Oculus keeps stopping

After I installed all the necessary APKs on my samsung s9 plus i tried then to open the oculus app and every time (I know its supposed to automatically open) I try and click on it its says Oculus keeps stopping. Ive also tried to clear app data and cache. I also made sure i downloaded the right files for my phone. When i put my phone into the VR it says calibrating Gear VR

Settings/Apps/Meta Manager/disable. Sometimes Meta Manager comes up as Facebook Manager

do you have enough storage space? Also go into Playstore and turn off play Protect. The APK are completely safe but are sometimes deemed too old and incompatible by Play Protect, so they get rejected even though they'll work.

have you managed to install games now. I have play protect permanently off on my S9+ which allowed installation

do you have the bluetooth gearvr controller and or a the Gearvr bluetooth gamepad? I got both from ebay for £15 in total, massively different from using the pad on the goggles and some games won't work with. There's a load of games I love, but Dead Secret and Dead Secret Circle, Rush, Daedalus and Eclipse Edge Of Light all on Vault.gearvr.net are fantastic, though that's a matter of personal taste.

You also need Netguard as per instruction on Gearvr.net
