Will Google Daydream on Redmi Note 3 Pro be possible in the future? I have seen Daydream running on unsupported devices after installing all the .apk's before. Official support would be nice, since many of the Daydream apps seem to crash on unsupported devices.

No, it won't. It doesn't have the necessary requirements such as a high quality qyroscope and OLED display. Hopefully Xiaomi will release a relatively cheap daydream compatible phone this year.

Hello. I am looking forward to buy a lemax2 for developping
but i don't know if there is vulkan(replacement of opengl es 3.1) support
Can someone with a nougat rom (cyanogen ? )
install this report tool ?vulkan.gpuinfo.org/download.php
Wonder if it has the same capabilities as the google pixel
Here is a comparing between tegra K1 & pixel adreno 530 : vulkan.gpuinfo.org/compare.php?compare=compare&id[805]=on&id[78]=on
I also saw, that there is an user-mode Vulkan driver available from qualcom for Android Marshmallow (developer.qualcomm.com/software/adreno-gpu-sdk/tools)
, but not yet for Nougat (but still, this is a good sign for the future)
Also, did anyone already test a google daydream vr kit with this device ?
vulkan will not be available yet, even with a daydream vr, it won't work on this phone because it's not fully nougat ready.
Vulkan is there!
I just installed CM14.1 on two devices for friends and both AIDA64 and this tool report vulkan support.
Here are the results for Le Max 2:
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=847
thank you abufrejoval
according to you report, you are right
it supports the same vulkan api level 1.0.20 as the google pixel (good news)
but the driver is older (48.836.919 instead of 53.79.911 ) (bad news)
hope they will update it in the future
i will try to build a little apk demo tomorrow, so one can check if it works smoothly
@xterminater07 : what do you mean by not fully nougat ready ? that it's only beta version ?
only requirements i know are : api level for the apps, and bluetooth 4.2 for the remote
Vulkan can only work on nougat rom, and there is no official leeco eui nougat yet. I have spoke to leeco tech support, they told me le max 2 is daydream ready once nougat is out, but does not mention anything about having the vulkan api.
Will daydream on Le Max 2 support the LeVR Pro 1 sensors, because without them won't the experince be as jittery as cardboard?
It's also IPS instead of AMOLED which the Daydream certification also specifies.
May be able to hack Daydream compatibility into LeMax 2 once it gets Nougat, but it can never be certified for Daydream by Google because it's not AMOLED and IPS apparently doesn't have fast enough refresh rate for Daydream (it is supposed to cause sim sickness).
Is Vulkan really enabled on our kenzo?
I think not...can not run HIT on maximum graphics (6) which is Vulkan. Tried official LineageOS and NitrogenOS.
So it says in aida64 that we have libvulkan.so library...driver version 45.730.331, api version 1.0.20, but cant run games on Vulkan graphics
Anyone able to?
I could download and play VG: Vulkan only after changing build prop to imitate Note 7, after changing back game wouldn't even start.
Vulkan for Redmi Note 3 is from Mi Max's N GPU Blob.
It isn't native for RN3, but is for Adreno 510.
Also, Play Store enables Vulkan Games only if it feels like our device has vulkan. So,we need to change build.prop to that of note 7 or s7.
Hit thanks if I helped.
Edit:- this is one of the reasons why I left Nougat...

Why you left N? or you mean MM?
I know that...but even though you cant put on maximum graphics in HIT (6-Vulkan), only on 5. It says it doesnt support...and I had build.prop set to SM-N930F...
Vulkan beta plays on our device, but graphics and temperatures are basically same as in standard Vainglory, so I think its not actuallly running on Vulkan, same goes for Asphalt8,..
Also in aida64 under display->devices it says OpenGL 3.2
Only under devices it shows Vulkan Device Adreno510
So whats the point of having Vulkan blobs from mi max if it doesnt work in reality.... I hope this will get fixed somehow, or in doing it wrong.
In that case,
1.) Clear HIT Cache.(not data)
2.) Check for any update on play store
3.) Change from note 7 to s7 (I personally used s7 mod)
4.) Try a reboot
5.) If it does not work,try re-installing HIT from Play Store with the build.prop mod enabled
Try the above methods. If they do not work,try a clean flash of any vulkan nougat rom.
Reasons why I left Nougat:-
I didn't like the concept of changing build.prop for vulkan standalone. I wanted it to be kenzo only,not some crappy phone that can do wonders.
Moreover,the difference was minute, particle effect was detailed, and that's all....
Hello,
i am coming from an OnePlus 3, just bought the le max 2 because oft the better screen, i am watching much VR stuff. Is there a possibility to activate Google daydream VR like on the OP3?
Thanx in advance
Non OLED screen mobile phones are not officially Daydream compatible. It's because of the lower refresh rates on the LCD panels.
Yes use a nougat ROM and follow these instructions https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5hno6u/got_daydream_to_work_on_my_5x_might_work_on_other/
Thank you
One last minor issue, where am i able to find the NFC options? At the moment i habe to turn the flight mode on to use Daydream. Isnt a big problem, just for me as i am a lil lazy :laugh:
Oh wow I have been looking for a way to use daydream without enabling developer mode and skipping vr entry screen and never though about using airplane mode. Thank you. But if you really want to skip that step (but I don't recommend it since sensors won't be calibrated) follow the instructions under EDIT 2 in the link I sent you. (EDIT 2: If you're having problems, go into the Daydream app and tap on the build version a few times to activate developer mode. Then go into the developer mode screen and enable "Skip VR Entry Screens". I believe this is only necessary if you don't have a Daydream headset or controller, but can't confirm that.)
That wont be a problem, i got a headset and a controller. One weird thing is happening, the picture when i am looking through the headset isnt straight, it slightly bents to the right. Pressing the O button on the controller doesnt solve the problem, so i dont exactly know what to do.
Thanx for your help. I will keep on using the airplane mode then. Is there any SBS/OU viewer app which is able to play DTS sound? VRTV unfortunately doesnt and sky viewer isnt starting at all.
Problem with Daydream VR Games
I got problem with most of Daydream VR Games they not launch in VR mode but in 2D mode although the controller still working even in 2d mode.
Only five game that work perfectly Gunjack2, Gunship battle 2, Layers of Fear, NFS No Limits VR, SBK VR and the daydream app it self, beside that like i said before launch in 2D mode.
Please some one tell me what should i do or can you tell me any custom ROM for play Daydream perfectly.
My device 820 version use Lineage OS Version 14.1-20171027-Nightly-x2 with Vulkan mod
What type of VR googles (other then Daydream) are you using? Le Max 2 is quite big phone and I have problem finding proper googles.

