Hi, I get the following error message when trying to install aything from Oculus Store
I am using G935F, Stock UK ROM, Un Rooted
Can anybody help. Thanks
Did you disable any Facebook apps starting with com.facebook.etc.? I believe these are needed for VR stuff, Oculus belongs to Facebook. There should be 2 of them.

Yap that fixed it, Thanks so much.
I just received my oculus. I have the GS7 edge. When I connect my phone to the oculus for initial setup, then remove it as instructed, I get a network error. I've taken both to AT&T and have spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with various people. No one could help. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello!
After the most recent Gear VR update, we noticed that you may be having issues upgrading to the latest version of the Oculus software. This also may affect your ability to download and install content for your Gear VR. This may be due to having some critical Oculus services blocked or disabled. Below are some steps to help enable those services to allow this update and future updates to reach your Samsung device for Gear VR usage.
If you continue to have problems after following the instructions below, please reach out to Oculus Support via https://support.oculus.com and we will work with you to resolve your issue.
Why aren't Gear VR apps installing or updating on my mobile phone?
If Gear VR apps aren't installing on your mobile phone, the most likely reason is that the App Manager and Installer aren't enabled.
What does the App Manager and Installer do?
The App Manager and Installer allow Gear VR apps to be installed on your mobile phone. It also makes sure that the latest versions of Oculus apps are on your mobile phone.
How do I turn on App Manager and Installer ?
To turn on the App Manager and Installer, tap on the "Settings" application, then "Applications" and finally "Application Manager". Make sure you have chosen the "All" category and find the following applications:
com.facebook.appmanager (App Manager)
com.facebook.system (Installer)
Tap into each and make sure they are enabled.
Unable to find com.facebook.system
If you are on Android OS 6.0 (Marshmallow), com.facebook.system may not be visible. Please try the following steps:
1. Navigate to Settings
2. Tap on Application Manager
3. Locate the More menu in the upper right corner
4. Tap Show System Apps
5. This will make com.facebook.system visible and allow you to enable it
The App Manager and the Installer must be enabled before Gear VR apps can be installed and updated on your mobile phone.

This worked great.... Does having the Facebook stuff enabled waste any battery? And can I disable again after installing? Been trying to figure out why nothing would install for days
Thanks

You nailed it. I had a notification that said com.facebook needs to install. Once I completed the install i could install groove and other apps from the Oculus app store.

This fixed my issue, thank you!
Hi,
Currently working with the Samsung Gear VR on a S6 Edge. Recently, I factory reset my phone due to lack of storage space. When I went to reinstall Oculus everything went through fine but when I try to install apps from the Oculus store it goes through the download process, then when it begins installation it stops and says, "Could not install (app name)." Facebook app manager and Facebook app installer are both enabled and I still get the error. Please help, can't seem to find a solution.
Have you found a solution? We have exactly the same issue with the same equipment.
Guys, Here is the solution, may be the only solution in the internet for this issue.
My device is Samsung S6 edge and Device is Gear VR and Hopefully the solution applies to all the devices with the same issue.
1. Need to install Facebook app and sign in
2. Login to oculus using facebook account
Important part is, it seems some of the service doesn't have the storage permission, what I did was allow storage permission to all the "Oculus" Applications and "Facebook" application which are in direct apps as well as systems apps.
Works fine for me !! Thank you
I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
When i got my axon 7 the thing who miss the more for me was Daydream Night Clock , in this thread someone give a solution ( link not allowed i'm new on xda see on bottom of thread) and it worked when i was on 6.0.1.
I have reseted my device after upgrading to 7.1.1 and now the tutorial seem to not work anymore, someone have a solution ? I have tried many 3rd party app and no one make the job like google's one.
ZTE why have you removed this fonction... and do not disturb tile....
1. Install the google clock app.
2. Disable the stock clock app using the stock theme
3. Install Nova Launcher or other app that lets you create activities(shortcuts to access the hidden android modules).
4. Create a shortcut too : settings.settings$DreamSettingsActivity
5. Use your new shortcut to enable the day dream setting on charge/dock.
6. Done.
Anyone know how to enable it ?
I updated my S8 to Oreo and I love it, however apps like Advance Download Manager or Amazon when trying to install apps it request that I allow install from unknown sources, it prompts the toggle but it's grey and will not let me switch it on.
Any way to force allow this? There is no longer an option to allow unknown installs in settings.
I have the same problem only a few apps show as accessible. But the ones I want to change are greyed out. Any resolution?
Go to Settings-Apps- click on the 3 dots menu-> special access-> Install unknown apps. Guess this should work
Hello,
i just found this strange apps in storage permissions ! , i only use known apps from play store , and i can't find any of this in my apps , my phone is not rooted
does any one has similar entries in Storage permissions (Settings > Apps > "App Permissions from the menu in the corner"> Storage)?
check the attached image
ok , i spent my day figuring out
somehow its related to samsung themes , if any one got this issue just switch to the default theme
Yes thats the theme. It appears after oreo.
Not much of issue to me.
