Quest Games Optimizer
Installation & Update
You have two main ways to install QGO :
1) With ONLY your Meta Quest (meaning you don't need any computer or Smartphone nor USB cable)
/!\ On PTC v72 when installing the apk, please use your hands to manipulate the File Manager app. You can't navigate anymore with your controllers
Inside your Meta Quest, go to Itch.io and download the QuestGamesOptimizer .apk file to your download folder, then use Mobile VR Station from Meta Quest store or any other file manager application.
When you Pair device with pairing code, you must have both the Settings window and the QGO window openned side by side. If pairing does not work, please restart your headset and try again.
If you're not getting the USB Debugging prompt and ADB is still red, you can use "Revoke USB debugging authorizations", then re-pair to force a re-prompt
2) Or by using the old method with a computer, and USB cable and SideQuest (Advanced Installer : https://sidequestvr.com/setup-howto)
REMEMBER that QGO is able to enable ADB by itself on each device restart, meaning you don't need to redo the installation steps if you followed them correctly.
REMEMBER that this is normal if that on each device restart, when you first start QGO, Android system ask you to for ADB Wireless debugging permission. This is how Android system work. You just have to click the "Always Allow" button ONCE PER HEADSET RESTART.
It is strongly recommended to follow STEP by STEP and CLICK by CLICK what you see in the video.
If ADB icon is still red after each restart, you must uninstall QGO, then reboot the device then follow the tutorial again.

Vous avez deux principales façons d'installer QGO :
1) Avec SEULEMENT votre Meta Quest (ce qui signifie que vous n'avez besoin ni d'ordinateur, ni de Smartphone, ni de câble USB)
/!\ En PTC v72 lors de l'installation de l'apk, veuillez utiliser vos mains pour manipuler l'application File Manager. Vous ne pouvez plus naviguer avec vos manettes.
Dans votre Meta Quest, allez sur Itch.io et téléchargez le fichier questgamesoptimizer.apk dans votre dossier de téléchargement, puis utilisez Mobile VR Station depuis le store Meta Quest ou toute autre application de gestion de fichiers.
Lorsque vous appairez l'appareil avec le code d'appairage, vous devez avoir la fenêtre Paramètres et la fenêtre QGO ouvertes côte à côte. Si l'appairage ne fonctionne pas, veuillez redémarrer votre casque puis réessayer.
Si vous n'obtenez pas l'invite de débogage USB et que l'ADB est toujours rouge, vous pouvez utiliser « Révoquer les autorisations de débogage USB », puis ré-appairer pour forcer une nouvelle invite.
2) Ou en utilisant l'ancienne méthode avec un ordinateur, un câble USB et SideQuest (Advanced Installer :https://sidequestvr.com/setup-howto)
POUR RAPPEL, QGO est capable d'activer ADB tout seul à chaque redémarrage de l'appareil, ce qui signifie que vous n'avez pas besoin de refaire les étapes d'installation si vous les avez suivies correctement.
N'OUBLIEZ PAS qu'il est normal qu'à chaque redémarrage de l'appareil, lorsque vous démarrez QGO pour la première fois, le système Android vous demande l'autorisation de déboguer sans fil ADB. C'est ainsi que fonctionne le système Android. Il vous suffit de cliquer sur le bouton "Toujours autoriser" UNE FOIS PAR REDÉMARRAGE DU CASQUE.
Il est fortement recommandé de suivre PAS par PAS et CLIC par CLIC ce que vous voyez dans la vidéo.
Si l'icône ADB est toujours rouge après chaque redémarrage, vous devez désinstaller QGO, redémarrer l'appareil et suivre à nouveau le tutoriel.

hi i have the same problem. not recognized when try to launch the app. help please
Hi, what problem are you referring about ?
When I already have the application installed in Meta Quest 3, it asks me to enter the email with which I made the purchase. I enter it and nothing happens, it stays on that screen
Itch.io servers are running into issues... https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/itch-io
We all have to wait. It's like that since 4 days...
right now it still doesn't work
At the moment it seems to work, but Itch still have problems..

Hi there, i did all the step and got the adb green..but i have to enable dev mod. When i go to web dev mode on my apps i and set my phone, i dont receive the sms with the code.
