Hey all - I figured out how to get a great dual screen reading experience. It requires the G8X WideMode and the ereader app Librera. It allows you to use side-by-side pages and has a true OLED black mode. There's an ad supported and pro app.
Hope this helps anyone looking for this functionality.

Hello
can please be more specific? Which one are the setting you apply to make it in dual?
The attached picture is not displayed.
Thanks.
Could you please post specific instructions?
Thanks
Full credits to OP for discovering the app. In the app, you open any PDF in "Book Mode" and change the view to 2 pages (attached screenshots).
However, you can get the pro version for free from F-Droid: Librera Reader (Book and PDF reader) - https://f-droid.org/app/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader
Nice, I checked it out and works. I do really hope the Kindle app is updated for dual screen. It only allows column view in landscape mode and even when using wide screen the Kindle app doesn't allow columns because it is still in portrait orientation.

Yep - I tried Kindle and Nook apps first with no luck.
Works with moon+reader pro as well. Options -> Miscellaneous -> scroll down to "Some Special Options" section -> enable Dual Pages in landscape mode, tap the gear to the right and "allow dual page in portrait mode".

Works well. But only issue is, it doesn't work with PDF files for me. For PDF i use librera PRO.
Another option
I don't have the G8X, but I do have an Axon M. The app I use is PocketBook, which by default sets the ebook view to 2 pages when you have the app in both screens. It even has the page turn animation and all.
Thanks Everyone.
This works perfect.
@YaminoEndo PocketBook works great for dual screen.
@Mohitpunjabi PocketBook not working for me, can you share the app link and settings used.
Pocket book is available on playstore.
Also install wide view app from playstore as well.
Then enable wide view from notification panel.
It should work.
Yo
Xodo is the app for pdf and other ebooks with dual screen support, please check

This app was born to be run on the Streak. Been reading Wanted, on which the 2008 film was based (sortof). The Streaks large, vivid screen rocks it completely!!
Lots of free web comics on a website called PKD Media (dot) com and all over teh netz.
It's great until my CBR files have a double page spread and it cannot open it.
I love this app also - just converted my collection of Asterix and Tintin for my daughter and she loves them! I barely get to use my device now since I got it as she is always on it reading books and comics!
:-(
I used this app to read manga its awesome
Double pages were a bit of a pain. In the main though I found that setting it to "Fit Width" made every very readable.

Nope. Mine still comes up with the 'oops' Unable to load imahge' Message.
Every time it hit's a double page and you can't read any further.
Thats a shame cos otherwise its a good bit of software. Maybe an email to the Devs?
I use myComics on my Streak!
Give myComics for Android app a try!
It's great and optimized for devices with small screens.
The speech balloons' pop up zoom is priceless.

Perfect Viewer
Perfect Viewer for me is the best comic viewer. Awesome on the streak, try it, set it up to your liking. you can set different parts of the screen to a different function, like fit to height, fit to width, next page, previous page, auto rotate, fixed orientation, automatically opens next book upon completion, supports cbr cbz and many others.
It can open 2 page spreads no sweat.
Where is the link to download it?

Perfect Viewer is the best for me. It also has a pdf-plugin to view pdf-files. It opens even large pdf-files (>50mb) very fast. Also no problems wirh cbr, cbz and picture folders. Amd a nice bookshelf to organize your comic library.

Thats exactly what i get no matter what app i use to flip the screen.
Even a force-rotation application have the exact same result. I'm guessing it's limited to just landscape, something Samsung elected to tell us

If you use SIDESYNC you can use your Galaxy phone on the view screen. Rotate your phone and it will as well.
I use the xposed module haveownorientation and it works for me
Hi Kafinal, do you use the haveownorientation app on a custom ROM of the Samsung View? I would like to use portrait mode on full screen, without rooting but haven't found a solution for this yet
Thanks for any answer, Roy.
Hi. Try it

For me this did not actually change the orientation but instead made a Portrait App full width (and vertically scrollable)... but when it goes into full screen mode after you open a specific Magazine I just got a black screen (it one of the Cooking Magazines - in this case Donna Hay, I think Jamie Oliver's app is the same platform).
My Wife wants to use the View in the Kitchen to check mags etc, but if we are stuck without either:
- Allowing Screen Rotation for Portrait Apps and/or
- Allowing Full Width (and vertically scrollable) for Portrait Apps
....you end up with a very had to read Vertical App with Wide Black Bars in the middle of the Landscape screen
I've also tried a bunch of the Rotation Apps which just don't work.

