Sideloading Android Apps onto BlackBerry 10

The Engineer

Any idea how I can get my hands on .bar files for Cabbage / Viber / etc.

Would like to install them on my BlackBerry OS 10 device - I don't have access to Google's Play Store.

Thanks in advance

I googled it earlier this evening and got loads of sites

---UPDATE---
No need for BAR files.

The new leaked OS 10.2.1 allows installation of .apk files straight off!

1. Download OS here: http://crackberry.com/leaked-os-10211055-blackberry-z10-and-z30

2. Follow steps here: http://crackberry.com/install-leaked-os-autoloader - after installation, it's a good idea to do a security wipe before restoring, etc. This can take 30 - 60 mins.

3. Get .apk files here: http://forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-apk-files-f413/public-apk-skydrive-access-872705/ or use this: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

Just finished the above steps and it's working like a charm. There are awesome features in the leaked OS, btw.

Don't suppose that will work on the playbook?

Unless it's running OS 10!

Plenty of forums on sideloading onto PlayBook on CrackBerry.com but cannot comment as I've never gone down that route.
