I've received it on my X fold plus and I do think the global task bar is a great feature as ive got do used to it on Samsung Tab a8 ultra. What other features have you found that are useful. I couldn't find the new textured icons
Haven't noticed other major changes except the inside screen now has a set ppi and same is applicable to the widgets

The pinned apps are your apps you have at the bottom of the screen on taskbar on single screen mode. Just change them around but what you see on front screen will be shown on inside screen plus 3 more recent apps.

I uninstalled it all of it via adb, I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/vivo-x-fold-debloat-notification-fix-origin-os-1-3.4566819/ after that all of my notifs work. Only messages and phone calls can display on AOD but I'm not bothered about that anyway I don't like seeing notifs on AOD. When notifs do come they show on lockscreen, WhatsApp, Snapchat Facebook, Instagram, email, messages phone calls, maps, Google now news chrome and whatever else.

Oooh. Okay, I understand. I am using a launcher so I don't see these single screen task bar anymore! That's why I didn't get it. Fine, I thank you for your answer :)

Received another update, fixed the Bluetooth issue when using multiple devices.

Since this update system interface, the vivo UI, won't launch. I think I have the default Android interface now. At each reboot screen flashes and crash then default Android interface is used by default. Translation of the error message is : system interface display error : impossible to load the user interface system kits. You can visit a Vivo customer service center to solve the problem.

    Well, it seems that I have skipped the last update and got a more recent one. Now all apps can be added to the sidebar and can be put into floating windows, which is just great.
    i went to their forum, nagged about their OS and lacked of multiwindows features and finally they listened.

    Finally successfully root my X Fold.
    System Version is 15.7, here's my original boot.img without patch, hope this is useful to you guys.

    And this is the 15.7 OTA package link which I intercept by wireshark.

    And is there anyone know how to connect Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 to Vivo X fold?
    Tried for a few hours, but didn't get any solution.

    Every time a new foldable phone gets released I feel the glory of our beloved phone.
    Not a single foldable phone can beat the specs of the Fold/Fold +
    Maybe they can be slimmer and lighter but cannot compete with the screens' size, the fingerprint scanner, the cameras with 5X periscope lens, the fast charging speeds wired and wireless, IR blaster and the sound switch.
    Maybe it can be forgotten from all reviewers nowadays but never from our side.
    I'm really proud of my X Fold + !!!!!!!

    What needs to happen in order to get an official forum? Is it time? Post interest? World domination?

    Just got my X Fold yesterday in Canada and loving it so far. I have 5G on the videotron network and forced the 5G radio by using the app "ForceLTE" in the Play Store. I previously used this app to enable 5G for my Oppo Find N and it has worked on both phones with China ROM. I change the settings to "NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA" under set preferred network type. After a few moments I have full 5G signal.

    I also have managed to get all notifications working using the methods described by Greggles on YouTube. I noticed that even though notifications were being delivered, that they would not appear on the lockscreen. I isolated the culprit to be "Smart Notifications" under "Notifications and Status Bar". By turning that thing off, all my notifications started to appear on the lockscreen. I also ensured that "Google Basic Service Management" was turned on under "Accounts and Sync" which seemed to also help with notification issues.

    Lastly, I followed the steps to set up a Vivo account to set a default launcher from a 3rd party app also outlined by Greggles. I have been using Niagara for quite some time and it scaled beautifully for outer screen and inner screen (see photo).

    I can say that I have tried most foldables (Z Fold 1/2/3, Surface Duo 1/2, Oppo Find N), and the X Fold has so far delivered the best experience so far. It was well worth it. Happy to see many others enjoying too!
