Gear VR issues on Galaxy S7 Edge ... Shadows & dark environment rendering - Samsung Gear VR

Hi, I have been using gear vr with Galaxy s6 edge and never observed this phenomenon. However, it is very evident with galaxy s7 edge. Some of the dark environments and shadows appear too bright and pixelated. One example is the Cinema hall in Oculus Video where the back of the front seat is not showing any shadows and its like bright and pixelated dark spot. Same is the case if I look back in the corners and they appear bright and pixelated. Seems like rendering issue with shadows and dark environment. Any one else with this issue and any luck in finding a solution?

I have the same problem...

same problrm here too

Time for sammy/oculus to update/fix this. Let's go team! I suggest contacting samsung mobile US on twitter, they reapon to tweets-copy oculus while you're at it.

i saw it again but worse on verse app playing a video called catatonic

Are you rooted? That was the case with my S6 and the splotchy colors. I just reverted back to stock and it looks incredible. I rooted my phone before I ever even touched the GearVR so I've never seen how it's actually supposed to look. I just wish I could find a rooted kernel that doesn't have the color issue or at least a way to tether my knockoff PS3 controller via Bluetooth

AFAIK I was just on a stock rom with some rooted kernel, Unikernel, I believe, but I hear stories there are other kernels without the splotchy colors. I just have to find them.

Sure. The problem is I didn't realize the scarcity of Sprint ROMs and kernels for the S6 until after I bought it. Apparently other carriers are much more open so there's more custom stuff available. For the Sprint S6 there's only a handful of Lollipop options, but plenty for Marshmallow which I'm not upgrading to until the app devs get the MM game issues resolved. Half the games don't work under MM so I'm staying put. Off to continue my search...

Will not work on At&t SGH-i537?

Hello;
I have a rooted and unlocked at&t SGH-I537. MOST of the rom released have will not work on at&t SGH-I537. Is that true? Is there a way around it?
Thanks
The AT&T version of the Active currently (still) has a locked bootloader and until that gets cracked/hacked/bypassed in some manner then no, custom ROMs won't really appear at all.
All the ROMs for the Galaxy S4 will not work on the Galaxy S4 Active - they might share a lot in common but they are far from being the same phones.
Just have to be patient and hope a small miracle happens, but considering the already waning interest in the GS4A, it might never happen sadly.
I figured this phone would really take off...but at&t isn't really pushing this phone anymore. All I know is this is the last carrier specific phone I buy.

I thought this was going to be the last phone I buy for a few years, I guess I was wrong.
I have to admit I think the screen is killer on this phone. Way better than the amoled on the s4.

I prefer this screen too
Well this is a bummer, is there any new news on this situation? I kinda figured since it's an att exclusive phone it would have some limitations on the ROM front, but there isn't even one legitimate ROM out there for this awesome device?
-Thank you

