This is weird can't get the hub to work on my Nexus 6 running MM but it works without any problems on my Nexus 9 running MM.

On my N6 as soon as I open the hub it tells me to install BlackBerry services. Funny part is that untouched BlackBerry services and resources are present in the system/app. Permissions are correct.

Any ideas?

Where to paste keyboard and contacts apks?

system/app or system/priv app??

Keyboard is not working.. Force closes when i choose it in language and keyboard settings cm12.1 lgg3

Edit: and calendar too.. please guide for paste location only
[BlackBerry Priv] Menthe11:
I'am also interested in this. Hub displays calendar entries from ms exchange adress, but not mails.

(p.s. working on nexus 4 - cm12.1 - android 5.1.1)
[BlackBerry Priv] howarmat:

[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Not sure if you have the wrong APK for the keyboard, here's the correct APK.
[BlackBerry Priv] minhas729:
Thnks :)

I was using untouched apk from mega link

Where to put it? Or simple apk install nowhere to put specifically

Contacts and calendar?

Where to paste? App or priv app?

I got launcher and hub working by pasting in system/app and making permissions
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Keyboard is a simple install. The contacts and calendar, I didn't really help porting that, but you can follow this guide to get them working.
[BlackBerry Priv] Humu Toor:

[BlackBerry Priv] Mecca EL:
The ANT HAL Services apk are the files you need to install to get the Camera app to work.

I would NOT suggest anyone doing that, because this will overwrite your devices HAL. Seeing that the BB Camera app was specifically intended to be use with the Priv camera, installing this one THIS WAY is purposeless.

BUT, for those hardheaded enough to soldier on, let us know what happens. Fail or Succeed, at least we'll know.
[BlackBerry Priv] shmykelsa:

[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Just another random update/notification.

Please note that these apps are ripped from the BlackBerry Priv, they don't support BlackBerry financially in any way at all. If a specific APK doesn't work for you, or you want to show some love to BlackBerry, buy a Priv. BlackBerry reserves any and all rights to have the sharing of their apps completely removed.
[BlackBerry Priv] smartbuddy:
Agreed, I hope one day BB will list their apps for all even if they are paid apps, I would surely buy it.

But buying an BB powered by Android like Priv at that cost, no chance.
[BlackBerry Priv] rgshah3:
Lol their own keyboard can't predict priv
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
Same, if BlackBerry listed these apps for $20 an app, I would even buy it. The keyboard is really well made (despite it being half-and-half SwiftKey), I gave Google Keyboard up the day I could get this keyboard.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Been seeing that this thread has been gaining popularity on other sites such us CrackBerry and some blogs. Some people seem to misunderstand what hacking means and that it could potentially give BlackBerry some bad rep.

The BlackBerry Priv has NOT been hacked with all these APKs. Using a file manager like ES File Explorer allows you to backup, and export (without root) APK files from the OS itself, extremely simple and can't really be avoided by the way Android is "made". Once the apps were extracted, we got a hold of them, and changed a line or two in the main XML files, repackaged them, and then put them up for download. It's a simple thing to do, it's not rocket science. I know I've been b*tching and moaning about how using these apps aren't supporting BlackBerry, but it is true, BlackBerry made a really cool phone here, and is banking on that to get them financially stable again, and to actually start seeing a good profit.

TL;DR: it's easy to export an app and just repackage it to work on other phones. BlackBerry is doing a great job at using Android, support them in this endeavour by either buying a Priv, or sharing good news about them.

Edit: This just got featured on PhoneArena! :D (or rather the other thread)
[BlackBerry Priv] UltimaXtreme:
[YOUTUBE]25_N4uRmtf4[/YOUTUBE]

We've not heard more about it since March, but BlackBerry certainly has intentions to share their software suite with the rest of the Android (and even iOS) community. Maybe they're waiting to see how the software stacks up from the opinion of Priv users before pulling away the curtains and letting us revel in it.

