Touch firmware beta_5 for the LilyGo T-Deck and Heltec V4 + TFT.

Install or update via the web flasher → https://flasher.wadamesh.com (or flash the *-merged.bin at 0x0 with esptool). Devices on beta_4 will see beta_5 on their next update check.

Contacts

  • Person icon for people and an antenna for repeaters, instead of a generic envelope / lightning bolt.
  • Block / unblock anyone straight from their popup — blocked contacts get a red person icon and their messages are hidden.
  • The list is now a proper table: dedicated last-heard and distance columns, a Sort & Filter button, and multi-select delete with an are-you-sure prompt and a progress bar (favourites are protected — unfavourite them first).
  • Time and distance are smaller and pushed right so names get more room; a name too long for two lines scrolls instead of spilling onto a third.
  • Un-favouriting a contact removes its star right away.

Discovered nodes

  • The Discovered list now survives reboots (it used to empty every boot) and holds up to 48 nodes.
  • New Discovered settings (cogwheel): auto-delete the oldest node when full, and auto-delete anything heard via more than N hops — keeps the list fresh and nearby.
  • The count badge shows "48!" when the list is full.
  • Adding a node from Discovered appears in Contacts immediately; a purge-all button sits next to Close.

Region & radio

  • Setting the region / default scope from the official MeshCore app now works — it used to time out (no_event_received); public-channel floods are now region-tagged. (companion-v1.16.0.3, issue #31)
  • US/Canada radio preset corrected to the proper 910.525 MHz · 62.5 kHz · SF7 (was 915 MHz / 250 kHz / SF11).
  • T-Deck transmit power restored to the full +22 dBm — the SX1262 antenna switch was mis-driven, leaking most of the power (~4 mW). (issue #6)
  • Auto-add settings moved to their own dedicated page (out of Radio), reachable from the Contacts menu too.

Chats & sound

  • Each chat / channel row now shows the time of its most recent message on the right.
  • Mute messages and/or @-mentions per channel, from that channel's settings.
  • The @-mentions screen has taller rows (fits two lines); tapping a mention jumps to that exact message.
  • Volume is now +/- buttons instead of a hard-to-drag slider; a master Sound switch silences everything, with independent Messages and @-mention switches (the @-mention chime is distinct, with its own on/off + volume).

Map

  • The map remembers your zoom and pan when you leave and come back, instead of snapping back to your location every time.
  • Tapping a contact on the map opens a compact popup (no Block button there).

Keyboard & input

  • T-Deck keyboard: backspace deletes at the cursor instead of always chopping the last character, and editing respects where you place the caret.
  • The Quick replies page now scrolls so you can reach and edit every slot.

UI polish

  • Refined bottom tab bar — flat icons that take your theme colour with a soft glow under the active tab — plus an unread-count badge on the Chats icon.
  • App drawer: colourful app icons, the command tile relabelled "Cmdr", the Apps button in a contrasting accent, and three-per-row on the Heltec V4.
  • Full-screen settings pages with a clear X to close, a subtle new-message chip, and a full-page Signal view with a live readout and manual refresh.
