so i have a mi 9t pro coming should have it by the end of the week and plan to root it if need be to get daydream VR working as i want to play rez infinite on it
it has a 6.39 inch screen so just wondering what is most recommended headset to buy that would work and have a functional bluetooth controller comparable to the one that comes with daydream view
initially was just going to buy the cheapest VR headset i could find something like the VR box 2.0 as least phone should fit in that, but then i thought maybe a daydream view 2017 version would be better at least would come with better controller that offically works with daydream vr and bigger FOV then the original and it supported the note 8 which had bigger dimensions then the mi 9t pro, then i thought maybe i am better off buying a headset that lets you adjust the focal range and things like that but then am i giving up controller support if i go down that route
so yeah just a little confused as before all i had was gear vr on galaxy S7 and that was just plug and play moving out of that ecosystem and into strange generic android mobile VR i am just not sure what to be looking for that would work for daydream VR with a bluetooth controller
so what headset do most people get these days for non gear vr phones that want to be able to use daydream VR apps and games?
so i have found that you can buy a few compatible aftermarket controllers floating around just wondering do you lose any functions from using them over the standard daydream view VR controller and if they are worth it over just buying a secondhand view controller
also still no closer to working out what the consensus of what mobile VR headset to buy these days if wanting to use daydream but not the daydream view, i see a few bundles offering VR headsets with aftermarket controllers are they worth paying for over secondhand view headsets

Yeah it's been fine , I just use the android 9 unlock method with the pixel 3 xl zip on latest miuimix rom
Everything works as normal the headset just thinks phone is a pixel 3 when I turn module on, I turn it off again when I don't need it
Apps I just install via apkpure or other methods currently have rez infinite, dr splotchy adventure , gunjack 2 , Skybox to stream my library my external storage of HD vr videos if U get my drift (wink wink) all work fine no issues

Mate, are you still using the daydream up to this point?
So I need root to spoof the device as a Pixel 3 XL?
What are the pros of it versus the conventional VR experience?
Will it still work with MIUI 12? Sorry for so many questions
Cheers

im looking to try out some vr headsets for my honor 5x , which is running the latest cm13 build . ive never tried vr glasses so i dont kow how well it works.
im looking to try watching some movies and playing some games.
can someone recommend me some great vr headsets for the honor 5x ???
budget is $25 - $75 . but willing to pay more for the best exerience :fingers-crossed:
How about Alcatel VR headset.
FYI, when you'll use VR with a 1080p phone you'll see pixels
Do u have virtual gyro enabled ? I'm not sure about the experience provided by virtual gyro if enabled.
Currently VR is in growing phase. I'm using ANT VR and Circle VR currently which is a basic one having good experience but not the best.
Hi,
I have this idea and would like to validate if it is feasible:
-What if I use one of those cheap VR headset , for example,
ebay.com/itm/New-1pcs-3D-Glasses-VR-Box-Headset-Google-Cardboard-Virtual-Reality-Hot-/391636008832?hash=item5b2f533f80:g:tvsAAOSwZQRYWNTS
- Then install controller-emulator app on of my old android 6.0:
developers.google.com/vr/daydream/controller-emulator
-Then I launch the Daydream app on my Axon 7 manually (no need for the fancy NFC trigger)
Is there anything that could stop this from working? I do not think the google daydream viewer has any special sensors or anything, right?
This is working but there are problems with the functionality by using the emulator method. Inputs weren't recognized in my lollipop device.
On mm it could work.
Why don't you try the emulator before buying the VR headset?
It did work perfectly for me. I used it to try daydream before deciding to purchase it. I used a Nexus 4 as a controller

Thanks, but why would you still purchase google's viewer if this method of using cheap one with emulator is working? you just wanted higher quality headset?

The Daydream headset is quite nice, compared to the carboard one I used for testing, and the actual controller is much better than a phone because you can actually feel and press the buttons. With a phone, you don't really know where your finger is and you have to do strange things like double clicks to simulate some controller actions. The controller, though, sometimes has problems, like losing connection, which a phone does not have. Hopefully they will get solved with firmware updates

To be honest I just want the controller. I have a "VR" headset (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/retrak-utopia-360-virtual-reality-headset/5449500.p?skuId=5449500) that works well enough and fits more securely than a Daydream viewer would (had an extra support strap).

They are also selling VR remotes on ebay, but I have no idea if they will work with daydream.

They won't
So we can outright say that the Pocofone F1 is an absolute beast in terms of raw power and that makes it a perfect candidate for budget portable gaming station. The only thing that we need now is an app that can help to play touchscreen games via a gamepad. Since most games(and some emulators) don't natively support gamepads, an app that'll emulate gamepad buttons to touch presses on the phone will be a necessity.
I've been googling a lot to find an app of such kind but couldn't really find a perfect solution. So far I've tried these :
1. Tincore key mapper : Requires root and SE set to permissive. Works but touches are getting pressed at all the wrong places and not at the user defined places. So discarded.
2. Octopus : works but is spammed with too many intrusive ads , requires a lot of permissions and most of all not all analog sticks work. So discarded again.
3. Gkm touch: not working
4. Game controller touch 2 : not working.
5. USB/BT joy centre : not working.
So as you can see I can't find any app that works perfectly. I'd really appreciate it if someone can point me towards an app that works or if there's another perfect solution.
Thanks in advance.
i'm having the same problem
I spend like 2 weeks to use my wired xbox360 gamepad on miui 10,
I have rooted my phone,
I put permission files and .kl files
Use octopus,tincore,panda gamepad,controller keymappers,joystick center
Nothing happen,
Now i try to downgrade to miui9
And i search for pros and cons of downgrade
But i'm really scared this may brick my phone
I on the edge,
Suck miui 10
They try to sell their great ass xiaomi gamepad,
It's kind of cheating, i think??

