[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Lovemtucken:
G'day everyone, just wanted to share a way to get awesome multitasking to get a nicer experience as a "tablet".

There's an app in the Galaxy store called GoodLock.

In the app is a heap of outstanding customisation tools you'll love. One particular one is called NavStar. It replaces the taskbar at the bottom on your screen with a "Task Stack". It's essentially a long list of all your currently running apps and interaction works the same way as the default taskbar... drag and drop an app from the Task Stack to the screen.

Instead of having only 8 apps in the default taskbar, the NavStar Task Stack shows all running apps, much like a desktop computer, for a much better multitasking experience.

On the inside screen, the task stack is shown next to the nav buttons. It disappears on the cover screen and only shows the nav buttons. Then checkout the GoodLock app called HomeUp... you can customise the entire multitasking interface (I have recent apps shown in a grid).

The only downsides are you can't use nav gestures with the task stack, and there's a bug the dev needs to sort out where when you rotate the screen, the stack disappears and you have to swipe the notification centre down to show the stack again. If youre using the cover screen then unfold it, it also disappears. I have a fix for it further below.

Now there are 2 tweaks for the task stack I've sorted out. One unfortunately requires root.

The first one is to get a tablet UI. It requires rooting and installing the Magisk module MagiskHide Props Config. Using this module, you need to change the build prop "ro.build.characteristics" value from "phone" to "tablet.

This gives you the date in the statusbar, a nicer/different notification centre and probably a couple over things I haven't noticed yet.

When done, it also gives you the task stack on the cover screen... that's the biggest reason I'd say to do this mod if you root.

If you set the nav buttons on the left hand side of the screen, you will get all 3 buttons and a couple apps in the stack on the cover screen. If you set the buttons on the right, the cover screen stack will show a lot more apps but the only nav button that will show is the back button on right hand side.

To get around this (if you want your buttons on the right), I have an app called Gesture Control. This way, I can have my nav buttons on the right which then allows me to use the back button on the cover screen to go back and use swipe up gesture to go home and swipe up and hold to access recents.

I also have a macrodroid task set up to disable the gestures on the inside screen (I don't need gestures as I have the 3 buttons) and enable the gestures on the cover screen.

The second tweak is using macrodroid/tasker to fix the task stack disappearing.

I have tasks set up so when the screen is rotated or the device is unfolded, a gesture pulls the notification centre down about 100 pixels then immediately back up in 50 microseconds... this shows the stack again and the status bar has a tiny little flicker you barely notice.

It's unfortunate that this bug exists and hopefully its fixed soon because it is an awesome desktop-like experience.View attachment 5852337
