Has anyone been able to sideload developer VR games? There is a sideloadvr app in playstore but not for Galaxy s7. Tried using it, was able to use signature function and download and install the apps. But when you put the phone in the VR it goes straight into oculus store and apps don't show up in oculus store. Anyone who has been able to use the sideload developer apps on VR, if you could please let me know how you did it.

sideload vr is working here. after you install a game launch the game and you will be prompted to attach the vr headset. i think your problem is that you are attaching the vr headset first before launching the game.

Try this app.
A friend shared it with me.
Works fine. No root.
Just tap on the cardboard when you dont want Oculus to load.

I think I may have caused it..... I froze some Samsung apps to avoid an OTA. Now I cant select an app online in the play store and have it download on my device.
I have to select it form the play store on the phone.
Anyone know exactly which Samsung app I need to re enable?
THANKS
I am really trying to get Xfinity TV Go to work on my NP. I have tried the one from the play store as well as the Leanback Launcher one that is out there. All of them crash and say "Unfortunatley, TV Go has stopped" when I try and play a video or watch a live stream. I tried an older version of the app last night and it loaded video, just no sound. Does anyone have any success with this? I know others have said theirs work.

Thanks! Just let me know. I am very frustrated with it since ESPN works flawlessly for me.
I have the same problem as you, the app sideloads and opens just fine, but when I go to play any video it crashes back to its home screen.
Any luck getting xFintity GO to work on the Nexus Player?
I did notice an update is available but i haven't tried it yet

I managed to get a version to work. I had to extract the apk (unzip), remove the lib/x86 folder, re-zip, and sign.
Since when you sign, it will be with a different key, you will have to uninstall the current installed version first.
Either use adb uninstall com.xfinity.playnow
or, if you have root and want to keep the data, adb root; adb shell pm uninstall -k com.xfinity.playnow
Then install this:

I am going to try this when I get home. So can I not just uninstall the current xfinity tv go the normal way and install yours?

I tested out the app last night and it works! You are a genius! I did notice that the 3 dot menu does not work, so you can't watch live channels or search for anything that is not on the main menu. Android broke that functionality in 5.1. I then downgraded to 5.0 and it worked perfectly. I did not root my NP and when I woke up it had updated to 5.1.1. I may have to downgrade again and root so it does not change.
My question for you. Do you know a way to use the 3 dot menu in 5.1.1 in general? BC it wrecked tons of apps we sideloaded. Also, since you are good at altering an app, would it be easy to alter the xfinity app to allow the 3 dot menu?
Can you edit the androidmanifest and make the app open to "networks" instead of featured? Or any other section in the context menu?
OMG it works!!! Ive been waiting for this day for months!
The MENU doesnt fully work yet like previous posts saying but there's hope
does it work well with the remote or do u have to use a mouse
Mirror??
Looks like Filedropper took it down...

Here's a zip file which contains a copy of the working APK that ruZZ.il originally provided.
Mouse is required

I didn't try remote. But controller (gamepad) doesn't work at all.
The mouse is required to navigate through the app on Nexus Player - login and navigation.
And yes - no way to open menu or so ever. Basically you will be stuck on first 'Feature' page only.
In my case it was 'Must see', 'Thu Night TV' and 'Wed Night TV'.
Tried to play one of the available episodes - works perfectly fine.
Any thoughts on why this wouldn't work on Android X86? They are both Intel.
Got Live TV Working!
So I modified the apk and told it to launch to the live TV page instead of featured videos. APK Attached.
i have the regular Xfinity TV Go app working. With live tv and recorded shows. I get the full app menu. I'm running android 5.02 still on my ADT-1

The modified APKs in this thread do work on the Nexus Player which is an x86 device. Are you trying to use it on something else like a tablet?

The ADT-1 uses a Tegra 4 SoC so it's an ARM device. If you update the operating system to Android 5.1 or higher, then some of your apps will lose the hamburger or 3 dot menu access.
Gabby It was actually really easy. Decompiled the apk, Edited the "\smali\com\xfinity\playerlib\view\launch\PlayerLaunchStrategy.smali" file. Replaced the two calls to the /featured/FeaturedActivity with /browseprograms/LiveStreamsActivity. Then recompiled and signed. (I did have to use the apk that you posted as a basepoint).
I got a question, I got a google cardboard it works really well with the native apps that you can find in play store, but since the s6 edge have the gear vr with more cool stuff, Im wondering if theres any way to download the oculus app and use it in the google cardboard, i have a bluetooth controller so the navigation will be no problem, but downloading the oculus home and make it run without the gear vr is the challenge, did someone can solve this?
Unfortunately you have to have the gear vr to open all the cool oculus apps. There is a gear vr forum. No one is doing any custom development from what I've seen.

