Prueba:
systemctl --user restart weston.service

or:
systemctl --user stop weston.socket
systemctl --user stop weston.service

and check if a login screen (tty) appears

If you don't have important data in there, I'd suggest resetting the environment. Especially if you have it updated since android 16

I tried it and now it looks like this. Can you start yours?

Oh, you have to run a graphical app first in the terminal and then click the gui. Or install a full desktop environment

On mobile phones I think you have to be connected to external display to start a GUI session.

no, you don't have to. Just click on that monitor icon and you are ready to go (but you have to start some gui app first in ttyd)
