Hi all so what I'm hoping is for something like Dex or EMUI 8 so you can plug in your EP1 and acts like a PC now I know it's not possible as a simple APK file however my question is do you think Google will add something down the line? Or even Essential themselves had an S8 for a while and loved the Dex mode however love the EP1 much more as a phone just missing the cherry on top which that would be for me. Thanks All.
I just picked up a Samsung Gear Fit 2 while it was on sale to give the Android smart watch experience a try! I was able to download the Samsung Gear app from the Play Store, but unfortunately, I get an error when I try to open the app that says:
Notice
The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.
After searching online for some fixes, some people seemed to have varying levels of success with modifying the build.prop file? A lot of people still had issues then connecting with the Gear device, or with things like the IR blaster being disabled when the manufacturer was changed in the build.prop file.
I'm currently using the MIUI 8 ROM.
Has anyone had success with getting the Samsung Gear app to work with a custom ROM? And if so, what was the fix?
For some reason this tablet cannot run the Samsung Smartthings app.
Is there anyone out there how knows why? And if there's anyway around it?
I've tried increasing RAM with swap file, but I can see on my phone that the app isn't using that much, and has used a maximum of 700mb at one point. I've tried changing the resolution to a supported one, but that didn't work either.
The only way that I have found to install the app, is sideloading it and install as a system app. But It wont run past the welcome screen. I was thinking that there were some android modules missing in the tablet, that have been removed by Samsung to make it run lighter?
Is there a way to install a clean full (non samsung)-android version on this tablet?
HI, I'm looking for a solution to launch Dex mode from the Note 9 quick settings (or from settings->advance features ) as it's currently possible using Samsung tablets.
This was possible from rooted Android 9, tweaking the build.prop file. Now I'm stuck with Android 10 and even after rooting, I cannot find a way to tweak the system files/port tablet apks to launch Dex locally from my phone.
I know the screen is small, warranty is lost and Knox is tripped.. I don't care. I'm just annoyed I cannot simply flash android 9 and get that mod working again, due to bootloader version (3 vs 5).
I'm seriously willing to pay $/€ any developer for a solution to achieve this. If interested, please contact me.
Thanks
Note 9 SM-N9600 512 - 8 Android 10, OneUI 2.5
i have an s8 which works fine but i want to connect the s9 to pc via dex over usb or wireless. the s8 cannot do this but the s9 can. i have to get a whole new phone for this one thing. before i get it i want to check if i can somehow use s8 to connect dex to pc. iv tried the other options like sidesync and flow but its better off to be dex. any info ? phone is rooted with android 9.
There are tutorials on YouTube about using Samsung DeX without the dock on Galaxy S8, even here on XDA there are some.

Even Galaxy S7 had it's shot on DeX on FloyedQ One UI 2.x ROM, provided by @ananjaser1211

I dont think you understand with what I meant.
I'm asking about Dex on PC (for Windows 7 & 10) or Mac.
So there is an app in Windows/Mac called Dex on PC that allowed us to project the Dex environment on our PC/Mac.
I'm not asking about Dex that project to monitor (either through HDMI or Wireless).

I believe he means the DeX feature mentioned here, but he wants it without the "Expensive DeX Dock" that is required for S8/S8+/N8 Series.
DeX itself was originally meant to use phone on bigger, desktop-like screens, then it extended to Windows and Mac, of which requires a Samsung DeX Software to be installed, and when you connect your phone with PC, a pop-up will show on the phone regards DeX.

DexOnPC is only available on Android 10 , i dont remember any pie phone with it
the S8 on stock only runs HDMI dex. if your phone is exynos, you can flash our rom which will give you Dex on pc and wireless dex https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-10-hadesrom-q-v1-0-for-exynos-s8-s8-note8-26-12-2020.4208409/
tho do be noted, it is a V1, it has bunch of bugs, it might be better to wait for V2.0 to drop sometime soon i hope.
also do know that DoP is quite bad, it runs at 20 frames most of the time, rarely hits 30, and thats the case on the S8, S9 (i own the S9) and the S10. i dont even think they made it 60 FPS on the S20 and up models
DeX on HDMI is the way to go if you want a smooth experience
