if you can share on mega, whould be helpful

https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding maybe have some informationa about it

--

just to know, is it possible to try contact some developer from samsung just to ask simple tips to facilitate achieve key goals? just an "hi, can you help change the gear 360 firmware and compile to stream the video?" don't know

maybe some friendly developer can just help or maybe a paid consulting about (in my opinion) allow use the camera as webcam like device and allow rtsp/mpeg/stream server.

and how about use the OSC api, like street view connection? maybe can solve all the problems if this api is avaliable to access and control the camera.

In packages, usr, share, doc, found gstreamer-0.10.36 folder, and after it in usr, inclusve, gstreamer-0.10, just imagining if change the config to allow share the video stream, and generating the firmware would help to get the stream without app.

found in etc, bluetooth, file main.conf with several properties that could help to change the way the bluetooth send data.

searching osc api informations, maybe can make a html page with imagem (when you connect wifi streetview mode, you have 192.168.43.1 address but returns http erro 400)

I'm know programming a little, if someone know more about linux to help the change I can help investigate and make some suggestions

Is this dead or is there a chance my camera is not headed to the scrap pile
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
In general modding the cameras is not dead, but there will be no further version updates for the app mod as newer versions can't be modded as easily.
[Android Software Development] MichaelJMAD:
What sort of mods are available?
[Android Software Development] TurboDogg:
Got a new Android phone (Fold 4) and it keeps erroring out when trying to make a connection to the Gear 360. Am I just sol with this camera now? I've tried the app store app and this modded app.
[Android Software Development] christopherpm:
I'm in a similar-ish boat. Just found my Gear 360 after not using it for some time. My Note 20 Ultra will connect to the camera and will let me take photos, but as soon as I try to view the gallery, the app quits.

I think Samsung a really **** for abandoning the camera.
[Android Software Development] cadelele:
Sorry resurrecting this, but someone got any idea why my gear360 (2017) doesn't even show a wifi connection or Bluetooth one? I tried on a galaxy s8 - stock play store app, tried on ios stock app, and tried the mod app on my s20fe, but the problem is that the camera does not generate any wifi network or Bluetooth; if it is creating the network, it's not showing on any version of the app or even in the phone's wifi/BT menu.

(Firmware was updated using this thread instructions but the problem persisted)
[Android Software Development] niluss:
You have to hold Menu button for 2 seconds, to enable pairing, then you can cycle by pressing Menu button again (Connect to IOS means via wifi, Connect to Android means bluetooth) and click Record button to actually start the bluetooth/wifi of the device.
[Android Software Development] niluss:
Hi, i just want to provide an alternative if any of the apk does not work for you (didn't work for me on a xiaomi K40 Pro). I updated ottokiksmaler mod and my mod can be found at https://github.com/niluss/gear360_gallery_mod. You connect via wifi to the device and a link on a browser will show the gallery of files within the Gear 360. It has 360 viewer within the browser (works with chrome with opengl glsl 3). It offers download and also delete. No stitching is done for the downloaded file thou.
[Android Software Development] cadelele:
I know that. But, when I "turn on" pairing, no network is created. It didn't work on Android, ios and street view pairing mode. The camera even beeps a regular sound when pairing on ios mode, but doesn't show any new network on my iPhone.
[Android Software Development] niluss:
When I start to view available wifi, it kinda takes a while to show. But if it really does not show after waiting, then yeah it seems like a problem.
[Android Software Development] bostski:
This used to work for my Samsung S20 5G Android 12 about a year ago, but no longer does. Broke out my old LG G5 and it still works. I think one of the TMobile Samsung updates messed it up.
[Android Software Development] TheKerevas:
Hi everyone, I recently received a Gear 360 2017 with R210GLU0ARB2 firmware that I immediately reinstalled because I had some doubts that it was corrupt. I tried with this app to connect it with my POCO F4 GT (MIUI 13 A12), everything works but I can't open gallery and camera to see the Gear in real time, as soon as I connect to the WiFi it gets stuck on " Loading". Is there any way I can fix it?

