I compiled the current svn code but list acceleration does not work on my iPod 5.5 80GB. I tried start delay 500ms and speed 2x/1s and also 2x/10s but when I scroll through long lists (e.g. browse through my artist list using the database) there is no acceleration at all.

BTW, I understand the List Acceleration Speed option to increase the speed during scrolling by 2 each X second (e.g. 2x/1s means double speed each second and 2x/10s means double speed only each 10 seconds). So a start delay of 500ms and a speed of 2x/1s should be the highest acceleration. Is this correct?

Last question: Does the List Acceleration Start Delay value = OFF mean that list acceleration is turned off or that it starts without delay?

It means list acceleration is off.

It's still broken for iPods till JdGordon has finished his exams.

Is the list acceleration for the iPod still broken or is it meanwhile fixed? I don't want to bother, only to know if I missed it.

I'm new to Rockbox.  I downloaded the most recent build a week or so ago, and I can't get this to work on my 5th Gen iPod (30 GB).  The scrolling never speeds up, even with the delay set low.   ???

I finally got the thing to work.  I set the Accelleration Delay to OFF, tried scrolling through a long list of Albums (obviously with accelleration OFF), then tried these settings:

Accelleration Delay 500 ms.
Accelleration Speed 2x/1s

Anyway, now it seems to work, but it's very sensitive.  It feels like if your finger comes off the iPod scroll wheel at all it slows down again.

After playing some music, it's back to being slow again.  Maybe this is some sort of memory issue with large lists?  Is there any way to make this thing faster on an iPod Video 30 GB and stay that way?

The slow/fast thing is actually to do with whether or not the CPU is boosted while you're scrolling or not. Typically it is whilst you're listening to music, and isn't when you're not.

There's a patch in flyspray at the moment for doing this the way the sansa wheel works, which hopefully will make it into svn sometime soon. This does *proper* acceleration, and you'll love it ;)

EDIT: FS 7738 if you're keen on trying it yourself - I just have, and it's brilliant :)

I also tested FS#7738 on the iPod Video 5G (80GB) and this patch really works great. Much less choppy then the previous patch (FS#5594) and in my opinion in principle much better than a time based solution like the list scan acceleration which does not allow to slow down when you come near to the item you are looking for. I would love to see FS#7738 comitted.