There are no ROMs specifically for the I537, however...
Safestrap allows you to install (up to 4, theoretically) most any ROM out there at this point for primarily experimentation since there's only one that appears to be working properly but there's a specific sequence you have to follow to get everything working. You can find all the info you need as well as Safestrap in that thread located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448942
The only ROM that's working as I just mentioned is this one, the AOSP port of the Google Edition for the I9295 (the International GS4A):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406177
With Safestrap you can "install" a ROM that goes onto the native internal storage of the device, runs from the native internal storage, and now because of Hashcode's update has the full performance expected (all 4 cores recognized and working).
I currently have the stock MF3 ROM (the AT&T junk) install as expected, and then I installed Safestrap (updated to the newest one released on Sunday morning), added it as a recovery method, created a new slot (of the 4 you get) for the AOSP ROM, grabbed the ROM itself, the MF3 kernel modules which get the actual hardware like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functional (of which there are MF1 modules for the MF1 stock ROM available too), then the camera fix zip created/shared by LeJay to get a working camera. No you don't get all the Samsung additional stuff like HDR "Rich mode" shots, or a lot of customization at all but the camera does work for regular pics and video recording.
It runs very well, posts benchmarks well past the standard GS4 (meaning using stock ROMs for it), and the HTC One as well so it's great.
Graviton and S4 active
Just as an FYI I just got the Graviton ROM working on my S4 Active. Pretty much followed the same steps as Broadband. It just took some guess as to which kernel to choose. I also chose the i9505 model. The wifi fix works for this as well. I'm about to try the camera fix and the menu/back key fix
any one know if Samsung is planning to bring KitKat to S4 Active?
@Srolfe657 Did you ever get the camera working with the Graviton ROM? If so how?
It looks like there might be 2 ROMs out there that might work.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active#romList
I haven't tested them but I'm looking into it... I purchased my Active used and it was already rooted... currently running 4.2.2 and I want 4.4.2 so bad!!!!
Safestrap 3.65 not working
Has anyone gotten safestrap 3.65 to work I installed it seem to go smoothly then power cycle and no splash screen so I cant get into it . Should I be using CWM ? if so what version there isn't one listed for the s4 active.
Thanks for any help

[Q] Galaxy S5 Active

So I just got the AT&T S5 Active, the best comparison I could find is on GSM Arena, and its the not exact chipset label, slightly different so I'm hesitant to try putting a rom on it.
Any dev's care to try and help me out to figure out if a S5 ROM will work, without actually trying to put one on, and bricking my phone?
I'm not sure how the process works but I'm sure there is a test or something I can run without bricking my phone on a first attempt to put on a rom.
Bump!
Anyone else on here have a S5 Active that would like to know the same?
I have an S5 Active as well and want to put a custom ROM too. I really like the Xtrestolite ROM.

Hello!!
I have the s5 active, our bootloaders are locked just like the S5 ATT/VZW. You can install safestrap and flash any ROM that will work on the ATT S5 only. Xposed framework works, safestrap works, black theme works " need a few files from the international variant for black dialer/incallui to work right. I left mine stock, rooted via towel root, de bloated all the junk, black themed and Xposed framework tweaks. I just find stuff in the S5 threads and if I like I try lol..

It's alright but I want to be able to install android l when it comes out not two three years down the road when Samsung gets to it. And be able to use Xposed and get my 8 shortcuts back on my lockscreen. The heart rate monitor and the ability to take a double picture and funny noises while unlocking are all cute features but I need functional not cute features. So am I going to have to return my device for a different brand?

Is there not an official sub-forum/thread anywhere for this phone? I don't have the phone yet but have been searching to find some sort of development to decide if I should buy one. I really like this phone but no development is a deal breaker for me. I know this phone isn't at the top of the popularity list and that's probably why. My interest peaked when towel root made its debut and I've been itching to buy one ever since.
Can anyone else confirm that most/all at&t s5 goodies also work for the s5 active?

No such thing as s5 active roms supposedly. I haven't been keeping up with the forums for these anymore since this one is about it.
It's good enough of a phone without a rom. Battery life is good, runs great, I just want to debloat this thing of ATT/Samsung crap.

There is no sub forum for the S5 Active, the request has been submitted but not approved.
You can flash ROMs after you root the phone by following this thread; S5 regular roms will work, just not the active button.

You better return it then. Our phones have a locked bootloader. Locked bootloader means no kernel which means no alternative roms that don't use the stock touchwiz kernel.

Why Android 5?

