VR mode for non-VR compatible mobiles - Google Cardboard

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?

Question: Anyone attempted installing Pip Boy apk on watch?

Yes I know, weak CPU and limited RAM. But has anyone attempted to install the Fallout 4 Pip Boy apk on a watch yet? I would LOVE to see a youtube video of it in action.
It might not run on the watch due to limited ram and cpu but its worth trying.. Also interested in hearing from someone who have done this.

Doesn't it use internet? Doing that might FC the app.
I believe it would access the wifi but not the Internet. When connecting to the PC edition, it looks for the PC directly on the network.
I have it running just fine in demo mode. Navigating the map is a pain, but it works. I'm using a Gear 2 with Android Wear mod, so no wifi. Trying to find a way around it...
Yep, link in my signature.
I wanted to make a youtube video, but its really pain in the ass when you don't have a proper camera with a tripod. As you need to hold your phone and your watch and then click stuff on the watch while phone is blocking your view.
It fully works though, I was able to connect it to my game over wifi.

If you install your apk into /system on your watch, it should be able to access internet over bluetooth. However system partition is usually very limited in available space.

Our nexus 6 supports daydream

I apologize if someone posted anything regarding this, I'm searching for people discussing it and couldn't find it here or on Reddit..
After watching the keynote I rushed to the developer zone only to find:
Note: The Nexus 6P is the only phone supported as a headset phone for a Daydream development kit at this time.

Annoyed since there should be no reason to leave the n6 out I tried it anyway, the apk gives an error so I followed the instructions to setup the sdk thinking maybe to mess with the source but no need, it compiled without complaint,
the remote app wasn't working because it was only arm64 but before the keynote ended they updated the repo with a new version that does.
The demo is really interesting and I think it's a lot smother than regular cardboard apps, then again those should be smoother as well on the preview3 ..
update ??

It works fine with the Daydream VR app and any accompanying ARM compatible app. I installed the Daydream VR app and Google Arts and Culture, as well as VR services, and then installed the remote emulator on my Nexus 5. Turn Bluetooth and high accuracy location on both, pair the devices, open up a VR app like Arts and Culture, click the settings icon. Enable developer options by tapping the build number and then open them. Allow virtual controllers. Now open the emulator on the second phone (KitKat or higher, with a gyro) and connect.

VR Sideload

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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that. Yes those apps have a vr button when launched, and it works. But after that, when I visit those sites I am interested in, the button still does not show up.
Hello. Can anybody give me a weather widget that looks just like tab S2 weather widget.
Hi to all,
I have a funny problem with a new Hisense A2.
The Hisense A2 is a new dual screen phone which I wanted to replace my yotaphone 2. Both phones have a e-ink display on the front/backside and an additional normal display. The apps from the normal display can be switched to the e-ink display. It works with google maps, browsers, and also youtube (looking, well not so good).
With the Yota it is no problem to use google cardboard oder chinese vr glasses. With the Hisense, the problem is, that the video feed is switched to the e-ink cover, where it does not work, even if the split screen line and the gear symbol is on the lcd side.
This happens with google cardboard apps, which is sad.
InstaVR Apps, like tokyo VR for cardboard or AAA VR Cinema Cardboard work.
I thought, all those cardboard apps would use the same output environment. Is there a tool with wich you can check wich VR modes (Cardboard, GearVR, ??) are working?
Thanks to you. If the post has landed in the wrong forum, please forward it.
Jens
Possibly a question with many answers.
I suffer from "VR sickness" whenever I go on the PS4 VR headset.
I didn't know it was a thing before I experienced it, it's like a feeling of dissociation and anxiety caused by the body not feeling what you brain thinks it's doing.
My question: would this happen with Google cardboard? Anyone with experience in this would be beneficial.

This is not my work but it is verified to work and it does not contain any ads or any limitations
Hello!
Thank you very much for this app. I sideloaded on my FTVS and it works great with Spotify. Unfortunately I can't detect it with any other app like Chrome / Youtube... Is this app able to cast only sound?
I was able to test it with chrome tab cast and screen mirroring from Windows computer
Install Google Home on your tablet, phone, whatever and go to cast screen.
This works great. Just gonna keep stuff like roms\emulators on my tablet primarily now.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for apk. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I have installed your apk and googleHome Cast app. Moreover i installed the google play service for android tv. On my phone and my PC i can see the new "tv-stick-chromecast-device", but i don't can see anything if i try to send something from Phone or PC to the Stick. After opening the Chromecast app i tried to go to cast screen, but there is no device found. What i'm doing wrong, please help me. Thank you.

It took me several times to get it to cast but it is works.
I hope this app sticks around longer than the last Google cast app for AFTV.

Hi josuelopezv:
What's so shameful. Developers give you a convenient to install android box without Google Play Service since you said you already buy it from Google PlayStore. But you leak it as piracy and don't think how many times developers spend to implement the Cast Protocol in house.

I thought this is forbidden/illegal? Shouldnt this thread or at least the APK have been deleted?
I do not have a problem to buy any app that has the right functionality.
Im just not used to see pirated content on here(?)
There is nothing illegal about this.

This doesn't seem to allow cast of youtube. It works fine for everything else though. Was hoping to use this for a workaround for the upcoming youtube app removal.

Same here. Casting from YouTube via Chrome on my laptop doesn't work but casting the whole screen does (never found a use for that though since the quality and latency make it pretty useless)
Yeah since I found a work around for the coming youtube/fire armageddon I'm not concerned. How are you casting the whole screen btw?
Dave
I use Google Home to steam everything and haven't had a hiccup. Even games work fine.
Thanks! I'll give this a shot. How is the apk in this thread different than the one in the play store?
Thanks for posting this. Is there any way to support the developer as this appears to be a premium version?

Why don't you find out for yourself? Kinda seems like a complete waste of time to register just to say this.
This appears to run as a chromecast receiver & NOT as a chromecast Audio receiver. I'm not sure why Google differentiates them but it would be nice to have a toggle in this app.
