I got a question, I got a google cardboard it works really well with the native apps that you can find in play store, but since the s6 edge have the gear vr with more cool stuff, Im wondering if theres any way to download the oculus app and use it in the google cardboard, i have a bluetooth controller so the navigation will be no problem, but downloading the oculus home and make it run without the gear vr is the challenge, did someone can solve this?
Unfortunately you have to have the gear vr to open all the cool oculus apps. There is a gear vr forum. No one is doing any custom development from what I've seen.

Does anyone know where I can get a S Health apk for my Galaxy Tab 4 8"?
I have a gear fit and want to monitor everything on my tablet but Samsung doesn't support the Tab 4 with this app for some stupid reason.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.
I just made one that should install like a normal app try it and tell me if it works

Excellent man. Thanks so much. The app installs flawlessly.
Now I just have to figure out why S Health doesn't recognize the Gear Fit watch. They make a watch for fitness but don't make it compatible with their fitness software. I love Samsung hardware, but their software guys are absolute morons.

Have you had any luck getting the Gear Fit sync'ed with S Health on your Tab 4? I have a Tab 4.7.0 and a Gear Fit & I am desperately wanting to get the two working together. Does the Gear Fit Manager version matter at all?
I couldn't agree with you more about Samsung hardware and software. Sloppy software integration for their otherwise solid hardware.
I'll try the apk on my Tab 4.7.0 and reply with results later.
Thanks..

Following up on installing S Health on my Galaxy Tab 4..7.0
The apk installed without any issue, but could not detect the Gear Fit. This version of S Health was pre Gear Fit (2.5.4.046) so I'm not sure it would be compatible with the Gear Fit to begin with. I'll try others.
On a side note, I can verify that versions 1.70 and 1.98 of the Gear Fit Manager successfully worked with the Galaxy Tab 4.7.0
I also was able to successfully install the Fitness with Gear app, but the app would not sync with the Gear Fit.
I'll keep on this. If anyone has any updates, please post.
Thanks
Gear Fit Working with Galaxy Tab 4.7.0!
Wonderful News to report!
I have successfully installed S Health on my Galaxy Tab 4.7.0 (not rooted) and it has successfully sync'ed with my Gear Fit! I did encounter a couple of crashes with the app, but so far, all seems to be working.
I'm very excited to finally see the S Health app running on my Tab and working with the Gear Fit.
I have some notes on the process I followed and apk files I installed. I will share here after I get some sleep. I hope this gives some hope to others who are looking to connect their Gear Fit to a non smartphone device.
Cheers!

I don't have my notes with me, but if my memory is correct, I believe I installed the Gear with Fitness app from Aptoide on my Galaxy Tab. The Gear with Fitness app will not sync with the Gear Fit. From within the Gear with Fitness app, I selected the 'Check for updates' option which then ran and updated Gear with Fitness to S Health (version 3.5.1.0696).
I restarted the tablet and the Gear Fit. The Gear Fit paired with the Tablet right away. I then opened the S Health app, and selected the Gear Fit from the Accessories list. It auto-sync'ed with no problem.
It's important to note that the S Health app crashed when I updated my personal profile with my height, weight and gender settings. But the changes did save when I re-opened the app. It continues to sync, automatically and manually with no crashes since.
Perhaps, if the update process does not work for you, can can run the S Health install directly instead of upgrade from Fitness with Gear:

Here's the Fitness with Gear download also:

Let me know if you have success with it.

Very easy,
You can use your Virtual Reality headset with Cardboard apps without launching the default Gear VR package by temporary disable "Samsung Gear VR services" and enable it when you want to use Gear VR
Try to use this app, it work WITHOUT ROOT

Has anyone been able to sideload developer VR games? There is a sideloadvr app in playstore but not for Galaxy s7. Tried using it, was able to use signature function and download and install the apps. But when you put the phone in the VR it goes straight into oculus store and apps don't show up in oculus store. Anyone who has been able to use the sideload developer apps on VR, if you could please let me know how you did it.

sideload vr is working here. after you install a game launch the game and you will be prompted to attach the vr headset. i think your problem is that you are attaching the vr headset first before launching the game.

Try this app.
A friend shared it with me.
Works fine. No root.
Just tap on the cardboard when you dont want Oculus to load.

