Uhm... strange. I installed the apk, it shows up on my apps list when I open the settings, but I get no Viewer app on my drawer so I have no idea how to launch it.

I also don't have the Gear headset, but was hoping it would allow me to see the pics and videos on a cardboard.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
There is no launch activity, you have to open an image or video with it using a file manager

Stock 7.1.1, works fine
[Android Software Development] sambartle:
Thanks for the confirmation

In that case the problem seems to be my camera itself. I have now tried a couple of different phones, and your APKs do the same on all three.. so I dont think that the phone or the app is the issue.. I think its the camera.

I have reset the camera fully now since I figured out you can do it from the gear 360 app which luckily happens via bluetooth (it seems all the bluetooth stuff works), but when i try and do anything requiring wifi.. i hit the loading popup and get no further - im loosing the will to live!

I'll come back to it after a few hours and see if anything jumps out at me

Great work Quinny889!

Just tested it on my Nexus 5x stock ROM 7.1.1

Thank you!

Works (almost) perfectly on LG G5 with Nougat

First of all thank you so much Quinny899!! I really appreciate that you managed to pull this one of. I'm sure many people are very happy right now as well :)

Here are my thoughts\comments using LG G5 (hopefully it will help others to set up their devices):

- firstly you not only need to uninstall previous versions of Gear 360 Manager, but also wipe all data in app manager. Otherwise there may be connection issues.

- secondly do a clean install and new pairing process, which in case of G5 goes perfectly

- here we have one problem. It gets stuck on "loading" when you go to live view. The work around is that you have to click connect to live you, when it says "loading" jump to WiFi list and manually switch to AP_Gear 360 WiFi broadcasting from the camera unit and jump back to Gear 360 manager, wait a bit and it should complete the loading process. From there everything works great!

- the new high res icons look amazing in comparison to previous version. Thanks for that as well :D

- saving files on LG G5 work without a problem, just make sure you give it all the permissions when prompted by android

- stitching on G5 very quick, but no surprise here since it's got the same processor and memory as Galaxy S7

So do you think you might tinker some more and get the WiFi connection going fully automatically? Is it device dependent or a general issue?

Besides that the mod lets me do my work again with 360 filming and I believe good work should be appreciated, so any way to donate to you? :)

Can't offer much right now, but if more people add up, it might sum up to something nice ;)

Once again - thank for your great work~!
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I think it relies on a Samsung specific thing, but I'll take a look when I get the time

If you really want to donate, you could either buy an in app purchase of one of my apps or use the donate to me option on the left of my posts on the desktop XDA site
[Android Software Development] mark_mcmurphy:
Yes. Previously I worked with Bin4ry's version on Samsung Note 4 and it always connected without a problem even though it wasn't an officially supported device. On the other hand Note 4's hardware was sub-par for stitching at all. Now there is a role reversal - G5 has the horse power, but won't connect automatically. Still - it's amazing that you managed to get it working this much! :)

No Joy Nexus 5X

I just tried this build on my Nexus 5x 16gb stock rom 7.0 and I still get the stuck at Loading..... whenever I try to go into Gear 360 or live view mode. Any help would be appreciated.

I am a noob, but if I can get more information for you I will try,

I appreciate your work on this endeavor.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Are you connecting to the WiFi of the camera manually?
[Android Software Development] ftoledo:
Hi!

Can you share the code that the app use to stitch photos when save to phone?

Great work
[Android Software Development] KenHall1702:
No, I am brand new to this device, and not familiar with how to connect manually. I will try to find out how to do that.

I also noticed that my firmware is C200GLU0APC4 and the latest is C200GLU0APE4 but of course I cannot upgrade to that without getting that wifi connection established.

No luck on OnePlus 3T running stock OxygenOS Nougat with root. Tried manually connecting to the WiFi as well
[Android Software Development] herwigk21:
Good work, thank you. The app starts, but Live view and Image stitching/viewing does not work.

Android 7.1/cm 14.1/oneplus one
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Whilst it's on Loading..., pull down the notification bar, open the WiFi quick setting and connect to the network called Gear_AP
[Android Software Development] zettiness:
It's great you have done this liberating crack, unfortunately on my Xperia Z1 Compact it's awfully slow and usually never goes past connection screen. Once I got as far as switching to live view but it never materialized. It just stops responding.

