If for whatever reason you've been longing to have the Porsche Design P'9982 styled clock on your BlackBerry 10 smartphone, a way to get it has now been discovered provided you own a BlackBerry Z10. As noted in the CrackBerry Forums by DarcyTallGuy, the process itself is fairly easy and utilizes a 'backdoor' in the clock application for BlackBerry 10.
- Step 1 - Open the clock app and go to World Clock mode. Add a location but instead of a real location type in fostah, then swipe down from the top.
- Step 2 - Click on the menu item labeled 'backdoor' and from there, in the list choose 'Emulate Porsche Design HW'.
- Step 3 - Close the clock app, reopen it as per normal and then go to the clock app settings.
- Step 4 - In the drop down of clock face styles, you should now see options for Porsche Design Digital and Analog faces.
At this point, it appears to only be for the BlackBerry Z10 because while some of the options are available on the Z30 and Q10, you don't have the Porsche Design options to choose from after going through the process. In any case, a pretty neat trick. If you need a more visual guide hit the forums and thank DarcyTallGuy for digging this one up and keep in mind, it might not work for all operating systems, you'll just have to try it on yours and see.
To get the CB alarm dongle, follow the steps above and once in the backdoor, tap Controls on the bottom then enable Alarm Dongle Enhancements.
PS: Shout out to the Clock team because they apparently like to read CrackBerry!
