GEAR VR/OCULUS APP without the headset - Samsung Gear VR

Hi Guys,
I'm done setting up my phone (910C) with my new Gear VR. Installed all the apps I want.
My question is;
I have this cheap VR headset that I got before I even have the Gear VR. Is there any way that I could use these oculus apps on this VR headset?
When I try to start the apps like VR Galley, Oculus cinema, Oculus 360 photos and Temple run VR from Oculus home a pop up appears saying I have to insert my phone to Gear VR.
Thanks and Regards,

Found a way. Consider this thread closed.

Please share!!!

Even with root you can not get Gear apps to work without the Gear VR. Seems a communication issue here, unless found a way to trigger the UI without the USB and handshake process the Note 4 and Gear use. Not respectfully likely .

Sorry Guys, Let me update this.
I did found a way to launch Occulus/Gear VR apps without the Gear VR Headset by activating Developer mode. There is a thread of that here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-vr/general/gear-vr-development-t3029081
Unfortunately apps won't work properly as it needs to communicate with the Gear VR to have head tracking sensors to work.

Is there a way to activate the head tracking sensors?

Chillingo's D.A.R.K. on the Xoom!

EA/Chillingo's shoot-em-up game, D.A.R.K. popped up on EA's website recently as an exclusive download only for Xperia Play owners. I happen to be one. I downloaded the game and installed it on my Xoom, Galaxy Tab, and Thunderbolt. It plays flawlessly. It is a trial version that can be unlocked. It gives you about a half hour trial then asks for a credit card.

TRIAL DOWNLOAD
Visiting the link to droidgamers on my pc, xoom and evo 3d it won't let me download because it's not for my device obviously. So the only way you can download the trial is to actually have a xperia play.
Would be possible to get you to post the apk

Hey Legion! After downloading the app, I am unable to play the game as it tells me that its unable to connect to the internet. I'm using a WiFi Xoom...pretty sure that's the issue...does anyone with a WiFi Xoom confirm if they got it working? May need to download the files manually to get the game to start
yeah, unfortunately you have to bee connected to the internet to validate the license, but there are no additional files to download

Much needed
The calculator app is the first I searched but no, not yet at least.
It's much needed to expand the usage of the watch.
Got to have the calculator, it helps a lot when shopping.
Questions, does the S pen work on the gear watch for the dialer or going through menus and screens like in the Note 3?

Or you can post the apk here in the meantime.
Ian B
Good idea, since its going to take over a week to have it published on Samsung Apps store...
I just realised I forgot to add a 'clear' function so once I've added that in, ill release the apk here.
how to side load the apps once rooted?
Wondershare MobileGo for Android is easy and what i use to sideload.
Calculator for Gear
I've made a calculator app specifically for the Galaxy Gear.
This is my first ever released application for Android so if you find any bugs, have suggestions, etc, please let me know as I would love to improve it.
Meanwhile as I wait for Samsung Store to approve it, here is the APK for v1.0.
I know its a calculator but have you got a screenshot plz .....good work
Press thx if i help you

I have purchased several things on aliexpress and never had issues with their products or services.
I already wasted money on one gamepad so I bit the bullet and ended up buying the Moga Power Pro instead. On sale at the moment for just under $50 so it's still cheaper than the Samsung Gamepad.
I bought the ipega 9025, only 23$ for a full fledged controller and works perfectly with Dreadhalls, Herobound, Protocol Zero and navigating through menus.

Where i can find Milk VR?

Hi quick question where i can find Samsung Gear VR app on oculus store ? Looks like quite few nice things in the app but i cant find it. Can that be for US users only (im in UK) or i am just blind like a bat [emoji51]
Wysłane z mojego SM-G925F przy użyciu Tapatalka
If I remember correctly, it should prompt you to download it once you plug your Samsung device into GearVR.
Downloading Milk VR is only possible from the USA. Just download a free VPN client.
Set your location to USA and download it from the Oculus Store (close all apps before starting Oculus Store to prevent reloading it from the memory..).

useful, ONLY US IP can get this, my HK IP need that GoVPN free Client to go
I used hola free VPN app from play store. Choose oculus store in hola and select USA. Then it will open the oculus store from USA and milk VR is there to download.

Your app store country has to be USA to be able to download this
Use Opera VPN, switch to USA... Go to Oculus and download Samsung VR
