[Google Pixel 6 Pro] crisco654:
Hey everyone, so I know many people have been disappointed(and angry), including myself, that Google has discontinued daydream. However, after a week of tinkering with stuff, I finally was able to get it working on my rooted Pixel 6 Pro! Albeit, it's buggy, and most apps don't even work anymore. But overall, it runs good considering it's not even suppose to be running on Android 12, let alone the Pixel 6. Below I will outline steps in order to get it to work on your rooted Pixel 6 pro(and I assume on the Pixel 6 as well). And I'll list a few apps I found that still work properly.

--------------------------------------------------------

Daydream Pixel 6 workaround-

Install this Magisk module and activate.

Install the Daydream and Daydream keyboard apks.

Install this modified VR services apk.

Go to the Daydream app, and go through the setup process 1.

Uninstall the Daydream app, and install this older Daydream apk 2

Everything should be setup at this point. It might not load the first couple times you try it, but if you exit out, and restart it, it should work.

1 Sometimes when you try to connect your controller, it won't connect the first time(might be due to it being a Bluetooth low energy device. So if it doesn't, connect it to the charger, and hold the two bottom buttons for about 5 seconds. Hit "Try again" on the screen, push the daydream button, and it should successfully connect.)

2 For some reason, you must install the most recent version of the Daydream app first to set it up. If you try to install an older version first, the app will try to connect to Google, and it will give an error message. The most recent version of Daydream actually does work though, but the screen will be distorted, and that's why I installed a previous version, with will give you a correct aspect ratio.

--------------------------------------------------------

Now for apps. First, the google play store will not work through the daydream headset. You will have to download apps by either browsing through the daydream app, or searching on the google play store. As I stated above, you unfortunately won't find many apps that work, and many developers have pulled their VR versions of their apps off the store(so you may have to download apks if you want to test to see if an app works). With that being said, here are a few apps I found that still successfully work.

Firefox Reality Browser-

The only browser I could find that still works. And it works pretty damn well. Plus the user interface is awesome. You can watch some streaming services too! From the ones I tested, you can watch HBO Max, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get Netflix or Disney Plus running, but you might find others that work. You can download the apk here(this is the only version that works)

Netflix VR-

Surprisingly this is still listed on the google play store. And that's the one you can download; no need to install an older version. And it works perfectly!

VRTV Video Player-

This has been my go-to video player since I first bought my daydream. And it still works. You're able to play mostly any VR videos that you have stored on your device, or stream mostly any VR videos by pasting the streaming link in the app. You can download in the google play store.

Youtube VR-

Surprised Google hasn't delisted this app yet from the google play store. Again, no need to download an older version. This version works perfectly!

Rez Infinite-

Haven't tested many games yet, but this one still works. And it's still listed in the google play store. It's playable, but it may crash occasionally while you're playing it.

Some apps I tested that didn't work-

PlexVR

Google Chrome

DeoVR

SkyboxVR

Google Street Maps VR

Expeditions

Fulldive VR

Feel free to comment below on any apps you have found to still work. And feel free to test different versions of non-working apps I listed above, to see if any do work(I didn't have the time/patient to go through every one). If you have any questions, feel free to message, and I'll try to answer to the best of my technical ability. Have fun!
