Possible to start GearVR App as normal Android App?
Essentially what I want to do is showing a network/graphics configuration menu for the app when started normally from the android launcher and when started from Oculus Home/VR Dev Mode it starts in VR...
I was wondering if there's any update regarding the use of the vr_dual flag?
The intent would be to be able to start an application in "2d" mode to collect user credentials, etc... and then switch to VR mode on demand.
As of November 2015 the status of this functionality was "There isn't currently a supported or simple way to build an APK that works in both VR and non-VR mode", how about now?
I know support was not complete in previous SDK releases, and even if one was able to use this mode, would an application using it be accepted into the store?
