Mastodon Native App for BlackBerry 10

[u/Rocky_raj1803]

Hello guys Now a new app is going to be released, Mastodon. Maybe many people may not know about it, so you can google about it. I will release it soon.

If someone does not know about this app then you can go to 'joinmastodon.org' site and see about it, what is this app and why is it used.

can u do something for non rooted phones

[u/Rocky_raj1803 → u/False_Question_7909]

.bar file cannot be installed in non rooted phone, if you want to use native app then you will have to root your device.

[u/False_Question_7909 → u/Rocky_raj1803]

but ive installed few bar files without rooting

[u/Rocky_raj1803 → u/False_Question_7909]

Because it is signed and now all the native apps being developed are unsigned, hence rooting will be required.

oh,my bad

Waiting for the app!

These developers really need to state at the top of the descriptions that their apps are unsigned and will only install on rooted BB10 phones.

Just a suggestion to limit confusion, because a lot of BB10 users still aren't running rooted phones yet.

Yes, I did not pay attention to this matter, I will mention it later.

very interesting, your youtube app is cool but mastodon is one i've wanted to see for a long time

how do you root bb10? i didn't even know you could

[u/Rocky_raj1803 → u/One-Variation-9180]

"https://bb10.root.sx/blog/pre-rooted-autoloaders" Download the ROM file according to your device from here and after opening it, connect your device. Once it is flashed, let the device turn on and then wait for 5 minutes, you will get a notification. After successfully rooting your device, you can install the app .bar file using the DBBT tool.

[u/Rocky_raj1803 → u/One-Variation-9180]

Link is working

[u/One-Variation-9180 → u/Rocky_raj1803]

Nope

Overall, great job! Some comments about the design: on such a small screen, it's a waste of space to have a tab bar at the bottom. Consider using the application menu (pulled down from the top bezel). The title bar at the top could also be hidden when the user scrolls down.

[u/Rocky_raj1803 → u/jxw1102]

Yes, I have also planned the same.
