Some questions

Ernst-Jan15

Hello all,

I started using my Faiphone 4 as a daily driver instead of using it as a hobby platform. This made me use it differently and made me aware of some troublesome thing within this OS.

Let me firs say that I rely appreciate what you all have accomplished! It is a usable platform.

This said there are some issues I encounter...

Using Uwolf was hard work but, finally I managed to get it it to login to Firefox so my password problem is resolved. However I can only use it with an external keyboard, Yes I activated the keyboard in the phone itself but sadly it does not show in Uwolf. And that is really a problem, working on-the-go using an external keyboard is not doable. Is there a way to activate the screen keyboard in Uwolf?

Than WhatsApp. This is not working without my Android phone as you need it to activate WhatsApp web. I do not have a working Android phone at hand... Is there a wai around this?

@Ernst-Jan15 For Android stuff, you can use Waydroid.

If you don't have another Adroid device, you can have your main account in waydroid, and then in whatsweb instead of using the Qr-Code select "login with a phone number", it should allow you to link easily whatsweb to your main account in waydroid.

For the browsers have you tried other alternatives than uWolf, like Morph Qt6 version, Min browser, Chromium for UT, to see if they suit you more.

Ps: normally On-screen-keyboard should work in uWolf though, is your system up-to-date? What version are you currenlty using?

I just downloaded the thing, launching it from the store promptly rebooted the phone but after that it launched and I could use the OS keyboard, so my guess is that the OP is using Focal.

@ernst-jan15

I see no reason to use Focal on the FP4. Noble (24.04.1.x) is said to work on this phone.

Yes currently it cannot be launched from the openstore I think. I have informed @chromiumos-guy about a solution for that problems that worked for Signal-UT and Min browser.
