It has always seemed impossible to download and install fully functional version of the original Google play store on Blackberry 10 Devices.

Well it is time to start installing fully functional applications from Google play store using the original version.











As a blogger, I have always wanted to blog on the go with my Blackberry Q10. But the blogger application on Amazon which is the only store I was using then was sold for $1. Not costly for the features I’ve asked for but I will still love to get the one I have been familiar with.

All Google ID needed applications including the Blogger application for android would not be installed on the blackberry 10, so I decided to go deep in research and here I am to share in full the result of my research, and make it easier for you all.

Disclaimer: This is modified/patched software. It is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Applied modifications: Rewrite of downloader code, rewrite of app installation/uninstallation code. Patch to prevent GMS core updates. Patch to prevent self update and a lot of Blackberry specific fixes. The purchasing part is UNTOUCHED.


Please read the full post, including the FAQ, before installing anything.

HERE ARE SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)



Does this work on any device?

Play Store works on any Blackberry device running OS 10.3 or better. OS 10.2.x is not supported.

I can't login with Google Account Manager
Assuming that you have entered the correct password, you now have the following options:

1) Turn OFF 2-Step Verification for your Google account here: https://myaccount.google.com/security#signin.
OR
2) create an app specific password and use that password to login.

Play Store is displaying "Error while retrieving information from server [DF-XXYYZZ]"
To fix this problem, go through all of the following steps:

1) Close Play Store
2) Go to Blackberry Settings -> App Manager -> Device Monitor -> Storage -> Play Store and hit "Clear Data"
3) Run Blackberry Google ID and unregister the device
4) In Blackberry Google ID tap on your email address -> select your account -> remove the account in top right menu.
5) Back on main screen of Blackberry Google ID hit checkin and follow the instructions

Play Store doesn't display previously installed or purchased apps in "My Apps" section
Close Play Store, then go to Blackberry Settings -> App Manager -> Device Monitor -> Storage -> Play Store and hit "Clear Data". In general, app data must always be cleared if you update the Blackberry Google ID app or if you do a re-checkin. This is required to update the locally cached ID with the new ID on the Server.

Play Store is randomly popping up and wants to install updates for my apps
if this happens, you have turned on automatic app updates in Play Store settings. To turn them off, go to
Play Store settings -> Automatic app updates and disable updates. You will still receive notifications in the hub if updates are available, but they won't automatically download.

I downloaded an app from Play Store and now it's asking for Google Play Services
Google Play services is a Framework that is provided by Google to help developers to speed up and simplify app development. Some apps that you download from Play Store may require Google Play services (mostly apps from Google, apps that display some kind of geographic map and apps that require Google+ login). These apps can be patched and will work to a certain extent. Read this post for more details:

Are you logging my account data or stealing my money?
I believe that I have quite a reputation here on AndroidCare.Net and I don't want to lose it, so NO data is logged or transferred anywhere else than to the Google servers. Your data and your money are secure.

Is this all for free?
Yes, it is! But please consider that I've spent hundreds of hours doing the reverse engineering of all this stuff, patching it, rewriting code and testing it. So if you really appreciate my work, I would be happy if you donate a few bucks. But it's up to you.
