Re-Google My Chinese Android Phone

I bought a Chinese Android phone for my father, Pioneer E80W which runs Android 4.0.4. It works great except for one big problem - it has been de-googled!!! This is obviously a huge problem, as you cannot load a google account on there, so cannot sync contacts, cannot load Google play on there, Google Maps etc etc. It seems even if you find the APK file for a Google app, it won't install properly, whereas some from other developers will work.

I guess part of fixing it will be to root the phone, but Superoneclick says it is already rooted. This has made a great phone pretty useless. Help!!!! :mad:

Also, to double check, does anybody know a reliable source of apk files for things like Google Play as I always seem to get dragged into spammy sites that insist I load other software etc etc.
