Hey guys,
I've read somewhere that those two apps "com.facebook.system" & "com.facebook.appmanager" can be safely uninstalled if Facebook was not needed.
So I removed them since they don't have disable option.
Then, I came across Oculus Store only to find out it needs them in order to work !!
Now, Oculus wants to update by restoring Facebook's AppManager but the problem is that it can't complete the update process which made me stuck in there!
Could someone please upload those 2 apps for me so I can reinstall them? I'm on Lollipop 5.1.1
Or maybe something else could fix this thing?
Your help would definitely save me.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Salaam

Had the same problem in my Note 5,
Assuming you're running stock odex, download any deodexed rom in your custom roms section of this forum, extract the required two apk files, and place them in app/ and priv-app/ as placed by default.
Reboot once and use the phone for a while. Deodexed apk will not work in your rom, but it will trigger the silent updates to install the updated version in data/app and you will see it shortly when you open application manager from settings.
Reboot afterwards and clear Dalvik-Cahe.

I couldn't find them in any rom since they get installed once plugging the Gear VR in for the first time!
So, I uninstalled Oculus & Oculus Home apps then re-plugged the Gear and Oculus installer started to download them back.
Once finished, Oculus Store opened normally and the problem was finally gone !!
Here's more info:

Hi guys,

The S6 from my brother works without a problem loads and installs everything... Can i flash the gear vr apps and software manually, or can i get the wizard back to work normally?

I know when iam trying this i get the error "netzfehler" in german how did you root? and did you scale your dpi?
No I did not change dpi .. maybe this is the reason ?
I rooted by installing TWRP then wiping data ( this is to get rid out the boot looping issue ) then flashed SuperSU.
an by the way, I'm using 930F version

May be you can consider flashing back the Stock ROM and have your VR installed first then do the rooting again.

Edit: Found it internet works, but vr service still won´t start :´(
Well i am all out of ideas...
i installed the apps of my brothers s6 but no luck... everytime i plug the s7 out of the gear vr and press next the same error pops up... maybe if someone could spare vr services backed up via titanium backup it would work... for anything else i guess i have to wait for a software update or fix or whatever.
same pb here ! it was working ok before i rooted & Xposed it after a full reset.
i was not able to reinstall it because of internet error

Somehow i am glad to hear that i am not the only one with that Problem.
Did you play around with the dpi?
I read another thread on Oculus community forum... this issue occurred before even on other phones...
some says it could be coming from Oculus servers.
I tried to logcat the app ID 10072 that tried to read the DNS before displaying the network error.
also tried...
to fully reset the device
to run the app with/without Sim card,
with a VPN
deleting cache...
no luck so far
I read that the Facebook app has to be installed or enabled can someone confirm this ? and try to log in and launch the setup wizard ?
if don't have a Facebook account.

No, you only need com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system services. Not the Facebook app itself.

edit:
How do I turn on App Manager and Installer ?
To turn on the App Manager and Installer, tap on the "Settings" application, then "Applications" and finally "Application manager". Make sure you have chosen the "All" category and find the following applications:
com.facebook.appmanager (App Manager)
com.facebook.system (Installer)
Tap into each and make sure they are enabled.
Unable to find com.facebook.system
If you are on Android OS 6.0 (Marshmallow), com.facebook.system may not be visible. Please try the following steps:
1. Navigate to Settings
2. Tap on Application Manager
3. Tap the More menu in the upper right corner
4. Tap Show System Apps
5. This will make com.facebook.system visible and allow you to enable it.
The App Manager and the Installer must be enabled before Gear VR apps can be installed and updated on your mobile phone.
I use Facebook for work as we have fan pages. I use Facebook pages manager to manage them. I never had Facebook downloaded on the z5(work phone). I received a notice in play store that pages manager had an Update available. That's when I started receiving the 505 error code when trying to update the pages manager. Then I uninstalled the pages manager and tried to reinstall and now it won't install at all keeps giving me the 505 code. I read online where they say to remove the Google account and then add the Google account back,clear cache and data etc.... and if that doesn't work of course reset your phone. I'm not going to reset my phone because I will lose too many important chats with in different applications on the phone.
Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Update: the only apps that won't update are Facebook,f.b.pages manager,and now f.b.messenger....I'm not a Facebook fan,but need them for work.
This is an unlocked phone bought from Sony in Thailand. Model E6653, build# 32.3.A.0.376

if you are rooted and have sony ric disabled then install playstore again using lucky patched, but first go to settings apps find google play store and wipe everything from that app.
EDIT : Best thing is to use titanium backup(you have to be rooted) and backup every app that you have important chats on, and then do full wipe(excluding /system).
Full stock z5

Is the problem only with page manager or with other apps, if only page manager simply download page manager apk from apkmirror and install it and that's it.
Only Facebook apps are effected.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to installing apk,roots etc...

