I should probably preface this by saying that this is probably a feature that is probably unfeasible and would only appeal to a small amount of people, but still...
Is it possible to get Gear VR working on AOSP? I just tried it myself, but inserting the phone into the Gear VR did nothing. Manually installing the VRSetupWizardStub.apk and trying to force the setup process just leads to a force close. Sideloading any of the Oculus APKs (such as Oculus360Videos.apk) also leads to a force close.
Getting the setup wizard to work would be the first step, but even still, the software requires certain files from the NK4 firmware update to work - phones that do not have this update will be told that an update is required whilst running the setup wizard.
That said, I'm wondering if anyone smarter than me has any insight as to whether or not this is possible, and if it is, how to go about getting it working.
Cheers in advance!

Is anyone else having this problem? I have the block updates "on" in the Mods Collection for Ouya, but obviously it isn't working. Every time I turn the system on it's trying to update it. Any suggestions?

I was having this issue also till i got tired of it and i just updated my OUYA, i couldn't figure it out and i also asked for any input about it not working but no one cared and never got a reply back from anyone including WonderEkin but this should be asked over at the Mod collection for OUYA forum if you wana get some type answer...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359390
The block updates only worked until they changed their update method with the 'incremental' updates ~3 months ago. However the latest version of stock SHOULD allow you to temporarily reject an update without plugging/unplugging an Ethernet cable.
But since the mod collection hasn't been updated in several months as well, so I wouldn't expect too much assistance besides "Update to Jackalope and the update-blocking will be built into stock" suggestions...
Yeah, I just gave up and ran the update. I couldn't play anything half of the time because it kept trying to update the system. Everything seems to still be working okay, though...haven't fun into any problems yet. Thanks!
Several months ago I installed CM10 on my Nook HD+ and for the most part everything runs perfectly.
However in mid March I installed a Cyanogen update and very soon after I noticed many of my apps (all downloaded from Amazons app of the day) would not run, giving me the following error:
Internal Service Error: An internal error occurred. This can be caused by a lack of network connectivity, please make sure you have a good network connection.
At the time, I Googled and tried the suggestions I found (although the suggestions were all for other devices such as Kindle Fire). I checked the time and date were correct, deregistered and reregistered my device and tried rebooting.
And that seemed to fix the issue, although I concede I havent been using the Nook much lately.
Tonight I went to use my Nook to play a few games and the problem is back and its even worse now. I now cannot play any of my games, even ones I have played numerous times before without any wifi turned on. We dont have wifi at home, I tether my phone when I want to use the internet on my Nook. I do know there are some games that require internet access, however the vast majority of mine dont, which I know for a fact as I've played them so often with no internet.
So, why all of a sudden, does everything need wifi? How can I fix this? Is it just coincidence the problem occurred immediately after a system update, and if it could be the update that caused it, how can I find out which update it was and can it be uninstalled?
The instances of this I found mentioned online mainly referred to it happening to just one app, and some people found uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixed the issue. But I have close to 200 apps all doing this.
Since I mainly use the Nook for playing these games, its useless to me as it is now and if I cant fix this issue I wont have any choice but to remove the Mod and return it to stock software, which I really dont want to have to do.
Please can someone help me with this, in basic, non-technical language please?
Thank you.
Hello?
Please, does anyone have any input on this problem? Have I asked in the wrong forum?
I asked about this in another forum and it was suggested that maybe the update made my Nook appear like a new device to Amazon and that the error message is the games wanting to confirm with Amazon that the license to run the game was correct (or something along those lines).
I have just tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of games and now they work so it would appear that suggestion is exactly what has happened. So I guess I now have to uninstall and redownload all those 200+ apps and games, which is going to be a nightmare with no internet at home.
And if updates cause the device to appear different, then how do I know this wont keep happening with future updates? I am not going to keep reinstalling every thing, so do I just turn updates off instead? That doesnt seem like a very wise idea.
I would really appreciate some help with this please, or even just to be pointed in the right direction if I should be asking elsewhere.
Thank you.
Well I guess no one has any advise or help of any kind to offer. I will post this update in case anyone else has the same issue.
I ended up having to uninstall and redownload every one of my apps, and now they all work fine again, so I can only assume the suggestion I received on a different forum that the update made my device appear as a new device, meaning the internet was needed for the apps to check licenses with Amazon was correct.
With this in mind, I would now never recommend the Cyanogen mod to any one else. Whats the point if updates are going to screw everything like this? I have now turned off the updates, which I would normally never do. When my Nook gets to the stage of having to have updates I will uninstall Cyanogen and just go back to using a stock Nook.
Its a shame as I have been very happy with it up until all this happened but since there is no back up or support from anyone when things go wrong, its simply not worth the hassle.

