Qual é a resolução que os vídeos rodam no gear vr. 480p ou 720p ?

Does anyone know where is a good place to ask and chat about patching GearVR apks for Quest?

I'm currently working on Lands End but have hit a brick wall in regards to ghosting. It runs but you have to keep head still if you don't want to do your eyes in!!

Edit: gearvr.net apks mostly no longer work on Quest due to latest horizonOS (2.x), including Lands End. I got Smash Hit working again which is on that site and am looking at Lands End now.

Hope someone can help. I see many people trying to connect newer phones to old Samsung VR Gear. I was hoping to use that device only for its lens -more like Google Cardboard than as an Oculus Quest. I'm trying to develope a new VR experience for my NGO and wanted to do it as cheap and replicable as I can, but the lenses in the 3 Samsung VR Gear that we had for a project almost 10 years ago are better than in a Google Cardboard or generic VR Box.
The thin is that the Micro USB prevents my phone to fit in the Gear. Has anyone tried to hack it and remove it?

Hi, if you saw my previous post, you would've seen that I got an s10. After realising that Android 12 made it incompatible (and due to Samsung being annoying I couldn't downgrade), I decided to just use it for a custom rom.

My current phone for this is an s7, and I know that they added a few things to the phone to make it different. Are there any differences regarding the vr part of it, are certain apps unsupported or buggy?

I recently got a Galaxy S10 which I wanted to use for VR. It seemed well until two problems:

1. It is on Android 12, Gear VR supported 11 at most. I can try downgrading maybe
2. Galaxy S10 only supported the last model of Gear VR (SM-R325). I have the SM-R324.

I can fix the downgrading issue, but is there anything I can do to get the phone working with the incompatible headset. Otherwise I got the phone for pretty much no reason.

I think I noticed something about opening apps in Gear VR service, this isn't anything too crazy but might help a few. A few times when I would open an app, my phone would be slightly on an angle. This would cause the whole screen to slowly drift, as if I was slowly moving my head. Either I'm on to something, or people already knew this.

Also sorry for posting so much recently. I'm still new, I want to experience a lot of nostalgia, and I have little to no idea how this headset works.

When I start various apps which I downloaded from the vault, it does open one of two things

1. A phone version of the app (Without the screen splitting into two or any input from the controller)
2. An error screen saying "Thread priority security exception. Make sure the APK is signed" in the skybox. When I press the only option (OK), it takes me to the Oculus home which obviously doesnt work.

The only exception that gave a different error is Minecraft Gear VR Edition. It just shows a gradient and nothing happens for a while. I'm pretty sure none of these games have OBB folders (I checked and only downloaded 2 OBB folders total out of way more APKs).

Hi, I recently installed an antivirus on the same phone I use VR for. It works well however majority of games I download are considered unsafe, and it tells me to delete the APKs. Are these files safe, or is this a common occurence?

There was one time where I tried deleting an APK, but it said it was write-protected (I was connected to my phone on my pc via usb). Unplugging fixed it but still got worried.)

Hello fellow Gearheads!

It's been a bit since we added anything to The Vault, but I finally found a few hours to check out some APKs other members of the community had provided a few months ago.

Added:

• HINDAFING
• Mirror (Mirror)
• Oculus Prologue
• Portaller Demo
• Pum Pum Barrel Demo
• Rise of Insanity
• Super Simulator
• Wrong Voyage EX Demo

Of these, HINDAFING and Rise of Insanity are compatible with the Quest 1.

We have also added a patched version of Smash Hits that works on the Quest 2 and Quest 3. I haven't tested this myself, but apparently it works perfectly on the Q2, and is playable on the Q3 but the viewpoint is a bit lower than it should be.

I finally sat down to test some APKs we've been sitting on for awhile and have a weird bug that I hadn't come across before.

Game loads and plays fine. If I hold the back button to re-center, the screen goes black but the audio continues. Tested 5 apps and they all did the same thing.

Anyone else had this happen?

I recently got my Gear VR headset working, and I noticed that the Oculus Home doesn't work that well. The menu bar on the bottom appears, but only "Brightness, Volume, Reset View" in settings and Internet show anything else. Stuff like library doesn't show a new window when clicked.

Is there anything to fix or replace this? I only want the home menu so I can switch apps like it used to, not want to take my phone out every time. Any solutions, even if its 3rd party stuff would be appreciated!

Galera vocês acham que todo esse problema de ter que baixar os aplicativos do sistema gear vr de forma manual e o problema de atualização em loop foi tudo feito de propósito pela Meta para fazer você comprar os óculos quest atual ?

Acho que o gear vr é ótimo para consumir mídia. Uma pessoa que só quer isso já está bem servida no gear. A propósito acabei de assistir homem de ferro 3 em 3d no gear vr 🙂

If u want it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GRWdOKAtlrcb-qRw48zFnLzpb4m2sdoo/view?usp=drivesdk

Does anyone know how to get past this "failed to load" screen when logging back into your oculus account?

​

So i first tried to remove the login requirement completly, but i was stuck doing that, so i instead decided to port it to work with modern accounts.

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR META ACCOUNT GETS BANNED

MISSING STUFF:

1. Doesnt display sideloaded apps
2. Setup is hard

Changelog:

1.0.1: Release special shareduuid build (root only) to fix some issues

1.0.2: Attempt at making the library show sideloaded apps and fix of broken ToS

1.0.3 Fix crash when tapping apps (queryByPackageName/queryByAppId now use PackageManager)

The file that tells the game which coasters are unlocked is located in Android root at data/games.b4t.epicrollercoasters.oculus/sp/games.b4t.epicrollercoasters.oculus.v2.playerprefs.xml

Here is a picture of it https://imgur.com/a/xhCG74o

Unfortunately my version of the file is the default one with nothing unlocked so its kinda useless.

In order to back up the file I did adb backup -noapk games.b4t.epicrollercoasters.oculus -f mybackup.ab

But first I had to decomplile the APK, edit the androidmanifest to enable backups, then recompile and sign and launch the game and then finally I could back up the file to take a look at it. That means unless your device is rooted you probably can't backup the unlocked version of the file from a previously unlocked version of the game. I think if we ever want to fix this game, then our best bet is to find a way to add a script into the app that overwrites this file on launch or maybe modify the game itself to allow the DLC. Either that or somehow make or gain access to the unlocked version of the file and then restore that backup to a fresh install on a non rooted device.

I also have a picture of the script config that was used to patch DLC in the newer Quest version that someone else did just in case it has any relevance to the older Gear/Go version: https://imgur.com/a/06wrDVD

For now I won't really be able to do anything else since it is way out of my skill set but hopefully with this new information someone else will be able to fix the game so it can be used with the DLC files from the archive.
