has anybody tried to force daydream vr support on his rooted essential phone?
it's described here at xda (not essential specific).
how are your experiences?
i think about using the systemless magisk-based method and buying a daydream view.
I bought a daydream view when it was on sale for 29.99. i then used the daydream enabler magisk module found in the repo. Installed all the daydream required apps and everything works great. I'm using rooted stock oreo by the way.
that sounds great. i will check which are the differences between the module in the repo and the tutorial i've linked.
in germany the daydream view costs 50 euro (atm on sale) which is about 60 usd. i wonder if i should wait what google shows in october.

I've tried the module and it seems to work fine, but when it's activated my GCam crashes (running it with the magisk module by aer0zer0). Anyone having any ideas?

the same thing happened to me it all depends on the version of G cam you're using I had to switch to a different one so that I could keep both a custom G Cam and daydream support

Which custom ROM has working compass? (US model)
U need a compass sensor
Well then, it's good that it does have one.
Compass apps work fine as I'm on the stock ROM currently.

I just installed the most popular free Compass app from the Play store, then rotate the phone to see if it's accurate.
not LineageOS 17.1
No compass with LineageOS 17.1
Something I need as well
Although only XT1687 has the compass sensor. Other models have NFC,

I must have the XT1687 then, because I have a compass and no NFC.
Is there an answer to OPs question without trying them all myself? I would like a working compass.
Hi,
I think it's time to start a bounty for daydream on LOS based roms. It's the only feature that is still missing so far.
There is also a bug report on Jira
I would drop 20$.
Are there any other contributors?
20$ _phk_
10$ p4ch1nk0
15$ 0Kajuna0
---------
45$ Total
I would contribute up to $10 USD if someone starts this. Virtual Virtual Reality was on sale and I bought it, but it's not split for each eye in LOS.
$15
Not sure if this forum is the most appropriate for the bounty though, as this affects all LOS devices, not just the Axon7. More people than just us can contribute
Hm ... but daydream is already working?!?! Do i miss something?

a few work pretty well. youtube and fulldive let me watch videos, so I'm happy about that. many others either don't show in split screen or show just a black screen.
which other devices That are already supported by Los could get a full daydream support?
Actually i would say that Daydream is only kinda "working" on custom roms right now, but not to the extent Google originally had it in their mind. You can easily see it, if you compare the Daydream-Performance of the rendering as well as the head movement tracking on stock vs custom. When you extensively used it on stock roms, custom roms are still miles away from the daydream feeling you supposed to get, as i described it on my other thread
The jittery head tracking and the performance loss on so far ANY daydream app is not, what our devices really are capable of.
I'm sure there are some kernel "features" or libraries missing, who are necessary for full app support and hardware recognition. From my experiences (and i used Daydream quite a lot in the recent times), it just feels like it.
*BUMP*
$20 from me as well
10$ from me
A solution is found for the non-working apps:
There's a magisk module available here changig the following settings in you build.prop
ro.build.product=marlin
ro.product.name=marlin
ro.product.device=marlin
ro.product.board=marlin
#ro.product.manufacturer=Google
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.build.fingerprint=google/marlin/marlin:7.1.1/NMF26Q/3537182:user/release-keys
After these changes the missing apps also work in daydream mode.

Couldn't you change the properties to the stock ones? I see that custom ROMs use the name 'axon7' instead of the original 'ailsa_ii' which is odd for sure. If Daydream works on stock, and just by emulating another device you can get Daydream apps to work, why can't you change the properties to, well, ailsa_ii?
I really want to root my S8, but the only thing holding me back is the fact that I sometimes watch Sky Sports on their Mobile TV app and it won't work on rooted devices. Every time I've Googled this - and it's been a few times over the years - no-one has had any solution for hiding root from the Sky Sports app effectively.
I was just wondering if anything had changed since I last looked - Google suggests not, but I thought some of the fine people on here might know something. To be fair, most of the posts I've found seem to be about some cricketer called Joe Root...
Bump - no-one?
I did this on my S7 edge and Note 5 to watch Amazon prime videos and Fios mobile videos and it worked. You can give it a shot.

I use BT sport app. It's similar to sky sports app where it checks for root and won't function if root is detected. However using magisk hide and hide BT sport app it works fine.

