Awesome thanks bro! I was disheartened trying to do this almost a year ago, and it looks like there are a few advancements with the Android Runtime. I appreciate the detailed video. Much appreciated!
Good job man!! Thank you for the detailed steps to install google services into my blackberry passport. Everything is now working perfect as if I have an android device. God bless you!
Blackberry OS 10 is an awesome operating system for mobile phones. I strongly recommend Blackberry CEO to keep updating and releasing newer versions of this operating system and as well as release new phones supporting this operating system. This OS10 technology should be supported and saved because of security features and must not be allowed to diminish and disappear with time.
security is a good point... maybe if people wake up, and realize how 80% of online tech+soft is based on (varying deggrees of) spying, then they'll start looking for something more private. I don't think people care too much. And again, a device is only as secure as the apps that are running on it.
thanks a lot for your informative video... its really helped me out... i done the steps on my black berry passport device what you have shown .....its working
I have a problem with the installation of the .apk files I downloaded from Cobalt's site. It does not matter which one I would like to install it says: "You don't have enough storage space avaible to install this app. Delete files or apps and try again" But I do have enough storage space, so I do not really understand the why it does not work. I am using the same release as used in the video, but I could not download the android runtime update, because it was removed from the mentioned article. Could somebody help me?
hello I got a new blackberry passport:) I am looking to follow your guide. My question is do I need to add my emails and social networking accounts before following this or afterward?
the playstore app from cobalt suddenly stop working today, did you experience the same problem aswell? i tried reinstalling all cobalt google apps but it ddnt help me fix it.do you know how to fix it? thanks
Have installed all the files but still google play is Version 6.0.0. Wonder if the newer one solves Whatsapp photo sharing issue or any other improvements. And thanks for the video @The NewsReel
I had successfully installed Play store on my Passport but Google acct login screen would not log in saying play services is not supported on my phone. Duhh... Gmail App would not work because it said the same.
How do Android office apps like mobisystems office (/pro) work, Cite this for me, or (for me important) Studienbibel? How do a. office apps work that need to use the camera, like Camscanner, Textfee or Mobile Doc scanner? How about reminder apps like Life Strategy, Do it tomorrow, or Taskhammer?
Aaron Clark okay, thanks. I'm still waiting for my blackberry silver to be shipped to South Africa, this phone is the best n I hope blackberry will never give up on bb os 10.
I recently bought Blackberry passport and installed. everything perfectly installed but as soon as i start to download an app from google playstore, it will crash and reports "Unfortunately, google playstore has stopped. Please help me out
Hello The NewsReel, pls I need your help. I had a problem with my BB Z30, as it was so slow and lagging terribly, and soon after the Google play store also stopped working. Being unhappy, I did a device swipe and cleared everything on the phone after a back up and after reinstallation, Google play store as well as BB Viber apps have stopped working till date. Please how do I overcome these problems and get Google play store and Viber App working again on my BB Z30? Every time, I try to reinstall Viber it always never concluded also even after reinstalling Google play store it still doesn't work . I have installed the Android Runtime, but the Google Play Store that I uninstalled and tried installing again is still NOT reinstalling again. it keeps telling me : unable to install this app. Please help me
+Okokon Ntia a few people have been commenting about not being able to get the Google Play Store installed. Cobalt the developer recently updated his instructions and some of the apks a few days ago.

