[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
Hey guys,

currently I'm trying to get the GearVR working with a A5 2016.

I know, it's not meant to run with that model and I don't want a discussion about how it is not fast enough for it.

So I changed my model to the S6 in build.prop, put it in the Gear and nothing happened. I seem to miss some services there to let it trigger the Oculus Software.

Now I installed some APKs and got the Oculus Store and it told me that I needed some updates and startet loading some files and installed them.

If I start a app, the screen goes black for a while and then just crashes on me with something like "Oculus Home has stopped".

This is where I am at the moment.

Plugging in the Phone into the gear won'T trigger anything.

I seam to miss some services or packages there.

Nooooow. Could someone provide me ALL files needed to run the Gear?

Is there a way to export the files from a firmware of the S6?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
So I found those apps:

Gear VR Service → com.samsung.android.hmt.vrsvc

Gear VR SetupWizardStub → com.samsung.android.app.vrsetupwizardstub

Gear VR Shell → com.samsung.android.hmt.vrshell

GearManagerStub.apk → com.samsung.android.app.watchmanagerstub

RNB.apk → com.samsung.android.hmt.vrsvc

RNBShell.apk → com.samsung.android.hmt.vrshell

could someone provide them?

[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
Thanks dude! Got a few questions:

Are those the base files needed to get it running on A5 2016?

Am I allowed to update, or will it stop working after updating?
[Samsung Gear VR] Flacid Monkey:
Hey, how far along are you with this?

Just set my eyes on one so I'll be looking to try and do this also.
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
Didn't had the time lately to root my phone and change model in build.prop.

Without changing it, it seems like it won't work, cause it isn't starting oculus if I connect it.

Maybe I'll take the time in those days and try to do it again.
[Samsung Gear VR] memreb1801:
Hello Montaxx,

you need these Apps to run Oculus Home on your device...

- com.oculus.horizon

- com.oculus.systemdriver

- com.oculus.systemactivities

- com.samsung.android.hmt.vrsystem

- com.facebook.system

- com.facebook.installer

- Gear VR Shell

- Gear VR SetupWizard

I am sure you dont have this apps.

- com.samsung.android.hmt.vrsystem

- com.facebook.system

- com.facebook.installer

- com.oculus.systemdriver

I have uploaded them here (Install all in the archive)

drive.google.com/file/d/0BxjU5RlzRaM1VERfdnVGY0ZycFU/view?usp=drivesdk

Good Luck:):)

If you would use Oculus Hoem this Cardboards you need...

- a Oculus account

- and the SideloadVR app (all steps are there)

All SideloadVR apps call as a virus but it is false and you dont care if Smart Manager tell you that ist a virus.

Just install it.
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
So your packet has all that I need to run it?

Do I need to change model too?
[Samsung Gear VR] memreb1801:
No:)
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
So I installed your package. Doesn't work. Oculus home is starting, but if I turn my head around it doesn't move
[Samsung Gear VR] memreb1801:
See my second post " Google Cardboard and SideloadVR"

Follow these steps:):D

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

You must enable the developer mode on Gear VR Service
[Samsung Gear VR] memreb1801:
Screenshot
[Samsung Gear VR] memreb1801:
Go to Settings>Application Manager>Gear VR Service> Manage Storage

Tab 6 times on VR service version.

If you have followed the sideloadVR guide

If manage storage doesnt available please look at the screen shots

1. Install QuickShortcutMaker

2. Search Gear VR Service

3. Tab on the activity

4. THEN try it. A popup comes named "Gear VR Service has stopped" That is right

5. Go to Settings>Application Manager>Gear VR Service> Manage Storage
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
I installed sideloadVR and also installed the signature + a test-app.

I managed to set me to developer mode in Gear VR Service and set it to "on".

Now if I start Oculus Home and tap "Start VR", it turns black and crashs.

If I turn developer mode off again, I can start VR, but can't look around, just see the menu.

thanks for your effort!

PS: I don't have root and my model is still A5 2016. Didn't change build.prop
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
So I rooted my device and changed model, but still don't work.
[Samsung Gear VR] miniminus:
thought i would add my trails too ! ..

im trying to get my S7 Active running the GearVR, and it seems im in same boat as Montaxx,

althou i may be a little closer to a S7 hardware and more likely to get it working if its hardware limited .. than Montax's on a A5 !

as the S7 Active internally is identical to the s7.. so least i know im only battling software wise ! ..

i too have got all the software sorta working .. so Oculus market/app all works. can get into the gearVR service and select dev modes etc

but the one thing i just cannot get to acknowledge is the insertion of the GearVR , or any of the hardware on the gearVR either (touchpad, or buttons like volume etc)

my gearVR defo works as works fine on sons standard S7 ! ...