That's interesting - I use BT Sport on my rooted Nvidia Shield tablet (Sky Sports won't run on an Android tablet for some reason) and haven't had to do anything to get it working with root.
I suppose that different apps use different methods to detect root, though, so one solution for one app might not work for another...?
as already stated magisk will work and I can confirm that as I watch sky sports on my s8 that's rooted with magisk

Thanks Char_G! I've been running this rom with the Pixel2 modded launcher and after the initial setup, it smoothed out nicely. It's been running great! I love all the features that are in it even in the early stages of this rom. Everything is working well for me so far. Kudos to the Dev on this one!
can i install official opengapps? on this rom?
Has anybody tried Android Auto with this ROM? It seems to connect just fine, but I only get a black screen on the head unit.
This was a great running ROM for me. But Android Auto is a deal killer for me. I am attaching a logcat for you guys to look at to see if you see any issues with it. It should be something do to with gearhead I believe.

Yep.
So last time I used a Oreo rom on Shamu, I had issues with my banking app (Simple) and Netflix, and I'm betting the issues were related....so does the latest netflix app from google play work?

The problem isn't Oreo, but the unlocked bootloader tripping safety net, Netflix also blocks rooted devices now. You can try magisk for root, I don't use it so I can't help you out with that.

I just posted it in the official thread. Hope they can find the issue. This was by far the best ROM in every other aspect as far as stability and polish to me.

I had Magisk but it didn't help. Said SafetyNet passed but Netflix didn't launch, saying "device error".
Are NFC and Bluetooth working. Aside from some jankiness here in there, I think those are the only 2 things I've ever really had issues with on all the Oreo ROMs so far.
Edit-
NFC and Bluetooth look good so far! Only issue I've seen so far is OK Google detection Not letting me through the setup.

Which gapps did you use? The GZR gapps are very minimal and don't support ok Google.

For the Google Assistant, I added it from the Play Store. Works very well.
I did use GZR. I've installed to Google app from the play store. Doesn't that include what's necessary to use the hot word activation?

Just the google app is not enough, but definitely needed. You also need the assistant.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googleassistant&hl=en
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've installed Assistant, uninstalled both Google app and Assistant, set them up again, checked permissions and default app settings...
This screen is as far as I can get. As soon as I click Get Started, it goes back to the screen showing "Ok Google" any time is still off.

I can get "okay Google" to work from the home screen and during Maps, but I haven't been able to get it to work "anytime" yet.
OOohhh, I was assuming we were talking about the same thing. Ok.

What extra are you all getting out of installing the Assistant app? Without it I'm able to use the hot word on the home screen.

XDA posted late last week that LineageOS 17.1 will be adding official builds for the Google Pixel 3a (Link Here).
So far there have been no builds posted, but they should be here soon
Edit 2020-09-08: There is now a live build on the download page.
Both cdesai and npjohnson deserve a big thank-you for stepping up as maintainers!
Nice.
Is it possible to dirty-flash over the unofficial builds (posted recently in telegram)?
No, scratch that, better question: Where's the active-edge support?

I was wondering the same; I've been using the invisiblek build but it hasn't been updated since April.
I should probably back up before I try a dirty flash just in case; can anybody recommend a good backup solution that works without root? The most important thing is my 2FA data.
I flashed it yesterday and ran it all day today. So far it seems to be working just fine. I'm really going to miss having Google Pay at lunch the next time I forget my wallet at home. If there isn't a work-around anymore, I'll probably use the low-tech solution and stash a 20 dollar bill inside my phone case.
I came from stock (rooted), so I can't answer for any of the dirty-flashing questions.

How is battery life and the camera compared to stock ROM ?
I'm looking for an alternative to the stock rom because i find it to be a little bit bloated with some google services that i don't need.
Are the installation instructions on the lineageOS website correct ? Does the google camera app work with this rom?
Thank's in advance for your response

Battery life might be slightly worse, but any time I load a new rom I'm picking up my phone more than usual so it could be that.
Instructions from the Lineage page are correct. I went with Open gapps pico and installed everything else from play store. Had a slight issue going through the wizard because it thought my WiFi wasn't working but I was able to skip and set up manually.
Google camera from play store is working and seems to open at least twice as fast as it did on the stock rom.

I could not get sideload to work using Lineage's recovery on QQ3A.200805.001 (Aug 2020 update). I had to downgrade to QP1A.190711.019, but it did work then using the steps from the LineageOS Wiki.

I wasn't able to finish Google login during setup with and without Gapps. Back at stock.

Call screen is stuck saying "Activating Call Screen (requires WiFi)" but my banks and credit card apps work fine.
Nice!
Did anyone test the e-sim functionality?
Google maps would not use location data. In order for location to work in Google Maps, I had to open it twice, doing an app close after the first open. Drove me nuts.
