You Upgraded to OS 10.2.1 and want to run Android Apps on Your BB10? Install Snap to Your Device!

If you've upgraded to OS 10.2.1.x on your BB10 device you can now install any free Android app directly to your BB10 smartphone directly without any special converting and without the need to connect to your PC.  This opens up BB10 to the thousands of Android apps available in the Google Play store.  However, you need an app to quickly search for and install these Android apps. 
The best app available so far is called Snap.  Unfortunately, Snap can't be installed directly to the device since it's a native BlackBerry app and is not yet available in the BlackBerry App Store.  However, it can be quickly loaded to your BB10 device using your PC.
Here is a quick and easy way of installing Snap on your BB10 device using your PC.  Once Snap is installed on your device you won't need your computer to install Android apps on your device!
1.   Download Sachesi for your computer Platform, i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux (Don't download the Sachesi bar file for BlackBerry or the apk file for Android)
Sachesi
2.  Download Snap from here:
Snap
3.  Connect your BB with the USB cable.
4.  Double click on the Sachesi app you downloaded. 
5.  When it opens, click the "Install" tab. (If your device requires a password enter it here.)
6.  Drag the Snap bar filed you downloaded in step 2 into the box under the install tab.  As soon as you drop the file it will load to the device. 
7.  That's it!  You can disconnect your device and enjoy direct downloading of Android apps on your BB10 device by opening Snap and using your Google Account. 
Note:  Not all Android apps will run on the BB10 and, occasionally, an app will not work quite as expected.  However, the vast majority do run normally.

Hello John_Clark  Excellent contribution. Valuable information for all who want to upgrade and not wait until the update is releasedby our operator. It would also make a good listing of operators which has released 10.2.1 
And which have not yet released. Regards.

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

    I have the following system and want to run Elements12 or 13 efficiently; Vista Home Premium 32bit, Intel core 2duo [email protected], 3 GB RAM DDR2, Mobo MSI MS-7267 and on-board graphics chipset. I tried to run Elements9 and was rather slow so you can imagine Elements12 or 13..... Do I have to change the whole system or just buy a suitable VGA card? Which card would be OK for this system? Thanx..

    I think that the key here is going from a 32 bit to 64 bit computer operating system where Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 can become 64 bit application in a Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit computer operating system. The increased computer resources implication of that should increase the frequency of getting the larger project taken to a successful complete more than before. A lot of this has to do with multitasking potential.
    Premiere Elements does not support CUDA as seen in high end video cards/graphics cards. Since Premiere Elements 9, Premiere Elements has no GPU accelerated effects. But, I would decide on the best card for you based on overall computer rather than just for use in Premiere Elements. If you are interested in computer games, that will impact your card decision.
    The use of a non super NVIDIA or ATI card should work for you. But, I have used neither.
    I would consider more installed RAM, depending on your computer motherboard slots.
    You might want to discuss the choice of the card with NVIDIA.

    I suspect that
    My desktop and laptop computer both use the integrated Intel HD Graphics where my strengths included installed RAM, free hard drive space, and computer processor.
    Please consider. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Just Bought a Presonus Firebox and want to know if I really need to install

    Just Bought a Presonus Firebox and want to know if I really need to install the presonus software that came with it?
    Is it really necessary?
    thanks, technoreid

    The Firebox Mixer allows you to set up different
    routings for the monitors and headphones. You may
    never use such features, but if you do, you'll
    appreciate the flexibility. It can also be used to
    provide lower latency monitoring of live signals than
    you might get using softwre monitoring in Logic.
    For most operation, you won't need it, and you'll
    control everything from Logic and the front panel
    level controls.
    In my opinion, the Firebox is the king of small
    interfaces.
    Before worrying about a tube preamp, get some mics,
    and learn how to use the EQ in Logic.
    +1 a solid interface
    personally i use the mixer feature to switch my main outs from 1-2 to 3-4 when using traktor to let 1-2 be the headphone cue.... ect....

    You can only update the iPad to iOS 5.1.1and you cannot go any higher. If you never updated that high, you can do so by using iTunes on your computer. You will have to connect the iPad to your computer with the cable and launch iTunes
    You can read more here. Make sure that you read the section about using iTunes. The article starts off with using the Settings on the iPad for WiFi updates. That only works with the iPad 2 and higher that is already running iOS 5.

  • I just downloaded the IOS 6 update on my iPad 2, and it deleted my youtube app that was already installed when I got the iPad. I want it back.

    Okay, I just downloaded IOS 6 on my iPad 2, and it deleted the youtube app that was already installed when I got the iPad, I downloaded the new app from the apple store and it doesn't fit my screen, this is ******* me off and I would like it back.

    Here is the thing the actual license for Apple to have a native YouTube app has expired you must understand this more about Apple removing Google from its ecosystem and less about actual licenses.  If Apple was so inclined I am almost certain they could have continued to provide a native YouTube app.
    Do you really think that Apple Maps are "better" for iOS users?  You know that you can set your default search to another provider such as Bing?  Imagine Apple changing its default Safari search to Bing.  You must understand that Google makes more from searches on iOS devices than it does on everyting that is Andriod (source:http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-earns-four-times-more-from-ios-than-a ndroid/).  Apple is slowly and meticulously working on freeing iOS of Google products.
    Of course it is a free market and Apple will most certainly allow Google's apps on their app store.

  • I recently took my 27 in i mac to peach mac for service for a flashing green screen. They said it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and want to charge me 99.00 to re-install it. WiIll mac come out with a patch for OS x for this?

    I recently took my 27 in I Mac to Peach Mac for service for a flashing green screen. It comes up when I log in.  They said it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and want to charge me 99.00 to re-install it. WiIll mac come out with a patch for OS x for this? Is this worth it?

    Having a similar issue with my MacBook Pro w/Retina 2012.
    I did the reinstall my self and incrementally did the updates by downloading them from Apple's website instead of using the App Store.
    I found that the problem occured after updating to OS X 10.9.3.
    The issue is in a 4k resolution update for mirroring displays.  Not that you should be doing that from an iMac but your packaged update may have been similar even though the update was meant for 2013 MacBook Pro's.
    You can try reseting the Nvram chip during boot up by pressing "Option + P + R" keys.  You may have to do this after entering your password to log in if you have that set up on your computer.  However this only works on certain models of Mac hardware and may not do anything at all.
    After you get your second opinion from Apple, if they again confirm it's a software issue, then you should reinstall OS X Mavericks and download updates from the website instead of the app store.  This way you control your updates.  You will find the OS X 10.9.2 update as well as a seperate security update prior to the released update of the dreaded OS X 10.9.3
    Again if you don't want the issue to occur again, then hold off on updating to OS X 10.9.3, but be cautioned that you do so at the risk of leaving your computer less secured even though it will seem to run better.

    then

    You need to have an x-server running on your desktop, in order to receive the redirected GUI output.  I use xming.  Like putty, it is free and lightweight.
    Also, you don't need to fool with DISPLAY or xhost.  Just configure you putty session to allow x-11 port forwarding.

  • If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device??

    If I already have a particular app under one apple Id and I purchase the same app under a different Id for the same device, will it overwrite or replace the previous or will I have two of the same app on the same device?? 
    I'm asking because I purchased an app with an id that has been cancelled so I cannot update that particular app. I can purchase the app with my new id but I don't want to do so if its going to erase all the data I have with the previous purchase...

    Figured it out. Thanks.
