[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] rainbowtuba:
Lg has a link to their LG Dual Screen SDK on thier site. Looks like a great start

EDIT: It also looks like the system uses Googles Foldable screen API 29 even though my phone is only running Android 9. I assume this means that the device needs to have the "resizeableActivity=true" in order for the Wide View button to appear. I am looking through Whale and Chrome now to see if that is indeed the case and if an older version of either without this snjipped of code supports wide screen

Looks like it's probably "com.naver.WhaleMediaStandaloneDualFullScreenActivity" where things get interesting... Looking through chrome now

Within the manifest of Chrome:

<activity theme="@7F14024B" name="org.chromium.chrome.browser.media.PictureInPictureActivity" exported="false"
excludeFromRecents="true"
configChanges="0x00000D80" noHistory="true"
resizeableActivity="true"
supportsPictureInPicture="true">
</activity>

Final edit: AAAANNNDD here's the manifest for whale:

<activity android:theme="@7F140101" android:name="com.naver.whale.dualscreen.DualScreenTabActivity" android:exported="false" android:taskAffinity="com.naver.whale.dualscreen" android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:configChanges="0x00001FB3" android:windowSoftInputMode="0x00000010" android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
[COLOR="red"]android:resizeableActivity="true"[/COLOR]
android:supportsPictureInPicture="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.naver.whale.dualtab">
</action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE">
</category>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

So I'm pretty sure this is the puzzle piece we need. If we can root the device, we can force this activity any app an force full screen.

Though, Gmail has this and it does not do any sort of multi screen view for me... Hmm...
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Yes! Thank you!

This is what I saw earlier as well, that it says it used the Google foldable APIs but did they back port it? I assumed (like most Android manufacturers I e. Samsung) that they just developed their own thing, so I was surprised to see them mention Android foldables.

Do you think all it needs is the resizable activity true in the manifest? If that's the case, I'm going to try it on some of my apps and see what happens!

Will report back later tonight!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] rainbowtuba:
I don't know for sure if it's the only thing, but Google's Dev notes on foldables mention this specifically, good luck!

I may mess with something here or there myself, this dual screen thing has a ton of potential
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Yeah so I don't think that's it. I checked GMail and also checked Google Maps. Both of those have this in their main activity but neither of them support it. It may be PART of the puzzle, but it's definitely not the missing piece. Will keep looking further.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
So I found something that bothers me a bit....

http://mobile.developer.lge.com/support/forums/sdk/?pageMode=Detail&tID=10018522&listPage=%2Fsupport%2Fforums%2Fsdk%2F

God, I really hope that's not true. So far it seems to be. Since Chrome/Whale browser, etc. are system apps.... Google Maps is not, so it can't... same with GMail…. honestly if this is true, I might return this phone. This is huge for me....

Ignore that, I think this is only valid for those specific APIs that the person in the forum referred to... please ignore my comments, carry on...
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
I was able to have the device spit out information about the two displays that are available. The second display definitely comes up as an HDMI display. I think I have a lead on how to get full screen apps to show up. More to come.

Here's the info that I found: https://pastebin.com/wrSzNsJT
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
You can install 'Sentio' and 'Taskbar' now. It's like Samsung DeX, to trigger HDMI mirroring

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

Some Korean apps (not system apps) can use dual screen perfectly. So it's not true. I believe it's like how LG older Multi-Window feature works, there are some lists of packages names for supported apps. There's also a way to build the code inside an app

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

Can you open a link in chrome or whale that will trigger Gmail or gmaps to open automatically?

Make sure you've enabled force resizeable app apps in developer menu
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] rainbowtuba:
Just tried it, unfortunately it shuts down wide screen moose and opens Gmail on the main screen only

Also, have those apps a shot. You can do some dual screen settings, but nothing like one large screen. Maybe I didn't go through enough settings, but I couldn't get the second screen to play nice
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Tried both. Neither of them saw the second screen until it was pushed over to the second screen, then I had to re-enable settings and permissions. They basically just behave like two independent devices... it's very odd.

Do you know which apps? Are these available in the app store? (Even if just Korean version of Play Store). Could you tell me which ones (or send me APKs of them) so I can try them out/look through them?

Yup, I've enabled the setting, enabled the flag in ADB, nothing happens. Gmail or Maps just instantly close down wide view and open up on one screen.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
I played around with the SDK last night. I can get apps to identify that there is a second screen, when its available, when its turned around and off, etc. So the second screen library that LG ships in the SDK works. However, since there's no documentation on how to actually use the screen, I'm still looking through the foldables info to see how to actually implement something that uses the second screen. I'm just learning about Android Intents now because there seems to be some information there about it. Will try again tonight and post back later. Gotta get to work now. :(
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
My fear, based on the LG developer forums (as sparse as they may be) is that LG specifically allows certain apps/partners to utilize the dual screen feature. Everyone else is just SOL. Let's hope that's not the case, but it may be... will continue to check later tonight.

