Touch firmware beta_6 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_5 will see beta_6 on their next update check.

New: RF Monitor app

  • A new Monitor app on the app drawer — a live RF sniffer that shows exactly what your node is pulling out of the air in real time.
  • A "Recently heard" feed lists recent received frames by type (text, advert, ack, route-trace…) with RSSI, SNR and hop count, colour-coded by type.
  • A link-margin readout grades how much headroom your last packet had (green / amber / red), alongside a live packet rate and a noise-floor + peak-hold RSSI scope with an on-screen dBm scale.
  • Lays out cleanly in both portrait and landscape, so it's readable on the Heltec V4 and the T-Deck.

Chat & contacts

  • Direct-message chats now show a person icon and channels a group icon (instead of the old loop / envelope).
  • Block a non-contact sender by name — handy for silencing an automated room or repeater bot you couldn't block before.
  • Opening a chat or channel no longer jumps to the newest message — it keeps your scroll position.
  • The contacts Sort & Filter popup now closes after you pick a sort option.
  • Fixed the chat/channel long-press popup: the close ✕ no longer overlaps the buttons while you scroll it.

Time & timezone

  • New time-zone picker with named zones (no longer CET-only) — set yours in Settings → System.
  • Fixed the clock getting stuck at 1902 and channels showing 1969–1970 dates: GPS no longer clobbers the clock with an invalid date, and the time now survives a reboot.

Launcher & Wi-Fi

  • Map tiles now download under Launcher (the tile cache was wrongly reported as full).
  • GPS now gets a fix under Launcher.
  • The setup-wizard Wi-Fi scan no longer comes up empty — modem sleep is deferred until after you're connected.

Bluetooth

  • Bluetooth now advertises under your node / profile name instead of "NimBLE".
  • The Bluetooth PIN no longer resets on its own — it's saved and reused across reboots.

Power & performance

  • Turning the screen off now downclocks the CPU and enables Wi-Fi modem sleep to save power.
  • On the map, your position dot is drawn before the tiles so it no longer lags behind when panning.

Community

  • Merged map-server and SD-tile rendering fixes contributed by Vybo (#11). Thanks!
