A lot of daydream apps don't work on Nexus 5x (apps stay on 2D instead of splitting the screen) because of the Daydream SDK requires low persistence mode on the device.
Does anybody know a workaround? Or is this the END for "unsupported Devices"?

Hey folks,
has anyone of you found out how to use the OP3 with Google Cardboard apps, YouTube 360° Videos or other VR apps?
The moment i enter a VR mode in any of the apps or YouTube 360°, the OP3 doesn't react to any movements (which is the sense of VR) any more. So looking around isn't working, mostly the apps even don't start and are stuck one the initial screen. In YouTube 360° videos i can only look straightforward, a look left or right is impossible.
I'm on the latest stock OTA 3.2.0 version of OxygenOS. Nothing else changed, no root or other modifications.
Regards,
Mika
Oookay, this was a software issue. I just restarted the OP3 once, and everything is fine and working like expected. God knows why ...
I have already mentioned this on the Viper forum, but has anyone been able to launch a Daydream VR app then have it go into split screen mode vs full-screen?
I recently purchased the headset and I can get the Daydream app to function including the tutorial, YouTube, images and maps. But any VR app I download launches in full screen mode so I can't use it with the headset

I also have this problem on a OnePlus 3T. Daydream app works fine but 3rd party VR apps open in full screen and not "VR mode". Anyone have a link for a solution or any idea what could be causing this?
Same issue with a lot of apps on LG V20 w/ Lineage OS
Did you ever get this fixed?
Would like to get a fix for this to.
As the title says, is it possible to configure the Fire TV to run in portrait mode?
I've tried some apps that say they can force rotation, but when activated, seems to change the rotation for about 1 second, then it switches back with the display stretched/distorted until the rotation is reset.
I'd prefer a solution that does not require root. Thanks.

Yes use this app - it will be stretched/distorted on landscape layout but if you run an app that is only running in portrait it should display alright
Thanks for the reply. I tried that app, but it does not seem to have the desired effect.
The application I am using supports landscape and portrait mode, but I want to use it in portrait mode exclusively. When using that application it seems to run the app in landscape mode but force the aspect ratio to look like portrait.
For example, I actually plan on rotating my TV 90 degrees and using it that way.
Does your TV have an accelerometer? I've never seen one that did. Not to say they aren't out there, but I'm betting that's the issue.

No accelerometer. I'm just going to mount it sideways.

Without one your TV won't know that you rotated it.

I do not believe this is the case. Even if the TV had an accelerometer it would have no way to tel the FIre TV about the rotation. There are many Android devices that let you specify the rotation without an accelerometer. Its just a setting in the OS.
Since the intended use case of the Amazon Fire TV is to watch movies, they did not include this as a user-configurable option. But it is definitely possible. For example, if I edited build.prop and set ro.sf.hwrotation=180 it would work. But I would like to find a non-root solution.
Any success?
Nope. I ended up editing the apps I needed to transpose their views 90 degrees.
I need something to mirror my phone screen (in portrait) to the screen that is also rotated 90 degrees to be portrait. Do you have any idea how to manipulate it sonce this does not work?
Is there any info on how you did the app editing? I'm in the same boat.
same issue, I'd really like to just rotate everything by 90° (just need prime video and plex)
Hey there,
is there any change to get the Stock Samsung Android App as a APK to install on a Samsung A40?
Unfortunately they reduced the Camera App on this device.
how they reduced it ? what are the differences ?
For example on the A40 you can only use the bokeh (live focus) - effect, when the camera detects a face. for no reason.
on the a50 you can use this effect on anything you focused on.
Guess it's just another little way to artificially reduce the functions. Same as the missing always on display.

I understand your concern mate but there's currently no way to use camera app from other samsung devices. Samsung releases it's own version of apk for specific devices or else blocks the function if the device is different. I wanted to use Night mode present on S10 on my A50, though the build numbers are same, the app doesn't get installed & when it does, it crashes.
You might need root or someone needs to make an universal port of Samsung's apk.
Cheers
I wonder if the reason is the lack of depth camera (A50 has it, A40 does not). The algorithm can detect a face and blur stuff around it. But it has no way of knowing the limits of other objects without depth data.
Hi,
I've been trying to get the desktop mode to work on android 12 OriginOS but all I'm getting is a blank screen with navigation buttons (either while if I pick light theme, or black if I pick dark theme)
When the phone is locked, then the clock appears on the external monitor
I tried 3 different adapters / cables but getting same results
Only app so far where it works 100% is VLC: The video will properly play on the external monitor, in full screen (no tearing visible or any artifacts)
Has this been fixed on android 13?
Did someone manage to get the desktop mode to work?
cam someone with android 13 try this in the developer options -> 'Force desktop mode'?
Does it display anything?
Thanks
I've tested it on OnePlus 9 Pro running Android 13 on a Huion Kamva 13 tablet and I could see the desktop screen on it. However pen was not working at all.
Hoping that Android 13 improves on it, anyone being successful or seen improvements over Android 12 version?
How did you get apps on the external monitor? I was unable to move an app from phone's screen to external screen, any options?

only mirroring of whats on screen works
very disappointing from Vivo
