Install Android Market on BlackBerry PlayBook [How-To]
We can say that BlackBerry PlayBook is a far-fetched device which has lots of great features and people like to have this tablet due to its specifications. But today I am going to present you a tutorial that how you can install Android Market on your BlackBerry PlayBook. But before I get started I’d like to give this post’s credit to Redmond Pie for this effort.
So, below you can see the easy to understand steps Note: follow all the steps at your own risk.
Step 1: Install PlayBook OS 2.0 Beta on your PlayBook [Official Website]
Step 2: Root your BlackBerry PlayBook with DingleBerry [Instructions].
Step 3: Download Google Apps [CyanogenMod Wiki].
Step 4: Package an Android app as a .bar file, install and launch it to set things up. Consider installing a launcher app since it will be required later on to actually launch Market. Get one from here [PlayBook BARS]
Step 5: Using WinSCP for Windows, log into your BlackBerry PlayBook as root. Copy the system folder from Google Apps in Step 3 to the root of your PlayBook’s storage and merge it with the PlayBook’s own system folder.
Step 6: Using a terminal with root access, enter the following commands:
mv /system/app/SetupWizard.apk /system/app/SetupWizard.apk.bak
Step 7: You must now kill the Android Player with:
cd /apps/sys.android.XXXX.ns/native/scripts
and then run ./android-player-cmd.sh kill-android-core.sh
The XXXX above is different for each device.
Step 8: Using a launcher from Step 4, launch Android Market and enter account details.
So, if you followed the steps properly, Android Market will now be installed and working on your BlackBerry PlayBook and don’t forget to leave your comments.

So, below you can see the easy to understand steps bull droppings maybe someone who knows where you are goin g this is simple but frankly when you leave out definitions of what is done on the tab and what is done on the computer it just adds to the complications created by you tech jargen where is a terminal with “root” access then while i have been all over the damn tab i have not found a way to explore files so how do i install one i have added “package” an android app thanks for that step by step. what is winscp? the overall thing is bullshit sorry for the language but i am literate in computers and followed this step by step just to get half way through and realize you instructions are severly lacking.
