note 4 original. The tapes to maximum resolution will not let me keep them, gives 30% mistake of the resolution is not mistake me for 95%. For the rest, it is the same look.
[Android Software Development] billford22:
I installed the samsung version you posted, and have the same results on my Note 3: live view turns to a black screen and I am unable to transfer any images or videos from the camera. I have attached the beginning and end of the logcat file.
[Android Software Development] ThaiM:
Samsung version stops at 29% video transfer (again). Photo transfer works okay and same with Live View for me on my Note 4.
[Android Software Development] Meisech:
Resolution issue

I also suspect a resolution issue. On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T700), which has a resolution of 2560x1600, everything works fine. On my phone, a Medion X5004 which has only a resolution of 1920x1080, I have the same problem like most of the members, black live view. After a while (approx. 2 min) the app returns to its main window, showing the recorded sequences.
[Android Software Development] hugofilipe:
I've tested on a LG G3 and I've the same liveview problem as with the Samsung S5. Since the LG has a higher pixel count, it might not be only a resolution issue.
[Android Software Development] tuetensosse:
Works on galaxy A3 2016. The live preview offen jerks. And it isn't possible to save pictures and videos (Progress stopps at 49%). Than the app just closes.

But thank you very much to port that app to other phones!

Android 5.1.1. Not rooted

Original Rom.

Same here, just bought the 360 and I'm fine whit it.

But whit news from today the new 360 will work whit any android 5.0 + and also iPhone so no longer restriction against other phones then Samsung. Hopefully the first gen of the 360s will get an update or modversion that will also work generally whit all androids 5.0+ whiteout the little issues we have in the famous mods.

Thanks again to the great devs and there work!

Beta Version supporting 2017 gear 360, new modes

There is a newer version of Gear 360 manager, with new 360 visualization modes and support for the new 2017 Gear 360 camera (full 4k, smaller, 4k/24 1080/60 and 720/120fps, streaming, etc.)

Download their beta apk at https: // www .samsungimaging .com /file/ download?XmlIdx=312&file=Gear360ManagerNew_Beta.apk or at https: // galaxyunpackedrsvp.com / gear360_app.

It would be great if you can apply your magic to that, too!

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Samsung has a new version that has new modes and supports the new 2017 Gear 360 camera (full 4k at 24fps, 1080p at 60fps and 720p at 120fps, live streaming, smaller, etc.). It would be great if it could run on older phones. You can download it at https: // www .samsungimaging .com /file/ download?XmlIdx=312&file=Gear360ManagerNew_Beta.apk or at https: // galaxyunpackedrsvp.com / gear360_app.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
On it.

On another note, there WILL be a Note 8.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Just going to have a post for my ramblings on the update whilst I port it

For a start, it's a totally different app than the old one. Interface is different, package name is different and the two won't go alongside each other. It is also much slicker, connects almost instantly. WiFi is still buggy, which makes me think it is something to do with Samsung devices doing it differently.

In good news, the update doesn't use Samsung's proprietary drawable format anymore (yay!) so we now have ORIGINAL full quality pngs for the icons.

Quick video tour: https://streamable.com/1ohxc (I've since got the camera to start to load live view)
[Android Software Development] MikusP:
Thanks for the update! I was really disappointed to see Samsung are still excluding other android handsets, really hope you manage to get this up and running! :good:
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Here's the first port APK of the beta version

It has no extra enabled features, other than being 4K and working on all devices (within reason, live preview still breaks low power devices)

I'll now start looking at enabling the new features for all but that may or may not be possible, hardware may be required. I've also seen hints of a video editor in the app, so maybe that can be enabled too

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Correction, the 360 editor is an EXTERNAL app, package name com.sec.android.mimage.gear360editor

Seems it existed already but I wasn't aware of it. It appears to have been installed on the Note 7

Its APK is on APKMirror, I'll see if that needs porting too
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Well the option shows, shame it doesn't work. Just sits at a loading screen. Does anyone have one, know someone with or know someone who was at the event? It's occurred to me that unless the camera has a way of passing through WiFi, there's no way for you to actually be connected to the internet whilst you stream, unless you use mobile data?

EDIT: This video from Samsung appears to show two WiFi connections? Do Samsung devices support two concurrent connections or WiFi direct whilst still on another network?
[Android Software Development] zecamara:
Not working on Note 4?

I tried on a Note 4, it doesn't start ("Unfortunately, Samsung Gear 360 has stopped"). I tried clearing data, uninstalled old app, port and reinstalled, no luck. Are there any other apks I need to preinstall?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Could you get a logcat? It's probably something that crashes that doesn't run on my 5X
[Android Software Development] BKATZ:
Why does this app require phone/SMS access to run?

