When I tapped VR Service Version it scanned and said "You are NOT a developer" Developer mode is on, what did I do wrong?

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

When I try to build the app it takes several minutes then gives the error “Parse Error : There is a problem parsing the package” Help?

I'm using a galaxy Note 5. I've already enabled unknown sources, enabled developer mode and restarted the device.
[Samsung Gear VR] static Nachos:
Yes package disabler is the best way i found

Google package disabler pro.apk or pay the mear $1.95 for it then open her up and then ONLY check gear vr service, then launch your cardboard and 3rd party stuff. Note " you will have to enable and disable every time to revert back to using regular oculus launch browser"

sgear vr consumer edition.

I have developer option enabled, I'm trying to use cineveo app, off of the play store, but it does not continue to play when the phone (s6 edge +) is placed in the vr unit. I have stopped the Occulus start up, but,

a

I wonder if you could please be more clear about which of the several entries should be disabled, in case I have disabled the wrong entry or, maybe it should be more than one.

b.

Is it possible some one might give me, an idiot proof walkthru of how to enable and use cineveo.

Thank you for this thread and your help so far, Happy New Year to all on Xda.
[Samsung Gear VR] dorsefrith:
I did not use Cinevo yet, I will try it later but if you ask about which process should be disabled to be able to use cardboard apps, you need to disable Gear Vr Services.

I also use gear vr light (consumer edition) on sgs6+.
[Samsung Gear VR] samsungwarrior:
Thanks very much for your reply, I'll keep an eye open for any experience you have to share.
[Samsung Gear VR] atv73:
All you have to do is buy package disabled from play store and disable gear vr service and you are good to go.
[Samsung Gear VR] JohnB847:
The new Gear VR for S6/Edge/Edge+/Note5 apparently uses different drivers. There s no Gear VR Service. Turning off Oculus Home stops it from loading, but something is still starting. The screen goes black and the proximity sensor is working. I tried disabling all of the Oculus apps and all combinations. No luck.

Suggestions?
[Samsung Gear VR] shanksv:
Type in VR in the search box and you will see the Gear VR Service., It works on the S6 edge.
[Samsung Gear VR] transfo47:
So what does enabling developer mode actually do? I can see it makes the screen warmer and if flickers a bit but how does this reduce distortion?
[Samsung Gear VR] Zabica:
Same happens to me. As soon as I activate developer mode, screen starts to flicker at about 20-30 Hz. Too ugly to leave on.
[Samsung Gear VR] clonednull:
It enables the "low persistence mode".

Normally a pixel is illuminated until the next refresh cycle hits him. This is not good in VR as moving your head around "drags" the illuminated pixel through space producing a blurry view. Just like quickly moving a flashlight around in the air produces a light trail. When the display is in low persistence mode the pixel illuminates only for a short time and then goes off again. This eliminates the blurriness when moving your head which can be always experienced when using cardboard apps. So enable Oculus "developer mode" to profit from "low persistence" also in cardboard apps - the only downside is the reduction in screen brightness.
[Samsung Gear VR] transfo47:
Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense.
[Samsung Gear VR] voilette83:
I have followed this and re-followed this and have been unable to locate Gear VR Services anywhere. I have a Sprint S6 Edge with the newest Oculus Gear VR. Any ideas?
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
I know you have followed this but have you used "package disabler pro" like it says in the original post? Or can you see Gear VR Service when you look in Settings, Applications, Application Manager, All? Just trying to help you figure this out.
[Samsung Gear VR] dorsefrith:
Or just search it manually by scrolling down. When I use Search button I can't find it also.
[Samsung Gear VR] legalizacion_24:
Tap the "VR Service Version" number six times.

Wait for scan process to complete and you should now see the*

Developer Mode toggle on this screen.

where to find lever ???? I see no lever ???[emoji15]

Even easier

Use Gear VR Cardboard. Available in the playstore.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartslab.gearvrcardboard&hl=en

:cool:
[Samsung Gear VR] incompetent:
Maybe a silly question, but: When the Gear VR service is frozen and you plug your phone it, would the other VR apps still be able to use the Gear VR sensors? Or would they not have access to those anymore?

Also: plugging the phone in seems to disable the touch screen, which obviously makes sense. However, I have to turn on USB tethering once the phone is plugged in. Manually isn't possible since the touchscreen is turned off and I have found no way to automate this procedure without having root access (and the Gear VR doesn't seem to like rooted phones very much). Ideas?
[Samsung Gear VR] jamboxboy:
I use Google cardboard apps by inserting the phone and lifting the USB port so it doesn't plug in. I have to start the app first. I just don't get if people are accomplishing something different by freezing oculus?
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
This was an easy method that I also tried; however my S6 slipped around too much. Using package disabler was a sweet solution in my case. I can plug in my phone and Gear app does not start, enabling me to use all cardboard apps. Also the select button acts as trigger-no magnet waving!

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

You realize you posted this in a "non-root" thread and Gear VR Cardboard requires root. If the users here are having problems disabling a single service then rooting is probably not for them?. (unless they want complete freedom to do what they want with their phone by trading away their warranty ?).
[Samsung Gear VR] sonicthoughts:
Tried method at top of thread and it works. Problem (which is very big issue):

1. Several steps to set developmer mode and disable Gear VR service.

2. No way to navigate in cardboard.

3. Need to manually startup apps (ie take out phone, launch, put in)

4. Have to renable gearvr to turn off developer mode (and flickering)

This is not acceptable. I expected it to work with Cardboard and shocked they don't. Have a $100 headset that should work great but they make me use a $1 cardboard with my new $800 phone .... crazy move Sammy. Hope the product people are reading this or someone comes up with a seamless way to switch. I'd root my phone but that kills android/samsung cc pay!
[Samsung Gear VR] dorsefrith:
One of the reason that Samsung sells gear vr for 99$ is that they want to get money on apps. So your freedom would cost Sammy extra cash. Still there will be ppl who will bypass it but there also will be a lot of other who will pay cash for apps. So there is your answer why when you plug your phone you are locked in Oculus Store.
[Samsung Gear VR] developweb:
I just generally disable gear vr service. You can use a cardboard launcher to navigate similar to oculus and many of the apps are look/tilt/tap the select button on the headset to interact. Oculus apps are cooler but many cardboard apps do work as well. A fine example is the Swivel Gun VR Log ride demo.
[Samsung Gear VR] Zabica:
If you enable Gear VR service Developer mode, you can launch your VR applications from Gear VR Service menu. When connected to Gear VR USB, they will work as they were launched from within Oculus Home. Also, apps installed from SideloadVR will work perfectly using GearVR sensors. I haven't found any Cardboard apps from Play Store that benefit from Gear VR sensors.

Touch screen is not completely disabled. A tap on the screen will have the same effect as a tap on the side button of Gear VR.

Rooting might be an issue, but if you carefuly chose the ROM and kernel you are flashing, you will not experience any problems. You can even improve thermal performance by slightly underclocking CPU's. When choosing ROM just make sure Oculus support is present, or can be installed as aroma option. I have found several kernels have power issues with Gear VR, and usually reboot the phone as soon as it's connected to it. However at least 2 kernels for G920F work wihtout issues. Experiment to see what's best for you.

This being said, rooting your phone will not help you do USB tehering thorough Gear VR USB port, as Gear VR USB port is just for charging.
[Samsung Gear VR] dorsefrith:
Guys.. there is mush more to do to root/flash your device or risk that your phone slips away than just install Package disabler.

Updated guide

Hi ! Thanks for this guide.

I've tested this on a Samsung Galaxy S7 and updated it here: (as a new user on the forum I cannot post links, sorry for the url) gist.github [dot] com [slash] hugohil/67a47f0d47e887a92d95548a4176d212.

Hope this helps some ;)

Cheers !

TL;DR: Remove any Oculus app and enable the Gear VR Service developper mode. Do not disable Gear VR Service package (i.e no need for Package Disabled Pro+)
[Samsung Gear VR] Eddie Hicks:
Here is the link if anyone is interested. https://gist.github.com/hugohil/67a47f0d47e887a92d95548a4176d212

I'm a little confused. The instructions say to remove all Oculus programs before starting this process. Does that mean you will not be able to use Oculus apps after doing this?
[Samsung Gear VR] hoaivu1508:
This app on this thread, Disable for Oculus is fake

Here is the original app Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR of KunKunSoft devloper help you can Play Cardboard apps and games with one TAP. Have many feature: Advanced Mode (developer mode), Hardware Disabler (disable Home, back... button), Calibrate VR Viewer and Gamepad for VR

Disable for Oculus did copy all the description, popup and content of Play Cardboard apps on Gear VR, so don't download it
[Samsung Gear VR] Kuori:
Caution!

