Svartifoss 2.1.1


Watch

  • Configurable always-on display (AOD): a new "Always-on display" section
    in the phone's Watch face tab controls how ambient mode looks — pick the
    style (Follow face, Classic, Expressive, or Minimal) and toggle the
    album art (off = pure black background, a real battery saver on AMOLED),
    the clock, and the track title/artist individually. The existing
    ambient album-art opacity setting moved into the same section.
  • Expressive face now has its own AOD: ambient mode no longer snaps the
    Expressive face back to the classic look. The new expressive AOD keeps the
    same layout — title/artist, prev/cookie/next, contour progress ring, and
    the queue/volume/menu pill trio — but rendered as thin outlines over black
    (the Wear OS 6 system media controls' AOD look): no fills, no animations,
    no marquee, burn-in protected by the same pixel jiggle, and deliberately
    few lit pixels so hours of AOD stay cheap on battery.
  • AOD outline color, brightness, and per-element toggles: the outlines
    can stay white or take the album color (or a custom color — both lifted
    automatically so dark accents stay readable on black), an AOD brightness
    setting (20–100%) dims everything for extra battery savings, and the
    transport buttons, progress ring, and bottom pill trio can each be shown
    or hidden individually. Because the expressive AOD keeps the exact button
    positions of the awake face, the tap that wakes the watch lands with your
    finger already on the button you were aiming at.

Phone

  • Fixed the phone often failing to detect that the watch app was installed,
    incorrectly showing an "Install Svartifoss on your watch" prompt even when
    it was already there and working. The check ran on a long-deprecated,
    blocking Play Services API that frequently never completed on current Play
    Services builds. Also fixed that prompt's button opening a dead Play Store
    page on the watch (the app isn't on the Play Store) — it now opens the
    GitHub releases page instead, matching the equivalent fix already shipped
    on the watch side.
