QuasiLiminal

Hi all, my first time posting, and I want to apologize if this question has already been answered or discussed - I was unable to find it through keyword search here or google searches. So I noticed today that the Lumiya viewer has a VR mode, has anyone been able to use this with the Gear VR headset? The problem I am having is that when I turn on the VR mode in Lumiya then try to put the phone in the headset, the headset automatically turns the phone into the normal Oculus mode. Of course, from the Oculus home screen I can no longer access the Lumiya app. Is there a way to disable this automatic recognition of the headset by the phone so it doesn't do this? Or maybe some sort of Google Cardboard override or something? I would love to use the gear vr to see sl, but can't quite figure out how. Any help or tips are greatly appreciated!