Hello guys ! I have BB Passport OS 10.3.3.746 , Ițve installed Cobalt's Google Play like in video , all good but when I want to open an app like Facebook or TH-cam it's said " Google Play Services - Youyube relies on Google Play services , which is not supported by your device. Contact the manufacturer for assistance. ". How to resolve this error ?
+Marius Mateoi There's another step with varied results. In other words, it can work or it may not work. That step is called "Patching". I left information and links to articles on the video description. If and when I get the time to do a video on this, I will post it to my channel. Until then, I recommend the steps laid out on the articles I link above. The article should also contain a patched version of TH-cam.
+Marius Mateoi You can downgrade your OS using the BlackBerry Link software on your desktop or by obtaining an Auto loader from Blackberry or the CrackBerry forums. That won't resolve your Android app issue though, if that's what you're trying to do. The Android runtime is updated differently. And to downgrade or upgrade the Android runtime, well, that's a more complicated task.
So if I buy a Blackberry Classic, I could get apps like snapchat and instagram? Would snap recognize it as a third party app? I'm guessing get not if it's run through google play
Snap does not work. This Play Store is one of the best ways to get Android apps on BB10, but that doesn't guarantee full compatibility. Another step is required but even then not guaranteed to work: Patching. th-cam.com/video/tS3uYPpCHeM/w-d-xo.html&feature=iv&src_vid=rcj9xJR4C1o&annotation_id=video%3A0fcaab7d-9162-49b8-b49b-28283dff6c90
Hi,I was wondering if you could answer my question! When you install Play store on Passport is it possible to download,install and run HERE maps on the device? I am thinking of getting the device and this app is essential for me. Thanks!
+Dejan Stankovic I installed it on my Z10. App opens but closes seconds later. Maybe it performs differently on a Passport, but I don't have one on hand to test it
Hello Andres, I followed all the steps, but when I try to install the Play Store apk, the BB show me a message "Impossible to install the application", what can be?
Wow, I never heard of such an error message. What I can suggest is to see if someone else has run into this issue on the CrackBerry Forum: forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/google-play-store-blackberry-10-read-first-post-instructions-985344/
Please. Please helppppp. I just got a white blackberry passport with exact bb os you are running I followed your exact direction in this video. I can install Google play store apps but both apps I have tried says app won't run without Google play services . Apps I downloaded are youtube and direct tv app both say some thing. Have tried to get these two apps to work for hrs unistalling and installing pleaseee help!!!!!

