24.04
more specifically do you have '24.04-1.1' ?
also, you said that you had trouble to make uWolf to run while for me it was just an installation from the store and an (unwanted) restart, did you do special changes to your phone: turn the rootfs r/w for example, and if yes what did you do with it ?

@gpatel-fr yesterday update 310 and today 311, 312 and just now 313... So the verry laterst...

@pparent in min broser and morph the screen keybord shows up. In Chromium and Uwolf it is not showing...

So that's the bleeding edge of unstable. Well, I don't think that the clicks on the store are necessarily tested against unstable version, so that must explain why uWolf don't work correctly.
-
That's very strange because I think Min Browser, and Chromium for UT are basically based on the same code, so I'm surprised one would work and not the other.
As @gpatel-fr said, maybe try reinstalling the stable version 24.04.1
Cos for me keyboard works fine in uWolf on 24.04.1
-
@pparent yeah i know, im drowning in exams right now and I'm also foucsing on making xdg-desktop-portals supported in lomiri as you know and that's more important because it will make the only problem a UI problem which is better then manually patching apps to work with lomiri alternatives.
-
@pparent going back to the stable version means teinstalling UT from scratch?

Well you have to reinstall it from the installer, but you can keep all your userdata and installed apps. Just make sure to UNCHECK "wipe userdata", when you reinstall.
In practice this is quite fast to do, and you won't have much overhead as you will find everything as you left it and will not loose any of your user setup. Anyway it's really not recommended to use development version for a usage as a daily driver.

@gpatel-fr I did not have trouble running Uwolf exept for the fact that I only can use it with an external keybord.
I stil not quite understand the onscreen keybord problem. In most apps/ programs it workes fine. So how could this be an OS issue? For me it looks like a app problem. Is te onscreen keyboard not part of the OS and is called from within an app?
I write this message from my phone on the onscreen keyboard...

@Ernst-Jan15 said in Some questions:

I can't give you a definite answer, but the OSK question is complicated. It's currently quite a Ubuntu Touch only feature, that is, it's accessed through QT Apis using a plugin that is written specifically for Ubuntu Touch.
One problem is that currently (it's worked on) the QT version on which UT is based is obsolete, so the official browser, Morph, has an 'old' engine that don't work with quite a few 'modern' web sites.
So a few open source enthusiasts have written hacks to make browsers that don't support the UT apis natively use the UT OSK. These are not upstream patches that have been accepted to the standard browsers, that's packaging. LibreWolf for UT is not LibreWolf recompiled, it's LibreWolf with clever packaging.
As such these solutions are inherently fragile. Also it's not worth much investing in making these hacks more robust, since goal is to avoid them altogether by making UT more receptive to alien architecture.

Except that OSK for uWolf works on 24.04.1 for me and for @gpatel-fr , and probably many others, so if it does not work for you, and you're not running the stable version, then that's the first thing I would try.

@pparent Well,
Housten I have a problem...Device not suported
Yor device: halium_arm64You want to try anyway?
Not realy, I now have a more or less working phone. It tells me to go back to stock os for Faiphone.

What do you mean? I thought the on-screen-keyboard did not work for you in uWolf?

Yor device: halium_arm64Have you rebooted your phone while pressing power button + volume down before pluging it in USB?
-
@pparent No it does not work in Uwolf but it works on this forum and in most other apps in UT

@pparent Ah, no I did not... Thanks I will try this. I asume stil using the installer on my mint pc?
EJ
-
Yes but the screenshot I sent you is uWolf with the On-Screen-Keyboard working
Ah, no I did not... Thanks I will try this. I asume stil using the installer on my mint pc?
Yes but connect it in usb to the computer only after rebooting it that way.

I see the same for my Fairphone 5 (not that I want to reinstall, I just tested for you).
I think that the model detection works better when UT is not yet installed. In your place I'd just be careful in selecting the correct phone model.
