vr browser update
Has anyone updated the vr browser and it still works on note 4

Before the update the vr browser would not launch and just show a black screen, like you are describing. I recently updated the vr browser and it started to work for me and function properly. Try reinstalling the oculus app and install the samsung internet browser with your vr gear on.

Where to get all the apps?

Am I stupid? I for the life of me cannot find where to get any of the apps? Oculus app? MilkVR? Where do I get them??
I'm in Canada and because Samsung is a bi**h they still don't provide any here. I want to try and watch VR videos and such with the Google Carboard that I have but for the life of me don't understand why it's so difficult! I have an s5, cardboard and some mp4 videos that are top/bottom for whatever reason. I'm assuming that the app flips them somehow? Otherwise, how are you supposed to watch? I'm very confused here, please help!
You can't get the Gear VR apps without the Gear VR. They won't work even if you could load them without the Gear VR.
Look for an app called "cardboard theatre" it will let you play those over under files.

SideloadVR for Gear VR

Anyone here familiar with this? It's pretty cool, sort of a sideloading market for people to put up their creations, doesn't post the programs in Oculus VR, but the programs work within the Gear VR headset.
http://sideloadvr.com/
Pretty cool. I got Quake VR from there, plus a not half bad Youtube theater app.

I had the same problem. The epub you are loading is likely still drm protected. If you can remove the drm protection ( not for pirating-must own the book) it does work. However the book I loaded now works perfectly in all other epub readers and in Virtualex Reader does not display pictures (just text) and the text is in a courier like font (blech). I uninstalled once I got it working. ?

No luck here. I will keep trying, but considering that you can't control the font it might not be worth it anyways.

When you install SideLoad VR, it takes you through the process of generating an Oculus key which in turn enables you to install the Oculus home store. Unfortunately, anything you launch from the store still asks that you plug in GearVR... Wish there was a way around this. Surely whatever info OpenGear is sending to phones to emulate GearVR should be able to be run as a server on your PC over the same USB cord instead?

Was it DRM? It took me all day to find which removal system would work with mine.

Nope, it is not a DRM protected.
Hmm, for some reason i have a 18 digit ID, which causes all sorts of trouble as the oculus page will just accept 16 digits :/ Anyone know how to get around this?
hi, i use it with my samsung S6 edge gear
sideloadvr and download steam teather
then connect stream teather with nvidia shield ...goes ok
but i wonder if i can use it with team viewer or something like that so i can use the gear vr with all my desktop

Is it listed when you open Gear VR Service? You should be able to open it there. It will ask you to insert your device, if it installed properly, when you open it.

Updated to 1.46.
No need to root or install special ROM
No need to root or install special ROM
1. install MillkVR App from link provided by Great Dr. Ketan
2. install "Gala launcher for Gear VR" from google playstore
3. open Gala launcher and from its menu select MilkVR from Apps
4. Enjoy Milk VR with original samsung ROM. No need to root or install third-party ROM
But why that launcher also requires?
After simple installation of milkvr apk it should appear with oculus vr menu.
Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for the apk. I managed to make it run with included videos but i failed running an mkv file in MilkVR folder as i only managed a mp4 to play. Is there a way to play 2D or 3D mkv files in DTS/AC3 with the gear vr ? I though milkvr was the solution but apparently not.

Yes you can I can watch any movies on my gear VR.
You need to make folder for me I put in External SD card set like this..
Oculus/Movies/3D
if you want to play normal movie just put the files on Movies folder..
if you want to watch 3d movies put it in 3D folder the file should be HSBS or side by side only.

Downloading in-App Content Doesn't Work

I have a Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 7 Nougat and latest Gear VR R323, everything works fine except none of the apps that have in-app download works. If I hit the download then it will download the content and after if finishes it returns to the screen which says download! I tried more than 6 apps all have the same issue. Some of these apps have stream option which works perfectly.
Uninstalling all Oculus and Gear VR Apps helped me to solve the issue.

Can't use Oculus App 'cuz of Android 6

Okay, I have Gear VR (SM-R323), been using it with the Note 4 Exynos(N910C Android 6.0.1 with stock rom. Other roms don't have working Gear VR support.). Problem is that i can't use Oculus app with it. What happens is everytime i try to open oculus app, it requires me to update apps, but the app called "Oculus Browser" does not support Android 6.0.1 and oculus eventually fails to update it. I can see that it has the minimum requirement of Nougat 7.1 from apkmirror. Is there any workarounds for this? Or is this setup obsolete now? I apreciate every help, kind regards.
