys could help me make the most of my ****ty situation and help me get this phone running at a better level by rooting or some other method. I would say I am an average male phone user and would really appreciate your help in this matter.

Below are all the information I got from antutu on the phone.
I cant seem to post the link as I am new here so I am going to break it up maybe a kind admin will help me out here :)

Phone stats aside...
The phone feels sluggish not what I would expect an octa core phone to be like.
The rear cam feels like its around 5mp and not 13.
Front cam might be around 2mp but definitely not 5mp
Phone is not rooted.
Came with a chinese market (not mi market) and a browser named "Baidu Browser"

So far I have tried to install google play using the google play apk and also by using the google installer but each time it does not let me sign into google with my gmail account saying that there was a connection problem and the google play services crashes around the same time... sigh. somehow google play seems to work when going through a browser. but it is very slow and a bit of a process.

I dont really know what else I could post that is useful but please let me know and I will share it ASAP.

I hope you guys can help me or I would have completely wasted around USD 120.
(i know it might not seem much to some of you but its a big amount in my country)


Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I hope I will find the help I need here.

Regards,
Mark