You can try this. It's foldable emulator of Samsung Galaxy fold. Does it extend to the wide view?

This app supports dual screen

Twinview dock app list (For ROG phone) : Asphalt 9 & shadow gun legend
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
I'm not sure what this is supposed to do, but whatever it is, it's not doing it. I just see a popup floating window with two screen configurations. Tapping on either one does nothing. With or without an app behind it.

All of these apps require "compatible devices" and the LG G8X doesn't show up as compatible... for some reason... I will get my hands on the APK though. Let's see...
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
You can sideload the APK, right?

Yes, even some v50 variants shows not compatible warning. G8x v50s too

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

What about trying axon m developer kit? Tbh I see nothing fancy about it
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Yup, just looking to sideload apks now. Though its proving rather difficult to just find the stupid Dual mode supporting APK. I've found the normal one but I haven't even tried it cuz I'm trying to find the dual mode one.

So, Axon M is much better documented. The only issue is they specifically say to get your app ready and then contact them, because they need to whitelist it... which is what my fear is might be what LG needs too with the G8X...
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
Please try kiwi Browser & Samsung internet Beta browser

I'm planning to make a list of pwa supported apps & apk

This is the old APK of LG v30 camera

You might want to compare it vs the newer LG camera with dual screen compatibility
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
OK so summary of my findings from tonight:

I'm pretty much 90% sure this is not going to work. The apps definitely need to be system apps. They can get permission from LG (which means listing them into the system). They could, theoretically, just allow all apps (like the Axon M). Maybe they do, but maybe they just won't because of how broken the system is on wide screen view.

I found two main apps:

CoverDisplayHome

DualScreenFirmware

Both of these apps are built for the second screen (the cover display). CoverDisplayHome is the launcher for the second screen. Everything on there is hard coded. It does not look like it's easy to support another launcher by a third party, unless LG allows it. DualScreenFirmware is just an app to manage (and update the firmware). They both use an undocumented and proprietary API:

<meta-data android:name="com.lge.special_display" android:value="true"/>
<meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect" android:value="2.16"/>

the com.lge.special_display seems to be the magic APK. I can't locate it to extract it, or identify where or what it is. My guess is that this is where the important information that we need is embedded. It's probably where the whitelist resides too. If someone more knowledgeable can identify/verify this information and get into the phone within the next month or so, I would be very interested in following up. Otherwise, unfortunately, I don't think its possible. :(
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
So, the attached screenshots are what Twitter looks like. When you go into it from one screen, you see the first picture. Then when you hit wide view, you see the second picture. If you reload (or go to twitter) while in wide view, you get the third picture. btw: You can never ever start anything in wide view, ever. The way that the phone works, every single thing only starts in single screen mode. You then have to check if it supports wide view from the little fly out floating menu. Then you hit it, and it resizes the compatible app to the right size. Therefore, adding to home screen from any app/mode will make no difference.

Update:

The (tablet like) mode in the third photo is ONLY possible through Chrome. Since the PWA version (added to home) doesn't include browser options (like refresh), when you launch it, it opens on the first screen, then it lets you stretch it across (because its basically chrome). However, when you stretch it across, you only have the mode in the second photo ONLY. There is no way to make it switch to tablet mode.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
What's the APK package file name of CoverDisplayHome? We can modify it (the name) just like gcam modification to access auxillary camera lenses

Can you upload the file?

Also, please help me with the PWA stuffs. That's the easy way to extend the dual screen

Whale Naver browser please
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
com.lge.secondlauncher. Attached here.

Twitter behaves exactly the same with the Whale browser as it does with Chrome (see previous photos). It opens in one screen, you are allowed to stretch it, but it just stretches the one screen view.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
Adding to homescreen makes a big difference. It acts like an independent standalone app with its own allocation for ram, caching, notification, background services etc. Does it work independently for DualScreen, separated from the whole browser?

In Samsung internet beta & kiwi & whale, you can 'force' tablet / desktop version. You can also also force high contrast dark mode on all webs (or well, apps).

Those browser are forked chromium. Hopefully all supports extended view
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Ah OK. I did not see the option to force desktop/tablet mode in any of the PWA shortcuts I made. Yes, they all work with DualScreen, separate from the whole browser itself. You can do everything within the twitter app in wide view mode. Is there something specific you'd like me to test when having a twitter PWA in wide view mode?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Q_tsaMZ49suncB1_byaZmqM9hYSDVve/view?usp=drivesdk

I tried to edit the homescreen to support landscape & ignore the notch

Kiwi & internet beta support wide view? Both has better pitch dark high contrast dark mode

U need to check force desktop modes on each browser
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
I just get an "App not installed" error. Is it possible to just update a system app like this? I assumed you would need root for that...
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
Can you Install Google maps go or Twitter go / Instagram lite? Those apps are pwa (twa). Do they support wide extended view
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] rainbowtuba:
If you're talking about the apps themselves, only chrome and whale support wide view. If you're talking about a web app, if it's in chrome or whale it works
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Merken_:
After installing the PWA of twitter, it works in wide screen also. :good:
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] rainbowtuba:
Until we get something better, Appscope seems to be the best tool for those of us who want to use wide screen.

