Sony has released Remote Play for all phones officially. Download it from the Play Store. Hide it in Magisk AND hide Magisk Manager if you're rooted or it'll error. And it should work over USB with the DS4 controller. You need Android 10 to play via Bluetooth.
[Android Apps and Games] TheDevil259:
Actually the controller won't even work over USB if you're not on Android 10 or higher. You'll just get an error message saying that your device does not support Dualshock 4.

Thus you can only use touch controls if you're using an older version of Android.

Source: Tried it myself on my OnePlus 5T with Android 9
[Android Apps and Games] meowone:
Controller works on USB in Android 9 if you have an older version of Dualshock 4.

Source: tried it on my Note 10+ and Tab S4
[Android Apps and Games] stajam:
Hello all, Does anyone know where I can download the updated version of app? I've tried both of the links in the OP but says file not found. Tried the older version, but when installed it keeps telling me that I have to update the app. I have the Verizon Note 8. Not rooted. Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
Yeah, right here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playstation.remoteplay
[Android Apps and Games] stajam:
thanks for the reply but actually I was looking for the one that will allow me to be away from my PS4 and not have to be on my Wi-Fi. The one on Google play is the one that makes you have to be on the same Wi-Fi network as your PS4. I want to be able to use my phone to play my PS4 while I am away from the house.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
All modding projects have been abandoned. Pstreamer.app is your only shot until Repl4y is finished in development.
[Android Apps and Games] atakan1986:
and i hide remoteplay in magisk and it Manager itself also hide/repacked it and it doesn't worked for me and some others
[Android Apps and Games] stajam:
Thank you for the info. I will give Pstreamer.app a shot and see what happens. Thanks again.:good:
[Android Apps and Games] DJesri13:
I know this is probably the wrong thread but.. I am using an Xperia XZ Premium. I was able to use the app with an unlocked bootloader, but I downloaded magisk to hide it and use Android pay. Now remote play force closes with an error message upon opening. I hid all PS apps and am using magisk hide. Any idea of there is a non PS don't app that needs to be magisk hid? The error I get is:

An error has occured.

(88001003)

I'm pretty sure it is just because it seems magisk. I know I could use PStreamer if I can't get it to work but I at least want to try. Thanks for any help
[Android Apps and Games] TheDevil259:
You also need to hide the Magisk Manager app. You can find this option in the settings of Magsik Manager.
[Android Apps and Games] DJesri13:
I already did, thanks for the help though. Sorry for my late response
[Android Apps and Games] Datastream33:
Do you think it's possible to remove the wifi only restriction from Remote Play (play store version)?

In addition, does anyone know how to use the Android version of Remote Play to access the PS4 outside of the WIFI network?
[Android Apps and Games] DigiPooch:
I'm also trying to figure this out. I have pixel 2xl. Installed Magisk and I also installed Edxposed to try the wifi spoofer I used a while back, but it hasn't been updated in a long long time and doesn't seem to work currently. I haven't been able to find any alternatives in either Magisk or Xposed framework. I've tried changing network settings and fingerprint, as well as disabling different network permissions in remote play, but no method has worked for me yet and now it's at a point where I have no idea what else to try. Would love any advice if anyone's had success figuring this out :)
[Android Apps and Games] LAwLB15:
Use PStreamer

https://www.pstreamer.app/

Its a new PS4 remote play app that has button mapping so u can use any controller you want, can customize the on screen controls, set up multiple PSN IDs AND it lets you play over mobile data:fingers-crossed:

and best of all it doesn't need root
[Android Apps and Games] atakan1986:
And the best of all it wants 11.99$ after 14 days
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
The original Remote Play modder for Android is building his own too. The Windows version is $16.

Or ya know... Build your own?

Considering Sony could seek legal action or in some way try to kill these 3rd party projects, the money they're asking isn't that bad. I get it's a lot of money for an app and a lot to lose if they're shut down. But $1 or $2 won't cover possible legal costs or the amount of work put into reverse engineering this feature.

New 3rd Party Remote Play client called PSPlay available

For all of you who are interested I developed PSPlay a 3rd Party Remote Play app. Took me one year but now the first alpha version is available. This is the promo alpha version week so the app will be available for free until next week. Just check it out

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=psplay.grill.com

The app comes with 3rd Party controller support, mobile network support and many more features. Lot of effort was spent in providing low latency and smooth streaming experience. I will constantly improve PSPlay and I will try to build in more features as soon as possible. Introduction video and YouTube video will be published soon. Hope you enjoy it. If you like it recommend PSPlay or rate it in the Play Store :)

Any Android TV support planned? Would love to remote play on my Mi Box when the main TV is occupied.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Yes maybe in the future. I do not have a test Android TV device that's why it is currently not supported. But in the future it will be probably. Need to buy a test device I guess.

