I fixed the download problem by buying an sdcard.
Now, however, the app crashes as soon as I get past the config stuff and finish or skip the tutorial.
Hi Alep would know best as he is the porter of the android app, what are your specifications? Do you have any crash messages or report?
I tried updating the OS, but it was already up to date.
Version 4.4.2
What specs do you need?

Hello. Sorry for taking some time to answer (and thanks to RolfDhew for keeping an eye on the thread).
If you know how to get the logcat output of the crash that would help a lot.

Also, the /sdcard/ folder should be available even if you don't have an external SD card... you can check it with a terminal app, but a good guess is that it's the directory that contains the "android/data" folder you mentioned.

I just had the same problem too on my Samsung S9 (And whenever I take a screenshot the blue overlay doesn't appear on it).
I found that turning off hardware overlays (In the developers options) fixes the issue (Look at attached screenshot, it describes it as "Always use GPU for screen compositing").

I don't know what that setting does since I know nothing about computer graphics, but maybe it can be a hint about what's going on.

I'm just glad that I can play without the blue overlay!

Say, is there a way to add custom buttons to the port myself?

Because right now we can use the "end turn", "next unit" and a couple of other buttons, but I would like to have the "recruit" and "recall" on specific buttons as well.

Hello.
Sorry, but no... new OSK buttons need to be managed inside source code, having an icon defined, etc...
Anyway, I hope I'll find time soon to add recruit and recall buttons in a future release.

Also, I solved the problem of the missing first keystroke on chat, user commands, etc... I will release the fix along with 1.14.4 upgrade ASAP.

Hi, I am new, here in Wesnoth. I want to play BfW on Android but I`ve got problem with download content. When I start (click on icon BfW) I`ve got statement "error downloading data from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wesnoth ... p/download[/b]". So i can`t dowload.

I`ve got Android 4.2.2. Sony xperia C2105.

I also tried to download first on PC and then on phone but one of the file can not copy (I dont`t remember what name was, but something with "battle")

Someone could help me?

Thanks

Hi
When you download the files on a pc, please try zipping the files then move it to your phone and unzip it into the respective folder. I hope this helps.

When you download from your phone, click request desktop version (while you're in the download page at sourceforge), then you should be able to download the file.

It looks that the main problem is my phone (it`s time to change it).
--> "software downloads are not possible on this device" <--
But thanks for help :)
