How to Install Android Market on BlackBerry PlayBook????

Description:

We saw this happen with the Kindle Fire and HP Touchpad, and we’re seeing it happen with the Blackberry PlayBook. RIM, just like HP, is struggling to sell their iPad-competing tablet. The PlayBook is now expected to go on a fire sale soon to get rid of excess stock. You may actually want to get yourself a PlayBook now, though, since the modding community recently managed to “jailbreak” it and you can now even install Android Market on it! Check out our step-by-step guide after the break which shows you exactly how you can install Android Market to play around with the wide variety of apps that Android offers.

Steps:
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 7 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.
If you followed the steps correctly, Android Market will now be installed and working on your BlackBerry PlayBook.
