* The Great 8bpp Experiment
Swap to 8bpp on Kobo, because we're 'effing grayscale, for pete's sake!
* Always swap to 8bpp, no matter the launch method.
Because it turned out that, even when restarting Nickel, we had to
restore the expected bitdepth ourselves, because pickel/Nickel didn't do
the job completely.
(I'm going to guess the grayscale flag wasn't getting flipped properly).
* Dither every non-transparent icon to the eInk palette
* Make sure hasBGRFrameBuffer is only enabled when the Kobo fb actually is
@ 32bpp...
* Re-process badly grayscaled icons
* And re-grayscale that one w/ gamma correction so the squares show up
better.
* Allow the fbdepth switch to be disabled (in Developer settings).
Also, allow setting debug mode that way.
Also, forcibly disable verbose logging when disabling debug.
* Update setting name to piggyback on the existing check in reader.lua
* Update icons postprocessing info
Multiswipes consisting of mixed straight and diagonal strokes are not dependable and too easy to mess up, but making them mutually exclusive seems to work out quite well.
When multiswipes are enabled, this fixes the long-standing complaint that swiping to open the menu could unintentionally trigger some light panning. With the introduction of multiswipes, this problem has become more noticeable.

Apparently it's natural for me to make the second swipe slightly longer than the first, so I never noticed a logic issue. I did notice that it seemed slightly harder to make 4-swipe multiswipes than I expected it to be, but those are not necessarily easy gestures to make.
The problem was that I needed to prevent obviously silly gestures like west west west east. In ignoring such duplication, what I accidentally did was to ignore any further movement west after the first multiswipe direction was detected, meaning that the following swipe east could still end up as a relatively western movement overall.
By simply updating the current multiswipe slot in case of the same direction, both problems are prevented. We'll never get the same direction twice, and X moves over to where it's supposed to be on the left.
The concept is quite simple: stick a file on the OTA server named
something like `koreader-appimage-latest-stable` (by analogy with
`koreader-cervantes-latest-stable.zsync`), which contains nothing
but a filename.
The difference with the zsync update is that the link is then launched
in the user's browser (AppImage) or DownloadManager (Android, not yet
implemented).
* Android hasOTAUpdate = no for the moment
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
The basic idea is that you gain an infinite amount of extra gestures,
although in practice you're probably mostly limited to your 16 basic
two swipe combinations and maybe a few three swipe ones.
* 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.
Requires https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/798
Requires https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/96Fixes#4373Fixes#1613 (supported devices will show the "full refresh rate" option under eink settings. Others won't)
Related #4228 (need to add support for this specific device to work)
WiFi handling is handled asynchronously (deferred to lipc), so this is a
bit clunkier than on devices where we handle WiFi ourselves...
But, basically, try to honor the menu callback when toggling WiFi so
that the status gets updated in the menu.
Fix#4472
* use product as device model
* print android version (codename + number) + api at launch
* exit the application properly
* fix fullscreen switching (and disable it on newer android versions)
* gettext: lower log level for message: cannot open translation file
* android common settings refactor
Defines new function reconnectOrShowNetworkMenu(), which iterates over
available networks ordered by signal power, and check if we can connect
to saved SSIDs. If we can, then skip network list dialog.
* Fix the Touch input probe on Trilogy devices that depend on the touch_probe_ev_epoch_time quirk (fix#630)
* Expose a "Pageturn button inversion" feature in the Navigation menu (for all devices with keys) (fix#4446)
* Allow ignoring the accelerometer on the Forma (Screen > Ignore accelerometer rotation events; also available from the Gesture Manager) (fix#4451)
* Fix SleepCover handling on the Forma (fix#4457)
* Make isWifiOn a tiny bit more accurate (check the actual WiFi module instead of sdio_wifi_pwr)
* Move all flash related Screen options to the eInk submenu
* Enforce a known rotation on startup, to make sure we handle touch input coordinates properly.
* Proper FrontLight warmth support (thanks to @cairnsh & @pazos in #4291)!
* Fix the PageTurn buttons mapping to match Nickel's defaults
* Properly remap PageTurn buttons depending on the current rotation.
* Actually enable the Mk.7 screen refresh codepath on *all* Mk.7 devices (I'd messed up the device check...).
* Full accelerometer handling (includes a touch of refactoring regarding orientation handling in general).
* Fix insidiously broken USBMS behavior in Nickel after we exit on FW >4.8.
Fix#4291Fix#3002
* Implement isWifiOn on Kindle (fix#4380)
* Ensure frontlight intensity is properly restored on resume on Kindle. (fix #Fix #4392)
Only actually matters when the frontlight is *off*.
