has anybody tried to force daydream vr support on his rooted essential phone?

it's described here at xda (not essential specific).

how are your experiences?

i think about using the systemless magisk-based method and buying a daydream view.

I bought a daydream view when it was on sale for 29.99. i then used the daydream enabler magisk module found in the repo. Installed all the daydream required apps and everything works great. I'm using rooted stock oreo by the way.

that sounds great. i will check which are the differences between the module in the repo and the tutorial i've linked.

in germany the daydream view costs 50 euro (atm on sale) which is about 60 usd. i wonder if i should wait what google shows in october.

I've tried the module and it seems to work fine, but when it's activated my GCam crashes (running it with the magisk module by aer0zer0). Anyone having any ideas?

the same thing happened to me it all depends on the version of G cam you're using I had to switch to a different one so that I could keep both a custom G Cam and daydream support
