DeX Functionality on Foldable Screens
Samsung DeX, a feature allowing Galaxy devices to operate as a desktop, can now be used directly on the Galaxy Z Fold 8's 7.6-inch inner screen. Previously, DeX primarily required an external display due to smaller phone screens.
Introducing the Gadesk App
The Gadesk app, available on the Play Store, facilitates this functionality. It does not require rooting or sideloading, making it accessible for users to set up DeX on their Z Fold 8 without an external monitor.
Setup Process
To enable DeX via Gadesk, users must first disable 'Auto Blocker' in their device settings. Subsequently, 'Wireless debugging' needs to be enabled within the Developer options, which requires tapping the build number seven times to activate.
After these preliminary steps, the Gadesk app guides the user through connecting a driver and pairing the device using a code displayed during the wireless debugging setup.
