FoxFW2.0 v2.0.11

A small follow-up to v2.0.10: fixes for Sub-GHz Garage Read on external
modules, menus that return you to where you came from, smoother loading, and
two memory fixes. It also does two one-time things the first time it boots.

The first time you boot v2.0.11

These happen once per SD card and never again:

  • Your default wallpaper is reset to the fox logo. Cards updated from older
    builds still had a "YOUR LOGO HERE" placeholder as the default. If your
    Default.xbm was anything other than the fox logo, it is kept as
    Default2.xbm in the wallpapers folder, so nothing is lost. A different
    wallpaper you selected yourself stays selected.
  • The Sub-GHz RSSI Threshold is set to -65 (the new default, was -75). You
    can change it again afterwards like any other setting. -65 is a little less
    sensitive, so a weak or distant remote may need to be held closer.

Fixes

  • Garage Read no longer ends almost instantly with "No Match" on some
    external CC1101 modules. A few stray pulses as the receiver started could be
    mistaken for a signal. Read now ignores the first moment after the receiver
    starts and ignores captures that are too short to be a real signal, and
    simply keeps listening.
  • Back from a Settings page returns to Settings, with the item you opened
    still selected, instead of dropping you on the desktop. Fox Settings opened
    from the Apps menu returns to the Apps menu the same way.
  • Largest free memory block no longer drops after a Garage Read. It used to
    fall from about 131K to about 78K and stay there until a reboot. Total free
    memory was never affected; this restores the contiguous headroom large apps
    need.
  • A small memory leak in the app loader is fixed (it could occur when
    qFlipper or a serial session connected while an app was loading).

Improvements

  • Garage Read copes with noisy modules and locations. Read now measures the
    background level of the radio it is using and only reacts to a signal clearly
    above it (never below your RSSI Threshold). A capture ends once the signal
    has dropped away, and after 5 seconds at most.
  • A "Decoding" screen during Garage Read. While a capture is being decoded
    you now see a progress bar and which protocol group is being tried
    (for example 3/11), instead of a screen that looked like Read RAW. Back
    cancels.
  • No more desktop flash while loading. Opening Read, Read RAW or a saved
    file from the Sub-GHz Garage section shows the loading wheel straight away
    and keeps it up until Garage opens. Returning from a Settings page to the
    menu no longer flashes the desktop either.

How to update

  • On the Flipper (with a Fox ESP32 attached): open Fox Update Downloader
    and select Fox Custom Firmware.
  • In a browser: the FoxFW web flasher at https://foxfw.github.io/fox-web/flasher.html
  • With qFlipper: download flipper-z-f7-update-local.tgz below and use
    Install from file.
