Widgets are a core part of the new “Flex Window” cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, but it’s limited out of the box. Thanks to a new update to the third-party project CoverScreen OS, though, you can use any widget out there, and even ahead of the formal release.

When you look at Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 in the context of the past couple of foldable releases, they’re really boring, but that isn’t a bad thing, at least for now.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5 has a cover display that’s four times larger than previous models, but out of the box, it’s still not that useful. Luckily, a Good Lock module that Samsung offers for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 allows you to run any full Android app on the outer display. Here’s how it works.
