Howdy!

Android player here.  ;D

First things first, forget about the "+" thing. OXCE has been just OXCE since a couple of years now.

You need your original UFO data, unzipped. Create a folder on your memory root using your favorite file manager, name this folder openxcom. You need to get the OXCE apk, found here. Run said apk, remember to have the "Allow Installation from Unknown Sources" option enabled. Then, if the apk didn't made it, create a mods folder by yourself. Drop the latest XCF build, either zipped or unzipped (But just pick one! if you have both zipped and unzipped mods you will mess up your game!) and run the program icon on your Android menu.

thx for advice,

XCF alrdy installed succesfully, - but the controlling, commanding the gals on touch (small) screen controls is quite MUCH hard..   ???