Edit: and of course it is definitely my work and my own implementation no rip off of someones other app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
I'd be willing to test the Android TV build if you start one.
[Android Apps and Games] atakan1986:
Why delete?

Thx grill i can now play my legal bought ps4 .
[Android Apps and Games] lycantrophic:
Thanks Grill for the application. I will immediately test it out when i'm home, hope it works; need to use an external controller. Dualshock doesn't work on MIUI unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Cool. FYI a new version with some bug fixes and enhanced controller support will be released until tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] lycantrophic:
Great. Your app is what Sony should have done. I couldn't get the cellular to connect, but 3rd party controller works great. Thank you for this.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Update will be released tonight, it was a little bit delayed because I added Dualshock 10 Touchpad support for Android 10.

In regard to the Internet connection you can find more information here. Playing over the internet requires some configuration on your router (port forwarding).

PSPlay can't configure this automatically for you currently so you have to configure it manually.
[Android Apps and Games] McRoy:
Thanks!!

But It seems to not to be free right now

I am excited by trying it out home
[Android Apps and Games] McRoy:
It isnt free right now? I thought that it will be free for a week! Please let us try for free
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
It was free for a week but the alpha test week is over. I wanted to make the promo last 2 weeks but the maximum allowed promo time on Google Play is one week. Sorry for that. There were many testers and I got enough feedback. Currently working on the next update and next features.

You can find the updated here
[Android Apps and Games] McRoy:
Ohh doesnt matter

Thank you, I know you worked hard last year to develop it. It will be helpfull for me to play out home some games! And I hope that with 100Mbps upload speed will be enought to play offline games without much lag

I will buy it then, but keep updating it! That will be the future of the app
[Android Apps and Games] checkatillo:
As you've stating that your app is under development and may be unstable, can you please mark it as supporting the Android TV so that we can install it to Mi Box and test ourselves?

As you don't give an APK file, there's no easy way to side-load it to Android TV
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
I already bought some Android TV test devices. Currently waiting for them to arrive. I will provide a version for Android TV soon and it will then also appear on the store. Can't promise when it will be ready but I will try my best.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
I published a new PSPlay version with Android TV support. It should be available in a few hours in the Play Store.

Here is the link again:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=psplay.grill.com

I've also uploaded a short introduction video on YouTube:

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/i4YCRBSNBj4[/YOUTUBE]

I've tested on a Xiaomi MiBox device and on a Nvidia Shield device. In case there are any bugs or errors on some other Android TV devices just let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Brilliant, can it be used with the ps4 controller using Bluetooth or must it be wired via USB?

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

Can I use a Pega Bluetooth controller instead of a official dual shock? I have the Nvida shield TV and a Pega controller with a 10 inch tablet... I do also have an official dual shock.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Sure Bluetooth is supported as well. On Android TV devices it should be okay but on many other Android devices a connected Bluetooth device while streaming introduces huge delays in both the stream and the controller handling, this is because of some hardware limitations on many Android devices and there is nothing I can do about it, if you suffer from this issue, beside to suggest to use a wired controller. Anyway, as I said Android TV devices and most tablets should work well with a connected Bluetooth controller.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Thank you, I made the purchase earlier morning, I had a lot of free credits from Google surveys.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
I have purchased the app and it shows on my Android 10 phone, but PSplay does not show in the store on the Nvidia shield tv? I think you mentioned you had tested it on the Shield TV?
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Yes you are right. I currently checked and it seems it is still in verification process. Google checks if PSPlay is compatible with TV devices will take some time I guess but should be visible on the Play Store for TV devices soon.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Thank you for your reply, I thought it would be worth giving you some feedback.

I have tested the APP on two Android devices, oneplus 7t (snapdragon 855) App works great, very happy does the trick using a 5Ghz connection, works better than the official app, 60fps , very little latency , PS4 PRO ...Very happy 60fps 720p or 1080p

But when using with my Samsung Tab S2 (SM-t815), Latency is fine, connects no issues, but no matter which resolution or bit rate, or FPS the screen will pixelate every say 20 to 30 seconds, making game a bit unplayable and making for a very annoying distraction, what I can say, of course my two android devices are very different in specifications, but both use 5GHZ wifi, no issue with another streaming app called Moonlight (used for PC streaming) I can use my Tab s2 with 60fps, 1080p or 1440p (QXGA display) with no issues or noticeable regular Pixelation, so I do not feel it is a hardware issue. (very little background task, tablet only used for steaming)

I am guessing the app is more optimized towards Snapdragon devices, whereas the UK version of the Samsung Tab S2 as a Samsung EXYNO5433 CPU, stil pretty capable and fast enough with Moonlight when streaming the PC (RTX 2080ti Graphics)

I will say great app, lots of good options and settings.