I am the only one not interested in upgrading to Lollipop? I'm a big fan of Xposed, especially App Settings, as I do not like the standard DPI.
With the introduction of ART runtime, Xposed does not work. It does not look that likely that it will work anytime soon. This is have a big impact on my ability to customize my N910H.
I'm also a big fan of app settings, but that won't affect me changing the dpi, everything can be modded manually and flashed just like older days and enjoy the lower dpi values
Texted from Note 4

Thanks. I've admired your mods from my Note 2 days. As I haven't seen any DPI modded apps for the Note 4 I was getting concerned.
So you think that setting the system to, say, 420DPI, will not be a problem? Modded apps will appear for In Call UI, Lockscreen, Calc etc etc?

yes, it can be done. without xposed manual mods will be back in action
SO how does one change the dpi for apps without app settings?
I just need it for root explorer, gmail and chrome.
I imagine A5 will give us a bit more smooth trip with TW. Not even Samsung can mishandle A5 that much I hope I love xposed but I love a smooth and micro lag free ride even more.
my estimate is that when the big manufacturers (samsung/lg/motorola/etc) all finish updating their mid to top range smartphones to lollipop(lets say in samsung case for example: S4, note 3, S5, note 4) exposed will come with it as well. right now maybe 0.1% of all android devices have android 5.0, so I can see why the dev working on it taking his time as there is simply not high enough demand for it. (one of the reason i'm not upgrading to 5.0 too atm)

From what I've read it might be impossible to get ART working with xposed. I too am happy to wait, but we might never get xposed with A5

I am also very happy with Android 4.4.4, its got very little bugs, incredibly stable and efficient, all I want is further optimising of power usage and app optimisation, thats all I ask for, but hey, this is how tech works, got to moving, and the great thing in 5.0 is ART, apps should run faster, better audio, better memory management, etc etc...I am not in a rush, I am glad we will be getting 5.0.1 and not the buggy 5.0

Yep agree on that. Lollipop definately has some improvements over 4.4.4. Although 4.4.4 is really running perfectly.
I will be looking forward to 5.1 though, as 5.0.1 is not yet perfect...still has some bugs.
I thought I was the only one thinking like this because all I've been seeing is hype ? but reading through your comments got me thinking about actually upgrading to Lollipop... I love Xposed to the point I can't live without it but if 5.0.1 is THAT great... Idk anymore.
Also, does anyone know if there's an official forum or something here on xda for all this xposed situation?

I'm sure A5 will be great, but sure that that it will great enough to give up xposed, at least until there are alternatives for tweaking the UI. Xposed has its own forum on XDA. At present there doesn't seem much hope for getting it to work with A5.

Lollipop is awesome. I just put it on my mates sm-n910f, and we were looking at Google cardboard vr apps....
They were running at close to TWICE!! the frame rate that they were running at on KitKat touchwiz. Unbelievable.
The UI is noticeably much smoother too. Highly recommended. More than that, it's an absolute must have IMO..
I've got it on my s4 also, and there's not a thing I can do with it to make it skip a single frame anywhere. Love it.

I am sad.

This place is dead. Generic S6 forum is not much better. We have root, but nobody is doing anything with it.
Yeah.. it's seriously making me think of switching devices. I'm used to many custom roms, unlocked bootloaders, xposed, etc.. and this isn't cutting it for me. Sure, great device but.. I'm just not feeling it.
What is it you are wanting? We have cleanrom and a few other debated options and an available framework to let you customize the crazy outta your touchwiz. As far as AOSP or CM, give it time. It's a new device, a lot of hands are on it and after some time, more options will be available. When I bought my G2 on release day, it was a month before root and another before good rom options showed up and even longer before stable rom options we're brought to the table.

I don't understand why people buy a phone like this an expect a ton of development on it. Everyone knows AT&T locks bootloaders so there will be no AOSP ROMS for this device, especially with it packing an exynos processor. The root exploit has been patched in 5.1.1 so don't expect root unless you plan on tripping KNOX or never upgrading again. People really need to do research before they go out and buy a phone. If you need that much development, buy a nexus.

Exactly. I knew this going into getting another ATT phone (Active). It was either getting a phone I knew would work out of the box or getting a toaster oven with an 810 SOC. HTC and LG both failed this year IMHO and OPO2 will also be throttling back the 810 2.1 SOC. I wanted the active because of the bigger battery, but if those wanted ROMs on a S6 they should have just bought an international model outright.
I bought this phone expecting no development. The fact there's even root and roms for it is more than enough for me.

