The
BlackBerry Priv has not even arrived at most stores yet, but
Xaiux
over at the XDA Forum has already begun pulling out various bits of
software from the handset and sticking them up for download. There are
no guarantees that all or any of these apps will work flawlessly with
your particular devices, but they might be worth a try if you want to
experience some of BlackBerry’s legendary software for yourself.
BlackBerry is pretty well known for its keyboard technology and you can download the Priv’s keyboard as a
standalone APK.
All of the other apps will require BlackBerry Services installed before
they will work, once you have that you can try out the BlackBerry
Launcher and Calendar software too.
Finally, if you want the BlackBerry Hub and other bits of untouched
software you will also need root access on your smartphone, as it has to
be installed on your system partition. You can find a list of all the
files at this link.
Additionally, the Priv’s stock wallpapers have also appeared online. You can grab the .rar file with them all on
from this link and I’ve uploaded them again below for simpler downloading onto your mobile.
Of course, there are still a good number of reasons to go out and buy
the actual BlackBerry Priv. The Priv comes with some pretty decent
hardware, there’s a curved 5.4-inch QHD display, Snapdragon 808 SoC, 3GB
of RAM and an 18 megapixel rear camera. Not to mention proper software
support and the additional encryption/security features. Still, it’s
nice to try things out.
