Hi!
I think first of all, if you want to use the phone at it fully potential, you need to activate the LG keyboard to use the keyboard in fullscreen on a screen.
Secondly, you need to use the Whale navigator or Google Chrome to have the better potential to navigate on the Internet.
Finally, I can propose you to download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
Whit this app, you can put any apps in fullscreen on the two screens.
Bonus : If you like to play with DS Emulator, try Drastic with the LG Gamepad. It's like play again with a Nintenso DS! *.*

You need to take the app right here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsemu.drastic
Then, you need to download a Nintendo DS game in .nds format (example Pokemon Diamond). You put the file in a folder and you open it with the app.
(Note : I think you need to open the LG Gamepad on the other screen before to launch the app, because sometime the gamepad doesn't work when you open it after in my case.)

Another game changer app is dual launch for lg
We can custom apps which we can open in pair with this app.very helpful

[Q] Playing android games on PC?

I know this is a weird question but is it possible to play android games on pc with an emulator or something? I heard that there is an android emulator for pc so you can check out the os design and stuff like that but is it possible to install games (.apk) on it and play it?
Thanks for answers.
The Android SDK comes with an emulator, and you can use adb to install apps onto it, but it is incredibly slow!

Though that's likely to not work with some games - if they've used any C++ code, that'll be compiled for the Arm CPU rather than x86
Youwave for Android works great! My son wanted to play Robodefense on the PC so I found this little piece of software that's simple and uses .apk files I had on my G-Tablet.

yes its possible, i dont have the software though . but i believe you can find it, use google
I had high hopes for youwave after installing Android SDK and packages (They were really slow). Youwave seems nice and quick, but the first two apps I tried to play wouldn't work due to them not being supported by youwave
You can use Emulators to play games on PC
Some emulators come with inbuilt app store from which you can install and play the games.
For example Youwave. But they do have limitation like they cannot handle games that use ARM native code.
Also some famous games like fruit ninja , Angry Birds are available to be played online itself.

FPse - Best settings?

Hi guys, I bought this app called FPse for android, so that I could play old PS games on my tablet.
I wanted to play some old aventure games, right now I'm trying the first harry potter game, and it lags as hell. Does anyone other than me have this app? I can't find the best combination of settings in order to get the game to play fine.

that app is a bit glitchy, i like Psx4Droid.
but some common setting that work well are
1. use the scph1001.bin as your bios. it's the newer bios file and has fewer conflicts with games
2.set the cycle multiplier as high as possible.
3.dont enable CDDA music.
4. enable frame skipping
hope that helps

Remix Os - As a gaming platform

Remix OS seems to run almost all the games I threw at it. All apps have worked too without any problem. Good job devs.
However, when I play Republique, faith gets stuck on the beginning of the level. Does anybody have a solution to it? It runs fine on my phone, but on remix she gets stuck.
EDIT: Okay, got it running. Here is a tip: To ensure that games work properly on remix os, right click on the game icon and select "Open in Fullscreen Mode". That should solve any problem regarding any games. Maybe, this trick also works if any app malfunctions. Hope this helps.

Make sure to not play games in window mode. Right click the game icon and select "Open in Fullscreen Mode". That should do the trick.
Also for flash embedded games, go download the legacy android flash player from adobe website.

Okay, I can confirm that unreal engine based games dont run. Epic citadel crashed as soon as I tap the screen to play. Does anybody else have a solution to it. All unity based games work just fine.

LG G8x App list

Hey guys. I just got the phone. Does anyone have a list of app/games that support dual screen? Google searches are not providing much luck to me. Also I see some games that are supposed to support the game pad don't seem to work with the game pad app. Seems like a very good phone, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to utilize it. I know Chrome does and its awesome for multitasking. Having both my fantasy football leagues up at the same time is amazing. Thanks for the help!
I guess its slim pickens....
Yea, since this is technically the 1st phone of its kind(Axon M withstanding), apps that support the tech are scarce. With the Microsoft Duo coming though, developers are bound to jump on the train by this time next year.
Whale Naver browser (omnitasking)
Some Korean 5G services
Pirate of Caribbean (dual)
Asphalt 9
Shadowgun legends
All PWA (progressive web apps) supports extended wide view. Just 'add to homescreen' on supported webs (https://Twitter.com for example)
So just to clarify, I could not get any game to natively support the dual screen view. You can launch the game and the LG Game Launcher to pop up the controller on the bottom. Whether the app supports the controller or not, it opens up the controller. Then if the game supports it, you get the notification that a controller is connected. I was able to play Asphalt 9 with the controller. I was not able to find, install, or test the Pirates of Caribbean (Dual) version of the app. I can find and install the normal version, but I didn't bother with it.
Thanks for the posts guys. Hopefully more people will post useful apps and games as they become available. I really thought I would find a list on Google, but only getting reviews of the phone.
Yeah it's kind of disappointing right now. Even though COD Mobile says it's support controller that LG Game-pad does not connect. You can go in and modify your own configuration for the game but for a game like COD it might be a bit tedious. I was playing around with Trials and since there is only a few buttons to map I was able to get that custom setup. They advertised the LG Game-pad to work with any game that supports a controller. Well that might be partially true. So far Asphalt 9 is the only game that works with the LG Game-pad default controller configs. I tested COD and NBA 2K20 which both support controllers and neither work without having to build your own custom config.
I don't know the name of those apps

MOGA gaming controller

I'm having trouble getting a gaming controller to work with this phone. It connects via Bluetooth and when I open the Xbox game pass app to play a game. It will only enable the buttons. Non of the joysticks or d-pad respond in game. I would imagine its just a settings issue with the phone,but I don't know what settings to try and change. Anyone else have this problem. My phone is the at&t LG V60 thinQ version
