Glass on ANY ANDROID DEVICE! [4.1+ Recommended]

[ak700]

Yo Guys.

This is a tutorial through which YOU can have the Glass UI on ANY ANDROID DEVICE. This is the proper UI that you would find on Glass. Basically we are going to download and install some MODIFIED Glass so that we could use it on an Android phone. I haven't modified the apps. I am just telling you how to use them.

Now first of all the things you need -

• Android device which run 4.0 or higher. However 4.1 higher is recommended as that has the updated voice controls.
• A Bluetooth keyboard. This would be used to navigate. The touchscreen doesn't work in the UI.

So let's do this -

1 - Get the Stuff.

Go to https://github.com/zhuowei/Xenologer as click on "ZIP" which is besides "CLONE TO WINDOWS". This would give you the modded apps. You can read the dev's readme to see what he has modified. Then go to http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...em-dumps-please-do-something-cool-with-these/ and download the system dump. From here, using WinRAR/7ZIP got to the system/app and extract all the files which have the suffix "Glass" to them. Refer the diagram below.

2 - Installing.


Copy all the apps that we downloaded and put them on your phone. Then install the apps. The first app that you would install SHOULD BE GLASS-HOME!!!! For the rest, the order doesn't matter.

3 - Finale.

After installing all apps, hit home and choose - Glass-settings and choose "just once". If you choose "always" then you would be screwed. Now you using the keyboard control the glass ui. -

ARROW KEY = SWIPE RIGHT/LEFT
ENTER = TAP
ESC = GO HOME.

If at any time you want to turn back, simply press the home button, choose your launcher and you are done. For more info watch the dev's video :

Thanks for posting this tutorial, however I would remove that file list from Ron's dump as most of that stuff will break it.

DO NOT INSTALL frameworkstubs.apk glasshome.apk glasssetup.apk glasscamera.apk or glasssystemui.apk everything else is fine to bring over from the dump file but those listed ones must not be installed from the dump.

I recommend watching my video so you do it correctly, and if you want to help or have some ideas as to why things are not working let me know.

This is extremely cool. Installed it on my Nexus 4. It keeps telling me there is something wrong with my network connection. Will try to test all of the functions soon . Talking to it works fine!

I forgot to add my wifi network and of course can't capture the QR, so I can't search Google, yet the timeline updates go through :silly:. But it works great on my phone anyway.

No facial recognition on glass - Could have been a great feature

I wrote a little app which acts like an invisible keyboard that allows to navigate through glass using the volume buttons and simulate the enter key using the menu button or a long press on back, instead of having to use an external keyboard.

The app is open source, you can grab the code on my github : http://github.com/Androguide/GLASSInput
The apk's direct link : https://github.com/Androguide/GLASSInput/blob/master/GlassInput.apk?raw=true

Confirmed NOT WORKING I'm running android 4.2.2, HTC one v. I enabled glass input but the volume buttons still controlled the volume not swiping.
