Sansa E200 (new to rockbox

[Errant33]

I have the sansa e200 series and i have a few questions regarding the UI and customization of rockbox software

-Can i disable the Delete Feature (I use the player at party's and this could be potentially dangerous)
- Is their anyway to Change the Fonts used for Main menus and theme displays if not can someone point me in the correct direction coding wise
- Is their a way to customize the themes for Recording and FM station through .wps
- Is their a way to change fonts with in the same theme so it can display multiple fonts with in one screen.
- What files contain the Information regarding Main menus etc so I can customize them
- Also what program do you guys use for coding, I am use to  Visual basic only because my college forced me to use it for the past 4 years.

My basic goals are to make the player a little more restricted for those who have multiple people on their players and don't want to risk them touching things they should not. I am thinking along the lines of being able to hide menus and possibly password lock them.

I have only had rockbox for 3 days now and my second day i wrote my own theme that i feel is above par on most of them, this gives you a idea of were my skills in coding are. As long as i have code to modify i usally can figure out what does what and optimize/ change it to do what i want so basically i am looking for someone to help point me in the right direction and get involved in the project.


You guys rock fyi just wanted to say thanks for the work you put into this project and i hope i can contribute something productive to it, sorry if some of these questions are in the wrong forum

-Can i disable the Delete Feature (I use the player at party's and this could be potentially dangerous)

That's why there's a party mode.

- Is their anyway to Change the Fonts used for Main menus and theme displays if not can someone point me in the correct direction coding wise

Yes, just change the font from the settings menu.

- Is their a way to customize the themes for Recording and FM station through .wps

Not currently.

- Is their a way to change fonts with in the same theme so it can display multiple fonts with in one screen.

Not without using a custom build.

- What files contain the Information regarding Main menus etc so I can customize them

root_menu.c

- Also what program do you guys use for coding, I am use to  Visual basic only because my college forced me to use it for the past 4 years.

Text editor of choice - doesn't matter which one, so long as (if you're on windows) you remember to change the file to unix line endings.

My basic goals are to make the player a little more restricted for those who have multiple people on their players and don't want to risk them touching things they should not. I am thinking along the lines of being able to hide menus and possibly password lock them.

Again - party mode locks the player down quite nicely.

There's no way to disable the delete feature, but you might find the party mode useful:  http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch7.html#x10-1030007.1

- Is their anyway to Change the Fonts used for Main menus and theme displays if not can someone point me in the correct direction coding wise

Yes.  First, make sure you download the fonts pack on the "extras" page (see the link in the navigation panel on the left).  Then simply browse and select the font you'd like:  http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-sansae200/rockbox-buildch7.html#x10-1070007.5

- Is their a way to customize the themes for Recording and FM station through .wps

No

- Is their a way to change fonts with in the same theme so it can display multiple fonts with in one screen.

I believe that there is an unofficial patch to accomplish this, but it's not a feature that is currently officially supported.

I worded my question wrong sorry i mean have a Main menu font different from the theme itself



And thanks for the quick response guys i am gonna get started playing with the code later today

No, the menu and the WPS currently use the same font.

As a note, you should never have your only copy of your music be on your player, portable players die far too often. If you've got a backup, you're not risking anything re the delete feature other than finishing the party without that song.

O i know lol unfortunately i bricked my h120 player then bricked my external hard drive in the same week about 6 months ago lost 9 years worth of music collecting  that week. Good game to me plugging in the wrong charger on my h120 then knocking over my external well it was on.

Now i keep the music in 3 places just for saftey

Well i got Cygwin installed and i was able to Compile a working version of the newest rockbox...... now its time to start digging into the code and having fun


Edit: First Custom Build Compiled and running, also looking into the sansa battery time estimator to make it more accurate

Custom build included music_led.patch
and
Battery information patch ( had to do this one manually cause the patch file wasn't working) its still off tho
