Google Play on rooted Xperia Z?
Hi All,
Apologies for the noob nature of this question, but it's so generic I can't find an answer to it anywhere.
I need to run the Brexit registration app so we can stay in the UK after Brexit. I can't post the link yet unfortunately, but it's called "EU Exit: ID Document Check". They've made this pretty hard.
The app requires Android 6+ and NFC.
As I'm normally on Apple, I bought the cheapest NFC phone on ebay I could find which was an xperia Z. I didn't realise how old this phone was at the time as I was only focused on the NFC bit. That was probably a mistake. Anyway I've upgraded to 5.1 via the official route. But it looks like 6+ and beyond requires a root and a ROM from XDA. The thing is, I'm only doing this to run the blasted app - and given this is a Government issued app from the Play store that checks my government issued passport, I'm certain they've securified it up the wazoo.
So can someone more experienced help me with the likelihood of me being able to:
(a) Run the Play store so I can install this app once rooted?
(b) Run the actual app once rooted to 6+?
If it's a guaranteed zero then there's no point me spending the time rooting. If it's more than that then I'll go up and read up. Or maybe there's some official way to get to 6+?
Thanks in advance for any help.
