Hi!

First thread here on XDA.

Got Daydream VR fully running on my OnePlus 3, on stock Community Build Beta 9 (Android 7.0), by adding two simple lines to a permissions system file.
Video proof here:

My device now shows as being Daydream compatible on the Google Play Store, and I'm able do download and update Daydream apps without any issues.

More information and step by step guide on how to enable Daydream on your device can be found here:

Sooo...what exactly are the bugs with OP3 and Daydream VR? Any downsides at all. I don't have a Daydream VR but am interested.

Nevermind: Just went to related OnePlus forum thread....and read up on the many comments there. Thanks.

Hey there guys does anyone get the issue of some apps opening up in 2d mode making it impossible to navigate while in VR mode and with the daydream headset actually on? apps like YouTube, street view, google movies, play store seem to work fine but many other apps launch in 2d mode instead of 3d side by side mode. Any ideas??

Same issue. Do you have a daydream view headset or a cardboard? I have a cardboard and using an emulator for the controller.

Exact same issue. Tried with the preferences edits and tried all possible sailfish pixel marlin combos in the build.prop with same results.

Tried to gain some traction on the oneplus forums from the same OP (thanks btw) but never heard back confirming it works fully, which is a shame as the apps that work work great.

I use the daydream headset.

Yes, same here...
YouTube VR works fine but Art&Culture VR does not...
I don't know what's the difference...

Using the Daydream headset and remote on a 3T and I get the same issue. It also happens with PolyRunner VR and Horizons. Maybe these apps are hardcoded to launch in 3D with a Pixel?

Need for Speed VR works though.

So OP replied in the OnePlus forums, I swear I tried it before with no results but prolly.didnsomething wrong as all it needs to sort is spoofing the device's model.

Adding the below in the build.prop file and restarting does the trick Daydream and all apps fully functional SBS/3D apps previously stuck in landscape:
