Yes all! Wireless DeX too!
I have only tested on Samsung. Please help testing on other devices

I built a feature on my app that kinda does this :D Really close for a new release, right now it works well but it has a small delay, and I'm working on creating a custom receiver for the chromecast so we'll be no more than 1-2 frames behind

Lmk if you're interested in a feature like this :D

Yesterday i posted about my upcomming Open Android DeX, today i finished Mac version and Linux destro too. Probably ready for next week release!

Hey guys, I’ve made an abomination! I had laying around old MacMini and broken S23. So I’ve made this. I kept the original cooler and connected the power button to the motherboard. I put inside an USB-PD 35W charger that is connected to the HUB.
I didn’t want to solder cables to the HUB so I put there a 12V power supply for the original fan and buck converter to 5v for the ESP32.
The ESP32 is controlling the fan via a temperature sensor I took from Ender 3 that I had laying around.
I’m still working on an app that would connect to the ESP32 (its working now but its not ideal yet)
Sadly the S23 do not start without a battery (I originally intended to remove the battery)
wifi is terrible but works. I wanted to find out what pins are for the antenna and solder U.FL IPX cable but I give up for now( the usb to ethernet adapter works well and bluetooth for controller is fine so far)

The HUB have M.2 slot that I intend to use on game ROMs for the emulation(I will finally play Shadow of Colossus!)
The M.2 fit so well that i put a thermal pad on the heatsink so the SSD will get some cooling too. 

Edit: i will do later a follow up with some improvements and more detailed breakdown!

Dextop is an open-source project focused on Android Desktop Mode, including Samsung DeX.

One of its main features is Laptop Mode, which provides a PC-like experience on foldable phones.

It also supports workspaces, automatic display switching on foldables, external displays, and customizable pointer and monitor layouts.

If you're interested in Android Desktop Mode or DeX, I'd love to have you check it out and contribute!

Here is how to create the depth clock. Its a kwgt widget that i made myself.

First, set the original wallpaper as Samsung dex wallpaper. Then create and add your clock kwgt widget and position it where you want it. Next, create a transparent cutout of your wallpaper's subject (like the car or a person) using a free background remover tool or by saving its outline as an SVG. Then use any text editor tools and copy the codes that's showing inside it. It's a long code so might take some time for the copy option to appear.

Inside KWGT, select shape and path. Then paste the code you copied. Now the shape of your subject is ready. Placed the shape directly above the real subject shown on the.wallpaper so it perfectly cover the subject in your wallpaper. Finally, go to the cutout shape layer's settings and change its Filter / Blend Mode to Clear.(the subject shape layer should be placed above the clock for this filter to work ) This acts like a digital eraser, cutting out the clock numbers right where the subject is so the wallpaper shows through from behind!

The clock font i used is Bison Bold font

It runs DeX standalone, with its main feature being a Laptop Mode that provides a foldable-phone experience similar to that of a mobile PC.

It also supports workspaces, automatic switching between the cover and main displays when folding and unfolding, and external displays. You can even customize the mouse pointer topology and change the monitor layout.

The project is open source.

Hello, I am presenting you yet another Dex on the phone's screen app. I know there are like more than 10 already out there and if you're one of those trying to tell me that, I really do know.

Why? Because I wanted something simple, without a thousand settings and quick access so I created this app. It's free, open source, you can update/modify/build it yourself.

I've build other open source apps with great communities so I think this is a good start for another one :D

So what's different still from the other dozen apps?
Simple - we have 2 sliders in the overaly settings that control resolution and DPI that will update instantly
- I've created a daemon that runs in the background so once an ADB session is aquired we can connect as many times as we want to the Dex mode without needing wireless ADB on and so on ( once / boot is enough )
- You set it once, the rest goes automatically
- I've created a quick access button so we can toggle it on faster
- I've even created a widget again for quick launch

Yet, it's not perfect. It needs testing, a loving community and some more people recommending it.

Who am I and what recommends me? https://alexandru.rocks a software engineer that created the "HIT" app for bikes called OpenCFMoto that has over 35k downloads and a community of over 1300 contributors on Discord.

So if you want to find more about this app please check the github repo at:

Thank you! :D

I recently build this as my company was blocking everything on my laptop. So i build a DeX for Windows alternative. Some people have already tried it but they are closed source / not featured complete

All of a sudden, my discord scaling went out of whack on my S24 (Latest OS) and now all I see is a window with a tiny box. I've tried reinstalling, restarting, etc... I use my Android as a desktop 100% of the time at work and cannot use Discord this way. It works fine in mobile format. Anyone see this before?

See image.

coming soon from the creator of GaDesk, the standalone Dex on device
