Warning!! Do not install goodlock on the fold 2 It will brake apps moving to the cover screen.
Okay so today i had a major issue after receiving my fold 2, Basically when i enabled an app to go over to the cover screen and then closed my phone on said app, the phone would just lock and then app would not appear on the cover screen and i had to unlock it every time, and no matter what i do or settings you enable there was no way to fix it, I know this feature because i use it on the OG fold with no problems.
After three factory resets i manged to nail it down to the goodlock app causing the problem, At first i thought it was me copying the settings from my old fold, But on my third factory reset, I tried enabling an app to move to cover screen and it worked, I did not copy any of my settings or apps over this time and then i only installed goodlock as i had a feeling and ran the app, and suddenly that app to cover screen was not working again, Uninstalling good lock clearing the cache and restarting do not fix it, The only way to fix it is by doing a factory rest.
So i did that copied over everything for my og fold other than goodlock and it works fine and allows apps to move over to the cover screen when you close the fold, Even running the goodlock app once will brake the move apps to cover screen feature on your fold 2 so do not run it until an update from Samsung.
The issue only exists on the fold 2 and goodlock works fine with moving apps to the cover screen on the fold 1.

Is that confirmed?
And is that for the main Good Lock app, or some specific applet from Good Lock?
There is just so much great functionality in Good Lock that would really suck if we cannot use it.
Thank you in advance for any insight.​

I am pretty sure it is for multi star then one than let's you edit the aspect ratios, but I am not installing it to find out ??
vageliz
Anyone that has received their Z Fold2, that is willing to test by installing the Good Lock without Multi Star?​

Wow, that sucks. I was hoping to use good lock to change the folder layout since I hate it when I open a folder and it takes up the entire screen. Thanks for the heads up.

I've Good Lock installed on my Fold2, with Smart Switch copied all from Fold to Fold2:
NO problems at all with apps going to cover screen when closing the device.

LOL: are you kidding?
I don't want to reset my device, everything's working OK now... :highfive:

Actually if you just uninstall multistar and restart your Fold 2 everything starts working again. No need to factory reset. I know cause I just had this same issue happen to me and that's all I had to do.

Yes I am from India but recently I shifted to Netherlands and bought Galaxy Z Fold2 from here itself. (Though its very cheap in India compare to but I couldn't wait :silly

Look for Nicelock its has the modules like Good lock

Samsung MultiStar 3.3.40
An update of MultiStar has been released, that fixes the "App continuity"-bug (Main to Front screen):
I♡Galaxy Tablet added. (Tablet only)
-Supports wireless keyboard sharing (Try using the keyboard book cover as a BT keyboard on your phone)
-Whenever possible, we added a feature that supports vertical apps to display as much as possible in landscape mode.
I♡Galaxy Foldable (foldable only)
-Fixed a non-operation error that continues to use the front screen
Samsung MultiStar 3.3.40 (Android 10+)

Good Lock just provided an update to MultiStar that corrects this issue.

Use Nice Lock, it's basically good lock, but you don't have to worry about masking location to use it, I have the same problem, and also have good lock, but using nice lock is just easier

Get it from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-nicelock-goodlock-2019-launcher-pie-t3908648

Good Lock is now available in Europe. No need to use a VPN or NiceLock anymore.

I have Nicelock/Goodlock on my Chinese variant, it and all it's modules work just fine.

Loads on my US Galaxy S3 (Verizon). Weather won't load. Says "Enable location services and mobile data to update weather" both of which are enabled (I turned Wi-Fi off, I have full 4G, etc). Looks good other than no weather. I will have to try more later. Thanks for posting.

Drive Link was doing the same for me since I installed it shortly after Denny uploaded it (thanks btw!). It suddenly kicked into life this afternoon for no apparant reason, so it may be worth persisting with it.
Got to say despite a handful of niggles, I do like it as an in-car player etc. The full screen seems to work fine on my stock note.
Niggles I have found are that:
Media control from my Bluetooth car stereo does not work, with or without the media control app from the play store.
scrobbling to last.fm doesn't work (so my playing stats are going down)
There is no easy way I have found to skip back to the drive now app from navigation, other than long pressing the home button and switching using task manager, which seems a bit clunky
I am still trying to find way to add a "shuffle all" button as a shortcut, instead of selecting "All Songs", playing, and then shuffling.
It has not automatically picked up my starred locations from Google Maps/Navigation
Other than that I like it a lot, and am hughly appreciative of Denny for posting the APK.
word of warning to anyone that wants to use this with mirror link (specifically a sony HU) this on my note caused my HU to boot loop. had to reset it
Installed yesterday and got same issue with weather and location but turned on this morning and working fine. Ill have to play around with it today when get a chance.
Thanks

[APP] Screen Off Memo [Update: 21 Sept 2015]