P.S While I am using the official app on an iPhone 7 running iOS 15.7 and everything works smoothly and I am not seeing any limitations, however I would like to use it on my main smartphone
[Android Software Development] TheKerevas:
Hi I tried your mod and all the functions work, but I didn't understand if there is a possibility to see in live what the Gear sees. I tried with Opera and Chrome on my smartphone but I can't see anything...
[Android Software Development] niluss:
There is no live preview unfortunately. I don't really have knowledge in Tizen, and what I did is limited to html and ThreeJS and based on what the original mod had.

I tried to check the Quinny899's apk's source too, but there's just too much code, got overwhelmed and don't know where to look.

I tried on my son's phone recently, a redmi note 10 pro, and it doesn't also show the 360 view even thou he has updated chrome, and it does have opengl 3.2. The devices I have tested that worked where Android 12's, 2 custom roms and MIUI 13, I am not sure if it mattered. I will still have to check.
[Android Software Development] TheKerevas:
Luckily I have an iPhone 7 with which I can use the original application and it works 100%, even if there are bugs sometimes. Now I just have to remove the scratch on a lens and I don't know how do

Hi to everyone here.

I bought some years ago a gear 360 2016 and i never get time to get more to understand why i cannot connect wit the phone with it. Finally I got time... but cannot. Mai I ask. On my camera is the C200GLU0AQK1. I don't know wich versión. I was thinking maybe to change to C200GLU0APE4_160519_1848_REV00_user.bin. how do you think is it possible? It will work?

Mh problem is like almost for everybody here... the phone is connecting yo the camera but I cannot manage from any app... even in gearmode or with street view. Thanks in advance

Has anyone gotten their camera working on Android 13? Pixel 6 Pro here and can't get gallery or camera to work.

Hello everyone, I updated the smc 200, after that it does not turn on, please tell me how to return to its original state, flash if it does not turn on, thank you for earlier! P.S I'm sorry for the bad English.

Hi all, i have a 2017 version gear360 which i just pulled out the drawer and wanted to use again but it appears i can no longer use it as i have a Samsung s22 ultra now and the app is not supported. i tried the modded apk and could get the app started and connected to the camera but once the camera connects the app crashes. then everytime i open it after it just stops working. i can't seem to find much info and the entire web just points me back here.

software version according to the camera settings/about/ software is R210GLU0ARB2

the camera works as it should just cant use it as no software or apps

any help appreciated

thanks
[Android Software Development] stuttle33:
I know this thread is quite old, but when I updated my phone to Android 13 it broke. The 360 manager app sees the phone, connects, but then crashes, when trying to start the app it continues to crash. Any ideas? This is with on a Samsung Note 20 Ultra, Android 13, Samsung Gear 360 (2017), 1.4.00.4-FW Gear 360 Manager app, and R210GLU0ARB2 firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] dididocky:
sounds like the issue i have as per above post. also using Android 13 on my s22 ultra
[Android Software Development] natien:
I just successfully connected my Gear 360 (2016) to my Pixel 7 Pro. I had the same problems as you, constant loading, on the gallery and the live camera, then I simply disconnected the data connection from my SIM cards and deleted the connection on the already memorized available wifi networks.

Not just forcing the wifi on the camera connection, but cutting the data on the cards, it works perfectly

Watch my photoshop skins
[Android Software Development] tkalfaoglu:
Great job thank you! For me it was the opposite, WiFi direct was the only way to get live view and gallery working..
[Android Software Development] tkalfaoglu:
Btw, gallery crashes if I select the Phone tab. I tried both internal and external storage in settings. Same crash. Huawei p30 lite. Sd card configured as internal storage.

