Oculus has disabled the Note 7 for use in the Gear VR. They said it for safety's sake. I understand that , but wow That really does hurt! I have had the Gear VR for 3 days and now because I have a Note 7 , it is rendered useless.

How do I do that? Do I need root? Thanks!
Yes, only with root, is too easy!
tech gainer dot com/change-fake-android-device-model-number-and-brand-name
Enjoy but be carefull
Works like a charm. Thanks.
I got root but i can't edit or change in Build.prop.
I have the Samsung Note 7 and the dr.ketan m3 rom. Superuser etc.. but I can't change. I still write the number SM-G935X but if I want to save they tell me can't write file

Just return the device already - you don't want a fire-hazard near your face. Seriously.

I'm quite happy with the note 4 so far and would like to keep it but I'm having issues with my Gear. I'm not sure if this is rom (currently on Null rom) related or note 4 only supports tizen, but these are my issues. I don't have these issues with my note 3.
1. When I get a text and I open it on the watch, it's supposed to clear the notification on the phone but it's not. So I still have to go the my messages on the phone and view them so the notification goes away.
2. I have my gear set up to auto unlock my phone when its near it, but it's not working. It stays locked (pattern unlock)
Anyone else with the Gear having any of these issues? If you're not can you tell me if you are using stock android rom or tizen. TIA.
interesting...I have a gear 2 neo coming, and I have a thread here as well, as so far, everyone says the Gear2 works flawlessly.
I assume the gear 1 and gear 2 use different firmware, so maybe that has something to do with it..
you might want to post this question in the "main" note 4 thread, to get more folks to look at it..
I'm also running null_23. Can confirm issue 2. I'm using hangouts for SMS. Not sure if notifications are dismissing for that, I'll let you know.

In some case I do put it in there but moderators always move it to Q&A which makes sense so I just put them in here.

Thanks for the confirmation. I tried rolling back to stock android rom but still the same. I really hope I don't have to go to tizen. I need my 60 second recoding which only can be had with Null rom.

Wase4711, Gear 1 and Gear 2 are significantly different. Gear 1's have the option of running android OR tizen, whereas gear 2 folks are pretty much locked into Tizen and that's that.
thanks, I did not know that:good:
whats the real difference when running either of them, outside of apps you might be able to load on the android OS?
tomorrow will be a busy day, configuring the note 4 and the gear 2!:cyclops:

using a regular rom on the Note 1, you can install LOTS of goodies.
Gear 2 apps are significantly more limited. IMO the gear 2 looks cleaner without that ugly wart camera.

that makes sense..
for me, the gear 2 had most of the things I would care about on it, plus, I knew getting the note 4 around the same time, my head would be exploding just getting that setup how I want it, let alone having to configure/learn how to use a Gear 2..Yeah, that "wart" of a camera on the gear 1 looked terrible..
How are you guys using null without Bluetooth tethering?
quick update; the gear 2 works fantastic with this phone..
I cant believe how clear and loud making a phone call from a watch actually is!
Plus, I get the "HD Voice" notification on the watch while calling, and its as clear as a bell!

Thanks for the update. It looks like I won't have a choice but to upgrade to tizen if I want my gear 1 to play right.

its not so bad; even though there arent a ton of programs for it, i really just want it for notifications/calls/texts/email and the pedometer and work out stuff. All that works great so far on a stock, non rooted note 4

Ya I use mine for mostly call, text notification, unlock feature but also camera and video recording. It beats holding a phone sometimes and having a 60 second recording (only available on custom rom) is a great.
Does anyone know where this app disappeared to? Had to redo my watch and now I can't find it in the Samsung app store

I had to fool my Note 4 into thinking it was a S5 to get it from the Gear store, although doesn't look like it's sending any messages atm. (Not got the greatest signal, so will report later)

How do you get your Note4 to think it's an S5? Yes, this is amateur hour....

lol don't worry about it, im the same.
I used root browser, and browsed to the "system" folder. Inside that folder is a file called "build.prop"
Open that with text editor, change the line that says
ro.product.model=****** change it to SM-G900H (after the = )
Save and reboot and you should be able to access the apps.

Hahaha, Brother when I say amateur hour --- I really mean amateur hour. My first android is this Note 4. I am totally impressed coming from iPhone 5 and willing to learn. Maybe I will take baby steps for the moment.
I'm sure there is a "Android for dummies" book out there somewhere....if not, make note that I trademark the title.

Is your note 4 rooted? If not then you'll not be able to edit the file.
You could try and download the apk from my Dropbox, make sure youve got unknown sources ticked.

In before mods, you should probably ask this question in the thread that already exists for it.

I too was heartbroken with the thought of having to return my Note 7. Actually hugged old boy when I left him at the T-Mobile store....
Alas the S7 Edge has given me some solace until the Note 8 is release... It's a nice phone but I keep getting the feeling that something is missing...
Still my VR works with it so there's that.

finally, I thought it very well, and I are extremely difficult to return the best devices ever caught in my hands! I was the owner of all the series of note 1.2.3.4.5 (simple and dual), and now to 7. I keep it then, and simply will pray every day, to find someone to analysis with gear vr oculus, and of course not started by samy lockable and other applications and imei, to cause us to turn back our devices! I believe that the samsung has regretted that he did definitively withdrawing the note 7. will see how the devices not gysrisan back, 99% will have no problem.!
I do not understand the stupidity of samsung, block the app of gear vr, for not to burn our face the device! This can happen when simply talking on phone. and this would be more serious.
I will not go back to the device, and will not succumb to blackmail. I have the device a month and works perfectly.
All this was a finger from its rivals, and I think we will learn perhaps after many years!

So I'm coming from my note 3 and now on my note 8 snote is gone... Why Samsung gets rid of awesome apps I'll never know... Does anyone know a app that works the same? Or is there a way to get snote on my note 8?
Playstore
S Note is on the playstore and Scrapbook is on the Samsung store. You'll need to download the extra features in settings on SNote to get all the functionality.

No, far from it. Many of the useful features are missing or crippled in Samsung Notes.
Sorry maybe it's not called snote... It was the app that looked like a sticky note and you could scroll through all your notes with the widget?
I'd like to mod the s pen to add the camera functions that the note 9 has, not sure where to begin though?

Ha yeah that'd be the easiest solution, are you saying that because you don't think it's do-able? I was thinking maybe even just trying to find the kernel in a note 9 to borrow from? Again I'm not sure .. ?
There's no bluetooth in our SPen, So there's hardware limitation to implement such thing.

Like mentioned above. It's a hardware limitation, not a software one. Our S-Pens don't have Bluetooth, so it can't be done. Even if they did, the next problem would be the system. You'd need to port the Note 9 camera with all its libraries and likely other things, also, to make the device recognise the Bluetooth signal it's getting from the pen and what it should do with it. So, even just taking a Note 9 S-Pen and using it on your Note 8 won't automatically give you those features. Quite simply, it's literally impossible, just like it's literally impossible for pigs to grow wings and fly.
