* Handle said rotation shenanigans inside ScreenSaver & ScreenSaverWidget, which allows a more targeted approach; and prevents said rotation from affecting other widgets. (Also, gets rid of duplicated code).
* Handle the corner-case or exiting early from a "keep on screen for n sec" screensaver better, by unscheduling the extra refresh, since an early tap took care of that already.
Allows the device to go into standby (if available in `/sys/power/state`) to save power.
Adds an entry in the device menu to tune the timeout for standby.
(Shows total standby- and suspend-time in system statistics.)
* Only toggle nightmode via the grayscale fb info flag on Kindle
Most NTX boards require elaborate trickery (see fbdepth) to actually
send a vput ioctl without the driver screwing with the rotation behind
your back.
This was causing spurious hardware rotations on exit on most Kobo
devices, something which might have gone mostly unnoticed, as current
Nickel versions will sanitize it on startup.
A simple repro was instead to start an USBMS session, as that exits
KOReader and restarts it without going through fbdepth again ;).
* Rejig frontlight warmth API to more closely match the existing API, and, hopefully, clarify some of its quirks, and reduce boilerplate and duplicate code in platform implementations.
* Tweak Kindle:setDateTime to prefer using the platform's custom script, as in interacts better with the stock UI. And make the fallbacks handle old busybox versions better.
* Add Kindle PW5 support ;).
* Add warmth support to the Kindle platform.
* Random TextBoxWidget cleanups: make sure we immediately free destroyed instances.
* FrontLightWidget: Refactor to make it slightly less obnoxious to grok and update; i.e., separate layout from update, and properly separate brightness from warmth handling. Move to simpler widgets instead of reinventing the wheel.
* TextBoxWidgets: Implement `setText` to match TextWidget's API, as some callers may be using the two interchangeably (i.e., Button).
* NaturalLightWidget: Make sure we pass a string to InputText
* InputText: Add debug guards to catch bad callers not passing strings ;).
widget
Since we only use a single icon, we have to take a few shortcuts:
* The icon itself is computed based on the average of both batteries.
* The actual value is the sum of both batteries.
* Much like everywhere else, charging means the *aux* battery charging
(i.e., connected to a power source).
Re #8741, which does the same for ReaderHeader.
* The first few capacity reads after connecting to the cover may fail
* The PowerCover may trigger spurious move/add usb_plug uevent,
which translate into Charging events for us.
Instead of blindly lighting up the charging LED on those,
check if the device is actually charging, first.
Implement it on the Kobo Sage, for the PowerCover
TouchMenu: Display auxiliary battery status
Kobo: More accurately report the PowerCover's charging status
i.e., try to actually figure out if the auxiliary battery is charging
instead of just checking the reader's battery (because that one will
often swap between the charging and discharging state as it drains the
aux battery...).
PowerD: Use a cached timestamp when doing battery pull checks
screen.
Otherwise, on the Sage, weird flash glitches may happen, depending on
what was on screen...
(e.g., there's some weird update merging shenanigans going on
despite those updates being flagged NO_MERGE...).
cores
* Only keep a single core online most of the time.
* Device: Add an enableCPUCores method to allow controlling the amount of
online CPU cores.
* Move the initial core onlining setup to Kobo:init, instead of the startup script.
* Enable two CPU cores while hinting new (e.g., cache miss) pages in PDF land.
* Enable two CPU cores while processing book metadata.
* Drive-by fix to isolate the DocCache pressure check to KoptInterface
and actually apply it when it matters most (e.g., k2pdfopt stuff).
We should always unschedule suspend before scheduling it again (i.e.,
use rescheduleSuspend ;)).
Fix#8097 (many thanks to @Mel-kior for the detailed repro!)
We've managed to trip a few of those on dimen fields post-init but
pre-paintTo in a few weird coner-cases, a point at which dimen is often
nil.
ConfigDialog: Deal with that very thing in update()
Fix#7656
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Updated readSetting API to allow proper initialization to default.
Use it to initialize tables, e.g., fixing corner-cases in readerFooter that could prevent settings from being saved.
(Fixes an issue reported on Gitter).
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Add simpler API than the the flip* ones to toggle boolean settings.
* Update LuaSettings/DocSettigns usage throughout the codebase to use the dedicated boolean methods wher appropriate, and clean up some of the more mind-bending uses.
* FileChooser: Implement an extended default exclusion list (fix#2360)
* ScreenSaver: Refactor to avoid the pile of kludges this was threatening to become. Code should be easier to follow and use, and fallbacks now behave as expected (fix#4418).
* Make switching *back* to the default DPI via auto actually work
properly.
eg., by actually setting DPI back to defaults, and clearing the override
flag.
