    The first step is to actually get hold of the apps you want to install on your BB10 device. Android apps use the APK extension, but these can’t be sideloaded on a BlackBerry 10 device directly. Like the PlayBook, BlackBerry 10 makes use of BAR files for installation. Various websites and forums offer pre-converted and signed BAR files, ready for si...
