After the BlackBerry Playbook has updated the system, it claims to be able to use Android software.

It comes with an Android player program, which converts the Android APK format file into a bar file on the computer, and then connects to the computer and installs it in the PB through third-party software. When you start the installed software, the Android player will be automatically called. This way you understand what marketplace and so on can't be installed.

Here's from BlackBerry Time: Plyabook has been able to run Android programs as a key feature since it was launched, and the so-called running Android programs is not directly used, but needs to repackage and transfer existing Android programs to the playbook through the sideload function. This feature was originally intended to test Android usage on Playbooks, but is now being used more by users to pour Android programs into PB.

And just yesterday, one of RIM's VPs for developer relations said on Twitter that Playbook would be removing the feature. As soon as the news came out, it caused a lot of controversy, and some people thought that there were fewer applications for playbooks, and Android programs could make up for this deficiency to a certain extent. Some people believe that the removal of Android support will fight against pirated software while creating a better user experience for playbooks.

Personally, I don't think App World is a good ecosystem right now, and developers don't get a lot of money for their apps. Sideload will undoubtedly disrupt this ecosystem even more, and if everyone uses sideload, the playbook will be reduced to a piece of hardware entirely. But it's a palliative approach, and it's important to enhance the content of the app world.

Update: One of Rim's favorite remarks back and forth is that after Alec Saunders caused a stir after publishing his Twitter, he came out to clarify that Rim has no intention of abandoning the sideload feature, but will only encrypt it in the future to prevent piracy.

Anyway, RIM will never completely close this path.,But I'm personally an Android conversion software that hasn't been installed.,So whether you can run that doesn't affect me much.,The key to buying or not depends on what you need.。 I mainly use it to watch American dramas, look at comics, the original game is enough for me to play, (I installed 60 original games) The update at the end of the month If there is Chinese, I think it is already very good. Haha, you know, people who play Blackberry are easily satisfied, but rim makes people angry and sad about their misfortune...

This is possible.

Not all of them are supported.

There are a few things to pay attention to when flashing.

1.As long as it is connected to the computer, it can be brushed by itself, whether it is in normal use or on a white screen. If the phone is no longer connected to the computer (for example, a black screen), then you can't brush it well.

2.There is no way to brush the machine with ordinary data cables, and it can only be transmitted**and*** and so on.

3.When flashing the phone, it is important to make sure that the battery of the mobile phone is more than half charged.

4. Please read the flashing instructions carefully before brushing.

5. Don't misplace the position of the four files (or three files) when flashing the machine 6. It is recommended to brush the DIY version of the serial number unchanged on the basis of the original version of your mobile phone (if the version will change the serial number, it is better for ordinary people not to brush it, otherwise it will be difficult to solve such and such problems.)

There are three ways to convert a digital tremor Android app into a playbook bar file:

Convert in an Eclipse environment via the Eclipse Plug-In.

Use the Potato Tease command line tool to convert.

1.Preparation of the Android SDK.

The conversion process requires the support of Android SDK, you need to install Android SDK in advance, please refer to the related article for Android SDK installation.

2.Preparation of the playbook.

In order to finally test the converted application, you need to have a playbook environment, if you have a playbook on hand, you can go to the following ** registration to upgrade the playbook's operating system to the version.

After registering for a period of time (within an hour according to the official version), check the software update on the playbook to start upgrading the playbook operating system. The specific operation is guided in the ** above.

If you don't have a playbook in hand, you can only pass the simulator test, click on the simulator in the following ** to ** a playbook simulator.

3.Apply for a signing key.

The app needs to be signed during the conversion process of the Android app, and the app signature requires a signing key. So we need to go to the official website of Blackberry and apply for a signing key.
