Daydream VR working Nexus 6 7.0.0 - Nexus 6 General

Just wanted to share this with eveyone since I have not seen it posted after several searches . You can run daydream vr on the nexus 6 running 7.0.0 with the following .
UPDATE : Updated to 7.1.1 last night and no daydream without using this mod. With mod daydream vr seems better then on 7.0 but might just be the fresh flash .
---Added Attached screen shot of file after edit . ----
1. Download the apk's for the following ,
VR services
Daydream VR
VR keyboard
2. Modify /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml as described Here , credit goes to Piyush V - https://plus.google.com/113080261620205073340 .
Additional credit here [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5hno6u/got_daydream_to_work_on_my_5x_might_work_on_other/[/URL]

That's awesome I've been waiting for this. But can't figure out which permission to edit. Please see hlthe attached pic

anyone tried it? is the hardware of our beloved nexus enough to run daydream games?

Someone really needs to get on this and explain it better if it really works. I can't figure out what to do for sure.

If you read it instead of skimming it then you would know. It states plainly what you need to do.

I did read through it, several times. I even opened the file it says to edit to look at it myself. I caught between what exactly I have to do from there. I think I have to add a permission to the bottom of the list but at the same time, I wonder if I need to edit and existing permission. All I was looking for was a confirmation.

It tells you exactly what to do. There is nothing to wonder about really. The directions are simple and too the point.

It tells me to add a few lines of code to the "root permissions tag". In the xml document, I don't see anything that says root permissions. I have never edited any system documents like this before and I want to make sure that I do it right.

You are taking things too literally. The root permission tag is just what the heading refers to. Just look for permissions and you will see a bunch of code right below it that is formatted just like the code you have to add.
If you have never done something like this then I would make sure you have a bunch of logcat tools and other debugging tools on hand, just in case things dont work properly.

working great thanks

Remote works once you have the google apks installed and edit the permissions , it will have you configure remote during first launch

https://www.amazon.com/UbiGear-Gene...words=vr+box+2.0&refinements=p_96:10155283011
would this work? or do we have to use googles headset?

Tested with google cardboard and google vr headset including ebay cheap vr box all r working perfectly
EDIT 2: If you're having problems, go into the Daydream app and tap on the build version a few times to activate developer mode. Then go into the developer mode screen and enable "Skip VR Entry Screens". I believe this is only necessary if you don't have a Daydream headset or controller,

I followed these steps and have the latest version of VR services, DayDream, and DayDream keyboard installed. When I try to launch into DayDream from the app, it says I need to update VR services. It then takes me to the play store where I am unable to download VR services since it is "incompatible". I don't know why the app says this though, I already installed the latest version of VR services.

I installed it on my own tab before posting the link. It works fine. As for installing it, just copy to the tab and open it with an installer app or file manager from the market.

Fine job making a Windows program. Unfortunately I do not know most of those apps so I will not select them. Is it too much to ask someone for a list of apk name versus function name?

The apk name is listed along with the packagename in the list. If you are unsure what things are safe to block/disable. There are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you.
I did not see the package name so I will have run it again and read more carefully or try to change the size of that field.

Yeah, it sounds like you blocked a little too many, Lol. You can simply go and save your blocked list and then Unblock all and start going one by one until you figure out which ones you do need.
Please bring all feedback and questions over to the forum dedicated for this.

Here's one thing to think about also, by accident I blocked the Google stock email , not the Gmail. I went back to unblock and I had to re-enter all my emails back again. So what I'm saying after a block and then an un-block it wipes the app. Did you expect that to happen or should I expect that to happen for most apps be turned back on?
Thanks

Bloatware Tool

http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-remove-bloatware-from-your-android-device-xda-tv/
Does not need root access, you can remove .apks with it if you have root access, but it lets you disable without.
Download the Debloater tool, turn Debugging on, plug your phone in, start the program.
I just disabled LG Health on my Verizon phone with it. I would like to disable VoiceMate but I'm not sure what the .apk is. My apologizes if this is already known to work on the G4; I haven't seen it mentioned in the G4 forums, but I can confirm it does work.
Maybe someone can use this tool and compile a list of apps that are safe to disable using it.

No problem but be sure to add DTIgnite to the list, I missed that one. You will probably be better off uninstalling the DTIgnite update and disabling it from the app manager. That's the worst bloatware/spyware I've seen them preinstall. It's terrible.
I'll play along. Everyone knows I love debloating!

I gotta say, I just went through the list you gave me....
I had probably about 60% of the apks you listed disabled already. But that other 40% (while getting rid of CHROME) and switching to Firefox....made a world of difference.
Holy smokes, this phone is flying now. There is absolutely zero lag and it seems way more touch responsive.
Thank you.
So, this only Hiden the apps or disable them like titanium backup?
wath I need to disable for lg health and voice mate?

if you DL a DT Ignite tool and check, if it's disabled it still apears, albeit disabled. If you use this utility to hide it, it's not even found. Much bettet.

I haven't done it yet, I only have one computer that has fully working adb drivers, but try disabling the lg keyboard and split window as well. I hear they're both to blame for touch problems.

I had to install the Verizon software assistant when you first plug the phone in to the PC. After that the debloat tool recognized it. Also make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the phone.
Dang I was all excited until I realized I needed a Windows box. Guess I'll have to wait to get home and dig out my old laptop to do this.
I have to figure out how to install the drivers on a mac. I know it is possible. this debloater works on a mac as there is a .dmg file for it. I can not use the verizon software assistant because it only works on a pc. Thank you for your help though.
I feel stupid asking this but I can't get my adb drivers to work with my g4.

Can you not create a virtual machine with either Apple OS or Linux (or even run in Wine if you are using Linux)?
I can but its easier just to go home and use a windows laptop.

Does the keyboard work in chrome?

Do the BlackBerry keyboard predictions work everywhere? They don't work in chrome for me especially when trying to type in the address bar and on Google.
Is there something that I have to enable?
Nope it doesn't work in chrome, there was a modified keyboard here on xda but the poster removed it.

To be fair, I've been mainly a lurker here at XDA, hence my low post count. I've been a member since 2009 if that puts your mind at ease. but I can understand how my post looked fishy. I've been banging my head against the wall for a couple weeks trying to figure out how to disable that darn update, so I was ecstatic when I saw the link to an apk that actually worked for me, so I felt compelled to log in and drop a line of gratitude
soon as I click software update to disable, the app freezes, says s package disabler has stopped working, then force closes.
does this with anything I click on to try to disable
