This is the original Link to a working TouchFlo (Alpha) I am currently testing on the Athena using VGA 96 DPI and the AP/PK's latest v2.0. I have included a zip folder of selected screen shots. I first found this link outside the forum, then learned that other devices on the forum are already working with it.
The program is installed via two CAB files, one installs Adobe FlashLite, the other is Szabi CubeLauncher. Perform a soft reset after loading. Launching is currently to a 'Home Screen' Start>Programs>CubeLaunch. The home background is a bit suggestive, so if you would like to avoid that image, copy the attached bg.jpg to Program Files>Szabi>CubeLauncher and over write the existing file. It can be any 240x320 jpg you prefer.
When you install the CubeLauncher, you also get a CubeConfig program which lets you customize any of the 5 faces of the 'Cube' which is relally a 5-sided prism or polyhedron. Screen shots of each face are included along with one transitional rotation captured.
TouchFlo has been on of the hottest topics around the forum with nearly every device scrambling to cook it into ROMS. Up to now, cooking was necessary as the base applications from the HTC Touch are dll driven. Since this application is Flash(tm) enabled, there is no need for booting with the dll's.
Launching from the home screen is much like the HTC Touch, with an UPWARDS swipe of the finger from the bottom or middle part of the screen. Sides are rotated forward and back with sideways swipes as you would intuitively expect. You can also open and close the cube with a single stylus poke in the bottom center of the screen. Close from the home screen by touching the lower right signal bar.
The first page is a 6 application program launcher followed by a twelve slot phone contacts photo gallery on page two. Page three is a 6 app media page while page four is primarily for MS Office Apps. Page five is yours to play with.
The developer's web site is in Chinese, but the translation indicates that trials of the demo and feedback are welcomed. You can download the demo at the following Link: Http://rapidshare.com/files/54065589/Szabi-CubeLauncherICON.rar
It is not a finished work (yet) but it is getting close. Please provide your thoughts and interest so the the Project Team can assess wether or not to work on this for our devices. As you will see, we can easily do more with VGA quality backgrounds and icons, but the basics are definitely there.
Kind Regards to the Developer
guau! looks very nice! thanks bro!!!!
Nice find...
Hi raskell.
Excellent find! We'll look into this...for sure.

Did you try?
I would like if it is compatible with ROM Black Touch AP2
If you need not change the dpi i am all up for it!
would someone be super kind and put on a direct link or something else than rapid share, coz i can't use that from my company
Installed on my X7500 WM6 ITA with 96dpi setting, here they are my considerations:
1. Graphic should be improved with an appropriate resolution of images used to build the interface. (I hope I can do it by maself)
2. Scrolling works well even if touching feedback should be more reactive on striping finger over display
3. Not all the applications link work. I hope I can customize by myself
4. Home screen works fine, images resolution apart.
Nothing I can say about RAM and battery usage...still testing it.

Tested with 128 DPI Settings and it looks and works the same, regardless of the font. Some of the demo apps are not set to the correct file links, however using the CubeConfig module, this is easily corrected. I just went through each screen and tested what worked an what didn't, then ran the CubeConfig and changed the broken links. Again, this is an (Alpha Demo) but it is working!
Bother! Was hoping you would say it didn't work
I really should know better than to install beta software, let alone alpha!
Can I resist trying it......
probably not !
Thanks

Does anyone know if there's an app that will change the wallpaper on 6.5 every few seconds like a slide show or if thats even possible?
I guess one could make a mortscript that changes the wallpaper every few minutes from a list of files, but everytime it's change the today screen would need to reload.
I was looking for the same thing. But becuase of derekwilkinson's response that wouldn't be such a great idea. Maybe possibly it can change wallpapers only on the locc screen only. That way I wouldn't have to install s2u2 that I've been using fo a very long time.
The lock screen uses the wallpaper from the today screen, and, as far as I know, cannot use a separate wallpaper.
I'd be ok with the today screen refreshing too, but I gotta wait until enough people with mortscript knowledge want it as well. All that stuff looked totally foreign to me

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to change the background image in the SmartView cover.
My firmware is KIW-L21C432B160 - german version.
A change of the desgn brings no solution.
The background with the SmartView cover is always the same, does not change.
I would be very pleased if someone could offer a solution.
Thank you in advanced.

I don't have a smartview case but, I suggest you to look in themes app and look for it
U can change by Emui theme editor>Open and select you loved theme and in edit add s-view section change or add background to your theme and save, apply the theme and enjoy
This does not work, unfortunately, because the S-View image has been compressed.
See image.
What can I do?

My Italian really sucks, so I might not have gotten it correctly, but doesn't this just allow you to change watch faces to other ones that are ready (prepared by other modders), rather than allowing you to create your own watchface?
Now you can easily edit watchfaces. bitbucket.org/valeronm/amazfitbiptools
WatchFace.exe *.bin -> json+resource

Almost all faces i got from here (i haven't tried all yet :silly: ) only updating step counter once a minute compared to the official one (the one that comes pre-installed with the firmware) which updating the counter directly.