I understand that the Android 12 makes it a nightmare to write anywhere on the disk except the apps own folder. Can we make that folder configurable so we can specify where we want it to be saved? Maybe then the crash could be averted.. I don't mind having the videos/pictures 5 levels deep into the phone.
[Android Software Development] tkalfaoglu:
IMHO gallery is not THAT necessary. The camera looks like a USB drive when plugged in. In fact, mine came with a USB-C to USB-C cable! I suspect I can use that cable to transfer files from the camera to the phone.. Failing that, I can always transfer from the camera to the PC using a regular USB cable..
[Android Software Development] tkalfaoglu:
Are you guys able to stitch the files together? I mean is this camera still usable? I spent the day trying to find a working method: I have the videos on the SD card, I can copy them to the PC with a USB cable, but so far I have been unable to stitch them.. Under Linux or Windows (virtualbox). The Samsung's actiondirector program claims the videos are "bad" (VLC plays them fine, but as two circles).. and no other program seems to auto-stitch them..UPDATE: I got the director to work.
[Android Software Development] tkalfaoglu:
FINALLY I was able to get the "director" to work properly.

It was rejecting all *.MP4 files that the gear 360 was providing.

It turns out I had to BUY the decoder for windows.. I double clicked on a 360 file to open it in its videos program, and it told me that i had to buy a decoder for like 50 cents, which I did.. then the director was able to open the file and create the 360 panorama from the camera files.

All this under windows 10 running in a VirtualBox on a Linux Fedora host..
[Android Software Development] tkalfaoglu:
What needs to be done so that this app asks for permissions to access the sd card and the internal storage? It never asked for any permissions and i think that's why it crashes when I go into the gallery
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It's probably not a permissions issue. Post a log and I can probably see what it actually is.
[Android Software Development] tkalfaoglu:
Hi.. I got a logcat of my Gallery crash. When I click the PHONE tab, it closes up and the app restarts,,. Could you take a look?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
That's the same database issue as this, except it's fatal for you. No known solution unfortunately.

I've gotten everything to work except the connect to camera wifi thing. It wants me to update the firmware from apl1 but I haven't found the file to download on my pc to put in the root drive on the camera. I'm not sure if that is needed up update the wifi direct connection or if I wait long enough without wifi direct forced on the connecting/loading screen? So I'm good to go, but I'd like to be able to take remote pictures not in the frame with my phone, not the laptop so getting this last connection piece to work is appreciated if anyone has a fix for the cm-200 after getting it up and running past the wifi/Bluetooth connecting issue with the gallery and camera view. I'm stuck on the connecting part, but did manage to create a short vr tour on the laptop and manual shutter on the camera. Really would like the remote shutter access back in the app. Thoughts? Where did I miss something or still have to do something also, check my settings to be? Phone is an LG v60 thinkq phone.
[Android Software Development] Spite-Horror:
I'm having the same issue but with my LG v60 thinkq phone. Going on 5 minutes+ on the loading screen trying to connect app to camera. Can't see galleries in app from camera, have to use the pc haven't tried but I'm sure I can access the camera on the computer for remote shots, I just really want to get it working on the phone, worry about it on the pc never... I'll keep reading perhaps the answer is already here. Thanks all by the way. This has been extremely awesome seeing so many people all pitching in to solve a common problem.
[Android Software Development] Spite-Horror:
OK, so do I need to update the firmware first or the wifi settings with this connection issue. Hung up on the loading screen when trying to access the camera is firmware right? But if I can't connect properly, where is the firmware file to download to my pc and put it in the camera root directory. Link somewhere? Think I remeber seeing a list of firmware files but wasn't sure which worked with the first gen to give it all features. Thanks
[Android Software Development] Spite-Horror:
That .5 update says packet invalid trying to fix the no gallery/camera connection/wifi issue
[Android Software Development] Spite-Horror:
I figured out where I'm stuck with this build on the 2016 gen1... I only see 5 numbers for the wifi password & have issues with the direct connect I assume because of that. Are there 8 numbers? If so, why am I missing 3? Have you seen that be the issue before or is there some other network issue going on? Thanks again you rock!
[Android Software Development] Spite-Horror:
Oh my God wow... I can take pictures from the status bar, but in the app of u hit connect it says loading. Guess I forgot how basic this first gen 360 camera with an app was. SUPER JOB.

