Here, delete the .playlist_control file reduces the crash frequency. I'm guessing that is just because the frequency is generally sensitive to state of the storage. Once I've got the storage in a state that gives 100% crash, a change of state of the storage that has any effect can only reduce it below 100%.

Sounds wise, esp. since it seems to be obstructing reboot. Perhaps it is crashing the device silently (without an Abort report), thereby killing Power button service.
But I'd be interested to know: what effect does standby aim for other than just turning off backlight?
pamaury:
Standby has nothing to do with backlight: it turns the lcd off to save power. You cannot see the difference since backlight is off.
I found the bug which causes the crash, it is not related to the ZEN. We have a pending patch under review, it should be comitted soon.

Well done! I'll watch for the commit.

Thanks for reviving my tired Zen, the SD card integrates perfectly into the database which is just what I was looking for. I am having two display issues though, on all screens the background is displaying vertical lines in dim colored dots. The WPS now playing screen is not formatted, all the info is there but the theme (CabbieV2) is not applied. Alternate fonts and some themes seem to work well on the menu screen but even applying failsafe or default icons can cause "Data abort at 60050298". Great work so far, looking forward to getting the kinks worked out.

Which version? I'm using RB Version ...-131119 on an 8GB ZEN.

I see similar, but only after standby.

FWIW, all those features work fine here.
