So… here comes the question - what do I need to do, to set up the phone? I need to download your inkOS and sideload it with Mudica Center? And during the initial setup I will be able to choose it as a default launcher?

Very close! You technically can just install the apk that you download from github and install it via Mudita Center. And set the launcher as default during setup. Yes that is correct.

However, one tricky part is that Mudita will still refuse it, and when you press home button it will redirect you to the Mudita Launcher, so you have to disable the Mudita launcher that after setting inkos as the default launcher.

Here’s a short guide on how to disable the launcher if you have adb/webadb experience:

And I need to download a viber apk and do the same?

Yes or you can sideload just the apk from viber website, or if you want a way to manage the updates you can sideload a store like AuroraStore (which takes the apks from google playstore) and will allow you to update the apps straight from the phone.

And then play around with the settings to personalize the phone?

Yes to set the apps at first just longpress in the “select app” to set each app for each shortcut. Then to edit and personalize it longpress in the empty areas and you can go to settings of inkOS and modify the look.