hi apk apps still saying google play services not installed but I did have it, some apk from playstore works some don't what should I do to update my Google play services? thanks
i can install the apps but what about opening it?? It isnt opening in my phone !!! I have Blackberry classic Q20 running on blackberry OS 10.3.3.1435. Can anyone please help me
and when i downloaded youtube it says that google play services missing why so bro?? but first tell me how to transfer them>> i downloaded these 4 apps from another site but i want to copy yours help mee
+sadbhav kkashyap to transfer the apps to your SD card, connect your phone to your computer. Your phone should ask if you want to use your phone as "mass storage". Hit yes. The SD card should then appear on your PC. Transfer them from your PC to SD card. Some apps will say you need Google services even after following all the instructions. In the video description you'll find a link to "Android Apk Patching". Watch that one to see why. Go to the CrackBerry forums page I left links for in the video description to find a "patched" version of TH-cam. That one should work without problems.
How to transfer no options comes by clicking right click on mega explain me in detail bro from begining from downloading which we have to choose there r several ways cloud drive etc. Explain from here and I have tp download on my comp den trnsfer on mobile
i installed all the apks and i still have problems with installing apps from playstore like instagram and facebook. They install but dont work. Get stuck on the sign in page
Hi, great vid, Except I cant download cobalts apps to my Passport. Each time I try to it says "File cannot be opend in your mobile browser" The other option is to open with MEGAs App which i try and it wont dont load the app so cant open that to Help Thanks in advance Simon
+Simon Buckeridge recommend to download it directly to your micro SD card via computer then transfer to your BB. There's a link on the video description to Cobalt's CrackBerry page to troubleshoot if you run into further issues. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for your help. I found in the end the only way was to down load to my laptop and bluetooth each file to my BB passport. However the google setting does not allow me to log into google with my current google acc details, it is not accepting them and keeps looping back to the login page. Hence I can not use playstore because it does not accept my logg in details.. Suggestions pls Cheers
Hello guys. I'm using Blackberry Passport in China and trying to sign in google account manager, but unfortunately, google is blocked in China. So I need any suggestion on using VPN. I already tried many VPNs but they ask trusting the application and when I trust the application it does not connects. Is anyone know how to setup a new vpn setting in Network and Connection option. If anyone of you have a solution, contact me as soon as possible.
I can get a new BB Passport for 241€. A lot of people strongly advised me against that, because they told me that BB10 is going to die soon and that Priv is much better. What do you guys think? Is a BB Passport still worthy today?
I use my Passport for business and love it. Extremely well made with a stainless steel frame, and very elegant looking. Perfect for working with any type of documents. Great camera also. I bought 2 spares in case they stop making these ( $329 in Canada on Blackberry site, about 196 British Pounds today). Note also that the OEM hard shell case is awesome if you are considering one. Good protection and still shows off the steel beauty of the phone.I have dropped mine twice on concrete, which hardly scratced the case and he phone came out unscathed on both occassions. The BB10 OS is super reliable too (hence the use of BB10 parent QNX in nuclear power plants).
I don't know if you have already made your decision, but bb10 in my opinion is the best mobile platform out there. Very easy and reliable to use, but I felt forced to go to Android priv because a couple apps that are essential for me was lacking (or going to be) support. What's app for me is an essential due to the fact I keep contact with all my family overseas, and they don't use BBM.. I've been cursing the name of BlackBerry every since I've switched.. seeking a file manager to do tasks that were simple on bb10.. sorry for my rant, but the transition to Android has me asking why should I even stay with BlackBerry if I can get most of the Android functionality with Samsung.. if bb10 found a way to incorporate playstore out of the box I'd go back in a heart beat.. so yes the passport is an awesome device, but there are disadvantages due to the app eco system. My opinion on Android is my own. Many love it.. I just don't like change.. sorry I wrote you a book. Lol.
+MiSS JeaNiuS interesting issue. All I did was to double check my settings in the BlackBerry Browser to keep desktop mode off. I then went to the CrackBerry page through the browser, click on the link in the article then it opened BlackBerry App World
Hi. No. It's still not working. My Wawa app doesn't work. amongst other apps. but some apps still work just fine. I do not know what to do. I did see this video, but none of the links are working.
I am getting so aggravated with this phone. Last week, it was fine. Now my google play store doesn't even recognize my phone. Only think I can think of is something updated, either the wawa app or Google Play. I am not sure where to go for the correct information. Even that Aptoide store can't download google play services. Another waste of time.
+MiSS JeaNiuS I been hearing other users the past week also having issues with links and apps. I wonder if Google Services broke something with an update. Hmm If you need to check that your runtime is running the latest version, here's the link I pulled from my BB 10: appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/39879918
you can open that link in the private browser...just tap the icon on the bottom left of the BB browser and tap private browsing then put the link there and it should work
hi guys, these days i just got blackberry(silver edition) again. im now using note 5, but can not quit from passport. Does anyone know how to use airwatch agent for email usage on blackberry passport? i would appreciate a lot if you help. thnx
Thank you!!!!! I've gone BlackBerry priv because of the few apps I use lacking support.. my personal experience has made me hate BlackBerry Android.. ughhh! Having to research and find a file manager just to make transferring files/pics easier to a SD card isn't getting things done. If BlackBerry could have playstore running out of the box on bb10 I'd run back instantly! Even as I type I use my old Z30 while I push the priv to the side like a unwanted stepchild. Lol... so thank you for this info, and i'll experiment with it on my old z10.. is there a reason BlackBerry can't work on playstore for bb10? Legal issues, trade secrets, proprietary software issues????? Thank you again for the video and the work done by cobalt..
Not sure what could have gone wrong, but I've noticed others mentioning the same issue. The Developer Cobalt of the app updates his services and posts the logs and instructions here: forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/cobalts-official-google-apps-landing-page-965257/ and here: forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/google-play-store-blackberry-10-read-first-post-instructions-985344/
I managed to install and get the playstore working. I just tried changing the order. I first installed the google manager and then the google play services, blackberry id. . But I am unable to login via google manager but i can use the playstore properly. Please share this info. It can help people solve their problem... I found this successful on my BB Passport. I have installed the android runtime update even though I was running only 10.3.2836 just to be on positive side.

Hello. There's so many different things that can affect the Cobalt apps. I put all the self-help links in this video: th-cam.com/video/J_hQ9MtYGsg/w-d-xo.html
I want to thank you first about unloaded this tutorial, but I still got some problems. I've followed your steps for installing Google services, I am able to download the apps, but all the apps from play store were not able to access, they just stuck on the log in page. Could you please help me with that? Appreciate that!
+Liu Yawei please refer to the video description for more information and links to support pages. Not all apps can or will work especially since the Android runtime on BB10 is very old now.
Last ditch effort to try and get this to work. Ive tried twice to install and im able to get the playstore working. When I install hangouts and run it, I get a google services not being detected error each time. What am i doing wrong. Im following the firing order from the crackberry page by colbalt. I did log into google during the install process. Do i need to wait till the very end?
+Ruchik Vaidya There's another step with varied results. In other words, it can work or it may not work. That step is called "Patching".