I have installed this for my new Gear 360. The app demands access to make phone calls and SMS. Why? It won't run without these permissions... I have a Note 4, running Android 6.0.1
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Idk, ask Samsung. I didn't add those permissions.
[Android Software Development] zecamara:
permissions

It could be to support the broadcasting feature. The new camera is advertised to have live broadcasting capability. Imagine... Tons of amateurs 'directors' and bloggers now polluting the cell traffic with his face and environment in full 360 (4pi sr).
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The new version, yes. It has SMS sharing for links when you go live. They were asking about the old one though
[Android Software Development] zlikovac:
Hey guys, anyone managed to hack BT on (old) Gear 360 so we can use generic BT USB dongle to send shutter on cmnd? Anyone on this thread with official BT remote (from Samsung value pack) willing to sniff BT traffic between camera and remote? We need that desperatly, since we need photo mode timelapse on drone. Other option is to drill shutter button on cam and connect with wires to arduino for intervalometer.

thanks!

logcat note 4 crash

Sorry for the delay, never used logcat before, had to install SDK, enable debug mode etc etc. Hopefully this helps.

I was at the event, and have a "2017 gear 360" (they could have changed the name, no?), so I can try the broadcast portion, too. Actually, I will try your modded apk in my S7 for that.
[Android Software Development] zecamara:
works great on S7

I hope you saw the logcat1.zip I posted. I also tested your modded beta apk on a S7, the live broadcast seems to work fine with a new 2017 Gear 360. I only tested with one phone, intend to do a end-to-end real test later when I have another phone or use laptop to see the broadcast.

Thanks again.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
The unmodded APK would work on an S7 too. Do you have an original Gear 360 too?

Also the new 360 is called the "globe" internally, whereas the original had its normal name as the codename:

I'll check that logcat now

EDIT: Honestly, the bug in the logcat looks like something I can't fix, as it's related to something I've not touched. It is a beta app though - it may get fixed by Samsung.
[Android Software Development] The Real:
Version 1.0.13 works well on my Sony Xperia tablet 2 only liveview doesn't work. But guess to less power. In any way I don't care about liveview I can see pics and videos from the cam. :good:
[Android Software Development] richozer:
Got it to work on Moto Droid

From the RTFM department. The trick for me was to wait till the mobile app said "Loading." Then and only then, connect to the gear 360 WiFi. Once connected, the app will complete its connection and provide live view, etc. Thanks for this effort... very cool.
[Android Software Development] davidguiza:
The new APK seems to work fine on my Nexus 5X, only thing I noticed is that I still had to manually connect to the camera's wifi network when I wanted to use it as it wouldn't do it automatically when triggered from the app.

not working on oneplus x

Hi, I'm trying to get this to work on the oneplus x (running lineageos) but I can't get many of the features working on both apks . :crying:

I can't access the camera images/video (keeps saying loading)

on the local videos, the 360 viewer is not working, it is just a black screen

the liveview just keeps saying loading (the wifi has connected to the camera)

although the settings work (formatting cameras storage)

I must be doing something wrong

Thanks,

[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Read the known issues in the OP.
[Android Software Development] Zaknahein:

It finds the GEAR 360 : Gear 360(ACED)

I confirm the bluethooth code

But after I have a window with no connection and OK to retry
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Maybe try the beta APK from page 60?
[Android Software Development] Zaknahein:
Impossible has to install: a problem arose during the analysis of package
[Android Software Development] sstrunks84:
I wanted to bump this. This is something that I've been looking for too!
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I don't think that's done over Bluetooth, I think that part is done over the WiFi connection. You would need to pair, turn on the 360's WiFi remotely, connect to it and then send the shutter command.
[Android Software Development] sstrunks84:
Are you saying that pairing the bluetooth remote with the Gear 360 is done over WiFi?
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
No, I'm saying the command to take a picture is
[Android Software Development] R1CH101:
So i have now downloaded the beta app and I can now access the images on the sd however if I try to save the image, it fails and if I try to stitch the image, it goes to 50% then stops

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] sstrunks84:
I highly doubt it since the bluetooth remote is designed to be used without having a phone paired with the Gear 360. The remote pairs with the Gear 360 directly (there is a specific menu option on the Gear 360 for this), and not with your phone.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Your phone isn't powerful enough to do the stitching in the current form of the app. Use a PC

