Emoji: bake 4 more Noto colour glyphs (soccer, american football, moai, transgender flag) and add them to the picker. The trans flag is a ZWJ sequence the single-codepoint imgfont lookup can't render directly, so its combined Noto image is keyed on the lead codepoint (U+1F3F3) with the trailing symbol mapped to the zero-width glyph — the whole sequence renders as the one flag. Only the 4 new glyphs are baked + spliced (scripts/build/add-emoji.py); the existing 252 stay byte-identical (no Noto-main art drift). Chats header: group the three actions at the LEFT edge in the order + (add) / ✓ (mark all read) / QR (share), and draw a real baked QR glyph (qr_icon.h, from scripts/build/gen-qr-icon.py, recoloured to the text colour) instead of the old LV_SYMBOL_IMAGE 'picture' stand-in. Contacts sort: every sort option now toggles ascending/descending — re-tapping the active row in the Sort sheet flips it and shows a ▲/▼ arrow. New 'Nearest first' (distance) sort orders by distance from our GPS and excludes contacts that have shared no location. Discovered list: gains the same sort sheet (Recently heard / Name / Nearest, each asc/desc) via a sort button at the top of the list; distance likewise excludes no-location entries.

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.
