Been searching for reasons why an update won't work, you need to uninstall rockbox before you can install a newer version. sofar have not found anything useful..
After being active on the iRiver H3x0 port years back it's good to be here again.. looks like RB has been getting better and better..
Oh and as it seems this is more and more about the android app instead of 'general' rockbox as an app maybe it's an idea to change the thread title .. or start a new one..

hey thanks for the Build for desire, i tried the build out somehow it creates multiple duplicate entries for the database say 2 entries per track any idea how to fix this
it good progress btw was wating on this one, used an iRiver h10 earlier
paulheu:
Right now the build seems hardly usable. While it seems to work it's obvious up until now Rockbox has been developed with devices having smaller resolution screens in mind. Obviouslythis is fine by itself and I fully expect this to improve as hopefully skins will show up which are suited for these resolutions.
In my opinion it would be nice to see the skinning engine be optionally auto-scaling to the LCD resolution. As it is you would have to create a separate skin for each separate screenresoluton which could well be a nightmare. IMO the processing power of smartphones could well allow for such a scling enige or maybe a stand alone utility which would prepare a skin for the desires resolution..
As we all know this port is far from done. I hope to find soem time in the near future to try and get soe work in expecially on the skinning part..
JdGordon:
as has been said numerous times, trying to scale the images would look crap. the viewports and all text tags already scale properly.
We should be using a single android build which loads the correct theme for the display but that is a different story

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

Got it, and got audio... 2 little questions, and sorry if these were covered elsewhere previously (i did check);
1) how do you.. um.. exit the application when you want to close it?
2) how can I get it to install onto the SDcard? If I install it in the phone memory it takes up every last ounce of (already-limited) space, and won't do for the long-run.
Thanks!!

I worked on the plugin keymaps for the android port all night long FS#11898 it probably wont work with the auto resizing thing you are doing but someone may enjoy it. Cheers
