        @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...

          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.

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

                      Have you rebooted your phone while pressing power button + volume down before pluging it in USB?

                            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.

                                @gpatel-fr Thank you!

                                I think it's better to wait. I need this phone working until my Pixel is back from repair... After that I will see how to attack this isue.
