Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
-
Ok I should make it clearer then.
On my side it unlocks the enter and back button, on vollaphone 22, but I don't know if it works on every model.
In the mean time what you can always do expend the message area and the send button appears.
-
@pparent Sorry, I don't know how to do that. Nothing I have tried so far made a send button appear, and nothing made the backspace button work. (I assume that's what you mean when you say 'back button'.)
-
Slide up from the bottom, a small arrow appears click on it.
-
@pparent Ah, that works! I was able to send my first message with your app.
-
Great!
Though if you can't access the "Backspace" button from the keyboard this will be a problem because everything that you type must me sent as "Backspace" is the only way to erase.
Maybe try to play around focusing on any of the two windows associated to the app or another window, locking and unlocking the phone, restarting the app, to see if anything unlocks the "enter" and "Backspace" button from the keyboard.
This bug will most probably be solved with Mir2.0

Yes, that's what I found out. Luckily I could edit the unwanted message in Signal Desktop on my laptop.
I'll see if I can find a way; if so, I will post it... and if not, I can just wait. Not a problem. I'm just happy that you're doing this.

I fiddled and it started working! That's the good news. The bad news is that I don't know which part of my fiddling made it work. But back to the good news: it works!

Hi!
Thanks for the this work, it's really cool to be able to receive and view Signal messages without needing to open the whole Waydroid stuff
I'll take a look to the way you did it, as I've seen there's an unofficial Dino application snap package available (this is an XMPP client). I'll check if I can port this application using same techniques.

Thank's by the way, can you tell us if the "Lock"/"Unlock" trick works for you to make "Enter" and "Backspace" of the virtual keyboard work?

Yes if I lock the phone while Signal UT is foreground, these two keys work well after unlock.
Then I can switch to other application and go back to Signal UT and it still works without need to do the trick again.
