> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Now I still vote for less fields 😅😅 Say 5 fields per fieldtype instead of 10. > Or, > a drop down for each field type 🥰 Problem is, if the type of field is selected through a dropdown, i cannot alter the Show As values. So all fields would have all options, no way around that. And i don’t think that that would be more clear. But we are trying to solve the Device Settings Android Mobile App Bug with athom, see my PM. ---

If i could have had any possibilities to make settings dynamic in any way, i would have done that. But for the time being, i can only create settings completly static before release, i cannot alter them in Homey itself. I will keep trying tho 😛 ---

Okay, in develop (almost in Test) we have got it back to this now: During creation: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/c/1cf02b8a98c7dd46cb285f1803d59c683abcdd1a.png) Just pick a icon or upload it, it doesn’t matter. Then in App Settings: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/e/3ea52d0078283ab9550bbbc365a854b09b6702e0.png) Click–\> ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/2/823bbe358a1cc4e88b34bf5dbf6575032019e22d.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/0/60773cbb3a0bb1fad33a8a3c47449d5e51757fbd.png) And here you can again pick from default or upload. Only this device’s icon will change, not another, and you can have as many devices if you would like. ---

**Question:** Should i replace all mentions of the word Capability from settings and AVD (and iconlist) with the word Field? ---

In Test now, the new way of device icons: each device has its own icon. Also, worked on more clear text in Pairing/creating a device and App Settings. **Please let me know if its more clear and easier now.** ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > No biggie, I work a lot with the mobile app, so my finger wears from all the scrolling 🙃😉 > But it’s all personal taste. > _And… the colors per field type are a nice addition!_ I am looking into using repair, instead of Device Setting, to replace the settings. This would give me “complete” freedom in how to build the screen up. ---

It’s getting better and better app to try things out. Thank you Could it be a possibility to reverse number and text in status ? sometimes it looks even tighter. Example of thermostat mode and then the set temperature behind it.
