Hey anyone (though xsacha can probably do it just fine) I got my hands on the free bb10 game "ice age village" .bar file. And wanted, out of curiosity, to install it to my playbook. I ended up with an error (am using google chrome playbook app manager) that it needs to run on bb10 only. That surprised me as I thought it'd install but just not work. The errors I get are:
failure 821 Application-Requires-System: unrecognized system
and
result::failure 821 Application-Requires-System: unrecognized system name 'BlackBerry 10'

So my question is:
If someone can look at the file structure and maybe get it to work on the playbook. From there, we could possibly do this with many other apps and not need bb10 after all.
I'm stressing xsacha as I know he has a very good understanding of these things but I invite everyone possible to try and get this work.

So what do y'all say about this!?

Oh and here's the .bar file (it's not piracy as it's free):

i'll try to modify the manifest file to change the 'bb10' to playbook os


edit; the problem is : Application-Requires-System: BlackBerry 10/10.0.9.0
it should be Application-Requires-System: Tablet OS/2.0.0.0

Application-Name: Ice Age Village
Application-Description: Ice Age Village
Application-Version: 1.0.6.8888
Application-Category: core.games
Application-Requires-System: BlackBerry 10/10.0.9.0
Application-Development-Mode: false
Application-Id: gYADgIKIMGb4P091lUDi4mFx_hE
Application-Version-Id: gYAEgMufV6vo6zmYp9Cm_tRzwss

changing it now, and test if it works !


edit;

C:\Users\HP530>cd C:\bbndk-2.1.0\host\win32\x86\usr\bin

C:\bbndk-2.1.0\host\win32\x86\usr\bin>blackberry-signer -storepass XXXXXXX
C:\Users\HP530\Desktop\IceAgeVillage\IceAgeVillage.bar
Info: Bar signed.
C:\bbndk-2.1.0\host\win32\x86\usr\bin>

installing it now !

This would be so cool. If it works then the devs really need to make these games available for PlayBook too. I got money burning a hole in my PlayBook

[jeroen_13]

doesnt work, crashes on startup. this app is compiled for BB10 so it wont work with the current PB OS

it installed perfectly though

hey maybe a different app. Like let's say beach buggy blitz. Can someone upload the .bar file and try to edit. Btw i appreciate your attempt to make this work

[pttptppt]

oh and may i have the .bar file that can be installed. I'll try and take a look at it.

subscribing to this thread

[pttptppt]

thanks. I really think this idea can progress. Now if someone that knows xsacha can tell him to come. His pm inbox is full last I checked.

[nappp]

hasn't been seen in awhile but jeroen_13 knows his stuff too! we have some real gurus here

[pttptppt]

yes jeroen_13 knows how to do this as he's a developer and also he managed to make this app think it's on a pb and for that im grateful. But in other threads, xsacha is known for fixing exactly what I want

[jeroen_13]

Hey, I'll upload the .bar file within 2hrs so you guys can modify it if you want.
Most of the BB10 apps won't work on the playbook (on my method) because they've been compiled with the BB10 SDK.

The BB10 SDK and Playbook SDK are way different.
BB10 uses: ImageSource: imagefile.png
Playbook uses: image: imagefile.png

There are more of those things that are different..

Don't waste your time, most of the games don't work. Tried beach buggy - doesn't work.

NOTE: every time you modify the .bar file you've to re-sign the whole package !

Q: how you obtain these bar files?

i searched for it on google

[pttptppt]

Hey jeroen_13 can you see what you can do with this app. It's the cb10 app. I know you made your own but I'd like to compare and see if this one works.

why not ask the crackberry team? might be more appropriate

[pttptppt]

how would I contact them? Also, for now, can someone do what jeroen_13 did earlier (or himself) and try to make it work on pb as I'd like to compare it with his crackberry app and maybe offer new suggestions for him

FYI Him stands for jeroen_13

[nappp]

Pm kevin, bla1ze, or Marcus Adolfsson. Can also email [email protected], or post in the official thread http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=765231

Just to name a few ways. Hope this helps. I am trying to help not give you a hard time btw

[pttptppt]

never said you were giving me a hard time and i appreciate the help but I just know how helpful jeroen_13 is and I trust him the most

Porting a BB10 Cascades app to the playbook is difficult. It requires a special method that you need to understand/know. I've done it before so I'll do it again this time on the CB10 app

[pttptppt]

hope it works
