Did you do a factory reset? That will often get rid of a lot of the junk as it's often part of the data partition.

Regarding getting gplay, you can try flashing [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register].

Also Glogi, please post a short review of your phone in China Phone forum and some pictures in the pic forum That would be appreciated by everybody.

Ok, I will make reference, but the first to do this! ;)

Tell me that reset? DRM reset? or Factory data reset?

In the meantime I put Google store,
I took off my google store apk. and transferred it via USB in the phone (in Dowload file)
and launched, installs, and for now we do?! Is that ok?



pps:
I'm not sure how to change rom and recovery, etc. ..
if there are step by step instructions ... I'll be happy to look at (try?

Now I have a problem!
I reset the phone to factory settings, and then I appeared Chinese characters on the icons! : ((
I put the English language, but Chinese characters are still the name of the icon?
please help?

1) Is it stock Android? Or another launcher? With some launchers, you need to set the launcher language as well as system language.

2) If stock Android, Chinese characters on what icons?
All icons?
gapp icons?
Or are they Chinese apps?

[glogi]

hmm ...
Here now I have the English language to the entire phone .. (I will not reset;)
Again, I put Google store, and currently do not have an internet connection on your mobile
Tomorrow I will try to pull down your other Google apps ...
I hope that everything will work ...
google map, GPS maps, gmail. etc. ..

phone quite fast and works without delay (for now it's ok,
I tried today, wifi, works great, catches a lot of wifi account ...

pk, the next day I set you a picture, and other details ...

Please if you have a step by step, how to insert the second Rom (not Chinese)
a "standard" without Chinese applications! to do all the options?
with that program to make an image display? screenshot?

for now, so I'm going to sleep good night or good day;)

Seems that my links are getting dead pretty fast So here are the original ones, hope you'll have better speeds then me.

Load scatter file in SPFT, click [Download] and plug your phone TURNED OFF.
In case of troubles try rebooting Windows, repluging cable to different slots and doublecheck if phone is recongised properly in device manager.

Play Store you can extract from CyanogenMod Gapps and install like ordinary app. It's named "Phonesky" or "com.android.vending". I did it, and works 100% OK. Or you can download seperate apk file from IPMart or similar forum.

To get rid of chinese apps you can use Titanium Backup, but sometimes you can mess whole firmware. Better way is to just install f.e. Apex Launcher and hide them.

Good luck.

It's the same version I posted above, but with stock Android look. No Lewa skin, applications, etc.
I personally prefer Lewa.

I'm not sure of the procedure! : (I long ago worked on HTC!
Do you have a step by step instructions?
thanks
