Oh, maybe the issue is that it uses some of the desktop settings and some of
the mobile settings.

That's somewhat of a known issue. For simplicity, some of the phone UI is only
initialised if Dolphin is run the very first time
(https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/blob/a4533d653febc89c8970d88c3a4ebf41f9e55658/src/dolphinmainwindow.cpp#L207).
So dynamically switching between a phone and a desktop UI does not work
perfectly.

The reason it works when changing HOME is probably because it cannot load the
leftover desktop settings then.

If people are interested in dynamically switching between a phone and a desktop
UI (perhaps because they have a tablet that can also function as a laptop),
that would need a different implementation. When I implemented the phone UI,
this wasn't really a main focus of mine.
