Look i know this might be somewhere on the fourms or a link to a site but im really intrested to know ive recently come from an old android running open-source cyanogen mod 11 kit kat 4.4.4 i know it may be possiable to root my current zte open c firefox os an flash a rom or image of android or create a dual-boot 

but really not keen to mess around with firefox os  i have all my old apk games on sd-card and everytime i click open it does nothing?  Over-all love the firefox os but i cant even play facebook games i.e house of fun slots,  slotcity just to name a few this is really annoying me and got me thinking  surely there is a way to install apks this is all open source with a big community  looking forward to reading any  solutions cheers

hi xbennygx, unfortunately this won't be possible as native apps for android use a totally different technical foundation (java-based runtime) than firefox os (open web apps)...

Cheers mate ill leave it as firefox os im quite enjoying it but there is alot of open source flashing custom recoverys root access an roms of android onto some of these firefox os phones

it is even posiable to dual boot from sd card to either firefox os or android but hey i only just got this phone i dont plan on being stuck coding or readin fourms to try unbrick my phone if it goes sour so in time i can see firefox being able to do the same games as android ios and windows
