Hello, i have an HP Chromebook 11 G4 it shows that it's pending updates to be compatible with Android apps. I'm guessing that's not going to happen.

Question: is there a custom ROM that can be flashed on these Chromebooks, a slim ROM maybe that can also support Android apps ?

I'm clearly a noob to Chromebooks custom firmware ? Or add APK support ? Something ?.

    Edit: Just realised I am duplicating johnjingle above. Apologies! Thought I had clicked johnjingle's link and found it to lead to a different thread. My mistake - Too many tabs, tiny phone screen.

    I can't post a link at the moment but if you google "ifixit managed chromebook" (without quotes) you will find a guide/walkthrough you can try. Basically it involves opening the device, removing the write-protect screw on the motherboard, pulling the battery for 30 seconds, then putting the device in developer mode and in a root shell using vpd-l to view current serial#, & vpd-s to write new.

    so..what do i do.. did i just buy 3 paper weights?

    ive tried every thing.. that i can find.. heck i even called him back to see if i brought it in if he would at least enable the disabled modes..

    any thoughts would be great.