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Maybe so for the remote but the only take picture commands in the app are within the viewfinder, and do not function unless connected to the WiFi. You would indeed need to hack the controller
[Android Software Development] R1CH101:
Also if I take a photo using the app it crashes is that also the reason why

thanks
[Android Software Development] zlikovac:
Hey guys, whether the Gear 360 is in the gear manager mode (seems to be default bt on mode even without that mode turned on on cam) or remote mode (bt remote mode), commands are def sent via BT. Wifi seems to be used only for video stream. I am trying to emulate official BT remote so i can use bt dongle or arduino bt module to ctrl shutter on the cam. At first i have suspected there might be mac address ACL, so only official bt remotes can be used, but seems there is other check for some unknown GATT service. BT dongle with spoofed mac address (from official samsung bt remote) at first seems to pair with Gear 360, but as you can see from the wireshark logs i have uploaded, there is some service check then it disconnects. I wonder is it same service that can be found in Samsung Accessory Service apk? Can it be emulated or ported to linux? I am really newbie with BT and protocols, so i am not sure is it achievable at all.

I have uploaded few logs (pairing with spoofed mac address, shutter cmd capture from Nexus with hacked app and from official app on S7) and some interesting files (JSON cmds info) from decompiled gear manager APK.

Next step is to obtain official BT samsung remote (from damn expensive samsung value pack) and sniff with passive bt dongle remote<>gear360.

Any help would be appreciated!

cheers!

Gear 360 Manager (NEW) released in Play Store

Samsung released the New Gear 360 Manager in Play Store, in case you want to update your modded versions. It is called "Samsung Gear 360 (New)"

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

I had tested the modded beta for live streaming (with a 2017 Gear 360) and didn't really work, I was going to try different things later, but now the official release worked without effort. They must have finished the code... :)

It is low res (not sure if from the uplink or downlink or some youtube live settings) but it opens millions of possibilities. I will try it on my helmet during mountain biking tomorrow. If the battery doesn't die in 15min, it will be interesting, better than garmin connect or strava: not only see WHERE I am, but browse the full scenery around me.

When using the 2016 camera it doesn't offer the streaming. It would be interesting to see if that can be easily opened up so anyone with the older gear 360 can also stream.

When you post a new PORT from the official release, I can try with both cameras (you probably have the older camera, too, no?)
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
I'm aware of this release, should probably have posted about it rather than just in the comments in AP

I'm very busy right now but will try and find the time to port it by the end of the week.

I have a 2016 camera, yes. If you have both it would be very useful for testing.

First of all, thank you so much for all this info and the app.

Two things on this answer. I use my Note 4, so SOME pictures are stitched on the phone, while some others no. Ideas? Larger files, so still not powerful enough?

Another issue is, if I do the stitching on the ActionDirector on my pc, images are stitched instantly, but when I'm trying to upload them to Google Street View, they lost their orientation and they show the floor as the main horizontal axis etc.

Cheers and thanks!

Will video stiching work on s6 ?

Helo

Im looking for a way to stitch my videos from gear 360 with higher bitrate than from actiondirectior. Im using the s6 with original app. Is it possible to stitch videos with this mod app with better quality than from action directior or from stitch samsung app (limited to 720p) ?

thanx for info
[Android Software Development] MikusP:
I'm so grateful this app runs on my handset at all, so thanks a lot for the hard work!

Everything works well, except for the 100% video bug everyone else has mentioned. The files copy to the handset fine, but when stitching 360 or converting single lens videos to H265 it will always stick at 100%.

I moved the Samsung Accessory Service to be a system app and that seems to have smoothed the connecting and WiFi switching. But, that could just be a placebo....

[Android Software Development] nikhiljha:
The live view on the Nougat version (Nexus 5X, Latest Patches) doesn't work in dual camera mode. After borrowing a friend's S7 and switching it to single camera mode, the feed worked. Attempting to switch it to dual cam mode on the 5X again showed a spinner and then nothing.

I'm also having the same problem as [MENTION=8253471]billysunerson[/MENTION] where the firmware updates forever and does nothing.
[Android Software Development] MikusP:
Mine tells me to update the firmware every time I open the app and connect the camera. The firmware its telling me to update to is the same version that's already installed on the Gear 360, and it alternates form showing the download size as 0mb - ~300mb. It looks like its some sort of bug, so that could explain why it's not updating correctly.
[Android Software Development] Quinny899:
Oh, what's this?

The camera connected with WiFi direct on AOSP? ?

I've got the new APK ported but wanted to check out how WiFi direct works. Turns out, if you change the check for the Samsung WiFi direct method (discoverPeers, with 3 attributes) to the AOSP one (discoverPeers, with 2 attributes), it starts the camera's WiFi in direct mode, which shows in the Android WiFi direct picker.

Currently you still have to connect manually, but MAYBE I can get it working automatically, or at least launch the settings activity to pick it automatically

More tomorrow
