That's awesome!
I'm using the Gear's Media Controller app. On my rooted Note 3, I froze the Samsung Music app, then the Gear's Media Controller app controls whatever the front most media app is on the Note 3.
So I'll launch the Yatse XBMC remote app, and can then control XBMC with the Gear!
...nothin' as elaborate as what you've got there though, all I can do basically is pause/play. :laugh:
So, how do you do this?

recently rooted my gear and have the watchon app on my note 3.
#DoWant to get the mile and put it on my gear! digging through XDA now for the gear .apk from the version pulled from the samsung store. Surprised the NULL rom didn't have support for it... although that's quite a bit to ask for my rooted watch now that I read it again

Thanks for your comment, but I'll wait until Shinji replies with his setup.
Firstly thank you for posting the video links!
Everything is very simple, I just install the rom Nul_23 on my gear (for my gear can access the Internet via bluetooth) and after I installed via playstore Yatse the application. One thing to be careful is to set Yatse in such a way as it can sync, without wifi (just a setting unchecked it seems).

I can't setting host in Yatse, at least in free version. always got failed to connect host even all settings done correctly. But it gives me idea to check Official XBMC Remote app that I'm using on my note 3 to contol XMBC conected via HDMI to my HDTV, and it works birliant! I can now same time control XMBC installed in my note 3 and on my PC by switching hosts instantly! Its now best media controler for Galaxy gear! I can brose folders added to library in note or PC and play control XMBC in every aspect and fucntion! I was looking for some media controller but this is better then I could even think!
Ok, quickly tutorial how to:
0) Connect your gear with phone, set up internet thetring and bluetooth internet access on gear
1) Install on your device prompt version of XMBC (Windows on PC or Android on your phone or both)
xbmc.org/xbmc-13-1-gotham-rc1/ (scroll down to find links under "Conclusion")
2) Install Official XBMC Remote on your Gear
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote
3)Then you have to install another app on your gear that can open menu soft key inside your Gear to add and set up host:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhoadster91.floatingsoftkeys
4) Open Floating Soft Keys *ROOT* and try to set it up to your needs, try to play with this app as it very usefull and easy to understand. Soft keys will stay always on top of other apps, when you thick "collapse to notification.." when you long press back button it will collapse and can be reopen from notification bar by tap on "click to..
5) Now open your XMBC program on device and follow instructions to config XMBC:
yatse.leetzone.org/redmine/projects/androidwidget/wiki/XbmcConfig
6) Now you need to find out your IP (Windows: Start-run-cmd-ipconfig, Android 4.4.2 note 3: click on your wireless connection)
7) Open Official XBMC Remote on your Gear, tap menu key from floating soft key, Add Host: set up same as in XMBC main app and click connect.
8) Enjoy!
You can add more then one host from manage XMBC hosts in settings and simply switch between them from menu!
(this is my frist tutorial ever so please be kind
Hi, Is there any way to send photos from a mobile phone need to watch?
I tried using "Bluetooth File Transfer", but I was unable to install to watch. Thanks for the tips
Not an option, I don't know why as it isn't be possible as apps are sent between the phone and watch, but it's only possible to transfer via USB at the moment.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Seek from the mobile app: samsung app gear
TransGear
It says you can transfer files via BT
Thanks and does not convert the image to a smaller resolution? I found a similar app, but that figure decreased to 320x320.
On my previous Samsung devices (Galaxy S5, Tab S 10.5"), there was an option under the My Files app to "Scan for nearby devices". I would use this to access my network media drives to copy to/from files. This option is no longer available in the My Files app on the Tab S2. Is this feature available somewhere else on the Tab S2? How can I access my network drives now from the Tab S2?
Many thanks in advance!

I don't have the actual Gear VR headset for my Note 4. But I did manage to get the Oculus app to work and running. Even managed to download some apps for it. But I can't get any of the apps to open. I get the message "To open this application, insert your device into your Gear VR".
Surely there must be a way to trick it into thinking it's inserted into the Gear VR headset so that I can use it on my generic VR headset.
Does anyone know how? My searches have only yielded results about editing the AndroidManifest.xml of which I can only assume to be the actual package apk file of each app. Which I don't think applies to what I'm trying to do.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Ok I was able to enable Developer Mode from within Settings->Gear VR Service->Manage Storage and tapping on the version number 7 times.
That was AFTER I installed Sideload VR and created an Oculus account to obtain an Oculus Signature file and from Sideload, downloaded a sample apk with my sig injected into it.
Which now allows me to run Oculus apps without needing to insert it into a Gear VR.
However, I've noticed that nothing moves. It's not sensing my phone's gyroscopes so all is useless. And further searching suggests that Oculus uses a built-in gyro head tracking system INSIDE the Gear VR. Which is strange. I've always thought the Gear VR was just a headset shell. Why wouldn't it use the phone's gyros for movements?

