Even that is super easy now - How to sideload Snap without any hassle using Snap Installer - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

No technical knowhow required. Basically plug and play and you're set to go and download apps as you would on any Android device.

Caveat- not every Google Play store app works. Play services framework isn't functional on the device, but the majority of apps I've used work without any issue.

For those who don't know, once you install the Snap app, it basically works as an android app world. Im running so many android apps now, I cant imagine what Im missing out on.


You know, for a company that has supposed to have been going under for the last 3 years, in the 1 year I've had my Z10, there have been like 6 major software updates and 10.2.1 and 10.3.0 when it comes, is a very good OS. 10.0.0 was definitely a turd by comparison, but things are very smooth and feature rich now.

I've got a good feeling about BB going forward, no doubt they seriously tanked, but Im sure they have bottomed out and have positioned themselves well for a turn around in late 14/15. The next round of premium hardware (q20/30 and z50?) are going to get some attention. They wont top apple or android in popularity, but the products they offer work fantastic for me. Glad I stuck around.

I got the Z30 and gave my SO the Nexus 5 and after a day of using it , she said wow android sucks to communicate on and i told her the same thing when i bought the Nexus 5.

Blackberry 10 is the best OS to do business and communicate on hands down , no competition. Everything feels like its already open and you dont have to open an app to reply to anyone that has send you a message.

Agree for the most part. Except that searching for old emails is a pain in the ass on BB OS. I always end up having to pull open the browser and go to www.gmail.com to do a search. Grinds my gears.

To get forever sync time frame for Gmail, you have to delete and re-add your gmail account on the device.

Then follow these steps:

Settings -> Accounts -> Add account -> Advanced -> gmail -> initial retrieval amount -> select forever



You owe me lunch

What?! No way!!

Setting this will sync emails all the way back from 10+ years ago? Or does it still only receive new emails, but hang onto emails forever?

So although I've never found that I really needed more apps I'll give sideloading some stuff a chance - what are the apps you guys are actually sideloading that fill a need/work better than the bb versions?

@brianrietta, I haven't side loaded any apps because I either found better or it is already there.

i agree with you guys about bb 10. The problem is, which i hope they solve real soon, getting a phone into peoples hands so that they can see how good it really is. Until they can do that, they won't really regain the non-business market again. I love my z10 and q10, wouldn't change them for an iphone or samsung.

Yeah but I would wait, if you like the bigger screen , in 2015 q30 with 4.5 inch.

He wants people to know that the q20 will be called "the classic"

I just read how he wants it to be referred as "classic" I personally think it sounds better. Oh man tough call, Z30 now and wait out for the "Q30" ??
