Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
The interface can be written separately from main Rockbox project by someone who is good at designing interface.
Sorry to jump in out of nowhere, but I'm very interested in having Rockbox on my iPhone. But from what I've been reading in this thread it seems to me that most of the work thats taking place is for the Android port. That said, how would I go about making whats done so far run on my iPhone? Or is this not possible?
Plus, you would have to jailbreak your iPhone - something you might have done already if you're posting that here.

Apple will not approve apps for the App Store that replicate or replace "internal" or included functionality such as the music player. Messing with the iTunes ecosystem is a no-no. They want all music synced using iTunes and played in their player with their interface. In the same search session that I found this thread, I found youtube videos from 2008 for CorePlayer running on the iPhone. Two years ago they claimed then it was real close to being submitted to the App Store. It has never seen the light of day. Has anyone found any other apps with Rockbox like functionality for a jailbroken phone? The closest thing I have found is MPlayer in Cydia. I installed it and nothing happens except a blank screen for a few seconds. Maybe I have to pass it a file from a command line but I am not sure.
I believe I have everything installed correctly;Ubuntu 10.10Rockbox sourceandroid SDK and NDK (latest)Compiling rockbox without errorsmake zip without errorsmake apk gives me:...DX bin/classes.dexAPK bin/_rockbox.apkTHIS TOOL IS DEPRECATED. See --help for more information.KEYTOOL debug.keystoreSIGN rockbox.apk...I have been looking for help on this on the web, but sofar no luck Only thing I foudn was not to use apkbuilder but use aapt instead.. not sure if we do and if not how to change it..any help appreciated..EDIT: found the warning should only mean the tool is superseded and not break the build. However the resulting APK will not install on my HTC desire..
That worked.. txNow to get the icons to be a bit bigger and the drfault font larger.. (on the 480x800 screen it's _real_ small..)
I made a set of 24x24 icons a while ago...when the port first started running on device actually.Not sure if/when it'll ever get committed though.
