I successfully made a homemade version of Google Cardboard. I used the plans that are available on the internet. I had to make some minor modifications to get it to work with my S5. First, I cut some extra holes for the power button and volume buttons to prevent them from getting pushed while in use. I had a couple of round small magnets that were being used as a fastener which fit nicely. Seems one magnet is used to hold the other magnet in place. The two magnets need to slide over each other to get the switch action.

The biggest modification I had to make, was to move the lenses further apart to get the images to line up. I am using lenses I found at Michaels and a set of fold-out lenses that were making up a cheap pair of binoculars. I need the most powerful magnifying glass I could find, in combination with the fold-out lenses. The Michaels magnifying glass was actually combined with lighted tweezers but had a magnification of 4X and was the right size.

Good luck should you try this project, It was worth a few hours of work.

Hi,

I also made it. In general it is successful but the application is limited.

Is tehre a way to view our own 3d videos for example ?

also, I couldn't find any developer forum or cotact about this.

Any ideas ?

thx.
[Galaxy S 5 General] zoomie:
I found one forum that had a good discussion about cardboard. For the most part it was a discussion on finding the parts for construction and their frustrations on finding the lenses. I did not bookmark it and have not been back to the site, sorry. The Oculus Rift site has some discussion about Cardboard, but again not much useful information.

I did a search in the Play Store and found a couple of apps that worked with the Cardboard goggles. My search was for "VR". The best app was "rollercoaster" and another was some jet flying program. A hang gliding program needed some type of keyboard input, it probably would work with some type of Bluetooth controller that I do not have. You might find some 3D viewer that would work with your videos. The only limitation would be control, the magnetic switch does not seem to be supported yet.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mrmrmrmr:
thanks for your reply.

actually I would like to have these:

- open 3d video file from my old Fujifilm 3D camera

- open side-by-side 3d videos

- open 3d videos on Youtube (currently it only shows popular Youtube videos -not 3d but in a 3d effected view)

- visit any place on Google Earth in 3D (currently only 4 cities supported on Cardboard app)

have you seen any app that do one or more of these ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] mrmrmrmr:
I still see no developments about cardboard. too sad.

The Google Earth demo supports the entire earth. It only starts in the four cities. You can fly into the sky and the fly back to anyplace on the planet. It is really amazing. As for your own content, you just need to output them as a side by side video or jpg. I look at my own images this way.

Also, for anyone wanting the physical viewer, just by a my3d. you can find them for $7.99 on amazon. It's a failed 3d viewer for the iphone. It has removable backs and you just leave it empty then hold it to your phone. Works great with the cardboard app.

[Galaxy S 5 General] katmandu421:
Any NFC tags will work I imagine, as long as your phone has an NFC radio. You'll want to mount the tag in the cardboard so that it can be read by the phones NFC radio. Program it with the URL cardboard://v1.0.0

I want to try Shadowgun VR, but it requires a bluetooth controller and my hands are already full with google cardboard.

i bought it from googlecardboard.com last week . if anyone know please reply .
[Galaxy S 5 General] charlie_cc:
While you can't play without a controller, it'll fly you around and when you stop you can at least look all around you. Worth a try because it's the most detailed/smooth world available at the moment IMO.

Also, I modded my headset to be hands free. It only took about 10 mins and a pair of old ski goggles. I used the padding from the goggles as well to line the cardboard to stop RNS (red nose syndrome).
[Galaxy S 5 General] mrmrmrmr:
so ?

what's the deal ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] chintandevshah:
Google Cardboard with NFC tag

Once the headset has been constructed, install the cardboard app on your handset, tap the handset against the NFC tag and slot it into the headset. Then you can watch YouTube videos, take a virtual tour around Paris or immerse yourself in an interactive story about a hat.

[Galaxy S 5 General] da.trute:
I too have this up and running and where there a few apps and games currently available i can see its potential is huge. Shadow Gun looks great, i do have a Bluetooth controller however the main problem I have is that once the phone is in the cardboard unit you have to constantly take it in and out to open and close apps, my controller doenst have all the correct buttons mapped to browse android properly. Can anyone recommend a cheap bluetooth controller which has keys and also works as a gamepad, big ask?

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] Aeyan Ashraf:
Hello Jackeagle ,

I wanted to ask you a couple of questions -

1)This banimation is for custom ROMs only bcoz I think for stock roms we need 2 .qmg files .

