[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
question how come sometimes when i launch the app it shows Text next to the icons or button and sometimes it does not..... like the screen shot attached please advise and keep up the great work love the mod
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
Have you tried toggling Dark/light mode ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
yes just tried that and it still does not show the text like in the picture and i also cleared cache too on the app
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
Also feature request, ability to backup my settings of which apps I toggled to show on cover to save somewhere so I can easily reinstall and get back my toggles chosen and not have to do clean install and re-choose all over and over again, thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
You shouldn't need to do a clean install, but I can add it to the backup configuration (handled by Android, not something that app controls)

The Android 11 launcher (and subsequently it's widgets) had a hard-coded dark theme, so all the text was written in as white to ignore themes. That no longer applies, so it needed an update
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
God bless Android for completely redesigning the flags, structure, and requirements of their APIs every time they change the version number. Backup requires 3 flags and two xml files just to cover both 11 and 12...

Anyway, that update was just pushed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Flashlight is not working for me in the new build
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] SFG24:
None of the toggles are working for me either. Usually it's just wifi toggle that doesn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Yes for me the same not of the switch is going
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Still no logs. Still can't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Where i can send it? I cant upload a screenshot here
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] SFG24:
When I try to send log it says invalid access token. I tried adding email address as well, but still no go.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Same
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The guy posting the completely anonymous issue included my token, but the toggles should also be fixed.

That message wasn't directed at you. If you look back, it is an ongoing issue with "failure to cooperate"

EDIT: Logs are now fixed, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Is working thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
nice update, but now if i show the front screen with the names of the icons there its all in Black not white like before, but I can say the issue with I mentioned before with icons and no names on the app seems fixed thank you...not sure how to show you a screen shot of the cover....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Apparently it's still dark theme on the cover no matter what then
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
Perfect thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
BTW: For those that the WiFi toggle works, you can scroll it and toggle mobile data, too. That saves adding another toggle, but the size of the window is more or less "what they gave us"

Once they are all done and working and blah blah, I will see about implementing a little trick I have to make everything a bit bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
Use same button combo takes screenshot of cover screen ie power and volume down (or up on cover screen) simultaneously
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Serious question: How stupid have we become as a society?

Accessibility requirements for Google Play:

I need to request permission from the user, which involves opening settings on their behalf and having them enable the option. This will prompt the user that accessibility has the potential to provide access to controlling the phone or reading everything on it (even if none of that is enabled).

I need to place a prompt in front of requesting permission stating why I am requesting the permission.

I need to record a video showing that I request permission, my prompt precedes requesting permission, and the permission is used in a safe and effective way. I also have to show that permission can be denied and will be significantly reflected and respected by the app. Any movement in the video must be done slowly enough that the viewer can read EVERY line of text on the screen, relevant or not.

I need to then add another disclosure that explains the fact that permission is requested and why to the description of the app.

All of this and you can literally just hit "Deny" or, better yet, NOT ENABLE IT AT ALL.

I get that almost everyone just hits accept to the privacy policy and terms of service because they don't feel like reading them, but adding more steps won't solve laziness. The only time they aren't going to be lazy is when they are demanding compensation for the outcome of not reading any of the prompts and screwing themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] V0latyle:
Agreed...everyone is a victim in a litigious society
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
So, nice update. Love the new features besides just launching app.

Question: is there no way to go back in an app?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Swipe from the far left or click the nearly invisible SamSprung.

Still need to fix that so it is always the same place, not just "left" (meaning the bottom on a portrait view)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] BWA80:
Hi!

Question/request/or nonsense 😁

What you think if change the back swipe to the right of the screen? It would then match the back swipe on the main screen. Or at least i swipe back from the right of the screen... 😁

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That could work. It ended up being the left because of the pull out menus and that feeling natural at the time, but i've noticed more and more stuff already uses that side.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
That goes directly back to app launcher, not back within an app ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Yes, that is correct.

One thing to keep in mind is that you are comparing apples to oranges and the funny thing about doing things differently is that they aren't done the same.

