    Sorry, you'll need to buy an Android phone.... core Google apps have always been an issue on the BB Runtime. Some did worked with patching a few years ago, but even Cobalt's solution is less effective today. Many of those have moved beyond Android 4.3 or need the full "current" Google Services.

    But you can access the web version of many of those....

    Maybe @johnb_xp can help you. He claims to have been able to set it up.

    I'm using MicroG on my Classic, works great. Have been using it for a year or so.
    Use Cobalt's play store and patching program for Windows (removes GMS signature check completely)
    PlayStore 10 by cobalt

    You don't have to install any of Cobalt's .apks except the Play Store (com.android.vending) because MicroG supports connecting Google Accounts now.

    The login page is kinda buggy, but I was able to get through it on my Classic by using the trackpad to move the cursor.

    You could try swiping down from the top and adjusting scaling?

    No, there's no desktop software that would be useful in this situation.

    Try tapping the left edge of the email box, that's what's selected when I use the trackpad on my Classic

    For BAR file you can use the PlayBook/BB10 extension in the Chrome Broswer to install native apps.

    With Android apps... all you could do is move the APK install file to the phone... APK have to install themselves. Now there are some ways of converting APKs to BAR files, but results were always very poor.

    Bottom line is what apps do you want and can they run on BB10.... there are many Android apps that will work. Just not the ones you asked about...

    Why in the world would you want to run the Android GMail app when you can use the native HUB?

    Well if you can post what version you found and what you had to do to get those all to work... that might be helpful for many others.


    Gmail, just add the account to the HUB.

    You don't need to patch. You just won't be able to log in.

    Here is the last working version:

    Hello conite. Upon your suggestion, I am using yalp (forked) version, I have found an FPS game called pubg lite. Is it possible I can play it on my BlackBerry Leap or it needs to be patched first and to install MicroG services or something?
    I am asking because at the detailed page of this app is written the requirements - Google Play Services and Google Play Services

    Why not just download it and see what happens?

    Although why you would try to play a game on a device with 2012 hardware is hard to understand.

    Actually my friends are mad after knowing that I have pubg on my list. They're always calling me to join their pubg party.
    And okay if you say so, I shall try downloading it.
    It's just that I don't want any troubles that's why I approached you.
