[TUT] HipStreet Aurora google play working without flash for nublets

This is a guide on how to get the google play store working on HS aurora devices. I'm not sure if this will work on other HS devices but I see no harm in trying.

Files you will need :

1- Link2sd app

2- Latest google play store

3- Latest google play services

Copy apks to your android device via usb, external sd or wifi file manager (even bluetooth if your HS device suports it)

Install them but do not open them.

Open up link2sd, with this app you should see all installed apps on the tablet.

Navigate to the google play services and click on it. In the sub menu click on the [actions] button and select [convert to system app] (if this option is "grayed out" then probably your tablet isn't pre rooted and you may have to flash recovery/firmware)

Repeat this process for the google play store app.

Reboot the tablet.

Cheers! Google play store should work

*With link2sd you can "kind of" create your own custom firmware uninstalling unwanted system apps and install your own system apps (internet browser,app launcher,app store...) You can even do this after a "fresh install" (master reset) and then make a recovery image and save to sd card so you wont have to repeat the entire process if anything hapened. The recovery can be accessed by holding the vol down button while powering up the device. You will need a usb keyboard to navigate in the recovery
