Twinview missed opportunity...? - ASUS ROG Phone II Accessories

I've done a lot of internet searching, and had a couple of chats with Asus support, but I could still be missing something. So, please, correct me if I'm wrong (especially if you have hands-on knowledge).
LG has a couple of phones that support adding a secondary screen with a case. When doing so, that secondary screen becomes able to be a touchscreen gamepad for the game on the top screen. Or a keyboard for the application on the top screen.
Everything I've found so far (and confirmed from support) indicates this is not possible with the Twinview. And support can't/won't comment on if it will become at all possible in the future.
It seems to me that this could be a pretty big selling point, especially considering the lack of game support currently in place...

I am pretty sure it will be possible, since you will use ROG PHONE 2 as a keyboard, and the second upper screen as the main screen, since it is 120Hz and got the same resolution of Rog Phone 2.
But I don't think it could be possible, or else they won't sell their KUNAI GAME PADS, since you can use a virtual pad on the lower screen, isn't it? But, a combo with virtual keyboard and main screen, morphing the rog phone into a laptop is very cool, in my opinion!

This would be a great feature/option for the twinview. But from hands-on experience, both screens independently work as its own. Unless supported like Asphalt 9.

Do you happen to have Pokemon GO? Can you tell me if you can use the TwinApps feature + Split Screen, and the TwinView dock to get 2 full size Pokemon GO? If you could try this (you don't need to register for it, just in the login screen is good enough) I'd be so appreciative.

Only few games are currently supporting twinview accessory. Such as Asphalt 9 supports it, so it ads a map/GPS type on phone screen with your controls and then actual driving screen on 2nd display above.
So it's up to the app developer to support this or not, it does not have anything to do with Asus or so.

Please help me find a program - Mouse

Currently, I am using a program called wireless keyboard. It lets me use my Computer Keyboard to type on my Android wirelessly. Pretty awesome. But I would like to know if there is a program that lets me use my Computer mouse to control android. Thanks.
BlueInput is supposed to have this functionality, though I haven't tried it (nor do I have an BT kb/mice).
-bZj
Might be a viable option, although pricey. I'm just worried that the BlueInput bt driver will not be/is not compatible with the 3.0 spec chips in our phones. Any word on this?
It's the exact opposite of your request, but I thought others may come here thinking this is what you meant. This app lets your phone turn into a wireless KB or mouse.

Curious, why would you want to do this man? Seems VERY un-user friendly.
My guess is that he wants it to get some games/apps working that don't support or don't work well with touch only input, ala Quake 3, Quake 2, etc.

Bingo! I actually have the keyboard working, I just need a program to let me navigate the Phone with my desktop mouse.
Don't know of anything yet really. But I think all that's going to integrated into CM6. I was watching some youtube video of the bluetooth mouse input, seems to work pretty well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWSWCqJfRaE
I don't think the mouse would be usable outside games/ possibly at all, until they find some way to at least render a onscreen pointer lol. Might be thinking backwards though.

yeah, other than for gaming purposes, I don't see a reason to use a mouse on our phones. Hopefully this will make it to CM's build.

[Q] Resizing Android applications (NOT resolution)?

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if there's a way to resize an Android application. I don't mean resizing the resolution, but I mean literally resizing the application so it only fits part of the screen.
Given the flexibility of Android I'd imagine this is possible, even though it would probably require root (isn't a problem for me).
You might be wondering why on earth I'd want this - well, simply put, it would be fantastic for multitasking. Nowadays there's a whole load of popup applications on the Play Store. But if say I run a popup video and browse the web, whenever I scroll to the top of the webpage, then half of that webpage will be covered up by the popup application. It quickly becomes more of a hassle than it's worth, because I'll have to keep moving around the popup video.
But if I could just force the browser to only take up half the screen, then I can very easily multitask with them.
So is this possible? Thanks in advance to anyone who has any info.
There are a few multi-tasking apps on the market but trust me, they all suck. I also have been looking into this and apparently this is harder done then said to have something like Samsung's Multi-Window.

That's a shame. I agree in regards to the popup apps though, it seems like anyone who makes them has no clue what even 'UI' means, haha. But irregardless it'd be really handy for this, since there are one or two actually handy popup apps.
So anyone else know of a way?
Why don't you use pie controls?
Edit: What kind of "multitasking" are you looking to do exactly?

Here's a good example of what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see half the screen takes up for a notes app, and half the screen takes up the browser. What I'm looking for would be something similar, or in the case I described, a potentially easy fix - shrinking down one app to only take up half the screen and using another popup app to take up the other half of the screen to mimic multitasking. It doesn't have anything to do with Pie.
Understand what I mean now?

