Hi all. I'm looking to make the jump today. Just before I do I was wondering if there is a definitive list of android apps that work with the new 10.2? If not then does anyone know if my small but important list are covered? I'm happy to use native ones where I have too.

Remote desktop application
Airdroid (Wi-Fi connection to upload and download files etc)
Google drive
Drop box
Sky drive
Keepsafe
Msecure
Quickpic
Scanner radio
Ultimate guitar tabs
Tapatalk forum reader

Also..one question. Does 10.2 still allow profiles similar to the BlackBerry of old I used to use?

I can only answer part of your list, so someone else will have to fill in the gaps. I am sure you can probably sideload them if you wanted to.

There are apps for drop box, scanner radio and several for remote desktop in bbw.

BlackBerry Link allows wifi syncing and network drive capabilities. I don't use these so that's all I know.

As for Google drive and sky drive, I use playcloud. It gives me access to those, as well as, box and sugar sync.

Tapatalk was available in bbworld but they took it down for some reason. You can still side load it

I'm almost positive I had a SkyDrive app working on the Z10.

One question. Once I've set up something like drop box or the box and it's integrated into the file manager (love this by the way) can I then remove the icon from my desktop and the program won't delete the settings I've just set up?
If not, is there a way to remove unwanted icons/programs from the desktop, currently, I've created a folder and stuck it on the last screen.

Removing apps depends on the app. If you long press on the icon it will start to pulsate. You will be able to delete it if there is a trash can on top of the icon. If not, then it's a core app.

With regard to deleting the icon once you have everything linked with the file manager, my sense is no you can't delete it. I could be wrong here but I think you still need the app installed for it to work. I do what you do - store unwanted, but needed, apps in a folder on the last page. Out of sight, out of mind.

By the way, welcome aboard. I hope your device works well for you.

There is a way, but it involves extracting the bar file of the apps you want to remove from the autoloader of the OS you're using and sideloading it on the phone. Makes most unwanted icons delete able
