Play button problem

<< < (2/4) > >>

AlexP:
The file I linked to is in the rockbox source code, not in the compiled build on your player.  You need to edit the source code then compile it to build your own modified version of rockbox.

Have a look at this: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?topic=SimpleGuideToCompiling

thanks for the help. unfortunately my user name is not a lie. So if there is someone that has done something like this before and would do this for me I would be deeply grateful. I just want the "Menu" button to be the "Play" button, and holding "select" and "forward ( > )" for 2 seconds be the new menu button. I understand this is asking for a lot, but then again I am only asking.

AlexP:
Hmmm, I've been playing with this and am having a few problems getting the select + right combo working, mostly because the iPod is so short on buttons that short and long select and right both already do things (although it may well be just my ineptness).  This would be much easy on the other players with more buttons!  Could you have a look and see if there are actions you can sacrifice in each screen such that we can just have fewer overall actions?

I've thought about it, and decided to give up the "Rewind button" and make it the new "Play" button. Thank you very very very very very very very very very very much BigBambi for helping me out.

AlexP:
In all screens?  It is possible to change screens independently, so if it would be easier to make a different key play depending on screen we can do that.  I think it would be useful to think in terms of actions rather than direct keys.  What I mean by that is that long and short press of keys do different things.  Now if in a given screen you only want to do the actions originally associated with long pause and short menu, we could swap long pause to long menu and leave short menu the same (for instance).

e.g.

Short menu - action A
Long menu - action B
Short play - action C
Long play - action D

if you only want to be able to to A and D it could be changed to

Short menu - action A
Long menu - action D

The various swaps could be different in different screens, so if you don't use long select in the WPS, and don't use long menu in the filebrowser, the functionality of play in both could be swapped to the unused key on the relative screen.  Any thoughts?

You are welcome!  It's bedtime for me now, but I'll have a shufti tomorrow.
