Perhaps you should search the Themes & Apps Section. You'd be surprised by what you find.
If I buy an app on my phone from the play store can I download it again on another phone or a tablet? How does this work on Amazon paid apps? Basically can you pay for an app and have it run on multiple devices?

For purchases on Play Store, you can install on as many devices as you wish as long as they are logged in to that Google account.
If you peeps haven't seen it, here's a link to the apps and games not available in the Oculus store yet.
1 Download the game.
2 Install the game.
3 Start the app like any other app.
4 Insert phone in gear vr headset.
5 Have fun.
No root needed.

Good job sandman, thanks for sharing
No problem. I like a few of the games already. They just need a few optimazations. Also if you start the app and it seems like it's not working or frozen, just wait it out. It will start shortly.

Before I update my phone to Lollipop (still on KitKat) I would like to know what is picture quality on Netflix on Gear VR. It was added to download section yesterday but Android 5+ is requirement and I like to hear from someone who already used it if is worth to upgrade my phone.

It's the same as the Oculus Cinema
Hey. Literally just got the VR for my Note 5 yesterday and have to admit it's pretty cool. Was wondering if we are contained to only the apps in the Occulus store or is there a way to use the VR apps in the Play Store. The Gear VR launcher doesn't seem to allow you to leave it's launcher to explore other apps on your phone.
I'm still trying to grasp all the stuff I can do on this. Oh yeah, also is there anyway to use this with my DJI Phantom 3?

There's an app for that! It's called CB Enabler for Gear VR (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.youtopiavr.cbenabler). With this app you can disable the autostart of Oculus home when inserting the phone into the HMD.
I use an app called Cardboard for Gear VR that works great.

That one only works for rooted phones, right? CB Enabler works for non-rooted phones, but does cost money.

Highly recommend Package Disabler Pro. You also can put a widget on your screen to disable that one particular file needed, which is "Gear VR Service". You would disable this with program or widget, then start the Cardboard app you want and insert into phone. By the file/process (whatever : ) being disabled, your Gear VR will not try to start Oculus home. You can use some of the Cardboard features to by sliding a magnet on the left side of device to mimic what the Cardboard itself does. Left edge close to top, and sliding up and down, seems to work for me; or find apps that use a bluetooth controller to avoid this extra hassle.

Use search once in a while.?
Some work using the actual Gear VR controls on the headset. I read about waving a magnet in front of the headset and accidentally discovered it was not necessary in most cases. In other cases a cheap Bluetooth controller is a great alternative and a must for games that require one.

You don't even have to use Search, since you can just read the posts already up, as in mine on #9 below! : ) I gave mostly the same answer already, and more specific on where and how to use the magnet. As Developweb stated too, some work with normal trackpad on Gear VR, even when Package Disabler is working and disabling the Gear VR Service process.
