Android 10 update kills Daydream compatibility - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Just like that, without any notice or warning, Daydream no longer works on my S9+.
The same applies to S9 and Note 9, which used to be perfectly compatible with Daydream, but now all you get is this:

}
Note that the scene behind this dialog window is actually perfectly rendered, and the phone itself is using the "low motion-blur" screen mode.
The problem is, in Android 8 and Android 9, these phones have defined a system flag "android.hardware.vr.high_performance", which is no longer defined on Android 10.
This is a Samsung-specific problem, as Pixel phones running Android 10 can still use Daydream perfectly (as reported in this Reddit thread).

Another ****ing moronic screw up of Samsung devs... did you post on their forum and report this via Samsung members ?

I did report via Samsung Members, and their first response was: "We don't actually develop the Daydream app. We'd recommend contacting the developers of the app, so that they can begin implementing a fix.". Disappointing to say the least.
I've followed up with some technical details (mentioned the same system flag), let's see if that helps.
I'm not sure which forum should I post this at, can you give me a link, please?

OK, so their second response was as dumb as the first one...

Anyway, started a thread on their forum as well.

Isnt daydream a google developed service? Maybe they didnt update their app for the update pushed to our devices?

The app version doesn't matter: if it detects that the device doesn't specify the particular hardware flag I've mentioned, it won't run.
Samsung has removed this flag in Android 10 for some reason. All they need to do is to add
Code:
<feature name="android.software.vr.mode" />
<feature name="android.hardware.vr.high_performance" />
to /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml, and it will work again. Google can't do it for them...

Typical Samsung... The support doesn't even ****ing read the messages !
I will reply to your thread on the forum.
Maybe if you send another message on Members just mentioning that they missed the flags (I mean keeping it short), maybe the support will actually pass it on to dev team ?
Maybe also don't mention daydream so it won't confuse the support with another app and a third party developer ?

This working yet?

[TOOL] US Enabler 1.0

Now, I apologize in advance for this very...VERY ugly/horrific looking program, but I just whipped it together to save peoples time. I didn't really have too much time to make a typical 'qberty' styled GUI for this app, but it still does what it needs to do. Speaking of which.
The 'Unknown Sources' Enabler

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Don't ask about the background, i don't know why its purple )
This application runs on a windows pc. This application allows ANY user with ANY Android ROM with ANY Android phone to enable the 'Unknown Sources' option without physically going there to switch it on.
Why would you want to do that? Well, I first had the need to do this because of a certain ROM (Eagle Eye) that did not even have this option. So this application allows anyone without this option (or just wants to enable US a lot quicker) to do that nice and easy without having to sift through ADB's functions and SQLites confusion.
With an easy click this app will make the change on any android powered device.
Direct Download @ 0m3ga
If more people are actually interested in this a lot more, i will expand on it, depending on user feedback. Otherwise, there are no future release plans.
And also to the people wondering why I keep posting universal applications in this section of the forum. I have an HTC Magic 32A. So, I stick around here 98% of the time, so this is where i post 'em.
aaah, only windows version? hehe what about me and all linux users
Thanx for the tool man!
i'm uppping a patch for the rom today, which makes this tool not needed sorry

It wont be needed once you patch YOUR rom. But I have seen other people have this problem with some other roms.
Also, a linux version is possible, if more people want it.
sorry was not meant to be rude or anything, but yes it was meant that in eagle eye it's fixed in the rom now
Would this work on an official ROM? Say, to enable sideloading on a Samsung Captivate where this option isn't in the menus?

This will work on any ROM, any Device that supports ADB. As stated in the first post, all this does, is enable 'Unknown Sources' for people too lazy to go and enable it themselves or they don't even have that option.

Smart Lock feature on the leaked lollipop roms

The title says it all.
Moderators, if I posted in the wrong section, please direct this thread to the proper one.
So one of the biggest features that I've looked forward to when Lollipop was announced was the smart lock feature, especially the trusted face one. I was so giddy when I finally got to test it out when I tried CM12 build, though it didn't function as well the way I saw it perform on my friend's nexus 7. I was so excited to try this out when lollipop was leaked both to the Note 3. I was utterly disappointed though that it was missing. I've tried beckoning the few developers who have cooked up ROMS from the leaked lollipop.
So I guess this is me beckoning everyone else who have the means to try and figure out if Samsung simply buried trusted face or not and if it is possible to bring it out.

