Themes / Apps / Mods SamSprung TooUI - Cover Screen Home (FREE)

Noticed that newer versions are way smoother, pretty nice!

Scaling enhancement is done. Toggle in the app settings.

The app icons will remain the same, but the menus and text will zoom

Not sure about this though, icons got really weird on most recent update (7d6fdd1), if I set "scale cover" to on and "nav only" to false, then it works fine, other setups are giving me this kind of screen:

(yes this is a cover screenshot, its reaally weird)

Yes, but it is also an incomplete feature and the update is only an hour old.

The next update to fix that is building now. Unfortunately, my time gets spread between this, TagMo, and the issue reporting backend that is in both of them. The core of that thing was great, but it was very basic and that has revealed a lot of issues with "modern users"

Edit: well, actually the NEXT one after the one that posted about the same time I posted this.

I got the latest update and running on OneUi 4.0, using the 'Bixby' work around to keep my lock on otherwise. I also disabled Samsung Pay swipe so it doesn't interfere. After I turn on the cover screen I am supposed to swipe up from the bottom to get to the SamSprung launcher, right? I do see 'Samsprung' listed there so its definitely running, but I can't do anything with it. IE I have the '3 lines, Home, Back' button but I can't seem to actually get Samsprung Home to open.

Do I just need swiping school 101 or what am I missing? Thanks.

Not in the least

I might have rushed the testing a bit? lol sorry

I have this weird problem where most of the time the apps open in "multiwindow mode", like a small window inside the cover

I'm having problems with "portrait apps",

Just wanted to say I fixed all my issues, they were related with "windowed mode", I just had to disable some developer options related to multiwindow

Now this is working soooo perfectly for my use cases, thanks A LOT for your work

Ended up down a bit of a rabbit hole. I was just trying to fix the scaling and ended up reworking all the transitions to make sure looping in circles would still come out where it was expected.

There are two ways to go about fixing the multiwindow issue. The first is to allow multiple tasks, which is what CommonsWare suggests on StackOverflow. For anyone that knows anything about his answers, they are the literal recitation of what the documentation says and do not account for any unintended outcomes. This was the same thing we did in the widget because the widget ended up killing the tasks. The end result without widget suicide is about 10 copies of Gmail in your recents.

The other way is to try to reset all the parameters already set with the app when it's launched. This is the one we are trying now.

Updating the second they come out is perfectly fine. It beats the people who FREAK OUT and come to find they are 10 versions behind. I was just saying that sometimes things manage to pass through testing because I ran them once and not 20 times before pushing them out, but the other 19 are that first hour. The weird scaling happened when that view was launched from one specific call that wasn't the one I tested.

Thanks for the wiki which was an ELI5 but I needed it. It works for me now!

Glad to hear it works. The flood of reports it broke when the new layout released made the wiki somewhat necessary. It hasn't done much to slow them down, but it beats pasting all that multiple times a day.

Scaling just the nav bar may not work out as planned. Looks like the notification bar gets dragged into it no matter what and the alternative is that bloated explosion.

Ok i have found a way to have a lookscreen with a password and able to use the apps on the cover screen without unlocking download Black hole from the playstore and then make sure it isn't checked in samsprung because if it is you can disable the lockscreen.

Raising the bar a little further...

 

[twistedumbrella]

Dumped scaling just the menu and instead worked out a cleaner notification panel. Home works without Accessibility, but back performs system-level stuff that cannot be accomplished with magic and tasking.

Now that we know we are driving development for the entire device, I guess the only thing to do is keep coming up with more ridiculous features. Here I thought I was going to coast for a little.

Seems like most of the functionality stuff is in place to start making things "pretty" and whatnot.

Adding themes would be fun, but Material You (and the previous iterations of color schemes) are only really good for theming the title bar, since most content is provided by your installed apps.

Nobody cares about that. We care about theming the NAVIGATION BAR. Yes, that is the newest update. Fully configurable navigation bar. No themes, just plain old color bars. Let's call it "Material Too"

 

[blade1500]

Looks like any custom lookscreen works also I like the new update

Hey Twisted, silly question. I frequently lock my phone in portrait, but keep finding it unlocked. Then I tried locking it to portrait, opening samsprung on the cover, didn't open an app, just envoked it, and then flipped open and the orientation was unlocked again.
Is this something that can be remedied or part of the way it works for the landscape mode on the coverscreen?
Btw: Absolutely loving the progression on this. Amazing work and amazing addition to this device. The way it was meant to be in the first place.
