Hey guys. This method allows you to run any Android 2.3.3 app in Blackberry 10.1. Even if the app is using NATIVE CODE.
Update: Now works with Android 4.2.2 apps using 10.2 Beta OS.

---

Requirements
1. Java JRE
2. My Android-Pack: (Windows) (Mac) (Linux).
3. Debug Token in same directory as Android-Pack
Create Debug Token:

1. Simply request tokens here. Keep note of the 'PIN' you chose.
2. Edit config.txt and pinlist.txt from Android-Pack. Fill it in according to the examples and instructions it contains.
3. Copy the two .csj files that were emailed to you in to the same directory as the pack and then run RegisterToken.

You should have a debugtoken.bar if everything went successfully. Now you can continue.

---

Convert and Side-load Android Apps:
Windows: Drag any Android app .apk on to ConvertAndroidApp.
Mac/Linux: Run ./ConvertAndroidApp.sh MyAndroidApp.apk and install resulting .bar file.

Remember: Every 30 days you just need to run RenewToken

Frequency Asked Questions

• Why does it tell me my keystore password is incorrect? This usually means you are registering a second time. To register a second time you need to move or delete your debugtoken and your old registration files. They are located in %APPDATA%\..\Local\Research In Motion
• My app crashes/doesn't work properly. Why? Catlog is your friend! Sideload this. Crash your app. This will tell you why.

This has been working for months now. Sorry for not getting it out to you guys earlier!

play store?

Dam! This could be huge

play store?

1) No
2) Android's still on 2.3.3, uses 2.3.3 libraries (xsacha can confirm)
Until BB releases 4.2.2 officially or in leaked OS', it'll stay on 2.3.3.

play store?

Play Store works normally. It doesn't use any special or native code.
It's in the installation blacklist though. So it's a no-go.

No... Way.... X, you are the man!!!

If this is true, well done!

Will try this with Ingress next weekend. If someone else doesn't try before.

Thanks!

Could these bar files be uploaded to a server for mass consumption or will they only work on one device?

How about audible.com? The ported Android versions haven?t worked and it may have been deliberately disabled because of a DRM squabble between BlackBerry and audible.

This is amazing!!! Now all I have to do is get an Android Sdk and debug token :P I know what tomorrow's plans are!

From my understanding a debugtoken has PIN limitations so I'm interested to know if we all have make our own debug token or can we use bar files from other users.

1 device, dependent on debug token + modified bar file

You'd have to get a debug token for each device you have.

With a debug token, you can only use it on devices that have that debug token installed.

[Amtesh Waraich]

I will try this

Woah! How are you able to do this and BlackBerry doesn't?

[xsacha]

I just installed Audible and it seems to work fine.
I just tried the 'free samples'. It downloads them perfectly. Then it plays the audio book.

Sound is perfect.

Hey guys. If you are worried about Android app compatibility in Blackberry 10. Worry no longer.
This method allows you to run any Android 2.3.3 app in Blackberry 10.1. Even if the app using NATIVE CODE.
This includes games, instagram, netflix, teamviewer, you name it.

Requirements:
1. Android SDK
2. A debug token

Steps:
1. Download this package: here.
2. Edit zandroid2bb.bat and change the first line to point to where you have the Android SDK installed.
3. Put your debugtoken.bar in the same directory as the script.
4. Now just drag any Android app .apk on to zandroid2bb.bat. A .bar should be generated (otherwise check the error).

Now you can install this .bar on your device and it should just work. You can use the included zInstaller.bat or other means.

Screenshots:
GLBenchmark Egypt (Native Code)
Pudding Monsters (Native Code)

This has been working for months now. Sorry for not getting it out to you guys earlier!

So if you could do like a how to video or some screen shots that be great! I mean if it's not asking to much, I can figure it out but it'd be great to be sure. Just a thought

It's difficult to show how to get a debugtoken. I'm sure there's a video for that already.

[timhorton]

Wow! That's really cool.

Doesn't work on GoogleServicesFramework.apk, although I suppose that shouldn't come as a surprise?
