Help and support is really for issues that arise post-install, How-tos and Tutorials are not for problems but a place to post solutions, work-arounds and how to go about doing things that might be of benefit to members. I am not aware of any definitive guide but you could start by searching YouTube or other viral channels to see what is out there or check forums concerned with the model of Android Tablet you are thinking of purchasing - I would start there. I just did a brief 'DuckDuckGo' and posted what I found.

Good Luck!

If there is any forum member who has undertaken a similar project it would be good if they could post here!


Thanks for clearing that up Swerfendor437, I have tried youtube and google but only got the same on a different page/forum and only got reviews on youtube but thanks I'll try give it another go along with duck duck go.

and if anyone done anything similar and posts thanks.