Hello, I'm not responsible about the dev mode, but you can find many tutorial on the internet :-) This one for example :
ive try top see all video, do the same, but cannot solve this...ive seen many people had the same problem, so o thought there was answers about it
I don't have an answer on dev mode. Dev mode isn't on my side but on Meta side. I can't really help you except showing you some tutorial videos...
got it, ill see then
Update: ive try to use a different phone number from another country..and i got the sms. I think is all about the vpn that stop the receiving of it. Just in case someone will have the same issue. That worked for me. All the best.
Okay, good to know ! Thanks !
Have fun with QGO !
My email is not recognized when trying to launch the app. Can you please help? My itch.io account is verified - the email is my username at gmail
Hi, your email is this one
Does the in-headset way of installing the APK still work? Tried using Mobile VR Station and it wouldnt let me access the download folder, and have seen comments online of people saying the same thing since some recent Meta update. Was hoping I could avoid the hassle of sideloading
Edit:nvm got it working!
;-D
It wont to accept my email after i already made an ith.io account
I found your email here :
If it isn't the right email, please send me an email with the correct one
Was it possible for you to include netflix VR, prime (not VR) or even the Quest browser and such? or did it matter? Seems like most of the apps i use has no edit so it remains untouched.
Hi, QGO can only optimize VR applications, not 2D ones ;-)
Hi
Just wanted to say thanks for file!
Like others , it took a while to get past the ADB thing! But to be honest it's not that hard and I'm nearly 50!
I know it does it automatically, but is there any info on what settings are used to improve frame rate further? I don't want to mess around and I can't change them back. Or is that just in premium version
Cheers and thanks 👍 👍 🙏
Hi, if you love QGO, don't forget to rate it :-)
You can set the refresh rate you want or all the settings you want ;-)
Don't worry, you can revert your QGO settings to default at any time, and keep in mind that all the ADB stuff is reset when you restart or shut down your Quest. Android system work like that so if you shut down or restart your Quest, you have a normal Quest until you play again with QGO ;-)
This is driving me insane... I've finally got to the point that the APK is installed...but... From following the video in the headset:
1. I can't drag the icon from the right hand side of the quest taskbar to the left
2. The ADB isn't registering
3. Developer mode is on
4. When I follow your video, I try method 2...I open the settings, but this opens the settings on from my mobile phone NOT my quest, so I can't access the usb debugging toggle
I've given up for today, after spending 3 hours trying to resolve this
Hi, don't panic ;-)
1. You can only do that if you have a free slot. If I remember, there are only 5 slots on left side of the taskbar. So remove one and put QGO in place of it.
Else you can use the second solution and for example use Horizon feed as your shortcut
2. What do you mean by ADB isn't registered ?
4. When you use the second method, this should open this settings window :
What do you mean by the mobile phone settings ? The settings you can see here are Android settings, yes on your phone this is the same app. But as your Meta Quest is and Android device, it has the same settings.
Thanks I'll take a look when I get home... Yeah the settings are weird, literally shows my phone, it's current battery level, its Mac address, but will take another look when both devices have not been connected for a while!
The ADB not registered... The big red bar :)
It's normal the Quest is seen as a phone device on the Android system ;)
If ADB isn't enable, just follow my steps and enable it :-)
Hiya, finally got there thanks...it crashed/seized up a few times when allowing USB debugging... But eventually beat it... Many thanks!
🙃
Bonjour, j ai lu ceci ce matin :
https://stylistme.com/vr-ar-jeu-tuto/fin-du-mode-developpeur-meta-quest
je ne sais pas si vous êtes informé ou c est un fake?
Bonjour, pas d'inquiétude, Meta fait juste le tri dans les comptes non utilisés. Donc revalide juste ton compte developpeur ou continue d'utiliser des applications nécessitant le mode développeur et tout ira bien. En fait de trop nombreuses personnes ont créé le compte developpeur mais ne l'utilisent plus vraiment et Meta veut faire un peu de ménage. Tant que tu ne reçois pas le mail, pas de souci à te faire et si tu le reçois, il faudra faire en sorte de confirmer que tu utilises bien ce mode.
