Doing a major overhaul of a lot of the code. I'm cutting some bullshit features that weren't really needed, and migrated to the latest versions of all libraries I'm using.
This probably prevents the app from working on really old phones but... it comes with a lot of benefits, in the shape of performance and stability.
So far, the following changes have been made:
- Removed the title bar line that a Github-contributor put in ALL backgrounds
- Removed the "Consumption" screen and the optional Service screen that didn't work yet.
- Removed the Raw data screen. No one needs it, especially not while driving.
- Reworked (+added) some of the themes, because all themes with "red" graphics didn't look too good on smaller screens because of PNG resampling and such.
- Dark mode for the settings app.
- Improved previews of themes and fonts in the settings app.
- Optional different fonts for titlebar and clocks.
- All "needles" are now graphics, instead of just plain lines. This looks better and saves me a lot of lines of code that was needed to switch nicely between graphical needles and non-graphical.
- Applying styles and themes like they are supposed to be used. This prevents the left clock from looking slightly different than the right, and saves me some work when changing all of the clocks.
- Testing the addition of custom TorquePIDs
Still in the works:
- Ambient coloring for all needles.
- Override ambient coloring so you can use your own favorite color
- Find a way to get reconnected to the exlap channel again. I broke it sometime yesterday and didn't find out until today's testdrive. Whoops. It's all part of the game ;-)
- Fix a bug that doesn't nicely reload the theme when changing it in the settings app.
- Get a new OBD2 dongle, because Torque doesn't like my old dongle anymore.... so can't test Torque at the moment.
Some wide preview shots with 2 new themes, and a different background.
