Now that we can get honeycomb on our gtablets, I was wondering what apps are working with it.
Apps I've used so far:
Evac HD (but score and lives are cut off)
Google Earth (a lot less of a pain to get on)
Gameboid (buttons are small and fuzzy for some reason)
Sketchbook mobile
Firefox
X construction
N64oid
Root explorer
Google music player + music beta
Angry Birds
Whats NOT Working
anything flash or camera related
Hello!
I just got a xoom yesterday and wanted to know if you could play old dos games on it. I found an app called adosbox and it runned great. But when i play the game Hocus Pocus (and any other) it force closes after a while. Does anyone have the right settings for ram use and so?
Hi. So when I try to record my phone screen everything works fine, it records the screen. But only when clash of clans is opened the recordong immediately stops. I go to my gallery and the video can't be played even the stuff before clash of clans is opened. Please help its super annoying and I would like to record gameplay. It only happens on this one app. I've tried various screen recording apps but none work,and I don't want to use ADB because I want to do it straight from my phone

have you try to record any other game?
Games are memory heavy, wen open a game, or the game it self closes other app to free memory or, android will closed any app in the back ground.
That is what is happen, how not to solve maybe not possible because the device is hardware limited but , search about it. :good:

I got movies purchased from Google play, can I view them through the gear vr? Is the YouTube app available also on the gear vr?
Lol im pretty sure people owning the VR have seen this thread, funny no one has dared to answer a simple question. Weak community.
no
the cinema app can play local mp4 files though.
Well at least you took the time to reply, I appreciate it. I have heard that mp4s can be played but the thing is that all my movies are purchased from the Google play store and the format is very weird
No youtube app for gear vr but there is youtube in google carboard app. you can also use little walk around. Use tubemate to download any youtube video straight to phone and play it using oculus cinema app in gear vr.

Sadly it appears Oculus/Samsung appear to be gating any app that can do web browsing / stream since they want to control the content (to some extent). Most consumers will not transfer movies for playback and will simply use the streaming function of the Oculus apps. Again I hope I am wrong, but their IMO lame excuse for no web browser (it would require full Oculus integration) as example is false. Homido has a very good web browser that streams content from any web source and works great with the iPhone- ironic. Homido did say they were working on an Android Cardboard version, but can not for Oculus.
The stock 2D web browser using voice and the touch pad for mouse function would allow any streaming content from the web a consumer wants. This is something that Oculus appears to not want, but ironically works great on the iPhone. for streaming. Fulldive has a Cardboard browser, but the streaming is audio with a black screen.
The latest version from YouTube app support cardboard (v10.21), u may not have it yet but you can download it from apkmirror

It is not integrated though, so have to remove the phone, pick a vid, place phone back in VR unit and place the set back on. That seems a pain in a$$ to me. Not so bad for a 90 minute movie if having to, but
a true pain for short vids like Youtube. The app only works with 360 vids and not 2D.
Cmoar Cinema Pro has Youtube, but no account access.
Idk for the lack of ability for me to play the Google play movies I won't buy this product. Saw alot of potential but didn't really got my attention. I bought me a 60 inch led Sony TV instead with roku loaded ?
also been wanting one. i heard in a thread that there was this widget that allowed you to play cardboard apps on the phone with gear VR.
we need to break this format. this is rediculous. we should be able to watch any of our content on this device with NO problem. I dont understand why this device does not perfrom as advertised. Someone smart needs to hack this **** and let us all download it.
There is a way to run Youtube app on Gear VR
You need install a tool on Google Play, it named "Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR" (of [KunKunSoft]), run this tool and switch to "Cardboard mode"
After that, Install "Cardboard" (of [Google Inc]) app on Google Play, run "Cardboard" app and you will see "360 Video Chanel" app, it is "Youtube VR", run it and enjoy!
Hope this can help!
if u want to stream movies in vr just use HD movies app download it for free and move it to sd card and hit the vr video
or use the samsung gallery on vr if ur lazy to transfer to sd card downloaded videos
Samsung Internet is your best bet.. Works great for me.. https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2015/12/02/Samsung-Launches-Optimized-Web-Browser-for-Gear-VR
NOMone VR Browser
I don't know about movies downloaded from Google Play, but in NOMone VR Browser you can watch youtube without any problems (not 360 degree, though). You can use it with a keyboard and a mouse or using earphones. To have the best experience:
- Check "Request desktop site".
- Goto the youtube video you want to watch.
- From the options at the bottom-right corner of the viewer, choose "Theater mode". Now press fullscreen.
I'm one of the developers of this app by the way. The application still has a long way to go, but we intend to achieve a 100% integrated solution by version 1.0 if Allah wills. If you have any comments of feature requests, don't hesitate to reach out for us. But we don't check xda very frequently. On the other hand, we are very active on our facebook page (nomonesoftware).
does anyone has the same problem, or findout any solution yet ?
the problem is, crosshair flick like as$#@#..... and random jagging very hard to play with. but that trouble gone when i recoding , so i have to use other phone to do that. sr for low quality...
temporaly fix: dont add the game into game mode, and everything will fine. but i need to launch the game with game mode to turn on alot of stuffs
update: launch game without game genie does NOT help the aim steady, just reduce some jagging
running on CN 16.0631.1908