* Bump base to pickup https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1258
* Warn on restart if the startup script has been updated, because a restart will not reload it.
* Also warn right after the update if it contained a startup script update...
* Enable AutoSuspend plugin on rM
Fix#6769
Re: #6028
* Use the PowerEvent handler on rM
It makes much more sense than the fire & forget & hope for the best
approach copied from the Kindle platform, because we *are* controlling
suspend ourselves (mostly), unlike on Kindle ;).
Fix#6676
* Enable HW inversion on the rM
I mean, we kinda forgot to ever test that, but I don't really see why it
wouldn't work ;).
* In icons mode, just use two different icons to display Wi-Fi status
* Enable Wi-Fi status icon on Kobo & Cervantes, too
* Refresh footer on (dis)connect if the Wi-Fi status item is enabled
The differences between Allwinner/MXC matter surprisingly little in practice, it's not even worth
it to bother the base mxc driver with it. Instead, frontend can make some informed choice by
probing for the hardware and tweaking requested device caps accordingly.
On Allwinner B288, we disable both hwrot (done in software in kernel and terribly, ie not worth it)
and hwinverse (no support whatsoever). On NXT we'll keep both on, as the kernel driver seems
to be using the hardware properly .
CBB now handles nightmode correctly (by deferring to Lua), so we no longer
need to do monkey dances about disabling it when hw invert is missing.
canUseCBB cap is resolved by generic device re-configuring blitbuffer
on the go, so as to avoid repeating the same thing in every device driver.
The dev setting can now flip cbb on the go, so one can gloat at the near
meaningless perf difference - 2Mp draw is 15ms Lua / 10ms C on 1GHz Cortex A7.
* Uses bunch of new plumbing in base to configure screen rotations in hardware (koreader normally does this via blit buffer rotations, except for android).
* Some PB specific kludges that used to pollute core/framebuffer_linux are brought into PBs frontend driver.
move state change event to higher level function so it will be called after powerd.is_fl_on is updated.
makes _setIntensity redundant so get rid of it
obsoletes #6667
* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
* Allow locking the gyro to the current screen mode (i.e., orientation).
* Tweak the "sticky rota" option to work both ways
* More rotation constant usage instead of magic numbers
* generic Device:info() function which returns the model
* add Device:canSuspend() and make it true in all devices that have suspend routines and the emulator
* also enable fake poweroff/reboot on the emulator
* add Device.home_dir
* add Device:hasExitOptions() and update menus & comments
* Kindle FL shenanigans
Either fix#5986, or break a whole crapload of weird corner-cases.
Possibly the insane AutoFrontLight checks.
* Make fl step 0 usable on devices where 0 doesn't turn the light off.
By fudging an extra step on our own side.
* Also, add some debug logging around wmctrl to try to figure out what's
happening there...
Touchscreen is mirrored in X & Y and has a different resolution from the eink panel.
Uses systemd for time/date/suspend/poweroff/reboot
Two systemd units for platform integration. button-listen is a very
simple launcher.
to-do: add support for wifi by implementing a wpa supplicant dbus client.

* Don't store stale screen/rotation modes in book's settings!
Gyro events *may* entirely bypass the local copy...
In any case, using a local copy was essentially asking for trouble...
Actually fix#5772
(because the issue was indeed that a Gyro swap from Portrait to Inverted
Portrait wasn't stored properly).
* Allow showing ScreenSavers in Inverted Portrait.
That works just fine, and won't lead to the confusing situation where a
lefty might pick up the device as a righty because the ScreenSaver
happens to be shown that way, only to have it rotate back to its lefty
orientation on wakeup...
* Try to make sure restoreWifiAsync eventually sends a NetworkConnected
event...
re: #5109
* Take a page from @shermp's book, and make sure wpa_supplicant managed to
connect to the AP before acquiring an IP.
Tear down WiFi modules in case of failure.
c.f., https://github.com/shermp/Kobo-UNCaGED/pull/21
* Don't let restore-wifi-async.sh enable WiFi behind our back when we're
killing it to start Nickel...
* Don't even call ping if there's no default gw
* Make toggling Gyro events more robust
Actually ask to turn it on/off depending on the setting, instead of a
blind toggle
A quick succession of suspend/resume events could otherwise leave it
in an unexpected state (i.e., off when it should have been on).
For some mysterious reason, I have a duplicate default gateway on my
Forma, one with no metrics, and a proper one.
This ensures we pick the proper one.
I'm fairly sure this is temporary insanity on the part of my device,
but, still, it can't hurt.

Either at all, or because it would impose reduced functionality.
Meaning:
* On 4bpp fb, because those are completely unsupported by the C BB
* On 24bpp fb, because it has limited support for that target format (no alpha blending).
