At FOSSGIS I was asked to try to install qgis on a very small android phone, I think it was a 3.2″ screen. the install went smoothly after making some space but then the problems came because of the small screen.
\nEventually I thought about setting a smaller font size to make the UI scale more, the problem was that it was impossible to get to the size setting because the UI was to big.
\nAs a workaround I created a QGIS.conf file with this content
\n[General]\nIconSize=32
\nfontPointSize=4<\/code>and pushed it to the device using the android debug bridge<\/a> like this:
\nadb push myQGISConfigFile.conf \/data\/data\/org.qgis.qgis\/files\/Settings\/QuantumGIS\/QGIS.conf<\/code>
\nOn the next start the whole gui was nice and small and fitted the screen.
\nHere some screenshots from my Samsung galaxy 9000 with 4″ screen and a video demonstrating digitising (with pen and fingers), GPS, compass and zooming on the phone.
