Google Daydream controller (hardware) on Nexus 6p

I feel insulted!

Just got Google's Daydream headset, connected controller to my Nexus 6p, ran my own game and NOTHING!

I used another phone to emulate the controller. Now I have actual controller, but it doesn't work because google doesn't support my phone.

I can't download the Daydream app which seems to be the only source to manage the controller. I'm looking for solution how to hack around. Suggestions please?

Solution

  • There are couple solutions:

    1. change your phone internal settings to be recognised as Pixel phone, so play.store will allow you to download daydream app (requires root)
    2. install custom Pixel rom (messy)
    3. download daydream.apk file from the mirror source -- works like a charm! I used apkmirror.com