Apkmirror is source of official apks so it is same thing like if you download from playstore.
So I need to download from unknown sources? Check that option in security section?

Open this :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebo...manager-102-0-0-15-67-2-android-apk-download/
press download apk, then go to:
Settings Security enable unknown sources and then install this apk, just press on it in notification area, after installing disable unknown sources if you want and that's it.
Even though I get a warning message saying it can harm my device?
Thanks for your help.

Ignore it, i use apkmirror for years and never had any problems with any apk.
It downloaded,but I can't locate it. It's not in my app drawer or on any home screen.....
I went to my down load section,and tried to click it,but it says can not because it conflicts with existing package. So I know it's in the phone,but how do I access it...?.....
File Commander or any other file manager and locate Downloads folder and there it is.
When I try to download
Here is the screen shot
It won't open......

I did. I deleted any file that had the word Facebook in it from file manager too. I even went into Google play store under all apps and deleted it from there also.
It's so strange how it only FB,FB messenger,and the page manager
Well this is a bug. I experienced this problem after upgrading to Nougat from Marshmallow using flashtool. Sideloading (apk) won't work. Do a factory reset, that's the only fix.
It's just too much trouble factory resetting. I'll just have to use my other device.
Thanks guys.
you have to do a clean install not update..
I was deleting Bloatware (without root with adb commands) and I deleted my Galaxy Apps Store on my Samsung. Now, I need it for some reason and it isn't installing. I installed ZArchiver and went to /system/priv-app/GalaxyApps_OPEN/GalaxyApps_OPEN.apk
I tried to install the APK but it isn't installing. I tried to install APK from APK mirror and even it isn't I installing. I tried older APK from my old Samsung and it doesn't install.
i know that a factor reset can undo everything but I don't wish to start up fresh again as I have customised my Galaxy M31 a lot.
so, if anyone knows any other way of installing that again please tell. I will be really thankful to you.
So, this is my first time rooting a phone, and once I managed to get it to work, I started playing around to see what capabilities I had now.
In doing this, I uninstalled the play store. I've tried multiple methods to reinstall it, but none have worked so far.
I've tried installing a new play store apk and used systemize to turn it into a system app, but that didn't work (the app crashed on launch)
I've also tried using link2sd but the app wouldn't let me convert to system app.
If anyone else has any tips for me I'd be grateful.

Copy it from another device using ApkExport then transfer the installable copy over to the victim device and install.
I haven't tried it with Playstore but it works on other apks even if the donor device is on a different Android OS version.

sadly the only other device i have is a samsung galaxy S2 that is barely functional. I doubt that'll work.
Before you do anything I'd make sure you have a good backup of your device. Copy text messages, contacts, photos, etc all to external storage.
My first thought was just download install APK, but I see you've done that.
Someone else may have a better suggestion, but, if nothing else works, I'd try installing pico GApps to restore Playstore functionality.

Pico PackageThis package is designed for users who want the absolute minimum GApps installation available. In this package you will find the core Google System Base, Google Android Shared Library, Google Play Store, Google Calendar Sync, Dialer Framework and the following Play Store applications:

Try it. It will copied system apks and updates.
I copied apks from a S4 running on Kitkat to my Note 10+. If it loads Playstore will need to update, that may be a problem... or not.

Google Play Store app by type is a normal 3rd-party app. Wondering why you want to convert it to a system app?

Yeah it's a system app on my Note 10+, can't be uninstalled*.
Normally it doesn't crash although it's common for it to not connect to Playstore. It does that if Google play Services is disable but even then it doesn't crash.
* I think, it has a disable option but to find out if there's an uninstall I would need to revert to the factory load first... which isn't something I want. It appears to be as I originally stated.

there is no uninstall option. I uninstalled it through other means as my phone is rooted. Now I'm having issues re-installing it and getting it to work.
My last 2 cents here:
Per definition only apps that are needed by Android OS to work are called system apps and are stored in /system/apps. Other apps - called 3rd-party apps like Google Play Store - may be stored in /system/priv-apps.
BTW:
If you manually install Google Play Store APK then it installs to /data/app directory - as expected.
