You don't need to use CrOS Flex, you can use Brunch, it's another to run ChromeOS but also allows you to use Android Apps on it (Which is the key feature of ChromeOS imo).

You may look into Brunch as the Chrome OS Flex is more limited. https://github.com/sebanc/brunch

Cheers, checking it out now. I had originally tried: https://github.com/vladikoff/chromeos-apk to just load it up in google chrome and load the apk, but I don't think it's working since nothing happens. I'm wondering if there is something newer than this out there that does the same thing.
