Hello,

I am using OruxMaps v. 10.7.4 GP.

I created a profile 'orux' on my phone [Samsung S24, Android 14]. I have fine tuned the buttons the way I want them. I would like now to have the same UI configuration on my tablet [Google Nexus 2013 with Lineageos, Android 13]. I installed a fresh OruxMaps on the tablet. I copied from the phone to the tablet the file '...oruxmaps\preferences\4.2\om2_orux.xml' to the same place. I checked before that the file timestamp matches the moment I adjusted the profile.

On the tablet in the profile menu I then press sync. The profile 'orux' appears in the list. I press it and select load. The UI is not updated.

What am I missing?

Hello, the profile if it is transferred, what happens is that the information of the interface you use does not go in the profile, that is.
Beginner interface , basic , complete , unified .
This you have to select your, once you have put the same interface you will see how your profile if applicable, for example the button panel
Best regards

Hey,

Thanks for your help, but it's not fully clear to me (non native English speaker?)

I understand from you post that the user interface settings are not saved in the profile.

I tried to enable "unified interface" in the settings, but then my customization disappears. It's back if I uncheck it.

So how can I copy the user interface settings to other devices?

Thanks.

Hello, what is your language? I have no problem answering in another language.
If you're using the unified interface on a regular basis, try this, check the unified interface first, and then load the profile.

The unified interface was disabled when I tuned the UI. Now, when I enable it, it reset the UI. If I load my custom profile it doesn't restore the UI as I set it up. My customization comes back when I disable the unified interface.

I don't really get what steps I shall follow in my case.
