quicklaunch shall not be recorded in the history

Add setting to exclude quicklaunch from history, if it is present

remove print statements

If long press HW button do reset history. Set some variables to null if app history is disabled.

add info re long press HW button resets history

remove check for 'fastload.5.boot.js'. it would show up in the app history during development because the web ide said to load the uploaded app. it should not be needed in normal operations of the app for users.

fewer checks for if useAppHistory is true, by first declaring some variables and then defining them inside an if-statement

add recommendation of 'Fast Reset' app in readme

Fastload Utils

EXPERIMENTAL Use this with caution. When you find something misbehaving please check if the problem actually persists when removing this app.

This allows fast loading of all apps with two conditions:

  • Loaded app contains Bangle.loadWidgets. This is needed to prevent problems with apps not expecting widgets to be already loaded.
  • Current app can be removed completely from RAM.

Settings

  • Activate app history and navigate back through recent apps instead of immediately loading the clock face
  • If Quick Launch is installed it can be excluded from app history
  • Allows to redirect all loads usually loading the clock to the launcher instead
  • The "Fastloading..." screen can be switched off

App history

  • Long press of hardware button clears the app history and loads the clock face
  • Installing the 'Fast Reset' app allows doing fastloads directly to the clock face by pressing the hardware button for one second. Useful if there are many apps in the history and the user want to access the clock quickly.

Technical infos

This is still experimental but it uses the same mechanism as .bootcde does. It checks the app to be loaded for widget use and stores the result of that and a hash of the js in a cache.
