[Q] Blackberry playbook android porting - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Blackberry playbook price have been downsized by 50% so its a great buy only if android porting can be done, can any of our port android for it...... it would be great........

If you're asking if Android applications can be ported to the BlackBerry Playbook, then the answer is yes.
Research in Motion recently released OS 2.0 which allows for Android emulation on the Playbook. I believe it emulates Android 2.3.3. Using their freely available tools, you can convert your application apk to their bar format and it will function correctly on the Playbook.
However, there are some limitations to what Android abilities you can port. For example I heard you cannot port applications with ads. I believe there is a list of cans and cannots you can perform on OS 2.0.
I hope this answered your question.

Yes you can port android apps very easily using rims online tools, I did so myself to win a playbook. You can't use admob ads in your apps but I think other ad providers are supported just not google.
When you use their online tools they will tell you if your apps are compatible.

No it isn't possible yet but it might be in future, if it is you will almost certainly find out first at the crackberry forums as xda is not really pb oriented and its the crackberry guys who are looking into porting different operating systems to pb.

yep! i am about to start working on it from today. i uderstood the logic and how to bypass.
i dont know if i will succeed. i am not much of an android fanboy. i am a debian chap. so i will try to port debian onto it. but this doesnt mean android will go w/o support. i will try my best with what i can and level best.

I am sorry for the bad language
Go to school or teach yourself.

PFroyjr, das harshly put man, (OUCH) hey A.D. , the best way (in a mannerable way of saying wat pfroyjr jus said man) , is to do the old fashioned trial and error! The BEST advice I can give (because I will be using it also) is to find "Android Development for Dummies" , you can either download the PDF (legally or illegally is your decision) or go to a library and find it (download is your best bet, though.) It gives very in depth info on android deving, and is a great help! Otherwise, you can download a kitchen (go to theunlockr.com and search android kitchen, or search the XDA forums for one that somebody created) and start cooking lol.! Hopefully, ur gonna git a magnificent dish. I doubt that we use the same phone but you hav my support 100% from one dev in training to another
Hope this helps,

Sorry it was an off day LOL. The for dummies book is good but the biggest issue I see people learning dev is Linux. Pick up a good book on Linux and setup your pc/mac with the appropriate software. Best of luck and if you have any specificquestions I know there are lots of great people here to help, but Google first

I disagree...unless your doing something with the kernel you don't need linux at all.
sent from my uncyanogen modded epic 4g. with the key skips.
You still need to understand how the system works. Side note since you mentioned kernels....most newer ROMs have certain kernels that work and some that don't. The dev process is about learning how it ALL works not just how to theme a ROM someone else made.
No offense but any moron can follow directions on how to modify someone's work and not know HOW it works. True talent is by understanding and creating something new and original even if based on someone else's idea.
Hence I say learn Linux at least enough to understand

I agree with the both of them. Windows and Linux are like riding a bike vs. Riding in a car, its like 2 completely different ways of getting to the same thing, just one is faster than the other! Now my only objection to pfroyjr's statement is that http://www.cygwin.com gives windows the main pieces of Linux! I have yet to use it, but from what I understand, its probably gonna save you a couple of Gigs in PC memory vs. Partitioning your hard drive to dual boot or installing a virtual machin via Virtual Box! Unless you are talking about learning how to build a rom all the way from planting a seed to watching the tree grow, you probably don't need to know every piece of linux! Also, with the help of various things like APK manager (which breaks down the compiled XML files for editing using a regular text editor, rather than some complicated software) the sky is the limit when it comes to theming!
So, to sum up my statement, and kinda piggyback on what the other 2 said, if you just want a slightly different LOOK, then Linux is not necessary. But if your trying to take the future of ROMs to a whole new level, you either need Cygwin or, as pfroyjr said, Learn Linux!

[Q] Root Store (cydia for Android)

I have a question regarding a store for all root users, almost like cydia on iOS devices. Is there anything like that? I have searched but have not found anything.
If no one else have found anything I am considering developing an app that have all root apps/tweaks/themes in one app. Altough I need help since I only am an amateur designer.
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to Q&A
It would be kind of pointless. Not all tweeks, mods, hacks, themes, ROM's or even apps are compatible from device to device.
But the store can recognize the device and show the appropriate mods to that device! Just like market place
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
The marketplace does not recognize the device, it just recognizes what the device is not. So creating an app that has to recognize every android device, or compiling every mod and setting it up to only recognize a single, or a few devices would take ALOT of work. The rate in which tweaks, mods and phones come out, it would turn into more than a full time job.

As you read this I am creating a cydia app for android. In starting of for only the Galaxy S as this is the phone I own but if you want me to include another device just leave a comment

I am somewhat familiar with cydia for my iPod touch. I am brand new to Android and have been looking for something like it.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with...hopefully it will work for my Android version of the iPod touch - the Galaxy S WiFi 4.0.

Can you do froyo devices?
The closest thing i can think of that is similar to what your looking for is rom manager. Its free in the market and there's a paid key you can download from the market as well to unlock advanced features. This will detect the phone that you have and you can download CWM, roms, kernals, and themes as well as back and restore nandroids. The only thing this cant do is download free paid apps (warez). If you want to find these there are numerous sites. Google is your friend. Though i don't recommend this because developers deserve to be paid for there hard work. Hope this helps!!!!!
My progress of the project is in the i9000 apps and games section somewhere. How it will work is (the app downloads the rom in a zip and you boot into recovery and do the rest manually, now I know that seems stupid but this means tweaks can run on any device and firmware) PM me if you want the upcoming alpha version. thanks. Btw I'm calling it twiny!

I know its 2.3 and I have experience with this software as well as 3.0, but i dont know how to get HC or ICS on it but I belive it to be possable. Right now it has GB. It would be nice to have some help. Thanks!

Slatedroid.com has a pretty active pandigital Modding community. They don't currently have a specific section for the star, but if you search for it you'll find discussion of the device and there are tools there made for similar pandigital devices that seem to work on the star. Good luck!
Thanks for the help both of you and yes I like it very much. And I am a developer and not at all new to android systems. Also I didnt expect anyone to be working on it at all even I was just asking.

[Q] The Nexus 9 is great, but...

...it seems like none of the hacking tools I used on the N7 are working on the N9?
GameCIH, SB Gamehacker, GameKiller, Freedom, ... nothing works on my rooted N9.
Are there any tools out there, that are working on the N9? I guess that the tools that I've listed above simply aren't available for 64bit processors?
Cheers,
S.

Nowhere do I see a rule disallowing them http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 Lucky Patcher isn't allowed for obvious reasons, but these apps simply modify data in apps that you have (hopefully) legally acquired. It's sad that they don't work, because you can do some fun stuff with them, not just cheat to get a few imaginary points in some game.
