Yeah, I know, this is really wrong. BTW, it's basically a relict from SHR@Neo FreeRunner where everything runs as root and it is not a problem to save data basically anywhere.

I'm going to migrate the profile data to ~/.modrana in the near future + the tracklogs do MyDocs (so that they are mass storage and file browser accessible).

or at least make it smaller and put it at the corner at the screen?
Check out the /opt/modrana/user_config.conf - please note that you changes might get nuked at upgrade.

Good point - good UI is very important and not easy (especially for mobile devices), so why not use/adapt something proven.

OK, if you don't mind.

I'm thinking about first doing an alternative "simple" navigation UI inspired by the navigation view but there might be some other interesting usable concepts in other views.
