DeX on Fold's inner display

[nickthaskater]

Here's DeX running directly on a Galaxy Note 9 phone display - no external monitor needed: https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/18v38fx/hell_yes/ 

Samsung can easily make this work on the Fold (or any other device for that matter), they just choose not to.

Please allow DeX to be used directly on the Fold's inner display when unfolded, just as you can on the Tab S devices. This has been demonstrated to be possible with a rooted device - see: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/add-more-features-to-oneui-5-beta-rayos-rom-or-stock-rooted-oneui...

Add "standalone" to the line in /system/etc/floating_features.xml <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_DEX_MODE>dual,wireless,dexforpc</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_DEX_MODE> so it becomes <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_DEX_MODE>dual,wireless,dexforpc,standalone</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_DEX_MODE> 

After applying, the DeX UI will be available on the phone's local display - no external display needed.​

This would be a perfect showcase of DeX being the next generation in mobile computing - being a PC that can be folded up and fit in your pocket, then unfolded and used as a desktop without the need to connect to an external display.

Xioami already showed this concept in action with their recent folding device - it ought to be a no-brainer for Samsung too DeX to be used this way directly on the Fold's display, too.

I was really hoping the Fold 3 would implement this feature, but it didn't, and that literally stopped Mr from buying it. Should this feature be added in an update, or committed to for the Fold 4, consider me sold.

Anyone else share this sentiment? Thanks 😊

Would be logical to add this feature.

Come on Samsung, please make it happens!
7️⃣is the lucky number, isn't it?

With the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC then we'd have much more performance. I'm still not wanting a custom ROM without full details of what it contains, but I am in agreement of Samsung supporting this natively.

At the very least it should be an option to use on the inside screen of the fold devices.  Please enable this feature!

Why won't Samsung listen to its users? First the ZFold6 fiasco, then OneUI7 and still this, I'm growing increasingly frustrated with Samsung. They're supposed to be above the Apple disgusting corporate practices, but now Samsung behaves exactly like them.

Great question! I wish I knew. It's sad seeing them fall from where they were circa Note 10 and original Z Fold.
