With kgh11120126's find, this (at least for me) is a good step forward. I don't have to remove the unlock method to use the launcher. I was trying to find a way to unlock the phone with the screen closed but never thought about Bixby (I've never really used Bixby or Google assistant on any device up until now). My goal was to work around having to remove my lock method to use the launcher. Good find, kgh11120126. Also, some of my apps are set up to require unlocking via my fingerprint before using. These apps function on the cover screen the same way they do on the main display (they open after I unlock them with my fingerprint). So security on the cover screen doesn't appear to be an issue at all.

I'm gonna at some part start fiddling around to see if I can find and install a third party pop-up keyboard or speech-to-text app that I can open (perhaps via Bixby now that my eyes are open to the possibility) over an existing app on the cover display. If I find a work-around to be able to type or use speech-to-text on the cover screen, then I will basically have all the functionality that I need on the cover screen. As mentioned in an earlier message, I can already use speech-to-text within any app that has the mic button built into the app itself (for example, the search bar on my internet browser has the mic button so I can tap it, speak and it fills the search tab).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The IME (functionality) is disabled in the system. It's not that it doesn't work. It's explicitly being blocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] markwebb:
The launcher widget apk won't install and I have Samsung health uninstalled.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The best I can say with that is try again with a new build.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NguyenHuu:
Is the reason the health app is uninstalled because it has an exploit or can any of the others be uninstalled too like weather? Reason is for those with the watch, we sort of need the health app but we may not need the built in basic weather app since we can other weather apps.

Just curious, this is a great project.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Samsung Health is a user app. Weather doesn't have an app drawer uninstall option.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
Voice Recorder does ...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] CarudiBu:
Yes, but unfortunately Voice Recorder doesn't work because the app is signed by the platform key. The settings app only allows custom widgets from apps that are either system apps, signed by the platform key, or on a special package name allow list. Samsung Health is the only app on the allow list and is the only app the system only checks the package name for and not the signature.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
^ That's too bad. I will not get rid of S Health.

Cool anyway - thanks for trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] tausift0:
@darkidz555 I think he may help here because he rooted the device already.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
So the issue may not be limitations from the second screen configuration. Samsung has included a second screen launcher in the firmware. Much like OneUI Home can be replaced, it could support a custom launcher without Samsung's changes. Instead, they've added a widget panel to Settings that filters out their approved widgets on their own default launcher without any options to swap it.

This is both good and bad. It is good that Samsung has not made some proprietary implementation that can never become anything more. It's bad because they've laced it into the firmware and made easily replacing it a difficult process.

This means custom firmware could easily open up adding custom launchers to the second screen. It may also mean that stock builds are stuck with Samsung's "Android Wear" launcher until they decide to allow replacement. Judging by their proprietary meta-data tags, it would appear they have no intention of opening it up to custom apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Newest build seems to kill apps after 3 seconds. Something with trying to make the view configurable broke the widget update process.

If it comes down to it, what's the general preference? List, grid, or separate builds for each?

Options were added and fixed. Available by launching the app
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NguyenHuu:
Grid would look nicer I think, but if it's not too much work separate for those that like options.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Seems that wasn't the cause. Now I'm not sure what happened...

... and it fixed itself just as randomly as it started happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
Yeah, the rotation modes don't seem to work on some apps, I believe because they are hard coded portrait. I just tried to rotate IG on main screen, no rotate.

I'm amazed yours even rotated on cover screen to landscape. Try clear cache and data and reinstall ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
Only issue I am experiencing is that it always only works once.

Launch an app and go back, no SamSprung until screen off/on.

Hide the navbar, no SamSprung until screen off/on.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
I have a problem sometimes when I go on certain apps it goes to a black screen so then I have then I reboot my phone and the apps work
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
You don't really have to reboot your phone, though. Just open recents and close the app. It sounds like the app being launched is crashing before this one gets to reset the task.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
Nope still doing it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That's an issue with your firmware or the app then. Clearing an app from recent resets it. Normally, that is handled by the screen off or opening. If manually clearing it doesn't work, the issue is beyond the launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
If you install the version where the menu is blank, update. Stupid compatibility changes had undocumented requirements.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Scaling enhancement is done. Toggle in the app settings.

The app icons will remain the same, but the menus and text will zoom

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] internetdude01:
Just tried the latest build - it force closes immediately, even with all the permissions allowed (accessibility included).

I'm on the Flip 3, Android 12, version SamSprung-09688ce-signed
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Update
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] internetdude01:
SamSprung-88149eb gives a black screen, but does not force close. Even with a clean install and all permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
5dcd4a8, not 88149eb
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] internetdude01:
SamSprung-5dcd4a8 is working, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
If you have a random issue (not a clear crash - one that pops up) and don't fill in the description, there is a good chance I will have no idea what we are looking at.

