I stumbled across this and decided to share it. Its like a Netflicks meets TV Shows Stream app that allows you to watch newer newer movies as well as ones that have been previously released. A great time killer. Give it a shot...

Stock video app - only if you have a rooted Chromecast and use the specific version of AllCast (see FAQ).
Otherwise you can use Avia (paid option) or RealPlayer Cloud.
Ohh OK Kool thank you very much

Chances are your chromecast got updated when you first plugged it in and the root won't work now.

I've also been a VERY proud owner of a Galaxy Note 3 since around early to mid-October when it was first released. All Chromecast-enabled apps have worked just fine on my phone **SO FAR**. As far as I can remember, I've never had a single issue casting from my Note 3, even with the "working" version of Koushik's AllCast/AirCast app. Everything has been just fine and problem-free thus far!!(As far as I know....*[1.]My fingers have remained crossed since I bought this phone back in October. ...&... [2.]This wooden desk has had a small knuckle-sized hole 'knocked' straight through it!!* LOL). But yea, as far as the "stock" Samsung Video app goes, as long as your Chromecast has been rooted and you've installed the correct, "working" version of Koushik Dutta's AllCast/AirCast app onto your phone, you *should* be able to just open up the Video app, locate your video that you're wanting to cast(Google's Chromecast PREFERS for "casted" videos to have the .mp4 file extension and also to have been encoded using the H264 video codec and the AAC audio codec.), and finallllllly, locate and press the "Share to AllCast" button up at the top of the app(If you don't happen to see the "Share to AllCast" icon up at the top of the Videos app, you just MAY have to click on the little 2 or 3 pronged "Share to..." button up at the top of the app instead and just scroll down the list that pops up to locate the AllCast app.). Assuming that your Chromecast has already been properly rooted and the correct version of "AllCast" has been installed, your video(Also assuming that the video has been properly encoded in the H264/AAC codecs.) *SHOULLLDDD* start playing on your tv screen in all its beauty (...with an echo ringing throughout your house/apartment/trailer/cardboard box(I'm TOTALLY J/K about this one!!) coming from your Chromecast sounding eerily like Tarzan in the jungle!! Lol!!).

Is there a way to look up what apps and games are out for someone who doesnt own the VR yet? This would increase my interest to buy one.
Oculus store

Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has found out how to get Netflix working at better than 720x480 @ 1750kbps on our S6 Active? I can't imagine that our phone can't support 5800kbps 1920x1080p. I was testing on my 300mb/30mb WiFi that easily supports 5800kbps playback on my laptop and Apple TV.
I've tried the discontinued APK on XDA from Keychar. The app crashes after logging in. Is there another APK that works?

Same problem here
I dont have an smart TV where i could watch netflix on so i am sharing my phones screen to tv and watching netflix that way and quality is pretty bad. This APK didnt work for me too. I have the exact same problem. So if anyone has some good solutions i would love to hear them too.
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.
