You can switch to widescreen all apps
It is available from the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
The weak point of G8X is that only limited apps can be set to Wide mode.
However, this tool will allow any app to be in Wide mode.
Wide mode is available for anything such as Kindle, Google Maps, Youtube, MX Player.
By calling from QuickSettings Tile, the activity displayed on the main screen is set to Wide mode.

Hello,
thanks! I am just installing it!
Game changer! Completely transformative for productivity uses--allows landscape tablet use for gdocs, word, excel, OneNote, calendar. Gets the phone significantly closer to achieving its potential. Fingers crossed LG will enable this in more elegant fashion (e.g., allow it to stay in widescreen mode between usages and apps so that you don't have to keep turning this on).
Thank you so much! It works exactly as I hoped this device did straight out of the box.
I cant seem to get it to work for some reason.
What i done is,after adding the icon to the drop down quick settings, i open the app on the main screen the switch on wide mode from the drop down menu. My dual screen is on but becomes blank.

Hopefully LG will adjust the UI scaling and look to work best with hinge, rounded corners, hinge segmentation, angled view (like book handling or laptop standing), different screen size (v50). Pitch black dark mode will work great for more seamless coherent look

What about opening third party app launcher
And what about dedicated apps with different view dual screen? Can you force it to be bigger? Like gallery, camera,
I also would like to see how the scaling looks like on lg stock apps (notes, calender) & third party apps (Gmail, Microsoft, games, Google news, Instagram, YouTube)
The problem with foldables is they look like a giant phone. Not like tablet
Please guys share more screenshots, it's a great main selling point

What about dpi tweaking
This app is indeed awesome and it makes you wonder why LG did not come up with this.
But the giant black divider is really annoying. It makes me want a ZTE Axon M with updated specs (larger screens, latest Snapdragon, dual SIM, OLED, faster storage, etc.). Basically a Microsoft Duo without the ridiculous wait and price. I can imagine a Chinese manufacturer could bring this to market a lot quicker and for a lot less money than Microsoft.

Thanks for the reply! I don't understand, I also have a German device. The program is installed but the Wide Mode icon does not appear (if I pull down the status bar) Do I need to do anything else? (The two displays are in sync of course)
Correction! Works I found the icon in the edit menu. Sensational, I don't understand why LG doesn't include it in the sidebar in the floating dual display setup.

I noticed the G8X widescreen app posted an update that includes a tasker plugin. I've created a new profile that with the following triggers:
* app switch, and
* running selected apps (e.g., gmail, word)
that launch a task that includes:
* force reverse landscape orientation, and
* launch G8X widescreen plugin.
So far so good. I'm just looking for a way to maintain the widescreen automatically for the activities that automatically switch out of widescreen, e.g., hitting the reply button in gmail.
The tasker plugin functionality is another huge leap forward.

For the album art, what music player are you using?
For the battery bar, designers tend to rather use Zooper as it's a lot more capable of editing battery bars.
yeah I understand re bar but why have the option to rotate it,that doesn't make sense,I have used the default music player,music player pro and dfx music player,still can't get it to recognise proper cover,and to be truthful it's the only problem with this build I have found
exactly the same with google music player,reboot does not sort the problem

Hi mate this is why I have gone away from themer for the time being.
As I found you can make a phone look just as nice using zooper pro and kk launcher and I have not had one crash.
My main reason for this is a lot of advanced string codes that work fine in zooper pro just don't work in themer zooper.

Would you mind letting us know what some of these advanced string codes are? I have been a hardcore user of Zooper pro since its inception and I can think of a sing sting that does not work with Zooper Themer. Have of the advanced stings in use today in most widgets, come from myself and a handful of other hardcore Zooper Pro users in the G+ community.
The only things that do not work are custom built Tasker stings, as this would be impossible with Themer based themes distributed via the app.

If you are not getting album art, please check the following setting in your device settings.

You should get a popup whenever you hit "choose source", prompting you to check this if it is not. We have had a few users state this does not happen. We are tracking the bug to try and resolve it.

Ahh Ok got ya...
My bet, is that the players you are using are not fully supported by the version of MU in use in Themer.
There was an option in the stand alone version of MU for "alternate metadata collection", which would enable scaping of the data, including coverart, from players that do not conform to the standard Android method.
We can not add this method into the Themer version of MU right now, because it would/could cause issues. Basically it would require our users to switch between modes of collection based on each of the players in use.
I have been hoping to get the devs here to look into adding support for this, and turning it on/off based on the currently selected player.
This is really just a matter of finding the time to do all of the testing.
In the mean time, can you confirm that this is the problem. Try using GooglePlay Music for your player and see if the coverart displays correctly.
Also I just started this thread at our site to help with this if you would like to contribute.

