In all my searching I have never found anything positive about using the Gear VR with Root.
Some people have gotten lucky and have it work. Mostly using the stock modified Kernel but I can't be sure that this will work with my Model. G928F as it states that it is designed for other models.
Is anyone happily using their european Gear VR with root? If so what is your setup?
Thank you.

Hi,
I'm from the Netherlands, i also have the G928F.
With the modified kernel it works great!
So yes. i'm verry happy with the Gear VR.
Using Audax Rom with the Stock modified kernel.
t-mobile stock modified works fine.
Thank you everyone. I am sure you can understand my hesitation. with it being labelled T-Mobile. If anyone else has had good experiences with this or other kernels/ROMs please let us know. The more feedback the better.

I'm in UK with 928F and also running stock modified kernel with the vr. No worries here...works great.

hi. same for me here. i had same issues.
i found that for me Stock modiefied Kernel and Orgia rom works best. i have G928F. and everything works just fine, no worries about the kernel. it will work.
i also heard and read that skyhigh kernel is reported working. but it was not for me.
i know that you should stay as much stock as possible with rom an kernel from what i read.

I'm here, my friend. Just waiting to see what devs do with this tab. It's lower-end, but it's snappy and feels premium. I hope we can get some CM action on this bad boy. Depends on the popularity, but I think the price point should help a lot.

The only thing low end is the price this feels nicer than my transformer prime. Does have a small lag from time to time opening apps though.

Yea well it does have *slightly* better specs than the Prime, but the Prime was released in 2012. The price can't be beat, tho. I hope people flock to it.
I think part of the reason there's no one here is because you can't find this tablet anywhere but a few brick-and-mortar Best Buy stores right now. I can't find a single online retailer that lists it in their stock yet. Once it's widely available, this forum should fill up. For now, it's just you and me, I guess lol.

True that. Im looking foreard to rooting, and opening up dual window to all apps. How does yours run?
Just picked mine up from BestBuy. Rooted with Towelroot and Xposed. I have found that the G3 tweaks xposed module works, haven't tested all of it but ehat i have so far works.

Wow. Can you post a guide?
Sure thing.
Here is towel root https://towelroot.com
Download the app a day run it, will give you root. After that download supersu from the market and run it.
Download xposed from here http://repo.xposed.info
I think latest stable is 2.6.1.
After that you can download the g3 tweak from the market. The g3 and 10.1 are very similar rom wise, I've been able go use some of the theme tweaks (every one tried has worked, but can't guarantee all of it works since it's for the g3)
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
I grabbed a 7" and hoping this picks up. Also a separate forum if necessary
I can confirm that this works. I even picked up an app from the play store that allows you to add any app to the duel windows. Ive wanted that function ever since i got this device! I havnt played with the framwork too much but seems to work.
I guess the only thing missing is a custom recovery. Any insight on that anybody?
BTW, towel root was the easiest root ever. One click app. No hooking up to a computer.

I wonder if LG threw in an encrypted boot loader on the tabs. Also I couldn't find any information on this but does the G Pad 10.1 support USB OTG? I plan on picking one up within the week and hopefully get a custom recovery going soon after.

Flex multi window mod
I got one and i rooted it with towelroot with no problem. Even installed flex multi window app and works fine. The only problem is that it doesn't support NTFS usb sticks. I don't have any FAT32 right now to try but i'll search if it's possible to add NTFS support.
coming soon my 7.0 !!
Can someone please see if you can enable Chromecast's screen mirroring after rooting the 10.1 by using the Mirror Enabler app?
I greatly appreciate it.
I just got the gpad 7.0 from att with the G3 bundle for 99cents. Im trying to decide if I want to keep it or return. The screen quality isn't all that great. I also couldn't root it with towelroot as it says its not supported. I wish there were more activity in the forums for the g pads too.
Update: I was able to successfully root the G Pad 7.0 At&t version using purpledrake. LG-V410
I got my mom a like new g pad 7.0 off ebay for nice price but didn't realize it's the At&T version. We are just going to use it with Wi-Fi. That shouldn't be a problem right?
also, is there a way to stop the pad from asking for sim card besides turning on airplane mode? thank you
Finally proper root for the Note 5 (mine is T-mobile)

Does it trip KNOX?
I'm looking forward to Samsung Pay, which requires KNOX to operate.

Yes, it's legit. The directions are all in the dev section.
BTW, this is only for unlocked bootloaders. ATT and VZW just move along....nothing to see here.
You need to flash twrp and a custom kernel and then download supersu from the play store. Enjoy.
You can oem unlock(boatloader unlock) the T-Mobile version in dev settings and when turning it on it gives notice that protection features will not work when turned on. So guessing that yes it does disable Knox. Also guessing the OP rooted using a common root method and unlocking the boatloader

Now that we have root are a lot of you going to root it? If so, why? I usually root my phones to tweak them to get the best battery life and performance with custom kernels and roms and apps like greenify. But the phone performs great and the battery life is great after debloating. I guess we'll have to see what the developers come up with but I'm loving life so far without root for the first time in a long time.

i need wifi tether (though i didn't need to root my S6e to get it to work). but some apps i want to use require root (fonts apps, emoji switcher, titanium, etc.). also, i want to uninstall some factory apps i don't use which just bugs me. hopefully a root will come soon for the Note 5 Duos that won't trip KNOX.

Tried it but couldn't get it to work for some reason. Which version do you have: 910c or 910f? This one should work with the package from post 4. Please report back if you have any luck getting it to work.
Noticed that you have the snapdragon version so my suggestions won't apply to you.

i have a 910w8 which is the same as the 910t. That rom wont work on my phone.
is there such a rom? i keep searching the forums but found nothing regarding the new gear vr...
None of the N5 ports supports Gear VR.
Why u want the new headset? The original innovator edition is still the best one. The new official release is lighter yes but has a white inlay so light reflects on it while wearing it and really takes the immersion away.

I have been using King and Renovate for the last 2 weeks on my G930F and both are good. At the moment though I am preferring the King Rom and haven't encountered any bugs on it yet.

Have u tried the superman rom?? And is king rom fast and battery good??
I didn't try the Superman Rom but i'm sure its pretty good.
With Renovate I liked the frequency of updates coupled with being able to use SVN for updates, with King it had a feature that I was looking for direct on the Rom with a traffic meter. With regards to battery life both so far were pretty good, going on feel (no science) it feels like King is zippier with a slightly with less battery life compared to Renovate but both have been good to me on that front. This is just from my personal experience and will of course differ on other phone/setups/background apps etc.

Yes they are working well on the G930F, the edge roms that I have used tend to have an option in aroma for an edge or flat (G930F) install. I am still happily on the king 4.2 rom on my G930F.

Yep, confirmed working on Verizon S8+. Good find. I just read the specs somewhere that it didn't have FM and forgot about it. NICE.
Can someone share the apk? thanks
There is no APK for it you just download an app that can access the radio. Next Radio is one, and I believe there's a few others, but Next is the more "known" one.
No fm radio is canada
FM on Sprint S8 already installed
Cool, saw the thread and checked phone to install app. Already installed !! Plugged in my headphones and listening to PBS in minutes.
Thanks for the FYI! I don't know why it would be deactivated in certain regions. Is it consumer demand or studies like the weird G6 feature fragmentation?
thanks for the info mate
i dont understand that the international S8+ Exynos cant do this, what is the difference in this case
the fm radio is built in to the chip... so snapdragon vs exynos