try clicking on the hidden content. I wasn't referring to smart lock in general, I was pointing out that trusted face is missing from the smart lock features.
here's an example:
i see what you mean now however i don't think Samsung disabled it though. I think it's tied to the Google play services app.
i was able to get trusted places by installing a leaked apk from APK Mirror

hmm okay, I really tried researching on it but since lollipop isn't official yet on most Samsung devices except for a few ones that already got an OTA(S5) and nobody really ever bothered, I think.
I've updated my google play services and I still don't have it, can you link it by any chance?
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google.../google-play-services-6-5-99-1642632-446-apk/
trusted place has been there since the beginning, I was referring to trusted face--which still isn't there even with the latest google play services.

Stop update to Android 12.

Is there a way to stop the auto update to 12? I had to send mine to Nokia to get downgraded back to 11 cause for one thing, it killed the dual SIM capability. Then, i just hate the UI and refuse to pay for apps to fix the look. I have looked everywhere and all the guides say to go to a certain place and disable them, but that doesnt exist in Android ONE i guess. I dont really want to try a custom ROM cause im sure it wont support dual SIM either.
Find the OTA update app and do a adb edit to disable it. Package Disabler has a variant for model other than Samsung, that might work too.
On Samsung's they look like this, ws.dm is the prime offender...

Where do you find this?
I use this. For non-Samsung devices navigate towards the bottom of that page. You can contact them by email with a question too.

I would not recommend this sites app to anyone. I tried to buy it last night and 24hrs later, I still have no app to download. I found your post from a Google search. Email went unanswered.

Give them a business day or two... jeeesze. Do a charge back on the card if you must. I've been using them for over 3 years, no worries, as I am now.

that's no help. it gets stuck at the set up
Uninstall and then reinstall then... I mean that's what I would try doing. Just trying to help. Some people don't appreciate anything anymore.
It works now, I dunno what changed but I just tried again for like the 20th time and it finally worked
Glad to hear.
Im having the same problem, i tried more that 20 times.
"Couldnt connect to your watch".
Same problem here.
Restarts don't help, reinstalling assistant (watch and phone) doesn't help, and clearing cache for assistant and Google app doesn't help
After i factory reset my watch, the setup went smoothly on the first try.
This worked
I also had to factory reset and it didnt set work on the first attempt

			
				
Could be due to your geographic location?
Try doing this.....
devils avocado.....
why couldnt this question be answered in an existing thread (of which there are 5 already of which the best palce was arguably "Official Google Assistant For GW4 Available")....was creating yet another thread on a hot topic thereby diluting discussion on the existing ones, where no doubt the issue would come up, really the best idea?
creating an entire new thread just because maybe youre in a hurry feeling FOMO and want immediate answers is possibly/maybe/arguably kinda selfish
Apparently it will not work on Android 11 below ,Well this is Bull* by Google, they are forcing you to be on Android 11 for it to work

Question Does the OOS13 update fix the storage issue in OnePlus 9 ?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a US model LE2115 OnePlus 9 and I saw that many people have storage full issue, Is the problem fixed now ?
Curious about this as well. Went to a custom rom for this reason.

StagOS 12. Developer is working on 13 right now but there's some issues with data and it's still in beta. It comes with a safetynet fix so no need to deal with Magisk if you don't want to. It's not perfect, PNC bank and Netflix refuse to run, but Google Pay and every other banking app and brokerage account I use works. The Microsoft Authenticator I need for work runs without issue as well. It has Pixel exclusive things like AI screen calling. And the system takes up a diminutive 6.1G. OOS12 was sucking down a quarter of my memory and the "Other" folder was growing every day.
Nope, it still seems to use a lot of storage.. I'm going to move to a custom ROM

I think oos13 storage issue is fixed...
I've been using 13 about a few days, It doesn't seem ever reoccurring, original issue was image and audio file system duplicated them as soon as you have one copy on your storage,. Attach my storage screenshot it should be self explainatory .. others category we never get clear answer from OnePlus, but at least is not doubling image and audio..from what I understanding this others could be Color os extra stuff add on top of original stock a13.
My issue, similar to what cp posted, was Other would keep getting larger and larger. According to LTT, it's OOS storing logs that they never delete.
Is this fixed yet? It happened on my old Nord N10 last month. I want to get rid of my N200, should I but a OP 10T or Nothing Phone (1)? r/OnePlus' Discord isn't being very helpful.
