And now the warning that the launcher is not selected as a widget will ALWAYS appear when trying to exit the app, regardless of setup.

Still about 1 in 100 users submitting a one star testing feedback message that says something about not being able to find it in the widget list.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Z Flip 4 will be supported (since no changes are required) without charging more per month than PlayStation Plus. Actually, it will be supported without charging anything at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] zhangrenmin:
This software can be used on Z Flip4, and has been tested. thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It's still pretty rough, but all the README and Wiki and whatever other nonsense is being repackaged into a single website to make it easier to navigate. It should be up and running in the next day or two.

I will be going into surgery next week and may not be available for a bit during recovery, so I will try to get everything done ASAP. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project and made it possible to finally take the time off needed to breathe normally again.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Friendly reminder: Free and open-source projects typically keep their costs down by using crowd-sourced testing, bug reports, and design.

Try to keep this in mind when submitting feedback to the developers. Derogatory messages about how a paid feature is better than the free alternative is the reason you pay for access.

While many free and open-source projects do maintain a standard of quality very similar to paid alternatives, they are often underfunded and require no compensation for use of their code. This is why many free projects often have outside contribution.

Put simply, if you want to freak out that something you tried for free looks or runs a little less cleanly than something you paid to use, then kindly understand not being taken seriously.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] paul c:
Hope everything goes well, best wishes for a full recovery (y)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Thank you. It's nothing incredibly risky itself, but recovery is the whole sleep standing up and don't do anything that might be mistaken for active garbage.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
SamSprung was released one year ago today as the first app launcher for the cover screen. With nearly 2000 new downloads per version and over 800 builds released, we have reached over 1 million downloads. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] samalo22:
Hello and is it possible to activate an option to have a light notification (outline of the screen) on the small screen when you receive an sms?

thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The edge lighting only works on the internal screen, but there is an option to use the flashlight.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Just an update - surgery did not kill me and new builds should be filtering through as Google finishes reviewing them.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Are the launcher icons too small? I recently received a bug report saying they were entirely too small, but also feel like making them much larger will make the launcher seem clunky on a 1 inch screen. I run a DPI that makes anyone over 40 cringe, so I am a bit partial to smaller icons for person use. Are other people struggling with the app icons?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Google Play reviews are a little backed up, but new builds were pushed to improve the overall stability (and reliability) of removing helper views. This should solve a few of the issues with ghost screens preventing input and other bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
In response to the number of hostile emails and feedback submissions claiming I broke the app and it will only display apps in portrait, the portrait lock button now has a secondary verification that it is being enabled on purpose. Unintentionally enabling the option has proved to be the cause every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Shadow Of Leaf:
i want to ask somethings about the rearscreen

now im building pixel experience , the launcher crash when i use it to rear screen

my question how did you manage to create a launcher for 260x512 with 480dpi and is that the whole launcher or just secondary screen launcher "com.android.launcher3.secondarydisplay"
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Building firmware will be entirely different than building an app.

System decorations support | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

Display support | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

That's how it should work, but Samsung crippled all of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Shadow Of Leaf:
no im not talking about building roms leave that to me

im talking about creating a custom launcher that support the main display and the rear display

but i have this issue "width & height must be > 0" cause the aosp launcher is not created for small screen with high dpi that why it crash
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
So adapt your launcher to support smaller screens or the cover to support smaller DPI. That's part of building the ROM, so I will leave it to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Shadow Of Leaf:
ok thanks , i will try to make a smaller screen launcher as a secondary launcher cause samsung made it clear that 260x512 with 480dpi is pretty good
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
As a hardwired Galaxy Watch... actually, the Galaxy Watch 5 is 450 x 450, 321 ppi. The Flip3 cover is 302 ppi, making it worse. Galaxy Watch uses 340 dpi.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] sa-hope:
hi

when i use the camera i notice white blinking on the black frame but the picture is ok
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The camera has a legitimate cover screen version. Using the launched one is one really good for changing settings that can't access.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] sa-hope:
hi

