I recently installed the leaked lollipop 5.0.1 ROM for the s4 i9500. I can see that it does not come with the google package of google play, google search and also one cannot add a google account in the accounts. I downloaded the apk but that is not running and not even an error is displayed when i click on it. Is there a way to get google play without rooting? and even add a google account?

Follow the below procedure:
- Download the ROM

- Download SuperSU
- Put the zip files on your SDCard
- Reboot in Recovery
- Wipe Data / Factory Reset
- Select "Install zip from SDCard"

- Choose GApps zip file
- Choose SuperSU zip file

You need customized google apps package.
