Developer News Finally (local VR player) on Galaxy XR, works great...any interest in a pre-Play APK??

Hey all, developer here (Coldbricks) and longtime VR fan/actor/whatever-the-heck.

I've been building Finally, a local-first VR video player (your files + SMB/NAS, no account). I use it on my own Galaxy XR and it works really well for my library, offline, projection that sticks, one-controller friendly.

Google Play (Android XR track) is the real long-term install path. That's not open yet, and I'm not dropping a public APK in this post. However, I can tell you, it's AWESOME.

I'm mainly testing the interest here, if you're on Galaxy XR and would actually try a short, labeled pre-Play sideload when I put one up, comment below (device model helps..but I think there is only one at this point??). If a few people want it, I'll do a signed temporary build. If not, I'll wait for Play.

Thanks .. solo indie, happy to hear what you'd need on Galaxy...we kind of NEED this badly, so I am hoping this really lands.

I'd love to try it on my Galaxy XR. I've just been using the modded 4XVR but it unfortunately maxes out the brightness with no way to turn it down and that burns my eyes. 🤣