I think that you are right. It is MIUI. The Redgear gamepad which my grandson has, works with my OP3 with Octopus. But it doesn't work with Octopus on my son's F1 running MIUI 10.
i tried panda gamepad pro but it doesn't work it has bean instaled and activated and everything thing is goin will but in the games doesn't respond to any key
I use app called "Shooting Plus V3" with my Ipega PG-9156 gamepad (via bluetooth). App works good without root.
When connecting the Dualshock 4 controller through bluetooth it does not work and while disconnecting the whole setting is struck, cannot even turn off the Bluetooth without rebooting. It does not even work on the ps4 remote play. Does anyone have the same problem with tab s6 or any solution?
Have you put it in pairing mode (Hold SHARE & PS button until the lightbar rapidly blinks then use the Console's original USB to connect the first time)?
Same issue here
It paired correctly but it doesn't work in any way and when I try to disconnect it the bluetooth menu freeze until reboot. Tried on my s10 too and it works well there.
I've also tried connecting it via USB cable and it seems to work in that way. Probably a software issue. We have to let Samsung know about this.
It's amazing how many people will learn of the news of Remote Play being available on all android devices but don't take the time to read the rest of the news.
Even if you get the controller paired with the tablet, it's not going to work with the remote play app. It's been stated multiple times that proper DS4 support won't come until Android 10. Some people have gotten it to work with the older models of the DS4 controllers (the one with the terrible battery life and no light bar in the front) but only wired and even then, it doesn't work for every phone and tablet out there.
Does not work for me too. Even with USB. Same controller works great on my Nexus 6P with Andorid 9 though.
I contacted Samsung Support twice about that but they just talked around the problem and didn't bother to reproduce it. So I think there won't be a fix soon. Maybe with Android 10. One UI sucks, btw. Would so love the Tab S6 with Vanilla Android.

The DS4 works 100% via USB on the S8 (US). I've used the S10, N10+, and T S6 (US models). DS4 input is ignored by all. Thankfully, I own the BT enabled XO controller so it's all good.

After the October update I just got it seams to work good. Wireless and wired! Unfortunately as stated above the PS4 Remote Play app works with the DS4 starting with Android 10. So my pixel 3 works. Not so my Tab S6. And the alternative Pstreamer does not yet work with the PS4 7.0 firmware.
After today update (1st September patch) the controller had start to work flawlessly as it does with my s10. Try to manually search for the update or wait until it'll come

So globally, only (for now) the xbox one controller works, over BT with the Sams. Galaxy Tab S6.
This I understand from online information.
Perhaps some one can post his/her experience with this.
Or does indeed have Sams. a secret partnership with MS, this looked at the price of an xbox one controller.
I assume not, though.

I have updated my firmware after the latest update the controller works fine I think it was a bug. But for playing playstation remote play ds4 is not supported unless android 10. I hope it comes faster that the rumored date :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:.
Hello everyone. I've fallen into a deep rabbit hole of troubleshooting with my Redmi Note 9 Pro EU with Android 11 and MIUI 12.5.8 on board.
I want to play Fortnite Mobile as a great break between everyday activities, so I found a cheap second-hand Nintendo Switch controller and tried to play with it. It's connecting by bluetooth but doesn't work in the game... I tried with USB OTG and it worked ONCE after some messing with the Octopus app in Fortnite and Brawhalla. I was so happy, but it never worked again.
So, I found another controller - this time designed for Android - Stratus XL - but this pad is even bigger mess. It connects by bluetooth as well as OTG but nothing works in games.
SOOOOOOOO I bought an original PS4 controller because I read many optimistic articles and people's comments, that Dualshock is supported by Android. And I'm used to this pad - it's my teenage memory
Indeed, it works beautifully with Android (the touch bar works as a mouse), but it again DOESN'T work with the games..........
Now I'm pissed off. I don't want to buy another controller... and Nintendo Switch pad worked once...
I'm thinking about what I can change in the system, to bind the buttons properly for the games I play...
On the XDA DEV forum, I found 1controller module, but it was written in the times of Android 9 or 10, and I'm not sure if I want to root my phone just to check it out.
Anyway, I'm sure that I'll need to access root at some point, but first I need a piece of good advice from someone who knows something about Android.
I was thinking also about updating Android to v12... but I'm also not sure about it. Maybe there is something easier I can do... because if Nintendo Switch pad WAS WORKING ONCE.... (this is so confusing xD )
PLZ help me configure a gamepad on Android
