* Warn on restart if the startup script has been updated, because a restart will not reload it.
* Also warn right after the update if it contained a startup script update...
* Run grep against /proc/modules directly instead of forking to lsmod
* Revamp the CPUFreq governor choice logic
I finally figured out why the scaling on the H2O was so wonky:
Because it relies on an obscure i.MX hardware feature called DVFS,
and it gets flipped for mysterious workaround-y reasons depending on
Wi-Fi state...
* Start playing with conservative, because just staying pegged at max
clock is entirely stupid.
And DVFS is extremely conservative, it needs somewhat sustained load to
clock up...
* Take care of the DVFS switcheroo in the Wi-Fi scripts
* Don't attempt to restart Nickel when asking for a reboot/shutdown
Use a magic exit code to ID those cases.
* Limit this to Kobo, to avoid breaking potentially existing assumptions
with other platform's startup scripts
- adaptative icons
- minify + shrink
- remove unused assets to save a few KBs
- install apk by clicking on notification after download (doesn't apply to F-Droid)
Includes:
new QualcommOnyxEPDController for Onyx Boox Nova 2 (and possibly others)
refactoring and support for qualcomm epd modes
Includes new eink test, that should work on Qualcomm Onyx devices.
- Lcd devices won't use the SurfaceView, just the good old native content/window (except AndroidTv and ChromeOS)
- All android dialogs will be presented with Material Design on recent devices.
- Added an option to device settings to manage application battery optimization.
- Permissions that require the user to go to a settings page will be presented with a native android dialog.
- bump android-luajit-launcher
- Changes under the hood: koreader/android-luajit-launcher#257
This allows for better energy efficiency (no more 50Hz tick poll),
as well as lower input lag / higher precision - touch events are
native linux ones.
In addition, auto off/suspend plugin is used in this mode, as we need
to trigger (timed) sleep / poweroff on our own, since the OS ones
will no longer work whenever koreader has focus.
This is for rooted devices only, and possibly somewhat FW
specific, so enabled only on PB740-2 where it's reasonably tested.
* PB Crash Screen:
* We don't actually support the "tap to restart now" behavior, it's a
plain sleep.
* Remove CBB toggling leftovers missed in #6696Fix#6780
The reMarkable version of fbdepth doesn't support the -1 rotation so
this was actually not setting the rotation at all. I didn't notice this
as I was always launching koreader from xochitl so the rotation was
already set correctly.
* Be even more defensive around KoboUSBMS handling in the startup script
And add some more logging. To the log before a session, to the syslog
after, because we can't be sure onboard is viable.
* Display a short version string straight in the Version label
* Move system statistics inside the Help menu
* Move Version inside Help
* Bump base
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1173
* Enable i18n in KoboUSBMS
* Rejig the "No confirmation" USBMS setting:
In now *only* affects the USB plug in event.
The menu entry will never show the popup (clicking on it should already
be confirmation enough, that, yes, we really would like to do that,
please ;)).
Also, enable said plug in behavior on Cervantes, too ;).
* Add an option to disable USBMS entirely
* Bump base
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1170
* Unbreak Wi-Fi on Kobo w/ FX >= 4.23+
Stop relying on WIFI_MODULE_PATH, it's no longer exported by the init
script.
Fix#6500
* Resync the nickel restart script w/ upstream
Let udev handle the SD card, and actually allow nickel to see those events by re-creating the FIFO ourselves, to avoid races.
* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
