Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

What are the benefits of compiling? (Was: So compiling will....)

<< < (3/3)

Mikerman:
An iRiver iHP-140 user here, which has been around with Rockbox for awhile.  I used to compile so as to add about 3-5 patches:  the back-to-root patch, a Chicago proportional font "fix" (to give the number 1 the same space as other numbers), and 3 or so WPS appearance patches.  Rockbox added most of what I want nowadays into the source code (or I no longer care about certain of the patch features), and so now I compile simply to change the opening splashscreen to show my contact info.

One thing yopu may want to do:  browse the patch directory (link at left) to see what might be there that you might want, to see if compiling would be worth it to you.

SataniK:
You know your right I don't think I am going to go through with this It does what I need it to do and there is nothing else I really need.  Thanks for helping me sort though this.  I would still like though if for those of you that did compile tell me what you did with you.

krazykit:
I use a few of the patches that many others use (album art, bmpresize) and an additional patch for the Gigabeat: swapping the functions of SELECT and A buttons.  I also used the mpegplayer resume patch.

SataniK:
Ok I see thanks guys you can lock this if you would like but I did not know if anyone else wanted to post.