It's because the gear vr sensors are significantly more sensitive than standard phone gyros for a smoother and entirely better /more comfortable experience. The gear VR is far from just a shell, really is worth the cost.

I have the developerboard and flashed the open rift firmware on it. My pc detects it as a rift dk1. When I connect the board to my fone with a hist cable the board lights up nicely.
But I am unable to get oculus home running without a gearvr. (The chip on the board is the same as in the dk1 and I think the gear vr uses that chip too)
So any help getting oculus home running on my s6 with gear vr would be great!
nevermind
I've got it all working.. in developer mode I can start oculus home and the ST32f3 board works great. I have head tracking!!
Trying to develop on the oculus and i can't seem to figure out where to put the sig file. I put it in /assets and it still tells me it needs to have me plug it into my unit, which is a pain.
You must turn development mode on.
In android go to settings, apps, app manager, gear vr service. There tab the version a few times. If you have placed you signature file correctly you will see you are a developer. Then in gear vr service you now have a switch for developer mode. Turn it on and test away!
I succeeded in repeating what Thai did. I can now run Oculus VR app and access Oculus video or Netflix VR but I cannot navigate within each app on my AT&T Note 4. I beleive this is due to the reasons stated earlier that the gear VR has different / more sensitive sensors than the note 4 itself.
Any idea on how to adjust the sensor configs to work with the internal note 4 components?
Also I am trying to get this working to use with my kids Viewmaster VR goggles which are awesome just want to be able to do netflix and watch our own movies in VR.
i managed to enable developer mode but my gyroscope doesnt seem to be working with the oculus apps, is there any way i can enable my s6's gyroscope with the apps, or at least a way to control the apps, touching the screen doesnt really do much when the cursor is dead at the middle of the screen.
I don't think so but what you can do (I've done this and works great) is get a stm32f3discovery board for about 25$ on ebay. Then flash the open gear vr firmware and you are good to go.
And if you connect the board to a pc and install the open source foculus rift drivers and you have a gtx videocard you can play Dk1 stuff!!
http://www.roadtovr.com/can-now-clone-gear-vr-test-virtual-reality-apps/
Simply use a micro USB extension cable to connect the Gear VR with the cable to the phone, then you don't have to wear the headset but can still move it to see the response on the screen
Oculus
Where does Oculus keep the apk files downloaded, there is this demo I downloaded and than uninstalled, but it keeps in my Library to install again and there is no way to get rid of it, is it possible to delete that file manually? Also where does Oculus download the apk files on your phone? Thank you
Controller
I was wondering whether a bluetooth controller could navigate the gear vr without having to use the gyro sensors. This could be good as it removes the need for the board
Apk

Run The Netflix Gear Vear app in a Moto Max
I looking everywhere trying for any possible way to run the Netflix app for VR, in another devices out of samsung. I selling a generic low cost VR Headset and the people want to see Netflix in their device. There is a way to make this posible?
How?
ok guys, i had a sneaky suspicion that the new gear vr "powered by oculus" was just a glorified cardboard box in disguise.
so i downloaded the oculus home apk (use google) then put vr in developer mode - works 100%. thanks guys
So, the 2016 GearVR (black one) supposedly supports OTG storage through its external USB Type-C port.
But I guess it was only possible when using the now terminated Note 7.
When I try using a USB drive through said port using my Note 5, there's no sign of it in the Gear VR video players or even the Samsung Gear image gallery.
So is it possible for a ROM to achieve this? OTG through GearVR 2016 port?
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I have not been able to access anything o the MicroUSB port myself. Not sure if your purpose is to store big 3D movies, but what I do is have a SMB / FTP NAS(Asus router) and use file manager to access the videos on network.

Precisely. But how does this solution work? Can Moon Player access the movies seamlessly? Does the Network Drive show up as a storage drive?

After a lot of researching.. I finally found a solution that worked for me.
First I use ;
[Cardboard for Gear VR] to disable GearVR services from running. There are other apps that can stop the service from starting- making GearVR act like a Google Cardboard
then I use [AiCloud] from ASUS - I have an Asus router. This allows me to access my USB drive plugged into Router securely. There are other apps that can do this. Even if you do a share from PC on the network. That is a different discussion and you can find it easily online.
I brows my files on the NAS and click it using AiCloud. It asks what player I want to use, I use [VRTV] (The best looking one for watching videos on GearVR . You can name you files with key words to launch it in a specific format, so you don't have to select it everytime in 2D mode.
I use a bluetooth game controller Moga. I reassigned the buttons to exit, back button, play , go forward , etc..
Now I kick back and can back out to AiCloud when done , WITH GEARVR ON , close right eye and select another movie with controller.
