Frequently Asked Questions

  • How to apply UI tweaks?

    Install the plugin provided along with the apk and:

    • Apply theme color: Check Control Panel/Appearance/Tiddloid Tweaks/Apply theme color to system bars.
    • Hide toolbar: Check Control Panel/Appearance/Tiddloid Tweaks/Hide toolbar on loading complete.
  • I encountered a Javascript error followed by a white screen in newly created files.

    • Check your Android version. TiddlyWiki 5.1.23 has critical bugs on Android 5.1 and below (WebView 39). A solution is to get a pre-release version of TiddlyWiki, which have had this bug fixed or, a previous version without this bug.
  • Why there's a Tiddloid Lite? What's the difference between this and Tiddloid?

    In the past 1.x days, Tiddloid use legacy file:// ways to handle files, causing the lack of access to cloud medias. Later I made another branch that implements Android's SAF (i.e. Storage Access Framework), and finally it became a lightweight version. Now since Tiddloid 2.0 has been refactored to use SAF, this project has been discontinued except for bug fixes.
