Any 3rd party apps you know about that makes it work on newer phones? Mines not even newish, S10+ but no way I know of to still use my gear VR that's collecting dust.

Sadly Gear VR stuff was removed in Android 12. If you want to make it work on your S10+, you either have to downgrade to Android 11 or remove the USB connector in your Gear and use it as a Google Cardboard headset instead.
If it even is possible, I might make a guide for the former in a few months, as I'm in a similar boat with my S10.
For the Cardboard solution, AFAIK someone made Cardboard QR Codes for all Gear VR models, but I don't have the link for those right now.