My problem, I was in an area with too many wifi signals from other people's networks and devices. But in the end, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and you'll be just fine, lol. And once you get it working, let it be, 😂 Thanks a million for this can't wait to be able to post my annual April 20th hike! So glad I don't have to trash this. Gonna duct tape it to a drone for fun! Can't wait!

Successful LG v60 thinkq phone port!
[Android Software Development] Spite-Horror:
Is there a way to keep street view after they take down those servers as well? Would we need to find hosting for the pictures, but would the app app work for creating tours, paths & spheres?. Lastly I am still having trouble with the gallery connecting without that 1st gen wifi password, gonna check 1 place I might have it, that's the only thing not working on an LG v60 thinkq is remote viewing of the camera gallery on the phone without a cable

It's probably looking for a Samsung method, the mod was never really designed to work on Samsung devices as those had official support.

Hi - I've had a Gear360 sitting on my desk for a long time and today decided to search for a modded app and found this thread - I have now sucessfully installed the app on my Samsung Galaxy S10 - I can connect to the bluetooth no problem but when I try Live View or gallery it just times out. Using Wifi Direct I did get the Live View and Gallery to work oince - I was able to take and view a pic but as soon as I tried to view a video (that was on the card from years ago) the app crashed.

Android Version 12

Gear 360 Firmware version - R210GLU0ARB2

I'm switching off mobile data altogether as advised by the app.

Is there anything else I can do - I feel like I could be mising something simple!

Should I format the card?

Hi, First of all sorry if this was answered million times but i couldn't find anything on about 20 pages I searched on so my apologize.

I have a Samsung A51 and a 2017 Gear 360 model. I installed (manually or through the app) samsung Accessory and ,whatever app I am installing (1.4.00.4,1.4.009 or even 1.5.00.1) the pairing process is successful and after the acceptance of general conditions the app crashes and it can't open anymore, crashing every time. Only possibility is to uninstall it and start all over again. Has anyone experienced this or a fix to share? Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] Spite-Horror:
The camera will no longer function as we'd like, nor the app. You can mod the crap out of the original app, but without Android 5-9, the OS on any Android device, I have access to, you will no longer be able to: see pictures on your phone from the camera unless you take out the SD card and transfer the files manually, connect to wifi or wifi direct, have a 'free' way to stitch, edit and create 360 tours (you can still take individual spherical pictures from street view for another 4 weeks (end March 2023). The picture will show up on street view as a single blue dot. They will not and no longer be, connected. Unless you know someone at Google, I personally do not know what is coming next for street view. I do know that when Google first announced it was killing street view, Samsung had already stopped supporting this device, thinking about manufacturing newer, better 360 cameras and folded to, not a company, but a country that is now using all this tech to leap frog the rest of the world.

If anyone has gotten the 360 app to function properly, it's not the 360 app anymore. It's their program. Hence all the software companies trying to sell 360 photographers monthly subscriptions to their software or software and camera combo (think matterport and you'll see why the gear 360 is now a novelty historical item). In short, the love of money and power won over the love of artistic creativity and human ingenuity. I can use my 1st gen 2016 gear 360 on my LG v60 thinkq phone (2020~1?) running Android 11, but I can only see files on the camera if using a micro SD card reader to my USB or USB c port/ direct connect camera to computer. Can I make the camera take a picture? Sure! Can I actually do anything with the file once created? Not easily... And they did that intentionally. Hope that helps explain

"What Happened to the Gear 360?". I would like to know what camera and software combos people are currently using, like matterport or Adobe & Roich Theta X, or softwarex & cameraX?

Do stay away from the Insta360, but especially it's software (it's like tiktok, but you're giving them 360° interior and exterior visuals of every photo, anyone takes with the camera, everywhere...

If you or anyone you know owns an insta360 or works with real estate agents/photographers/companies who do that kind of work & they use an Insta360 STOP WORKING WITH THEM IMMEDIATELY! Every picture they take is not only being used for the paid for intent, but because of the software for the camera, the file is also free property to CCP. They are acting as a foreign agent without knowing it!
