It appears that without root access it's now impossible to disable the Oculus App on google cardboard.
I've tried downloading multiple apps and have even seen someone take their goggles apart to get it working.
I've been racking my brains and then came up with this simple yet foolproof way to stop Oculus loading when you place you're phone into your Gear VR headset.
No the Gear VR controller won't work, just the same as it won't work if you disable the service but you can get cheap bluetooth controllers for Google cardboard which will work.
