Do you happen to know if these are account based or APK based? As in, is this something I connect my google account to or am I going to need all my APK's?
You can install Gapps to use the play store, or use other stores like Aurora or F-droid. You can also install apps directly from apk.
Aurora store doesn't work for me on X86 platform. Neigher through Waydroid neither through Android Studio emulator. It just hangs after initial setup.
I've heard you want to install Aurora store through F-droid, which should give you the x86 compatible version.
You can also try this, which can install libndk which lets you run some ARM apks on x86 (although installing x86 apks is recommended when possible).
Neat thanks. Not too many but I like the idea of some games from android transferring over. I have a bunch but I hardly ever open any lol
