[GUIDE] Sideloading Android Apps To Quest2
In order to multitask Android Apps they need to run as 2D apps in Oculus Home, not in the TV App, and make sure you have multitasking enabled in Experimental Features. Personally all my apps open as 2D apps but some people have the opposite. To force an app to open as a 2D app you'll need to use an App Launcher.

2D transparent Android apps
Yes!!! This is great, please keep developing it. I'd been using Quest App Launcher but this works better for my needs. I just wanted a single interface to access all APKs/Games instead of the limited interface Oculus provides.

Annoying 99.9% of the time
The best workaround I've heard is to use the homebrew Quest App Launcher and optionally use KeyMapper to map it to one of the Volume keys. I have it appear when I hold Vol+ for 1.5 seconds and use that for all my app launching.

V41 Horizon Homes?????
I could trigger the tutorial with vrLauncher https://github.com/basti564/vrLauncher and after that I had the option. I think the activity I launched was “CO_PRESENCE_NUX”

Is it true you cannot change resolution with sidequest anymore?
There are many ways to open the settings app and bypass the ADB shell restrictions if you know how. One simple way is to just sideload VRLauncher found here. https://github.com/basti564/vrLauncher

Made it to the Oculus firmware debug menu

Anyone have major issues with the limited IPD choices?
I found an ipd test pattern & config window with vrLoader which confirmed my feeling.

The Logitech K830 (i.e. the only keyboard that is visible in VR) is no longer out of stock AND it's $40 off at Logitech's website right now ($100==>$60)
Side load the latest apk from https://github.com/basti564/vrLauncher and use the drop down to launch Passthrough Portal if you want to try it out. Either way, this is clearly something that will be polished up by Oculus and officially released whenever they make a push for Infinite Office and definitely feels like a better solution for getting a keyboard into VR than what you currently get with a seven year old Logitech keyboard.