Note to Samsung Pay users: swipe from the very bottom of the cover to open the menu. Aim about a quarter of the way up to open Samsung Pay. If you open Pay accidentally, swipe down to close it. It gets easier with practice, but they can coexist.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
now more smooth and no more issue to click even after retract navigation bar on portrait. love it!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
I know why I was getting a black screen is because I had lockscreen set to swipe instead of none it would be great if we could have a password on it but think that would be too much to ask or to hard to make on the small screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] mirkol78:
I love the evolution of the app! Great job...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
like it very much, but the apps are very big! And not in the middle but that will surely come. Keep it up
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Snurrea:
Great job

It's just getting better everyday !!!

It would be nice with the possibility to add shortcuts/widgets to run macro's from Macrodroid, Tasker, Shortcut Maker and similar

But again really good Work

Love it
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Maintaining a collection of third-party integrations is a bit outside the scope of a free launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
Noticed that newer versions are way smoother, pretty nice!

Not sure about this though, icons got really weird on most recent update (7d6fdd1), if I set "scale cover" to on and "nav only" to false, then it works fine, other setups are giving me this kind of screen:

(yes this is a cover screenshot, its reaally weird)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Yes, but it is also an incomplete feature and the update is only an hour old.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The next update to fix that is building now. Unfortunately, my time gets spread between this, TagMo, and the issue reporting backend that is in both of them. The core of that thing was great, but it was very basic and that has revealed a lot of issues with "modern users"

Edit: well, actually the NEXT one after the one that posted about the same time I posted this.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] pitflyer:
I got the latest update and running on OneUi 4.0, using the 'Bixby' work around to keep my lock on otherwise. I also disabled Samsung Pay swipe so it doesn't interfere. After I turn on the cover screen I am supposed to swipe up from the bottom to get to the SamSprung launcher, right? I do see 'Samsprung' listed there so its definitely running, but I can't do anything with it. IE I have the '3 lines, Home, Back' button but I can't seem to actually get Samsprung Home to open.

Do I just need swiping school 101 or what am I missing? Thanks.

Idiot proof nice
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Not in the least
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] G Haschich:
I might have rushed the testing a bit? lol sorry

Just wanted to say I fixed all my issues, they were related with "windowed mode", I just had to disable some developer options related to multiwindow

Now this is working soooo perfectly for my use cases, thanks A LOT for your work
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Ended up down a bit of a rabbit hole. I was just trying to fix the scaling and ended up reworking all the transitions to make sure looping in circles would still come out where it was expected.

There are two ways to go about fixing the multiwindow issue. The first is to allow multiple tasks, which is what CommonsWare suggests on StackOverflow. For anyone that knows anything about his answers, they are the literal recitation of what the documentation says and do not account for any unintended outcomes. This was the same thing we did in the widget because the widget ended up killing the tasks. The end result without widget suicide is about 10 copies of Gmail in your recents.

The other way is to try to reset all the parameters already set with the app when it's launched. This is the one we are trying now.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Updating the second they come out is perfectly fine. It beats the people who FREAK OUT and come to find they are 10 versions behind. I was just saying that sometimes things manage to pass through testing because I ran them once and not 20 times before pushing them out, but the other 19 are that first hour. The weird scaling happened when that view was launched from one specific call that wasn't the one I tested.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] pitflyer:
Thanks for the wiki which was an ELI5 but I needed it. It works for me now!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Glad to hear it works. The flood of reports it broke when the new layout released made the wiki somewhat necessary. It hasn't done much to slow them down, but it beats pasting all that multiple times a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Scaling just the nav bar may not work out as planned. Looks like the notification bar gets dragged into it no matter what and the alternative is that bloated explosion.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
Ok i have found a way to have a lookscreen with a password and able to use the apps on the cover screen without unlocking download Black hole from the playstore and then make sure it isn't checked in samsprung because if it is you can disable the lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Raising the bar a little further...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Dumped scaling just the menu and instead worked out a cleaner notification panel. Home works without Accessibility, but back performs system-level stuff that cannot be accomplished with magic and tasking.

Now that we know we are driving development for the entire device, I guess the only thing to do is keep coming up with more ridiculous features. Here I thought I was going to coast for a little.

Seems like most of the functionality stuff is in place to start making things "pretty" and whatnot.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Adding themes would be fun, but Material You (and the previous iterations of color schemes) are only really good for theming the title bar, since most content is provided by your installed apps.

