Can I play Sony Xperia XZ Premium on samsung GEAR VR ? - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I want to use Samsung GearVR with Sony Xperia XZ Premium as it has 801 PPI , Samsung gear VR only works with Samsung s7, s8 or s9 ...
So,Is it possible to install samsung s7 frimware on xperia premium like custom rom so i can use samsung gear software and oculus services?

Short answer: no.
Long answer: It's hard enough to get custom roms to work on the phones they're built for, let alone try and make a stock rom run on another brand of phone.
There's an even longer more in depth answer but just go with: no.

No cause the gear 2 is more powerful than the sw2
Gear 2 runs Tizen, no way the SW2 can handle that

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium / Update of Gear S2 not possible

I use my Gear S2 sucessfully with my Z5 Premium.
My device is encrypted due to company regulations.
If I want to update my S2, it says, that it cannot update, because the phone is encrypted.
Is there any solution, how to update S2 on an encrypted phone?

i've got the same issue with my xperia z3. In case you found a solution, please share it.
Unfortunatly not yet...
Just got a new update of the GEAR-Plugin via Playstore.
Now the Gear-Update works, although the phone is encrypted.
Fast reaction by Samsung! Great!
I'm thinking of buying the xperia Z5 (not premium). It synchronizes with the gear s2?

Dear technophiles!
I have a samsung J 7 mobile bought around 2015/16, which I'ld like to use with Samsung gear vr 2017.
This mobile model is not listed under compatible phone for any samsung gear VR set, so wandering if any of you good Samaritan know of a hack tweak or some sort of software manipulation to run the Oculus/ samsung gear vr software on my Android 6.0.1.
I really do not want to buy a new mobile for this headset.
I haven't bought the VR headset yet as i wait for your recommendations.
Thank you in advance for taking the time.

HOW TO USE SAMSUNG CONTACTS APP ON SONY XPERIA

Hi All,
I am keen to know, can I use the contacts app from Samsung kitkat 4 on my Sony Xperia x compact?
The app was on my Samsung Galaxy s5 mini.
Apparently it's made by snap.inc.
CONTACTS BY SNAP.INC 2.2.22
The reason I like the app is because of the call log I use it for my work
Can someone help me get this app working on my Xperia running oreo 8.0
thanks

Isn't it easier to find another contacts app which is running natively on your current device and had a similar call log feature?
Maybe it is no longer located in the contacts app but in the diaper app.
My father who is 71 has been using the Samsung for years had to upgrade his phone. I wanted to use the apps he was familiar with. He cannot use Samsung any more because he wants to put the phone is his pocket and the screens are too big. He has 2 phones a work phone and a personal phone.
2 phones in one pocket. Old man hard to learn new things
