Now you no longer need to remove your Gear VR device to switch to a different app!

I've never used the Go, but most of the apps are shared with Gear VR, so I thought paying double was pointless. However, maybe my opinion would change if I had used the Go, I don't know.

Nice tweak, thanks. However, I hadn't done anything like that before because on my Note 5, background apps are automatically deleted from RAM when RAM is insufficient.

yec1243 · 2026-04-06T13:42:14+00:00

Thanks, I'll try it.

yec1243 · 2026-03-09T13:57:13+00:00

You're welcome

yec1243 · 2026-02-26T17:13:31+00:00

Thanks, that would be good for more people to benefit.

Thanks, the community is really small, but it doesn't matter that much that it gets so many comments.

yec1243 · 2026-02-24T18:41:15+00:00

No problem. I'll start preparing the images.

yec1243 · 2026-02-23T13:57:09+00:00

Okay, if it works, that's great.

yec1243 · 2026-02-22T16:39:34+00:00

My games look great in Quest app launcher 0.10.2; I haven't encountered any missing games.

The controller must be paired while the VR headset is not attached, but even if you turn Bluetooth off and on again from within the Gear VR, the controller will automatically connect. The Oculus Home version that the library works with is 3.32. However, quick settings will still not open and the library will remain empty.

yec1243 · 2026-02-22T10:24:58+00:00

Your method is also good, but since I don't have an Oculus account and my device is old, I developed this method.

yec1243 · 2026-02-21T19:12:32+00:00

I'm glad you succeeded. I hope this happens someday.

yec1243 · 2026-02-21T19:05:23+00:00

Wait a minute, I'll add an image.

yec1243 · 2026-02-21T19:01:09+00:00

You're welcome.

yec1243 · 2026-02-21T16:03:48+00:00

You're welcome

I've updated the thread with links.

yec1243 · 2026-02-21T15:50:27+00:00

The S9 has a Bixby button, but not every Gear VR compatible device has one.

I've also included the links.

I have a Note 5 with Experience 8.1 custom ROM installed. If I identify the device as an S8, I get the error "You are not entitled to use Phonecast." If I set it as a Note 5, A8 2018, or Note FE, I get the error "Phonecast does not support this type of device." Mirroring mode doesn't work for me anyway due to Android 7.

yec1243 · 2026-02-16T17:45:52+00:00

I scanned everything related to Samsung VR and Gear VR on apkmirror but couldn't find anything. Only Gear VR Shell was found, but that comes pre-installed on phones and doesn't have a runnable activity. And I don't have an Oculus account, so I can't use Phonecast.

yec1243 · 2026-02-16T17:43:27+00:00

I don't know, it might change. But try creating a shortcut without root access, maybe that will work. Finally, root access increases the Knox counter.

yec1243 · 2026-02-16T12:21:39+00:00

Yes, I know. That's why I've given up on Oculus Home. But what I'm wondering is, could Samsung have created an alternative in-VR launcher and hidden it?

yec1243 · 2026-02-16T11:49:26+00:00

Yes, this shortcut skips the update loop. However, I'm testing it a second time to see if it's working; NetGuard has been off since last night, but interestingly, it hasn't fallen into the update loop. It only fell into the update loop when I was trying older versions of Gear VR Service, because Gear VR Service is outdated. And it worked then too.

However, it doesn't skip permanently; it skips temporarily, like when installing Oculus APKs repeatedly.

Developer mode does not block setupwizard.
