A Youtube video explains to go to google playstore BlackBerry. com to download the APK files. I did that and successfully installed it but the first App I tried was Gmail and ironically, I could not sign in. A BlackBerry box popped up saying it requires google play services and my phone does not support the store. Of course, one of the files was that! A weather App did install and work.
Do you have some insight on this?

Cobalt's file share (download to PC and move files over to device):

Install and login with 4.3.3.

Install and register with 2.8.

Install Play Store v6 build2.

***Stop here if all you want is Play Store

Install Play Services v11.

Install 4.4.4 (but don't open after)

Install Play Games v5 (if desired).

Install whitelist 1.0.0.6.

***If an app requires Google Play Services, then:

Download app with Cobalt's Play Store (but don't install).

Whitelist unpatched app.

Patch app on PC with Play Services Patcher 1.6 using defaults settings.

Install patched app.


If after all that, your app still doesn't work, then it's simply not compatible with BB10.

Thanks but beyond my ability to find and do all that.

Then you either get help from someone more tech savvy than you, or move on to an Android device. Get a Key¹ or Key² if you prefer a PKB phone.
