I was bummed to discover that the Samsung Gear VR headset only works with variations of the S7, of the S6 and the Note 5. I'm hoping to find some sort of hack, maybe how the phone is identified or a change in settings, that would enable my rooted S5 to work with the Gear VR. I've looked around pretty good and not found anything but I'm hoping such an adjustment exists and I just missed it.
Interested too!
sadly no
Samsung vr is only compatible with certain devices because those devices have certain hardware that the s5 doesn't have. if you can possibly get the vr on the s5, there is no guarantee that it will work at all because of the hardware

I've purchased a DivineViewer VR Headset and I expect it to arrive tomorrow. I returned a Gear VR 2015 because I was hesitant to cut it so that my Note 4 would fit. I even considered upgrading to a Note 5 but decided to wait.
Can someone point me to generic VR Head Mounted Device information/resources? I'm reading as much as I can to understand the proprietary and common aspects of the different platforms/devices.
Thanks!
Hi, I just installed AryaMOD on my Note 3 N9005.
I was wondering if I could get the Samsung Gear VR and use it with my phone since the device would detect it as an S7.
I think the biggest problem is the USB 3.0 Port
I've tried Phoenix and absolutely loved it, but one of the huge issues is that NFC constantly tried to enable but never could, thus draining battery. I was wondering if there's a decent S7 Edge port that would work well on my Sprint S5 and have NFC usable. Thanks!
I guess nothing exists then? I've looked all over and haven't been able to find anything.
I'm not really sure where to post this issue.
I tried posting it on the ARtoolkit forums but there were no replies to it.
So I'm developing a simple augmented reality game using ARtoolkit. And it works on almost all android phones but on some S7 and S7 edge phones it gives a very weird result.
Here is the sample scene (slightly modified) from ARtoolkit (

I've been trying to find the cause of this issue and haven't had much luck. It works normally on LG G4, Samsung S5, Samsung S6, Samsung Note, xiomi V.
And the weird thing is that it works on some S7's. It works on the SM-G930F but it doesnt work on the SM-G930T.
It works on the S7 edge SM-G935P but doesn't work on the SM-G935F.
I thought maybe it was the processor but both the 935P and 935F have the snapdragon.
Anybody know what could cause this?
Good morning,
I sold my Note7 as really... I would give to the Nexus7 the time it needs and I have any accessories from the Samsung's one... I was very impressed by the quality of the Gear VR and I am wondering as the Nexus fits the size if there is any method to set it up.
Of course if I plug-in nothing happens...
