Basically for some reason it tries to cast ActionBarView to a Toolbar. Only specific Samsung devices on AOSP based ROMs do this, and I have no idea why. The fix is to add an empty catch statement (essentially running the line and if it fails, ignoring it), which appears to make no difference to how the app works but fixes the fault. I'll add that in the next update.

Im using G5 model by LG electronics (non-Samsung device). I downloaded the latest version of MOD gear 360 and app was installed properly but after tried to open the app and the screen says " samsung accessaries service installing" keeps going on and on and never comes to end....

Anybody please help me
[Android Software Development] hotmilkgt:
I'm using LG G6 and trying to view the Gallery on the Gear 360. I'm suppose to connect to the WiFi of the camera but I don't know how to figure out what the password is.. does anyone know how to find out what the WiFi of the camera is??
[Android Software Development] madhorse:
You should install Samsung services from the market before the mod installation.

[Android Software Development] masiegel:
you have to put the camera in to iOS Mode, there you can see the password for wifi
[Android Software Development] hotmilkgt:
Thanks!!! Got that working now. I figured out the way to save images but how do you transfer video from the camera to the phone?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Same way you do photos, open the video and hit the download button
[Android Software Development] Frannny:
Hi Quinny,

works great with my Huawei Mate 9. Good job!

I have the 2016 camera and run Android 8.0.

One thing, the HDR on seems to make no difference.

When I take interior shots, the windows stay to bright.

Usually HDR solves this.

Not sure if the original app from Samsung handels this better.

Would be great if you can fix that.

Thanks,

Frannny
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
As far as I know, HDR works. All the other settings do and the option doesn't crash the app, so there's a pretty high chance that it's working but the camera's HDR isn't great. If anyone has access to a Samsung device to test this and finds it doesn't work, I'll look into it
[Android Software Development] Frannny:
Thanks for the answer.

I tried it today and with HDR on or off seems to make no difference.

Would be great if you have success in fixing. :)
[Android Software Development] holonur:
Hi, thank you for this app.

I'm testing it in a gear 360 2017 and in a Huawei P10, I could make the live view and the gallery work the first time I installed it through forcing wifi direct, but now it doesn't work anymore. I've tried uninstalling the app and connecting like if it were an iPhone, and uninstalling and reinstalling again with a lot of combinations, but It can't connect to wifi direct, it appears as connecting but then the camera disappear from the wifi direct connection list. To make it clear, all the other features work, except gallery and the live view of the camera.

Anyone was in the same situation and solved it?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] tonimonton:
How can I put the camera in IOS mode?
[Android Software Development] jamesmcuk:
Q: I have a 2017 camera and don't know the password for its WiFi!

A: Switch your camera to iOS mode (on the camera itself, using the menu). It will display a password, write that down. Switch back to the normal mode and continue as normal, entering the WiFi password you wrote down when prompted

Hi Q899,

Thank you very much for your job!

I have a 2016 model with C200GLU0APE4 firmware. When I want to play a 360 video on my phone from the camera, the app crashes.

My phone is an unrooted Moto G4 Plus.

Hi, I've made a logcat since the start of the app in my Huawei P10.

Using the command: adb logcat | find "samsung"

The app mod settings are the following:

force wifi direct: on

override camera recognition: 2nd gen 2017

always show live broadcast: off

automatically open settings: on

Here is the logcat file:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tl4J47_IvDNySf7y_7XIWgzhEXxV6zH6/view?usp=sharing

I've developed some minor apps in Java, I know a little bit of it. But never mobile. If I can help you debug in some better way, please tell me.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Stuck on install

Hi, I keep on been stuck on this "Installing Samsung accessory services..." screen and now it has already been almost a full day..... I am using an Huawei Mate 10 lite running Android 7.0

[IMG="screenshot"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AHQdSXXfm2wW7Rj758c830tFmTNQCBaF/view?usp=drivesdk[/IMG]

Is it all normal and it's just a matter of time?

Thank you

Andrea
[Android Software Development] smaidana86:
Hi Zani76, the same thing happened to me until I understood that the Samsung Accessory Service app must first be installed (I can not copy the link, but you can find it in the play store). After doing so I installed the mod and opened the app, I still could not test the features because I did not receive the camera, but for now I know it works.

