Hi,
Ok, I know Oculus Go devices are not supported anymore. I also know that no new versions and corrections will be made to the existing last version of deovr for this device, because it's not possible due to the EOL of the device, and because Oculus Go doesn't have any future anymore. That's not the goal of this post.
The fact is both Oculus Go deovr app and deovr.com platform are still compatible, but one video is messing the way Oculus Go works: https://deovr.com/q2gml The title of this video has single backslashes and they are not correctly parsed by the app and we're redirected to the website of deovr. Changing this title will make us possible to see DeoVR.com again (that's enough to replace "\" by "-". It doesn't affect Quest or PC because they're not using the same endpoint anymore (and may have received a patch to handle this, too...). Anyway, altering this title would solve part of the Oculus Go users makeing deovr.com available again.
The other issue is because of Meta. They did something wrong last year and almost all the applications cannot be run anymore. DeoVR APK must be patched using this tool: https://vault.gearvr.net/app/oculus-go-patching-utility/.
To do that,
APK can be retrieved using adb:
# Get the package path
adb shell pm path com.deovr.gearvr
# In my case, it returns /data/app/com.deovr.gearvr/base.apk
# Then download the apk
adb pull /data/app/com.deovr.gearvr/base.apk
Then uninstall DeoVR from the Oculus Go, and thanks to SideQuest, install the parched apk. If deovr video title is corrected, everything will work. If not, only SexLikeReal will, as no video has any \ in its title.
So DeoVR Team, please alter this title replacing "\" by "-". It won't change what the title means, but solve the incompatibility between Oculus Go and DeoVR 🙂