with ui5 android 13 you can not see or read the notifications and the toggle of samsung also stop .
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Yes, this is a known issue. If Samsung ever pushes the update, it will get resolved. Unfortunately, the devices used for testing seem to be the only ones not receiving it and it's a OneUI issue, not Android 13.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] sa-hope:
I think it is not relate to samsung updates because I Delete the app and every thing is OK the notifications and the Toggles work fine
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It is the update that prevents hiding the drawer, but removing the app doesn't fix anything. It simply removes the drawer entirely. There is no need to hide something that no longer exists.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] mishlio:
Hi there, I think what sa-hope wanted to say, is that when he uninstalls the SamSprung App, the Samsung drawer on the cover screen works again(I have also the same problem, on my device the cover screen widgets are hiden too)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I understood, but it seems there is some trouble accepting that the issue is directly related to One UI 5.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] jinbewon:

A complete home experience on the cover screen

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Tetsuo1981:
Hi

Was wondering how much does the app.and the keyboard cost together? Is it a one off payment or is it subscription based like coverOS?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Launcher is free. Keyboard is $2.49 (one time).

No ads. No restrictions. Donations are optional.

A subscription for a launcher is absurd, especially when it only works with two devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Yes, I am still here and still actively updating. TooUI now supports the Oppo Find N2 Flip.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Finally fixed that obnoxious issue where the keyboard would randomly decide to expand beyond the edge of the screen, but I still can't say for sure what was causing it.

Removed the whole minimize to close idea in favor of double tapping the launcher icon from the main screen to dismiss the launcher. Still reading touch detection errors after two system updates. No idea what they did to break that, but adding a new gesture means a fix won't require any changes.

Fixed the layouts for Find N2 Flip (which has an excessively long name) and provided instructions for removing any black bars that can't be removed with launcher parameters alone.

Things have been a little nuts. I revived Thenaya, the 3DS version of TagMo and submitted a bunch of stuff to skyline, the Switch emulator. Working to fix the internal issues with Signal, despite the fact that none of it will make it into the mainstream because it won't increase subscriptions. Surgery tomorrow to make sure the last surgery was worth getting. Adopted a stray cat that thinks my car is her apartment and my subwoofer is her scratching post. Still spend every other day feeling strangled after letting more people poke me with needles than a heroin addict. But yeah...

I'm still here.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] beanbean50:
I'm looking forward to this app when the Flip 5 is released later on this year (August-ish) which apparently is coming with a much bigger 3.4-inch front screen which isn't far short from my first smartphone (HTC Desire with a 3.7-inch screen)

good luck with the surgery today, I'm sure you'll be fine!

but can't help thinking what if the last surgery wasn't worth getting? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I'm looking forward to seeing how they do with the heat issues now that Snapdragon has a whole product line made for Samsung. I wonder if it will mean all of the speed without all of the problems or just the Note 7 battery fix of capping it.

Thanks. That pretty much sums it up. They're tried so much and it's always been "well, maybe it wasn't that, but what about trying this." This is the first one where it's about "but what if that didn't take?" Then again, I was on three inhalers a day for over 4 years and they recently discovered I don't have asthma.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
They said the previous surgery held up great, so now it's just carting a box around for two days to make sure I can stop those meds, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] beanbean50:
That's good news 👍

a box? or is best I don't know?!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It's a bravo study. I had a couple sensors installed in my throat to detect reflux. It's more or less a formality because they can't officially say it isn't reflux until they prove it, even though we all agree it probably isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Maybe should try mushroom...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Mywk:
This app is absolutely great, thank you so much for the time you've spent developing it! I'll take this change to drop a question regarding the apps that open in the cover screen, is there any way to force an app to run in landscape mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
If an app forces portrait, the developers usually didn't account for landscape. This is why there is only an override for portrait. When an app forces landscape, portrait tends to still work. Unfortunately, the reverse is rarely true.

Can you share your Tasker Profile and Task. I'm using Bixby Unlock bypass process. I'd like to take a look at the Tasker bypass. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
Yes please share your profile and task thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Ptrprkr:
Anyone else either having the launcher crashing problem, or having the portrait mode success like Clusco? Twistedumbrella, I think you indicated initial success and then the crash issue. Something change? Thanks all.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
I can use YouTube no problem and it's the right rotation but when I use YouTube TV app Suddenly with your new build I installed,when I click on live TV it's not the right rotation for th coverscreen and does not play the live channel
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] igawa:
Actually it just need Auto Input app, you can download it here.

