Having the taskbar plus the edges makes a difference. I didn't go too crazy and usually use the second screen with more stuff on it including stackable.
Omg what icon pack is this! What weather widget is this and what is the first wallpaper? I need it all
Happy to share ..
Crispy icons ..thanks to @Ludatyk
I think wallpapers are in this folder here let me know if you don't see it
Weather widget on front screen is stock from Samsung and inside screen it's At A Glance from Google

I'm glad the OnePlus Open works for you, sincerely and for others too.
I'm bothered across a few forums that the Open isn't featured as widely as a full walk through of its UI and unique offerings. Going back to the launch, we saw more time focused on the hardware and it's rigorous testing. All we really saw of software were static screens (most of what I've seen in forums, the Doc Picker, MultiTasking difference of 3 apps (2 side by side, 1 below/above just slightly in view), and that's about it.
The mistake in their direction, is right there in the name: OxygenOS. It's NOT an OS it's a UI through and through. And it looks TOO much like iOS,foe the life of me Don't see why/reason.
Every year from Samsung we much more improvements in it's software offerings, the synergies between it's UI and existing software stack and it's fluid ease of use continues to improve. Like @TheGame106 Said above (exactly how do we rag that guy with spaces in his name when MR doesn't respect spaces anyhow? Lol) the polush of OneUI is JUST SO GOOD.
Until you update last week's Gemini upgrade. That ROYALLY PI$$ED ME OFF!
Google is push FAR TOO hard where they SHOULD NOT be into the UI's of competitors and against users preferences! And I hope a) Samsung prevents this on OneUI 7 onward and b) the US, EU and many other country supreme courts put a stop to it!
I carefully and pain staking went theiugh EVERY bit of minuscia of Gemini and Google Assistants' settings believe granting Gemini as my assistant on my S23 seeing how Bixby has fallen as hard as Siri has and fails to recognize my hails. Less than 30 mins of testing Gemini for hails I was quite impressed. Then 1hour later while working with Samsung Tech Suport over Buds2 Pro warranty to process repairs, they sent a text and when I clicked the link to open up an wmail BOOM 💥 I notice the UI was very different in the half screen popup reply. It didn't respect ability to attach a doc just a link from OneDrive and off it went.
1. Gemini tried to set Google Messages as my SMS/mMS/RCS! It failed cause I have it disabled, despite Samsung Messages as my default it would've changed that
2. Gemini changed my default email handler to Gmail which is Samsung Mail. I HATE Gmail and only use it cause Samsung implements it for ads and deals - Y I do NOT know! I've previously used Gmail when it fiesta debut back in college foe 2yrs and then next 3 ONLy to increase storage from deals like Samsung offering DropBox/Box.net free storage increase when signed into a new Sammy. The hack was off to BestBuy ans sign into EVERY displayed Samsung eith your Gmail confirm the upgrade email then sign out ans delete from accounts (good times lol). I purged use of Gmail since 2010!
3. Browser default homepage went to Google.com.
4! The most SNEAKY BULL$#!^ I've ever saw and a PURE breach of privacy was turning Sync of my contacts ON to Google anssyncing them. I HAVE NEVER EVER set this fromday one and EXPLICITY DISABLED this! Yet Gemini enabled this AFTER I ensured it remained off during walk-thru setup! The ignorant part on Google is they do NOT follow PIM principles that have existed since PDA days for EVERY smartphone platform ever since: Epoch (Symbian's roots since PsionPDA & Ericsson R234 (?), PalmOS (ans HamdSpring as well), WindowsCE, J2ME/MIDP2 Feature Phones, BlackBerryOS, SymbianOS (Nokia's S60, UIQ, etc), JavaOS (heavily used by Motorola in Japan/China way back), DangerOS (Sidekick/HipTop), Microaoft PocketPC (Think Comoaq/HP iPaq & HTCs OEM European carrier models & US slef branded phones) & Smartphone Edition (Smaung BlackJack, HTC H620, Motorola Q/Q2), iOS, AndroidOS (including Google Service*), BlackBerry 10, WindowsMobile and the defunct LinuxOS attempts. Note: * is this. Google REMOVED Google Contacts as part of Android that uses Google services. This means I have to download an App I do NOT wish and set NEVER to Sync in the 1st place to REMOVE contacts from Google's nefarious data-mining practices! This should be considered illegal of Google to enforce Gemini to enable Sync against users' wishes - ESCPICIALLY since I've never installed Google Contacts!!
^ this infuriates me!