It's been a while but here is another app I would like to share with those still using the Note 3 like me while waiting for the Note 6 perhaps.
Screen Off Memo is a feature I like on the Note 5 and so I decided to make one for my Note 3. I have not held a Note 5 yet so I don't know how the screen off memo works except what I saw on video reviews so the app may not be as perfect but it works for what I need it for. Any feedback would be welcome.
UPDATE - 21 Sept 2015
- fixed some issues with spen detachment starting the app even when unlocked
- toned the brightness of the icons as well as the pen strokes to reduce glare and offer more readability
- fixed issue with pen thickness in the v1.2 (some users like it thicker - I might include some settings to set user prefs in the future)
- adding new notes will trigger separate notification
Hopefully the issue specially on the Note 4/Edge has been solved.
Screen Off Memo version 1.3 can be downloaded below.
Install and RUN at least once from the app drawer so the app will be registered for the broadcast action when spen is detached. To enable the app to lock the screen when spen is attached, you must activate/enable it in Settings>Security>Device Administrator.
Based on user feedback I have retained the simplicity of the app. Just added ability to add new memo. Changed some icons for simpler ones. Cleaned up the code a bit to make it run faster and as little footprint as possible. Added option to turn off screen when pen is attached. And of course, it would now run on most Note devices (API 19 & above).
The app would also run on other Galaxy devices without spen but only when launched from the app drawer. But I am trying to find a way to trigger on the lockscreen maybe via a floating button but still a work in progress. I may work on it if there is demand but otherwise might just focus on the Note series.
At the moment I am testing an immersive mode version where no virtual buttons on the screen... just a whole screen of black space to doodle on and using sensors to toggle pen and eraser or the toolbar. Still a work in progress though but we'll see....
Anyway have fun and still your suggestions are welcome. But please keep the thread on topic.
It is a free app but please don't redistribute it nor modify it for redistribution. I don't mind if you include it in a ROM as long as the info page is intact.
Credits: BIG THANKS to @and2, @swiss420 and some others I don't know their xda usernames for their support.
Installed it on my note 3 but it just crashes when tried to open app.
If you're trying to make it work like note 5 then it should work when you pull your s-pen out while the screen is off.
And you can start writing on the screen and save it to memo app or note app.
Tried this app but it didn't work will wait to try it out if updated to new version. I don't know how to give you crash log. Sorry.
Nice Try @xperiacle
Edit - I got it working by changing my model number in build.prop SM-N9005
You might also wana look into this app @oluwaponmile

One issue I have is that when I try to reach that note in S Note, I have to pull it down, open in action memo, and then click the S Note icon on the bottom right part of action memo to open it in S Note. Is it possible to make it simpler, so that just clicking in S Note would open it in S Note?
@xperiacle I missed your genius mate. Thank you. Just a question is it possible to start the app while the screen is off or don´t i just find it? Or because i use the Note 5 Air Command?
Do you have a bit more time now? I think i´ll buy a Note Edge and wait for the Note 7 maybe there is again a sd card slot and i wanne play with the edge.

As soon as I release Spen when phone is locked, it opens this app for me. Before this app, screen was unlocked when Spen was released

I agree, but when I write to full screen in this app, in action memo I can't see the whole text/image I have drawn in this app, I see it in a window only.
Suggestion, would that be possible to prevent the screen to wake up when the S pen is dettached and re-attached back? Like in this video [emoji14]

I tried it on a SG Note Edge 5.01. but is not working correctly. I install it and when I remove the SPen the app opens for 1-2 secs and it closes. I don't know if this could be fixed somehow.

I think the Screen Off Memo of the Note 5 does not actually mean the screen is off. It is ON but samsung designed the screen off memo app to run before the lockscreen shows up and on exit turns the screen off at the same time. We get the impression that it is off because of the black theme used which is true black on amoled screens. Samsung can do this because it can tweak framework/system code the way it likes and since it is a system app it has almost all the system level permissions to control the device lockscreen. My Screen Off Memo app does not have the system level access to control lockscreen waking up or turning off so to answer your question, NO I don't think it is possible for the app to run with screen actually off.
I also made a clone of the Note 5 Air Command with more shortcuts but I am still polishing it. Will share when I am satisfied with it.
In case you get the Note Edge, I made some edge panel apps that I have not released yet. Just let me know and I will send them to you.

Well saving and opening it directly in Snote app is possible. I am not sure how many users would want the app to behave that way but depending on the number of feedback then I might do it that way in the next update.

ok I see, I noticed when leaving an app it locks it immediately, would be good if you could add time before app locks again, then we can set a custom value for example 30 seconds...

Great app, (and I'm not criticizing at all) but if the phone is locked via fingerprint anyway, why is this necessary? Purely curious

Now you can lock your mobile apps using your fingerprint.
• No Peaking in recent apps
• Fully optimized
• No battery Drain
Note :
• you must register your fingerprint in your device
[Settings]> [Security]> [Nexus Imprint]
• Turn On Accessibility Service , this app will not work without enabling it.
[Settings]>[Accessibility]> turn on > [App Locker : Service]
• Enable Device Admin to prevent unauthorized uninstall.
[Settings]> [Security]> [Device Administrators]> turn on > [App Locker]
Please let me know your thoughts and review.

Good work on this. A few things.
Somebody already mentioned the timeout after exiting an app.
What about the app icon on the screen where it asks for the fingerprint?

