Hi,

May I know how you managed to do it? I am where at where you were earlier, flashing CTJ5 and only getting nordic regions, then BTH4, not being able to choose a region but unable to do an OTA update either (the region I am targeting is XSP, Singapore). I just downloaded the below as per @Nmc_alves but I dont understand the rationale for it. Inside the CSC folder I don't see XSP nor the TGY that you managed to get. Will you be able to advise what I should do next please?

R845USQU1BTK2_Tizen_3File_CSC (OYN).EF_098cad56dc

R845USQU1BTH4_Tizen_4File_CSC (OYN).EF_7f9930f725

Thanks in Advance
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] icecool217:
Not on here often and just saw your post.

You need to look for R845F firmware as a starting point.The ones you have listed are R845U. Those are mainly North American / maybe Latin America firmware.

@Nmc_alves® has shared the firmware containing XSP. Check the first post in this thread for R845FXXU1BTH4_Tizen_4File_Multi CSC (OLB).EF_ffa1474cce. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] solarius:
Thanks! I've managed to get that loaded in, and missed that out previously as I didn't notice the requirement to separately download the EF extractor software. After installing the new firmware though, I'm not sure how I can actually check on the current CSC to verify if it's indeed been changed to XSP, and also it seems that there is no OTA update on the version which is currently at BTH4, which is about a year old. Any idea how I can get this sorted?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] icecool217:
After flashing the firmware and setting up the watch for the first time, were you able to select Singapore (XSP) as your country?

On your watch, you can check your firmware: settings -> about watch -> software -> software version. If you see R845FFZSAXSP, then you are set up for your region.

Also, when you flashed the files, did you flash all 4 files (CSC, BL, AP, CP) so that they are from the same set of firmware? I can't remember for sure but the radio needs to be consistent with the other 3 in order for OTA to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] solarius:
No Sir,

I've just done a check and the software version is displayed as R845FXXU1BTH4. I'm quite sure that I've changed the prod code and csc active customer file. I'm positive that I've flashed all 4 files within the firmware as well. My model on prodcode is a bit different though, SM-R845FZKAXSP, not sure if this is correct, I pulled it off the samsung page as the model version for Singapore.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] icecool217:
Sorry. It was a typo. as long as the last 3 letters (region code) is XSP, then you have achieved your region specific firmware.

I'm looking at the XSP documentation and do not see BTH4 (BTG7 -> CTJ5 -> DUA4 -> DUC2 -> DUE4). You may need to search for one of those firmware version and inspect inside to see if it has the XSP region files in order to push for update.

Why BTH4 is not listed but has XSP, that part I am not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] solarius:
Great, thanks,

I believe there's a CTJ5 version of the firmware. Let me try it again and see if I'm able to get it to work. Thanks, and it's good to know how i can actually make sure that I'm getting the correct region specific firmware installed
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] solarius:
ok now this is weird, i've just checked the CSC region available on the CTJ5 firmware and it doesn't contain XSP, and somehow on the BTH4 version that I was using the XSP region is there. Is there any way we can magically combine both? I've also tried to source for the other firmware versions but haven't been able to find anything so far....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] icecool217:
That is what I find strange as well. Seems like most of the firmware do not contain all the regions expected.

But that doesn't explain why BTH4 shows XSP region too.

May have to ask a more technical person to see if it is possible to copy over XSP to the CJ5 firmware.

I have a favorite launcher I have used for years and would like to continue doing so when I get my Z Flip 2. Does anyone have any information what what can be expected when trying to use a launcher other than UI Samsung provides? For those interested, the launcher I've used since 2017 is Action Launcher (and of course I do have others, but I always return to AL).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
I sent Lacy an email on this; they usually respond quickly. I tried searching the OG subsection without hitting paydirt.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] allen@markham.us.com:
Yes Lacy does usually get right back. I also sent the question to him. I may have to just wait and try it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
I can't imagine it'll be an issue. The only issue would be when you try to use a third party launcher with native gestures - it works, but it's buggy. OneUI 2.5 promised a fix, but that wasn't the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
Most work but don't support two screen layouts yet, that much can be gleaned from the OG subsection. Launcher aficionados will of course want two different setups so both screens can be maximised.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] vagelis:
I saw a reddit post of someone using Tasker and some event loop, to have the default launcher in the external small screen and Nova Launcher in the Tablet one for the original Fold. Can't expect that though to be the best choice. I think at least in the first few months we'd have to stick to the default...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] allen@markham.us.com:
Seems like the plan will be to try and see if it works. Stock is always the default, however, default is (seldom?) the best choice, especially when one knows the many options there are for custom.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
My money is on them making it happen. I worked with them when gestures first came out which at first conflicted with the drawer pull out from the bottom (this was pre official google gestures) and they fixed it in a matter of days. This of course might take more time but they are very reactive to making these things happen. Folding devices are not going away and they butter their bread by selling that launcher, it's not a side job. I'm fairly confident it will be coming and in the near term rather than further out.