Greetings.

Sergio
[Android Software Development] mule5:
First off let me say thank you for porting this application and all the effort you put into this. I appreciate it, and wouldn't have bought the device without this port being available. Truly great work.

I upgraded this morning from 1.0.00.18 to 1.1.00.5 to see if the hanging on 99% for video saving would end quicker, or complete at all, but any time in gallery I click on any item to view or save, the app crashes immediately after press/release. I was testing with a very small video file, 7 seconds at most, and left my Pixel churn for more than 30 minutes in 1.0.00.18 to get it to finalize that last 1%, it just never happens, lol. The battery in my new gear 360 2017 model dies before it can complete, even when starting at 100%. The strange thing is that I can play the video in photos app when it's at 99% no problems, but as soon as I cancel it, the video no longer plays. I am even able to share the video from the photos app out to google drive, full size, and it plays equirectangular in vlc.

I have also tried to not select any items, and choose the "edit" from the top right settings stack, but same issue, app crash/restarts. I thought that maybe since I had a couple hundred 360 photos and 6 videos on the sd card, it was somehow too much for the little guy to handle and thumbnail each gallery load, that I wiped those out to test with just one image. No luck.

I am on a Pixel XL 8.1 January 5th patch level.

I don't have logcat ability at the moment to supply logs. I am going to revert to 1.0.00.18 to see if the issue regresses.
[Android Software Development] rschouten:
I have it working somewhat on a Google Pixel 2 running Android Oreo. I can connect and can click on the camera in the notification bar to take a picture. The problems I am seeing are as follows:

1. Camera shows loading and then switches over to Wifi to manually connect to Wifi AP. I connect and turn off Cellular data but it keeps popping back to Wifi settings with a toast showing to manually connect to the wifi.

2. Gallery starts the same with loading but it will come back to the gallery and the Gear360 shows No Items. Even though there are pictures and video on the camera

3. Live broadcast behaves the same as the camera menu. Loading shows but keeps switching back to manually wifi connection.

4. After trying one of the options above the app keeps switching to the manual wifi connect periodically while the app is open.

Thanks for your work, I am looking forward to fully be able to use my camera.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
On a samsung phone? I remember a bug that sounds identical to that from a while ago, turned out to be a bug in the samsung settings app

There's definitely something strange happening in the final 1%, need to do more testing there. When you play the video before cancelling, is it the full length or is it cut?

It repeatedly opening the WiFi settings is it not connecting. Are you actually connecting to the camera? It's not automatic, you have to manually tap it to connect. If that doesn't work, you can try the WiFi direct mode, that works on my Pixel 2 XL on Oreo
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
WiFi direct is very buggy on some devices. To make it re-connect, you often have to forget previous connections for it to even show, and repeat until it works. If your device works with Soft AP (WiFi direct force disabled), that is the much preferred method.
[Android Software Development] mule5:
I only tested with a somewhat small video, so I can't be 100% sure it's not cut, but it plays and seems complete to me.

Thé pairing code gear 360/2016 pairing fail
[Android Software Development] mule5:
The file doesn't appear to be cut or broken. I made a 10 second video. I installed the 1.0.00.18 build and I am connected via WiFi direct. I am now able to click an item in gallery without crashing, and download it to my phone. It's still downloading now in fact, 15 minutes after the 99% and still going, but once at 99% I can open the video in COLLECT for editing without a warning or error. I can also upload it to drive. I think the process is just not finalizing after the last bit of data has been written.
[Android Software Development] rschouten:
Yeah it shows it connected to the camera but still kept popping up. I found the WiFi direct option going through the screenshots from the main post and enabled it and that works much better. The app still crashes from time to time but I can actually use the camera now.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The pairing code is nothing to do with this app, that's just standard Bluetooth. Make sure you're definitely entering it right, it will be displayed on the camera
[Android Software Development] zani76:
Solved!! Thanks a lot!!