How could you install xposed in samsung galaxy view? please
Don't bother. It does not work to force a rotation change.
@ roycon
i'm not on a custom rom, it's the original that's rooted.
@ Altuve
By no means am i an expert on android so i will not give advice on how to to install Xposed, There's tons of info on google to do it.
jmone mention that the orientation didn't change, he/she may be right as i said i'm no expert.
before the tablet was rooted i used netguard to block all connections and BK disabler to disable all the bloatware ...... BK disabler always open in portrait mode but now it's rooted it opens in landscape with the module, its not perfect but it works for me.
post a few apps that open portrait mode and ill see if they work with the module. I don't come here often so be patient.
Hey Kafinal, can you post a screen shot of your Galaxy View in portrait mode on a internet browser, such as Chrome or Firefox?
Thanks for your time.
Hello, did anybody manage to make the rotation work? I have only managed to root the device (original Samsung image 5.1), changed /system/build.prop rotation prop from ro.sf.hwrotation=180 to ro.sf.hwrotation=90, most apps seems to work well in portrait mode (full screen), but I have to use OTG mouse to control it as touch input works like it is still in landscape mode. I'm searching for any information if there is other way to rotate the screen or if there is any way to change touch input settings so it will revert axis to work properly.
Hi. Did anyone fix this problem?
Hi. Did anyone fix this problem?
When I first got my Tab S3, I adjust some of the settings on the home screen, such as the grid size and if the icons are shown with the frame behind them or not. (I chose no frame) I went back later to change the settings again and found that both the Home Screen and Icon Frames menu items are grayed out. (See screenshot)

Tapping on them highlights them, but otherwise does nothing.
I contacted Samsung and not only do they not have a solution, but they are not aware of anyone else having the same problem.
Can you access these settings on your tablet? If not, provide your tablet build number.

Grayed out for me as well. But I've changed my default launcher to apex and got rid of some samsung bloat ware so i don't know if that is causing this.

Change default launcher to SHome and those grayed out options should be back.
I should have mentioned in my original post that I have not installed any alternate launchers on this device.

Try this , install a third party launcher , set it as default. Reboot , and go to settings -->Applications --> default applications and set SHome as default and see if you can see the settings.

Haven't come across a good Hints/Tips/Tricks thread for this phone, so figured I'd start something up. Feel free to add anything!
Tired of white notifications when using Dark Mode?
Install "Power Shade" from the Playstore to open up customization options for your notification window, and better yet, set the background colour of notification windows to anything you like!
It also ads the option for a little bar that lets you "swipe down for notifications" rather than using LG's option for a button in the tray.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns&hl=en_US
Unfortunately Power Shade removes the option in the notification to change your audio source (BT, phone speakers, etc.)
I simple fix is an app called "Smart Audio Switch" that allows a permanent notification that brings back functionality.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codococo.smartaudiorouter&hl=en_US
Want to use "Wide Mode" and use both screens for any app?
Most of you already know about this, but the app called "G8X Wide Mode" allows you to use any app across both screens.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode&hl=en_US
Want to use the LG Game Pad for games that only play in portrait?
One of the only games I play on my phone is called "Vista Golf" which is just a little mini putt game, but with gorgeous yet simple graphics, and an endless number of randomly generated courses.
I was excited to play the game with the game pad, however the game pad really only works in landscape, and Vista Golf plays in portrait.
I use an app called "Control Screen Orientation" which you can use to force apps into landscape.
Link ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ahapps.controlthescreenorientation&hl=en_US
This enabled me to use the LG Game Pad with the game, and setup a custom controller and works great.
Hate the old "Lollipop" Rolodex style task switcher?
For the life of me I have no idea why LG implemented the old rolodex style task switcher, seems so out dated.
Fortunately there is a simple fix.
If you go to Settings>Display>Home Touch Buttons and change from "Buttons Only" to "Gesture and Buttons", it completely changes the style of the task switcher.
You still get a back and a home button, and a simple swipe up from anywhere on the nav button pane will bring up a proper task switching menu.
You can go from this:

Just noticed the new an updated app for smart view now has a password to ask the hidden settings:
Works on all older versions of the app on S22ultra and older, but for some reason there's a password just to access the hidden settings.
Anyone know how I can get around this, either downgrade my smart view app or find the password for it.
For example the password for the older version of advanced controls used to be #00sv00 on my S22ultra or S21 or S10
Any help is appreciated

It is your password. The one the phone asks for in the lock screen (or every 72 hours if you use fingerprint lock)

it doesnt work on S23 ultra, but I did include that code for previous versions of smart view advanced settings. This is like a new prompt that it shows just to access the hidden menu

its not, ive tried all device passwords for samsung account, lock screen, etc. It is something the app developers put i think, or updated cause older phones and smart view app versions dont have it

Should do the trick
