Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
-
Hello!
First of all, a big thank you for the great work: Signal works well on my Volla tablet (UT).
However, I have a problem—on my Volla phone X23, the QR code is displayed so large after startup that I cannot scan it, or rather, it is not recognized.
What can I do? I have already tried to make it smaller with the UT tweak tool, but without success. -
I see, I did not think of that.
I should find a way to adapt to different phone displays. in the mean time a hack would be to do from terminal:
sudo nano /opt/click.ubuntu.com/signalut.pparent/current/launcher.shand replace the follwing line by a smaller value:
dpioptions="--high-dpi-support=1 --force-device-scale-factor=2.75"You can replace "2.75" by "2" or "1.5" , try what's best for you.

Joining in to report my findings. The app is working quite well on my OP5T. I can't use the very top menu entries (Files, Edit, View, ...). But most other things seem to work fine so far. I don't need to lock/unlock to send, just as described above the action with the small arrow is needed.
I could receive a call, but only one way voice and no video. Calling out didn't work, after a while the other end got a timeout message, but it didn't ring there. Only on my phone it was ringing. Not sure if that is already supposed to work better. Just pointing that out.
The search doesn't seem to work in chats, it works in chat list. Reactions work, reply works. So all in all not bad at all. Thanks a lot for your work.

Ah, for search we need to go back to the chat list page.
So press search in a chat, the go back to chat list page. Then the chat is selected as search filter. When entering a string now, the search is performed within that chat.

@rund_europa
Would you be willing to test a dev version, suposed to auto-detect the screen resolution, to see if the scaling works better on your phone? -
Thank you for your feedback!
Yes all features are not working currently or in a hacky way. So as long as I've not worked on them (like calls or search messages) I suppose they are not working. Now I'm focusing on core features about chat and keyboard.
-
@pparent I am fine with that. I am actually quite impressed with everything that does work. The app is good and usable.
-
Hacking my way through it... ;-).
If you wish to use dark mode, close the app and edit this file:
~/.config/signalut.pparent/Signal/ephemeral.json
You can do that with seabass2 for instance.
Or use terminal withnano ~/.config/signalut.pparent/Signal/ephemeral.json. (no sudo needed)Replace
"theme-setting": "system",with"theme-setting": "dark",, save changes and start the app. -
@pparent I would be happy to test a dev version.
With the above change to the factor, how do I save the change? -
Do you have a github acount? Can you open an issue here so that we may talk about it?
-
@pparent I just created one and opened an issue. Thank you for your great work/Support