Make sure you set up Smart Unlock from settings. So now your lock screen will shown like this if Smart Unlock detected.

It requires you to swipe up to unlock the devices. But if you install Auto Input, there's an option to dismiss that keyguard.

Install it from playstore, setting it like this and bam.

Double tap on cover screen like it never locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Ptrprkr:
Got it thanks. I was trying to do an unlock without the very unreliable Samsung Smart Lock setting (which is so iffy that half the time it doesn't work). I had a great Tasker task that would extend the screen lock time to 24 hours, but that used the Tasker Secure Settings which does not seem to work on A 11. I'm trying Bixby Routines to keep the phone unlocked while on my home wifi. It's more stable that the Samsung Smart Lock setting, but still can be finicky every so often, locking the screen even though connected to wifi and not idle for 4 hours. Just wished the way Tasker worked on A 9 was the same on A 11..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
Genius autoinput works great thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] D4rk4:
Gave this a go along side the smart lock + autoinput app as mentioned above. Amazing work all round! So good to have that extra bit of functionality on the cover screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Ptrprkr:
So, I just added the key guard functionality via autoinput, using Bixby Routines to unlock on my home Wi-Fi. No swiping. Just open and it's ready to go. Super cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] D4rk4:
Have noticed something. The last app you use in the cover app won't open on the main screen. You have to clear the recent apps to get the app to work again on the main screen. Minor annoyance, just thought I'd share.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Ptrprkr:
Hmmm. This isn't happening with my phone. The last app I used on the cover screen is already open, when I open the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] D4rk4:
The apps not always open on mine. Im using nova launcher. Not sure if that's the issue?

When the apps already open, if i close it, go back to the homepage and then try to open it again using the app icon on homepage/drawer, it won't load that way either.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Ptrprkr:
Now even more strange. I'm using Nova also (7). Anything I launch on the outer screen is still open when I flip open the phone (I actually wish there was a way to use and close from the outer screen), but I'm not having the issue of the app not being able to be opened once I open the phone. I do have recent apps turned off, so I don't see the 2nd Nova screen, so that's the only difference I see.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] D4rk4:
Hmm. Ok thanks. It's definitely intermittent. I will keep playing with it. See if I recreate it more regularly.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Take a minute and read the first page of the thread. It's well documented
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] D4rk4:
Aha. So the intermittent nature of the bug is potentially dependant on the app that has been opened? Gotcha. Sorry missed the first page. Thanks 👍
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Chestburster107:
I'm having some difficulty getting it to work. I have uninstalled Samsung health and disabled fingerprint, pin, ect.

After that when I try to use it the screen is just black and doesn't show me anything. I have toggled for the app to appear on the cover screen through the settings app. I also tried to see if trying to add the widget through the cover screen will work and it doesn't appear there. Even when making sure I have it toggled off in settings page it still doesn't appear on the widget page on the cover screen.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app a few times now and still can't figure it out. I even doubled check to see if Samsung health didn't reinstalled itself and it hasn't.

So I'm not sure on what to do
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nirurin:
I'm loving the work being done here, the cover sceen for the flip seems like it could have a lot of potential. It's basically a large watch screen, so I dont know why they didn't implement a full wearOS implementation for it in the first place!

Curious to know what apps/widgets people have been running on the cover screen with this, that have been particularly useful?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
A logcat may help here. If you can launch the app itself, it has the option to save one to /sdcard/Android/data/com.sec.android.shealth/files

That would hugely limit it. It's a secondary display. They just locked the launcher to their own. Hopefully, they'll remove that lock at some point.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nirurin:
Oh I think I said that without being clear - I meant that I wished the front screen had a wearOS style launcher, able to run and control apps from the phone from the front screen. Knowing samsungs track history, I very much doubt they'll unlock it themselves (at least not until a new phone release).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It would likely be just a modified Settings.apk to unlock it. Haven't looked into it because I can't root my phone quite yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Chestburster107:
I have figured it out after a hour of messing with settings and all that jazz.

