Hello fellow Gear VR enthusiasts,

I recently found a very cheap used Gear VR (SM-R322), and as I had an S7 sitting in a drawer collecting dust, I thought I'd try it out.

Even though it's been discontinued for over 3 years, the platform is still surprisingly usable. The only major drawback is that you can't login to the Oculus app anymore, which means (at least according to my current research) you need to take the phone out of the Gear VR whenever you want to switch apps. (As Oculus Home doesn't work without being logged in).

During my search for stuff to do with Gear VR, I noticed that it has a decently sized subreddit, but no lemmy presence, so I decided to fix that!

If you have questions about the platform, want to show off a cheap find, or anything else, feel free to post here!

Any 3rd party apps you know about that makes it work on newer phones? Mines not even newish, S10+ but no way I know of to still use my gear VR that's collecting dust.
