我们可以在不受支持的 Android 设备上运行 Google ARCore 吗？

Question

We have customized ROM for Android P and running on one of our QCom board. We're trying to run the ARCore in our test android app just to make sure that our devices will have support for the Google ARCore.

Now in order to make it work, I've followed the steps mentioned here:

Download & Installed the Google Play Services for ARCore.apk from https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/java/emulator#update-arcore

Download & Installed the ARCore test app from https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/tree/master/samples/hello_ar_java/app/src/main/java/com/google/ar/core/examples/java/common/rendering

Now when I tried to run the app I am getting this exception:

I believe it is because of my device is not in the list of ARCore supported devices: https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices

My question is, is there a way I can run ARCore in my device? I have also downloaded the ARCore SDK source code, is there a way I can update that source code and run AR Core app on my device?

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

If your Android smartphone is not on the list of supported ARCore devices, try to use PTC Vuforia 9.0 for Unity. There are some chances that your phone may build ARCore projects via Vuforia.

Also, you can try to install ARCore-for-All with ARCore-Patch to get around ARCore installation's restrictions but I'm not sure if it'll helps you to cheat Google. And please take into consideration that installation of these libs may break / compromise security of your Android OS.
