Unlike other Chromebooks that are getting support in their Beta channels, however, enabling the feature on the Dell Chromebook 13 will require a few somewhat more technical steps beyond simply flipping over to the beta channel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This procedure is not for the faint of heart, or those without a reliable backup of any data on the device, as well as a restore USB key, which can be created via \u201cchrome:\/\/imageburner\u201d. If you\u2019d like to make the leap, crack open a terminal window and read on below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">First off, if you haven\u2019t already, flip over to the Beta channel. To do this, go into your Chromebook\u2019s settings, then go to About Chrome OS, More Info, Change Channel, then Beta. Next, you\u2019ll need to get into Developer Mode, which will entail wiping local data on the Chromebook. To do this, hold Refresh and Esc while pressing the power button to get into Recovery Mode, then hit Ctrl and D. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Once that\u2019s done, crack open the aforementioned terminal by pressing Ctrl, Alt, and T together. In that <\/span>Crosh<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> window, you\u2019ll need to enter in three lines of code verbatim, which may look familiar to Linux users; \u201c<\/span>sudo<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> cp \/etc\/chrome_dev.conf \/usr\/local\/\u201d, then \u201c<\/span>sudo<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> mount \u2013bind \/<\/span>usr<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\/local\/chrome_dev.conf \/etc\/chrome_dev.conf\u201d, then finally \u201c<\/span>sudo<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> echo \u201c\u2013enable-arc \u201d &gt;&gt; \/etc\/chrome_dev.conf\u201d. Log out and back in without rebooting or powering down, and you\u2019ll be able to access the Play Store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Support for the Play Store on this device is still <\/span>rudimentary,<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> and will go away if the device fully powers down or reboots. Should that happen, though, you\u2019re still in Developer Mode, so you won\u2019t have to repeat this whole process. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Just pop open your terminal again, and re-enter that second line of code above. If you\u2019re a road warrior or somewhat forgetful, it may be a good idea to write down that chunk of code somewhere or memorize it well. There is, for now, no timeline on when the feature will hit the Stable channel for the Dell Chromebook 13.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.androidheadlines.com\/2016\/11\/enable-android-apps-dell-chromebook-13.html<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/how-to-enable-android-apps-on-dell-chromebook-13.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How To Enable Android Apps On Dell Chromebook 13 How To Enable Android Apps On Dell Chromebook 13:- Dell\u2019s 13-inch Chromebook is one of the more popular Chromebooks out there, and it seems that it\u2019s next in line to get Android app and Google Play support.