Iam Using FiitVR 2S https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholes...1&SortType=price_asc&g=y&SearchText=FiitVR+2S
Hi guys, I just bought a Bobo VR Z5 (with Daydream controller) and Le max 2(x821). When I got it, I immediately flash best in my opinion ROM for this - Resurrection Remix, with Android 7.1.2, becuase it support Vulkan API. Daydream APP and other stuff I'm install through the Google Play Store, next pair controller. But the point is, Leeco doesn't have NFC and I must turning ON the airplane mode every time until Daydream begin works, and than turn off Airplane mode, and Turn On internet to use Daydream. Everything workings fine but its quite tiring to switch all this things every time. So my question is: Is there any "NFC" emulator app? If Daydream App detect the NFC is "ON" it will be great. Thanks for advice
Ok I got it...

Thats all. But before it, U must pair controller. And set "Daydream View" in settings for this headset. Some games not run properly, like Fruit Slicer or InMind VR 2, this games run into 2D mode. But most games run just great, NFS NL VR, The Turning Forest etc. So I may reccomend Leeco Le Max 2 for Daydream use

Ok so since I have the le max 2 x820 (same phone, different bands/rom on delivery) could I actually use the google day dream (same rom than you) whole not just the controller? Any particular reason you bough another headset?
I'm looking for a good mobile vr headset to take advantage of my phone when I'm not at home to use the HTC Vive. I was looking to take the white xiaomi vr headset with controller (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBH91MhRtdg) but since I can't find any information on it and if there are hack to use it with my phone I may go with daydream.

Daydream apps and controller, so whole of this U can use. I bought another headset becuase its cheaper and 'Daydream readu', but this isnt true. If U like to buy Vr headset, buy original Daydream gogles. I heard that Daydream headset is better immersive becuase all apps is configured on it. I hope this will help U make a decision gl

Thanks for taking the time to answer
So i did get the Google daydream headset, modified the handheld XML file and download the store and the store worked OK same as other Google aps but there is some noticeable jittering/lag when I move my head around, it's very nauseous ( and i am never sick with m'y HTC vive). Also other apps crash constantly (netflix) or launch in 2d (no split view). Any idea?
Yes, daydream not run perfectly in Le Max 2, but in most apps it worls great
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------
And lag is actually not annoying later Le Max 2 is unfortunately not oled screen, so lag will be seen time to time
OK so i shouldn't be expecting better from it ? I guess i'm going to return it then because that kind of defy the purpose of it to me =(
Thing is that when i move m'y head everything is super super blurry.
That really doesn't look "normal" to me. If it is then I don't get the good talk about VR mobile =\

if your Daydream app/games launch in 2d just change the ROM, i have try 3 rom. Lineage OS get this issue so it is not good for Daydream, Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 Some app/games most of them heavy game such as " Arcslinger " sometimes get bad performance and screen flickering, the best ROM for Daydream i think PURE NEXUS PROJECT. after instal the rom just follow this instruction correctly https://www.xda-developers.com/force-daydream-vr-compatibility/ and you will get perfect compatible for Daydream.
I not try other rom maybe there are another perfect rom for daydream i don't know. for now iam using Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 because PURE NEXUS PROJECT have bug with screen recorder and i really more need screen recorder than perfect compatible for Daydream.
I'm currently thinking about getting a 2nd backup phone in addition to my LG V10. One of the things important to me is the Camera2 API support level of the device as I'm keen on using pro video recording apps that utilise this API for more advanced controls (manual exposure etc). I've already made some inquiries about the Sony Xperia X in the corresponding forum here but one of the alternatives I'm considering is the Lenovo Moto Z. There are two free apps on the PlayStore that can test the Camera2 API implementation of an Android device: "Camera2 probe" and "Camera2 Probe" (sorry can't link as I'm still a newbie). Would anyone with a Moto Z be so nice to quickly run one of the two probing apps and tell me about the 'Hardware Level Support Category' of this phone? (categories are: 'Legacy', 'Limited', 'Full' and 'Level 3').
Thanks in advance!

From what I learned in another thread the Z Play does not have full Camera2 API support. Therefore it will either be "Limited" or "Legacy". Depending on the device though "Limited" might be enough if you are only after longer shutter speeds for photos but I can't say for sure. You might wanna find my thread in the Z Play forum (title is something like "Does FilmicPro run on the Z Play") and ask someone there to run a Camera2 probe app.

The hope is the end of November. The reality may be December.
Do you think it will add hdr10 in netflix and/or youtube?
I'm pretty sure HDR support in both Netflix and YouTube is up to Google and Netflix. They have "approved devices" in their support sections of their websites and the only Nokia phone on YouTube is the Siccorro 8 and Netflix has no Nokia phones listed as supported. I don't know if Nokia is responsible for requesting support or what but an update won't change anything about support with either service.