I see you are talking about connecting to WiFi -- but it looks like my camera has bluetooth only? Also the app only instructs to connect to bluetooth. I don't see any Gear 360-named network being scanned either.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
When the app shows Loading... it sends a signal to the camera over BT to turn on its WiFi and allow ONE device to connect, and the phone should automatically connect to that network. The WiFi is used for live view and viewing content on the camera as BT would be too slow
[Android Software Development] le0.br4zuc4:
I try doing that, but I guess my pixel sees no internet connection on that network and disconnects.
[Android Software Development] soultracker:
I have to try it a few times then managed to see it is copying to the gear360 camera and the it went to 100% and stays there.

Have to switch app then only can see it is asking whether to install the firmware.

I am on nexus 6p btw.

Everything seems to work fine now except downloading videos.

It is stuck at 100% for a long long time.

This is after the firmware update.

Anyone experience this?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It sticks at 100% whilst it opens the image viewer, maybe try installing the viewer APK to?
[Android Software Development] soultracker:
I have installed the viewer and the result is the same.

Still stuck at 100%.

I don't think this is because of the viewer as I am only downloading the videos from the camera to the phone.

Not actually viewing it.

In fact I tried the Share as well. It just downloads till 100% then stuck there.

The only thing I can do is press Cancel but I waited for an additional hour before cancelling it.

FYI, it is only a 10 secs 4k test video.

It looked like it has downloaded 100% and processing it before it is saved.

There are no saved videos in the Mobile Device tab.

I have the same problem with mine Samsung galaxy S5. I only read at the beginning of the topic that it works for s4/s5 but would like to use the live view. The only solution is to install mod without live view?

I have the same issue, any solution or workaround?
[Android Software Development] Thenetstriker:
I can confirm that this mod works on a ZTE Axon 7. I found no problems so far. (Settings, stiching and LiveView are working)
[Android Software Development] soultracker:
I have no workaround now.

Which phone are you using and what's the android version?

And which firmware is the samsung gear 360 camera you have?

Mine is as follows:

Phone: Nexus 6P + Android Nougat 7.1.1 + Jan 5 2017 Security Patch.

Camera firmware: C200GLU0API1
[Android Software Development] soultracker:
Found a workaround for the issue where it is stuck at 100% when downloading.

When we initiate Save.

If we go into /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Gear 360/

We should be able to see a new file 360_XXXX.mp4 created.

This should be the file which is downloaded from the camera to your phone.

After downloaded, it will start the stitching process and saved as SAM_100_XXXX.mp4 in the same folder

If wait until it has downloaded 100% in the app, we need to check the size of the file of SAM_100_XXXX.mp4.

If it is not increasing anymore, most probably means the stitching is done.

Don't press cancel in the samsung gear360 app.

Try to open the video file from the folder using the viewer. If it works copy out those mp4 files.

The thing is when we press Cancel, it will delete those files in the folder even though it was downloaded properly.

Looks more like one of the process failed after downloaded and stitched the video.
[Android Software Development] rayray6667:
I have a feeling that this saving problem might related somehow to wifi - BT cooperation. I did factory reset without installing any apps. Then I disable some default apps (not able to uninstal) what could use BT or Wifi. This stabilized my Gear 360 manager. Saving images is still not 100% but quite OK. Sometimes 360 manager switched off the wifi, but after activating wifi, it works fine without need to stop Gear 360 manager. Also interesting is that when saving stop by showing 100% in gear manager, notification bar indication 49% file save.

Problem on xiaomi mi2s.

The gear 360 software mod 2k / 4k nougat works, but should not be successful, the Live View, the screen goes black.

The firmware C200GLU0API1 _... REV00_USER.BIN 320MB is downloaded to the phone but not installed in the camera gear 360

who should serve the firmware on the phone but I did not know how to install it.

I was googling around trying to find a problem with my gear 360 manager (Official unmodded app). I actually have the identical problem where by transfering images crashes the Gear 360 manager.

The 1st photo will be copied up to 100% and then the app crashes. In the android notification shows 49% file save.

I cant reconnect to the gear 360. I have to disconnect and reconnect for it to work.

Perhaps out problem are related and we could narrow it down. Are u rooted and did u disabled something?