i! I have a issue with the samsung gear vr and my note 4. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me over here. No matter how many times I update(or attempt to update) my phone software, the gear vr will simply not work. I always get a message that my phone needs a software update. I’m aware that this is a common problem for some users but I wonder if there's any alternative way to make it work. I’ve read that some carriers simply don’t support the software needed yet and that I should simply wait for the update to get here. I’ve also read that I will absolutely need the Lollipop 5.0 update before I can use my Samsung vr. Lastly, I’ve read that the model of Galaxy note 4 I have(SM-N910H) is not compatible with the gear vr because of the region I live in and that I should get an unblocked phone (SM-N910C, specifically) in order to successfully update my phone and plug it into my Gear Vr.
Is there anything at all I can do to either manually install the software? I hope you can help me with this, I’m extremely frustrated with this problem. Thanks in advanced!
So I got a new toy. A Samsung Gear Live. I've had it for a week and so far really like it. The biggest issue I seem to be having is the companion apps. I don't know why, but they refuse to work. Everytime I try to use one I get an error message to the tune of, " not connected to a device with this application" or "lost connection to phone". This is clearly untrue. I can see that I'm still connected and even the device itself acknowledges it. I just can't figure it out.
I have attempted a power cycle, using the restart function, a hard reboot, even reseting it back to factory. I rebooted my phone, Uninstalled and reinstalled the apps on the phone, and still no luck. I'm at a loss. Anyone who knows what to do on this front would be very welcome.
What are companion apps?
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Companion apps, are the apps that are activated on your smart watch. Like the dominoes easy order app, or a bank app that let's you check your balances without pulling out your phone.
I did find my problem however. It seems that my gear live was shipped with a dev kit. I had to completely reflash it to stock software to get it to run correctly.
How did you figure out it was a dev kit? Im having similar problems. Thanks.
Fixed the problem resetting the watch and reinstalling the Android wear app. However now in the storange manager its showing three of several apps. How to fix please?
You can find if it has a Dev kit under the settings. Under build I believe. It should be a set of numbers with "dev" somewhere in it. If that's there, it's gonna hold up your regular use of the watch. It caused the apps not to work right or not to show up, etc. I'll see if I can find the link I used before for how I reset the watch to stock firmware.
Hello everyone,
Just go a LG-W280A online (Nougat, 7.1.1, NQF43E) and trying to get it to update to Oreo, but no luck so far.
The watch does download the update, but when it comes to install it, it fails verification it seems. I've been through the process at least 5 times already, with a factory reset of the watch in the middle.
Anybody else in Canada have this problem? Is Oreo worth it? If it breaks Google Pay, no, and it's the main reason I bought the watch.
Any help or tips would be appreciated.
Well, it seems patience is the key. I left my phone and my watch charging one beside the other for a few hours. I went to check if an update was available, and was greeted with the "Reboot to install?" prompt.
It took 4-5 times.
I'd say if you come across the same problem, just keep at it. It will work.

I'm from italy...same problem...4 time i download the update (780 MB transferred from bluetooth to watch everey time...oh my god! ), every time the update doesn't pass the verification.
i try this night with a vpn centered in USA.
Hello again,
@stefal639 I assume that it will do the same as mine. Just keep at it, the update will work eventually.
I can confirm that Google Pay in Canada still works after the Oreo update (Wear OS 1.2, 8.0.0, OWDL.180126.012).
I solve shutting off the Bluetooth and I use the direct download from server to watch by wifi.
All ok