It's only been 10 days. Imagine what will happen in 20.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
Hey, loving the app so far, and your comments on modern society and Accessibility requirements for Google Play :LOL:

Would an option to start the app "minimized" be possible? I mean, maybe just that small written "samsprung" overlay on top of the original cover, and then opening the app tray when I click it? This would make it perfect.

Thanks for your great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That was always sort of the plan for that, which is why it was never made completely invisible.

Well, that and an actual navigation bar similar to the primary home.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
We have a logic problem. On the stock widget, swiping from the left is notifications (and they're fundamentally junk). Swiping from the right are widgets. This would mean that a launch button makes most sense on the left of the stock cover, which means placing the back on the right is confusing. The only solution I can think of would be adding a whole navigation bar like the system. Swipe up from the bottom (of the view).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] pitflyer:
Brand new Z Flip 3 user that updated all the way straight to One Ui 4. I recognize that the app is evolving based on that and permissions, but maybe I'm just confused on what I need to do after installing. I would like to use the Bixby unlock rather than disabling lock altogether, so I assume I ignore the warning about disabling lock. However, there are four toggle switches (TooUI, Accessibility, Notifications, Write Settings).. do I need to go through and enable all the access for all four of those areas before this will work?

Directions say:

Click the switch in the top right to enable access

Make sure to return to the app from any prompts

That was just the top one -- and it wasn't enough for me to see this in the Cover Widget list, which I assume is the eventual goal here.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Now more smooth than any... able to view main screen n be back to apps list.. really works well! 💪
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It's not a widget anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] pitflyer:
Thanks for developing the app. So as a new user do I need to enable all four things for it to work? How do I launch it from my cover screen as it is no longer a widget?

If this is document elsewhere I apologize I only saw an older YouTube video of the widget based way of using this

Never mind I figured it out by seeing the little text on the side of my screen and unlocking via Bixby hold. Very cool!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The next build is going to be a real exercise in trust. I am going to say that it works and you can slide up a navigation bar and I get the feeling nobody will trust me and there will be a lot of posts about it being broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
#intwistedumbrellawetrust
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I left a 0.1 alpha until I have enough confidence it will never crash.

So begins implementing the navigation bar. One way or another, this thing will be almost a full home experience. If Samsung won't open up widgets, we'll add those, too. I won't sugar coat it or call it something it's not. It will be a full launcher running alongside (not over) Samsung's own.

... really tempted to make the button to return to their widget the coronavirus one that Android Studio offers.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Alright, so the new build has the stock launcher by default. Swipe up to reveal a bar. Bar has 3 buttons: Left - Stock launcher, Center - App screen, Right - (unimplemented) back button

And no, notifications and toggles are not being added to the navigation bar (at least not any time soon)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
w0w! sounds interesting... yes we got trust in you that more n more updates to come...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
In portrait couldn't click the apps button.. might be to near with those 3...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Album is my baseline for testing that exact issue. Trying to work out a compromise between the apps
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] carortruck80:
Latest update just lost samsprung. Just samsung cover. Went to send logcat and the github page says unexpected error. Tried flipping all the permissions and clearing cache, short of reinstall and nada.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Swipe up from the bottom of the cover screen. It's a small area, but it will open a navigation bar. It's not 100% stable yet, but it's getting there.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I think I got this thing somewhat responsive.

Moved to https://github.com/SamSprung/SamSprung-TooUI/wiki/Extended-Instructions
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
navigation bar now came even on portrait view... once it out, able to bring down back but couldn't click any after that. If didn't bring the navigation bar out, able to click... emm, sometimes double click at screen.. shows background only... click once then only clock came at the display... does it because I'm using a gif as my background? Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
methinks you posted right as or after an update was pushed that addressed the lag. The navigation bar was a little slow loading and had to be moved to after the holder was resized.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Look is great works perfect love it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
In landscape, once bring up navigation bar.. couldn't click check in... if not out yet, able to click there and around that area after that...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Tap the text to retract the bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
yes could retract but after that couldn't click around there... if not out, able to click around there...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Works great but when i listening music on spotify, i didnt see it on my widget! No music title
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That is between Spotify and Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Without samsprung is working!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] carortruck80:
My stock launcher music widget has never shown music playing from any of my 4 or 5 apps i use. Beyondpod, spotify, antennapod, haven't tried pandora yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Spotify is on the cover screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
I'm not comparing anything. I just asked a question.

