Preparing Phone

Since the stock messaging client from google is required, we must make sure this application is installed. If you have a Google Pixel phone, then you are in luck since it's made by google, it uses stock everything for a vanilla Android experience. However, many proprietary vendors such as Samsung, LG, and Motorola tend to use their own alternative messaging app. The alternative apps that come pre-installed on 3rd party Android devices will not work. Google's stock messaging app is listed in Google Play store and is easy to install on compatible devices. You can find the stock app here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging

Install

The first screen to show after the installer boots is the default Welcome screen.
