    So, first off, many thanks for this tool. I've been able to patch Google Music and Chromecast, however, I still can't fix my issue and I'm curious if anyone has come across something similar.

    Google Music works just fine on my Passport, except when I want to connect to my ChromeCast. When I tap the "cast" button, a pop-up says "finding devices" but never finds my ChromeCast. I've tried everything that I can think of, but nothing seems to work.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I love my Z10 but the app issue is getting to be a pain, so have decided to try and master side loading android apps before giving up and getting a different phone. Thanks for all the info on here - have tried to read and follow all the steps but am stuck now and so I'm hoping for some help with installing patched android apps.
    I installed Snap successfully and installed the Strava and Easyjet apps through that app. Both of these installed but then I got the error message about needed google play services. Strava app wouldn't work at all, while in the easyjet app I was able to tap off the error message and it seemed to work OK.
    Read the thread on here about how to get around the issue with google play services. Followed the instructions for downloading and installing google account, blackberry google ID and google settings. These all seem to now be installed ok on my Z10. I was able to log into the google account app after installation and that seems to have worked.
    Then I deleted both unpatched apps from the phone, downloaded the play services patcher and successfully created a patched version of the easyjet apk file on my pc. Transferred this to my phone via bluetooth and tried installing but I get an error message saying 'unable to install this app'.
    No idea what to try next.

    It might be because you have the Android Runtime bug: http://www.crackberry.com/if-youve-b...update-try-now

    Lucky Patcher is dead, not recommended by anyone who matters. Use Cobalt's Play Service Patcher (on your PC..not on your phone).

    Yes, sort of. I got a bit confused because after it had installed I clicked on open and then it just gave me a screen with the BB logo and the message 'initializing'. Then I thought that maybe there wasn't anything to open really, given that was an update not an app installation. So, I exited from that screen and switched the phone off and on again. Tried installing the patched app and got the same erorr message about not being able to install. Then I tried the one from Snap again just to see if anything might be different. Got the 'google play services' needed error again. No idea what else I can try really.

    Hi guys, I updated Cobalt's tool with Apktool 2.0.3 and it's running great. Patching is easy and straightforward. However some of my fav apps failed to rebuild on your tool. I believe that those Apk included "strange" resources like Obb that apktool cant handle it. Can we use some other tool to rebuild? I know one that confirm working on those annoying APK.

    Did you installed Java?
    If not then here: o r a c l e.c o m/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
    Remove gaps on the link (damn 10 posts rule)
    After this, if you are using Win x64, you should check emulated WoW64 folder too (Program File (x86))

    You should check 2 folder:
    1. Program Files
    2. Program File (x86) (if it exist on your PC)

    Changelog:
    -Updated with "experiment" ver of Apktool.
    -Changed UI.
    I might consider update your patcher with latest components like app-downloader and zipalign...
    Add a option to remove ads would be great....

    trying to patch "My Maps" app by Google. Unpatched it can't find any custom maps and patched it finds all maps and saved points but it just doesn't load the Google map. Has anyone had any success with this app? I would very much like to get it working.

    To your computer, so that you can run it through the Patcher and then to your phone.