But what a difference a day makes. The new version is awesome.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
Fisrt of all, I'm Loving this new version, thanks for your work

Now the bad part :v

I have this weird problem where most of the time the apps open in "multiwindow mode", like a small window inside the cover, I can move it and maximize it and all, but is to small to be usable.

Weirdest thing: In this "multiwindow" view I can even make the keyboard open by clicking in fields (which shouldn't even be possible right?)

(Also sent you a report inside the app, maybe the log helps)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] SirJoe78:
I don't udenstand. What should i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
You cannot open apps on the cover if the phone is locked

So you have these two options:

Removing the lock

or

Using bixby + fingerprint unlock, as is the only way to unlock while closed
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] SirJoe78:
I have resolved add Smart Lock by position and near the Galaxy Watch4
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
It's something like this:

Maybe you have to setup something in smart lock, or bixby itself, I really don't remember did this a long time ago, but then doing that just works, unlock that way (wont say it's unlocked) and then open an app (or open the app, get a black screen, do the process, and it will work)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The goal now is to get Google Play caught up before moving forward.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] SirJoe78:
-Why can't i open any apps from cover screen? I touch youtube icon, for example, and i must to open the phone for use it!

-When I open any App, Samsprung doesn't respond. If i open and close the phone Samsprunng starts workin again.

I have tried to cancell all lock, i try with and without bixby!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
Screen goes black when opening an app? Seems like the locked behaviour...

Youtube is one of the apps that works perfectly for me

In this reddit post they discuss how to use the bixby key to do the trick, its with the old "widget version" but the bixby trick stay the same
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
You have a secure lock screen blocking the apps. As a matter of safety, this app cannot simply ignore a secure lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I guess I need to add a larger notice that verifies a proper workaround is configured.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Runs unstable screen freezes very often
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dr.Lost:
I have replicated the issue with the pop up window. To avoid this make sure the app you are lauding isn't in your recents and make sure none of your apps are pop up
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
What "issue with the pop up window"?

Having to clear recents is not something that should be required
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] SirJoe78:
I haven't!

Patience, i'll retry in future.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dr.Lost:
The issue described in post #545. The replicate.

1. Open an app and set it as a pop windows and minimize it.

2. Close screen and launch the same app from samsprung launcher.

3. See the same app launched as a pop up from cover screen.

Side note. Keyboard does work with this method. Could be something worth looking into.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dr.Lost:
@twistedumbrella
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
I open an app in samsprung, go to home and then it always freezes for me. I dont know why
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Intentionally launching with the multiwindow flags causes everything to lock up. I had been exploring that as a means to make the navigation bar push the "normal" window up when it opened.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Yes great job app is great
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dr.Lost:
Hate to ask but have you gotten with the other developer who is working on CoverScreenOS? I feel like you both could make this work really well.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That is a hard one to answer without anyone getting offended. This is a freeware project. That is a commercial project. This is trying to extend. That is trying to replace. It would be hard for either to benefit without one losing its purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
This is taking shape really nicely as a fully fledged launcher.

Few observations..

When I press back < on navigation bar in any app, it correctly goes home, but then launcher and screen freeze, and sometimes unlock to a black screen (I'll try get a log).

If Samsung Pay enabled on cover screen, the swipe up for navigation bar is a lottery (obviously, clashing as the gesture is same)

On a personal level, as my eyes aren't what they used to be, and I have a larger thumb, I'd prefer 3 or 4 wide with bigger icons on the launcher and a bigger nav bar and bigger icons on nav bar and notifications/quick settings.

I feel like I'm dissecting a flea !

