How to get Daydream working on any Android 7.1 / CM 14.1 device perfectly

Daydream, Google's virtual reality platform is currently compatible only with the Pixel, Pixel XL, Moto Z, Moto Z-Droid and Moto Z Force Droid. The feature, which was included in the Android 7.1 Nougat OS update, allows users to play VR games, watch movies in a VR cinema and watch 360-degree videos using a compatible VR headset.

Google hasn't ported the feature to more devices, users of a large number of Android devices will not be able to access Daydream VR content.

But for owners of devices such as the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, OnePlus 3 and any CyanogenMod 14.1 supporting device who still want to try out Google's VR offerings, there is a workaround to this restriction. You can run the Daydream app on the mentioned devices by rooting the devices.

Users should proceed at their own risk.

You will need a rooted device running Android 7.1 with Google VR services and the Daydream app installed, a Daydream compatible VR headset.

Once you have the devices, you will need to use a root explorer app and navigate to /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml. It will show you the system features of your devices.

Inside the XML file, you will find a list of permissions.

You will need to edit the script and insert the code in the picture below into the root permissions tag.

Reboot the device. You should be able to launch Daydream VR from the app.


Once you go through this process, you will able to run Daydream apps that were previously incompatible with your device. The fix could also work on older phones. We would recommend using the Daydream app with higher specification VR headsets compared to low specification ones such as the Google Cardboard as Daydream VR videos are graphics heavy — the VR videos might lag if played on a low-end device. 

Android O name, release date, rumors?

Android 7.1.1 just released this month as the Nougat Maintainance Release. Android 7.0 was released back in August 2016, and we're looking at a similar time frame in 2017 for the release of Android O. But what will Android O be called? Also see: Nexus 6 still in the Google's Major Updates list

Android O?

Google has always named its Android OS updates after sweet treats, and in alphabetical order. So far we've had Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow and Nougat.

In 2017 Google will be looking for a sweet treat beginning with O. Trouble is, there really aren't that many. It could come up with Oreo, Oatcake, and Oh Henry! candy bar.

Android O surely will be Android 8.0. But Google hasn’t always done things this way, and Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and KitKat were all 4.x updates.

Release date?

Google surprised us in 2016 by taking the wraps off the Developer Preview of Android Nougat in advance of its summer Google I/O conference, and again by unveiling the final release with little fanfare and no new hardware in August. The new hardware came later, with the Google Pixel and Pixel XL unveiled in early October.

Up until now, Google has always announced the new Android OS and new hardware together. The change is most likely due to the fact it is now taking control over both the software and hardware in its own-brand devices in Apple-fashion, and the Google Pixel and Pixel XL were the first phones 'Made by Google' (even though they were made by HTC).

By this trend, the possible release of Android O can be expected in August/September 2017.

Supported Devices?

Google phones and tablets are always the first to get new operating system updates, but even Google won't support them forever. Security updates are provided for three years following the device's release or 18 months after it is removed from the Google Play Store (whichever is longer).

Pixel devices will be the first to get Android O, the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P will be supported by Google until September 2017, which means they will get both Android Nougat and next year's Android O. The Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 will both be supported until October 2016, which should mean they get an update to Android Nougat but surely not Android O. Older Nexus devices will not be upgraded.

Those with supported Nexus devices should find the update rolls out to their device following the launch of the new Nexus phones for 2016, or at least within a few weeks of launch.
If you have a recent flagship phone or tablet from a well-known maker such as Sony, Samsung, HTC, LG or Motorola, it's likely you'll see the update rolled out within the first few months of 2018. However, before you can get the update both the hardware manufacturer and mobile operator must be ready to roll it out, which can slow down things.

In its promotion of the Motorola Moto G4 Plus. Motorola has already said it will receive Android Nougat and Android O.

version of Android be called?

Nexus 6, Still Supported for Major Updates by Google

Google officially released the Android Nougat 7.1.1 update for Pixel, XL, C, Nexus 6P, 5X, 9, Player yesterday. But there is still no sign of the Nexus 6's 7.1.1 OTA on the official website.

Google's own words say "When we launched Android Nougat, we were excited to deliver even more ways to make Android your own. Today we’re rolling out Android 7.1.1, an update to Nougat that showcases more ways to express yourself, along with a handful of other sweet features and improvements to stability and performance. Android 7.1.1 brings many of the cool features of Pixel to everyone."

"Today, and over the next several weeks, the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus Player, Pixel C and General Mobile 4G (Android One) will get an over the air (OTA) software update to Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Any devices enrolled in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version"

Every Google device, when launched is given a scheduled update support period i.e. 2 years major OS updates and 3 years security updates.

The lucky Nexus 6, even after being more than 2 years old is officially supported for the major updates by Google. Android 7.1.1 will soon be released for it. 

The Nexus 6 still has a powerful hardware in today's standards to sustain in this Android environment

. This is a very good move by Google, just like Apple, to support older devices. 

Here is a nice video by Tim about Android 7.1.1 on the Nexus 6P and comparison with the Pixel

What are your thoughts on the Nexus 6?
