This is mainly for the developers of themes. I believe they will notice during work on themes and modify themes appropriately.

The info is based on the size of the images inside. ...

• as OAM-Elevate has some SVGs >20kb and notice is given, I tested SVG-minification by using https://svgomg.net/. p_scree.svg with 33kb can easily be changed to 20% (7kb) or even less, probably without significant or noticeable difference in precision. Seems there is some easiliy achievable amount of optimisation
• does it make a difference if theme is zipped with normal or none compression? Maybe theme gets cached once or at least once which each start and compression doesn't really matter

My 1st experience with 4.27.1_1154 and AA was quite short. I saw the screen but wanted to use my phone for routeplanning and then navigation, sadly I started with one of my presets with rotating screen. I wanted to switch but the whole device went crazy, also see photo. Then I wanted to pull down android top bar at phone to access settings which was not possible, only dropped down a blank black area, several times.
Due to limited time I drew the connection cable, stopped Locus and continued with Gmaps.
Don't know if _1158 provides improvements.
Next tests @weekend.

P.S. the used profile includes screen on/off control, maybe that's a possible reason?

@T-mo: ... However, the issue is solved now

Aah, and the entry appears if not used as icon. The best way it can be, powered by Menion-Magic. I once set the icon, personal preference, and use it since years

@Luce: see pictures below.
(Und ist unter 'Alle Funktionen' zu finden, siehe Bild 4)

Maybe 'settings' should be 1 of the icons at least, does not seem to be the case with this setup. Should get doublechecked, identical to 'settings' cannot be disabled at all.

4.27.1
with quick (=heavy) moving and zooming through the map (OAM-vector) the cursor to position line once stop to get drawn. If GPS is on, the line gets drawn after map-rendering is finished, without GPS (current position is the last known) the line doesn't get drawn. Sort of.

Haven't tested yet, maybe at weekend.
import/export of subfolders:
export of items typically means export of the selected items including their subtrees.
Import is typically the import of the once exported structure, maybe V1 or V2, while V2 this also might be different type of items incl. subfolders, as far as I understand the V2-change and new possibilities.
Well, anything else would make no sense.

@T-mo
you use really really old profiles (maybe 10+ years?). Btw. what app version are you using?

Might be, don't know.
Mostly bleeding edge, always Afa, currently 4.25.1_1141_release.

Mittlerweile ist die brouter-engine in LM4 integriert, als offline-routing.
Der bisherige Weg über brouter als App dürfte ebenfalls noch funktionieren.
Die Profile für LM4-offline-routing sind im Locus-Ordner unter /router/profiles2/.
Hier kannst Du welche von der brouter-app oder aus der zip (https://github.com/abrensch/brouter/releases) rüberkopieren. Du kannst sie mit einem Texteditor bearbeiten, wenn Du kompetent darin bist.
Menion überarbeitet gerade noch die Möglichkeit, in den Profilen genutzte Variablen aus Locus heraus per UI zu steuern, enabled/disabled und genutzte Werte. Das ist noch work-in-progress, funktioniert aber schon etwas.
Bei den Profilen musst Du testen, teils schicken die Dich auf die Straße statt direkt den breiten Fahrradweg daneben zu nutzen.
So ganz optimal ist das alles noch nicht.

Honestly, recording state can be enhanced, I caught myself unaware of the current state as no pulsating of symbols or location arrow or no changed color of track recording sidepanel-header is given, only the icon in the map-corner changes but that can generally mean different things UI-control-wise, though I was aware of its meaning.

Any idea of how to change the rec-profile-symbol, dedicated activity ?
I suppose this being a bug.
P.S. obviously missed the nonsense-advice in the help

Menion, please notice. The bottom command bar in point mode is barely shown. This is independent from using fullscreen mode.

Confirmed.
But only happens to me with a routeplanner planned track, which I saved, not with recorded tracks.
Only happens at  trackpoint 1 and then subsequently changing to no. 2 etc. With trackpoint 2 the detail popup changes its size with moved overlaying bottom bar, misplaced in the middle close to the location-header. Once I pull the detail popup down to make it smaller, the buttom bar jumps back to bottom, then fully visible, and everything stays fine.

@T-mo
full-screen > do not use it, if it does not work. It is a hacky unreliable system. That's why it was removed and will not come back. Thanks for understanding.

It works!!
99% flawlessly.
The 1% is at app-start and changes if some fullscreen-dialog is entered  e.g. settings, so it's more 0.5%.
This 0.5% was solved once, but sometimes things change.
It's just feedback to optimize LM.
If you have doublechecked the mechanism and code and it's superduper-tricky at all, then nothing to complain and good to know.
I just have coded too much in my life to sometimes not recognize unknown barriers.

As being an expert I am using expert settings, and here 'Fullscreen mode' in particular
Once again Locus starts with an additional black bar at top, which goes away once screen enters a Fullscreen-dialog, i.e. settings, track edit, route planning, then Fullscreen is working perfectly fine.
Though mentioned and corrected several times, zillion sort of, it seems that the used code or mechanism seems not being robust enough, checking bar states, or does not survive releases.

Das ist mit Sicherheit noch stark verbesserungswürdig. Ich fahre manchmal Strecken ohne Sicht aufs Smartphone und nur den gesprochen Streckenanweisungen nach, mit dem Rad. Je 60min Fahrtzeit (hohes Tempo) sollte man 10 Extraminuten einplanen, das meine ich wirklich so
Ich meine mich auch zu erinnern: bei den Anweisungen heißt 'nach links' eher links halten bzw. schräg links, wird bei 'bear_left' benutzt. Bei 90° käme eine andere Anweisung, im englischen 'turn left' bzw. 'links ab' (dürfte so sein, meine de.tts ist angepasst, ggf. nochmal bei github nachschauen)..oder sharp_left, not sure

@Andrew:
maybe try the package installer (if this is due to permissions) or redownload package?

Mir gefallen die Neuerungen grundsätzlich, aber braucht noch Feinschliff.

- dass die bestehende Ansicht nicht verändert wird würde ich vorschlagen, wenn's nervt. Kann das verstehen, manchmal schaut man, scrollt und zoomt aufwendig, und dann ist alles dahin.

- Anzahl Klicks - wenn die flowability gegeben ist, dann ist's eine Frage der Übung. Ich klicke oft blind, quasi mit erscheinen der Darstellung. Also schnell geht schon wenn man kann

- jetzt sieht man zumindest Teile der Karte und kann trotzdem voll konfigurieren, ggf. sogar korrigieren oder umstellen. Finde ich gut.