I went from a Nexus 5 (chronic flasher) to a no root Note 4 (now obviously s6) and I discovered that not having root or a million roms to flash caused almost zero issues. Having root and debloated roms on the s6 makes me completely happy. I just flashed XtraStoLite and it's awesome, even more customization and you choose only Samsung apps you want.
I haven't even rooted yet. Works fine for me. First phone I didn't root right away.

Probably the built in themer.
For everyone: when you buy a phone with a locked bootloader, you buy a phone that will have very limited development support (if a hack is found all the better, but don't count on one being found, they ain't easy to find). If you buy a Lamborghini are you going to complain you can't put the turbo you saw on your friends Mazda on it?

Alliance Framework and soon 3minit. You just need to flash a deodex ROM and to top it off, we are now seeing that you can flash roms from the international thread. I will attempt this myself 4th of July weekend and post videos on my channel if successful.
Honestly I think it's quickly getting to the point where rooting will be an afterthought. I rooted my S6 Edge and flashed back to stock within a week.

It's not hard, most are just an Aroma installer. I'm running one and it works great. The only weird thing was the Aroma installer screen flashes while you're selecting options you want to add/remove. I have an ATT S6 as well.

So I can Flash the deodexed ROM linked earlier with Flashfire then add the alliance framework with flashfire too? Still Kinda new to this(Had the s4 rooted and never flashed anything till after getting the s5 which was rooted with a custom ROM) and it seems like its a different method every phone.

I'm not asking for cm or aosp (neither appeal to me), and neither do i want some shoddy kludged together community rom.
What I'd like is to see something like Xposed,,which works without issue on a completely stock+root install.
I've been doing this since the G1 days, and i just dont have the time or patience for it anymore. I have a hobby that to me, is far more satisfying and fun than jacking around with phones.
All i really want is to remove the volume warning and the redundant wifi notification.

Xposed is in alpha or pre alpha for TW devices. So it is in the works, just a ton of bugs and the install is pretty in depth at the moment.
Don't know about the volume warning, but the WiFi notification is easy if rooted. Get the CSC editor and search for WiFi. Blank this value and reboot.

I have up on roms (TW or AOSP/CM) based a long time ago due to glitches and bugs. The last thing I ever did with root was adaway but now many all developers and websites are getting content past adaway and ABP, so no point there even.
I had a problem with my Tab S not taking the lollipop update after rooting then un-rooting which kind of soured me it in general. I got it flashed back to stock at bestbuy and updated, but settings menu still shows status as Custom even though download mode shows Knox 0x0

[Q] About to order GEAR VR

So the VR HYPE got to me and out of curiosity i ordered a cardboard for my note 4 (n910F) to see whats it all about, Folded the thing together and downloaded some apps like Titans of space and vanguard.
I was amazed by it and want more and a better experience than the fuzzy lenses in the cardboard and small FOV.
So now i'm about to order a GEAR VR but read some problems with root/custom roms.
I myself am running a stock rom (odex) and the only modification i made was CF-auto root for the obvious debloating of the device.
I want to know if this is going to be a problem for the gear since i don't want the emotion kernel on my device since when i tested it (r16) it made my device unstable like dropping wifi and 3g connections and some other minor things.
I really want to jump into the world of VR but note 4 kernels are hard to come by
Selinuxmodechanger.apk no longer works so you have 2 choices. Odin the stock firmware or run custom kernel.

thanks a lot for your reply, i guess there is only 1 way to find out for me then.
Ordered the Gear VR last night so it should arrive today
I read that Kitkat has better performance for G-VR than lollipop so if it does not work with my modded stock rom i think ill have to go back to 4.4.4 again after using 5.0.1 for a while.
Does anyone have experience with KK or LP performance?
update: got my g-vr in today, worked flawless on 5.0.1 rooted with cf-auto root. just wanted to let u know.
