Cardboard requires a gyrometer. The Galaxy Prime has a different set of tools for tracking motion. As a result, Google Cardboard won't install and some apps won't work. However, a lot of apps do work as long as you are okay with the default settings. Just download and run them without installing Cardboard.
Also have a Galaxy Prime, so I'm looking for a solution too. But the lack of a gyrometer is the problem.
ADDED: If you visit the mirror site for Google Cardboard (Google it) you can download one of the earlier APKs and install it as a 3rd party app (you have to set your phone to allow unknown apps in the security settings). Install as a default device. This won't solve the gyrometer problem, but it will let you open apps that require you to have Cardboard to open them.

[Q] cardboard and video

Hi everyone,
First I'm sorry if my post is in the wrong place.
I've recently started to look at the Google Carboard and I wanted to play with it making an app.
My goal was very basic: display a video but I'm stuck.
I don't know where to start from. Does anyone know about good tutorials on cardboard?
The one provided by google and the treasure hunt is bit short for me
Thanks
Marc
In addition, what I've done is I've modified the treasurehunt app to display a movie using MediaPlayer.
It works fine if I don't if th VR mode is disabled but when I enable it I get the following error
EGLNativeWindowType 0x765d1230 already connected to another API
eglCreateWindowSurface:414 error 3003 (EGL_BAD_ALLOC)
has s/o any idea ?

[Q] Problem with Google map! Any help?

Hi everyone,
I will try to make it short to not bother you reading this post.
I made ne app using google map, got my api key, all is fine.
When I test my app on my phone via the SDK, the map appear and all is ok.
I compiled my app, send the apk on the google market, I download my app, installed it and now google map doesn't appear?
I check the statistics of my api key on the console developer of google... no requests anymore!
Did somebody can tell me what to do please? If you want to try the app you can find it on google play under the name Croatia Real Estate or find it buy my developer name pgx design.
Thanks for you time and help, wish you all the best.
Guy.

search for vr apps on playstore, you'll find many, try Google cardboard app once.

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.

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.

SuperDisplay - App closes after opening - FireTV Cube

Hey,
i recently bought SuperDisplay and wanted to use it with my firetv but it's not working like it supposed 2. After sideloading and starting it just opens up and closes immediatly. What am i missing here? the Play store? is it even possible to install the playstore to the Fire TV Cube 2nd and if yes without root?
thanks in advance
Is no one able to help me out?
I don't know if its a paid app is not, but most of the apps on the play store rely on the Google Play Services which aren't available on FireTV.
It could be that its not compatible with the android version or display size.
It could also that the file is in splits, which some of the newer ones are, and you are pulling the base only and not the splits, which will DEFINITELY crash the app.
In any of the cases you have to provide the logcat. But my guess is the last one

Ingress on BLU C5L 2020?? Can you test for me?

Hello. I was thinking of getting this phone for a friend, but I want to know if it will run Ingress first. Sometimes Blu phones don't work. I'm not sure why.
If someone could install and test the app out on theirs with their account, I would appreciate it. You can use any google account, or I could make one for you if you want. It's owned by google, so they wouldn't be getting any new info.
