Rockbox Development > New Ports
Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)
AlexP:
Guys, this is a thread for development, not support or general comments. When the port is further advanced, support questions will belong in the main forums, but not yet. Please stick to development only. I'll go through and prune this topic soon.
Spoonman:
hey guys, just found out that you are porting rockbox to android and have instantly seen that there are some major problems...
this is why i strongly suggest the devs of this port to join xda developers, post about the port and what rockbox is in
Android Software Development Section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=524
and get helped by the most vibrant and qualified dev comunity that exists for android devices.
Nice Greets Spoonman

Rockbox isn't really an evangelical project. We don't go out to various places and say "you guys should really help us" or anything. We generally depend on interested developers finding us and choosing to contribute (or not) as they see fit.
That being said, if there's a question that needs the resources at XDA I'm sure the appropriate developers will go there and search or ask, but it's not the habit of this project to encourage development discussion off-site, as it makes it much harder for new developers to see what's going on if discussion is split.
Were there any specific Android problems you felt the XDA developers were likely to be able to help with, or were you just generally advertising the site?

http://jdgordon.info/rockbox/rockbox.apk needs testing... it's just about svn and a patch to make rockbox figure out the lcd size on load instead of having to need one apk for each phone.
so test it out and let me know any issues which weren't happening before.
That apk requires a sdcard because it extracts a bunch of files there, you probably want to clear the data in the android app settings for rockbox so you can reclaim about 15MB

Hey Everybody I cross compiled LibSDL for my YP-R0 and it upgraded fine I also cross compiled rockbox as Application with lcd size 240*320. works fine under my linux but I didn't figure out 2 things:
1. how can I make fullinstall besides my regular linux path but instead in my rootfs of the player? where can I set the option where fullinstall goes too.
2.

this error I get on the player, my rootfs are almost completly read only using cramfs only /tmp folder has very limited space for rw. Is there a way I can redirect all the calls to NAND 8GB flash only?
I couldn't figure out where it is set.
Update
Ok I got around read/write erros now having the follwing error left:
--- Code: ---/mnt/media0/yp-r0/rockbox: line 1: syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
--- End code ---
What could be the reason?
