wadamesh beta_9
A reliability-focused drop — Wi-Fi recovery, a self-healing chat-history fix, crash-report export, plus room-server, map, contacts and app-drawer improvements.
Install / update: flash from flasher.wadamesh.com, grab it in LauncherHub, or use the on-device update check (Settings → About).
Stability
- Wi-Fi now reconnects on its own after the link drops — no more rebooting to get back online.
- Fixed reboot-on-every-received-message: a corrupted chat-history file could make the device reboot whenever a message arrived (and hide your messages). The bad file is now detected and reset automatically, so it recovers on its own.
- Boot hardening: NULL-guards on the display draw buffer so a unit with quirky/limited memory degrades gracefully instead of getting stuck on the boot logo.
Crash reports
- After a crash, Settings → About shows an "Export crash report" button that saves the crash dump to the microSD card — so you can send it to the devs and get the bug fixed.
Chat & room servers
- Room-server messages now show the time each message was actually sent, not when it arrived.
- Room-server messages now show who sent them.
- Sharing your contact QR now produces a valid
meshcore://contact/add?…code that the MeshCore phone app can scan and import. - Unread counts show "99+" instead of an alarming raw number on busy channels.
Map
- The reload button for corrupt tiles now actually clears the cached tiles — including when you're offline — and the missing/blank "twilight zone" tiles re-download on their own.
- Fixed tiles not re-fetching at zoom levels 13–15.
Contacts
- Favourited contacts always appear in the contact list now, even with hundreds of similarly-named contacts (they used to stay hidden until you searched).
App drawer
- New icon-size setting — tap the cog at the top-right of the app drawer to switch between Compact and Large (bigger icons + labels, easier to read).
- Smoother scrolling through the app list and the other scrollable lists.