That was my issue was attaching the phone, then was unable to launch any game other then from official store. Never thought of launching game then attaching phone, why idk. But thanks , got it now .
I was wondering if this was possible. I just need to run an app on VR mode. That is my main requirement, to use PS4 remote play by twisted89 on VR mode to enjoy PS4 games on VR. So if a specific app cannot be turned into vr mode why not the whole device screen? Is that also not possible? I already found an app called Trinus VR, but it requires a PC, so I want this to work only with the mobile itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated

that i think is impossible. since trinus was made for pc mirroring. sorry
I think what his trying to say is and correct me if I'm wrong but, he wants an app that turns any other app into a split-view vr style outcome even if pseudo, which in turn he then wants to run (after activating the previous app that turns stuff into vr mode) the remote play app to play his ps4 games in pseudo vr mode.
I think if an app like this was developed it would need root access to allow cross app vr displayed split-view, as i think it will make the whole display split-view which in turn will make all apps "vr". Not sure if there will be stutter problems on the default launcher but that's easily overcomeable using a vr launcher i assume or just coding it to be disabled on popular launchers.
I know for a fact that the Lenovo K5 does this with stock rom, so... it's possible. Maybe you can buy one?

Exactly what I meant and you just read my mind man, I am trying to play PS4 in VR via the remote play. The best option I came up with so far was Trinus VR, but I want to do this by my phone alone with the remote play app by twisted89.
And yeah, yeah, what all this guy said was what I meant, I need an app to turn on entire mobile screen into VR mode or just the one app I need, thank-you guys :laugh:
Reply please

Search for the SBS apk
It is not possible to turn the screen into SBS mode (side by side). Only thing that exists is native SBS that works on versions 4.4.2 and bellow or some versions of Cm13 with Android 6.0.1.
It will not work on any stock Rom.
I have looked everywhere. Tried everything.
There are apps that can play vr videos and allow sbs web browsing on non vr/cardboard compatible phones.
For videos: VRTV VR is pretty good.
For web browsing: NoMone VR
For anything else, Trinus via pc would be the only option.
Install an emulator on your pc. Install Android on it. Then the apk you want. Mirror your pc to your Android phone. Use VR
A difficult issue, though. As far as I found, those are the basic requirements for playing VR stuff:
2GB + Ram
1080p to 2K Screen resolution
1.4GHz+ CPU speed
Gyroscope (in some cases - not)
At least 4.7 inch display
16M+ colors
Those are basic requirements to play some basic apps. In order to have better FPS performance you will need some more advanced hardware.
Also, if you are interested in VR software development - check my article about best VR/AR SDK which you will need to create apps.
P.S. Found this answer on Quora
Any change?
I used to have a Lenovo ph, and never realized how fortunate I was to have instant vr at the click of a button. For the whole system.! Now I am stuck trying to use cardboard crap app which does a tenth of what I want..
Even just streaming on a browser I'm finding difficult.
I want full screen split no movement. Or anything like a standard split screen on device.
Anyone had any luck?

search for vr apps on playstore, you'll find many, try Google cardboard app once.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that. Yes those apps have a vr button when launched, and it works. But after that, when I visit those sites I am interested in, the button still does not show up.
Hello. Can anybody give me a weather widget that looks just like tab S2 weather widget.
Hi to all,
I have a funny problem with a new Hisense A2.
The Hisense A2 is a new dual screen phone which I wanted to replace my yotaphone 2. Both phones have a e-ink display on the front/backside and an additional normal display. The apps from the normal display can be switched to the e-ink display. It works with google maps, browsers, and also youtube (looking, well not so good).
With the Yota it is no problem to use google cardboard oder chinese vr glasses. With the Hisense, the problem is, that the video feed is switched to the e-ink cover, where it does not work, even if the split screen line and the gear symbol is on the lcd side.
This happens with google cardboard apps, which is sad.
InstaVR Apps, like tokyo VR for cardboard or AAA VR Cinema Cardboard work.
I thought, all those cardboard apps would use the same output environment. Is there a tool with wich you can check wich VR modes (Cardboard, GearVR, ??) are working?
Thanks to you. If the post has landed in the wrong forum, please forward it.
Jens
Possibly a question with many answers.
I suffer from "VR sickness" whenever I go on the PS4 VR headset.
I didn't know it was a thing before I experienced it, it's like a feeling of dissociation and anxiety caused by the body not feeling what you brain thinks it's doing.
My question: would this happen with Google cardboard? Anyone with experience in this would be beneficial.
