Here’s what you could do, If you wanted to run Goole Play Store with a minimalist Google setup on your Fairphone—Make sure your phone is rooted and you have a file manager with full root access (e. g. File Manager with root access). Download a Google Apps package for CM 10.1 (equivalent to the Fairphones Android 4.2) from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps. From this zip, move these files to your phone storage: GmsCore.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Phonesky.apk. Use a file explorer with root rights to move these four files to /system/app/. Next, download the latest Google Play apk (e. g. http://www.androidpolice.com/?s=latest+google+play) and install it. Restart your phone. Done.
