What build should I use for Sansa e280

(1/1)

Hi

I just got myself an extremely sleek little Sansa, and want to get right on to Rockboxing it.

It's an e280 version1.0 that I bought in the US.

Does anyone have any recommendation on an archived build I should use, or is one much like another?

Many thanks

What's wrong with the current build (as linked from the sidebar)?

That is always the recommended build to use, as it is the most up-to-date.

I'm slightly (extremely slightly) worried that instabilities may have crept into the current build that have not been picked up on yet.  There may be an archived build known to be particularly stable.

I've already gone ahead with the current build, but it never hurts to ask.

Llorean:
All versions currently available are essentially "testing" versions. Daily snapshots of the work in progress, or the bleeding edge. Statistically speaking, any one build is probably equally likely to be unstable. That being said, "current build" is less likely to have the more glaring bugs, simply because if a change introduces a major problem, usually it gets fixed within a few hours, if not less. If that major problem lands on a daily, well then, that daily will always have it, while the current build goes on changing with each update.

Until there's a "release", there's really no officially sanctioned "this one is more stable than the others" version, since we tend to look at what we need to fix or improve now, rather than what it was like yesterday or last week.
