Nvidia Shield with Android OS: Is It Stable?

[Orion's Basement]

I'm excited about getting the Nvidia Shield and trying to put the Android OS on it. It looks so good together when you look at the videos on YouTube. What I would like to know is are the Google Play apps stable? With my current set-up I have to clear data or reinstall apps all the time. I have an M8 Android box. Are any of you having those kind of issues with the Shield? Also, just in case I lose heart because I'm terrified of bricking it, where do I find a place a to buy or send my Nvidia Shield to to install the Android OS? Does a legitimate place or person exist that does this? Ofcourse I would have to verify. Thanks.

Comes with Android OS already installed. Play store should be on there as well. Not anything you'd really have to do.

F.A.N. (Full Android Nougat)

That is not a full Android OS the Nvidia Shield comes with, trust me. I just flashed the Full Android Nougat firmware from DroidMote and it's like night and day. The Android OS that comes with the Shield is very difficult to customize. You're limited to what Nvidia allows you to have. With the Full Android OS you are in total control of your console. You can put live wallpaper, customize the homescreen to whatever look you want, and lots more.
