Tutorial: Run ANY Android 2.3.3 app on Blackberry10
- This is such bull$h!t. I am somewhat computer savvy and haven't yet found a conversion video or tutorial that doesn't ASSUME things I don't know. How about someone making one for folks like me that KNOW which Android app they want but get lost 30 seconds into any of these attempts at "how easy it is to convert" videos. Thanks!07-29-13 09:01 PMLike 0
- I still have an issue to register my debug token. I've drag those two csj files onto "register token" batch file, and the following error message appeared..
I've connected my Z10 with my PC. And the internet connection is good. But why it still can not made the debugtoken.bar file?
Would you guys help me please.. thank you07-29-13 09:16 PMLike 0 - Successfully installed debug token using Chrome's PB extension. However, apk file fail to convert even though it seems to go through the conversion process. Has anyone experienced this issue who has managed to resolve it, and if so, how? Thanks!
Also, does the converted apk to bar files have a 30-day shelf life subject to the token being renewed?07-30-13 08:40 AMLike 0 - Successfully installed debug token using Chrome's PB extension.

- I don't even know enough about it to have a clue how or why it works. This may go long, and please excuse and ignore if you aren't wrestling with this issue. After I followed this tutorial, including downloading Android-Pack etc., sideloading worked as it should, by following xsacha's tutorial instructions. I was able to get the PBDT and RDK files and get the debugtoken bar onto my Z10, and then when I would convert an apk file through ConvertAndroidApp, and the app would appear and function on my Z10.
Of course, never ever leaving well enough alone, I continue to upgrade the OS and as this tends to wipeout the sideloaded apps I have to redo this process every time I do. And with some leaks (and it might be coincidence more than causualy related, following xsacha's tutorial steps, I sometimes couldn't get the debugtoken and/or the app bar file to show up on my phone, with or without error messages appearing. But even while the after-leak attempt to sideload didn't work, it did create a "debugtoken.bar" file and then an "Audible for Android.bar" (which was the app I was trying to sideload) in the Android-Pak folder on my pc. I just couldn't get those 2 bar files onto my phone.
But the good news is this xsacha guy is relentless, and he also has a great tool, Sachesi, for installing bar files, finding OS's, backing up and restoring, etc. And its superior to Blackberry Link and it's free, with only your conscious to tell you to donate to xsacha's site. I use the Windows version.
So I go to the first post in this thread: http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-le...taller-825409/ and follow the link to download and install Sachesi.
1) Launch Sachesi and then connect your phone through USB:
2) select the "Install" tab in Sachesi (if your USB connection to your phone is good, this will generate an inventory of the apps already installed on your phone, but you don't need to look at that right now for sideloading);
3) select "Install .BAR(s)" under the Sachesi "Tools" section;
4) navigate in the "Install Files" pop-up window that appears, to the Android-Pack folder on your pc;
5) choose the "debugtoken.bar" file (which should appear) and Sachesi will transfer the Debug Token to your phone, even if the the above tutorial method did not (it takes some time, so be patient -- if you scroll down to the bottom of the app inventory list on Sachesi, you will see the progress of the transfer;
6) once it registers as complete on Sachesi, check on your phone's security settings, under "Development Mode" to see if the Debug Token has been installed (it should be);
7) go back to Sachesi, hit "Install .BAR(s)" again, navigate again to pc's Android-Pack folder and you should see the app bar file there, even though it failed to load onto your phone when you tried using the tutorial's "ConvertAndroidApp" function; and
8) chose the app bar file and the app will install on your phone.
If you have any troubles, check in the http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-le...taller-825409/ thread and do a "search thread" for your issue. xsacha has been continually updating Sachesi in response to the feedback, so I check back in and upgrade the program.
Of course, most Android app bar files can be sideloaded using Sachesi install without all of the above because most work without having to have a Debug Token.07-30-13 02:30 PMLike 4 - I still have an issue to register my debug token.

Posted via CB10 using my Gorgeous Z1008-01-13 10:08 AMLike 0 - Hi. I am trying to manage 4 Z10's using the same computer. I managed to get everything working perfectly on mine however I can't get the other three to work. I've gotten everyone their own csj files and created 3 additional android pack folders but when trying to get debug token it says it already installed and errors out. Do I need to use 4 separate pc's for this? Any tips or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

- I succeeded only after removing device password which of course deactivated dev mode. Looks like with Sachesi you don't need to be in dev mode to install applications08-03-13 03:34 PMLike 0
