Gearslip now reads messages aloud and takes replies by voice. It asks
whether to reply, reads the reply back and sends it after a countdown.
Say "cancel" or "change it" to stop or redo it, or tap a quick reply.
Speech-to-text runs on the phone with whisper.cpp and a small Whisper
model, so voice works without Google services. The model ships in the
repo, so a fresh clone builds with nothing to download.
New messages show as one card at the top right, with a bar counting
down to when it closes or sends.
Other changes:
- Steering wheel buttons, knobs and D-pads drive the car screen.
- Smoother car audio: chunks wait for the car instead of dropping.
- Sharper, more responsive video.
- The Gearslip switch in Settings now stops it taking the USB
connection.
- Apps that refuse Gearslip say so instead of loading forever.
- The phone asks for notification permission.
- The home screen stays upright.
- The car screen shows what's new after an update.
Push-to-talk voice control, gated behind experimental settings alongside a new raw vehicle sensor screen. Spotify now shows as partial instead of working since its browse tile rejects Gearslip as a host. Fixed a gap where a live nav app couldn't take a fresh destination without a full reconnect.
