Basilauncher 1.4.62

Basilauncher 1.4.62

• The front light uses CrossPoint's brightness curve, and the level and on/off state are shared. Change it in either app and the other picks it up on the next boot.
• A text browser opens DuckDuckGo's HTML home.
• Wi-Fi lists nearby networks. A known secured network joins with its stored password, and up to eight networks are remembered.
• A GPS map reads topo tiles from the SD card. A finger drag moves the view.
• The shade brightness control changes the lamp immediately, and letter keys flash in place.
