Or do something like gestures.
Tap the screen = Play/Pause/Select item (at tapped position, if possible)
Move Stylus from left to right = Skip forward
Move Stylus from left to right and hold it there = FF
Move Stylus from right to left = Skip backwards
Move Stylus from right to left and hold it there = REW
And move up and down for menu navigation
So I think the touch screen could be used like 4 arrow keys, this would also make doom playable.
The buttons can be used like n0tH suggested.
I must say I only used Rockbox with the Cowon X5 simulator, so I don't know whats possible and whats not.
Llorean:
For me, I've always thought that if you wanted to divide the thouchscreen, rather than requiring movement of the stylus, you could just divide it into virtual "buttons".
Basically, take the whole rectangle of the screen, and cut two diagonal lines across it (from corner to corner). You get four triangles, these are the up, down, left, and right buttons. Basically, as long as your stylus is at the edge of the screen you're going left/right/up/down. Then, in the center there's a rectangle 1/4 the size of the total screen (so, it's half the screen width and half the screen height) that serves as the select or Play/Pause button depending on
A) which is more suitable
and
B) Which is more appropriate for a physical button (based on labeling of the physical buttons).
Generally, to me I prefer "Select" since this is still a "Navigation" function, which is what touchscreens are for.
luck3r:
This is good, too.
"Select" is the best choice in my opinion, on stock firmware I always use the M button as play/pause, even if I have to use the hold switch to do that.
shotofadds:
Yes, I think Llorean's suggestion is very workable (Select in the centre seems most logical) and in fact it's similar to the way cursor keys are implemented in the D2's Flash Player. Certainly it'll be useful for menu/plugin navigation, as I can't see Rockbox having a fully touchscreen-aware UI for quite some time.
The OF also has a nice feature where the +/- buttons can be enabled while the hold switch is on, which can be set to either skip tracks or change volume. On paper it sounds like a bad idea but is actually really useful when using the D2 in a pocket, etc. I think we should try to implement something similar (eventually).

I don´t know if it really helps but i will test your patch on my 8GB D2-non-DAB when it comes back from repair. And do you have a paypal-account? I would be willing to donate you for your work so far (not much as i don´t have much by myself but enough for a beer. ;D).

Thankyou for your kind offer, but I'm doing this for fun, not profit - if you want to donate you can use the Paypal button on the Rockbox homepage, which I'm sure will go towards a worthy cause like server hosting for the project, etc.
I'm off to do some more disassembly to work out how to read the flash drive. I may be some time :-\
jarivk:
I had a problem in using tcctool. I tried loading file D2N_rs.bin using tool.
It says application patched successfully but D2 doesnt boot up. I had asked this before also. I am using 2.50 firmware 4GB model. I tried removing SD card too. What can be the problem??
