Wanting Android apps on your PlayBook? Or Beta apps like the AngryBirds? This only works on old non 2.0 Beta OS users running 1.6.
Below are some handy steps (and quick download links) for installing Android on your PlayBook. Its pretty quick and takes about 10 minutes if nothing goes wrong. My instructions are a little bit different than everyone else, but thats because I ran into three problems during the setup. By following these steps you should be a-0-k with minimal effort. In addition, as a disclaimer, if something goes wrong… well your stuck googling it to find an answer because this is not RIM recommended or approved.
Before all else – Backup your BBPB.
Installation:
Java Development Kit
Step 1 – Download and install the appropriate JDK below
> Download: 32bit
> Download: 64bit
Side-Loader Application, this will let you add APK’s and BAR files
Step 2 – Install the DDPB Installer 1.0.0 (no dos commands today folks)
> Download: DDPB Installer.msi
Step 3 – Update to the later release by using the DDPB Installer 1.0.7
> Download: DDPB Installer1.0.7.msi
Note: Some people can install right to the 1.0.7 version. However, I’ve seen at least one system not work on that release.
Also Note: When you run the app, it will warn twice that files are missing – THATS ok press continue. If it says Java missing, file will exit however – that means the JDK isn’t being detected and the file wont reach the PlayBook.
Installing the Android Emulator
Step 4 – Download the following file and use the DDPB Installer to push it to your device
> Download: sys.android.bar
What can I install now?
Any APK’s you send to your device will appear only inside the Android Emulator. So, you need to make sure it is installed first. Also, if you do not live in North America, you cannot use the BlackBerry App Store. In that case you will need to find BAR files to install such as some of the ones I put below.
Note: Some of these are demo apps and not finished yet.
Test APK
> Download: com.netflix.mediaclient.1.3.apk
Note: This may or may not install. Try other APK’s, I found a bunch that worked this one didn’t for me.
Test BAR’s
> Download: AngryBirds.bar
> Download: AntairSudoku.bar
> Download: Compass.bar
> Download: FarmDefense.bar
> Download: GoogleMaps.bar
> Download: IslandMiniGolf.bar

i have os2.0.0.6149 (beta)and hope this will work… 😐
You can sideload the bars. Dont bother sideloading the android player – your os2 already has one and it would conflict with this one.
im confused which os do you need
You no longer want to sideload the Android Player. It only worked for earlier versions of OS1. Now a days you need to use the dev beta of OS2 – not recommended or wait until february :).
Thank you very much. I am going to test if it works on my BBP 🙂 nice job! I have a question, I managed to run DOS and turbo pascal to make programs but I am looking for app to be able to program in java or processing. Does anyone know program for this language which I could run under BB OS, Android or DOS? Regards, Ari
how do i upgrade to bb playbook os v2
thanks men it works really works thankssss
Hi it would be gr8 if you guys can develop a journal app with cloud integration and some tweaks on it to ad the weather and fb statuses then you can do entries in the journal and keep track of your life. I would also like a south African tipe plug on my BlackBerry charger these pesky adapters drive me nuts. I would also like a blackberry poshest design headphones with alliminium inserts the beats ons and also a wheel on the side of the passport to compensate for the width that can be scrolled up and down to select text and be pressed like a button to enter highlighted area and also a dedicated dictaphone style button to make voice notes to improve productivity as blackberry claim they promote. I really would like to see this
