Bluetooth controller not recognized with VRG Pro, SteamVR and PhoneVR (Android)
I recently purchased a VRG Pro and a Bluetooth controller to use with my Android device as a VR headset. I am having difficulty using the controller within VR using PhoneVR + SteamVR.

Is there any free good way to connect my phone to steam vr without it turning black and white after 5 minutes or just stopping?

Use daydream view without controller
Sort of lol. Riftcat only allows you to use it for 10 minutes at a time, unless you pay $15 one time to unlock unlimited time (which I might do.) It connects to SteamVR which is insane and does WAYYYY more than I wanted it to do! This has cause me to do a ton of tinkering, set up my xbox controller with SteamVR, and now I am looking at an open source version of Riftcat called PhoneVR. I just installed PhoneVR and have had a chance to get that working yet. I will make another comment if I get that working. If not, I will probably pay the $15 for Riftcat.

Possible stupid question but could also change what I bring to parties
Otherwise, there are some tricks out there that allow you to run games through SteamOS via ALVR: https://github.com/JackD83/ALVR . I haven't gone through with this approach but I've heard success stories. Getting this to plug n play out of the box isn't really going to happen. So depends on how badly you'd like this to work. Realistically, better to stick to the Quest 2 standalone.

STOP ASKING FOR LINKS!
if you're here looking for a cracked version of Virtual Desktop, there isn't one. VD is uncrackable as far as I know. If you want a PCVR streamer for Quest, here is a free alternative.