I already have a Galaxy SIII on the way which I'll be rooting for a 5.1.1 ROM. I absolutely loved the BlackBerry Z10 for the short time I used it (although it had issues I didn't intend on, like the microphone being glitchy, and my not getting good T-Mobile service at home), so it's optimal to buy a device made around the same time and get it to where I can run these APKs.

What all is offered on the Priv, anyway? I am currently supplementing Remember for GTasks, but it honestly doesn't match the power and capability that Remember had. I keep hearing mentions of the Password Keeper, but I have enough difficulty remembering all of my passwords without an app managing it for me. I've heard plenty about the Hub, which was one of the many awesome features of the BB10 devices.

At least, I'm definitely grabbing the keyboard. BB Keyboard is literally one of the best on-screen keyboards I've ever had access to, and I will gladly drop Google Keyboard for the privilege of it.
[BlackBerry Priv] Mecca EL:
There you are! How've you been man? Also, the VKB doesn't like you! :p

I've already deleted Google calendar, contacts, keyboard.

Does the launcher work perfectly for anyone else?

I installed services and the launcher the other day but it doesn't look like the launcher on the priv which let's one swap quickly between different apps in the notification tray.

Screenshot of my notifications tray that doesn't look like the priv. Although my home screen definitely has the BlackBerry launcher.

What's the deal ??

This is what the tray should look like per the priv review on CB. http://crackberry.com/sites/crackbe.../2015/11/Priv-Notifications.jpg?itok=aiLEG49L
[BlackBerry Priv] TowersVault:
If I'm not wrong, launchers usually can't change the way the notification tray looks. I'll check with anyone that has a Priv if they can source the tray's app switcher.

aw apparently I'm not an old timer QQ

All good, ya, it's good to see them around here nevertheless :P
[BlackBerry Priv] rolltide78:
Did you put them each in their own subfolders or just in the root of /system/app ? Did you also then install the other apks outside of system apps or drop them there as well? I've tried pasting those 3 apks in /system/app on my 6.0 nexus 5 but hub is the only thing installed after a reboot and when you click the icon it says you need to install Services. Kind of confused what to try next.
[BlackBerry Priv] xtremez:

Will there be an issue in size? I'm curious if things like the Hub will struggle on a Galaxy S3. Likely to use a higher DPI anyway, but it would help to know.

I heard that the BB keyboard (as other apps) where updated, with the support to use up to 3 languages at the same time and new languages where also added. Also, there is now a predictive emoticon feature. Can anyone work to port this updated version?

Have you had any success with this? I was able to get most of working on my 6P except for the productivity hub. The keyboard autocorrelation seems to only work with some applications though , I'm not sure why. I was getting "unfortunately blackberry services has stopped" error, but that seems to have calmed down a little after uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher and clearing the cache and reinstalling .
[BlackBerry Priv] shmykelsa:

As productivity edge, you need root and a little tweak with SQLite Editor, as stated before on this thread

Following this thread now as well, hopefully it isn't hardware locked, I'll snoop around in the APK to see what I can find.

Edit: Going to do the keyboard first, since it looks like that's what's on everyone's minds. Keyboard seems to be a rehashed version of SwiftKey, still snooping around, might have to decompile the APK and recompile later, will post updates if I have anything. Hopefully this is easier than I think it is. :I

Edit 2: Internet is acting all potato, still getting the source code, found "<uses-library android:name="com.blackberry.only" android:required="true"/>", going to try disabling that, but chances are that's keeping us from installing the APK.

Unfortunately no, I'm missing some .XML files, they're not in the APK at all either. At the moment I'm insanely tired, and it's late where I am, gonna continue for a bit now, otherwise tomorrow morning. I have a feeling there's some resources on the Priv itself which stops me from actually patching it, or knowing what it should be patched with.

TL;DR: missing stuff, probably Priv-only stuff, can't get the APK running, going to go to bed instead before I die in front of my desk.

Oh yeah, and sorry for no recent update, I've been busy with other stuff, however a majority of the APK's have been decompiled. As soon as I get home, I'll try and port the BBRY Services APK over and see if there's any luck.
