[Q] Disable Gear VR app from auto-loading

looking for an easy workaround for playing cardboard apps (and FPSe emulator). I found that gently clicking the note into place will prevent the gear vr app from loading but I am looking for an easier method, as this method only works like 1/5 tries. Maybe disabling a service, or a different setting somewhere?

I used a napkin and just put it in between the pins for the adapter, works great. Just take it out when I wanna use oculus.

I have found a quick and easy solution, if you happen to have a computer around
1) If you don't have Android developer tools, install ADB standalone: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
2) Connect the phone to your computer and you're done.

To disable Oculus autostart, issue the command: 
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.hmt.vrsvc"

To enable it again, issue:
adb shell "pm enable --user 0 com.samsung.android.hmt.vrsvc"

Does this require root?
