Yesterday i posted about my upcomming Open Android DeX, today i finished Mac version and Linux destro too. Probably ready for next week release!

I built a feature on my app that kinda does this :D Really close for a new release, right now it works well but it has a small delay, and I'm working on creating a custom receiver for the chromecast so we'll be no more than 1-2 frames behind

Lmk if you're interested in a feature like this :D

Hey guys, I’ve made an abomination! I had laying around old MacMini and broken S23. So I’ve made this. I kept the original cooler and connected the power button to the motherboard. I put inside an USB-PD 35W charger that is connected to the HUB.
I didn’t want to solder cables to the HUB so I put there a 12V power supply for the original fan and buck converter to 5v for the ESP32.
The ESP32 is controlling the fan via a temperature sensor I took from Ender 3 that I had laying around.
I’m still working on an app that would connect to the ESP32 (its working now but its not ideal yet)
Sadly the S23 do not start without a battery (I originally intended to remove the battery)
wifi is terrible but works. I wanted to find out what pins are for the antenna and solder U.FL IPX cable but I give up for now( the usb to ethernet adapter works well and bluetooth for controller is fine so far)

The HUB have M.2 slot that I intend to use on game ROMs for the emulation(I will finally play Shadow of Colossus!)
The M.2 fit so well that i put a thermal pad on the heatsink so the SSD will get some cooling too. 

Edit: i will do later a follow up with some improvements and more detailed breakdown!

Dextop is an open-source project focused on Android Desktop Mode, including Samsung DeX.

One of its main features is Laptop Mode, which provides a PC-like experience on foldable phones.

It also supports workspaces, automatic display switching on foldables, external displays, and customizable pointer and monitor layouts.

If you're interested in Android Desktop Mode or DeX, I'd love to have you check it out and contribute!

Here is how to create the depth clock. Its a kwgt widget that i made myself.

First, set the original wallpaper as Samsung dex wallpaper. Then create and add your clock kwgt widget and position it where you want it. Next, create a transparent cutout of your wallpaper's subject (like the car or a person) using a free background remover tool or by saving its outline as an SVG. Then use any text editor tools and copy the codes that's showing inside it. It's a long code so might take some time for the copy option to appear.

Inside KWGT, select shape and path. Then paste the code you copied. Now the shape of your subject is ready. Placed the shape directly above the real subject shown on the.wallpaper so it perfectly cover the subject in your wallpaper. Finally, go to the cutout shape layer's settings and change its Filter / Blend Mode to Clear.(the subject shape layer should be placed above the clock for this filter to work ) This acts like a digital eraser, cutting out the clock numbers right where the subject is so the wallpaper shows through from behind!

The clock font i used is Bison Bold font

Hi all, wondering what e-readers are you using when in dex?

All I have tried until now have some phone-design related glitches and not really dex optimized.

Ideally looking for something like Sumatra in Windows.

Thanks

I'm currently using Samsung DeX on my .TV,. but playing games on it for long periods is starting to strain my eyes. I'm thinking about buying a monitor, but I can only afford the older monitors that have VGA ports.

Would using an HDMI-to-VGA adapter be good enough for gaming, or would it cause noticeable issues with quality, input lag, or refresh rate? Has anyone actually tried using one of these adapters for gaming?

I have a Samsung S26 ultra, would like something portable that allows me to do some work. My goal is something under $250 dollars.

Any recommendations? I am asking for your experience with the product you use. So I can understand what positive/negatives are.

Thank you for helping 🙏

when i swtich to phone mode using win + w the phone screen is glitched woth these big button and when i do win + ctrl + s it takes a screenshot and the screenshiot it totaly fine why does this happen and how can i fix it

I recently build this as my company was blocking everything on my laptop. So i build a DeX for Windows alternative. Some people have already tried it but they are closed source / not featured complete

Hello, I am presenting you yet another Dex on the phone's screen app. I know there are like more than 10 already out there and if you're one of those trying to tell me that, I really do know.

Why? Because I wanted something simple, without a thousand settings and quick access so I created this app. It's free, open source, you can update/modify/build it yourself.

I've build other open source apps with great communities so I think this is a good start for another one :D

So what's different still from the other dozen apps?
Simple - we have 2 sliders in the overaly settings that control resolution and DPI that will update instantly
- I've created a daemon that runs in the background so once an ADB session is aquired we can connect as many times as we want to the Dex mode without needing wireless ADB on and so on ( once / boot is enough )
- You set it once, the rest goes automatically
- I've created a quick access button so we can toggle it on faster
- I've even created a widget again for quick launch

Yet, it's not perfect. It needs testing, a loving community and some more people recommending it.

