Simplyfying Rockbox for Sansa; How hard would this be?

(1/2) > >>

jacksoncougar:
In short I want to rewrite Rockbox so that:

it plays most common audio files

when you press the middle button of the sansa the player should play a randomly selected song from the "music" folder

another press skips ahead to another song.

A long press will pause the current song.

The scroll wheel will remain volume control.

The power button will become a quick 2 second on/off.

I want to know what the actual time and effort would be required to do this.

AlexP:
What other formats do you need than those rockbox already plays?

To change the keymap, you need to edit the code then compile.  Set up a dev environment, then look at /apps/keymaps/your-target.c  It is pretty easy to edit the keymap, then compile and away you go.

jacksoncougar:
No more formats really; mp3 audio will be almost all I ever use.

I wanted to know would it be easy to make it start-up and do nothing.

Then when the middle key is pressed it automatically plays a random song.

My LCD is broken so that should help you visualize my goal with this edit.

Just don't enable the "resume playback on startup" setting.

You can alter your settings by editing .rockbox/config.cfg by hand.

Have you tried the voice interface? A rockboxed sansa is actually very nice even without LCD.
