Use any app on your Galaxy Z Flip 3 Cover Screen - SamSprung Launcher

[@AndroidAddicts]

@Chris Choi has pointed out you can actually do this without disabling the screen lock by following their instructions here: "You don't need to disable lock. U can get Bixby to open by holding power button and then use voice commands or use fingerprint to unlock it on the cover screen"

[@izrankamal9860]

Cannot

[@izrankamal9860]

The Bixby works but the fingerprint unlock cannot

The only channel so far that showed this capability of the small screen...Great job...👍🏽

[@AbandonedCart]

No reboot is necessary when initially loading the widget. The blank screen is actually just the initial load of your content, but a default "loading view" wasn't included with the initial design and other features took priority over going back to implement one. Since realizing there was some confusion about that, a placeholder view is being added.

[@AndroidAddicts]

Great! Thanks for the tip! 👍👍😎

Do you have to Uninstalle samsung health?

[@outlawmusic23]

Thank you so much, I got bored of my s21 and thus phone is exactly what I've been looking for!!

[@マリーハナ]

Thanks for the video! I actually just installed a different app with the same function but it's a paid one. Though there are more functionalities but it's still a bit buggy and you can't customize the apps that you only need. Which is why I like this one better. BTW, I was also able to make it work too without disabling the lock screen/password protection. Just need to set the side key's long press option to wake bixby. So everytime you click an app just long press the side key and the app will launch.

[@AndroidAddicts]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Dee7590]

What app are you using

[@asuljic6]

top stuff, been waiting for this since the launch

[@Funmap66]

Nice video but no lock option is not cool I think. It would have made the device so much more interesting if Samsung had enabled more widgets by deafult.

[@AndroidAddicts]

Agreed. I hope that with software updates they'll allow you to do more 'out the box'. If not on the Flip 3 then perhaps the Flip 4...

[@ChrisChoi123]

You don't need to disable lock. you can just use Bixby to unlock by holding power button then using fingerprint sensor

1. You don't need to disable lock. U can get Bixby to open by holding power button and then use voice commands or use fingerprint to unlock it on the cover screen 2. You either have to not put any apps that can't rotate to landscape on the widget or u have to download multistar from good lock go force all portrait apps to autorotate. Otherwise, it'll crash the widget and u can't get it back until u restart the phone

I thought it was a good idea loved the fact of using the front screen for things but the big downfall was not being able to answer messages 😕.

[@AndroidAddicts]

You can use quick replies for things like SMS still but there's nothing with this Launcher as of yet...maybe in a future update..

[@mariiiii21]

I did exactly as on the video but impossible to activate it as a widget. it does not appear

[@hyuna008]

Same here :(

[@ayubsultan2310]

Same 😢

[@ballamoto]

There's a pretty solid workaround by enabling the side key (power key) as bixby. Then you can press and hold the power button with the phone closed and it'll unlock, allowing you to use this app. I use this method and it works 👍

[@AndroidAddicts]

Ohh nice, I'll give that a go - good find!

[@ballamoto]

@@AndroidAddicts unfortunately I can't take the credit, but still spreading the word! 😂

[@sebastianaldana9172]

tried this and did not work for me :(

[@ballamoto]

@@sebastianaldana9172 it 100% should. In what way is it not working? Another quirk is that the apps won't open until you've "swiped" up or down on the widget. This seems to "activate" the widget, and then you click a button. So overall process from locked is: hold down power key and allow to read fingerprint. Then swipe to the widget. Then swipe up to enable the widget. Then click the app you want. Should work!

[@GlovedGame]

@@ballamoto could you make a video/tutorial?

[@Dajlec]

HEY!!! No need to turn off security! Just set long press for the side button to Bixby and then anytime you want to open an app from the front screen just long press it and then the app you want!

[@leonardopapantoniou4227]

The problem are fintech and bank apps. They require safety measures such as pin or fingertip lock activated.
