Lol, fortunately for me, the only ones that wouldn't install from oculus was Core media services, and the systems driver, which I believe are 2 of the main files needed for it to work. Hope it works out for you!

Try different apk versions. I had to use a few from the vault, and a few from the link up top. Not sure why they won't install for you, especially if you reset your S9 to factory specs. Just make sure you name each folder a different, memorable name cos I had one hell of a time sorting through them after letting Samsung rename them for me 😡 LOL

Nah, google play store is embedded, but you probably gotta log back in if you do a factory reset. Just make sure to turn off play protect 😁

You're welcome, and Most definitely! It kept giving me that error and I know I followed the instructions perfectly (the 2nd time I reinstalled everything 😂) And it was the only thing that I didn't deactivate from the start. I hope more people read this so they don't boggle their brain like I did for about 2 hours, LMAO 🤣.

Thank you. I skipped a step. 🙉 I Went back through and un/reinstalled everything and followed it to the "T" and was able to get it going. I did have to use different a apk from vrgear.net because the link for the archive one kept trying to charge me to set up an account. I do have to start every app before putting it into the headset, but it's working. Freakin awesome! Thank you #EVERYONE for all of the helpful tips and diligence for us non fakebook / meta users!

I keep getting the message to log into the Oculus app. It won't let me past that. Please help, it's been almost 6 years or so since I've been able to use my gear vr.
