A collage of all screenshots showcasing comparisons of the symptoms above.
SUMMARY
Clean install of the krita-arm64-v8a-5.3.0-beta1-release-signed.apk from the
newest 5th Feb 2026 post. Launched it, and was welcomed by messed up UI and
text scaling (no HiDPI support enabled)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. download apk from
https://download.kde.org/unstable/krita/5.3.0-beta1/krita-arm64-v8a-5.3.0-beta1-release-signed.apk
2. launch it without HiDPI support enabled (make sure Android and One UI
version matches)
3. experience the anxiety of a cramped environment
OBSERVED RESULT
The text seems to be incredibly massive so much so it often gets cropped by
other elements, some UI elements have also suffered, no settings change
anything except for HiDPI support. Enabling the HiDPI support setting only
slightly helps (especially with text), but will still scale UI elements to be
too big, much bigger than I'm used to!
EXPECTED RESULT
I will attach some old screenshots of my workspace, with the UI size that I'm
expecting and am used to, the last version did not cause such problems and I
have not changed any settings inbetween these before and after screenshots.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android: 16
One UI: 8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have attached the labeled screenshots below. I am sorry I cannot provide more
specific information :( Thank you for your incredibly hard work ♡
