To answer the question. I have booked marked this post so I can look into it further. I will let you know if I attempt it. I have moved some apk files to a kindle fire tablet and some will work fine other will not run at all because of the dependence on google play services. I cant say that I miss them though. I find myself playing games on my phone less and less anyway. I never use facebook or twitter or Instagram, or even have accounts, anyway.
