Can't we just flash the gear vr apps from 6.0.1?

I am not an advances user. I really hope anyone can give us a solution!

The Nougat beta doesn't support Gear VR.

I could give it a try if anybody has backuped the gear vr apps from Android 6.0.1

Apks Oculus 6.0.1
Hi.
Here the backup of the Oculus Apps /Gear VR Apps on Android 6.0.1.
Mega 177 MB

Has anybody a solution for gear vr?
Probably it's enough to trick the Gear VR SetupWizard with the backup data from Marshmellow.
Has anybody a backup from the gear vr apps?

Samsung already stated clearly that the Gear VR will not work with Nougat Beta.

Where did they state that? I'm sure i read all the beta requirements in the app FAQ but didn't read anything about GearVR.
Now i'm not sure I should update ...

go to Samsung Member app then click on Beta notices, FYI this is T Mobile build.

Beta notice, no VR yet.

Thanks, I hadn't downloaded the beta so didn't get the message. The FAQ didn't mention it.
Now I don't know if I should install it :crying: It may be months before I can use the GearVR if I do :crying:

on mine the app fires up and when the phone is put in the oculus it tries to start up ....says there is a network error

like the beta notices stated the Beta build cannot connect to Geat VR.

Yeah I know....just stubborn and wanted to see why

Hi, I installed the daydream apks and the vr service. Unfortunately the Google apps are checking for a compatible device but as you can see it would work (background is actually moving correctly).

Would you like to try side loading it? I used to use this method for my Tab S - back when the Tab S was not listed as compatible, I was still able to side load and get the Game Tuner app working that way.
Pulled from my Note 4 using Rom Toolbox.

5.0 update with nougat incoming

Looks like they are starting the rollout of nougat and the 5.0 shield software.

Edit: I believe this also applies to the k1 as well.
K1 also has the release notes online.
I hope we get something I can flash via TWRP real fast^^

NOUGAT IN POLAND!!! DOWNLOADING RIGHT NOW, SO EXCITED!!!
I ve root..can i update normally or i have to download the zip and flash via custom recovery?
Working pretty well, seems to be a little bit faster than MM
Feels snappier now. It also supports the "fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0" command now too, so its the perfect replacement for specialized Nexus 7 installs.
So uh... if I have root, what do I do to get it to nougat rooted?
The stability/cuts with WiFi is better in this new ota?
Flash with full version ota with FlashFire it'll inject root and keep the TWRP recovery all in one shot.
Any idea for release date on LTE no-US model ? (RoW)
I didn't have the update
I tried FlashFire it got me stuck in a boot loop
Got the update notification as well! Downloading it right now!
Full for wi-fi k1 5.0

the thing that's keeping me from updating is xposed support. Also did anyone keep their root after upgrading?

I'm using a slightly modded and xposed mod for my USC 6Edge+ (r4). Anyway, I got a gear VR, but it will not work. Initially, I just tried sideloading the oculous store then I realized I was probably missing more than I initially expected.
I did some research and there are APK for:
Gear VR Service
Gear VR Setup Wizard
Gear VR Setup Wizard Stub
Grear VR Shell
I managed to find the first two but the second two are nowhere to be found. Im not even sure if they are phone dependent. As I said, I use Galaxy S6 edge 64GB (US Cellular) Phones - SM-G925R
Is it possible for anyone to pull these APKS to see if I can get this thing to work?
Thanks for your help!

IT's just new to me, I've no idea how to take care of this. My best guess for immediate results is to downgrade but if there were a more skilled person to come along I;m sure they could pull them no problem.

so i know how to extract but i'm now on nougat and i dont know to downgrade because its impossible because samsung did something that you cant downgrade (modem, bootloader etc...) sry for my english^^ i hope you understand what i mean
i tried it to install all the files (gear vr setup etc.) but i got network error.. i think we must edit the build.prop
edit: so i installed oculus home and the other stuff.. i read other threads.. i know the problem... its the problem with Csc files.. for android nougat isnt available..

Never received any OTA FW updates. Please help.

I've been out of the loop for a while, so I'm hoping to get some help.
I bought an AT&T S7 edge when they came out and with all the new nougat talk recently, I was wondering when I'd get the update.
I then realized there has been like 10 updates from AT&T and I never received any of them OTA. So I'm still on OG firmware.
Every time I search for the update in settings it says "Current software is up to date."
Can I install the new update manually? Or do I have to install each of the updates in order somehow?
The only thing I ever did to my phone when I received it was merge the internal memory with sd card so it all is one block ( I forget what the technical term was). Could that have made me miss getting the OTA updates for some reason?
I never rooted this S7 edge.
Thanks.

I have to remember how to do all of this again. It's been a while.

I'm from the UK with an S8+ Snapdragon version. The app is Samsung + (Beta). When I tried to download the app, the message came:
This item is not available in your country.
Close, but no cigar for me.
I'll wait until I can download a beta from the Samsung Members app:fingers-crossed:, or get too frustrated to wait any longer.:crying:
I have been trying for like 10 days now to get the "One UI beta program" banner appear, with now f** luck.
Long story short. My device is the US unlocked (G955U1, bought in BestBuy).
I am not american, nor I leave in the USA.
I have setup my google account and samsung account to seem like USA (with vpn to change my play store into USA and samsung account location, using friend's real ZIP etc).
I can see the Samsung+ in my play store and can become beta tester.
I have register my device's IMEI into samsung account.
I have installed the latest Samsung+ app (11.5.0)
The f** banner to register to the beta is nowhere!!
Beta registration were not available for all countries. If you want beta, see this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/s8-exynos-pie-oneui-beta-official-t3890376

Why you direct me to a forum about the Exynos variant ??
I clearly said I have the unlocked USA version (Snapdragon G955U1).
I also said that I used vpn and gps spoofer to seem like being in the USA...
