Non-ASCII text was rendering as tofu boxes across the UI in any language that needs them: Hungarian 'K□z□ss□gi profil' sat under a perfectly rendered 'Rádió és Mesh' title, same characters, same screen. LVGL's theme puts a font on each widget, so a label that sets none of its own lands on the stock LV_FONT_MONTSERRAT_* — which carries no fallback chain. The title looked fine only because it sets &g_font_16 explicitly. 79 of this file's 543 lv_label_create sites set no font, so this was never a Hungarian bug: every Greek, Cyrillic, Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian user hit the same boxes across the whole UI, and #232 was the only report. useChainedFont() reads what a label actually RESOLVES to and swaps a raw Montserrat for its chained twin, so a label inheriting a larger font from its parent keeps that size — a blind 'set g_font_14 everywhere' would have shrunk those. Buttons re-supply the theme font to their child labels, so styleButton() sets the chained font alongside the text colour it already sets, and settingsRowLabel() no longer leaves font==nullptr to inherit. Two global approaches were tried and verified dead on device: a text_font style on the screen/top/sys layers, and re-pointing the theme's font. Both lose to the per-widget theme style. Noted in the code so nobody retries them. Verified on a T-Deck in Hungarian. 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 and Heltec V4 + TFT (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, the two boards' 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.
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.
