I'm using a modified APK of Hearthstone on my N5 w/ 5.0.1 that runs well, but in-app purchases aren't working due to sideloading it. So I'd like to install it "properly". The game officially requires a 6"+ screen to install, though I don't know if spoofing the screen size/DPI is all that's needed to install it properly. Not sure if I have to make the store think I have a different device entirely. If that is the case, is editing build.prop the best solution? Info about spoofing the device with build.prop is a bit sketchy, not sure about keys etc.
I was recommended something called Market Helper but it seems that has been retired.
Sideload the market helper apk.
Is there any besides this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146216 Comments said it's no longer being maintained and doesn't work on Android 5.

mmmhhh.. I've read that it's exclusively work on pixel's, i think some dev have to add some libs to works on our actual n5x... are you sure you tried ?
I tried it, but the app told me I need the Google VR Services in a newer version. The version on APKMirror was not enough.
But looks very promising

The official reason the Nexus 5X doesn't support Daydream is because of it's thermal limits. If it works unofficially just make sure it won't overheat in the headset.
just tried it. installed all the apk from apkmirror.com but got a message that my device is not compatible.
Does someone have any idea how to use the Daydream controller in Youtube Cardboard mode?
I'll do my best to help where I can. I have a daydream on order, should arrive in a few days. So far I have downloaded the app from apkmirror. Once I opened the app, it said I needed newest Google VR Services. So I also downloaded the latest version from apk-mirror. That allowed me to go ahead with the setup of the daydream app. When I go to press the button to go into VR mode, it FCs daydream. Too early totell what this may mean, I need to get my daydream VR headset and get it paired up and I can play some more. I'm noticing that even the Daydream compatible games on the play store I cannot install to my phone because the play store reports them as incompatible with the 5x.
I'm using Pixelrom v3.21, which is Nougat 7.1.1 DP1 based.
Got my headset yesterday after seeing the video but it doesn't really proof anything. After installing the apk, the app crashes when trying to enter the VR mode. It's not recognizing the headset via NFC and the controller doesn't work.
But I was able to install 3rd party VR apps and use them with the headset. After using it for an hour it got pretty hot, so you might want to give it a break after a while.
So in the end you have a comfortable cardboard without the controller and daydream app.
Tried it with stock 7.0.0 and developer beta 7.1.1.

Thank you, but it still says it needs to update when I try and launch it. I already tried restarting my phone, Have you done anything else diffrently?
I remember uninstalling, then reinstalling daydream and I didn't get the update message again.

I have tried reinstalling now, still no change in behavior.
So I finally got my Daydream viewer and remote from Google. The controller pairs with no issues. The headset has a built in NFC chip, so when you put your phone I to the headset, it must auto launch some program. However, when I put In The 5x, it just displays a message saying this phone is incompatible with the 5x. So I can't even use the nice headset with Google cardboard, unless I disable the NFC.
The daydream app instantly crashes when I hit the viewer icon so that doesn't work either. So ATM I cant do anything at all with the daydream viewer. I'm sure in time someone can reengineered the daydream app to work with other phones, or trick the app into thinking it is a Pixel, but ATM it's useless.
Oh well.
Im also getting the needs updates google vr services, last installed the versions uploaded to apkmirror november 21st (yesterday) although version number indicates it's November 19th build.
Tried uninstalling, deleting cache, restarting to no avail.... any help?!
have you tried modifiny your build.Prop to make it look like a pixel
and download some game (wonderland) from the playstore ?
does the controller also work ?
if u guys are very eager in using daydream vr in nexus 5x... maybe u can try doing what they did in
nexus 6p to get daydream working. goodluck

Im so disappointed that Daydream doesnt work with my 5x, that and getting rid of the ugly google search bar were the 2 things that I was looking forward to the most from 7.1 and neither happened...
Just flashed stock Android O to my pixel xl then rooted. Samsung pay doesn't seem to even start whereas before with root it would start but then say it doesn't work on a rooted device. This would leave me to believe that SPay didn't work yet on Android O. Can anyone offer input on this? Thanks
Was just about to come and ask the same question. I know it was not working at all on the Beta of Android Oreo but I thought it would on the official build but nope, looks like we gotta wait for Samsung to update something...the Spay app or the gear app...dunno.

