Apkenv is a compatibility layer for applications packaged as ".apk", runs on Harmattan (N9) and Fremantle (N900).
"This project is a proof-of-concept on how applications targetting one platform can be made compatible with not so much effort as initially thought."

1. Download the latest apkenv.harmattan binary from http://thp.io/2012/apkenv/
Current version direct link

mkdir -p /home/user/apkenv cp -R /home/user/MyDocs/apkenv.harmattan.VERSION_DATE /home/user/apkenv/apkenv chmod 775 /home/user/apkenv/apkenv apt-get install libsdl1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libgles1-sgx-img
4. Download the Bionic binaries from http://thp.io/2012/apkenv/ and place them in /home/user/apkenv/ or copy them from /home/nitdroid/system/lib only if you are running NiTDroid Alpha 4!
5. Incase of extreme laziness to read nitdroid forum, download nitdroid binary (http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/n9/nitdroid_n9_ics_alpha4.tar.bz2), extract it and go to /system/lib path.
The libraries required:
libc.so liblog.so libm.so libstdc++.so libz.so
5. If you have a .apk file in /home/user/MyDocs/, run it as follows in terminal:
cd /home/user/apkenv/ ./apkenv /home/user/MyDocs/APK_NAME
NOTE: Kindly update the Games Compatibility wiki with your results when running an .apk regardless of success rate!