I don't know what's real here but in this reddit thread another developer seems to warn people about the KunKunSoft app!

So proceed with caution!

(I really think there should be an open source solution for this since all those apps need to be registered as device administrator, at which point they can potentially do a lot more than their permissions suggest.)

[Samsung Gear VR] XenomorphXx121:
Sorry but how do you make an app?

I've spent ages trying to figure out how to use sideloader but the explanations people give seems gobbledegoop to me.

I downloaded asignature with sideloader from the occulus store and now what? How do you make an app?

So if I download an app how do I get the signature into the app and make it?

Eh? Makes no sense.

Samsung PhoneCast VR Beta is out

It seems there will be no need for this generally , with https://www.oculus.com/experiences/gear-vr/1239896026125279/?action=buy

,use your phone from vr . Not yet tested.

Edit: Not available for any model less than s8 yet.
[Samsung Gear VR] Jeepers183:
I just finished answering the same question for myself. I suspect there was an update but the sideload app takes care of the signature file automatically on startup. So once you install one of the apps inside of sideload, you'll be able to enable developer mode for gear vr services.

Anyone know of a way to adjust brightness while developer mode is enabled?
[Samsung Gear VR] vonseif:
I have used the GearVR USB port to connect a USB-C hub with a keyboard. (To use the w-a-s-d keys for moving around in webxr sites on the oculus internet browser.)

This worked.

When trying to turn on Ethernet, the following happened: ...

My USB-c port has a realtek IC, going to the [android settings]->[connections]->[other connections]->[ethernet]->[turn on ethernet] switch just switches from 'turning on' to the off state (aka,. usb-c port (realtek) does not want to connect).

So am i correct to observe that because the USB-c hub connected a keyboard through the gearvr usb-c port (that weirdly enough does connect to usb-c keyboard but no charging)...

If you can connect Ivry to PC steamvr via Ethernet, it is possible to have a somewhat decent performance or actually a good performance using the gearvr for steam. the only real value after you're done with the home apps.

Hi guys. I'm kind of newish around here compared to some/most of you... I just realized how cool and useful and stuff it can be to use my 8125 to read RSS feeds/podcasts. I was hoping some of you guys who subscribe to RSS stuff (not just with your phones, but PC too) wouldn't mind sharing some of your feeds with me. Blogs, news, comics, miscellaneous stuff... I don't care, I'll be the judge of if I want to see it or not.

I see with some readers, they are able to import/export lists in OPML format.. so I figured that would be a good standard to go by, unless you just feel like typing everything out, that works too.

This isn't just for me, it's for every inquiring mind who wants a new feed to look at in their daily routines.

I'm still deciding on what RSS reader to use... I'm testing out egress and newsbreak. Hubdog takes up a lot of memory but at least it's free (and it was pretty good except for the memory stuff). pRSSreader is free but it was also pretty good. I know there are a LOT of threads on RSS readers for these mobile phones, but if anyone wants to throw in input, maybe hand me a reader I haven't thought of/heard of before, I would appreciate it.

Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to what everyone likes/thinks is worth their time.

I found a great site for OPML sharing, it is located at http://share.opml.org

Thanks to all zero of you were nice enough to suggest an RSS reader (i asked you not to do this) and to share your RSS feeds lists (only one person got close). You really made this thread worthwhile. I hope the extra ~60 seconds it would have taken you to export your feeds to an OPML file and upload it here were spent wisely.

Nice find jonflow, that site has helped me fill up my list of feeds quite nicely. I've avoided the RSS reader thing altogether and just sync accross my RSS feeds using Outlook 2007. They appear in an RSS feeds folder in Messaging, and they even get pushed out right away with OTA sync, it's an intergrated lazy man's match made in heaven.

I don't really get anything through RSS that's easier for me to get through email, so I've never seen the need for another app in RAM that'll check info thats a pain to read on the small screen. I've also been testing rssfwd.com, and I'm really liking that since it makes it much nicer to get a daily digest like with Slashdot.

I received this amazing charger from Tronsmart to review. This is a desktop USB charger that includes 5 charging ports. 4 ports will charge your devices simultaneously at full speed.

The 5th port is special. It's a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0... This will charge compatible devices (Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge+) at a rate of up to 75% faster than normal chargers.

I absolutely love this charger and have mounted it on my end table so it's easily accessible to myself and my kids.
