Thanks for your message, Folkdisco
I hope you forgive me, but I had to move the post out of the original feature request topic and stored it as new question instead.
No worries about many topics, that's no problem at all.
But it's much more easier for others to find responses if a question is posted as a new topic, rather than being a response to something completely un-related.

It just doesn't appear on setup/midi.
I have a Wileyfox Swift 1 running android 6.0.1, which does, apparently, support Bluetooth LE, so I'm not sure what I am missing, or why the button doesn't appear.
I do tend to turn off permissions where I don't think they are needed, which is easy to do under Cyanogen, which comes with the phone. So it's *possible*, that I have turned something off, but I don't think so.
I am running G Stomper version 5.7.0.2, latest version.
I quickly checked the code, just to be 100% sure.
Here's what we check in order to show the "Scan for Bluetooth LE Devices".
1. The device must run on Android 6.0 or higher
2. The device must provide the feature "android.software.midi"
3. The device must provide the features "android.hardware.bluetooth" "android.hardware.bluetooth_le"
4. The device can claim access to its Bluetooth adapter
+ the following permission are required:
android.permission.BLUETOOTH : required to access the Bluetooth adapter as described in 4.
android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN : required to access the Bluetooth adapter as described in 4.
android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION : required for the scan
The Bluetooth permissions will definitely influence the results of the mentioned conditions.
And if one or more of these conditions is/are not met, then the button won't show up.
