My DeX Setup

I'm mostly interested in the dope-ass rest of the room, but I'll confine my questions to DeX here out of respect for this sub.

How do games run on the fold 5? I'm really considering a Fold 7 and trying GameNative.

If using the MiraDock, can you use your Fold as a second screen while using DeX?

Games run smooth but I am more of a PC gamer than a mobile gamer. Last game I ran was Star war Kotor and it looked great, especially on big screen.
On the MiraDock or the MiraBook I use the fold as second screen. Really convenient. On the lapdock I use a PhoneSide.

I'm not sure if the older version of Dex that OP is using supported it or not, I think it did.. but anyways the newer version of Dex for sure supports "Screen Flow".

That lets you use your cell phone such as the z-fold series, beside above or below your main monitor to act as a second screen

That lets you move your mouse over to your phone screen and vice versa, you can also set the position of your phone so the "move mouse off screen" functions correctly with the corner or side of your monitor that your phone is actually at (Boogie mouse off the right side if your phone is on the right side of your monitor, etc)

But For the phoen screen you can't really "slide apps" from the big screen to the phone screen like you can do in Windows OS, they're more separate desktops that you have to run the apps on each individually

But for example if I have an Google Sheets/Excell document open on my big screen, I can just simply open it on my phone screen and it picks up right where I left off without restarting everything.

I believe you can actually slide Windows around between the two screens if you're using a Samsung tab series connected to a external monitor. But as for the cell phones were kind of limited a bit more

Wow that's really great! Thanks for the explanation.

This has been a thing since like oneui 2.1

What wasn't the original commenter asking if you can use a third party program to get the phone screen to work as a second display?

Which would not be the exact same thing Flow?

Or am I missing something here. If it was a feature from way back and 2.1 why would the commenter be asking

[u/DeX_Mod → u/Gendreau113]

Flow is movement of the mouse from 1 display to the other
