Gear 360 Manager App on Note 4?

[Bin4ry]

@Bin4ry

I'm attaching the logcat of crashing:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8I5Ow-gLRsWTDBNbG1WZkc0U3VwVmhSLW1OMzg3ZGg2MjJV/view?usp=sharing

Note: I'm on Android 6.0, from JDCTeam.

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback,
the crash is due to your customrom. There is a function which checks for a propietary value looking like this:

    boolean bool = false;
    if (Build.MANUFACTURER.toLowerCase().equals("samsung"))
    {
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 22) {
        bool = isMobileKeyBoardCoveredSamsung(paramContext);
      }
      return bool;
    }
    return isMobileKeyBoardCoveredNonSamsung(paramContext);

so your custom rom does not have this value, but still says in its build config that build.manufacurer is samsung, as a workaround you could edit your build.prop and change the value from samsung to JDCTeam-samsung or such thing, so it differs from stock samsung.

@ThaiM:
I will take a look at the streaming issue as soon as my camera gets here, i think it is much easier for me to get the correct logs then Because your log does not seem to be the full log, it always stops after a few lines. See the post of joseccnet how a full log looks

It is working! I did the change as you suggest:

1) from ro.build.manufacurer=samsung to ro.build.manufacurer=JDCTeam-samsung
2) Reboot the phone
3) Open " Gear 360 Manager App" and bingo!. It ask me to power on the "Samsung Gear 360". I will wait to arrive my camera as you and test.

I will write you soon. Thanks.

For me it is working in the same way after the update: Ask me to power on the "Samsung Gear 360" (Remember I'm waiting my device to arrive)

See you.

LiveView still doesn't seem to be working on the Note 4 with this updated version

 

[ThaiM]

Same for me with Gear360Manager-Mod-15062016.apk.

As for my logcats, it appears I need root to be able to get full logs.

Also, there's always a notification that tells me "Update Gear 360 Firmware - Software updates are available" but nothing happens when clicked.

@ThaiM:
Don't worry, my cam arrived!
According to the reddit group this message is "normal", even with a compatible phone, so i assume a generic bug. But good news, i have liveview working on my Sony Xperia Z5 Only the symbols seem to be too big, working on that, but here comes a preview for you. (Still big symbols, i have to resize them now)


EDIT:

EDIT: Forgot to mention, i hardcoded the device to GalaxyS7, this way the app enables the full 4k video edit for "smaller" phones it seems that the 4k function gets ripped and it reduced the video quality drastically.

I just created this account to thank you on the work.

I've tested your mod on note 4, 5.0.1 and noticed the following bugs:
- live preview works until i mess around with the camera settings. there after it keep crashing. If you reset your camera settings to default before you enter live preview it should work.
- I am unable to save photos from camera to phone, however I can save videos to phone.
- Sharing doesn't seem to be working either
- Stitching doesn't seem to be working either

Hope this helpful.
Please continue to great work. thanks!

Unfortunately Gear360Manager-15062016v2.apk Live View still crashes on my Note 4 (Marshmallow). I'll try to get an adb logcat for you shortly. Thanks!

Gear360Manager-15062016v2.apk broke the live preview but sharing was working

Gear360Manager-Mod-15062016.apk had live preview somewhat working

I updated the version again:

This version works now very good with my Xperia Z5 and also has now readable logos (quality of settings icons is not so good, but personally i don't care about that )

Known problems:
1.) If you have strange issues after updating the version please uninstall and then reinstall to start fresh!
2.) If livepreview does not work please check if the phone connects to the camera wifi while the "loading..." appears, i noticed that sometimes it does not, then you can manually connect to it and livepreview works!
3.) Problably more Have not tested transfer, stitching etc yet

Best Regards

i reverted back to Gear360Manager-Mod-15062016.apk, live preview works for me in that version.

unfortunately Gear360Manager-15062016v3.apk doesn't seem to work on my note 4.
I've check that camera wifi is connected (I could view the files in my camera)

Kind of almost there for me...

Gear360Manager-15062016v3.apk

It takes several attempts to open the app (complete clean install). Most of the time the app freezes on open. Sometimes it crashes on open. When it does open, and I go to Live View, I can see the Live View icons (but on black background) and then it crashes with the "Unfortunately, Samsung Gear 360 has stopped" message.

I'm still trying to figure out this ADB logcat thing...

The viewing of the files is done through bluetooth as far as i can say at the moment So please go into settings of your android and check if you are really connected to the WIFI, i think you are not Because livepreview is going through wifi

I see, i would really need to see the logcat of your device. You should not need root for that you only need a pc with adb working, then type

adb logcat > mylog.txt

and let it run some time. This should throw out a nice mylog.txt in your current folder.
Also try restarting your phone and please check if your phone connects to the cameras wifi in your android settings -> wifi! For me this was the "main" problem of black background and sometimes only a "loading...." screen.
