Ok, so Netease caught on to everything, and put a stop to all of our shenanigans. None of this would be a problem if they just released an english version. I doubt that will happen anytime soon though.
~~~EDIT~~~
Fildo.net is probably the best alternative. They have a decent android app, and it uses the music from Netease, I believe. Check it out!
But I mean, in the event that you are a stubborn bastard and refuse to quite Netease, there might be a way to get around their block. The following was taken from a comment on page 15 by ItsJono. Good luck!
-----------------
From what I understand, the NetEase translation development was forked into two different projects, the one here is for NON-ROOT people who do not have access to root/xposed installer. This uses a modified APK with modified files that NetEase has begun detection for tampering. The second version, is the one for ROOT/Xposed which i'm installing now. The Xposed version is better since it translates the file on the fly in memory versus having a pre-modified APK so that NetEase can update itself and not break translation.
Edit: Okay, the Xposed version of NetEase + Translation Xposed Module + English translation = Works again!

I didn't want to do this before because it looked confusing and hard, especially with so much of the information being in Spanish but it turned out to be quite easy. I'll give a quick overview of what I did to help those who want a clearer, native English description of how to do it. The first link was very helpful with it having been translated from Spanish, and while the English was good, it was clear it wasn't their first language and I want to help those who might be a little iffy as to what the process is:
[How to Install Xposed version of NetEase]
Q: Why install Xposed version of NetEase, versus the pre-translated APK located in this thread?
A: The pre-translated APK of NetEase offered by @omarchavez/XDA: omare.chavez is great for users who do NOT have root access on their device. However, it is prone to "breaking" from NetEase's hash check of APK from what my Android developer friend explains as a possibility. The Xposed version allows you to have the latest official NetEase APK installed without having to wait for an updated APK to show up. Xposed version also allows quick corrections in typos in the translation files, whereas it would require a rebuild of the translated APK, of which, the primary developers are Spanish and English translation is not their primary concern.
Q: I don't have root access, which version should I download?
A: The version you should download is the one offered by @omarchavez / XDA: omare.chavez. Download and install Telegram from Google Play Store and use your phone to visit this address: https://telegram.me/neteaseES , then subscribe to his channel so you can receive the latest developments and download the latest APK version of pre-translated NetEase.

Before Install: Have root access, and Xposed installed so you can install the Xposed module that translates the program, without breaking the functionality of NetEase
1.) Install AndroTraductor Xposed module, enable it in Xposed, reboot (?) /// Or follow instructions here: http://superdevs.weebly.com/androtraductor.html
2.) Install latest NetEase APK directly from NetEase, http://music.163.com/api/android/download/latest
3.) Download the translation files:
English - http://www.mediafire.com/download/c6...#91;b_1.0].zip
Spanish - https://mega.co.nz/#!GRlCVRID!vyQlET...smSTKzeDbQ5ncs
Spanish 2 - https://userscloud.com/8c66tzcqb8eh
...and then create a folder in your Android device's root directory named "dv_translate", and extract the contents of the translation zip file that you downloaded in your language so that the file structure looks like the images shown in the link.

Reboot device and load up NetEase, the app should have some text translated in your language that you downloaded. Images cannot be translated as they would require modification of the .APK contents and would fail the hash check when NetEase checks for modification.
[How to register for Weibo/NetEase account]
Q: Why should I register an account?
A: You can use NetEase as a Guest but miss out features by not having an account. Having an account allows you to have unlimited 320KB/s quality MP3 song downloads, save your favorite songs, create playlists, etc. I would definitely recommend it. It's also not very hard and is a very simple process.

2.) Use the follow image or Google translate to help you. http://superdevs.weebly.com/uploads/...png?1434101457
*Please note that the image here has a small mistake, the first red arrow on top where it says "Username" is supposed to be your email. I believe you'll be prompted later to choose a NetEase username handle.
3.)Log in NetEase using the information you put and enjoy!
