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.

I just got my GWR yesterday and I can't install any watch faces from the google play store nor will it update (came out of the box with 4.4). I had a Gear Live (Samsung's Android Wear watch) that received the OTA 5.1.1 update and I was able to install watch faces. I tested the GWR on 3 different devices and factory resetted it at least 10 times. Same problem each time. All the notification functions work perfectly. I'm able to install Web Browser and Wear Mini Launcher.
I noticed the Android Wear app was updated on August 18. Did Google remove functionality? After I download watch faces from the Google Play store, I don't see an option to change the watch face in the Android Wear app. Are others having the same problem? I attached a screen shot.

You have the same problem as a couple of users in this thread on xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/help/how-to-update-lg-g-watch-r-t3177653 and this thread ( https://productforums.google.com/fo...er#!msg/android-wear/lCEQwWynNZo/xqsgS_VGAgAJ ) on the Google Product Support forum, myself included (although I am running 4.4W.2).
You currently have 2 choices. Either follow the first thread and update the watch manually or you can wait for a little while longer. I would wait (and will) because I believe the reason why we are still on 4.4 is because LG "closed the doors" for OTA updates and will open it with the latest update that was announced today - http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-g-watch-r-will-gain-wi-fi-functionality-thanks-android-wear-update .
I bought at&t note 5 and gear VR, I am not able to find any app in Oculus store. How can I view downloaded VR video?
Edit: tried and installed cinema app apk, was still not able to use it. The app does not shows app tab but I was able to install milk Vr from within the app and then watched some videos.
I beleive it is now called Oculus Video.
hey
Whats up brother I have a note 5 to and had the same issue. To use the cinema download the 0.5.0 version of mobile sdk here at https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/ . Then just extract it and drag cinema.apk into your root and install it. That should work if not already you should find package disabler pro.apk and install that on your phone its a big help and crucial. You cant launch cinema thru the oculushome software it wil be a regular app on your phone it should just prompt you to insert you phone and go!

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.
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.

So is anyone looking into a way to port the Oculus app for Gear VR to the Note 10?
It's got to be possible right? ...something one of you XDA wizards can extract to an apk?
I can get the Gear VR to work on my S10 using the GearVR app, but I can't load or run any apps. They all say that Oculus GO needs to be installed, but I haven't found a way to install it. All the basic funtions work, just no apps. If you have an older GearVR, there is an adapter available (at least there was) from Samsung to allow the S10 to fit.
Even if the Note 10 does fit into the GearVR. You won't be able to use it as it is not support for use with the Oculus software.

That is strange as from what I have read you should be able to use the SGS10 with the GearVR. As it is supported for use with the Gear VR. I guess if you have a older model of the GearVR that may not function with it. However if you have a more recent edition it should work just fine.
I got the Gear VR on a deal when I purchased the S10, so it is a newer version. Again, everything works except apps which give a warning that they will not work without Oculus Go.
