BB10 OS Downloader (bbdownloader)

An OS/radio link generator, automatic lookup tool, certification/metadata browser, etc. for BlackBerry 10

Requirements

• BlackBerry OS 10.3.1 (as of 5.1.0)
• Some way to install bar files (GitHub is so much better than BlackBerry World)

What it Does

1. Create links to files on production servers (no guarantees of existence)
2. Perform OS/software lookups across all 5 servers (plus availability checking for production)
3. Generate EScreens codes
4. Browse Momentics metadata/PTCRB certifications
5. Text/file hashing
6. Creation of blank icons/nomedia files
7. System information (including all those hard to reach text files)
8. Be a good Cascades example
9. All of the above, for free :)

Building

1. Grab the source
2. Extract somewhere
3. Import into Momentics
4. Build project

As of 5.8.3, this project requires the Flurry SDK for BlackBerry 10 in order to perfectly recreate upstream. If you want to use Flurry, make sure your Flurry SDK location (without spaces) is the FLURRY_SDK_LOC linked resource (Project > Properties > Resource > Linked Resources).

No fancy licensing here, just fork this and do whatever. Although, if you figure out something interesting, please do try to put it upstream via pull request.
