vladone97 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) How comes there are no pirated Gear VR apps and games around? Is it because of some kind of security? Or do people just not care about Gear VR apps? Edited May 10, 2017 by vladone97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenstorm Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I don't even know what it is to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes becasue of that don't know exactly what was the reason (some time ago i looked that up when i had a gear vr) but it has to do with Oculus Home that the gear vr uses. However you can disable the oculus home with a third party app (package disabler pro) in order to avoid that oculus home starts automatically when you insert the phone in the GearVR. That makes it so that you can use Google Cardboard apps. Other than that i only know of this for the Gear VR This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up but other than that no idea. Also most of the stuff is porn lots of porn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about disabling Oculus Home to use Cardboard apps with GearVR, but is there nothing else that can be done about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing out for it or if there is i haven't found it. All the people care in the Gear VR was porn.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when XXX is the main selling point of a platform that's not specifically designed for it, you know there's a problem. However, after some more browsing, I've managed to find this little gem This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up When you install the APK it doesn't show up as an app in the drawer or in the Oculus app. Basically it doesn't show up anywhere. But you can get QuickShortcutMaker and launch it that way. So it looks like piracy is possible after all. Or at least I think so. I haven't tested the apk yet, so I don't know if it works. The thing is, I've ordered my GearVR, but it hasn't arrived yet. I downloaded all the GearVR services from unauthorised apk sources just to take a look at the Oculus app, see what it's all about and mess around with it before the headset arrives.

That was the problem that i was also facing with my Gerar VR. There was just no way of launching it in Oculus home. But if you find something that might work just quote me again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download QuickShortCut maker. As I said, I haven't been able to test it, but at least it's something that lets you find it.

Yukiko Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yeah but does it take you to the oculus home where the game is launched than? I have no way to test i myself as i sold my gear vr off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no way to test i myself as i sold my gear vr off. Just tested it. When I launch it with QuickShortcutMaker and then put the mobile in the headset the game starts. I can navigate through the main menu, but when I try to start a new game (more specifically when I select Create world), it closes and sends me to the Oculus Home. I even tried to sign it with my own osig and that didn't fix it. Since the app itself launches, I'm assuming the problem is with this particular apk. Too bad I can't find any other apk of any other app to test my theory. Are GearVR games supposed to have obb files? Because this didn't come with a link to any obb. Or if anyone has Minecraft for GearVR, is this particular game supposed to have an obb? Edited May 12, 2017 by vladone97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladone97 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 UPDATE (for anyone interested): After even more searching, I found this one: This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It works perfectly. So my theory is half confirmed: yes, you can pirate Gear VR games. Now the only problem is: why are people not interested in the Gear VR?