2)I want to ask u that why u have changed the resolution of pics to 480x292? Is there a specific reason for that bcoz grand's res. is 800x400(approx)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] jackeagle:
Hello Aeyan Ashraf,

Answers to your question is as follows,

1) No the bootanimation can be used in stock too has stock can have either .qmg file or .zip file. Regarding flashing this one you can try it and see have a backup before doing it and do let me know too has i m not on stock righ noe i cant check it. otherwise just take bootanimation.zip from my flashable zip and copy it to system/media and change permission to rw-r-r. backup and remove .qmg file.:):)

2) yeah there is a reason for that. The thing is that Nexus devices have that bootanimation in center with Res 625X380 were has our device has 480X800 Res so i resized lower resolution ( Width) to 480 Res which changes Automatically other one to 292 for better Image. U can't resize to 480X800 Res it can spoil the quality of Image. No probs with this has it is inside the max Res of device..;):):):)

Any doubts feel free to ask:):cool:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] Aeyan Ashraf:
Yes , I've 1 doubt . I'm porting it to my tab 3 P5210 . It has 1280x800 res. So , of Which res. should I resize the pics to ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] jackeagle:
the max resolution of original bootanimation is 625X380 try to resize to 900X600 or 800X500 and see how it looks but there will loss of quality though...:)

Hi,

did anyone manage it? For me it works fine via USB, but not via BT.

When I press "Connect" on my PPC a Bluetooth PAN with my notebook is established. Everything looks fine exept the notebook doesn't receive any data.

Switching the Bluetooth PAN in Internet Sharing back to USB, WinXP recognizes a internet sharing device and everything runs like a charme.

What's wrong?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] prmedloc:
I've just been using it via bluetooth, works very well.

I do find bluetooth related things very variable though. To set it up on this occasion I had to get the phone to discover the pc, only then could I get the pc to discover even though I had the phone in discoverable.

I was then offered the PAN service from the phone on the PC and it created an icon on the desktop.

Hi,

It's kinda weird that ODIN isn't recognizing your device, KNOX wouldn't be a problem there. You said you tried different cables, different USB ports and different computers, but did you try a different ODIN version? It may be the main cause of your issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxell505:
Hi everyone. About a week ago I got the 4.4.3 update for my Nexus 5. I was on vacation than and had very poor wifi and very poor data connection so I could not download it. Once I got home, I got the notification that there was an update so I downloaded it and than it asked me to restart and install. My phone is rooted so it booted me into ClockWorkMod Recovery. I read on the bottom that it said "Signature verification failed" and than on the top it asked me if I want to install the untrusted zip file. I said yes I do want to install. So when I clicked yes, a bunch of stuff came up on the bottom including the file name for 4.4.3 and than after that it just said "installation aborted". I looked online for solutions and one person said to go into clockworkmod and navigate to the option for signature verification and make it disabled. I did that and booted into my phone and the update notification would not come. I went into my settings and into about phone and clicked on system updates but it just said that "your system is up to date". So I am still running 4.4.2 stock right now. I dont know if this matters but I do have xposed framework installed and I have gravitybox and snapshare modules loaded on. I have a lot of tweaks from gravitybox. Is there a way I can get the latest version of Android for my Nexus without having to go through this process. Thank you all.

Everything looks great and runs well. The only problem is that LTE doesn't work. When I turn it on, I lose data. I also have to turn the data off/on to get 3G to work again (and it doesn't always).

In looking at the drdevs list, I noticed that the latest nightly builds for 3.1 are here:

However, the "current version" in the thread above points to the nightly build for the cdma-unified:

Thanks for the tip! I tried changing that, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I was able to get 3G back by going into the Mobile network settings and changing the preferred network type to CDMA/EvDo auto (it was on global).

However, as soon as I turn on LTE (using the toggle), the data drops to 1x for a moment and then is gone. I have to then disable LTE, turn off the data, and put it in airplane mode and back out again to reset.

If you S-Off you could try to upgrade to 1.55 and if you do not like it you can roll back to 1.44. It does take a little work tho.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rlnorthcutt23:
I am s-off, unlocked, and rooted... so no worries there! I will try upgrading hboot, and let you know. Thanks for the help!

If that doesn't help, do you think its worth trying to change the radio?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fryguy503:
Changing Radios is easier then hboot, that is just a recovery flash away. YMMV on which combo works the best for you, its subjective in many ways. But I prefer it with 1.55/1.00.20.1108 -- 1.56 had this weird thing where the signal would fluctuate alot. Should not be related, but it stopped when i reverted to 1.55.

Honestly I never had or at least remember having 1.44 so i cannot Compare.