Its this like
When I use a progress bar for music as a track time bar.
Works for a bit but then stops and won't start again till a reboot.
When using string to show/hide a image.
Image will only show not hide.
Album art just shows one album art image for all albums.
And some time when using track time it seam's to be a double speed ie will so 10 seconds in just 5 seconds
Here are the codes I use
#TMU_TRACK_PERC#
[bo] $#TMU_ISPLAYING#=1?1$ [/bo]
[bo] $#TMU_ISPLAYING#=0?0$ [/bo]
#TMU_COVERART#
[bo] $#TMU_ISPLAYING#=0?0$ [/bo]
#TMU_PLAYTIME#
But they all work fine in zooper pro but not in themer zooper.
But it might be my phone as I have one of the few devices that has a x86 Intel atom CPU.
But at the same time if it is my phone why is zooper pro working fine.

Everything you have listed here is for Media Utilities based variables. So this is nothing to do with Zooper Themer itself.
When you have two version of Media Utilities installed on a device things get odd with Themer.
You have to remember that Themer itself has its own baked in version of MU, then you are adding a stand alone version (not sure which one) on top of it.
Dont ask me why, but Zooper Themer does NOT work with Themer MU. The variables just do not work at all, because the Themer version of MU does not broadcast anything for Zooper to pickup via variables. I have argued for this feature to be added since before I began work here. There is a thread at the support site asking for this to be added. Its been at the top of the list for some time now, but one more vote never hurts.
http://support.themerapp.com/forums...5218-media-utilities-support-in-themer-zooper
Once this support is added, it will work just fine.
BTW about 90% of what you want to do with Zooper and MU is getting ready to be possible in Everything Widget. Since I have yet to get them to budge on the Zooper MU thing, I have slowly had them add in a good deal of this stuff to EW. You should see it in the next update. Im sure you are in the same boat as me, and would rather do it in Zooper, but it is what it is. As a small bonus, due to the way EW renders layers, the reaction time for changes shown on screen with this stuff is much faster. Its not quite instant on touch, but its much faster than Zooper.
There will be no rotation in EW though, nor should you ever really use it. This is due to the way both EW and Zooper render widgets. First off you cant get faster than 1fps, which looks like ass. I introduced the spinning record idea to the Zooper Pro community, and worked with a few other guys to see how well it could be optimized. In the end, we decided it didnt look good enough to warrant the battery drain it causes.
You have to always keep in mind that Zooper renders the widget you see on your desktop as a flat PNG image. Every layer in your widget is compiled into this one png. So this means that if you have something that is changing in the widget on a per-second basis, it is asking Zooper to re-render a new PNG every second. This will MURDER a battery. The best you can do is set the rotation to only occur when music is playing, and to be static when paused.
FYI, Everything Widget does the same flattening to PNG that Zooper does. The difference is that each layer in the widget is flattened into its own PNG. This is the reason why EW will be faster to change an image (play button to pause button for example) because it does not need to think or take into account all of the other layers when it re-renders. It only changes the layer that needs to update.

Hmmmm... There have been a few users recently that needed to completely un-install > delete MCS folder > reinstall.
I would suggest you take this route to see if it fixes your issue.
Since you are flashing a new rom on your device, I would suggest a fresh install from the market, and not a reinstall of a backup.
Let me know how it goes.

Do you feel that your screen isn't really calibrated? Maybe too blueish? Well, those days are gone because I bring you HisiColorChanger!!111
I have developed this app as an answer to the people who were unhappy with the screen colors. It lets you fine tune the color temperature (by now), writing the values directly to the kernel, and allows you to save them for the next boot.
The app is in the testing phase so it doesn't have all the features that you'd expect, but I want to see if you find it useful or if it's just a waste of time.