I was wondering if this was possible. I just need to run an app on VR mode. That is my main requirement, to use PS4 remote play by twisted89 on VR mode to enjoy PS4 games on VR. So if a specific app cannot be turned into vr mode why not the whole device screen? Is that also not possible? I already found an app called Trinus VR, but it requires a PC, so I want this to work only with the mobile itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated

that i think is impossible. since trinus was made for pc mirroring. sorry
I think what his trying to say is and correct me if I'm wrong but, he wants an app that turns any other app into a split-view vr style outcome even if pseudo, which in turn he then wants to run (after activating the previous app that turns stuff into vr mode) the remote play app to play his ps4 games in pseudo vr mode.
I think if an app like this was developed it would need root access to allow cross app vr displayed split-view, as i think it will make the whole display split-view which in turn will make all apps "vr". Not sure if there will be stutter problems on the default launcher but that's easily overcomeable using a vr launcher i assume or just coding it to be disabled on popular launchers.
I know for a fact that the Lenovo K5 does this with stock rom, so... it's possible. Maybe you can buy one?

Exactly what I meant and you just read my mind man, I am trying to play PS4 in VR via the remote play. The best option I came up with so far was Trinus VR, but I want to do this by my phone alone with the remote play app by twisted89.
And yeah, yeah, what all this guy said was what I meant, I need an app to turn on entire mobile screen into VR mode or just the one app I need, thank-you guys :laugh:
Reply please

Search for the SBS apk
It is not possible to turn the screen into SBS mode (side by side). Only thing that exists is native SBS that works on versions 4.4.2 and bellow or some versions of Cm13 with Android 6.0.1.
It will not work on any stock Rom.
I have looked everywhere. Tried everything.
There are apps that can play vr videos and allow sbs web browsing on non vr/cardboard compatible phones.
For videos: VRTV VR is pretty good.
For web browsing: NoMone VR
For anything else, Trinus via pc would be the only option.
Install an emulator on your pc. Install Android on it. Then the apk you want. Mirror your pc to your Android phone. Use VR
A difficult issue, though. As far as I found, those are the basic requirements for playing VR stuff:
2GB + Ram
1080p to 2K Screen resolution
1.4GHz+ CPU speed
Gyroscope (in some cases - not)
At least 4.7 inch display
16M+ colors
Those are basic requirements to play some basic apps. In order to have better FPS performance you will need some more advanced hardware.
Also, if you are interested in VR software development - check my article about best VR/AR SDK which you will need to create apps.
P.S. Found this answer on Quora
Any change?
I used to have a Lenovo ph, and never realized how fortunate I was to have instant vr at the click of a button. For the whole system.! Now I am stuck trying to use cardboard crap app which does a tenth of what I want..
Even just streaming on a browser I'm finding difficult.
I want full screen split no movement. Or anything like a standard split screen on device.
Anyone had any luck?
We bought our son a Fire HD 10 for xmas. I have been trying to find a way to sideload my own apps to the kids FreeTime side but i can't find a suitable solution. This is so frustrating!
There are lots of apps I want to install for him but the main thing I wanted was YouTube kids. I figured out how to install the playstore and YouTube kids but the only way I can get it on the kids freeTime side was by installing an app called gotoapp full. That would have been fine but that app allows my son to access ALL apps! You cannot hide or disable the ones you don't want kids to access. I didn't like him accessing everything, but had no choice. Now it's a problem. He actually managed format the tablet so now I have to find a proper solution.
What do I do???? I just bought it so whatever I do I don't want to void the 2yr warranty. Otherwise I will do whatever I need to get this working correctly for him.

Sorry I didn't explain the problem well enough.
So on the kids FREETIME side I did figure out how to install the Google PlayStore and I can install Youtube kids. However, the problem with this tablet is that on this kids side all sideloaded apps are completely hidden.
I actually had to upload all the Google apks to OneDrive then I was able to install and open OneDrive on the kids side by installing it from the Amazon app store. It appears on the kids side because it was installed from the Amazon app store.
After downloading the apks from onedrive and installing them there is no way to access the apps.
Immediately after you install an app it gives you the option to click done or open. If I hit open I can run YouTube kids. As soon as it's closed there is no way to open it again unless I reinstall it and then click open.
Obviously I don't want to have to reinstall the app every time I want to open YouTube kids and that isn't something I would want my son doing.
If no one knows how to get apps on kids FreeTime side..
How do I setup the regular side for kids? Is there a launcher or app that will block features from kids?
Need a good parental control.
