Now we all know that the GearVR no longer supports the use of the Note 7. But I wonder if Samsung has enable the Note FE to be used with the GearVR Seeing as the Note FE is nothing more than a refurbished Note 7 with a smaller battery.
I tried VR with the Note 7 ported rom last night and none of the software was present and it did nothing when plugged into the headset. Installed apks but no joy. Will keep you posted if I get it working.
Good news. editing build.prop > ro.build.model to "SM-G955V" (model no. for S8+) has stopped crashing of Oculus app.
Manually installing all packages has now allowed me to get into Oculus app Will try with the headset when I get home.
*edit* waiting on OTG fix from rom dev in hope it sorts the recognition.
VR does work on my Note 7 with Hydra without any issues. But change the model to a S7 edge SM-G935F because if you change it to a S8+ the Apps will think you are using a S8+ a 18.5 screen and will stretch the image! this will leave you with a wrong aspect ratio and a headache.
I'm not wondering if the original Note 7 will working with the GearVR. I wanna know if the Note FE running the stock OS will work with the GearVR. It is good to know that the original Note 7 will work with the GearVR running a custom OS
Chieco is right about what I was saying with the aspect ratio. No need to deviate from the way it was done before.
Sorry I didn't read your post properly. I think there will be issues still, like I'm having atm. As it's not supported like the note 7 you will need to root, do the build . prop fix and get the vr setupwizard apk as it won't be on the phone.

That sucks. I would have thought that Samsung would have addressed this when they released the Note FE. Seeing as the Note FE has a different model number and is running on the latest OS version

My guess would be that Oculus/Samsung couldn't be bothered or didn't want to make it easier to get it working on regular notes. This might be why the latest version crashes constantly and won't detect. I'm curious if it still works on hydra or if they patched it to not work on either note7 full stop.
Any News to use gear vr on our Note 7 with FE rom port (on hydraRom, it works...)

Should we wait before buying the GearVR? Or would the ones on the Samsung website eventually work for Verizon Note 4's?
Well that's upsetting seeing how i purchased one and missed that little tid bit but i suppose ill just be holding onto it until it is supported or find anyway around it.

I just thought that bit of information was strange > _ <;; Hopefully it will work by the time you get it though o:
I guess I'm just hoping the incompatibility is in the software and not in the hardware but I'll find out I suppose when it arrives
Looks to be an update needed. I don't know where that puts me ,I have de version, and don't get updates. I'll have to wait and see if we can do the update ourselves or something

Hello
I am on SM-910V running 5.1.1 rooted/unlocked bootloader/ twrp installed and wanted to know if the SM-R320NPWSXAR is now compatible with Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
I know it's supposedly only for Note 4, but I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue or software?
If software, I'm sure some dev has made a workaround for it to work with Note 3, but I haven't found anything on it.
If it's hardware, what is the limitation? I thought it was basically the same set up size-wise and port-wise?
Bump also interested in this answer
So ive got my hands on the new 2016 gear vr the white one. Device works with stock note 4 after modding the case.
On my n9005 it wont start up the ocolus home after connecting and also no input from touch/buttons of the vr. Ive tested this with the team nx s8 rom. Afterwards ive installed wit shortcutmaker the vr applikation from the rom. Shortcutmaker wouldnt be needed if the vr gets recognised by the phone correctly so.
So the problem is that note 3 unfortintly wont speeck with the vr goggle...
Hi.
I saw a thread that said that Oculus blocks Note 7 and FE devices. Is this still true? Can I just edit the build prop to bypass it? I would also like to know if the device overheats while in VR since the Note 4 had that issue. I'm thinking of getting the FE instead of a 8/9 since I don't really need the power much and I think the Note 10/11 would be better.

You should be able to use the Note FE with the GearVR without any issues.
Hi, I've been using Galaxy Note FE for over an year.
And i noticed there's a super cool camera enhancement in almost every phones from Samsung but Note FE.
Which is Google Camera Port.
So I'd like to ask you guys to help me to use that.

You can certainly try testing the Camera Ports for Exynos Galaxy S7/ Edge, the same Exynos processor, so I'm pretty sure it's going to work, if it doesn't, try changing settings, or downloading other Exynos versions of GCam from Celso Azevedo.
Nexus 6 also

Also please consider making a port for Nexus 6 which has 32bit architecture n is missing the list unfortunately.