Nobody cares about that. We care about theming the NAVIGATION BAR. Yes, that is the newest update. Fully configurable navigation bar. No themes, just plain old color bars. Let's call it "Material Too"
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
Looks like any custom lookscreen works also I like the new update
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] carortruck80:
Hey Twisted, silly question. I frequently lock my phone in portrait, but keep finding it unlocked. Then I tried locking it to portrait, opening samsprung on the cover, didn't open an app, just envoked it, and then flipped open and the orientation was unlocked again.

Is this something that can be remedied or part of the way it works for the landscape mode on the coverscreen?

Btw: Absolutely loving the progression on this. Amazing work and amazing addition to this device. The way it was meant to be in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Screenshot came out only black image...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Seems it didn't change displays, but if that's the worst thing happening...

Sounds like a good day
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Can't put the permissions as one of the menu in the 3 dots..? Of course will allow permission.. as of now, not touching permissions area at all too.. Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Huh? I don't follow?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
Should have a choice on where the nav bar is so like on the right or left hand side or at the bottom
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Doesn't seem worth the amount of code and instability

Besides, the system nav bar is always on the bottom of the current view orientation. It's supposed to replicate that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
ok i see what you mean
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It is a good idea (and I did experiment with it), but it turned into a mess without making it something that could be dragged around at runtime.

A lot of the layouts for the current setup are based on where it fits over most apps and how it will work with their UI. It is really hard to drag a view around that is fundamentally non-existent until it's opened (and when it's open, that is a lot of overhead to move it).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] blade1500:
OK 👍 I understand
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I apologize to everyone that gets how the app works, but we will need a little "demo" on the first launch (and it won't know you've had a previous one until you see it) that shows it's an overlay. 5 reports a day that it isn't in the widget list is a little much.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NyaBentley:
I downloaded the most recent Samsprung-ToolUI from github and installed it. I gave it all the permissions it asked for, including overlay, but whenever I close my phone and check the screen, all I see are my regular widgets I have android 12. Is there anything I'm missing? Do I need to download the previous version for Android 11 along with the latest one to make it work?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
Wow, what a difference a few days made. Love it. Intuitive, stabile and great features. Truly what should have been there from the start by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] pitflyer:
Cool little keyboard, will wait to see what the use case for it is. The wiki was very helpful for me to understand how to operate this, and I've been using it a lot, especially for the low low price of free. Many thanks to to the developer for continuing to push out updates at a dizzying pace, each of them incrementally better. :)

For me, once I enabled Samsung Pay on the cover screen I still have troubles distinguishing between the swipe up to start SamSprung and the swipe up for Samsung Pay. I believe it's based on where you start the swipe but at least half the time I get it wrong, especially when I'm trying to pay and instead swipe up Samsprung.

Is it possible (as an option of course, not for all since not everybody uses Samsung Pay) to have the Samsprung Launcher have a button to go to the Samsung Pay on the cover screen? If not possible or not worth it, completely understand, but just asking.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
If I try enter text (in WhatsApp or Telegram for example) by bringing up the keyboard, it looks like this....

Reinstalled and rebooted and tried different scaling, no joy... (7fef663)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:
On homescreen, though, if I just tap keyboard icon, it looks like this...

I've read the wiki but didn't see anything on how else to use the keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Snurrea:
Yeah I can see that, but it's not what I meant

I'm not a developer or something, it was just the possibillity to ad a shortcut on the coverscreen like on homescreen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I'll look into it after the current endeavor
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
This is probably the most tedious thing that's been done in this project and that includes everything from the original widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] kashortiexda:

Keyboard scaling better on a Telegram message example.

Keyboard not responsive to touch, not accepting text input yet.

No message in text box after "typing"

Just feedback, no response expected, understand it's in development and "not yet" ready

In theory, I could also make a standalone keyboard that would work with any launcher. It isn't necessarily locked to the design of this one.

Yes not working
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NguyenHuu:
Confirmed latest version SamSprung-8cf8302 crashes too in android 12. There is no force close message, it just immediately closes itself. It happens after allowing the first two permissions when you first install and open the app.

Widget support is about halfway done.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] crawls69:
latest build installing just fine. No error messages, everything working as normal...

looks like the placeholder screen for widget support is in place. From the app list page, swiping to the right brings up a blank screen (I'm guessing that would be the widget screen). From that blank screen, swiping to the left takes you back to the app list and swiping to the right from that blank screen take you to the native cover screen OS. It's progress!! It's insane how much work has been done on this free app. And that's why I keep making small donations to this project. It's well worth it to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It's a mess at the moment. I started with the Android stock launcher to work back to a widget page and that was a mistake. For how anal they get about apps people submit, Android Studio lights their source up like Christmas. Had to dump that and write it from scratch.
