So far the only app I have found that works with "wide view" is chrome. Is there a setting sonewhere to add more apps to this view? For me, wide view is the entire point of a phone like this. LG adding functionality to use the phone purely in wide view mode is pretty much a must for it to be worth buying this thing, if you ask me...
Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
Yeah... While I appreciate that dev making that app... Its a far cry from what is actually needed unfortunately.

Are you sure you are using it correctly? It allows virtually every app to work in widescreen. You can also use it conjunction in tasker.
Yes. The constant switching is just nowhere near as good as just having a permanent wide mode button like the Axon M had.
Have you tried it with Tasker? For me, every option in the configuration for the plugin just turns on Wide View, including Off and Toggle. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Do you have a sample profile?

How does Tasker help with this? Are you using autmating wideview when launching specific apps?

This module is a rather simple yet useful one
It allows you to open different apps or launcher shortcuts using different PIN codes/patterns
This is NOT for security, infact it reduces security (more passwords, so more chance of getting it right)
It simply allows you to set shortcuts
EXAMPLE USAGE
Set 1111 as password for "Phone" app
Set 2222 as password for "Messaging" app
Set 0000 as normal password, from Android Settings app
Then, when I type 0000, it will unlock as normal
When i type 1111, it will unlock and then launch "Phone"
When I type 2222, it will unlock and then launch "Messaging"
It should work with PIN and password and now also patterns!
This mod can be found attached to this post or in the Xposed Repo
Please also consider the pro version, it is an in app purchase within the free one

It's a long shot but if you could add tasker support to this, I can't even imagine the different scenarios we could use directly from lockscreen.

A lot of people have asked for Tasker support for many of my mods
The truth is I don't know how to make Tasker plugins. I don't even have Tasker
And what would it do in this case anyway?

You could directly ask the developer of tasker. He will surely help you.
And I think there is something on his website also for integrating support.
I could create any task, such as switching on mobile data and launching an app simultaneously.
And that task will be triggered by your module when I enter a pin or pattern.
It's all depends on your imagination after that.
---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------
I just realised you are also the developer of fastscroll, very handy.
Looking forward to this module.
If you add shortcuts (that same of launchers) people can call Tasker from creating password actions for shortcut.
Waiting for pattern to test

Knew that already and was being scared after a previous lockout.
So it works good with timepin but it doesn't unlock the device. Time pin uses two types of locks:
1. The default lock code, used when you first unlock after booting
2. The Time unlock code, which changes every minute.
I'm using this module to set the Flashlight app as an unlock code. I didn't really need it to unlock, just to turn on the flashlight which it does very well. But to turn it off I would need to unlock my phone the normal way.
TL;DR - it doesn't unlock the device if you're using time pin, but does activate the set app when the code is entered.
Stops shouting for a Lolli.
THIS MODULE PREVENTS LOLLIPOP FROM USING UPCASE EVERYWHERE, LIKE NOTIFICATION ACTIONS, DIALOGS AND BUTTONS. I DON'T LIKE IT AND THINK IT WAS A BAD DECISION.
Additional it is also annoying to have a 7" display, but the dialog buttons are shrinked now. Most time there is just a JA, NO, OK or GO - and you have to hit it. I'm not a monster, but my fingers are larger than of a 10 year old child.
So this module also uses for these buttons the whole width of the dialogs, like it was previously. You could set the position for a the text of 1 button dialogs to center or default position by open the module. Initial its random so you could check what's more suitable for you.
Only compatible with AOSP Lollipop!

Thx for the screenshot! I've disabled the upcase transformation global, there is not available by which component it is requested.
But anyway upcase tabs are ugly, it so Visual Studio style ^^
It would be great if you could add buttons to enable/disable upcase. I really like your work of putting the buttons in center and using the whole width, that is great. But I like the capital letters, too :angel: :good:

Sometimes Android "forget" to create shared_pref directory in the apps data dir. Then savin preferences is not possible, but no error. You could check with a root enabled file manager. Or you could get an "shared preferences" editor/viewer from play store to verify that there was a value saved

If you create it by "root" only root is allowed to r/w/x -> set user+group+permission like other dirs, eg the existing "files" or "cache".
Another "fix" could be to remove & reinstall.
But the suspect is that the directory is missing sometimes!

Hello All! I currently own an LG V20 and am getting the Pixel XL in February (allegedly). One feature I will need a proper replacement for is the Capture+ app. If you have never used it, It was much like the Note 5/7 in that you can get screenshots of only pertinent parts of the screen.
Being a system app it cannot be downloaded , but I cannot find any apps that do something similar. Does anyone know of any apps that do this? Any other suggestions for quickly getting partial screenshots?

The scrolling capture is available by just update your Smart select apk. I'm using 2.0.53 version and it works pretty well. It also will add the gif capture feature. And if you want to scroll capture without taking out s pen to capture with Screen Write, just enable the setting in Display>Enable Edit After Capture. If the option not available, just edit in system/etc/floating_feature and find line with Edit After Capture and change the word FALSE to TRUE
Note: You need to update the Smart select first.

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.

You need to have the latest firmware with proper wide view mode

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).

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

The problem is tha apps where function are mapped in the middle... it is really splitted in an ugly way but it works like a charm.

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.

It is available from the Play Store.

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.

All I have to say is WOW! Great job on the app! I don't know why LG didn't build this functionality in the first place. You sir, have saved the day!
I believe it's an LG internal beta test app like Wizlock. It will become an official new feature

This will force all apps to support multi resume like Android 10
This does not work properly.
e.g. opening amazon shopping app, if i click the search box it kicks me out of widescreen, same with bbc news app.
I think. Does not work on EU models ..

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.