This is so you can choose specific apps to require your fingerprint to open. It's not necessary but is additional security some people can appreciate.
Let's say you let someone borrow your phone to make a call or look at a video. Then they get nosy and want to check out your text messages... Or maybe they want to be funny and open up Snapchat/Instagram and post something funny on your behalf. Having these apps locked will avoid all that.

Guys please check the update , its awesome
You can see the app contents in the recent apps menu and when you open an app, it will show the contents for a split second before the fingerprint scanner shows up. That screen also looks like something out of iOS, it doesn't look material and the arrows to go to the pin could lol better or say PIN so there's some sort of indication you can switch. Otherwise, it does as it says and works well. You should also add a option to disable based on WiFi network or location.

If you use SamsungSans font the icons remains in huge size. Change to the default font and test.
Yes i am using it , it has a strange lag that i didnt experienced on original s7 edge nougat launcher , but on the good side the scrolling in menu and app drawer is smooth.
I tried changing font and nothing. I mean maybe I got used to nova, and these icons are big to me. I have theme from this forum, s8 dark, thaf requires theme store to be disabled. Maybe that is a problem?
Also, there is no option to remove widget from home screen, and no hard press to uninstall apps???

Here is no lag on home screen, working perfectly. Try clear data on Touchwiz application (remember this restore all shortcuts and pastes to default).

I did that already , its not usual lag , it appears when closing apps in recents and scrolling home screens , and really is weird and looks like a bug or optimisation problem , it happens sometimes but not all the time , but app drawer opening and scrolling in menu is smoother and i can live with it , remember that we are using unsupported launcher so problems could happen even as far as phone not booting up or stuck at boot , also if any problem happens to our phone and we go to claim warranty at samsung , they will deny warranty as we are using unsupported software , happened with my friend who was using nova launcher.
Thanks mate

I did that already , its not usual lag , it appears when closing apps in recents and scrolling home screens , and really is weird and looks like a bug or optimisation problem , it happens sometimes but not all the time , but app drawer opening and scrolling in menu is smoother and i can live with it , remember that we are using unsupported launcher so problems could happen even as far as phone not booting up or stuck at boot , also if any problem happens to our phone and we go to claim warranty at samsung , they will deny warranty as we are using unsupported software , happened with my friend who was using nova launcher.

I had never seen to lose the warranty for installing an application authorized by the Play Store. If it was any installed by being rooted or something, I'd understand.

Guys, anyone can give hints regarding this rectangle appearing in folder view after installing this updated launcher. It was not there before updating to this launcher. And yes i already did clear cache and data, but this rectangular line still there.

Install the latest apk from apkmirror and there is no lag. Don't know why you guys going to sammobile and using old apk.
S8 launcher working since last 3 months on s7 edge.

Enable secure start up in security and restart it device. It will get installed later you can turn it off.

Bro i can confirm this , samsung pakistan sucks , my friend's phone got in a bootloop and hanged on startup , so he got in samsung care in lahore and they said its due to unsupported software installation and they didnt fixed it , he never knew a single thing about techs or rooting , he said he just installed nova launcher , after that i got his phone and did a factory reset and when i checked it wasn't rooted and knox warranty void was 0x0 , so after resetting i advised him to go in another service centre for his screen problems , and then they did repair with no issues , so these things may not happen in other countries due to strict customer protection laws , but i will advise anyone before going in service center always do a factory reset.
So no one else notices the extra and annoying padding at the top and by the dock when using any version of the S8 launcher on the S7 Edge? It's basically a deal breaker for me. If anyone has figured out how to get rid of the wasted empty space I'm all ears. I'm not rooted and on stock.

Question How can I remove this from home Screen?

Wondering if someone can please help me to remove this circle area. I don't really want that on home screen. I could rather use widget.
It is not possible without root or another launcher.
Home Settings - At A Glance
Google really fakced up this time. Probably said before but they're really lost!

Yes you can, this has been posted and explained here before not too long ago. You need to be rooted and if I'm correct use the xposed framework

Exactly , I was about to post that screenshot to ask lol. Just received 7 pro a hour ago and was setting it up. Thanks bud.
As an alternative, you can just set up another home screen without At A Glance.
Lawnchair or nova your best bet
I used Niagara for a couple of days and paid for the full version this morning. Love the 'empty' screen!
Please tell me how to remove this information from the locked screen? a flashlight also appears instead of the date ((very annoying. There are no lock screen settings in AOSP.

Are you using a Pixel 7?
Your best bet for fixing the flashlight issue is to probably install a Pixel Launcher, stock or modded and customize your At A Glance settings. As for the lock screen weather, not so sure you can turn that one off.

I installed the standard pixel, turned off everything that was possible, the flashlight disappeared, but I can’t remove the date and weather. phone pixel 7 pro
Home Settings >> At a Glance >> See more features >> Disable Weather.
Unfortunately, I am not sure how to remove the date. My apologies there.

It was the same on my 4XL. It's nuts that they put that on the homescreen. Every morning when I turn the phone on, I have to swipe left to get to the homescreen I want to use. I don't want to root, or change the launcher. Back in the day, I was able to choose the homescreen page I wanted.
