[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] lupin1292:
First, thanks to @twistedumbrella for the amazing tool. For little usages here and there such as music player, mobile games (Cookie run kingdom), and QR codes, the outer launcher is a super. Hope Samsung doesn't block this in upcoming security patches, as this seems like a great way to make the Flip's outer screen useful... Just a first step.

One thing i wanna share with the lock screen bypass (i would say 'unlocking' is more approrpiate) is as below

Same here. In order to access emails and work messenger, i need to have the work account and the lock screen set-up. However, as some users stated in previous comments, Bixby could be utilized to unlock without accessing the main screen. One thing that I found addtionally is that the previous comments said you would need to speak to Bixby in order to perform unlocking (Hi Bixby - Unlock.) But what i found is you can simply use the fingerprint scan to unlock in the outer screen after enabling bixby, without saying 'Hi Bixby - unlock.' In my case, i started enabling Bxiby by saying 'Hi Bixby' but now I just long press power button to call out Bixby and then it read my fingerprint to unlock. (Whether you long press power button or call out bixby in order to enable bixby does not matter - your preference. I personally just thought having to speak to Bixby every single time was troublesome, rather than using hardware keys or something. ) Then i can utilize the Launcher to open apps immediately, as i used registered unlcoking methods to unlock the lockscreen.. Hope this help some other people out there. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] TNTRMSKD:
I'm running the sideActions app that lets me remap power and vol buttons, but it overlays and disables bixby. Good thought tho for people who do use bixby.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] lupin1292:
Hey same here. So i reset it from Full Remapping to Soft/Half? (forgot what its called) mapping lolz. The button is def less responsive, but the launcher gives more than that ;) Up to user's preference tho!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] M4-NOOB:
This is great thanks! Looks like I need to reinstall Bixby then. The though of having to speak to Bixby made me not wanna use the unlock thingy for the launcher, but with the long press I can actually use the launcher then
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NguyenHuu:
It's happening to me too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I believe the latest build fixes it permanently. It seemed to be a random issue with some instances, but now the app launches like a legitimate launcher, which should solve the task parenting.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] NguyenHuu:
Just tried the latest, it seems to still be some issues. I tried random selection of apps. Chrome and samsung internet browser both closed, but gallery and reddit stayed opened. Maybe it's memory issue, some apps requires more than others?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Shouldn't be an issue. The cover is just a second screen, not a separate processor.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] ryutsuki1:
I'm not sure what the issue is but I've downloaded every version of the Samsprung Launcher and it won't let me install it. Samsung Health is uninstaller and Sub-UI Browser works just fine. I've restarted the device and also enabled developer options but so far no luck. Doesn't seem like anyone else has had the same issue though.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Why does Samsung Health have to be uninstalled?

It has to be uninstalled because the phone only allows certain packages to be used with the cover screen. Samsung Health is a user app, which means it can be removed without root. This allows another app to spoof the package and widget names and appear on the cover screen.

So, now that you know how it works... The issue is that you already have a "Samsung Health" installed. They use different signatures, so it's like any other app. You can't install one signed by someone else with a different one already installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] ryutsuki1:
Sorry typo- Samsung Health has been uninstalled!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Take a minute and read over what you posted and the explanation. You uninstalled Samsung Health and already replaced it with another "Samsung Health" package.

If you need confirmation, run logcat while attempting the install. You will likely see an error message about signature mismatch or incompatible versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] ryutsuki1:
I got it now thanks so much! It runs perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] beanbean50:
did you get hold of that file in the end
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
When I started refactoring the stock launcher into a collection of widget pages, my base was the ORIGINAL launcher (as in pre-resize) and so pretty much the entire thing is useless. It was a neat proof of concept, anyway.

Ironically, the widget panels page is technically a full launcher in itself, though. It's just missing all the stuff for shortcuts and the app drawer.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Have to wonder if Google writes their apps in Notepad and then hits ignore all to inspection
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
GM really good work and appreciate it as always

Couple of things,

On the last iteration on the GITHUB ... 6fa2efc,I noticed that the swipe up to see the app window does not work very easy, i have to tap , turn off screen and then see the white line and tap again to turn off screen and then tap to see white line and swipe up to see apps?

Second when I click on Beta Button what does that do?