I disabled the security of the phone a few more times and got it to show up and work finally.

Now the next hurdle is trying to figure out a way to keep the security enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] tornado89:
Perfect project !

I'm having an issue. I can only see 6 apps, sorted alphabetically when I lunch the phone app. This restricts me from hiding unwanted apps. Is anyone else suffering from this issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It doesn't seem like the tests to bypass the rotation issues really improved anything, so they've been reverted for now. Instead, the widget itself has been blocked from rotation updates. This shouldn't have any impact on apps it launches.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gilg@mesh:
anyone else have to press the apps few times before they launch? it's very rare that apps launch on first press. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Swipe up or down before launching an app. It's an issue with the widget onUpdate not being called when they are first displayed. Samsung wants a proprietary launcher, but didn't make a good one.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gilg@mesh:
great thank you, hopefully next Flip phone will get bigger outer display, this is useful when not needing the bigger screen, but I noticed some apps launch but closes almost immediately, nothing to be done there I guess?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Details are posted. It's half the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nirurin:
The cover screen is so close to being a killer feature, but its just too closed down. Like even at stock being able to swipe and read messages is great, but you cant -delete- emails only archive them, and you can't reply to whatsapp messages without opening the phone.

Even watches now have keyboards. In theory I could get a galaxy watch 4 to go with this but then... whats the point in having the cover screen at all anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The cover screen itself and Android 10+ support a full secondary launcher and full functionality. Samsung opted for an integrated launcher and limited widget support. I hope it is only temporary, but this project is an attempt to push the limits of widgets to give back at least some of that functionality. Unfortunately, certain things are beyond the scope of a widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nirurin:
Dont get me wrong, you're doing great work, I cant wait to see what people manage to do with this!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gilg@mesh:
you can reply to whatsapp message with voice, I tried and it works. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Ptrprkr:
So, portrait apps will launch once, during when they can be used. Once you close the launcher, it requires a reboot of the phone, to get the launcher back. Again, only for portrait only apps. Not crazy about using them in portrait mode anyway, so just commenting on the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nirurin:
I assume only with the samsprung launcher version of whatapp? And not the default notification?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The notifications on the cover are similar to those no the lock screen. I have not checked, but it may be possible to get full notifications with some setting for privacy, but they prompt opening the phone to respond.

There is no alternate version of apps created by the launcher, but it does run in a separate process to prevent being automatically killed off my memory management. Other apps may inherit the process. This helps to reduce the need for any special battery optimization settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] nirurin:
Sorry, probably another example of me not knowing the right terminology. I wonder how someone was replying to whatsapp messages from the cover using voice, without having it require the phone to be open. I assumed it was opening whatsapp as a different widget, instead of the notification panel.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gilg@mesh:
yes open whatsapp through external display and choose the microphone inside the chat.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cujoe31:
Would anyone know or try to see if gpay or Samsung pay would still work? Since you need to disable swipe etc to get into the phone? Also even if it needed to be disabled on the phone would it work on the galaxy watch as you can still set a swipe or password to get into the watch to use gpay or Samsung pay. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks cujoe
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gilg@mesh:
Samsung Pay works like normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] cujoe31:
Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
We're going to see if detecting the fold state instead of the small flicker between one screen turning off and the other turning on will give better results with handling the display target for apps.

I believe one of the issues is that if the cover times out, it is still attempting to reset the app to "normal" views and the other is that opening the phone fast enough is not giving the app enough of a trigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
I don't know if this helps at all, but I can trigger an action in Tasker when opening or closing the device.

I use an Event Profile ( filtering a logcat entry) to recognize open/close and the associated action is to make a beep sound (which works both when I open and close the flip)

EDIT: forgot to add, interestingly, when phone is open and I press power button to screen off, my profile works and the beep action works, same when I press power button to turn screen on with phone lid open. (And the beep works with the lid closed when I press power button on/off ie one press or 2 presses )
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF

That's the same one currently being used, but it's not the most reliable.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] DjLiby:
Im not a DEV, but is it maybe possible to look at Motorola Razr cover screen source code?

It is also handle like second screen for Android.
