How do you download apps on gear with Nexus 5?

I installed Gear Manager on my Nexus 5. I have a Gear 2 Neo watch and was wondering how to download apps from the Samsung Apps store onto my Gear 2. There is no option to access Samsung Apps in my Gear Manager app and Im stuck with the default apps that are already preloaded on the Gear 2.

You can't because you don't have a samsung phone. The samsung App Store is locked in to Samsung products only. That's why I'm trying to find someone who can extract the apps and post them so we all can experiment on ways to side load them..

How to call Samsung Gear Apps from my application?

I create a Tizen application for Gear S2 and I want to add feature to install another application (I know app id, name and other information).
Also I know how to launch Galaxy Apps or Samsung Apps from my Gear S2 application to install something but I can't find any information how to launch Samsung Gear Apps from my code.
The question is how to launch Samsung Gear (Samsung Gear Apps) application installed on my phone from my code (from application on Gear S2). I just need to know correct url.
Note: To call Samsung Apps I use the tizen.application.launchAppControl() function and correct link.
I would appreciate any information you could provide.

NOVA LAUNCHER as pertains to: Gear VR Motion Controller and NOTE 4 problem

Hello!
I saw there was a thread for Note 4 / Motion Controller already, but it seems to have stalled because only people who know NOVA Launcher, perhaps can help, but won't know it; So I put Nova in the title. The problem: Oculus DELIBERATELY DEPRECATED the Motion Controller from working on note 4 (which it was working on fine, and destroyed my ability to finish Apps in production). So, we Note 4 deveoopeds of Gear VR apps, need to reinstall the older setup. All the APKs havd been located, but The closest anyone has come to making it work is a guy who says this:

"Hi everyone! So glad I can contribute to XDA!
you want to use Nova launcher activities (google it) and something like Aptoide to download the following:
Oculus VR apks (Home, App framework, etc.) as many as possible
More important still : download apps of Samsung's "Gear VR" service, setup wizard, system, input service, etc.
No need to root.
Once downloaded, create activities in Nova launcher widget on touchwiz or direct on Nova or custom launcher. Create them esp for Input Service to pair that VR controller that's the best $30/30€ you'd ever spend...
Better news still, all this is DPI free so if like me you are using a low setting for extra space on your Note 4 screen esp with the docking station HDMI that gave us D'ex before Dex, it does not screw with your stock VR apps."

While it's cool he suceeded, and nice of him to mention it, it is a little vague, it has however I believe ONE PERTINENT CLUE = This 'NOVA Launcher' mention. Perhaps a dev familiar with NOVA can discern what he means? How could NOVA sta din for Wifi and install apks instead? Gear VR auto installs all the apks over WIFI, and manual install, doesn't work.
I need to find how to (use NOVA?) to get OCULUS installed manually with downloaded APK's. ( https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&page=2&s=Oculus )
This guy who wrote the above did so almost a month ago, and people have since asked him for some details, but after 30 days with no further word, I don't think he'll be sharing anymore about his mysterious process.
Please help if you can, I will endeavor to pay it forward in my 5 technical specialities.

G-Voice or GAssist.net for GW3?

I am mainly using the watch to interact with my IoT devices. which one of those will get me the best results?

Both apps do the same in essence but in a different way.
I decided to use GAssist.net a long time ago with the original Galaxy Watch
Then upgraded to the Active 2 and set it up again with ease.
At that point I added it to my fathers Galaxy Watch 3 and we are loving it.
Great app for google assistant users such as ourselves.
Not sure about G-Voice but I was able to get personal results turned on for my watches.
Allowing for many features that are necessary to call the assistant functional.
Good luck and enjoy!

Is Samsung gear vr on note 4 dead? any custom rom with vr support?

Hello good people, i have note 4 n190c version and i tried vr and oculus app goes in infinitive loading or sometimes it crash. i tried 2 different stock roms and it is the same... i tried everyhing... facebook services are enabled i checked...
is there way to make it work? even offline? if someone have working gear vr it is posible to copy data and make some kind offline version?

The oculus app on the latest and last Gear vr for the Note 9 has issues you just described as well. I'm running stock firmware as well.

I found out i can only run samsung gallery app offline... i tried other apps to side load like i found apks online but it fails to start black screen usually, it need some signature i think and "Injector for GearVR" app on google play does not working, it fails on every apk to give signature...

I found i way to sideload all apks first you can use "SideloadVR" app google apk and download it, you have a lot of apps to try there, but first you need to make "OSIG" file specific for your device on oculus site you must login with any account (even give number for developer) and go to OSIG generator link google it and there with your ID (you can find in sideloadVR app your id) you then generate OSIG file and download it (be sure it is on phone download folder because sideloadVR only detects osig in that folder) and then you can easily use almost any app that is listed in sideloadVR... for specific app you want to use you can make almost any apk on computer ready for your device with "Add OSIG" google it have tutorial too i managed to make "samsung internet" apk signed with my osig file and app its working in phone normally and i can browse and watch youtube in vr now ...
One more thing... to prevent oculus "update avaiable first screen" when you connect your device to gear vr... use some app disabler i use "FreezeYou!" to disable "Gear VR System" service and no more first screen update... you just need to manually now launch vr app you want and then connect it to gear...
