Ubuntu touch can't cross screen, so the desktop environment can't be switched
-
Hello, everyone! I like Ubuntu very much, so I flash Ubuntu touch on my phone, and it's just as likable. But when I try to use the desktop application, I find that it can't cross screen, which means that it may only use the current desktop environment. I hope it fits my mobile phone helix as much as possible, and I also hope to improve the functions of any mobile phone.
My devices: Redmi note3 kenzo
If you can tell me how to switch to the desktop environment of desktop device, I thank you very much!

I don't understand exactly what's your problem, but i can tell you the the app Ubuntu Touch Tweak Tools (a.k.a. UTTT) from open store allows you to activate a "desktop mode" on your device. -
@keneda Please forgive my stupidity, I'm Chinese. My English is not good, and I seldom open this application. I sometimes install games inside.

@keneda Thank you very much! Can you teach me more? My teach.

Hi @spike
Can you send a screenshot of your issue because there are many interpretations regarding your problem.Here is what I can try to guess:
1- You want to use an external screen with your phone
2- You want to move app windows outside the screen boundaries
3- You don't understand why legacy apps (standard Linux softwares) don't fit your screen size -

@applee Thank you very much for help me!

@applee Can you help me put the desktop screen of the device horizontally? I cannot find this option on the UTTT.
-
@spike There should be a setting in the navigation bar labelled "Rotation". Set it to the OFF position to enable the display to rotate.
-
@cliffcoggin No, there's only one screen lock option.

Hi @spike
Sorry for the late response.I think I understand your problem.
Sadly your device does not have the accelerometer working so the rotation won't work.I think the question about how to change rotation status with a command line has been ask on this forum.
I'll try to look it out but the answer is probably on this forum somewhere

@applee Okay, thank you.:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
