oumike. A firmware-wide appearance setting: Night stays the default and renders exactly as before, Day is a low-glare light palette with its own semantic roles for text, panels, fields, borders, controls, focus, charts, status colours and chat surfaces. Selecting a mode restarts, so every LVGL object is rebuilt from one coherent palette rather than half-repainted. There is a Night/Day selector in Settings, Display, the Control Center Theme chip is now a direct toggle whose sun/moon icon shows the active mode, and the standalone console UI has a matching Day palette. Main already carried the palette scaffolding for this, pinned to Night behind a comment saying it was waiting on this branch, so the merge mostly replaces those stubs with the real thing. The prefs schema needed care. The branch appended theme_mode as v54, but v54 and v55 were taken by boot_wifi_time/boot_wifi_open and loud_alerts before this merged, so the field moves to the tail behind them and the version becomes v56, with the trailing-field assert and the migration step moved to match. A packed struct read back at the wrong offsets is the failure this schema's asserts exist to prevent, so the invariants from both sides are kept rather than one replacing the other. That also surfaced a stale test: the v53 case asserted that v53 plus exactly two bytes was the whole struct, which stopped being true when loud_alerts landed and was not caught because the host test was not run then. It now counts every byte appended since and asserts the new fields come back at their defaults. The schema host tests pass. While there, the size comment said "about 500 bytes"; the struct is 114. Built on all nine S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A real touchscreen UI for your mesh radio. · open source · GPL-3.0
Touch-UI MeshCore companion-radio firmware for the LilyGo T-Deck / T-Deck Plus, Heltec V4 + TFT and eight other boards (ESP32-S3).
An LVGL touch UI — map, chat, contacts, channels, settings — split out of
meshcomod. The app depends on a
MeshCore fork via PlatformIO lib_deps.

Architecture
This repo holds only the app: the companion_radio glue, the ui-touch
LVGL UI, each board's glue/variants, and platformio.ini. The MeshCore
core is not vendored here — it's pulled as a library via lib_deps from the
ALLFATHER-BV/meshcomod monorepo
(the same repo as the non-touch firmware), pinned by a lean source-only core-*
git tag. The touch-app files this repo owns (TouchPrefsStore, WifiRuntimeStore,
the transports, …) are dropped from the lib via -DMC_VENDORED_TOUCH_APP so they
aren't compiled twice. The build is byte-identical to the original in-tree
meshcomod firmware.
Lua apps use the on-device SDK described in LUA_APPS.md. For WAV/MP3 playback, including a ready-to-sideload transport test app and exact SD and internal-storage paths, see AUDIO_PLAYBACK_TESTING.md.
Build
PlatformIO pulls the core fork and all libraries automatically:
pio run -e heltec_v4_tft_companion_radio_usb_tcp_touch # Heltec V4 TFT
pio run -e LilyGo_TDeck_companion_radio_touch # LilyGo T-Deck
# or just `pio run` to build both
Flash with the NVS-preserving 4-component chain (bootloader / partitions /
boot_app0 / firmware at 0x0 / 0x8000 / 0xe000 / 0x10000) so saved Wi-Fi
credentials survive — not a merged image, which 0xFF-pads and wipes NVS.

License
GPL-3.0-or-later — see LICENSE. wadamesh is copyleft: anyone who distributes a build or a fork must also make their source available under the GPL. This keeps the UI open and concentrates community effort instead of fragmenting it into closed forks.
wadamesh incorporates and depends on MeshCore (MIT, © Scott Powell / rippleradios.com) and other third-party components — see NOTICE for the full list and their licenses. MeshCore-derived files keep their MIT notices; the combined work is distributed under the GPL (MIT is GPL-compatible). The MeshCore fork that wadamesh builds against stays MIT on purpose, so its Wi-Fi/BLE hooks remain upstreamable to MeshCore.