The next step is called patching, but you'll most likely be disappointed to know those apps will not run on the BB run time: th-cam.com/video/tS3uYPpCHeM/w-d-xo.html

Help me out with Facebook and massenger...Its not working Worked once or twice but than its gone rough... Anyone useing these apps on passport?? Link pls
Aaron Rooney if you can find my post on CrackBerry.Com it has all the information on there. it's Snapchat version 9.9 Apk, You have to have a brand new account and never log out of it. if you have an account now you'll have to forget about it because forsome reason you can't use a preexisting account. I have no clue why.
Excellent question and one that has mixed results. I didn't go over "patching" the apps. That's one way to "fix" problems with TH-cam apps and the like. Snapchat has been hit or miss. There is a patched version of TH-cam you can download here: forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/cobalts-official-google-apps-landing-page-965257/#post10933307 Information about patching and tools to patch apps can be found here: forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/how-patch-android-apps-depending-google-maps-google-play-services-914930/
+iwaheedinpro some apps need proper Google Services to run. Other apps won't run at all like SnapChat. Here's part two to the walkthrough. You can can find troubleshooting articles on the both video descriptions as well. th-cam.com/video/tS3uYPpCHeM/w-d-xo.html
The NewsReel WONT BE updated!? That fuxxor Chen dude said that his company is now gonna focus on software to improve the user experience. But since then no updates for OS10. And then there was some reason even though I didn't update and disallowed update for the runtime OS, it updated anyway. Now my Waze is stuck being unupgradeable. Also there is an issue where my memory is full all the time for some reason. Even though I store NOTHING on my phone. I do love the phone. But there are mini bugs here and there like the gallery, if you zoom and move around you can't use the keyboard shortcuts until you move to the next pic. And there is that issue where there is no shift button so I can't drag select or select until or "select up to" for say about 100 photos. It drives me nuts.
Still using BB10 in 2019? Cobalt Play Store not working? Try this app store: th-cam.com/video/RPkRw5bfh5c/w-d-xo.html&t=

+sadbhav kkashyap to transfer the apps to your SD card, connect your phone to your computer. Your phone should ask if you want to use your phone as "mass storage". Hit yes. The SD card should then appear on your PC. Transfer them from your PC to SD card.
Some apps will say you need Google services even after following all the instructions. In the video description you'll find a link to "Android Apk Patching". Watch that one to see why.
Go to the CrackBerry forums page I left links for in the video description to find a "patched" version of TH-cam. That one should work without problems.
How to transfer no options comes by clicking right click on mega explain me in detail bro from begining from downloading which we have to choose there r several ways cloud drive etc. Explain from here and I have tp download on my comp den trnsfer on mobile
i installed all the apks and i still have problems with installing apps from playstore like instagram and facebook. They install but dont work. Get stuck on the sign in page
+Jason Rims those apps are blocked by the developers... Some workarounds exist, but the apps keep updating breaking functionality
has anyone tried using an alternative camera app from google play just to see if its better than the stock one?
i'm on 10.3.2.2639 can i install this on my passport???
Hi, great vid,

Each time I try to it says "File cannot be opend in your mobile browser"