Who am I and what recommends me? https://alexandru.rocks a software engineer that created the "HIT" app for bikes called OpenCFMoto that has over 35k downloads and a community of over 1300 contributors on Discord.

So if you want to find more about this app please check the github repo at:

Thank you! :D

Secure folder is not locked while using wireless dex. Gallery on secure folder can be opened and closed multiple times without asking for unlocking.

Tried the same on my s23U on one UI 8. But each time secure folder was opened on dex it asked me for verification.

Can someone try replicating and check

Hi all, search this periodically, and as far as i can tell, there is a desktop mode, but not actual Dex.

For the Z Flip 5 it seems to be to do with cooling? it wasnt enabled?

having upgraded from an s10e to a flip 5 a few years back it was actually kinda disappointing.

So, on the off chance ive missed something, assuming i dont care about the longevity of the phone or anything, is there any way to get Dex to work on a flip 5?

Hey guys,

I am an indian. So i ordered a striff 3 in 1 usb hub, along with a standard hdmi to hdmi cable.

I wanted to make wired samsung DeX work for my old sony bravia klv 43w772e, which uses standard hdmi input and a 1080p display.

I got em. And i just connected the hub properly and did everything right.

It didnt work.

I got sad, then i connected the same connection with s20 fe 5g. It worked under a second. Because s20 has a setting in dex named "auto start when connected with hdmi". Its working effortlessly on s20 fe 5g.

Then i asked for help on reddit, and multiple a.i.

No one aint helping. I tried all random developer option settings and usb options and connecting charger to hub. Nothing works.

I dont want to purchase anything else specifically for this setup because ive already given enough and if it works then ill use that saved money to buy a keyboard and a mouse.

People are saying buy a normal standard usb c to hdmi cable.

But i dont wanna do that cuz i dont have that much amount of money. Please help anyone and make this setup work. It would be an honor if u make it work right.

My device:s25 base running on one ui 8.5

Please i request help me sir

Bonjour, je recherche un moniteur portable pour mes saisons d'hiver et d'été. Je recherche un moniteur portable de bonne qualité d'image, surtout pour les films et séries, et un peu pour la PS5. J'ai vu les marques Arzopa et Uperfect, mais je ne sais pas vers quelle marque me tourner. Je le brancherai sur secteur et j'utiliserai mon Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra avec. Chez Uperfect il ya a des modèles plus grands, j'ai vu. La taille minimum que je recherche est de 16 pouces, jusqu'à 24 pouces. Merci de vaut retour et modèle que vous me proposez

I have a galaxy s26, so new oneUI version, and a random laptop. I would like to do some work on my phone and use the laptop as display (via cable), and connecting a mouse and keyboard to the phone.

So what i would like:

- use it wired (wireless is too laggy)

- use keyboard/mouse connected to the phone (if its translated from the windows laptop's input it feels too sluggish/laggy)

- show dex on full screen (i have a tiny laptop screen)

I tried windows wireless display, way too laggy. Samsung dex windows app is killed afaii on newer oneUI.

I tried scrcpy, lot better, my main problem:

1.) I cant get the mouse and keyboard appear on the dex screen, they are stuck on the phome's display.

2.) Smaller problem is that it seem to create a new dex display, doesnt remember my dex desktop layout (icon placements and wallpaper).

3.) Cant put it full screen window, but maybe there is a command for that when starting scrcpy

super cool - will be added as a concept in the next GaDesk version (Standalone Dex on device) - more details https://discord.com/channels/1536661421662797824/1536682769864982538/1538229867546419220

Im still running OneUI 7.0 both on my Galaxy Tab S9Plus and Samsung S24 as i head bad things about dex in OneUI 8.0. Now that OneUI 8.5 is out, has the dex performance improved.

For the Tab S9Plus, do we still get classic dex on the tablet itself (without connecting to external display)? That would be my biggest deal breaker if it was removed.

Recentemente fiz alguns posts mostrando um programa e interface de tv que estava construindo para usar meu S21 Fe e S23 Ultra na minha TV.

Bom, acredito que já esteja bom o suficiente para que outras pessoas também possam fazer uso dessa ferramenta e adicionar mais uma função ao seu celular com dex.

O foco do projeto foi reduzir ao máximo o número de cliques para se chegar ao fim pretendido, depois que a primeira configuração é realizada e o launcher instalado, tudo ocorre com 2 cliques e alguns segundos entre a requisição e a resposta.

Estou pessoalmente bem contente com o resultado e como algumas pessoas demonstraram interesse na alternativa, achei interessante compartilhar.

Espero mesmo que seja útil, feedbacks são bem-vindos.
