system/priv-app/knoxdesktoplauncher on note9 is 8mb on note 10 is 14mb
desktomnodeuiservice is 3.6 vs 5.8mb on note 10
systemuidesktop is 25 vs 18mb on note 10
it might not working due to differents on this apps, or different system/libs, i tried to put this apps on my note via magisk but when i connect to pc desktopmode service is crash

Welp, sad but expected... This is quite a brand new device, needs some tweaking...
Anyway, thanks for the testing :D

oh, i will try and root my note and test this asap :D

Keep in mind that it trips Knox (hardware thing) and if you ever need your phone to be repaired by Samsung they'll add the cost of a new motherboard to fix the "issue" the motherboard is pennies less than a brand new phone.

Also, this Dex on PC might only come when Samsung decided to backport it to the Note 9 as they did for Linux on Dex for the S9 and others.

if we open a petition for samsung ?, I bet the 845 is capable of doing the same thing, abd I'm pretty sure one UI already supports video over USBC but disabled.

I unzipped DeXonPC_Apps.zip and placed the file in system/priv-app, but Dex on PC has crashed.
Dex on PC of Windows didnt recognize Note9.

Seems like there will be more than just putting Dex on PC apk.. I remember one in the reddit said that Dex on PC also works wirelessly, so that means our DeX system must be upgraded wholly as well.

I have faith you guys will figure this out. It is one feature I really want from the 10. I'm on a stock verizon note 9. Work your magic folks.

Just a stupid question but are you guys using a USB-C to USB-C type cable? I think this will be required for the speed throughput. Just my thoughts.......

    I was digging bit for this features and found many framework smalis related to dexonpc on N10 but there was nothing similar in N9
    Usually samsung block feature on old device by just making changes in couple of smali but it seems there is nothing there on N9 for this feature (likely because when Pie launched on N9 there was nothing there related to this feature). Seems bit difficult to port standalone feature, rather porting full firmware may be easier (Not tried though). But I believe it should be easier on android 10 even if samsung block on N9 as they usually make common update of new OS and later minimally modify according device.

    No news I'm afraid, it looks like we'll have to wait for the release of android 10 with OneUI 2.0 (beta)

    At least it looks like we don't have to wait for Android Q, the S10 line received an update running OneUI 1.1 along with Sept security patch which enabled DeX on PC functionality and some camera options from the N10.

    I'm confused, I have a Verizon note 9 and Samsung dex fires right up with an hdmi adapter to my TV..

    I didn't have to add or install anything ?*♂️
    please re read the thread title and maybe even the whole contents of the thread awell... you'll get the picture.

    According to the Samsung website you need Pie, rooted in my case to copy the files to system/priv-app. But without the app needed for PC there's no way of knowing it will work.
    how did you get the dexonpc apk to stick? copied folder and set permissions and uppon reboot it's gone. tried without perms same thing(obviously). also tried to copy to system/app as well and no go.