Im using S6 on 5.0.2 , Firmware C200GLU0API1, gear 360 manager 1.0.13

Galaxy Note Pro 12

on my Galaxy Note Pro 12, I could not install 1.0.10, I could install 1.0.04 but was it not working, I tried to install on top of it again the 1.0.10, installation worked well. I could connect to the camera, take photos, videos, but transfer for videos crashes the app at 29%. Transfer of photo is ok, but edition displays a black screen

After I quit the app, switch off the cam, the app can open normally the photos.
[Android Software Development] RocketSled:
Works great on my otherwise-stock 3 year old ATT Note 4 running 6.0.1.

Samsung should pay you comission. I'm not in the market for a new phone. I'd have returned the camera if your app hadn't worked. Samsung's sale is 100% your doing.

Great job!

hello my phone arrived but the motorola x force is not compatible with the application manager with gear 360 mod.

I found the solution for the camera firmware update.

Will perform for the update I used a Samsung J5 J5 but before I upgraded to version 6.0 of Android, now the camera has the latest firmware installed.

the application works on mi2s but with the application without live view.

Now I have to root on motorola and then change the buildprop to see if I can use the application you modified. Or I try to reverse engineer the original application.

_________________________________________________________________

ciao il mio cellulare è arrivato ma il motorola x force non è compatibile con l'applicazione gear 360 manager con mod.

Ho trovato la soluzione per l'aggiornamento firmware della fotocamera.

Per eseguira l'aggiornamento ho usato un Samsung J5 ma prima ho aggiornato il J5 alla versione di Android 6.0, adesso la fotocamera ha l'ultimo firmware installato.

l'applicazione funziona sul mi2s ma con l'applicazione senza live view.

Ora devo fare il root sul motorola e poi modificare il buildprop per capire se posso utilizzare l'applicazione da te modificata. In alternativa provo a fare un reverse enginnering della applicazione originale.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Modifying the build.prop is not enough anymore, you must use the modified APK if you want to use the updated mod

[Android Software Development] hovercraftdriver:
I'm on an HTC10, rooted, running stock Marsmallow firmware and OS. I am also stuck at loading screen...following the directions I can achieve a WIFI connection, but only momentarily. This happens when I try the manual WIFI connect via the Streetview, or when I try to connect the devices and use the access WIFI settings method. It connects briefly, then disconnects and shows as saved on my phone, at which point I assume the 360 sees that it is no longer connected and shuts down it's own wifi. I have uninstalled and installed both the required apps a couple of times.

One other thing, when I try to access settings in the GEAR 360 app, it force closes. At first I didn't know why, now I think it is because it isn't connecting with wifi, but maybe that's still not the reason.

Any suggestions?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
It's android disconnecting because of no internet. On some devices you can disable that from the WiFi settings, but on others it needs root or adb to run a command
[Android Software Development] hovercraftdriver:
Okay THANKS!... fixed the issue where it disconnects from WIFI, now just forever stuck at loading screen.

Also, didn't say in last post, but I did enable permissions, just to eliminate that.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

On further review, I must have made progress, because now I have a video notification with record hot button in the notification window, but still stuck on loading.

How can you tell camera side if it is recording or not?

Also, the gear 360 app still force closes if I hit settings in app on phone.

I don't think I can disable that on my Pixel XL, not under settings. Would you happen to know the ADB command?

[Android Software Development] hovercraftdriver:
I don't know about your Pixel XL, but I fixed it on my HTC 10 by going into Advanced wifi settings and the "avoid bad wi-fi connection" was ticked...I unticked it and the problem resolved itself. Seems to make the phone default to Mobile Data if no internet detected when wi-fi is on.

Hi, I was trying to get it working with Oneplus One and Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (T-819) and both had some problems. I was using app 1.0.13 and Gear 360 latest firmware and I tested this on 2 different cameras.

Oneplus One Android 7.1.1 using Quinny899 4k app

It connects to camera with Bluetooth I can see how full is battery and storage.

I can find and connect to WiFi, after 2 times selecting it stays connected and doesn't disconnect because of No Internet.

But still problem is that it can't get past loading screen.

Galaxy Tab S2 Android: 6.0.1 using Bin4ry 4k app

Bluetooth working and connected.

I think it doesn't turn on WiFi on Gear 360.

Stuck on loading screen.

Does anyone manage to get Gear 360 working with Oneplus devices? Don't care about Tab S2 it was for testing but any suggestions for 1+ One?
