you should extract zip of gapps 5.1 folder to /system, then copy folders from gapps folder with names that resides in /system and merge them, then install apks from gapps folder with rom toolbox with root permissions.. worked for me, still got some bugs with sync exchange contacts but google and play market working.

Thanks, have you tried install gapps with TWRP? I have seen somewhere, that it could be possible. Tonight I try it.

As I know, its not possible with TWRP. You can only flash ROMs for merged partitions. You have to use China's CWM recovery for merging.

To install the firmware on Gapps CM12.1 v 4. first need to install the firmware Gapps then and only then do the merger

Hey 5KKKKK, was wondering if you could possibly get me the download link for the root tool from this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52911209#post52911209 thread. http://d-h.st/8Ma is getting detected as malware and it isn't installing for me. Thank you so much! I got my phone repaired and they deleted all my content so that's why I need to get the tool.

Should only buy if you're experienced with rooting since when you buy it, it doesn't come with the playstore and with a bunch of chinese software. So if you're into that type of stuff, buy it. If not, just buy something like the one plus one since you don't really need to root it or flash any roms

Yes i know how to root android devices , and i had compiled cm11 for my previous phone from scratch so i think that i have enough experience to deal with it , s291 model is available in my country , does it have 3000 mah battery , and what's it's screen on time ?

It is a cost-efficient phone, the only issue is the design, looks terrible..

Anyone know a good English CWM? Im tempted to install TWRP and get a theme but most ROMs can't be flashed and merging partions aren't working as of now

Did you merge partition with Chinese cwm before you flashing rom? How did you do?
