  Compact and the hint on a key press, battery curve on L1 and L2, "+ Send"
  and a failed send, trail pin, vector map behind -D MAP_VECTOR.
- Developer guide: drawScreenHeader, soft frames, InfoKit, TabBar, a status
  bar without blinking, toast and millis() rules; ui-core status; build
  flags (GPS_SKYVIEW, MAP_VECTOR, HIST_ARCHIVE added, ui-tiny-only ones out).

Settings

Settings are saved as you change them and kept through reboots and updates. On joystick devices they're folding sections: Enter on a section opens it, Left / Right changes a value, Back leaves. Only the rows your board supports are shown.

Section What's there
Display Brightness, auto-off, wake on message, lock screen, the lock clock's look and the PIN, battery as icon / % / volts, time zone, clock format and seconds; on e-ink also rotation and full refresh
Sound Buzzer on / off / auto (quiet while the app is connected), volume, quiet hours, the melody for messages, channels and adverts
Home Pages Order of the home pages, and which are shown
Radio TX power, preset, frequency, SF / BW / CR, saved presets, Auto pwr, the scope list
System Device name, low-battery shutdown, GPS power saving, units, the battery curve, reboot
Keyboard ABC or T9 layout, the two scripts, CardKB mode
Contacts Show all or favourites only (DMs, channels, rooms), favourites on top, contact expiry and prune
Messages Automatic resend of direct messages, the ten quick messages

A few notes:

  • Auto pwr lowers the TX power on strong links and raises it back on weak ones; the power set above is the ceiling.
  • Scope is a list of named regions (plus *, no region). Messages are tagged with a scope so repeaters can tell communities on the same frequency apart. The default one is used for direct messages and repeating, and each channel picks its own (see Messages). Anyone who types the same name gets the same scope; it isn't encryption.
  • Low battery shuts the device down at the voltage you choose, which is also 0 % on the battery indicator.
  • Batt curve sets the cell voltage at 0, 10 … 100 % for a battery that doesn't follow the usual LiPo curve: Left / Right move a point by 10 mV, Reset goes back to LiPo. The current voltage is shown, so a point can be set against what the battery reads.

Note
