TRAMES 1.1.1 — its own launch screen

Navigation that routes around automated licence-plate readers.

A small release with one visible change: TRAMES now shows its own launch
screen
, not OsmAnd's.

What changed

The startup splash is TRAMES. OsmAnd's SecondSplashScreenFragment — shown
briefly after the themed launch screen — still stacked OsmAnd's logo and
wordmark, so a fork named TRAMES greeted you with OsmAnd branding it doesn't
speak for. It now shows the TRAMES launch mark and wordmark, forced to a dark
background so the mark reads cleanly on any device theme. The OpenStreetMap
credit is kept
— the map data is OSM's, and crediting it is correct under
ODbL.

Everything from v1.1.0 carries forward: ALPR avoidance on by default with
zero setup, the camera map layer served from the project's own infrastructure,
and the five avoidance-strength levels.

Licensing note

TRAMES is a GPLv3 fork of OsmAnd; this
change is to GPLv3 code, freely modifiable. No CC-BY-NC-ND artwork was edited —
OsmAnd's own splash drawables remain in the tree, unused. See
client/TRAMES-NOTICE.md
for the full attribution and licensing posture.

Install

Package org.soulstone.trames — installs alongside OsmAnd rather than
replacing it. Open it, type a destination, and avoidance is already on.

⚠️ Read this before you trust the build

This APK is signed with the public Android debug key (CN=Android Debug,
the well-known keystores/debug.keystore, password android).

That key is not secret. Anyone can build a modified APK signed with the
identical key, and Android will accept it as an update to this app. The
signature proves nothing about who built it.

For a tool whose users are specifically trying to avoid being tracked, that is
a real weakness and not a formality. Until a proper release key exists:

  • Verify the SHA-256 above against a build you make yourself, or
  • Build from source: ./setup-resources.sh && cd client && ./trames-build.sh