Yes.
This is EXTREMELY useful for us subset of users who need better color accuracy with our H8/P9, especially when it's my mobile emergency darkroom.
Please do develop the app further, maybe include +- buttons, a direct numerical input box and the ability to save/load presets? As of now I'm already VERY happy I can tune the H8 to be about as accurate as my old Note 3, as that was one of my biggest pet peeves with the H8.
BTW, it never did save its values to the kernel in my L19, even during MM and now on Nougat. After boot I always needed to restart the app to get the colour changes working. Any idea why?
In moving from my Verizon S8+ to my unlocked S9+, I've noticed a few features missing between the two. Has anyone noticed other things that are missing or ways around these?
Messages app no longer can set the background image. On the S8, I could choose a background color or image in the messaging app, but the option appears to be gone. Am I missing it or did they remove it for some reason?
In contacts, I used to be able to set a custom ringtone and messaging noise for each person. Now, it seems all I can set is ringtone. The ability to customize their messaging sound seems to have vanished.
Settings "normal" listing is missing. On the S8, you could choose between Simplified List and a normal list for the way the Settings were presented. Bixby required the simplified list which is why I suspect they removed the more organized look. Is the option still there somewhere? I hate the simplified list and not having the ability to put the shortcuts to important stuff at the top of the list. (And no, I'm not talking about the swipe down quick list of settings.)
Always on Display background options. There used to be patterns or subtle colors you could easily choose for any of the built in clock faces in the Always on Display options. Now it seems all you can choose is text color or go out to the theme store to choose some obnoxious themed clock. Is the option buried or gone?
Anyone notice any other little/big things that seem to have gone missing in the S9/S9+?
Taking a picture with both phones, independently of lighting conditions, I noticed that with the s8+ you can zoom in the saved picture considerably more. Am I missing something?

Can't figure out any way to add my own notification sounds. In prior Android phones (including Samsung) adding them to a folder called Notifications would make them available in the list of sounds. That no longer seems to work. Combined with the inability to set a sender specific notification tone in Messages, this may be enough to make me return the phone. I mean, seriously, this capability has existed since my first Android phone.

I've got tons of old notification sounds and ringtones loaded into my S9+ just fine.
In fact, there's even an Add button at the top of the sound chooser. I haven't clicked it, but presumably you can browse your device for more sounds.
Hey guys, I live in China and I just got one from their flagship store in Shanghai, must say it's indeed a very impressive phone but only on hardware perspective, as for the software, nah.
More details will be available once I have time to explore, main phone still will be Galaxy S8 and iPhone X at this moment

I would say it's okay for the camera but not the best, its cheaper sibling Vivo Nex has better image quality compared with.
The speaker is mono unfortunately, I think they don't have enough space to fit a large audo component into that tiny upper frame, a bit sad.
Battery is above the average, will do a intensive battery consumption test once I have time.:fingers-crossed:

does anybody know a way how to force the phone to use a launcher when pressing the home button?
Color OS 5.1 is not having a launcher/homescreen option in the default app manager

So far the only way is to get adb working
Type
Adb shell (hit enter)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oppo.launcher (hit enter)
However when you swipe up from center it gives you a blank screen. You then have to hit lock screen or drag up from center and hold to show recents then you can drag up from center and it will go to your launcher.
Before using the command above make sure you already have the 3rd party launcher installed
Got one from China, using in Canada right now
Google Assistance isnt working for me (cannot trigger via voice or home button)
Android Auto is not working
Have trouble to disable voicemail notification, Pixel 2 can disable it via some trick but not working with Find X
LTE band works great and download/upload speed is faster than my Pixel 2 (Telus+Freedom Mobile)
URL Links that require to open Google Play wont work, it will open the built-in broswer even I switch the default browser to Chrome, it will not open google play directly
Same idea for google calendar and other google deep intergrated services/app
Need International ROM!!!

My OFX should be arriving any minute now....
Is there an option in the settings to go without a lockscreen?
I don't use a lock screen of any sort, I'll be giving this app a shot (with & without a lock screen) to see what, if any, effect it has, with both swipe gestures & nav buttons.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
I realize most people use a lockscreen but,thought some may be willing to go without one if, in exchange, you may be able to skip a couple of swipes/etc... in the process.

I don't see a option for that, but you might be able to delete it. I'm not going to try that one.
Yep, never use a lockscreen and go straight to the GUI from the fingerprint scanner or face unlock, positively hate the extra step. It's a key issue for me so I'm counting on you folks getting it resolved.

Found the setting to turn off lockscreen,but,at least for now,it comes at a price:
The good news: Look no further than developer options,it's the 2nd option.
The not so good: You're stuck with the yellow warning background in the status bar
The background color could be disabled on the VIVO NEX by killing the VIVO Services app,at least until the next reboot,not the best option,but,I could live with it.
Perhaps the OPPO equivalent,whatever that .apk is named,will serve us the same result,I'll be spending the better part of the evening trying out different apps.........

How do you like this device compared to the nex?
Navigation bar at the bottom of the screen is not always most convenient, so I'm using this app to bring navigation bar at the sides at any time with a single swipe and auto hide. It has lots of customisation, like position of the handle, it's size, navigation icons and so on. Simple app but very functional. I'm using its controls more often than the build in navigation bar. Can't live without it now.

I've always been interested in this kind of app..have you found any change in battery life or compatibility?

Don't see any impact on battery. Works flawlessly.
I tried this app but I prefer Samsung's "One Hand Operation +" avialable in the Galaxy App Store, or on APKMirror