Help
Thanks in advance
Simon
+Simon Buckeridge recommend to download it directly to your micro SD card via computer then transfer to your BB. There's a link on the video description to Cobalt's CrackBerry page to troubleshoot if you run into further issues. Hope this helps!
Hi, thanks for your help.
I found in the end the only way was to down load to my laptop and bluetooth each file to my BB passport.
However the google setting does not allow me to log into google with my current google acc details, it is not accepting them and keeps looping back to the login page. Hence I can not use playstore because it does not accept my logg in details..
Suggestions pls
Cheers
Hello guys. I'm using Blackberry Passport in China and trying to sign in google account manager, but unfortunately, google is blocked in China. So I need any suggestion on using VPN. I already tried many VPNs but they ask trusting the application and when I trust the application it does not connects. Is anyone know how to setup a new vpn setting in Network and Connection option. If anyone of you have a solution, contact me as soon as possible.
How about Facebook and Facebook messenger? Do they work ... ok?
I can get a new BB Passport for 241€. A lot of people strongly advised me against that, because they told me that BB10 is going to die soon and that Priv is much better. What do you guys think? Is a BB Passport still worthy today?
I use my Passport for business and love it. Extremely well made with a stainless steel frame, and very elegant looking. Perfect for working with any type of documents. Great camera also. I bought 2 spares in case they stop making these ( $329 in Canada on Blackberry site, about 196 British Pounds today). Note also that the OEM hard shell case is awesome if you are considering one. Good protection and still shows off the steel beauty of the phone.I have dropped mine twice on concrete, which hardly scratced the case and he phone came out unscathed on both occassions. The BB10 OS is super reliable too (hence the use of BB10 parent QNX in nuclear power plants).
the durability really is the best in phone since nokia
I don't know if you have already made your decision, but bb10 in my opinion is the best mobile platform out there. Very easy and reliable to use, but I felt forced to go to Android priv because a couple apps that are essential for me was lacking (or going to be) support. What's app for me is an essential due to the fact I keep contact with all my family overseas, and they don't use BBM.. I've been cursing the name of BlackBerry every since I've switched.. seeking a file manager to do tasks that were simple on bb10.. sorry for my rant, but the transition to Android has me asking why should I even stay with BlackBerry if I can get most of the Android functionality with Samsung.. if bb10 found a way to incorporate playstore out of the box I'd go back in a heart beat.. so yes the passport is an awesome device, but there are disadvantages due to the app eco system. My opinion on Android is my own. Many love it.. I just don't like change.. sorry I wrote you a book. Lol.
Hi. Can you help me? How do you get the links to open up from my phone? I do not have the browser in desktop mode, but it's not working.
+MiSS JeaNiuS interesting issue. All I did was to double check my settings in the BlackBerry Browser to keep desktop mode off. I then went to the CrackBerry page through the browser, click on the link in the article then it opened BlackBerry App World
Hi. No. It's still not working. My Wawa app doesn't work. amongst other apps. but some apps still work just fine. I do not know what to do. I did see this video, but none of the links are working.
I am getting so aggravated with this phone. Last week, it was fine. Now my google play store doesn't even recognize my phone. Only think I can think of is something updated, either the wawa app or Google Play. I am not sure where to go for the correct information. Even that Aptoide store can't download google play services. Another waste of time.
+MiSS JeaNiuS I been hearing other users the past week also having issues with links and apps. I wonder if Google Services broke something with an update. Hmm
If you need to check that your runtime is running the latest version, here's the link I pulled from my BB 10:
appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/39879918
you can open that link in the private browser...just tap the icon on the bottom left of the BB browser and tap private browsing then put the link there and it should work
when i register my device it says.
Check-in failed

Do you know if apps like epsxe or fpse, ppsspp etc. work on passport?
+raffaele fortunato I haven't tried these apps before on a passport and currently can't confirm if they run well.
hi guys, these days i just got blackberry(silver edition) again. im now using note 5, but can not quit from passport. Does anyone know how to use airwatch agent for email usage on blackberry passport? i would appreciate a lot if you help. thnx
Thank you!!!!! I've gone BlackBerry priv because of the few apps I use lacking support.. my personal experience has made me hate BlackBerry Android.. ughhh! Having to research and find a file manager just to make transferring files/pics easier to a SD card isn't getting things done. If BlackBerry could have playstore running out of the box on bb10 I'd run back instantly! Even as I type I use my old Z30 while I push the priv to the side like a unwanted stepchild. Lol... so thank you for this info, and i'll experiment with it on my old z10.. is there a reason BlackBerry can't work on playstore for bb10? Legal issues, trade secrets, proprietary software issues????? Thank you again for the video and the work done by cobalt..
I have downloaded the same files but the google manager isn't getting installed on my device.. please help
Not sure what could have gone wrong, but I've noticed others mentioning the same issue. The Developer Cobalt of the app updates his services and posts the logs and instructions here: forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/cobalts-official-google-apps-landing-page-965257/
and here:
forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/google-play-store-blackberry-10-read-first-post-instructions-985344/
I managed to install and get the playstore working. I just tried changing the order. I first installed the google manager and then the google play services, blackberry id. . But I am unable to login via google manager but i can use the playstore properly. Please share this info. It can help people solve their problem... I found this successful on my BB Passport. I have installed the android runtime update even though I was running only 10.3.2836 just to be on positive side.
comon man ! i followed up for so long and all it says for google services cant be supported

