Fix Google Play Store after flashing 14S firmware (+ ROOT + Xposed)

I have no permission to reply in the actual development thread, so I'll post here for people who run into the same problem. I started with 13S firmware my phone came with and followed the "TWRP+ root + 14S" guide by julianhrojas (thanks!). I had no problem flashing TWRP and 14S. However, Google Play Store won't work, as Google Play services force closes whenever I try to add Google account. I tried flashing multiple times, wiping everything including internal SD as well as different versions of Open GApps (Pico, Nano, Mini...) to the same result. What saved me was the Play Store installer for MIUI devices (2.0) available here:

Note that I installed this APK on a clean install of 14S firmware (I didn't test if it can fix previously flashed Open GApps Pico package).

I was then able to flash SuperSU and get a fully functional root. This allowed me to get rid of all the LeEco bloatware (for now I just frozen most of the stuff with Titanium Backup).

I also flashed Xposed framework ( http://ift.tt/1YKogD2 ) which reports itself as working fine, though I didn't really get to test any modules yet.

I installed Nova Launcher, AdAway and the phone feels really great now!
