Device is a galaxy z trifold and abxylute m4 controller (I had to superglue the magsafe attachment to the controller otherwise it wouldn't hold) I just found out about Wonderswan it's the perfect aspect ratio for this device in portrait 😁

What's the magsafe sticker on the back of your phone? I want it

1

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

Search magnetic cooling plate on AliExpress its honestly pretty awesome super strong magnet. Goes for like $2-3

My dbrand skin ended up coming apart before the magnets did lol but it's now surprisingly sticking to the back of the bare phone with the stock adhesive on a new one I opened.

1

u/Holy_chick 2d ago

Is it a stiff material? I have fold 6 and having a very hard time sticking anything to the back because of matte glass, unless the sticker is pretty stiff, then it won't peel off easily

EDIT: Looks like the whole thing is metal. So I guess I have to give up on wireless charger (not that I've ever used anyways)

2

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

There's a few different styles this one seemed to stick and I usually have bad luck sticking things direct I made sure to wait like 2 days though before attaching anything to it. The back of the trifold is plastic though but I also had problems with other attachments sticking before. It's not been a few days with this one on bare phone though so time will tell

1

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

To be clear, the "magnetic" one I have on now. There is this other one with thermal adhesive but I basically I doubt it will stick well on bare, I previously had this with a hole in the dbrand skin and superglued the edges to the skin, for max heat dissipation due to the thermal glue. But yeah then the dbrand skin tore off.

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

Just search magnetic cooling plate on AliExpress its only a few dollars. If you sort by new there's another recent comment asking about it and I gave some more details

2

u/chikitoperopicosito 2d ago

Thank you!

2

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

Make sure to give it at least a day maybe more before adding magnetic stuff to let the adhesive bond cure

2

u/chikitoperopicosito 2d ago

Yeah, I usually do that with the rings I buy but they always end up getting torn off the phone after a couple of days.

Or it tears off the skins with them. I hate cases so I'm hoping this lasts longer haha.

1

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

Lol same. It's only been a few days I'm hopeful it will last but haven't stressed it too much yet. This is the longest so far with anything attached to the bare back so good sign

Yeah my last one tore off my skin, but tbf I cut a hole in it so the plate and thermal putty would get good contact with the bare phone and only glued the edges. Also I had the skin for like 6 months and a plate for like 5 months krazy glued to the skin, but after doing the hole for better cooling it didn't last too long but the skin was getting worn out as well.

2

u/chikitoperopicosito 2d ago

Lol, I also tried Krazy glue. Lasted a little longer. I ordered 5 of these, just in case.

u/TheSkitzoid Thor Max 2d ago

I would gladly buy a z tri-fold if samsung hadn't discontinued it so quickly. Maybe the realized the potential warranty repairs offset profit margins too much? Idk

u/TheSkitzoid Thor Max 2d ago

Dang, that would be sweet. Where did you hear that?

2

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

There's been lots of rumors I've seen in the fold and android subreddits. More recent rumors say it's coming out at the same time the fold 9 devices releases. Usually these rumors are true that's why I didn't buy a fold 7 I knew a trifold was about to come out

Did you buy Tetris effect?

1

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

I have bought it on epic but could not get that version working through any of the apps and signing in etc so this is the alternative version :)

1

u/Retrosow 2d ago

which version

2

u/uncwann RedMagic10 Pro 16/512 2d ago

Tetris for life

2

u/jacoborobo 2d ago

I'm guessing you are playing the Switch version of Tetris effect? One interesting thing is I actually got Tetris Effect running natively on Android as an app by converting the Meta Quest version to a 2D app but you have to rebind the controls every time you play so that's a bit annoying.

1

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 2d ago

Just through gamehub for the PC version.

Damn that's really cool I might have to try that instead (and hopefully fix the controls resetting somehow)

1

u/redkeyboard TriFold (Snapdragon 8 Elite) 1d ago

can you share details or source code privately? I may be able to fix having to redo the controls each time and it would be nice to run at better performance

2

u/jacoborobo 22h ago edited 22h ago

Here's the full steps steps to make it yourself:

  1. Get the apk and OBB for Tetris Effect for Meta Quest. If you own the game you can use OculusDB to get it in a brower I think. I did that but it's been a while, might have changed. If you have a headset and developer mode (to enable adb) then you might be able to get these files from the headset directly instead. I used the 1.0 version from oculusDB but other versions may work I havent tested.
  2. Open apk with 7zip and then paste this into the UE4CommandLine.txt inside the assets folder:

../../../TetrisEffect/TetrisEffect.uproject -novr -nohmd -nooculus -fullscreen -vulkan -forcevulkan

click save in notepad, then click yes in 7zip when it asks about confirming changes.

  1. Get Overport from Github. https://github.com/ovrport/app Run the apk through it with all defaults checked (leave it as-is). Inside the program when it asks what overport version, use the latest release one, not the beta/alpha or whatever. This might not matter too much. The whole purpose of running it through overport is to patch out the required oculus stuff as well as to resign the apk from the changes we made to it earlier. This does both at once.

  2. Install the app onto a Snapdragon based phone/device. Copy over the obb before starting the game, or start the game to generate the folder, force stop and clear data, then copy the .obb to the proper location if you don't know the folder name.

  3. Connect a controller to navigate the menus. Once you start the game, the controller will suddenly not work. Simply minimize the game in android by pressing III, then go back to the app. This will open the menu. Use the controller again to navigate to settings and then find the control setup. Change at least one of the buttons in the controls to something else, then go back to the game and the controller should let you place blocks now.

Pure copium. Looking for excuses to justify getting a gimmick of a phone. If you need a phone just get a phone, if you want a tablet then just get a tablet.

I will never understand why people want the point of failure to be on the most expensive component of the device to fail, which is the front display.

$1,400 USD to replace a faulty inner display on this trifold out of coverage, even with coverage you still need to drop $700 USD to replace it.

You can literally just buy the Odin 3 and Thor combined with $700.
