How to send a debug report?

The game starts up but tapping on buttons does not work.

Mouse default emulation mode is "relative movement" mode.
This means that you don't have to tap directly on buttons (which can be too small on small devices), but you'll have to use the touchscreen like a notebook's trackpad to move mouse pointer by dragging a finger on the screen and then, when the mouse pointer is on a button tap anywhere on the screen to send a click.

However, mouse emulation mode can be changed to "pointer follows finger" mode, which is probably what you are expecting if you tap directly on buttons.
To do this, open port menu by starting the game and tapping on "Change configuration" button which is shown for a few seconds.
Pick "Mouse emulation configuration" and then "Mouse emulation mode". There you can select "Pointer follows finger".

Text is too small to read.

If your device has a very high DPI value (i.e. small screen, high resolution), game fonts may be too small to read.
To fix that, tap on "Change Configuration" button which appears for a few seconds on startup, select "Startup options" and check the "Set custom display resolution". Close the popup leaving default values (Width: 800, Height: 480).
This will force the game to 800x480 resolution, and make everything in the screen look bigger, including fonts, and this setting will be kept for following runs.

Can I manually upload packages to my device to avoid downloading?

Yes, you can get zip files from sourceforge and put them into /sdcard/. The game will then unpack those instead of downloading.

The game is english only, switching language in preferences has no effect.

Make sure you downloaded the "translations" package. To download it: Translation data will be downloaded from the web before starting the game.

I can hear no sound or music.

On first startup sound and music are disabled by default.
Just open game preferences and turn sounds on.

Where are savegames located?

That depends on the location you have choosen on first startup to hold your data. Beware the .wesnoth1.12 folder, which is a hidden folder.

Game does not work on my phone/I have a bug to report.

You can contact me by email or on wesnoth official forums, providing the following information:

I have a great idea for improving your port/I want to request a new feature.

Every idea or suggestion is very well welcome. Do not hesitate to contact me, but please keep in mind that my spare time is (unfortunately) limited.
I will listen and try to answer to everybody. Which however does not mean to answer "yes" to everybody ;-)

How to send a debug report?

If I ask you to send a debug report this is the way to do it: If I did not asked you explicitly for a debug report please don't waste your time as it will be ignored.
