Changelog inkOS v0.3 - 03 October 20225

Home & Appdrawer

• Performance Improvmenets: Better caching for faster loading of pages.

Brightness Gesture/Action

• Removed minimum brightness threshold (was 25/255); gestures can now set front light to true minimum.

Clock/Date

• Fixed bug where old preferences were saved when only alarm/calendar actions were available for clock widget.

Volume Navigation

• Fixed: Volume navigation buttons stopped working after adding a new app, swiping, or keypad up/down presses on keypad phones.
• Added: Volume navigation is disabled when AudioWidget detects audio playing, allowing volume changes without opening the app. If audio is paused/stopped, page navigation with volume keys works as usual (if enabled in Settings / Extras).

Home Screen & Widgets

• Changed home screen app navigation dpad logic: can now move to previous page using dpad app.
• Widgets are no longer focusable (keypad shortcuts 2,6,7,8 access widgets).
• Added simple vibration feedback for long-press to go to settings and for Set Home App function.

Notification Window & Settings

• Long-pressing Dismiss button now dismisses all notifications.
• Changed solid separators to dashed separators for less visual distraction.
• Limited notification title to one line to prevent layout breakage.
• Notification allowlists: Hidden apps can now be set; fixed bug where Home Notification Allowlist package list did not update.

App Drawer

• Swiping left or right in App Drawer now goes back (only from edges to avoid diagonal swipe conflict).
• Fixed page miscalculation after renaming, hiding, showing, or uninstalling an app; pages now update properly without reopening App Drawer.

Notifications Screen

• Swiping left or right goes back (only from edges).

Extras Screen

• Added "Privacy" shortcut in Extras / System shortcuts for quick camera access (for Mudita Kompakt).
• Renamed "E-ink Quality Mode / E-ink mode" to "E-ink Auto Mode".

Settings

• Replaced full-line separators with dashed separators for better focus on text.
• Added donation link in Settings.
