Current Usability of Rockbox for Sansa?

(1/3) > >>

nx_2000:
I'm a longtime user of Rockbox (since the Archos Jukebox was new, now have iRiver h320 too) and I'm interested in  finally installing it on my Sansa e280.  I was wondering what the currest usability of the firmware is, and if it is yet an improvement over the included UI.  Last I heard, there were issues with the sound.  Has that been resolved yet?  Frequent crashes?

GodEater:
Why not install it and find out ?

Bagder:
The sound issues were fixed ages ago.

The UI is not as slick-looking as the OF, but it looks very much like Rockbox does on the other targets it runs on.

I wouldn't use anything but Rockbox on my Sansa.

Actually I find, after applying an icon theme, it looks quite good. Here is a screen dump of my personal modified unofficial build:

I totally agree.  ;D

The screen meltdowns appear to be a thing of the past.

The only problem I run into now is in rebuilding the database after installing a newer Rockbox version.  My last two upgrades have required me to "rm -rf ./.rockbox" and then reinstall Rockbox, fonts and themes.  You may want to copy some .cfg files before doing this.

Coming from a Karma, the database is my comfort zone.  If you don't use the database then this issue is moot.  See FS#7355 for details.