Q: Foldables (Z Fold2) Support?

Vagelis

Sun, Sep 13, 4:36 PM (2 days ago)

to support

Greetings Chris,

I am a long time user and supporter of AL.

As I am switching to a Galaxy Z Fold 2, I am curious as to whether you would consider supporting the dual screen layout that the Fold 2 has.

The stock launcher has different layouts for each screen, which allows customization of the different usage scenarios each screen offers.

There also appears to be API documentation from Google and Samsung to support this.

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/foldables

https://developer.samsung.com/sdp/b...how-to-update-your-apps-for-foldable-displays

https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy-z/ux-and-ui-considerations.html

I know that technically we can use AL with the same layout for both screens, but the dpi changes make the single layout for both screens not optimal for neither.

This might be a good opportunity for AL to acquire some new users; others in the field have an interesting response:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold...thinks_galaxy_fold_and_foldables_in/?sort=old

I would love to continue using AL with the Fold, but for now I guess I'd have to downgrade my user experience. No Covers, no Shutters... it makes me shudder (wink, wink).

What are your thoughts please?

Thank you for your consideration.

Stay safe and healthy.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] mattboy9921:
I am in the same boat, my Z Fold 2 comes today. I've been using Action Launcher for years as my favorite launcher. Nothing else compares. I hope support will be added and I'm happy to lend a hand if I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] vagelis:
I have not heard from Chris yet. I am sure it will take some time to figure this out. If I were to base progress on the availability of cases, I'd say, patience grasshopper..

Not all is lost however.

Since Sept 16th, when I received my Fold2, I've been using the stock Launcher with Home Up (Good Lock plugin).

The experience has been great, and the dual layout is very practical. I can't say I miss AL that much...

Worth setting it up and taking advantage of the dual setup. Until any 3rd party Launcher supports the same, I'm sticking with stock.

Successfully using Nova Launcher on mine. You can even have two different wallpapers, though the rest of the settings are mirrored on both screens. No issues yet using this, scales really well.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] mattboy9921:
After a few days of ownership, I'm still not sure. Currently using the stock Samsung launcher but missing Action's features and customization. Samsung's launcher is so basic.

I also tried the tasker method of changing launchers based on the screen. It works but I don't like when I go from one screen to the other and see the wrong launcher before hitting the home button again.

At the same time, having a launcher with the same layout stretched on both screens wouldn't work for me because I like to take advantage of the very large inner screen with lots of icons and widgets that would simply not translate well to the front screen.

I really hope developers of launchers will consider adding folding support.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
Yeah, you can run action that way as well but it isn't what we want. I was glad to see that the edge screen still exists with 3rd party launchers so you can still set app pairs with it. Really wish they'd let us set them anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] lanre:
as a couple of others have said, Nova Launcher is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] pcxnet:
Every launcher 'works' if you use the exact same layout and sizing on both screens.

That's horrible. Try the default launcher and see what its supposed to be like.

Also, does anyone else have issues with a long pause between wallpaper showing and the icons appearing when you had the launcher open on the front screen and then change it to the big screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
I'm on action and no problems at all other than being able to make dedicated setups.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] vagelis:
No one is disputing the fact that you can run Action Launcher and Nova on the Z Fold2 (or which ever other launcher).

It is a clear advantage however to have separate configurations for each screen.

After having setup the default lanuncher's dual screen configuration I would not want to go back to being forced to a single setup.

No matter how smartly you configure a single layout, the aspect ratio of the two different screens means that you are not getting the best of your expensive device's potential.

Simply put, there are separate uses (and apps) that can be taken advantage off in each screen.

Until AL (or any other launcher) supports this, the humble suggestion would be to give the stock launcher a chance. With Good Lock's Home Up module, there are only a few things the non-stock launchers offer, and a lot of practical functionality that they lose.