please help me.. i can't install google manager.."unable to install this app"
im using q5 10.3.2.2836
Same here😂😂😂 but there is no response 🤪🤪
Hello. There's so many different things that can affect the Cobalt apps. I put all the self-help links in this video:
th-cam.com/video/J_hQ9MtYGsg/w-d-xo.html
I care alot about google maps. Should I be able to run it with out any problem? Buying a passport solely relies on the answer of this question
+Tom Is a Door I wish the answer were simple. Yes and no. Yes, you can run it. No, you won't have full functionality without Google Play Services.
Would I be able to run an android launcher on top of this?
I want to thank you first about unloaded this tutorial, but I still got some problems. I've followed your steps for installing Google services, I am able to download the apps, but all the apps from play store were not able to access, they just stuck on the log in page. Could you please help me with that? Appreciate that!
+Liu Yawei please refer to the video description for more information and links to support pages. Not all apps can or will work especially since the Android runtime on BB10 is very old now.
Last ditch effort to try and get this to work. Ive tried twice to install and im able to get the playstore working. When I install hangouts and run it, I get a google services not being detected error each time. What am i doing wrong. Im following the firing order from the crackberry page by colbalt. I did log into google during the install process. Do i need to wait till the very end?
+Ruchik Vaidya There's another step with varied results. In other words, it can work or it may not work. That step is called "Patching". I left information and links to articles on the video description. If and when I get the time to do a video on this, I will post it to my channel. Until then, I recommend the steps laid out on the articles I link above.
Hi.. i followed all the instructions but facebook, messenger and snapchat isn't working. Please help.. thank you..
The next step is called patching, but you'll most likely be disappointed to know those apps will not run on the BB run time: th-cam.com/video/tS3uYPpCHeM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you.. i'll try follow it through in my passport.. hopefully it'll work this time..
does this work on 10.3.3.1463
When I try to link to another device using Google play it won't work
+ace Jackson Cobalt the developer recently updated his instructions and some of the apks a few days ago. I suggest going here for more information: forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/google-play-store-blackberry-10-read-first-post-instructions-985344/
There's NO easy way to say this: I LOVE YOU and I wanna have your children... (but only for a day and they need to be house trained🤣😀😘) Thank you SO much for your direction! You made a process that I was terrified by, absolutely effortless! Thank you so much!

+Emmanuel Jamora This is my follow up video regarding that issue: th-cam.com/video/tS3uYPpCHeM/w-d-xo.html
Now am in........let's go bbm
is snapchat working...? please can u check n tell?
pankit gada Snapchat works for me, just don't log out once you log in and also you have to make a new account.
OK thank you aaron Clark..✌
pankit gada you bet, if you need any help I can do my best to help you
Aaron Clark, hey how did you mange to get get snapchat working?
Aaron Rooney if you can find my post on CrackBerry.Com it has all the information on there. it's Snapchat version 9.9 Apk, You have to have a brand new account and never log out of it. if you have an account now you'll have to forget about it because forsome reason you can't use a preexisting account. I have no clue why.
So apps like TH-cam and snapchat will work with this?
Excellent question and one that has mixed results. I didn't go over "patching" the apps. That's one way to "fix" problems with TH-cam apps and the like. Snapchat has been hit or miss.
There is a patched version of TH-cam you can download here:

The NewsReel thanks a lot brother God bless
it require google play service now
+iwaheedinpro some apps need proper Google Services to run. Other apps won't run at all like SnapChat. Here's part two to the walkthrough. You can can find troubleshooting articles on the both video descriptions as well.
th-cam.com/video/tS3uYPpCHeM/w-d-xo.html
thanks in advance sir
has the comment done??
Still Jelly Bean runtime?
Sadly, still on Android 4.3. It won't be updated beyond that ='(
If only Blackberry listens to their customers. BB10 OS with Marshmallow runtime would be awesome! But yeah..
The NewsReel WONT BE updated!? That fuxxor Chen dude said that his company is now gonna focus on software to improve the user experience. But since then no updates for OS10. And then there was some reason even though I didn't update and disallowed update for the runtime OS, it updated anyway. Now my Waze is stuck being unupgradeable. Also there is an issue where my memory is full all the time for some reason. Even though I store NOTHING on my phone.
I do love the phone. But there are mini bugs here and there like the gallery, if you zoom and move around you can't use the keyboard shortcuts until you move to the next pic. And there is that issue where there is no shift button so I can't drag select or select until or "select up to" for say about 100 photos. It drives me nuts.
They seriously update their OS at least for bug fixes. Been a BB fan but this is really disappointing. Smh
+thenewsreel i downloaded from comp
sry i forgot that we can reply also sry bro but please sort out my prob
can you download snapchat?
+vanpride64 Nope. Blocked by developer.