Is your gear S3 actually working on Android O? When I was on DP4 on my Pixel I could not even connect it to my phone and the gear app wasn't compatible via the play store either

Mine is working on O. I get all my notifications and everything like before, just SPay won't even start.
Same Here cant get Samsung Pay to install on Pixel running Oreo then obviously cant setup on my Frontier
Same here with my Nexus 6P, everything except Spay seems to be working fine.
Joined the Android Beta program last week in order to get the 8.0 OTA on my Pixel without waiting. As others have noted, everything else works fine (mostly) but Samsung Pay doesn't open and delivers a crash dialog when opening the Gear app. Also visiting the Play Store no longer shows the Pay app at all, and going to the Play Store on my PC while logged into my Google account lets me get to the Pay app page, but it's marked "This app is incompatible with your device." So, no way to reinstall. (Also, the Pay app is no longer in the launcher or in the Gear applications list.)
I assumed I was out of luck probably until Samsung releases Oreo on their phones, when I'd expect an 8.0-compatible version of the Gear and Pay apps to be available. HOWEVER, in scrolling through my running apps today on my Pixel, what should I see in the list? SAMSUNG PAY. Running in the background. Well, I thought, what if I just access the Storage page and clear the cache and data and restart it? VOILA! I used my watch (not the phone!) to launch Pay, and it immediately opened the setup dialog on my phone. I was able to sign back into my Samsung Pay account and re-add all my credit cards without any problem, and everything is now working fine.
EXCEPT -- the Pay app still doesn't appear in the Launcher or in the Gear apps list, so I guess it's running in some weird stealth mode. But it's running, which is all I care about. So if SPay isn't working for you after updating to Oreo, try Settings > Apps, find the app in the list, go to Storage, and delete data and cache. Launch Pay from the watch and see if it works.
(Note that I am on the OTA install, which means my phone wasn't wiped to install Oreo and the Pay app was still on the phone. If you flashed from the bootloader and you are installing from scratch I think you're out of luck since there's no way to reinstall Pay just yet.)

I accidentally uninstalled Samsung Gear trying to fix this issue. How can I get the Samsung Gear apk again? Is there any way you can pull the APK (AirDroid makes this very easy) and you can upload it?
Found a solution on Pixel XL using Oreo (OPR6) which is rooted using SuperSU and has SU Hide.
1. Download Samsung Pay for Android Wear
2. Download Samsung Pay framework
3. Install both
4. Hide both in SU Hide (tap each app once)
5. Turn off AdGuard (probably just me) to connect to server
6. add cards and let the cashiers be wowed by the magic of the gear S3
*Edit*- I will add that Samsung Pay doesn't show up in the Samsung Gear app or in the apps listed on the watch (shows SPAY version 0.0.1), but SPAY will open when you use the watch.

Thanks so much but is there any way you can upload the Samsung Gear app itself? The main one? The one for non-Samsung phones? It absolutely refuses to show up in the Google Play Store because I am on 8.0

Edit: read your post wrong. Here is the link for the gear app not the SPay app.

That's really strange -- I'm on 8.0 and never had any problem seeing the Gear app in the Play Store, only the SPay app. Have you tried accessing the Play Store from your PC while logged into your Google Account? When you do that, the Gear app will always show up -- it will just tell you if it's able to be installed on your device or if your device is incompatible. What does it say?

i'm on pixel but since there's no magisk yet
we can only use suhide but samsung pay still detect root
maybe it's because of busybox but i can't find busybox anywhere
does supersu use busybox? i looked in xbin, system/bin. still nothing
Hi there,
running OmniROM without root, but the Samsung Pay still shows me my phone is rooted. Is there any app to trick the Samsung app? I see you are mentioning SUHIDE, but I don't want to root. Thanks