Third I asked before not sure you answered but if I want to do a clean install, how can i back up my selections of apps in the buttons of apps I chose so that I can simply do a clean install, import a file and my choices will always be saved so that I don't have to go through the list again one by one again?

I know its all a WIP but wanted to let you know about some items that maybe you already working on

If you have time to respond with your ideas or comments really appreciate it

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The beta release option is for WIP builds.

PSA: Widgets are broken. I know they're broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Widget support is slowly being added back in. Rather than adding a widget to a screen, the plan is to add a screen to a widget. Like everything else, it's going in reverse.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The first run of the new widget support will hit the beta channel shortly.

Edit: The first run of the new widget design is now live in all channels.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That was when I updated all of the stuff for Google's backup and restore because it had changed for Android 12. It's handled by Google Play Services automagically.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
thanks for the update, but i am still not sure how to backup my choices of apps to show so that I can do fresh install and not have to re-choose again, on a fresh install...thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
Refresh it doesn't stop anymore what's going on there
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] chopped0815:
It just wants to update and won't stop anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Not sure if it is misreading it as a device transfer, so we'll include that
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Revision 3 of the widgets (aka the one that all this has been working towards) is on the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Revision 3 is up as a preview. Need to run some extra tests before it hits mainstream. Every widget will be scaled to the screen and scrollable like the stock widget offering. I can't promise they'll all look perfect, but I can promise they won't follow a uniform scale, so they adapt.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
ok really dumb question I am sure

But which one should I download from https://github.com/SamSprung/SamSprung-TooUI/releases

to get the Revision 3 to try out and should I always click on the Preview Build button in the app to get the latest

I want to make sure I have the most current iteration on my phone correctly

Thank you as always!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
In the app, enable the preview builds to update from the pre-releases. From the page, use the orange tagged "pre-release" versions to install the preview fresh.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Dr.Lost:
Correct me if I am wrong, I recognize the layout of the widget page app/widget picker as android 4?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
That would be launcher 2. The initial test layout was launcher (1)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I guess I should probably push some of the progress to the mainstream, since that was more or less ripped out and replaced
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Need to run about 50 more tests, but I think I found the issue with some taps making the bar go missing. That one has annoying me for about a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The build that should be filtering through to the mainline soon is a big one. The drawer now kicks open by default. I honestly feel it is mostly stable for normal use.

Just to recap for those that had trouble with the link:
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I was enabling wireless debugging and noticed something... If you go into the Developer Options and scroll to the bottom of the debugging section, there is an option to allow overlays over the Settings app.

This presents some risk for untrustworthy apps to interact with your device settings and should only be enabled if you trust all apps with overlay permission.

That fixes one of the things that breaks navigation. Now to find a solution for the others...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Day by day its running to perfection 🏃 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Not all notification quick actions will work as support gets added.

Updates no longer prompt to install on their own. It's now a notification. The build number will also turn red if an update is available and clicking it will prompt the install.

Also, the issue reporter feature was not removed. It is the ONLY feature in the entire app that is only available to donators. Everyone else still gets a logcat saved to their download folder. The difference is having it automatically generate a GitHub issue. While I really don't like the idea of having to put even a pay fence (smaller than a wall) in the app, it stopped the 10 issues a day from usernames, such as sdkfhdkfjdfk, reporting sdkfhsdkfjdfkj(... until hitting 50).
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
Fantastic updates lately. This has now IMO opinion become the must-have app no. 1 for the Z flip.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Finally added a privacy policy specific to this application, since the one that appears on Google Play is actually just a boilerplate. Google had an issue with past policies because they didn't say "Privacy Policy" in the text and the name "Google" wasn't included to let them know it was for them specifically. Some of the requirements... just... yeah

Privacy Policy

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
Really good work, Widgets working pretty well

But a question, when I am on the Widget page how do I return to the app launcher or even the home screen on the display, I tried all kinds of swipes and nothing gets me there

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
We're trying something a little different. The menu will open when the screen comes on for an intentional launch, such as having the cover closed and tapping the power button. The menu will stay closed when it was not an intentional launch, such as something pops up and you respond to it by turning the screen on. There are cases that don't fit both of them, but filtering out too many unintentional launches seems better than not filtering enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Figured out why the keyboard wasn't appearing for search. Fixing that up shortly.