Wifi does not work

Hello first of all, thank you very much for that app, I know a big mistake when buying it without considering this compatibility. I have a mobile Blu Lif One X2 Mini, I have been able to run the app, but when selecting a camera or live broadcast try to connect to the wifi (which I can do with the trick of making the IOS connection) but nothing happens then and every 20 seconds he asks to connect again.

On the other hand in Settings, when trying to open the Mod Settings it gives an error "Unfortunately the Samsung Gear 360 application stopped" and returns to the selection screen of the app.

What could I do to solve it?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Can you send a logcat? Also what version of the mod are you using?
[Android Software Development] 08BajaBoy:
View file directly from SD card

Does anyone know why you can't just take the SD card out, pop it into any other device like a laptop, and simply view the video? I can see pictures taken on Gear 360 and for videos, I can hear the audio but the video is black. Is there something wrong with my camera or is it Samsung requires you to push the video through the Gear App first and then you can view it. I have the 2017 Gear 360 and a Google Pixel XL.
[Android Software Development] tramos:
I have a 2016 version of the camera. The latest version does not work very well on my Note 4 (not rooted). I have problem connecting to the camera's wifi network. I have to force close the app and turn on/off the camera often to get it to work.

Anyway, I uninstalled the 1.1.00.5 version and the latest samsung accessory service then installed the 4k Wifi Direct and samsung accessory service version 3.1.66.70830 and it works great! It glitches sometimes but at least I got a working app that does not crash on me all the time. Stitching works too. Usually it will crash at 29% but not this time. I've successfully stitched a few videos without it crashing. Only thing that seems to be not working (or maybe it's a bug in the app) for me is when I look at the details of the video it says it's a 2K not 4K. I look at the camera settings and it says 3840 x 2160.

Thanks to the Dev for making this all possible. :D
[Android Software Development] jaja0001:
Hello, thank you for the app. However, I'm not able to use it neither with my Samsung A3 (Android 6), nor Samsung A5 (Android 7), because I can't download the Samsung Accessory app - according to the google play it's not compatible with my phones. Is there some way how to solve this? I have the older version of the camera.

Thank you in advance.
[Android Software Development] jamesmcuk:
Go to Apkmirror and download latest version there

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Even if it did work you would just have 2 video spheres so you need to stitch it in Actiondirector or other stiching app. That said you dont have to plug the camera in to do that you can as you say just use the sd card. Perhaps install media player classic or vlc to view the videos before stitching but they wont really be usable.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Not true actually, the Windows video player has a 360 mode that worked fine. But for some reason the player can no longer play the 360 videos, maybe a Windows update broke it.
[Android Software Development] midijunkie:
Hi,

thank you very much for the app. I'm new to the show. Got a cheap 2016er. Is it possible to copy the videos to my phone (pixel 2/android 8.1)? It works with pictures (there's a button) but I don't see anything with videos. When I long press in the gallery I get a force close.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software Development] carnedeburra:
Yes you can. but you have to use a little trick. When you stay at 99% open the file browser and you will find the video in the folder gear360. Copy the video to another folder and return to the app. you can cancel the process Sorry for my English

Galaxy Note Edge Accessory Service Issue

On my Galaxy note Edge, I get the eternal "Installing Samsung Accessory Service" issue. I've tried all the available APKs to install it, and all the ones below those for Nougat do the same. If I install the first one for Nougat or newer, the app crashes instantly.

I've searched the thread but I see no answer.

Thanks for your efforts on the app!

Just a quick update or any Note 4 ppl. I have the 2017 Cam and I wiped my phone completely. Install LineageOS latest version. Installed lastest Mod from here Installed Lastest Sam accessory Service from ApKmirror. and it wouldn't load up as before but thistime with a different error. Used buildprop editor to change any mention of samsung to cmsamsung and any mention of trlte to cmtrlte in the Build section of the buildprop file. Rebooted and I can now load the app and connect to camera.

However any of the options simply come up with loading then opens my wifi settings and asks me to connect to the camera it connects - i go back to the app and the cycle repeats. I have turned off mobile data and it stays connected to the camera but keeps taking me to the wifi page as though its not connected. Wifi direct the camera doesn't show up in the peers list.
