Ubuntu touch can't cross screen, so the desktop environment can't be switched

@spike
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!

[Spike]

@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.

[Spike]

@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:
