@magnoliacircus What did you do with your keyboard to access the pro menu for Niagara? I am unable to access it
when I click on it nothing happens

It was so frustrating that I would click and nothing happens. Same thing for the settings button. I believe after I connected a usb keyboard I hit tab and held or tapped the down arrow key until I believed it reached the bottom. Then I hit the up arrow key a few times until I thought it was on the Niagara pro button. Then I hit enter. You can’t see what is highlighted though. I was just kind of winging it, so if somebody has more concrete steps please share them.
The good news is, once it was set up, I didn’t need the physical keyboard anymore. I can click on the settings button just fine now.

Just confirmed: if you hold an down arrow key until its on the bottom of the searchable app page (sometimes clicking the up arrow key a few times afterwards also helps), and then press Enter.
Make sure you’re on the app’s Searchable screen before trying this. This process sucks but after the first time, once it works, you can tap the button normally from then on.
I used scrcpy to do this.
Thanks @magnoliacircus for the help.

I would like to personally thank @madebypixel02 for this post as it has made my experience with the MK much better than it probably would have been.
Your app recommendations and tips took my experience from: “the MK is tolerable enough, but alas, I must keep my iPhone” to I can now escape the iPhone plantation with only a few nitpicks. My iPhone is slowing collecting dust (figuratively speaking).
Granted, I am not a Dev, but am probably more comfortable in CLI than many, so that also helped in some regard, but I would have been majorly frustrated were it not for this post.
Sure, the phone is actually a solid piece of hardware and software right out of the box.
But for some users, the inescapable reality is that a strong calendar needed, as well as notifications of voicemails, and calendar reminders. All of which are (to date) missing.
That said, your recommendations have helped minimize the disruptions caused by the above missing items and for that I can’t thank you enough.
I’m keeping the MK and walking away from the Apple ecosystem for good.

Thank you all for the kind words, I am happy to hear my posr has helped many of you. I too have found in the Mudita Kompakt a suitable replacement for my old phone.
As part of my journey away from digital distractions, I have started to check my Kompakt and laptop less, and that includes this forum, of course. I will still check it from time to time and share other updates in how I use this device to better suit my needs, but I believe it should be less often.
Pd: this reply has been written (slowly) from my Kompakt, from a browser using Futo Keyboard!

Hello, unfortunately the code does not work for me.
It is displayed that it is switched off, but i can’t get back to the original mudita launcher.

How’s this coming? I’m currently using oLauncher (Niagra feels so bloated), but still longing for some reliable notification system built in (checking Notification Log gets old).
Thank you <3

I too eventually found myself in this predicament and wound up performing a Factory Reset to restore functionality.

@larsenb This command worked for me to enable the default launcher again:
adb shell pm enable com.mudita.launcher
I think, if the default launcher disabled there is no way to launch it on the phone. You have to enable it again using ADB. Once it is enabled, though, you can not switch to an alternative launcher. It is somehow overruling the whole sytem. So either you enable the default one and use it, or to use an alternative one you disable it.

It has come very close, I was cleaning up unused code and testing the app for other phones as well. I just have become super busy with work currently and haven’t been able to finish and share it.
The Open Source nature forbids me from sharing it without sharing the code as well, but I can’t do that without cleaning the code from features I’ve removed and things I’ve started but not finished.
I’m gonna try to share it at the end of the week, max this month it will be on github.

As an FYI for everyone: Mudita will allow installing apks through the Mudita center. This will be great for the less technically savvy. Of course they will still need to deal with battery optimization for audio apps etc, but it will be way easier and no adb required.

This is great! It would be even better if we could also change the icons of the sideloaded apps.

@csllr I’ll ask our team about this because I thought an app’s icon design is the work of the app designer & cannot be changed. When you download an app from the Google Play store, can you change the app icon? Just curious.
No, but you can change the app icon in some launchers. And some launchers also support ‘icon libraries’.

@nilss Interesting. You learn something new everyday. LOL