WIll you be optimizing the app towards Samsung CPUS in the future?

PS , one other quick question, on an android touch screen device, the touch pad on the PS4 is well emulated, just tap the screen in the correct place and it works in games , but I am wondering if a non PS4 controller is used with say the Nvidia Shield TV, how will that feature be emulated ? As it is pretty often used in games, for example Borderlands 3 requires the touchpad to be pressed to pop up the inventory / maps etc.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Thank you for your detailed feedback. To be honest I also have two Samsung test devices and on my test devices I works fine. When exactly does that Pixelation occur? When you do nothing or even when you move around (with your character for example)? Anyway I have some ideas why this happens, first of all do you have a Bluetooth device connected while streaming? If yes try to remove it and try again. Second, quit PSPlay, put your device in flight mode, wait a couple of seconds, deactivate the flight mode and reconnect with your WiFi and check what are the results.

In regard to the optimization, PSPlay uses hardware video decoding, which hardware decoder a device is using is different, some of them are good and some of them are quite bad. However, this should not be a real problem anymore since Android 5.0. You can do some optimization for different hardware decoders but I expect that this problem is related to something else.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Hi, thank you for your reply, when testing both devices I used the same Bluetooth controller and the same 5ghz WiFi (tab has no password for the 2.4ghz), the Samsung tab device is in flight mode all the time, with the WiFi and Bluetooth switched on,i only the tablet for streaming, most of the pre installed apps are disabled or removed, with just Moonlight and PSplay installed.

I have not yet tested the Samsung tablet whilst just stood still in the game with no movement.

My main comparison really is that Moonlight shows none of the pixilated issues and is smooth with the same hardware, controller and 5ghz connection.

My ps4 and pc are both wired into my network in the same room to the same router.

I am overall very pleased with the app, ideally though gaming on a 9. 7 inch is better than my oneplus 7t 6.7 inch display.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
I see, maybe you could test following scenarios on your tablet

1. Try it with no Bluetooth device connected (ideally with Bluetooth disabled)

2. When you are in flight mode all the time, try to disable WiFi and re-enable it again afterwards. Try again and check if the pixelation still occurs. I know some of these suggestions sounds weird but believe me I went through many different weird things while testing PSPlay on different devices. There are even device specific things which are sometimes hard to fix or not very easy to reproduce. But maybe I can track down the issue with your help as I do not own a Samsung tablet test device.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
I shall give that a test and also fully reboot the tablet in a day or so, thank you for your help and support.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Okay, I have done as you suggested, I have tried with no Bluetooth switched on, using on screen controls only, same issue with the picture artifacts, I also tried on off with the WiFi, same issue, I tried with my power cable plugged in, same issue...

One thing I can say, for example I'm playing borderlands 3, I have a pet in the game, the pet will roam around the screen... So what I did was simply to leave the screen on, with the pet roaming around, so some movement on the screen.... I watched for 5 minutes.... No issues no artifacts on the screen.perfect .. Then I moved around using the onscreen controls, within 10 seconds artifacts... So I thought hmmm, let's leave the screen on with artifacts on place, will they correct themselves.... Waited 5 minutes, they did not change, moved around on screen, the artifacts went away, waited 5 minutes screen was perfect... Moved, then artifacts...

Based on that, it is not my connection or the Bluetooth... It is something else.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

Also how do you turn off touch vibration in the app, the pad vibrates with the onscreen controls on both devices.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Thanks for your detailed feedback. Moving around sometimes triggers and idr frame in the h264 stream which refreshes the stream. However I do not know why this happens only on this device and on others it works well.

It can only be something device specific but I can't reproduce it on one of my test devices.

I will add a feature in the next version where you can request idr frames periodically. If you enable this it will increase the bandwidth so it should only be activated when there are problems with artifacts. Do not know why it works on moonlight though.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Sounds great, great app, really appreciate all your hard work.

Do you know how to turn off the vibrate on the on screen controller, I don't have touch to vibrate on in either of my devices main settings, but when using the apps on screen controller, the device vibrates on touch.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Yes, you can deactivate the vibration in the settings for each button individually.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
I have just downloaded the update, I've not had chance to test, but it mentions in the store text about, signing up for the beta, but I cannot see the option on how to sign up for the beta..

Also would it be worth having the onscreen controller vibration set to off by default? As it is quite distracting when using the them and getting a vibration each time to press a button.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
You do not need to sign up. My beta test is an open beta test available for everyone with access to Google Play.

Not sure about it, for me having the vibration feedback is useful as you do not have any other haptic feedback for the onscreen buttons. I decided to let them vibrate by default but of course that's just a personal opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] atakan1986:
You can disable the Vibration in the settings section.

You must disable the vibration for every Button (cursor,trigger etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Just wondering, any update on when the app will be available for the Nvidia shield TV / android TV ?
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
About 4 days ago - used it on my Mi Box 3 but no way to get to the PS button or touch pad without a DS4 controller
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
I tried on my Nvida shield TV, after the update, it did not show in the store.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
As far as I know it is available on the store for all Android tv devices and on Nvidia shield it should be available too. For the missing ps button and touchpad button I will add a new update soon where you can use some on screen buttons for that. Touchpad movements will probably not work on Android TV devices. I do not have an idea for a useful workaround yet. If you have one just let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
When using the nvidia shield controller, one of the buttons turns the controller into mouse and keyboard mode, perhaps that could be utilised..
[Android Apps and Games] LAwLB15:
Can you add xbox one controller support please
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Okay, I have installed the app onto my 2015 Nvidia shield TV, overall works great with a official PS4 DS controller, I played a high speed FPS borderlands 3,streaming from my ps4 pro (controller via Bluetooth) , using a wired network connection (via powerline adapter)

No real signs of lag at 1080p 60fps, with real time decoding...

Couple of things though, on a ps4 controller when holding down the PS home button, the nvidia shield tv, overrides this press and sees it as a press to go to the home screen of the shield as opposed to the home screen of the ps4... Main need for this is to put the ps4 in rest without put the need to turn off the game or to go to the home screen to either turn off the console or put it into rest mode.

I'm using a 4k TV, so I was wondering, is it possible to add higher bit rates, as it looks good, but it would be ideal if it looked a bit better..

I guess this won't be possible, but any chance of adding 1440p and 2160p for the video output, as I imagine up scaling is causing some of the loss of picture quality.

Overall though,very impressive.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Okay thank you for the update. I'm aware that the shield is overriding the PS button and interprets them as home button. Unfortunately, there is no reliable way of overriding the home button on Android devices as far as I know (that's a security mechanism). The only option what I see is that I will add the navigation bar on the bottom (like PSPlay on regular smartphones) where you can trigger the PS button and the touchpad button with your TV remote control.

Higher bit rate will be possible and will be added in a future version. Increasing the resolution is unfortunately not possible as the PS4 is only able to stream in 1080p on a pro PS4 and in 720p on standard ones. So this is a limitation for the PS4 itself.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Higher bit rate would be excellent, as the current bit rate is great for phones and tablets, but when playing on a 43 inch screen TV, the bit rate is fine, but it does look a bit muddy in particular on background objects and when moving around.

Just out of interest what is the highest possible bit rate on the app currently? And what is the max you can make the app do?

Is it worth adding a note next to each bit rate the actual bit rate in figures too?

Then users can pick according to their bandwidth...

One other quick thing, when using the app on the nvidia shield, the highlight option does not show very well when picking options in the app, I think it is currently perhaps just a light grey, might be worth making that a little darker to clearly show which option you are on.

Ps and thank you for your fast reply.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
The max value what the official client is sending to the PS4 as far as I know is 15000 and PSPlay is using max 10000 for now (but I think these values does not really correspond to the real bitrate but the PS4 uses these values to adjust the bitrate). The real client is adjusting the bitrate while streaming. PSPlay is currently not adjusting the stream quality but I'm working on it. (but you will be able to deactivate this then in the settings if you do not want to auto adjust the streaming quality).

Sure I can enhance these highlight features, where especially? Buttons or in the settings?
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
I currently have the option for bit rate set to best, I turned off auto.

With regards to menu, it is when you first start up the app and use the burger menu to go into settings, I think there is perhaps five or six sub menu options, when highlighted it is very close to the default white option.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Okay I see, the auto means that (at the moment) the bitrate will be chosen what fits best for your current resolution. If you choose Best then no matter which resolution you will choose it will always be 10000 (which is Best at the moment) .

Okay I see, I will try to improve this in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Could you please add the option for 15000 for the bit rate, as it would add a lot of extra quality to the picture.
[Android Apps and Games] grill2010:
Yes, like I said I will add it in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] justwondering:
Brilliant Thank you, I shall let you know how it works.
