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 😊

LOL you do that a lot don't you?
I can see it right now lol. Enjoy doing so in whatever pitch you like.

'Please go away.' lol like really? lol. wow, just wow!

[Vyuv]

I would like this also.

I am actually a Tab user, currently a Tab S7 but shortly a Tab S8 Ultra. I have recently descovered the joys of multiple displays. I have the tablet and either a 21.5" 12v TV (I live on a narrowboat on the canal here in the UK so 240V is in limited supply) or a Samsung 34" ultra-wide monitor at work. I would really love to be able to run DeX on both screens symultaneously and be able to move apps from one scree to the other by dragging with the mouse the same as you can on a windows setup.

There! a proper REAL-World use case environment that benefits a travelling/nomadic like user. Le t the oceans and the seas be with you @PeterJMilner!

An Extended desktop - in Samsung Dex to reside Home/Primary on internal Fold + Portal Monitor (like an Asus Gaming monitor) would be huge.
PS: as long as the internal screen for the Z Fold 6 onward gets native 144/160/240hz support with much much higher touch sampling rates - affectively improving S-Pen use/support would be great.

yes, this would be such a nice feature to have! even if not fully supported, maybe an experimental version that could be enabled in labs would be fine

[TheMRP]

YES. We need this ! ! !

[AlekLyer]

This would be a great feature. It would definitely help me work on the move, where pulling out my laptop may not be possible.

YES, this was my first thought when messing with my new fold! It will truly take this new line to another level.
