Support for the Oculus Quest 1

I'm happy to announce that Quest Game Tuner now supports every Meta/Oculus Quest model!

Non-quest devices (Oculus GO, Pico NEO) still cannot be supported.

Read this page in full before purchasing Quest Game Tuner for your Quest 1.

This page is the sole resource on which features are — or are not — available on the Quest 1.

Other pages mention features that are available only on newer headsets.

Your purchase of Quest Game Tuner can be activated on multiple headsets. If you plan to upgrade to a newer Quest at a later date, you won't need to buy it again.

Intro

Quest 1 support has been in the works for a while.

The Quest 1 is stuck on v50 of the Quest OS, which has some issues which limit Quest Game Tuner's functionality.

You can tune apps, toggle system settings, and adjust your brightness. Most key features work, but there are also a number of limitations.

On-device setup does not support Quest 1 - you must install using a Windows PC.

Supported Features on Quest 1

App Sorting, Searching, and Launching

All of Quest Game Tuner's organizational features work great as on the Quest 1 as any other device. 

You can launch any 2D app or game, view your tuning settings, sort your apps, and customize the app display and layout.

Game Tuning

You can tune all your VR apps and games with Quest Game Tuner.
For tuning settings to apply on Quest 1, you must launch games from Quest Game Tuner or Lightning Launcher.

• Render Resolution is fully supported, and most games can reach at least Quest 2 resolution.
• Fixed Foveation works, and dynamic fixed foveation can be used to gain some extra performance.
• CPU & GPU levels work great. You can overclock up to level 5 for a bit of extra performance in some games.

Auto-tuning works, but is limited to the special Quest 1 profile.

Brightness Adjustment

The Quest 1 doesn't normally let you change brightness!

Quest Game Tuner fixes this, letting you adjust brightness to 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% using Quest 1 - exclusive buttons in the System Tweaks options.
You can also set the brightness all the way down to zero with Extra Dim for a drastically darker picture.

System Tweaks

Everything in the System Tweaks section works. That includes:

• Easy toggles for Guardian Boundaries, OVR Metrics Tool, AdBlock, and more.
• Screen crop settings to crop your field of view and gain a bit of performance.

Video Recording

All video recording settings work. That includes:

• Custom aspect ratio and recording resolution
  
• Custom video framerate and bitrate
• Stabilization options, including extras exclusive to Quest Game Tuner
• Eye selection and Stereo-3D recording

Shizuku & ADB Shell

You can install and set up Shizuku and AShellYou to enable various Android poweruser applications, and to give you a modern ADB shell interface on your device. (This process is the same as on newer headsets)

Auto-Open at Startup

You can auto-open Quest Game Tuner or Lightning Launcher at startup.
On Quest 1, enabling both will cause only the Lightning Launcher window to be shown.

Unsupported Features on Quest 1

On-Device Setup

Due to OS limitation, on-device setup does not work on the Quest 1.

You must complete the setup process using the Windows installer!
Please refer to the Full Installation Guide for the details of this installation method.

Background Service

The Quest Game Tuner background service is currently not supported on Quest 1.

That means you'll have to click a button to allow wireless debugging when opening Quest Game Tuner, and that apps will only be tuned if opened from Quest Game Tuner or Lightning Launcher.

This also disables Home Environment tuning, as well as the "Automatically power off after" and "Disable Network while Sleeping" settings.

Adaptive Overclocking

Adaptive overclocking requires the background service, which is currently not supported on Quest 1. 

FPS Tuning

Target FPS cannot be set, as the Quest 1's display is fixed at 72Hz. Adaptive Refresh is similarly unavailable.

Auto-Tuning Profiles

Auto-Tuning works, but only a single Auto-Tuning profile is available on Quest 1. (You can still set individual apps to the default profile or not be tuned.

Other Considerations

The Quest 1's OS restricts notifications when in game, so tuning notifications can't be used.

Since the Quest 1 doesn't let you open 2D apps while in-game, you'll need to close the running game to use Quest Game Tuner.

Setting up the OVR Metrics Tool

The OVR Metrics Tool is an invaluable companion for Quest Game Tuner, letting you monitor system status and performance while in-game.

The Meta Store doesn't let you install the OVR Metrics Tool on-device on the Quest 1.
(Don't worry, it will still work fine!)

Instead, either:
- Download it from this official page, extract the zip and install it using ADB.
- Download and install it from this unofficial SideQuest listing. (Easier)
Then, reboot to ensure the OVR metrics tool works correctly.