and just a reminder that you do NOT uninstall Samsung Health anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Azndarklord:
Apologies if this is a stupid question but for some of my apps, the screen completely blanks out and is unusable. Like for Google maps, after I select a route and hit start the screen disappears. Not like it shuts off, it just shows a blank screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
Sounds great. I was having quite the trouble turning off an alarm with the previous behaviour :D

What about double tapping the screen? IMO it makes good sense that the power button launches SamSprung but double tapping is for quick access to the stock info/widgets.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The wording may have been misleading. It's not detecting the button. It's trying to separate reactive from proactive enabling of the cover, in general.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Just did a fresh install and it looks like it's holding the settings now. Apparently it was treating a reinstall as a device transfer. Good to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Looking into adding t9 to use the old number pad style keyboard for search.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Ended up down a rabbit hole. The number pad style keyboard got added without predictive text, but notifications now support reply with text entry when available.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Changes to the documentation:

Swipes clear the search, but don't remove it.

Notification click actions have been swapped to favor actions.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Bear with me as the code gets filled in, but if you see the toggles in the app settings, they are not toggles. It is the option to display the toggle or not in the cover menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
really great additions

On the launcher showing automatically instead of swipe up can you make that an option toggle too whereby we have a choice, I personally like swiping up to get to launcher menu, rather that it just happen automatically, and if it does to close it I have to click on side button and woudl rather swipe down to return to original cove screen

Again really appreciate the updates its getting so much more smoother and better every build and day!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I'm not entirely fond of how unreliable the flags are, so it'll probably go back to closed by default. Seems like it doesn't come up after a long pause and then randomly comes up on messages. Since it keeps the screen on, I woke up to a near dead phone. Kinda the opposite of "low impact"
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] dallasnights:
ya last night for me I put on my wireless charged went to sleep and woke up a few hours later and looked at my charger and BOOM, there was the cover launcher in its bright and beautiful glory on

So that is my main contention for a swipe up like it was before and not automatic ...again thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I think the cover supports the day / night theme changes, but only in certain contexts. Interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] luigi90210:
The app worked better when the app drawer didn't automatically open when I turn on my screen

this is now effectively killing my battery way faster than it used to thanks to my phone being on in my pocket with an app opened
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] luigi90210:
He talking about the app drawer

I can't even roll back to an earlier version because I don't know what version didn't include that stupid "feature" without forcing itself to update
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
d153ca0: Revert to drawer collapsed for all wake actions - 2 hours ago

lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] luigi90210:
It still auto opens for me, all 3 of the posted downloads all auto open the app drawer when I turn on my screen, whether it's a double tap or I press the power button on, lock screen enabled or bypassed via smart unlock

Edit

I just took a logcat within the app, hopefully that has some helpful info as what's happening

Edit 2

The app after I force closes it now won't auto open when I first turn on the screen, but the minute I open the app drawer, I can't close it and the app drawer starts auto opening again
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Is your screen wet? The log doesn't have any obvious red flags, but it's possible the gesture area is getting triggered by moisture. It's set to not be too sensitive because it's the size of about two of that little colored bar that appears.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I've never seen it happen, but I also have to wonder if somehow the orphaned service from the previous version kept running or got inherited by the update. If that's the case, toggling the overlay permission off and back on should perform a hard reset.

That reminded me, the whole app really doesn't need to start back up on an update. It should really kick right into the service.

I guess I should put a voice keyboard in there to go with the regular one. Bixby is a great option, but the more I look at it, the more I cringe at the amount of data they collect. Seems to be the downfall to every option.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Added a voice option to the predictive keyboard testing it out now

Edit: So that works...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Keyboard, still sometimes Samsprung Keyboard became default when using in open screen...

Somehow bring the app drawer, it stay there forever.. I forgot to off the screen.. it didn't gone by itself..

Each update cause widget
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Working on the keyboard transitions and stability now. I was trying to break free of needing the default at all.

As for the widgets, the scale kept getting broken depending on how the page was opened. Removing and replacing them should fix it and they should hold moving forward.

