[Google Pixel 8 Pro] crisco654:
Hey everyone, so about couple of years ago, I made a post detailing how I was able to get daydream to work on the Pixel 6 pro. I just upgraded to the 8 pro, and after some playing around with things, I was able to get it to work again. It's still very buggy, and most apps don't work anymore, especially know since the Pixel 8 only has 64 bit architecture and most older apps only have 32 bit. But overall, it runs good, and there are still apps that work. The steps to get to work, and working apps are listed below.

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

Install this Magisk module and activate.

Install the Daydream and Daydream keyboard apks.

Install this VR services apk. (1)

Go to the Daydream app, and go through the setup process (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 This app is still listed in the google play store, but do not upgrade. The one I listed is the highest version that works.

2 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.)

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

Now for apps. First, the daydream app is completely useless. Do not launch directly into daydream; go to the daydream app, and then to the library, and then click the app you want to use to launch directly into it. You can test vr apps by downloading them through the google plays store, but 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 search for and download apks). Also, be aware that the Pixel 8 can't run 32-bit apps. With that being said, here are a few apps I found that still successfully work-

Firefox Reality Browser-

One of two browser I could find that still works. And it works pretty damn well. Plus the user interface is awesome. Hulu actually works, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get Netflix/disney plus/pecock running, but you might find others that work. But other than that, you can use it to search the web. You can download the apk here(this is the only version that works)

Gizmo VR Video Player-

This is a video player, but also doubles as a browser. Works well and pretty simple to use. Haven't tested what streaming services work on there, but I assume not many. It's still listed on the google play store, so just search and download.

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 it here(choose the pro version). And the app was recently updated in the google play store, but this version does not work with daydream, so do not update!

Youtube VR-

Google hasn't delisted this app yet from the google play store. No need to download an older version. This version works perfectly! Also, you can use voice search on it!

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 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!
