Anyone knows a good alternative to this malware that breaks every second Pi it touches? #47

Installed the driver for XPT-2046 display and it simply broke my Pi. Any idea for any other driver I could use with the 3.5 inch touchscreen display that works?

Try installing manually to avoid the ugly installer code. For the basic driver:

Get overlays for your TFT, copying to boot overlay folder. In my case for waveshare 3.2" (c) screen, I use waveshare32c:

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/waveshare/LCD-show.git
$ cd LCD-show
$ sudo cp waveshare32c-overlay.dtb /boot/overlays
$ sudo cp waveshare32c-overlay.dtb /boot/overlays/waveshare32c.dtbo

Edit file /boot/config.txt, with $ sudo nano /boot/config.txt, adding the line:

dtoverlay waveshare32c:rotate=270,fps=60