Ok, merci.
I checked the Dev mode was enabled the same way it was shown in the installation video with only the quest and ADB shows as green but theres still a red banner saying Dev mode is not enabled despite still being able to check Developer options, is it working or not?
Please be sure dev mode is enabled in your Meta Quest mobile app ;-)
Android developer options aren't the same thing as the Meta developer account.
On Pico and all Android phone, it's the case, but not for Meta devices... Meta dev mode = Meta organization. You can google that to find tons à tutorials.
Enabled dev mode from the app and the red banner is gone, thanks!
Super !
The next time, please read all the explanations and prerequisites on my Itch.io page ;-D
I'd like a refund please. There's no way I can install this, it's to complicated and just crashes all the time when reaching the ADB-part. How do we proceed with my refund?
Hello, dozens of thousands of users uses QGO without problem, so I will help you to make it work 👍
I will need :
- what is your Meta Quest headset (Quest 3) ?
- what is the version of the system (v69) ?
- what is the method you used to enable ADB ? (sidequest PC or full standalone mode)
- what do you mean by crash ?
You can join me some screenshots if you want ;-)
I made it! :D
Trying to see a difference with the QGO on and off. One screenshot is HD+ and one is regular.
Hi, you should see that (please open the images with your computer or zoom on it)
And please enable OVR Metrics Tool you should see :
Here what you can see is the game is rendered at a higher resolution ;-)
You should also try other games, Contractors have a decent resolution by default, so the difference is perhaps not the biggest you can see. But this one is used by official Contractors teams during world tournaments
OK I’m sold 😅 Got the hang of the basics now and tested in Onward. Nice upgrade. Thanks for your patience. I’m a Mac user AND old so… 😆
I have some users over 70yo 🙃
If you love the app, don't forget to leave a rating and some stars on my page :-)
I upgraded to Q3 and the app wouldn't load. On Sunday I got an email from the developer saying he'd received a bug report and had fixed the problem for me. Sure enough it now loaded. Amazing customer support! Went into my favourite game and found the clarity was much improved. Highly recommended!
:-)
Bonjour,
Je n'arrive pas à mettre QGO sur mon quest 3. On ne peut plus utiliser le mode développeur. Une fois que j'ai décompressé votre fichier sur mon pc, que faire ? Suis obligé d'utiliser la méthode avec le sidequest ?
Merci
Bonsoir. Vous avez deux possibilités pour installer QGO et le mettre à jour. Elles se trouvent dans la section installation et instructions. Vous pouvez installer QGO depuis le casque (nouveau) ou bien avec sidequest comme avant. Dans tous kes cas je propose deux vidéos et de nombreuse videos de youtubeurs sont aussi disponibles dans la section dédiée.
I can see the file in downloads, but I can’t see in unauthorised apps. Used cable/pc method. Any ideas?
Hi, because of a Meta bug, you must display multiple time unknown sources to see the unknown sources. So switch app view then re display unknown sources 😉
Thanks. Not near my headset now, but will try tomorrow.
Working fine now. Looks great. Great job. Well done.
Super ! Don't forget to leave a rating on my page if you love the app 😉
I accidentally turn on auto direction how do I fix it
Do you mean auto detection ? If yes, just turn it off ;-) Go to the same place where you turned it on
When setting up I can get to opening settings checking builder than I go to system and developer option is not there I can't get the debug part to get a code I don't get it.
You must first go to About and click 7 time in the Build to enable the developer options
Thank you for all your help it works great.
You're welcome :-) Feel free to leave a rating if you love the app :-)
hi when installing game optimizer just with the headset using mobile vr station do i download the apk file on my phone or do i download it through the headset web browser.
Through your headset as you install it from the headset 👍
I think I get was @daspinall is saying. The "How to" video at the top is fuzzy during the first few seconds. It took me a bit to figure out that you're typing "mob" in the search.
Now that I have figured that out, I don't get any results in my search for "mob" - I don't get a result at all, and no other searches bring up an app called "Mobile VR Station."
Mobile VR station must be downloaded from the Store 😉 And if you want to install with XR Native Android File Manager (see my other apps), the video also shows that.
If you open the video 4K this will help 👍
