If You don't understand the instructions stop & search on Google/Boards/XDA/etc. and / or ask for help.

.

1. ROM Flashing 

HNR-CM13 – CyanogenMOD 13 – Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow for AMOI L861 device (MT6795 – WQHD) – other known re-brands for such phone :

- STONEX ONE #Galileo – #DaVinci – #Dante

- Santin Dante – DaVinci – Marconi
 

Pre-Requirements :

-          Start from a custom ROM already flashed on the device = FuelOS – PPOS – FlyMEOS . Such ROMs already include custom TWRP recovery 3.0.2 & have unified data storage (while stock firmware uses splitted-data partitioning).

 

Once ready enter TWRP recovery through ADB or using QuickReboot (requires root).

Once in TWRP :

- Mount System
- Advanced Wipe : Cache / System / Data
- Install zip (choose latest available package)
- Reboot & proceed with initial ROM setup

Then, follow GAPPS instructions to avoid "uncertified device" notice when setting up Google account / services = since March 16th Google has enforced its policies against non-certified devices, that use GAPPS without licensing rights and/or certification status (such as devices running custom roms).

.

2. GAPPS Installation / configuration :

 

After you have completed the initial configuration, reboot into TWRP recovery
 

Install the GAPPS package – you can use provided Full set of OpenGapps
 

Wipe Cache and Dalvik
 

Reboot the system
 

Install the provided DEVICE_ID.APK and run it
 

Copy the value of Google Service Framework (GSF)
 

Convert this HEX value to DEC, for example, using an online converter - https://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter
 

Open the browser ( on your smartphone or computer ) and go to https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ 
- login with the same Google account, that You will use on your smartphone
 

Enter the DEC value and register. Refresh webpage in order to check everything ok (you'll see ID below).
 

Reboot your smartphone
 

Go to Settings Accounts and set up a Google Account

 

P.S.: Watch http://com.android .deskclock – latest update 5.2.1 raises SQLiteException DB on HNR-CM13 (20180328 and 20180401).
.
Go into Settings / App, stop Watch app & clear Data/Cache = it should work fine again.
