How to install Android App Player and Android Apps to your Playbook using DDPB installer and BBH-Tool

For those of you who want to have fun with your Blackberry Playbook I've made a step by step guide on how to install Android app player.

Important: Android App will not work after the latest Playbook software update v.1.0.7.2942






Watch This Video
STEP 1 :
Download the Android App Player file (sys.android.bar)
DOWNLOAD LINKS
Mega Upload
Deposit Files
Hot File
File Serve


STEP 2 :
Make sure that you have Java Run-Time Environment Installed in your computer, If you already have it installed please skip this step. Most computers have this pre-installed.

If you don't have JRE installed Download Java Run Time

STEP 3 :
Download and install DDPB (Dau Den PlayBook Installer) this software helps us to install the Android app player from the Computer to your Playbook. Download DDPB Installer


STEP 4 :
Set your playbook in development mode :
Goto Playbook settings > Scroll down and select "Security" > Select "Development Mode" and turn it on, You will be asked to enter a password, make sure you remember this password (Very Important)

You will see the developer mode icon next to the orientation lock icon just below the top bezel. Select the icon which looks like a person, and make a note of your Playbook's IP address.





FINAL STEP :


Connect your Playbook to your computer using the USB cable or Wi-Fi, When DDPB is open it will ask you for the PlayBook IP address and Password Enter those information.

Then use the ADD option find "sys.android file" select it and then click install. Once the installation is complete you can disconnect your PB from the computer and also exit the developer mode.


Install Android Apps to Android App Player
Now that you've installed Android App Player lets install Android Apps into it.

STEP 1 :
Download and install BBH-Tool this will help us install android apps to android app player.
DOWNLOAD BBH TOOL HERE

STEP 2 :
Set your Playbook in development mode, for detailed information on how to do it refer Step 4 of How to install Android App Player.

STEP 3 :
Launch Android App Player in your Playbook and then connect it to your PC. This is important the android app player must be running in your playbook for you to install the .Apk files (Android Apps)

STEP 4 :
Download Android Apps to your computer. Download Android Apps for Free from these sites
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android
http://www.freeandroidware.com/
http://www.androiddownloadz.com/

For a list of working apps check List of working Android Apps

STEP 5 :
Launch BBH Tool -> Drag and Drop downloaded Android Apps -> Click Install

IMPORTANT : Not every Android app will work so you will have to keep searching for apps that work.

    I hope you've not updated your Playbook Software to v.1.0.7.2942, if you've updated then Android Player wont work.

    Its a simple issue actually which I myself came accross while installing Android Player, make sure you enter your playbook ip address and development mode password correctly into DDPB installer. This should do the trick.

    @Nas156 I feel Rim has released the new update so that it can kill the existing App Player, So right now there is nothing we can do about it in your case. Well there is a rumour that the app player will be officially released with software update 2.0, we are all waiting for it.

    Android App Player is not working after the latest Playbook software update v.1.0.7.2942. Go to software updates and check which software version is updated in your playbook.

    Is there a way to revert back to an earlier OS Version of the Playbook?

    I'm afraid there is no way we can revert back to an earlier OS version.

    when do you think the new version will be out to accomodate v.1.0.7.2942 ?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Mr Green23 September 2011 at 21:43

    I don't think there will be an Android Player for v.1.0.7.2942 as the official Android Player is set to be launched by RIM after Dev Con i.e, October 20th. So we can expect software version 2.0 and the Android Player in October.

    If you are running 64-bit windows, you will need to download 64-bit JRE.

    Check your OS version if its 1.0.7.2942 or more it will not work.
    If you've got version 2.0 beta installed then you dont need this android player to run android apps.

    Hi there Android Player no longer exists, but there is a 2.0 version of playbook which was released for Android. This 2.0 version can play Android apps. But its not recommended for use but a lot of users have upgraded, some like it and others hate it. If you need more info just google "How to install OS 2.0 into PlayBook"

  19. Mr Green11 November 2011 at 03:56

    The 2.0 os version is only for Android developers to test their apps.

  27. Mr Green15 November 2011 at 04:19

    My friend OS 2.0 cant run bridge files as its not an official OS, this version is only for android app developers to test their apps. Some vital features have been turned off in this beta OS by RIM.

    K go to this http://playbookbars.com/ download which ever app you want. The downloaded android app will have an extention .bar instead of .apk. Now sideload the .bar file into ur playbook using an installer like DDPB.

      You can but you will have to root your PlayBook. The rooting software for the latest os is still not ready I guess so once that's out you can get android market :)

      They all have the rooted playbook, and have installed a honeycomb launcher. But trust me not apps work. If you test like 100 apps 1 might work,so I personally don't prefer android market. Just try playbookbars.com you get a list of working apps then just sideload them.
