[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:

3. Turn off the tablet and swap out the storage SD card for the Cyanoboot/recovery card. Power up, using the "n" button to access the boot menu. Select "SDC recovery". This boots into TWRP. Select "Install".

a. From the SD card select mapsv1.zip and swipe to install.

b. From the SD card select the xposed.zip (whatever version it is--there's only one on the card) and swipe to install.

c. Return to the Home menu, remove the Cyanoboot SD card, replace the storage SD card and reboot to system.

4. Use the file manager to locate the various downloads I had you do. Tap on the xposed installer apk and select "install". Next tap on the "fake GApps" apk and select "install". When that's done leave the file manager and go to the app drawer and find these two apps. Run the xposed installer. There will be some stuff about permissions, etc. Just check or tap things to make it happy. It may or may not show the FakeGapps module. If it does, check that for approval. Then you will have to reboot for things to take effect. If the module does not show up you have to reboot anyway. I'm sorry but I don't have an actual install of this to show you screencaps. I have done this a different way, but this way is easier for you. If you have questions, just take some screenshots and ask.

When all the rebooting is done the xposed installer app should show that the FakeGapps module is enabled.

6. a. Open the file manager and from the hamburger menu go to "System folder". Tap on the priv-app folder. Tap on the three dot menu at the bottom left corner. An "Actions" context menu opens. Select "New folder". Name the folder "Phonesky". When the folder is created, long-press on it until the Action menu pops up again. You need to set Permissions for the folder (and later for files, so this is an important step). From the Action menu tap on "Properties". There are two tabs. You want the one on the right ("permissions"). The correct permissions are rwx-rx-rx (these are three separate lines (see screenshots below).

b. Navigate back to where you stored all the downloads and find the microG Companion apk (maybe called com.android.vending-16.apk). Tap the little box next to it so there is a check mark. Then return to /system/priv-app/Phonesky. When you're there, tap on the little three-dot menu at the lower left corner and from the Action menu choose "Move selection here". When the apk file appears, long-press on it, select "Properties" and then "Permissions". Set to rw-r-r. This is how you "install" a system app (as opposed to a user app).

7. Return once again to where you stored all the downloads. There are two other microG components there (maybe called com.google.android.gms....apk and com.google.android.gsf-8.apk or something similar). Check both little boxes and return to /system/priv-app. When you're there, tap on the little three-dot menu at the lower left corner and from the Action menu choose "Move selection here". When the apk files appear, long-press on each (one at a time), select "Properties" and then "Permissions". Set to rw-r-r.

8. Reboot

9. If everything has gone OK you should see microG Settings in the app drawer, but these settings have also been inserted into the stock Settings app. Open the settings and see what it says. Generally you will have to give various permissions. Below I've shown what my screen looks like now with everything done (you haven't installed the Location backend yet). Run the Self-check. It should look more-or-less like the screencap below when everything is done properly.

10. To complete the Location function installation (yes, you should do it; you can always have location turned off if you never use it for maps or Google or whatever) return to where you stored all the various downloads and find the apk with "backend" or "Mozilla" in its name. Tap and select "install". Return to the microG settings and see if it recognizes any location stuff. If not, you may have to reboot. You will probably have to tap on "Location" in the microG settings and turn on the Mozilla Location Service.

11. Return to where you stored all the downloaded stuff and tap on the Aurora Store apk. Select "install". Find it in the app drawer afterwards. Basically just page through the various set-up options, leaving them alone, until you get to the sign-in screen. I'm not sure about geo-blocking or other potential issues, but since this app technically violates Google's TOS for the PlayStore, I suggest using the "anonymous" login (I do). You won't be able to purchase apps, but everything free is at your command. Just don't go crazy yet.

Whew! That's a lot. Let's see how it goes.
