Vysor - Launching Apps on the Focus Dev Kit

[JustinVive]

 To launch apps on the device you will need a Chrome extension called Vysor. Vysor allows you to see the device’s view from your computer screen while plugged in by USB. You can then control the device with your mouse. Once the app is launched then you can safely disconnect the USB. 

 

 In order to install/uninstall apps onto the device, we recommend using Android Debug Bridge or another command line tool of your choice.

 

 If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with one of the admins.

 We look forward to hearing what you think about the Focus and to checking out the experiences you create!

Dear Justin

We just received our set a few days ago.

Can you clarify when a new ROM with internal control over the system is expected?

 

Thanks for a great product!

Hi,

I still do not see the device in Vysor.

When I connect the device to the USB, Device manager shows MSM8998 for arm64

Vysor alarm reports " No device found. Make sure....."

 

 

I installed everything according to documentation, I do not know where I made a mistake.

I see screen " Make yourself at home....., to see all your apps...."  in the headset.

Is USB Debuging enabled on the device?

How to set it without access to the display?

Can anyone help, Thanks

Michal

 Are you using a Windows PC? If so, you may need to install some drivers to run ADB and Vysor. I can see a link for them at the bottom of your screenshot. Install those drivers and if that doesn't work, then reach out to me again for help.

I use Windows 8.1, I installed the ADB Driver from Vysor link, before post.

[JustinVive]

Can you connect with the device via ADB?

 

 e.g using the following command in your command line?

 

   adb devices

adb devices command shows nothing

"List of devices attached"

Do you have Android Studio installed? I found this helped when i had adb issues a while back with another HMD. 

 

I would also install Android NDK if you dont have that installed.

 

adb should then be present in the platform-tools folder inside your Android instillation folder.

Yes i have it installed /Studio,NDK,SDK,JDK...../ still nothing.

Now I've connected the device to another computer /Win 10/  without Studio NDK,SDK,JDK and it works :)

 

I tried the demo, two gray circles are displayed and music is played, sometimes menus appear on the screen when controler button is pressed.

In our developeing experience, it's more related to USB driver compatibility with Windows OS than Android SDK/NDK/JDK etc.

Firstly after you plug in Focus into PC, you can check from Device Manager to confirm if it can be recognized as "Android USB Devices". 

If not, this indicates there is no corresponding USB driver and you can search from Google to find proper one for your PC.