Just Got My S9 Plus - A Couple Of Questions

Hi everyone,
I've just moved from my trusty LG G6 to a new SAmsung S9 Plus UK version (Exynos 9810) and so far I'm pretty happy, love the screen, the responsiveness and it's a lovely looking phone although slippery as a fish without a case, managed to find a good case/screen protector combo but took a while. Have gone for the Whitestone Doma which is an awesome screen protector but was really frustrated to get bubbles in the glue which shouldn't happen..
Anyway Its only really day 3 or 4 and I realise things may change in time but have some observations and wondered if anyone here could help please.
1) Standby drain, seems like many people have this so have downloaded Package Disabler Pro for Samsung and I am experimenting but its not anywhere near as good as my G6 at the moment. Guess this is trial and error but have already disabled much of the Samsung stuff, I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to system packages though as you never know if its going to mess things up completely.
2) On both the AOD and in the android shutter if I get 2 notifications from an app, they both show separately, I have a Xiaomi camera and if I get more than one alert of movement all notifications are separate and I wanted to know how to nest them so it only showed me once that I had notification for that app.. (hope that makes sense) cant find any way to do this. This isn't the problem of double notifications as I've seen but I hope you get what I mean.
3) LG has a built in service called Smart Settings which basically says things like if you go out of your current location turn Wi-fi off , when you get back into your location turn wifi on, if you start this app, turn on bluetooth, if you plug in headphones start this app.. etc..
It appears theres nothing like that on Samsung so could anyone recommend a 3rd part app that may help me achieve this as I miss it.
4) Does anyone know if S9 Plus will get 8.1? or will it go straight to P..
5) Forgot to add, I have a different photo viewer installed, I use F-Stop but for some reason in the camera app when you take a picture and press the gallery button it always defaults to the Samsung gallery app. Does anyone know how this can be changed please?
Thanks for listening guys, any help appreciated.
Wayne
1. Give it a couple of weeks for the system to settle. Just use it as it is without disabling any apps.
2. I don't know if you can do that system wide. I know some apps have that option.
3. Try LLama
4. No idea
5. Open settings and search for "default"
There you should be able to set default apps
I've provided a screenshot so you can see how it looks like
Hope it helps

LG V60 ThinQ dual screen stuck in windowed mode

Anybody else having issue with all apps on the second screen showing in windowed mode instead of full screen.
Since the last update it seems to have made the default setting to be windowed modem and no longer getting fullscreen.
I can't seem to get it to go back the way it was before.

I didn't want to start a new thread. Can someone tell me if the second screen has its own speakers and cameras?

It does not, all sound comes from the phone itself.
The back camera is a little clunky to use with the dual screen since you have to have it folded out basically into Tablet mode to take pictures but its not too bad.

Ok thank you for replying. I don't take many pictures and only asked because it looks like there is a camera notch. Shame, I really wish they'd included speakers with the dual screen.
Thanks again.
Yeah it was an odd design choice. There is a camera cutout but no camera to match the main screen i suppose.
There is also a less noticable speaker cutout.
So when you have the case closed you can answer calls using the google assistant button without opening the case and the phones speaker passes through.

They kept the camera cutout for the symmetrical appearance , which is good.
But unfortunately lg notch hideout option won't work on 2nd screen.
I hate notch that's the thing keep me not update to lg device since lg g6.
But because of their mobile shutdown i had to update to v60 from g6.​

Trying to get one-handed mode working for a disabled co-worker.

Hello all. My coworker lost a portion of her dominant thumb recently. She's on a Pixel 2 on Android 11. Is there any way she can permanently make the phone's screen only take up a smaller portion of the whole display? So in essence, to have a decent chunk of padding on the left and top parts of the screen so she can always reach every part of the screen?
Her phone is rooted. We tried a few DPI and resolution changer apps, but none of them did what we want which is to have a bunch of padding to the left and from the top, permanently.
Preferably the setting would be permanent and not needed to be turned on, and will work across all apps. We tried the "One-Handed Mode" module for Gravitybox but it did nothing when applied.
Is there any way to accomplish this with an ADB command or some sort of app that we haven't found yet?
Anyone?
If downgrading to Android 10 is an option, overscan would work like a charm.
wm overscan [reset|LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]
wm density [reset|DENSITY]
Google it...

Thanks for the snarky and useless reply; this video only makes the keyboard work with one hand, not the entire phone screen.

Sadly downgrading isn't an option but is there any way to do this in Android 11 if she's rooted?

Do some more searches.

Sorry to hear about "her" power tool incident.
The most important small appendage on the human body.
Texting will never be the same.
Short of a prosthetic or transplant, adaptation is the only alternative and all the former have their limits.
There's this on the Note's... it's in the firmware, not an app. whatever...

Yes which is why I specifically asked if it can be done on a Pixel phone that is rooted.
