Since this image did not include any apps like Google play store, I downloaded Play store from apkmirror and installed it.
However, there is no shortcut installed on the desktop and there is no "app drawer" to find it in so I see no way to start the store.

Any ideas?

Cool, that took 2 sec to download

Looks like I finally got the download to start, but I only get a few kilobytes per second so it will take like 24 hours or so.
Seem like the server is hosted in China and I'm in Northern Europe.

Would be nice to have a mirror somewhere so it could be downloaded in at least less than a minute.

I would very much like to test the compiled image, however the download link does not work. The download starts, but not a single byte of data downloads, and after some hour if fails, I re-try again, but nothing downloads. Is there some alternative location for the file where I can download it from....
