How to get Android APPS working on Windows Phone 10 Preview [EASY GUIDE]

Microsoft has been working on Android APK support in Windows Phone 10. This guide will talk how to enable Android virtual machine on Windows Phone 10 Preview and install Google Play Android Store with further Android apps.

You will need:
Windows PC
USB Cable
Nokia Lumia Windows 10 Phone with at least 1GB of RAM. List of tested and working models:

•Nokia Lumia 820
•Nokia Lumia 920
•Nokia Lumia 925
•Nokia Lumia 928
•Nokia Lumia 929 (icon)
•Nokia Lumia 1520
•Nokia Lumia 830
•Nokia Lumia 930
•Nokia Lumia 730
•Nokia Lumia 435
•Nokia Lumia 635 (1GB RAM variant)
Click to expand...

I will use Nokia Lumia 920 for this guide. It's running Windows Phone 8.1, so I'll need to update it to Windows Phone 10 first.

Updating to Windows Phone 10 Preview

Download Windows Insider app from Windows app store.

Enroll for Windows Phone 10 Preview Insider program, I recommend Fast Ring option for the latest Win 10 version.

Phone will reboot.

Go to Settings > Phone Update > Download Windows 10 update.

Enabling Android virtual machine and installing APKs

Download APK Windows 10 Insider tool to Windows PC.

Connect phone to PC via USB.

Click pair, phone will give code.

Enter code in developer app.

Drag Android App APK file and click install.

Install takes from half a minute to several minutes, depending on size of the APK.

Where to get Android APKs?

Search Google Play in web browser for an app you want.

Copy app page url from web browser

  Error 14 means either your device is no in supported list or you haven't installed "Developer Enhacements" update.

  Accessing Android Root in Windows Phone 10 file explorer.
  
  Simply create two shortcuts in Windows PC.
  C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow
  C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\mnt\shell\emulated\0
  Copy both to phone ********* folder.
  Access ********* folder in Windows 10 file explorer and system folders via shortcuts.
  
  --- Double Post Merged, Aug 16, 2015 ---
  
  Installing Gapps: Google Play, Google Framework and depended apps like Snapchat.
  
  Complete Accessing Android Root Guide and create Aow shortcut.
  Download GappsInstaller script.
  The latest version https://github.com/Marocco2/AM-GApps-Tool
  
  Pair your phone in APKToWin10M Insider tool.
  Run Gappsinstaller script 1Install.bat
  It took me round 3 minutes to push all files.
  Script will say "it finished, reboot phone". DO NOT REBOOT YET.
  Use Aow shortcut to access C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow then go data\local\tmp\busybox
  Select Busybox file and Copy To, press up several times till you end up in Aow again, then go RootFS\system\xbin and hit yes to copy.
  Go to Aow\data\local\tmp\Gapps\app select all files and Copy to, go up till Aow and RootFS\system\app yes to copy all files.
  Copy further contents of
  tmp\Gapps\etc -> RootFS\system\etc
  tmp\Gapps\framework -> RootFS\system\framework
  tmp\Gapps\lib -> RootFS\system\lib
  Open for developers > turn off Developer mode.
  Reboot phone
  Turn on developer mode, device discovery, pair with APKToWin10M Insider tool again (may need to disconnect first)
  Press Enter on 1Install.bat script to continue to Part 2.
  This should go quickly, it will show "finished, restart phone", but DON'T RESTART YET. (Restarting with developer mode on will crash it)
  Go for developers, Turn off developer mode.
  Reboot phone.
  Turn on developer mode, device discovery, pair with APKToWin10M Insider tool again (may need to disconnect first)
  Press Enter on 1Install.bat script to continue and finish.
  Turn off developer mode and reboot.
  Turn on devoloper and run Google Play store.