Pretty awesome worked twisted.

I have donated to the "other" commercial cover screen app and tested both. I won't compare save to say we're all luck we have you guys extending the functionality, so thank you.

One nifty feature would be to add more widgets (Tasker and Bixby Routines add a whole new world of automation and convenience at a button-push on the cover screen), but I get that there's different philosophies at play.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
When I swipe up from the bottom, samsprung doesn't open, and when I go back from an app, everything freezes, this almost always happens. Does somebody has any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The sizing is something that will come last (with good reason).

If we're being completely honest, anything paid should always exceed the free counterpart. The widget set a low bar, so we're raising it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dr.Lost:
You've got a strong community here to help you out so it just always nice to see a freeware, homebrew is the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
Understood on the sizing, utility and stability first.

Samsprung is working great, perhaps a misunderstanding or lack of reading the instructions or limitations on our part, but when going home or back from an active app, freezes the cover screen. If I press power off, I get my wallpaper, no clock, then again, clock returns but can't swipe to navbar.

If I try reopen the same app, black screen until I open phone and reopen the main Samsprung app.

As for paid vs this app, I won't delve there but this is damn amazing and we're lucky to have you, I think I can safely speak on most users behalf, we appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
There are two places calling the same expected functionality and each has some sort of eccentricity. Somehow they are both at different stages. Test one and end up fixing a different one. I need to find a better way to combine them, so they both get all the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Maybe a little too extreme...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
e46cbb8 allows me to reopen an app, if I press the back button to get back to home screen 👍

But if I press home screen with selected app open, nav bar no longer comes with swipe up, until I press power button screen off, then on again, then I can select the same app and it opens.

Whatever you changed in e46cbb8 works much better and no crashes except for the behaviour of the home button described above.

ZFlip 3 A12, January 2022 security patch
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
Perhaps a little 😂 but somewhere in between ? Could an "X" replace "Samsprung" would seem more intuitive.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
I'm having problems with "portrait apps", not sure if its like this for everyone in this version or if it is something with my setup.

I will try to elaborate:

In widget version (and maybe in some previous ones but not sure), apps like instagram would open in "cover portrait mode" (does this make sense?) and now they open in "cover landscape" but very narrow, making those apps completelly unusable.

I'm attaching a screenshot of how it looks now, sadly I don't have a screenshot of how it was before, but it was perfect back then
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
Have you updated to latest version. My IG launches portrait (A12 with latest A12 Samsprung launcher)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
still freezes for me and I suddenly have 2 status bars when I swipe up, very strange
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
Yes I did :(

checking /latest on github a hundred times per day lol

and A12 here too

Now that I know that yours is working, I'm pretty sure it's someting on my side

I will try to figure out what's different on my setup

Already tried all rotation modes, don't seem to affect the cover screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] crawls69:
For some reason, apps won't stay open. I start out with the phone unlocked. I turn on the cover screen, swipe up to reveal the Samsprung app navigation bar, click the button on the left to open the app draw, select an app, the app launches for about 1 to 2 seconds then crashes back to the native OS screen. This happens consistently for every app that I launch. I sent a logcat on this issue in the app itself....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
If that's all it takes to get past a password or pin unlock, that is a huge security concern. If it's swipe, the app already handles it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kgh11120126:
This is all possible, such as fingerprint recognition and password.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That is a bit unsettling. Bixby shouldn't be able to walk over your security like isn't there.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] crawls69:
When I say "Hi Bixby" and then "unlock", Bixby tells me to unlock the phone using my fingerprint (because I have fingerprints set up as my unlock method). Once I touch the fingerprint button, the phone unlocks and I can open apps via the WIP launcher. So Bixby isn't totally bypassing the unlock method, it's just allowing me to unlock the phone with the screen closed. I hope this clarifies the matter a little....
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That's a different story
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] M4-NOOB:
I wish there would be a way to "active" the fingerprint sensor for unlock without Bixby.... Would also solve some Google Pay issues when it asks you to unlock the phone for pricier purchases
