Tweaks and enhancements

[Ville]

Hi. Here's something I've been up to lately

- Some ui-preferences (Settings in the settings-menu, defaults are as
they function now.)
- Disable opening of Radar on click to compass (Since I don't really
use Radar, it's been pain in the arse when it opens by accident when
touching the screen to keep the screen alive. I'm also planning to add a
Show radar menuitem so you can access Radar without enabling the tap-open.)
- Wakelock for Compass (Related to the rant above. While I'm using
the compass, I generally want it to stay awake.)
- Hide icon labels from tabs (They're good for beginners but kinda
useless once you know the tabs)

- I Played a round with RelativeLayouts. I watched some google android
debugging tools video some time ago and they went on about how it would
be better to have one RelativeLayout than many nested LinearLayouts.
Apparently they're supposed to render faster or something.
So I refactored the list-item view-element to a single RelativeLayout
loosing a couple of LinearLayouts.

Any objections, suggestions or thoughts?

If these sound Ok, can I just commit them all at once or would it be
much better to commit a feature at a time? They may have changes in same
files so they might be little worky to separate.

And about schedule, It's perfectly ok with me, if these are accepted,
that they go to some future release. So these won't cause more testing
pressure on the 1.9-release.

Sounds good to me. The only question is what advantage there is to hide the tab labels? The tabs don't get smaller as far as I know.

Committing features separately is better in general but if you've done them all at once it's not worth the effort to separate them. However, waiting until after 1.9 is released sounds like a good idea.

There's not really any advantage in hiding the labels. I just don't like them visually and like I said earlier they serve little purpose in the long run.
