[Solved] [Magisk Module] [Oreo Update] Spoofing "Daydream ready device" on a Nexus 6P

[dalstam]

Having problems here. Installed the module, rebooted but still playstore detects nexus 6p as not daydream ready. Furthermore, this also happens when launching the sideloaded daydream app.
Weird thing is, this still fools any other apps checking for your phone model (ex rootchecker detects as pixelXL)

Got a Nexus 6p magisk rooted (v14) on stock android oreo 8.0.0

Anyone with the same problem?

Same problem here. OP5T with oreo update. Nougat worked like a charm. I think it is oreo related issue

if you want i have created an updated module for oreo that works for me on the oneplus3.
You just have to deactivate it in the daydream developer options "motion latency" to remove the black bar

thx. featured and credited in OP so ppl find it better.
there is no recovery yet for my new phone so no magisk. once i have that again i try to get daydream running. kirin 659 should have enough power.

TL;DR Skip to the last paragraph!

Daydream runs pretty nice on my n6p. sucks to sideload all apps also not all apps can be found on google. so i wanted play store to recognize my device as "daydream ready" and let me download all daydream apps. a little googleing later i found 2 reddits explaining what to do and saying "it works" in the comments.

https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/co...got_daydream_working_on_a_oneplus33t/dbmy2it/ creating 2 new files in /system/etc/permissions/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5hno6u/got_daydream_to_work_on_my_5x_might_work_on_other/ put the 2 feature tags in handheld_core_hardware.xml

none of those worked. i could start sideloaded daydream apps before this. updating/downloading from play store is my issue.

things i didnt try yet:
- a clean flash of the rom then change the permission files in twrp adb then reboot.
- putting the feature tags in 2 seperate files AND in handheld_core_hardware.xml
- https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../etc/android.hardware.vr.high_performance.xml has the <feature name="android.software.vr.mode" /> and the high performance mode tag in it. didnt try that 2 tags in one file way yet.

anybody got this to work yet? if so pls share



EDIT: i made a magisk v10 module changing the build.prop. if anyone wants to do it this way feel free to dl the attached module.zip. just downloaded some previously "incompatible" apps. idk what happens if u install it on a device that is not daydream-compatible. n6p is the dev device so it is compat but not daydream-ready. as every dev i take no responsibility for anything. u flash this at ur own risk. that it requires magisk to be installed and working is self-explainatory. just ignore the "wrong vendor.img" warning that pops up on booting.

UPDATE: magisk module disabling bug fixed since some versions ago.

V1.1 : quick and dirty commented out out manufacuturer line and zipped it again. still v10/11 magisk template but it works. just tested. template didnt change much anyway to v12 i think.

What line does this file add? Gonna try it on my 5T

I added the two lines to the hardware file thingy in system/etc/permissions/ and I added the module DaydreamBypass for oreo. I'm using a Mi A1 phone and everytime I click on the Daydream Launcher button inside the app it closes the app. Same thing happens when I open other Daydream supported VRApps. Any fix for this?

Support on Pie?

Will this be made to work on unsupported Android Pie devices, such as the Essential PH-1 or the OnePlus 6?
I know of the old manual solution, but it doesn't work. Neither does your method
