Can't get Sammsung VR to work with Darthstalker - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

Hopefully it is just user error. I've seen several videos where a user puts his phone into the Samsung VR and it automatically detects and even has a audio response to remove it. My phone does not do that. It does nothing when I plug it into the VR. I am using Darthstalker rom, could that be the issue? I don't see Samsung Gear VR anywhere on my phone. Can't find it in the app store either. What's happening?

Try using skyhigh 3.0 kernel, I find its the best kernel for gear vr! Others don't even detect the gear vr.

Apps not showing in Samsung Apps

I have a Gear 2 running on a Galaxy K Zoom in Texas. However most of the apps mentioned here don't shop up for me in Samsung Apps through Gear Manager. Is the Samsung App Store region/carrier/device specific? Can't find Paypal, Gear Navigator, etc. Anyone know how I can get the apps to show up?

Here the same. Before ugrading to Tizen I had Eevernote, Glympse and MyMyRide on my Gear1. All gone now and not showing up in the store in Gear Manager. I think I didn't upgrade, but downgrade to Tizen :crying:
No problem

I have a good news for you , downgrade from tizen to Android is possible and very easy, it's toturial ( how to )
If after downgrade your touch screen isn't working, don't panic You must flash evrything again and evrything works perfect, i too update, to tizen and back to android.

any solution or idea ?!?
Think it might be device specific. I have a note 2 with gear 2 Neo and no Golf Navi, gear navigator, etc. Decided to reset and pair neo to my work phone (galaxy S4) and they showed up. Tried downloading application to S4 then backed up apk and loaded on note 2. Application installed on phone OK but failed to install in gear manager. Not sure if this applies to all scenarios but this was my experience.

I am a developer and I have published Gear apps
Developer can choose group of devices and can also select regions and countries
I do select always all devices and all countries.
If the developer decide to select some devices and only one country, the the app will be published to the selected devices and to that country only
Why? I don't know!!
If you can't see my apps, then the problem is in your side
check "My Gear Apps" topic
Actually can see your apps in gear manager Lux and Thank you for your work on them. Looks like some GPS based apps (at least in my case) are being excluded from the Note 2 running 4.4.2

The previous version of my app (Multi-Watch) was compatible with 89 devices.
The current version only 55....
I didn't change or add any permissions.
Its a complete mystery to me.

this is what the developer console of the app store shows to me now:
<see attached screenshot>
I tried asking them what is the reason for it, but got referred to a standard app publishing paragraph..... as usual.
In total I have asked them 13 questions now, never got a real straight forward answer on my questions.
I wish there was a way to call them and speak with them on the phone.

It is a filter problem caused by the Samsung app store. Currently, they filter the devices manually like so: Gear 2 + Galaxy S5, Gear 2 + S4... and so on, which I think is kinda dumb. My apps on there are filtered for 55 combinations. I'm sure they are missing a lot!

New Cyanogenmod alpha for N920t

Has anyone tried it yet? Been using it as my daily driver and it's pretty amazing. This isn't a joke for anyone who like myself thought we'd never have cyanogenmod on our note 5s. Just wondering if anyone has tried it what are your thoughts

Oh I use textura. So I'm not sure. I'd report it in the thread so Rayman can see it. The battery life isn't the best either. But for an alpha it's pretty impressive.

Also the video isnt working on the phone, recording video on camera or snapchat. It records on the camera but then it freezes when you play it back. and on snapchat is just says recording failed.
Camera quality does not seem very good. The only thing that may make me switch back to a Samsung based ROM.
Anyone else notice a camera quality difference?
Yeah, it seems the same for me. I'm tempted to dual boot though. I do like this rom for the most part.

I have a nexus 6, rooted on cm14 (android 7.1). Watch works for the most part (no messenging app for some reason), and can confirm Samsung pay does work. Only tested Samsung pay at one location, and I will say that it did fail multiple times before I found the "sweet spot" and it went through.
Same problem here, force close with gear manager from play store... Any solutions ?
I run a stock LG G5 non-rooted with no issues with any apps or watch functions. The issuesnis more than likely root and/or a non-stock rom being installed. I suggest flashing backk to non-rooted stock and that will probably resolve both issues.

I have a Oneplus 3 on android 7.0 oxygen OS unrooted paired to gear s3 frontier, been using this set-up as previously trying cyanogenmod 14 rooted (resurrection remix) found one annoying issue.
The phone dialler just freezes as soon as you dial someone. This works perfectly fine on stock rom.
I'm not sure but will try rooting oxygen os and see if this happens, to determine if rooting causes issue. Also using third party apps for texting seems to have better compatibility.
Will try this theory on phone dialler to see if it works. I hate the fact it wont dial phone numbers presaved with #* or 2 second pause.
Also noticed I don't see anything on gear manager for Samsung pay set up.
I had a gear s2 previously and worked prefectly on stock or custom rooted roms.
Still with its faults I love it. samsung as always has to mess up with small but simple things ;(

I have not found any workaround. I did actually contact Samsung and they were surprised that it didn't work, though they had no solution.

The unique hint I find is the Gear Browser coming from the app store for free, or maybe it was already there and I didn't notice since I don't plan to browse the web from the watch.

Very true
Used to use it. Now I don't. Stoped because I didn't notice any benefits. Both ram usage and battery life are about the same with and without it. Also, there was a time when the developer pushed like a gazillion updates within 2 days. Not too confident he knows what he is doing. Oh, and this is the only app I've ever used that needs an extra app installed to make it work. Something is off.
Used to use it, now using Adhell. Much simpler. And working
Using it on my S8+, and did on several previous Sam phones. It just works, no problems ever.
I can't prove if it saves any battery, but the phone is just cleaner without all those unused apps.
Used to use it, made things worse.dont need it with S8+.
I have tried to find this but does anybody know how applications such as package disabler work?
I have it too, yet to install on s8+