2.) For editing PNG files
GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/
3.) For editing JSON files:

No, it is an firmware feature. It is non-fixable. That is the reason why I stopped using hide on lock. Hide on lock is just full screen icon with transparent holes and there is no way how to set layer priority or similar function, so other functions like weather, step circle etc. are drawed always on top....
Makes sense... Suprised the order in the json doesnt set draw order.

Hey guys,
I haven't done Android dev in a long time, but I'd be very interested in starting again just to figure out how to make all (or at least a few of the major) apps work in dual screen stretched mode like Chrome does. I'll have the phone by tomorrow, but does anyone know where to even begin looking into something like this?
If we can figure out how to make it happen, I'll gladly start modifying apps and share them so that they can be stretched across the dual screen. I'm sure it's just a flag in the App Manifest or something very straight forward like that.
Any devs with any pointers?
Here's the contents of my app Manifest of chrome on my Note 10+.
https://pastebin.com/14nWYsD1
Can anyone please paste the manifest from their G8x?
If you have Solid Explorer, on the left slide out tab, tap on Applications, then in System Apps find Chrome. Inside there's a button on top that says "Browse". Just tap that and the manifest file should be in the root folder (first thing you see).
Could someone please paste their Chrome manifest file from there?
Thanks!
For example, in the Samsung one there's a few tags like this to enable Samsung (and Note) specific features within Chrome:
Code:
<meta-data
name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.enable" value="true">
</meta-data>
<meta-data
name="com.samsung.android.sdk.multiwindow.penwindow enable" value="true">
</meta-data>
If we can find something like this for the LG sdk, we can enable split screen mode in any app we want.
I will extract my own Chrome app manifest tomorrow, but I won't be able to modify an existing apps until Monday or so. .
For completeness sake, and for anyone else who wants to follow along, here's the manifest from the LG G8X Chrome app:
https://pastebin.com/cz3zLrXq
Todo: find something LG Specific in the new manifest, copy it over to manifest files of other apps and see if it works. Unfortunately this is going to take me a while since I don't have my PC this weekend. More to come this coming week!
Update: looks like both versions are the same. Which means the info is not in the manifest file. I'm not sure where else it would be...
Will keep looking this weekend...
So it looks like I'm using this thread as a progress marker.
I found an app called "second launcher". Trying to see if this is a lead or a dead end.
For those interested, here's the manifest file:
https://pastebin.com/YgyLUgJn
This might be of particular interest...
Code:
<provider android:name="com.lge.secondlauncher.allapps.AllAppsDBProvider"
android:readPermission="com.lge.secondlauncher.permission.READ_SETTINGS"
android:writePermission="com.lge.secondlauncher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"
android:exported="true"
android:authorities="com.lge.secondlauncher.AllAppsDBProvider">
</provider>
Thanks for this, man. I'm shocked only chrome and whale use wide view.
You probably already know this, but:
The second launcher is the home for the left screen. I'm using Nova Launcher right now and it only affects the right screen. The left is still using Second Launcher
Hey, yeah I gathered as much. I'm trying to see if there's a list or something in this app that is basically an allow list.
What I found interesting is that on apps that are allowed to stretch, when they do stretch across both screens, it affects everything not just that app. The keyboard, notification shade, task bar, etc etc. This capability exists, and there's just one place where there's an allow list somewhere. I just have to find it...
Including when taking screenshots.
All I did between these two screen caps, is press the wide view button. I took the screenshots from the hardware buttons so it's a system wide recognition of the new "wide" state...
I just learned a couple things:
1. Wide view is definitely just a resizing of the screen/elements. If you have wide view on and you're asked for a fingerprint, the whole thing breaks. The fingerprint symbol is in between the two screens and you have to tap it to enable the scanner on the main screen. I.e. you need 2 fingers to use it. (Screenshot below).
2. I found LG development site with a guide on how to enable widescreen view in apps. It seems a bit incomplete, but I'm looking into it.
3. Wide screen works in 2 different modes: 1) the entire Android interface stretches across both screens, the break in the middle is not handled and it's a bit wonky. 2) The app knows there's 2 screens and behaves accordingly. Only certain activities are opened on the second screen and there's information exchange (i.e. gallery app/camera app).
This second more seems a bit more involved/complicated. The first mode just tells Android that the two screens are just one big screen, feel free to stretch across. This is the one I will focus on for now. Maybe if I get time, I can make apps behave across both screens.
What this means: you probably won't see an app which shows independent "panes" like Gmail across both screens, or an e-reader with pages across both screen, unless they are specifically coded by the original developers. A lucky break could be if the app is coded as such, and could somehow be convinced that the doi is changing or it is now in landscape mode. Then it could switch to it's different configuration.
Anyway, let's see what I can uncover. Maybe on Monday I will dust of my old laptop, and try to get the LG dual screen demo app working. Once it does, I can try to extract and modify currently installed apps.