We meet need to do some rooting out wait for an update from LG to get full app support. But I'm not giving up yet!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Fair enough. Unfortunately the apps I use aren't conducive to this. Also, I really don't like maps in the webview format.

I'm really sad to say, but I'm throwing in the towel. I'm pretty frustrated by this and I frankly don't want to wait for root to be found or to hope and pray that LG enables this feature one day.

Also, I've had this phone freeze on me twice in one day. And I don't just mean freeze for a short time and come back. I mean freeze completely, unresponsive to anything, unresponsive to button pushes... Literally just a brick for a solid 5 minutes until I held the power button and all buttons together for a good 2 minutes. Holding power didn't do anything, holding power and each volume button didn't, I tried everything systematically. I rely on my phone WAY too much for it to do this. Especially if I'm on the road and driving or something. I also wasn't even using the second screen, so I'm not sure what it was. I could just factory reset and try again, but I was frankly very hesitant with LG already (having owned the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, G4, and G5). I'm (very sadly) done with this phone. :(

Why don't u use high contrast dark mode? I believe this OLED foldable will have a major increase in battery life with that

Quote from a LG dual screen developer from their dev forums who's been doing this for a while:
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
Landscape or portrait

Which one is better for dual screen wide view mode on this dual-notch+wide-hinge device?

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

That's not helping at all.

Can we politely ask them to change it?

Or will there any difference in Android 10 with proper native foldable support?

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Hope you're not done with that phone before you check it with dongles adapter ? hope it will change your mind
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
I think that depends on preference. I prefer the portrait mode, but when reading longer articles it's very annoying. Also, pictures are spread apart and you can feel your head moving back and forth to read things. It's nicer for broader/wider things like Google Maps, but when reading articles, it's not very practical, you want to do horizontal.

Yeah, you can try. I honestly don't think it will help. Personally, I don't think they will do it. The design is not meant for that. Even the Axon M has screens that are flush against each other and have no gap in between, so it makes sense for them to do it. This phone has the cover screen slightly above the regular screen and about 3/4 an inch apart. It's just not designed for this, so I don't see them supporting it. Also, when you get a prompt for the fingerprint scanner, it shows up in the middle on software, which means it's right where the screen gap is, but the sensor is in the middle of the right screen. So you have to position two fingers. That's not anywhere near production level of quality. Unless they heavily modify the software to support it (which maybe Android 10 sports) and IF they finally update this phone to Android 10, we may have a chance from them. Until then, you will have to wait for workarounds and/or root.

Yes! I always forget, I'm sorry. I will hopefully remember today when I get home before I pack it up and ship it away.

I'm new to WM6.1 Pro. Was using Standard and got a new phone.

With my trusty old Tornado, I recall there was a time when it wouldn't use just any audio file (wav, mp3, etc) as an alarm, notification or system sound. Then, one day before I could investigate this phenomenon, I installed a Tornado ROM that made them all work.

So imagine my disappointment when Wilhelm III (yes, I named my phone, what of it?) with a 6.1 ROM wouldn't let me use just any old sound file.

So I need to ask, what criteria is this functionality based on? Is it determined by the location of the audio files? The encoding of the files? Does it have to be wma or wav, or specifically what codecs or bitrates?

With WM Standard, I was able to adjust maximum volume output through the AudioGain settings in the registry for BT, and Speaker (I could have adjust mic pick-up too but I had no need).

But it seems that WM Pro doesn't have AudioGain, so how do I tweak my phone to ring louder, and hear voices better?

And yes, I have searched, I do search, and despite being lost for hours and being greatly more informed about many things, I haven't found an answer that provided results for me. And despite my sudden return to noobishness, I am generally a very helpful person, so I think I deserve a freebie quickie question-response this time.

TIA

Re Hard resets.

Most cooked roms require you to do an additional hard reset after the device has been flashed and restarted.

This is simply something that people have learnt from experience.

The only other times you hard reset after:

1) Phone simply won't respond after trying everything

2) You've installed something and it has screwed your settings beyond any chance of recovery

3) Your rom has got cluttered after loads of installs and uninstalls... and you need to "clean" your rom but still want to keep the same one.

(But I agree that "first post" maintenance would be really handy - but the rom chefs are busy cooking - someone else should volunteer to update their first three posts.