The great thing of course it is that this is a free world, and each one of us can choose (wisely) whatever they feel serves their needs best.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] krabman:
Nah, AL can setup a 5 wide grid on the front and in the dock and make the dock paged. It can then be setup with the dock shortcuts (or any other shortcuts) as covers which gives you all the shortcuts you need on the front and more than if you used the stock launcher even on the inside. Easily beats the crap out of the stock Samsung launcher even when gimped and without considering all the other benefits that Samsung doesn't offer.

There is no chance I would use the stock launcher, Action Launcher kicks sand in it's face and walks away with the girl. I do however look forward to fully optimizing the screens when the time comes.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] PiCkLeS:
I have a setup in Tasker that switches default launcher depending on a logcat event that confirms if the phone is folded or not. It works, but I have found that using Lawnchair as my launcher (especially for me with a minimum dpi of 900) works just as fine for both screens. It scales icons specifically in a great way between the screen sizes.

/P
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] BURNEE:
I totally get the two separate screens thing, but I myself prefer to use Nova and just 1 screen customized for both displays and it serves me really well. I did expect to have some issues, but apart from the Tesla Unread plugin getting wonky and not updating properly when I switch between the two screens, I've had no actual issues. I feel right at home.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] ianmacd:
Another thing you can do instead of running a different launcher on each screen is run a custom DPI setting on each screen. The system will scale your DPI setting anyway, but if you use a very high setting on the main screen, the display on the outer screen may appear too small.

I was running AIO Launcher on the outside and Nova on the inside for a while, but now I run Nova on both and just trigger a custom DPI setting on a fold or unfold event.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] tazm0n:
It's been my go to launcher since having a Note 9 (Was a Nova fanatic for years before), used it through S10+, Note 10+ and S20U, and it was pretty solid. Has some nice features like the dock drawer and Bing wallpapers. Probably not a "power user" launcher like Nova, but it gave me the few options I still wanted to customize (mainly icon packs). I'm not really into doing granular customizing like I used to so MS was perfect. With what Samsung offers in their Good Lock apps now, I've even given up MS Launcher and am really happy with OneUI these days on my Note 20U (while I await my MB Fold2 blue hinge!). If its possible, when I get my Fold2, I may try MS or Nova Launcher on outer screen and OneUI inside... can't wait!

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] allen@markham.us.com:
My Fold2 came 10/1, so I've been using it for 3 weeks. Initially, I tried the Action Launcher that I've used for several years. It worked but the front screen was very cramped as it was really just a compressed version of the inner screen. Surprisingly I discovered that the 'build in' launcher allowed for a different layout on the outer and inner screens - something no thrid party launcher seems to do, at least not those I have used. This means I can setup the front screen for the basics like making calls, simple texting, voice mail and checking email. On the inner screen I have all my folders; opening the device acts similar to swiping to the next page complete with it's own dock layout. It's so good that I don't miss my other launcher(s) at all. I wonder now long (if ever) before third party launcher can separate the setup of the inner and outer screens?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] vagelis:
To even make your system launcher a better experience, you can download the utility Home Up from Good Lock and that gives you additional customisation for the default launcher. In a sense, you will not really miss much that 3rd party launchers offer when you set that up.

Installation

PpPmod allows for a fully customizable installation. The way this works is via a configuration file called PpP.profile. You will always be able to find the latest version of this file on this post. Make sure you edit this file on Notepad++ if you are opening it on Windows in order to preserve the Unix EOL format.

Requirements:

Realme UI v1 on Android 10 and display width of 1080 pixels

A working Magisk installation of v20.4 or higher

PpPmod should only be flashed via Magisk Manager

First time installation:

Place PpP.profile in /sdcard/PpPmod/ and edit it to personalize the installation to your liking

Flash the PpPmod zip via Magisk Manager

Reboot. Wait for at least a minute to let all installation options take effect.

Done

The first time you install, chances are that the PpPmod folder will not be in /sdcard, so you have to create it yourself. If you don't place PpP.profile there, the mod will be installed with the default options when you flash it and place the default PpP.profile inside /sdcard/PpPmod/.

Update to a newer version:

Open Magisk Manager and uninstall the previous version

Reboot

Wait for a couple of minutes after reboot as the uninstallation process can take some time

Install the newer version via Magisk Manager. Don't worry about changes to PpP.profile, they will be merged to your older version profile

Reboot. Wait for at least a minute to let all installation options take effect

Done

Uninstallation:

Press the waste bin icon next to the mod's name on the Magisk Manager

Reboot. Wait for a couple of minutes after reboot as the uninstallation process can take some time

Done

Downloads:

PpPmod v1.1

PpP.profile v2
