Can we use outside VR apps from Google play or do they have to be from Oculus?

You can temporarily disable the Gear VR apps. That's what I did to mess around with Cardboard.

Only apps show up on the play store. If I go to one of the play apps and click the play icon, it redirects me to the browser and tells me its not available in my country!! I have dozens of songs and couple of adventure time episodes purchased and it says this? The only solution I have is to go to my phone with my mobile network and it let's purchase stuff, then I sync. It works but you know.. Thanks!

yup I am looking for one as well but no luck
I also can't seem to find anything on getting flash working.
Is it the same procedure as on the nexus 7?

Is this the standard, "Use Flash + web browser" way?
The actual Amazon Video app would be sweet. I've been digging through old threads going back to the original Fire trying to get this going on my N7 this weekend. Video quality aside, it would be nice to get everything going so you can download videos to device. For, hypothetically, loading "A Charlie Brown Christmas" or somesuch for the flight home next week.
Anyhow, so far I understand this may be a pipe dream. But if anyone has any more recent tips on Amazon Video + Nexus, please hit me up. So far the farthest I can get is registering my N7 as a device (shows up in Amazon even), seeing my account and videos, but then FC upon clicking on any vids.
One more try, then... *starts digging through newest KFHD dump*

New Amazon Instant Video App
Today Amazon Instant Video arrived to the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, it is only compatible with Google TV. Considering it can run on those, which are essentially android, why not try to find a way to get it to run on our phones and tablets. Considering the screen-shots they have on the Play link, it could be used on our devices. There has to be a way, maybe by editing the build.prop, to get Google Play to think that your phone or tablet is actually a Google TV. I tried a few things but could not manage to get it to work, but I'm sure someone with more experience could figure this one out.
Update: I recently saw that there is a Google Play version for Google TV on the Play Store so maybe that could help if we could get that running on a device.

We have a thread going over on the Kindle HD forum, and I've been trying to get this download by using a build.prop change. From what I can find online its only compatible with new LG TVs, the 47G2 and 55G2. And from a youtube review of one of these TVs the device name was "LG Google TV" so I tried a build.prop with manufacturer "lge" (since thats what they use on other devices IIRC) and device name "LG Google TV". Yet it still showed as incompatible.
If we could just get a copy of this apk, maybe it will work. Still don't know why Amazon can't release a native Android app. The apk from the OG Kindle Fire works on GB but FCs on ICS and JB. The apk from the 2nd gen Kindle Fire HD FCs on everything.
FWIW here is teh list of compatible devices.

"compatible" how? browser + flash, or the video app?
I'm trying this method with MarketHelper, along with RootCloak module when needed ... in order to use an amazon app, not a browser.

Has STILL no one been able to get this apk?? That just seems so incredible.
I have a gear s2 (cellular), and everything seems to be working fine, except that since I dont have a Samsung device, I can't get milk music onto the watch, because it won't install to phone.
Anyone know of a workaround? Thanks!
Did you try sideloading milk music app?

The watch it awesome, I'm loving it. Tried already, but can't download the watch app in the "gear apps" store, and I can't find the wgt file anywhere.
It's definitely a huge upgrade from the gear s. Aside from messages from phone not syncing to watch, and milk music not being available, its pretty much full functionality
I've had this phone since Sunday. Bought at an EE store in the UK. I'm loving it. However....
1) It has crashed twice while receiving calls...just keeps ringing and phone frozen...not too worried about that...yet.
2) Twice it's booted up with the screen not taking any input whatsoever....again...not worried as a hard reboot sorts that.
The 2 above are just minor inconveniences...doesn't actually stop me from doing anything....I've taken enough calls to know...that crashing when receiving a call is going to be rare enough not to drive me mad.
The real problem I have, is that google Play movies and TV will not settle down and play without stuttering between 5 and 15fps. It's only google play movies and TV doing this. I can play back all content on the device fine with no problems.
It doesn't matter if I stream or download the content on google movies and tv - it will stutter.
Tried re-installing...tried clearing app data + cache...it will not sort itself out.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Note to mods : My apologies...I should have posted this to Q&A.

Hi! Thanks. Just one bit of info that would be useful to me. Do you have this phone? Is your google movies playing back OK? If you have the phone, but you don't have any content on google play, would you do me a really good favour and download one of the free TV shows? Especially if you happen to be on EE!
Cheers!
Yeah I've got the phone, unlocked from cpw so no EE stuff and I've got no issues on the minion movie

Yes. I've worked out that it works WITHOUT storage encryption. The moment the phone is encrypted, the stuttering comes back.
Google won't fix it, saying that it's a performance issue. Sony have told me that they've booked it in as a bug, but I can't expect any fix anytime soon.
The problem I have is that Hulu crashes on me. All other video apps have no trouble.

Ok I just tried it. I couldn't get to open a Violet account, and I had to skip it. When I purchased a video it was fine(free one), and then tried to play it. It'll hang no matter which resolution I chose. Same thing happens to Hulu. Netflix, Vicki, Drama Fever, Crunchyroll, Google Play Movies, and Funimation works fine for me.

Seems it's a problem on all Z5 Premium phones. I really like Vudu because the streaming is basically blu-ray quality.

Hi, are you on MM yet? Have you tried Hulu & Vudu? Seems the Z5P isn't ooo friendly.
I sold my Z5P. I wasn't happy in the end with their support over movies I had purchased and couldn't even get them on my phone. 3 months later and still couldn't get them. I gave in and walked away.

I followed the step online.
copied video to Sd card\Movies folder
But i still cannot see it!
Can anyone help me?
TIA
I used \occulus\Movie and that worked
I can't get movies to appear on the SD card either although it works fine using device storage.
There's a thread on the S7 Questions forum suggesting this is because the S7/Edge is using software from the S6 which of course doesn't have external storage. If so hopefully this will be fixed soon.

you mean you can see your own video now ?
I put it in my internal memory /oculus/movies them I could find it in oculus videos
For your own (downloaded) movies to work you need to create the right folder structure. I believe it is:
Oculus\movies\my videos\ (for standard movies)
Oculus\movies\my videos\3d\ (for 3d movies)