I believe omnirom has busybox as part of the ROM itself. SPay detects Busybox as root and therefore won't work.
Hi, I have a Pixel XL running Oreo 8.1 DP2 and planning to ditch my Huawei watch for a Gear S3 Classic.
1) Is the compatibility good between Pixel and S3? (Accessing messages on my watch and customizing the watch faces are not big deal for me). Notifications, health tracking are what important for me.
2) Is Samsung Pay working on 8.1? SPay is the main reason I want to switch other than the better battery.
Is it a good idea switching from Android Wear to Tizen if my phone is Google Pixel?
Thanks in advance guys.
FYI, used this tutorial for my Huawei Mate 10 Pro and it worked like a charm! Thanks!!!
I wanted some new earbuds for the gym that would actually stay in my ears. I watched a lot of reviews on YouTube. I considered Air by crazybaby Nanos till I heard of the connection problems they had with the Micros. Finally I found the 2018 model of the IconXs.
The IconXs aren't going to blow you away, but they are a very good alternative to Airpods. Especially if you want more of a closed ear for passive noise canceling. They also majorly improved the battery life over last year's model. I was also able to buy them for $150 instead of the normal $200, because of Black Friday.
They have one Achilles heel though. The Android app only wants to work on Samsung phones. For other Samsung Gear someone created a modified app, and posted it to XDA. But the support for IconXs is added by a plugin. There is also one for the older model, and one for the newer model. For extra fun the app and the plugins have to be signed with the same key. But since the new 2018 plugin is so new, it hasn't been posted on XDA.
The app makes it easier to pair them with your phone. It lets you remap gestures and taps for control. It lets you load music on the 4gb of internal storage. It lets you control if it mixes in the environment with what is playing.
I am really disappointed in Samsung for locking the app to their phones. They seem to be a good to great hardware company, but seem to not understand software on some level.
I had to download the modified app, and the 2018 IconX plugin. Then I had to sign both on my laptop. Then I uploaded the modified copies to my phone, and installed them. Now it just works!
Instructions:
Download both apks, and sign.jar. Then run "java -jar sign.jar file.apk" once per apk. You will end up with two files with the same names, but with a .s prefixed before apk. Get those on the phone, and install them. You will need "Unknown sources" enabled on your phone.
Using this program to sign them isn't ideal. There are probably better ways to do this.

Resigned Galaxy Gear cannot find the IconX 2018
Hi there.
Thanks for the thread.
I did what you suggested and I was able to install Galaxy Gear. I also installed the resigned iconX 2018 plugin but since it's not an app you can open, I don't really have an indication if it worked or not.
When I open Galaxy Gear, it's not able to find my earbuds even when I have them in my ears (it's not detecting them even though my BT is on).
How did you detect the IconX 2018???
Thanks.
Note: I also tried a resigned Samsung Wearable (the new renamed Gear app) but even resigned, I wasn't able to install it at all (usual error message).
Are you just resigning the app? didn't change any code in the app?
I bought gear iconx today,i have honor note 8 which i really liked,after 1 hour i have managed to work iconx 2018 plug in properly,in order to work this apk you need modified gear iconx apk posted here and you need to download samsung accessory service apk from play store and that's it,now you got fully operating gear apk.
Here is the samsung app
hi so what im trying to do is use radeon relive without a daydream compatible phone (because my phone should be compatible with vr anyways I have the oneplus 7 pro) in other words is there anyway to bypass it detecting if u have a daydream compatible phone or not thanks for reading and any and all help will be apreciated
I'm not quite sure I understand your question correctly. Anyway, google daydream VR headset is working great with 7 pro. You'll need to install daydream enabler module v2.5 from SaveD . https://github.com/saved-j/Daydream-Enabler over magisk, and limit display to 60Hz.

So with the daydream enabler does that basically make the OnePlus 7 pro a compatible daydream device or at least trick it to think so? Because without that when u go into an app that needs a daydream compatible device it says that the device is not compatible and it doesn't let u use the app

It tricks Google play store and all apps it's Pixel XL. There's no functionality difference between how daydream software or hardware will work with 7 pro comparing to pixel XL. However, you should from time to time disable daydream enabler and restart (back in to 7 pro) otherwise you'll not receive OnePlus OS updates.
