I have a OPEN-SMART 2.8" TFT LCD Shield
Driver IC: RM68090
My problem is that ive tried multiple libraries and cant find any solutions to my problem.
The screen is used in a project regarding home security and i would like the screen be the display where i can activate/deactivate the alarm system

My problem is that ive tried multiple libraries and cant find any solutions to my problem.
And what might this mysterious "problem" be?
problem is described underneath (you've only quoted a part of my post)
When you ask a question it is wise to include a link to the display e.g. the Ebay sale
If you have tried a library, say which version and what was wrong.
The IDE Library Manager will tell you the version. The Library Manager will install the correct version from the correct site. Avoid unknown sites.
Open-Smart provide a hacked version of my library. I presume that it will "work" for your board. But they hacked a very OLD obsolete version.
You could use the proper version of MCUFRIEND_kbv library from the Library Manager but it requires some minor configuration.
You could also use the Beta version which is "easier to use with Open-Smart".
Which Arduino do you want to plug the Shield into?
What external electronics do you want to connect? e.g. Sensors
It is very important to avoid having multiple libraries with the same "class".
This involves leaving the IDE. Deleting unwanted library directories. Starting the IDE. Installing the required library via the IDE or Manager.

I'm using the shield with a arduino uno board, unfortunaltely i am unable to provide any link to the site where the screen is bought since i am borrowing it from my professor.
The sensors im using are:
MQ2
Infrared PIR sensor
Ultrasonic sensor (HC-sr04)
HALL sensor
ESP8266
I am combining all of these component into a home security system that sends push notifications to your mobile phone. Everything is up and running, the remaining part is to include the LCD shield to turn on or off the system.
I have tried using MCUFRIEND_kbv, OPEN-SMART, and adaruite GTX.
I am able to display animations with the MCUFRIEND_kbv library, but have not been sucsessfull using it to draw buttons i can use for screens intention of turning on/off the system
Write down your pin budget on paper.
The TFT uses a lot of pins.
Write down which pins are used for your Sensors, ESP8266, ...
If you want help with Touch, you must say what libraries you are using. (and where you got them from)
