I have just unpacked and flashed my new t-deck and I'm very excited! Sadly, i had to use some google drive provided old firmware (2.5) since I can not figure out how to find(, build) and upload the firmware.
Having worked with esp32s in the past, i know of the many different ways to flash them (platform.io, webflashers, esptool, etc) but I'm missing something.
Where is the "fancy ui" actually from and how do you build it? I was just told to clone, build and upload the latest from github. (https://meshtastic.org/docs/development/firmware/build/) but that just flashes the crappy ui which I have no idea how to use.
Very thankful for any help! Thanks!

Exactly what I was looking at picking up!
Would love to hear thoughts on it in action.
If you‘re okay with flashing, it works well. So far communicating wasnt really possible unless sitting directly adjacent. Will perform further tests.