2. Where did you find the guidance? All I know is the old dualscreen api sdk with no wide mode
Have you tried force all apps resizeable & secondary display option in developer menu?
I also think there is some kind of lists for dual screen wide mode supported apps. Just like the lists of some apps to access certain features (auxillary PentaCamera, multi window etc)
Have you tried to launch QSlide on wide view mode? There's a developer kit to launch some apps using qslide

Lg has a link to their LG Dual Screen SDK on thier site. Looks like a great start
EDIT: It also looks like the system uses Googles Foldable screen API 29 even though my phone is only running Android 9. I assume this means that the device needs to have the "resizeableActivity=true" in order for the Wide View button to appear. I am looking through Whale and Chrome now to see if that is indeed the case and if an older version of either without this snjipped of code supports wide screen
Looks like it's probably "com.naver.WhaleMediaStandaloneDualFullScreenActivity" where things get interesting... Looking through chrome now
Within the manifest of Chrome:
Code:
<activity theme="@7F14024B" name="org.chromium.chrome.browser.media.PictureInPictureActivity" exported="false"
excludeFromRecents="true"
configChanges="0x00000D80" noHistory="true"
resizeableActivity="true"
supportsPictureInPicture="true">
</activity>
Final edit: AAAANNNDD here's the manifest for whale:
Code:
<activity android:theme="@7F140101" android:name="com.naver.whale.dualscreen.DualScreenTabActivity" android:exported="false" android:taskAffinity="com.naver.whale.dualscreen" android:excludeFromRecents="true" android:configChanges="0x00001FB3" android:windowSoftInputMode="0x00000010" android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
[COLOR="red"]android:resizeableActivity="true"[/COLOR]
android:supportsPictureInPicture="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.naver.whale.dualtab">
</action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE">
</category>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
So I'm pretty sure this is the puzzle piece we need. If we can root the device, we can force this activity any app an force full screen.
Though, Gmail has this and it does not do any sort of multi screen view for me... Hmm...
Yes! Thank you!
This is what I saw earlier as well, that it says it used the Google foldable APIs but did they back port it? I assumed (like most Android manufacturers I e. Samsung) that they just developed their own thing, so I was surprised to see them mention Android foldables.
Do you think all it needs is the resizable activity true in the manifest? If that's the case, I'm going to try it on some of my apps and see what happens!
Will report back later tonight!
I don't know for sure if it's the only thing, but Google's Dev notes on foldables mention this specifically, good luck!
I may mess with something here or there myself, this dual screen thing has a ton of potential
Yeah so I don't think that's it. I checked GMail and also checked Google Maps. Both of those have this in their main activity but neither of them support it. It may be PART of the puzzle, but it's definitely not the missing piece. Will keep looking further.
So I found something that bothers me a bit....

Unfortunately, 3rd party apps can't use the APIs. Because those APIs can use only LG System App.

God, I really hope that's not true. So far it seems to be. Since Chrome/Whale browser, etc. are system apps.... Google Maps is not, so it can't... same with GMail…. honestly if this is true, I might return this phone. This is huge for me....
Ignore that, I think this is only valid for those specific APIs that the person in the forum referred to... please ignore my comments, carry on...
I was able to have the device spit out information about the two displays that are available. The second display definitely comes up as an HDMI display. I think I have a lead on how to get full screen apps to show up. More to come.

Some Korean apps (not system apps) can use dual screen perfectly. So it's not true. I believe it's like how LG older Multi-Window feature works, there are some lists of packages names for supported apps. There's also a way to build the code inside an app

Yeah so I don't think that's it. I checked GMail and also checked Google Maps. Both of those have this in their main activity but neither of them support it. It may be PART of the puzzle, but it's definitely not the missing piece. Will keep looking further.

Can you open a link in chrome or whale that will trigger Gmail or gmaps to open automatically?
Make sure you've enabled force resizeable app apps in developer menu

Just tried it, unfortunately it shuts down wide screen moose and opens Gmail on the main screen only
Also, have those apps a shot. You can do some dual screen settings, but nothing like one large screen. Maybe I didn't go through enough settings, but I couldn't get the second screen to play nice

You can install 'Sentio' and 'Taskbar' now. It's like Samsung DeX, to trigger HDMI mirroring

Tried both. Neither of them saw the second screen until it was pushed over to the second screen, then I had to re-enable settings and permissions. They basically just behave like two independent devices... it's very odd.

Do you know which apps? Are these available in the app store? (Even if just Korean version of Play Store). Could you tell me which ones (or send me APKs of them) so I can try them out/look through them?

Yup, I've enabled the setting, enabled the flag in ADB, nothing happens. Gmail or Maps just instantly close down wide view and open up on one screen.
