Lollipop Android Note 4 Upgrade

Well, I accidentally upgraded the Note 4 to Lollipop, and now my Gear VR Unity App will no longer run. It installs fine. It launches for a few seconds really jittery, then crashes to black and the Standard Gear VR screen starts up.
I rebuilt the application after upgrading Android on my PC to Lollipop, and changing the Unity SDK path to it.
I have my OSIG dat file in place.
Is there something else I need to do to build for Lollipop and get my app running on Lollipop?
I could try the unofficial downgrade procedure, but I would like to have my app available for others with Lollipop to run.

I don't have a solid answer for you, but I'm curious about this as well. For the Mobile VR Jam, I used SDK 0.4.3 which isn't exactly the latest and greatest SDK, but it works for me on Lollipop, I'm told it works on KitKat, and I'm told it works on the S6 (with Lollipop). I don't know if the SDK is the only factor, but it'd be great to see more data points on this to see if that's the reason, or if it's something else.

I heard many compliants about the new Lollipop but I have no idea how this happened. Anyway, is there anyway you can reverse beck to previous OS?

Which version of Unity and Mobile sdk are you using?
I upgraded mine to lollipop and no problems so far. I'm using Unity 5.0.2 and the latest mobile sdk (0.5.1 I think, whichever was there yesterday)

I see some VR apps have no trouble running on Lollipop, not sure the difference. I am using Mobile SDK 0.5.1, Android 5.1.1, and Unity 4.6.4 Pro - No luck with my builds.

FYI, here are the Unofficial Downgrade instructions for going back to KitKat from Lollipop:

I have not tried this yet myself.
