pisti87 pointed at a commit of his (dc94f44) with 64 Hungarian rows, including translations for the strings added over the last few releases. He put them in src/ui-touch/i18n_builtin.h, which says "DO NOT EDIT" at the top because it is GENERATED from deploy/apps/lang/*.lang. That turns out to be my fault rather than his: yesterday I added 29 keys to the .lang files and never ran gen-lang-builtin.py, so the compiled-in fallback still had the old table and a device that has not downloaded a pack still showed English. Editing the generated file was a reasonable guess at where the strings lived. So: his rows are merged into deploy/apps/lang/hu.lang, the canonical source, and the builtin is regenerated from it (13 languages, 12514 rows). Both paths agree again. Four of his rows would not have compiled - two used a tab where a comma belongs, and two left the quotes inside the English unescaped, one of which had pasted "Nincs válasz." into the middle of the English key. Reconstructed rather than dropped; the intent was unambiguous in each. A fifth pointed at something real: he translated "Battery life: geathering data..." and no such key exists. Ours has no typo, but more importantly it was never wrapped in TR() at all - a bare literal snprintf'd straight into a user-visible buffer, which the unwrapped-literal scanner does not look at since it only inspects LVGL setters. It is wrapped now, along with the one literal the scanner did flag (the UI size dropdown), so the scan is at zero and both strings are translatable for the first time. Audit: 916 keys covered in all 13 languages. Published as language v13 and the store is live. 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.