have copied/altered everything over on build.prop still nothing ...

i thought i would edit more things too other than just...

ro.product.model=SM-G935F

I also changed ro.product.device and ro.build.product to herolte

and ro.product.name to heroltexx and ro.build.flavor to heroltexx-user

(herolte is the s7 edgenickname )

does anyone know what actually detects the USB/GearVR docking ? ..

did read somewhere but i now cannot find it to try expand/research on it! (ive read LOTS so may just got wrong end of stick ? !!)

that theres a main system files, needed for drivers which is inbuilt into ROM normally... keymapper file ???

ive searched the custom Rom threads, and all the 'fix' files are full of are the gear VR service files etc ..

any suggestion, tests, or help would be great !!!
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
Just bumping this.

This must be some sort of ROM-Thing.

I don't really think that there is a hardware-limitation. We seem to miss something
[Samsung Gear VR] hacker12:
Are you still trying to do it?
[Samsung Gear VR] Montaxx:
Yep, nothing new.

Still the same problems. Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear VR] hacker12:
Maybe find something in the S6 ROM? Or this could be a firmware thing.
[Samsung Gear VR] mmmilo:
Other devices can run

I've read something about Running Gear Vr with a non Samsung phone. U should look for this.
[Samsung Gear VR] gleybert:
Is it possible to gear vr on A5 2017 without root? Oreo official firmware Russia.

No, the answer is sadly, but its defo a no :(

Hello, i follow this forum for some time now, and until yesterday i had no problem installing, reinstalling Android phones. But yesterday i tried install stock Android on LG G3 D855 and had no luck, KDZ and TOT systems will not install 4.4.2 on G3. Currently this phone have v30n android with suffix:A6PSTN but i think actually is 6PS. Reason i want to try install stock system is that because SD card do not work properly on THIS phone. Card will not work at all or it will stuck formatting around 20%...any help is appreciated...thanks

We have Rogers, which is/was our biggest cable monopoly. Each baby-bell (the different provincial telco companies that resulted after the break-up of the Ma Bell monopoly), and Fido... recently bought by Rogers/AT&T, but still with its own operator settings.

It's not like we have enough providers for any one of them to be unimportant; especially when all the baby bells are CDMA...

And at what number did they make the changeover?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gmobilize:
I am also interested, because if noticed that my screen has reay saturated colors battery life tends not be so great (doubt its relayed tho) i have however noticed that some burn ins remain on screen for a while when you switch from bright white to gray color (like the XDA app)

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ultraman1966:
I'm also curious about this change. I bought the phone recently but my serial number is for Apr 2016 so I'm guessing they had a lot of old stock to shift.

Do not be sad bro

is there a ghost in the phone screen ?

send service to give new series :D

my friend have 604 series phone ghost screen ..sent to the service.. came the new series 609 !!:o
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
Yes there is ghosting.

I can't send it back. I bought it on a vacation in Austria (I'm from Israel) :rolleyes:

This sucks a bit.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramqashou:
What does ghosting mean?

Light bleeding ?

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

The display on mine seems pretty good, colors are vibrant and natural exactly like i want it, and its brightness is so high i can see clearly in direct sunlight, although mine is 604. I am so so so happy with the display
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
Nope.. it's soft screen burn in. When a bright object is at the same place on your screen for few minutes, and then you switch to a darker background, you can still see the "ghost" of the previous bright object for the next 10-30 minutes or so. It goes away though. Mostly noticeable in the status bar (white static notification icons).

I did find out that if you use the application "bluelight filter" on 10% , it seems to almost solve the issue completely. This app is meant to reduce eye strain. I'm using it for the past day so far.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lolmensch:
I think this whole thing is a hoax. When looking at the beginning of the video there is close to no difference in contrast and brightness when the brightness setting is shown. Then both phones are taken away from the camera and suddenly one performs way better than the other. Also the light source is definitely pointed to the top phone leading to a worsened contrast.

Unless there is no solid proof to this I simply won't believe it :D
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptscon:
Plus, is LG even still producing these mid way through their life cycle? 609 - 610 serial suggest September and October production units.

It would be 604 since your manufacturer date is 04/2016
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
Screen burn in on IPS LCD? Mm I don't think so. Must be a software thing.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
In fact i don't know why they keep calling like that, burn in and image retention are two different things
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
Nope, not a software thing. I did find a solution though. It appears the blue light of the screen is responsible for it. Just download BlueLight Filter app and set it to 10%. Few days now and so far the burn ins are gone.

