#APPSTARTER SIDEQUEST OCULUS GO HOW TO#

So how to start the app or game you just installed? If you were really impatient then you already tried sideloading with ADB and although using Wifi is easy for this - it could be easier.Īnd of course you noticed that actually nothing is showing up anywhere. This of course goes for the required ADB drivers as well, which you can download from the developer sites. The port 5555 should be addressed automatically by ADB in this case.įrom then on all you do with ADB will go over the WiFi and not over the USB cable anymore.Īnd as said: Plenty of info on the Oculus websites and XDA to get you covered for all ADB needs. Just type ADB connect - where the xxx stands for the IP address of the GO. Once you have your GO connected to the computer and ready for a ADB connection you can also switch it all to TCP mode, meaning you can do it all wireless! In the XDA developers forum you will also find quite detailed guides on how to use ADB and what to do with it. If you need more detailed info just read a bit in the developer section on the Oculus servers - they have plenty of useful info there to get you started! You will be prompted to allow unknown sources for your installation, please do as otherwise it won't work.

If you ever properly used it on your mobile or tablet before then you will be familiar with the required procedures.Ĭonnect the GO with the USB cable to the computer.Įnable the developer options and allow USB debugging in the settings.Ĭonfirm that you authorise your computer on the GO - tick the box too to make it permanent.ĪDB devices should then show you what is connected and your GO should be listed.ĪDB install Filename.apk will install any compatible game or app. If you already looked into sideloading apps then you know that you will need a developer account to enable the developer options for the GO on the paired mobile phone.Īfter this we are left with more than just ADB: With a lot of Android apps and games working at least in 2D mode on the cinema screen it would be nice to have some easy ways of installing them.

There are some things our GO can not (yet) do as good as we would like.
