r/GearVR

I feel like I've looked everywhere, but any listings for them are just sm-r324s

In the last couple of days, I have seen reports in posts on here stating that Samsung Browser, Samsung Gallery, Oculus Browser and Oculus Video all no longer show in GearVr Home Library.

I can confirm that same here, although I don't use them, but I went on Oculus Video a few days ago, to answer a question on here about whether the version I had included the moon seating area and I started it up from my Gearvr home library.

After reading various posts on here today, I can confirm they're now missing on mine too and I can only launch them from settings/Apps or GearVr and Lightening launchers.

But I have a few Gearvr apps that I own, which show in the library on my S6 but have never shown on my S9+ and when I have a moment, I will look on my S6 and see if the apps in question today,show on there!

My worry is, this could be just the start of further removals, leading to disabling altogether!

It's odd why they'd mess with it now!

As I stated in my previous post which I made in reply to a few people who said these apps have suddenly disappeared off their and my S9s, I had said that I would look to see if they appeared in GearVr Library on my S6 when I had a sec,

I have now looked today, and can confirm that Samsung Gallery, Oculus Video and Oculus Browser all show up on my Old S6 and are working, but not on my S9+ as I said before.

As I have also said before, I'm okayish with tech, but not very much up on some things so please forgive me if I am totally incorrect and come across as alarmist but a couple of months back, I did post that new security measures were coming in which stated that older apps and independent ones which have outdated licenses or no licenses may become blocked by Android and wonder if the below info has anything to do with it, as it says Knox update will affect S9 and upwards:

Major security flaw inside Samsung's Knox framework (CVE-2026-20971) affecting devices from the Galaxy S9 up to the S25 was uncovered and subsequently patched by Samsung in its January 2026 security update.Knox Vulnerability DetailsThe Bug: A high-severity use-after-free vulnerability existed in Samsung's kernel-level components (PROCA and FIVE) within the Knox security suite.The Risk: It allowed an unprivileged local app to potentially corrupt kernel memory.The Fix: Addressed via the January 2026 security maintenance release.What You Should DoCheck your phone settings to see if your security patch level is set to January 2026 or later.Go to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install to apply any available updates.

Essa semana alguém tentou acabar com o gear vr novamente. 4 aplicativos desaparecerem da minha biblioteca no gear vr home. São eles: sansung navegador, galeria sansung, óculos navegador e óculos vídeo. Todos esses aplicativos eu consigo ainda usar se eu abri-los pelo gear vr serviço. Então pelo menos ainda dá pra usar. Uma maneira de usar os navegadores sem precisar usar o gear vr serviço é ir em configurações da home e escolher o navegador padrão. Tem 2 opções, o da sansung ou óculos. Ae é só clicar no botão Internet nos botões que ficam na home do gear vr. Estou escrevendo isso porque vi relatos de outras pessoas que aconteceram a mesma coisa. Isso é uma forma de não precisar tirar o gear vr se quiser trocar de aplicativos.

Alguien me puede ayudar o enseñar como hacer funcionar los gear vr en mi s10 + con Android 12 y UI 4.1 (se puede hacer de forma manual que funcione?)

I can't find either in the Oculus Store, and PhoneCast VR refuses to open them. What's odd is that I definitely used to have both working fine. Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: not even sideloading the latest versions works, just for clarification. I'm on a Note9 running Samsung Experience, so it'd be nice to have the SE-era versions of both apps if possible. I have the APKs, it just won't let me use them.

Hello @u/TheGearVR. Some time ago, when you created The Vault.gearvr.net site and it came to our attention that you had personally paid out of your own pocket to subscribe to the host where The Vault is held and storage space and a number of us were more than happy to contribute toward that cost, but we were unsure how long that subscription would last and I'm wondering when you'd appreciate donations to "buy you a coffee" again, be they large or small.

So, I downloaded the unbrick files to play on the Gear VR, but every time I go to sleep and wake up, I have to download everything all over again. And it's a huge pain.

Hi, I've noticed that in some games that I have played (I can only remember two roller coaster games), there was the option to buy more rides to go on. I know the APK situation, but has anyone figured out a way to get said DLC, or to trick the game into thinking I have it? This is not needed but would appreciated as a few games have content locked behind paywalls.