Edit: reworked the keyboard again and haven't been able to default back to Samsung, so hopefully that's at least 80% better.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Apparently the app is back to starting up with the drawer closed if the reports that it doesn't work have started up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I think we've run out of useful new features to add without cleaning up the existing ones. I'd love to make that sound tedious, but the reality is that I'll be looking for new features to add by the weekend.

... assuming there isn't another internet outage...

Roadmap -

Fix keyboard transitions and attempt to reconnect the keyboard to the cover after bypassing restrictions

Add the animations and junk that makes the keyboard feel separate from the app views

Improve notification stability and interaction.

Make all the actions work as intended, possibly with the brief actions

Clean up the widget interface and make it feel more integrated and less like a separate module

Cleaner transitions
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
By the way, the new widget thread that popped up also applies here. It's hard to be unbiased when you're trying to sell something, but they're generic widgets.

... which is a great segue into saying the widget options are now a pull up menu to keep with the rest of the underlying theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I can't find a countdown timer that works and doesn't look terrible, but there is a big announcement coming at midnight PST.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
Uh, exciting :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
10 hours remaining, so let's start this party off with another big announcement -

GitHub - SamSprung/SamSprung: Z Flip 3 Launcher: An innovation in cover screen apps

Z Flip 3 Launcher: An innovation in cover screen apps - GitHub - SamSprung/SamSprung: Z Flip 3 Launcher: An innovation in cover screen apps

github.com

As promised, the project has restored full transparency.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
It's looking like I picked the worst day to set a schedule for announcing anything, so we are going to throw all that out and just announce it now -

The keyboard has been branched off from the main app and will be releasing as a standalone cover screen keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The source is out for the version of the keyboard that is included now. The code that makes it possible is licensed for use in virtually anything with the stipulation that it says where it came from. I hope I don't end up regretting that.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Clusco:
Superb! Love it!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Eh, I guess I wasn't as far off schedule as I thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Respectful:
Hi,

Very grateful to you. Should I download the "Latest" or the "Pre-Release" from Github please?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Latest are the builds that have been somewhat tested. Pre-release are the ones where code was just submitted and even I haven't really tested.

I'll be pulling the keyboard out of the main SamSprung app in the next version, but it will offer to install the other app. It works much better as a standalone keyboard app than it ever did or will as an addon.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Respectful:
Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
https://xdaforums.com/t/samsprung-ime-cover-screen-keyboard.4401789/
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
The keyboard is now separate. Clicking the keyboard button in settings will download and install the newest version and then the keyboard app will manage its own updates from there.

As I posted in the other thread, this opens up a ton of potential. What was just a secondary feature can now be much more.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Not even a thank you...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] crawls69:
With all the action that's usually happening on this thread it's quite strange that it went quiet for this long especially after a big change. Not even a complaint (there's usually always a complaint as no good deed shall go unpunished).

Anyway, I posted a message yesterday evening on the new Samsprung keyboard thread (along with a donation). I'm not trying to be a cheerleader but the Z Flip 3 is definitely better as a result of the Samsprung launcher/keyboard and we should at least make a contribution for all the work done on this project up until now. Hit the PayPal donate button or at least purchase the $1 Google Play keyboard release. If we bought this expensive phone, $1 is probably not gonna hurt us. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I took yesterday off. Well, mostly. I have been getting caught up in trying to rival something that is fundamentally the result of my own work. I was starting to forget why I started this project and the actual purpose of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I promise there is still plenty going on.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] Gunde:
Thank you! :)

Don't sweat it. It's the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I didn't like how rigid the transition was from the app drawer to the widgets, so I threw it all out and started over.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
I'm a little off my game today having the flu (that thing people got before everything was covid), but it's finally done.

I tossed the entire widget activity and turned the app drawer into a slider. If you click the widget quick toggle, you add a widget. The app takes you to the new page once it's created.

If you open the drawer on a widget page, it's a delete button. Click it and the widget is deleted (and you go to the previous page).

Future versions will include a better way to add widgets from the page you're on to insert them in the middle and then long pressing the widget itself will delete it. This is just the setup.

I'm a bit delirious and randomly passed out writing the backend. I woke up yelling that I would murder shoes. I hope I like how this turns out tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
Ok, so to avoid messing with widget functionality, it is a long click on the menu button. Click to add, hold to delete.
