By the way, "we" aren't running the whole Android...
Sooo....
How should I say this politely....
No, "we" can't run more Android apps than Android phones.
I seriously think that someone in here tries to pull my leg...

Posted via CB1011-24-13 05:47 PMLike 0 - Pete The PenguinResident CrackBerry WizardI just find it shocking that BB10 supports Android 4.2.2. The shocking part is that BlackBerry 10 can support more Android apps than the vast majority of Android devices.
This a tough pill to swallow. It's the truth though.
Soon we will support and run Android apps better than nearly all Android devices. Testament to the power of BB10

- They probably don't get the message because of all the shareholders writing to them, and in this thread, talking about how amazingly advanced and technologically amazing the android runtime on bb10 is, despite a few minor setbacks, like not actually running the apps.
Posted via CB1011-25-13 03:03 AMLike 3 - Pete The PenguinResident CrackBerry WizardWell, this morning I found out how BlackBerry engineers were able to have Android apps running under BB10...
It's a hack and not a pretty one at that.
Article here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11..._than_android/
I am correct, BB10 is not binary compatible with Android.
As Dalvik is Open Source, it explains why Google are testing ART.

While not specifically an inferiority claim, the new tactic is to accuse of us of "stealing" free software (as though that is possible) or, buying software to run on an Android virtual machine. Because that is somehow illegitimate.

Posted via CB1011-25-13 07:47 AMLike 0 - Pete The PenguinResident CrackBerry WizardWell hopefully BlackBerry get agreements in place to make this seamless to the user because side loading won't be embraced by consumers or business users. As for the ART, Google has created a hydra with Android and all the forks that it will likely continue long after Google moves onto something else.

Revealed: The amazing BlackBerry wizardry that created its 'better Android than Android' • The Register
The Register don't actually praise the BlackBerry engineers, though they do call it an ambitious "hack"
It's a brute force hack and not clever. BSD has been doing this for years. Linux/MIPS was also able to do this with some SGI IRIX binaries, although it could only emulate a subset of IRIX 5.x syscalls.
Given that Google have taken tiny steps into phone production and that they have many partners to keep sweet, I reckon that they'll make a point of breaking things for Blackberry on the next release of Android.

Reading that article, well I am surprised what work went into this. Good on BlackBerry for managing this ;-)
Posted via CB1011-25-13 09:33 AMLike 0 - One could read between the lines about the state of native BB dev given that BlackBerry chose to go this laborious route. And I must say, this is such a catch-22. If Android apps run well I can't see many devs putting in any more effort for native apps. But I also don't see this as more than short term, given the resources and commitment needed to keep compatible with whatever Google decides to do. All those indicators suggest little long-term positives. This is a very difficult position for BlackBerry to be in.Poirots Progeny likes this.11-25-13 09:47 AMLike 1

Ultimately, if bb10 can run native android as well as an android device - well hybridisation may be a way forward. I don't know. As you say - this is a very difficult position to be in.

Posted via CB1011-25-13 10:34 AMLike 0 - So it looks as though blackberry is supporting our use of apk's come launch of official 10.2.1. This is huge.
The app gap will close over night. It is what it is. The app gap will be officialy gone
