How can I save my ROCKbox settings on exit?

Chronon:
Does it give you a message telling you this (e.g. Cleared) or not?  I'm wondering if you're doing something to cause the settings to be cleared at startup.

No I don't get any such message. It just doesn't want to save any of my settings on exit.

bascule:
Check if you have a file called config.cfg in /.rockbox? This is the automatically saved settings file.

If so, post the contents here, then delete the file and then see if it starts saving settings correctly.

Here it is:

# .cfg file created by rockbox r15351-071028 - http://www.rockbox.org

I also have all these files in the .rockbox root dir:

.glyphcache
.playlist_control
BigKeys.kbd
config01.cfg
database_0.tcd
database_1.tcd
database_2.tcd
database_3.tcd
database_4.tcd
database_5.tcd
database_6.tcd
database_7.tcd
database_8.tcd
database_changelog.txt
database_idx.tcd
nvram.bin
rockbox.mi4
rockbox-info.txt
tagnavi.config
viewers.config


Are all these files needed?


Also, I deleted the file config.cfg as you suggested, then booted in and set my theme, powered down, and when I powered back up it still didn't save the theme, loaded into the ROCKbox default theme with no saved settings.

bascule:
Well, as you can see, the config file appears to be working OK (in the sense that it contains some non-default settings that presumably match settings you have made).

The paths also look OK for the WPS etc.

Is it just the WPS theme that appears to not be being saved? Does it definitely display in the WPS when you set it initially?

Do you get the 'Saving Settings' splash when you shut down (not a surefire diagnostic, as that may appear and disappear quicker than you can see it)?

And yes, all those other files are required (with the possible exception of rockbox.mi4, but that will not affect your problem).

All in all, it seems to me to be more of a theme problem - does the theme require a custom build? Are you in fact running a custom build?