Edit: yes, image retention / soft burn in.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] karendar:
I had image burn in + GPS issues. Sent it back to the UK. Wondering if they'll replace it entirely.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rocco6victor:
Mine got replaced for a new one the second time it went for the GPS issue; and had developed image retention after the first GPS repair.

The new one is perfect in both issues

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thunderc8:
How can I check if I have the GPS issue?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jarein95:
Install the app called Gps Test and watch if the accuracy is <+-10 meters, if it is more than 15 meters and the signals are low you have gps issue. Test in the street.

Enviado desde mi LG-H850 mediante Tapatalk
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] karendar:
I wouldn't base it simply on accuracy. I'd base it on number of detected and locked satellites. I personally was only able to lock to 3-4 Inside and 9-10 outside with the G5 and got frequent position drops. With a Moto X play, I would get 15 sats locked INSIDE at decent signal. I have a video I can post which shows the difference if anyone's interested.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ElChe:
I can confirm this! I got a 603 G5 and my sister just got a 610 G5! Her screen is slightly brighter and it has a slightly warmer colors (compared both screens on a white image, mine looked more blueish). Well, sucks for me I guess! But I don't care more than that, won't get mine replaced or anything. And yes mine has ghosting too, but not big deal to me.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiis:
Disagree!

My H850 was built in April and has a warm white tone. My father's H850 was built in June and has a blueish brighter white! All colour settings are the same, though.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramqashou:
Mine is 604 but it has a stunning display -- INSANLY deep black, natural vibrant colors, The white is fantastic, its reallll white, the brightness is more than adequate, easily seen outside thanks to outdoor mode.

Is that an app or a feature that I am not aware of? I'm running stock OS.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galr:
It's an app by hardy-infinity. Thr obly downside is that you need to disable it when giving apps new permissions (just a tap on the persistent notification).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ElChe:
Thanks! I'll give it a try. My G5 does have ghosting issues, and you can clearly see it then tying on whatsapp for a bit then hiding the keyboard. Never really bothered me enough to go through the process of replacing and restoring all my stuff, but if this app can do some good, why not :P Thanks again

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] goat_sea:
So is this confirmed then? If I got a 609 or 610 I should have no ghost in my screen? I bought a used one from ebay and used gps/drove for 2-3 hours today and boy was that spotify icon showing.... I really love this phone and just want the screen to be flawless.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bluerain28:
That still depends. I got 605 and my phone has no problem at all. :D
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] goat_sea:
Yeah, see I drove for 3 hrs and the brightness was up. I went to a gray image 2-3 hours later and the Spotify app was burned in, same with buttons. Ahhhhhhhh this is so tough..... Risky G5 or Oneplus 3 :(
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mkdr:
Found this thread and saw the video, and I think it's fake. Those two videos/screen look so different, the top so dark that you can't recognize anything in the video. And my display looks totally awesome and bright, and my SN starts with S/N:604KPG... so I have "the old display".

This doesn't make sense. If you look at it, both white font have same brightness, but the video in the top is just darker. The font on the top is even slightly brighter.

Also, he took the top one out of the screen for a while, it seems he changed brightness back from 100% to whatever, mostly 0% and never showed brightness setting anymore afterwards in the video.

When he put both on 100% for a few seconds in the video both look the same, then he took one out from the camera for a while and suddenly it looks horrible. My bed is he changed brightness to 0%-30% on the top behind the camera and left the bottom on 100%.

And btw...

This is an English speaking forum, what do we have from posting Türkish forums or videos? Nothing.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aalvico:
Maybe is only two different suppliers as G4. The brighntess and color are different between LGD and JDI (first better), but both affected by ghost screen.

Also considering that 609 have only two months is impossible to conclude that problem was solved.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mkdr:
But from that logic, it would mean that the first branches of the G5 came with a non LG display, which I don't believe can be true. Especially how LG advertised it with their own quantum-dot display technology. Maybe they stopped producing the display after how bad the G5 sold, and how units come with a display from a different manufacturer. Every IPS (all my IPS devices show really fast burn in depending on the contrast) panel has soft burn in btw. It's just a matter of brightness and most people use too high brightness I guess with their G5.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] aalvico:
It only means two different displays were compared, from G2, LG sold both from beginning and in G4 really have a difference between them (and we are talking about IPS quantum in G4), so maybe also have a difference in G5, video doesn't show production date of the phone or panel ID specification (I think, because couldn't stand to watch all). Anyway my display is much brighter than LGD G4. Yours is bad as the video ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mkdr:
No, my display is bright as the core of the sun, even at 40% it's awesome. It's totally nothing like the top one in the video. If I put mine on 0% though it looks like the top in the video. My serial starts with 604.
