I think I figured out what's triggering the dialog box issue in game. Increasing the text size slider in the graphics menu above 3 makes dialog boxes glitch out. The text doesn't appear and the bottom right button is off screen because the dialog box scaled with text size increase. Is the mod just designed to work with the default font size?
Playing BG2EE version 2.6.6.7 with latest UI version. Issue happens on multiple android systems. Happy to play at default font size but larger font sizes are a bit easier on my eyes.

I'm having the same issue.
Unfortunately my phone is way too small to play with the default font.

Same problem. No dialog and unclickable buttons. Latest versions. Samsung Galaxy A41. BGEE 2.6.6.6.
I've been running into the dialog issue as well. Few more details:
Neither NPC dialogue nor player response options appear, just the empty window
Journal and confirm buttons are unclickable
Default portrait appears instead of the character's dedicated portrait (if applicable)
Only happens above a certain font size, but varies based on which dialogue it is - the tutorial dude near initial spawn works as long as font size is below 3, while Imoen's initial dialogue only works at the minimum size (which is really not playable on my device, unfortunately)
My setup:
Samsung Galaxy S10e
Android 11 (Samsung OneUI 3.1)
Baldur's Gate EE version 2.6.6.7
Latest version of the mod
For completeness, I tested running the mobile app on my computer via Samsung Dex, and did not prevent the bug. (Similarly, I tested changing the screen DPI and even running it in multiwindow mode, neither of which changed its behavior at all.)
(Tried peeking through UI.MENU for possible culprits despite having zero experience with IE modding, but noped out pretty quickly when I saw the file length )
I think I ran the mod before a few months back and it worked fine, but I might be misremembering. So may be due to game version? But I'm unsure, and don't have the ability right now to download an older version of the game and check because that's a very large file lmao.
Nice! Can confirm it works on my device as well now.
Also, for those who are having issues with the portraits being blacked out during character generation, I found that for me it fixed it to change this block (line 16180, currently) in UI.MENU from this:
I've opened a pull request on GitHub, but tbh I don't know enough about this to guess at whether it could potentially have negative side-effects or not (I didn't run into any, but that doesn't mean other devices won't break...).
I'm also facing issues trying to loot small containers (think the tree in the first forest or the rock in Lion's Way). I don't think this is a mod issue tho. Can anybody help me? 😅
Hi Pecca, been trying to play BG:EE on my phone and the UI was horrible until I found your mod. This is amazing work taken the game from unplayable on a phone to fantastic! Signed up to the forums just to say thank you for you work 😊
On Android, select the "override" folder inside "the pocket_play_ui" and copy it to:
Android\data\com.beamdog.NAMEOFTHEGAME\files\
I have an android phone and Icewind Dale EE installed (I play it all the time). My Android\data folder is empty.
Update: Android phones will no longer allow you to access these files natively. You have to download a third party app. I used X-plore and it worked well.
This UI Mod is great! Makes the game enjoyable on my phone!! excellent. One issue I have is that when I click the levelup button in the record screen my screen just goes black. I looked into UI.MENU and I'm having a hard time finding where the level-up screen is reffered too, maybe I'm missing a BAM file or something that actually has the level-up screen image? I can switch back and forth between classic UI and this one, but am interested in understanding to UI.MENU and maybe fixing this.
Thanks so much
@Pecca Was a solution ever found for the levelup bug? I am having the same issue on IWD:EE. No other mods but this one. When I click to levelup the screen goes black and never comes back. I downloaded your most recent version.
Hi!
First of all i wanna thank Pecca for the mod. The default UI made the game unplayable for me, with my big stocky fingers.
I wanted to also mention a bug (i guess it is a bug) where i cant open the spell description screen from the spellbooks.
I can do it from the hotbar, in a first instance. But after i try to do it from the spellbook, the hotbar option stops working as well.
Thanks so much again for the mod. Hope you can find a solution for this.
Edit: Could this mod work on steam verion? I discovering the whole mod world now and im getting really hyped.
@Pecca Could you make a version for PCs? I'm playing the game on Steam Deck, and this UI is brilliant when installing on PC. It would fit my control scheme perfectly, and make it better suited to that small screen.

Technically, there is nothing stopping you from installing the mod on PC, but you might experience some issues, that are not present on touch screens. For example problems with keyboard shortcuts or misplaced strings in tooltip labels.
Came back to try the latest release of this mod on my android phone and the level up bug is still there. Whenever you press the button to level up, the screen goes black and stays that way. @Pecca do you have any thoughts about this? Is there maybe a workaround or anything?
@Pecca is there a way to remove just the level up menu from the mod so that it just pops the old menu? Maybe if I do that I can still level up and use your mod for the rest of the game.

Hi! That is super sad news. I'll tinker with it on my end and if I ever figure it out I will come back and let you know.