I've had the Apple Watch from Nike+ S3 to the AW S8. I got really bored of how stagnant it became - a bieatique collection item, not a real fitness item. Were STILL stuck with the same exercises ONLy curated by Apple - 1/4 more every 4 years roughly. That's a BAd thing to rely on 3rd party apps to get better exercises. Sure you can do that on Google's partner watched BUT Samsung HAS:
1.Multiple workouts (ita own as well as) many featured from BodyBuilding.com and many many other global workout top choices of professional real modern exercise, stretching yoga etc routines!
2. Featured in-house routines from stars (within S.Korea for home front fans of course; may not make a difference to us in N.America but they're doing it!)
3. They have a meal order service that's in Sync to your workout history and upcoming workouts selected and trending - such as fat lost body composition, mass gaining,cutting, etc)
This is HUGE and I hope they work woth partners here such as Factor, HeloFrsh Greens+ etc to implement here.
This is a lot you're missing - even just the refreshing wide variety of workouts offered for free! I have no idea why Samsung doesn't advertise this.
Calendar is from Elega KWGT and Time is from Blended KWGTI'm digging
Please share along with inside widgets
Thank you sir I think I have the pro KWGT from a long time ago and I just don't use it.
No problem at all… it’s the best widget maker there is. Countless ways to build widgets, I’m a huge fan of KWGT… I would like to create a randomize gallery photo widget out of it. But the formula is kind of broken.
And I know Samsung has one, but it’s limited in widget sizes.
I may be getting the one plus open again
Seen one on eBay for only £830.
Seen one on eBay for only £830.
Basically missed it to be honest. However didn’t want to spend a lot on one. I’ve ordered the 9 pro XL instead of pixel fold now
I think for what I’m looking for in a foldable the one plus open still ticks the most boxes
Something told me you were going for that 9 Pro XL, I didn't believe one bit you were going to pass up on it lol.
But yeah, OnePlus Open is a solid choice for the price of it.
What did it for me was the add me feature lol went best possible photo as I know I would use this a lot with my family
Only downside for one plus open is old chip but for £800 I don’t mind too much
Correct me if I'm wrong... but that "add me" feature is available on the 9 Pro Fold as well?
But I do understand what you are going for... OnePlus Open vs 9 Pro Fold, they both are similar in size... doubt there will be any crazy difference in speed performance. And you are getting the Open much cheaper... seems like the better choice.
However, you are adding two phones (9 Pro XL & OnePlus Open) to the lineup versus one lol.
Yeah it does but XL will have better cameras and XL will be better for photo comparisons which I do
Yeah I’m getting one plus open for for £900 less
Plus I’m getting XL and one plus open for slightly more than one pixel 9 pro fold
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 vs Z Fold 5: More similarities than differences
One year on, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is nearly identical to the Z Fold 5, but a few subtle changes make for an interesting change

I got my Open for around $900 on Swappa. Turning out to be the best phone purchase I've made. Love the device overall. The lack of crease makes the other foldables look like old prototypes. Not 100% of a fan of OxygenOS and the UI though. Just like the look and feel of Pixel and OneUI better. Also I keep changing my notification tones for different apps like Blue Bubbles and Gmail and it always goes back to the default tone. Really annoying me. Last, I know the P9PF is going to produce better pictures and also all the AI things that come along with the Pixel really are enticing enough to move to the P9PF even though I love the Open. OnePlus has not made an effort on AI at all.
As far as old chip, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is still a very solid performer and likely far exceeds the capabilities of the Tensor4 except AI processing, which in this case, doesn't matter as AI is nonexistent on the Open.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 vs. OnePlus Open: A surprisingly hard decision
Are the upgrades in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 enough to justify it over the OnePlus Open?
Yeah crease wise even though one plus open is a year old it still is better that brand new fold 6 and pixel 9 pro fold.
I do enjoy the software overall. Multitasking on it is great
I know one plus open 2 is coming on Q1 of 2025 so gives me enough time with this device and see if it’s worth upgrading next year
Yes sir! Best damn phone ever! I can't believe how much more I like this device every day. Other than lack of wireless charging it's pretty much perfect.Back in the foldable game
Welcome back, I knew you weren't going to be out the game for too long!
I played with a Z Fold 6 yesterday, first time with hands on time with a foldable, damn nice phone. Love the under screen selfie lens on the inside screen, it makes everything so clean looking. Now I'm looking at the 9 Pro Fold and the OP Open, 😂. The OnePlus is $1399 at Best Buy for me, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL is $1199, which has me very conflicted on the pre-order. I have the total tech plus membership through BB which is handy for these foldables.
The under display camera is a neat implementation but it's also only 4MP and easily the worst camera on the Fold 4, 5, and 6. I rarely ever use the under display camera on the inner screen.