* On 8bpp Linux eInk fb with an inverted palette (that's basically only the K4 ;)).
* On Linux eInk devices w/ no HW inversion support, as that would render NightMode inoperable.
That last point means that it's currently *always* blacklisted on PocketBook, because I don't have a PB device, so I don't know how safe HW inversion would be, meaning none of them are marked as being HW invert capable.
(I was a tiny bit hasty with https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/912 ;).)
* Make hasNaturalLight* caps safe to call without a device check. (fix#4919)
Make it clear that it's expecting the NTX implementation, though.
* Don't turn the FL on on resume if it was off on suspend
* Make sure turnOn/turnOff actually updates hw_intensity in the process where it matters, instead of just in a short lived fork ;). (fix#4923)
Companion PR to https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/884
* Basically flags devices known to be stable when using PxP inversion.
* Plus, random fix for #4870 ;).
* A few FrontLight tweaks & cleanups on Kobo:
* Moved the Kobo-specific startup status insanity to Kobo-specific init
* Made turnOff/turnOn frontlight do a smooth ramp down/up
* On Kobo, use turnOff/turnOn for suspend/resume, to get that smooth toggle
* On Kobo, for NaturalLight w/ a mixer, only set warmth for setWarmth, and only set Brightness for setBrightness, otherwise, it tried to set both with not in-sync values, which made the FL widget jittery.
* Fix the "Enable debug logging" checkbox so that it properly disables "Enable verbose debug logging" when it gets disabled
* Avoid asking ImageWidget for alpha-blending when it's not useful
* Make ImageWidget's alpha-blending code-path double-check that alpha-blending actually is needed, and avoid it if possible
* In the same vein, only do alpha-blending in textboxwidget when absolutely necessary
* Prefer color constants over the gray() method, ensuring that they're part of the eInk palette
Depends on https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/853Fix#4774
When we rotate to show a screensaver, restore original rotation *before* closing the ScreenSaver window.
And ensure closing the ScreenSaver *always* triggers a full update, no
matter the settings.
Fix#4621
* Flash a white screen before showing a screensaver image, to prevent
ghosting.
* Really limit the white flash to full-screen images
* Limit that behavior to eInk screens
(Not that clear() is implemented anywhere else, but, still).
* On Kobo, kill WiFi on startup if we detect an inconsistent state...
Untested, not terribly pretty.
The other solution is to slow down the Wi-Fi meny by doing the same
check for the "Wi-Fi connection" checkbox as in the later wifi_status
one...
* Don't enable auto_restore_wifi by default
It's liable to silently murder batteries for no good reason, given that
we prompt to enable WiFi by default when needed, and we otherwise have
no actual need to keep WiFi on in the background.
re #2215 (in particular, this directly contradicts @houqp in
https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/2215#discussion_r74696133 ;)).
* Enable HW dithering on supported devices (Clara HD, Forma; Oasis 2, PW4)
* FileManager and co. (where appropriate, i.e., when covers are shown)
* Book Status
* Reader, where appropriate:
* CRe: on pages whith image content (for over 7.5% of the screen area, should hopefully leave stuff like bullet points or small scene breaks alone).
* Other engines: on user-request (in the gear tab of the bottom menu), via the new "Dithering" knob (will only appear on supported devices).
* ScreenSaver
* ImageViewer
* Minimize repaints when flash_ui is enabled (by, almost everywhere, only repainting the flashing element, and not the toplevel window which hosts it).
(The first pass of this involved fixing a few Button instances whose show_parent was wrong, in particular, chevrons in the FM & TopMenu).
* Hunted down a few redundant repaints (unneeded setDirty("all") calls),
either by switching the widget to nil when only a refresh was needed, and not a repaint,
or by passing the appropritate widget to setDirty.
(Note to self: Enable *verbose* debugging to catch broken setDirty calls via its post guard).
There were also a few instances of 'em right behind a widget close.
* Don't repaint the underlying widget when initially showing TopMenu & ConfigDialog.
We unfortunately do need to do it when switching tabs, because of their variable heights.
* On Kobo, disabled the extra and completely useless full refresh before suspend/reboot/poweroff, as well as on resume. No more double refreshes!
* Fix another debug guard in Kobo sysfs_light
* Switch ImageWidget & ImageViewer mostly to "ui" updates, which will be better suited to image content pretty much everywhere, REAGL or not.
PS: (Almost 💯 commits! :D)
Supported devices:
- Boyue T61 and *some* clones
- Boyue T62 and *some* clones
- Onyx C67
- Energy Sistem (which are in fact Boyue T62 clones). Was tested on a energy pro 4.
Others may work with the same controller too, but are disabled by default.
