Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)

[paulheu]

That was my first try.. and does not work, finds the .cfg file, not the stuff in /sdcard/rockbox/wps (no icons and no touch areas, the 'failsafe' wps comes up). Come to think of it, it does find the icons, although I need to check if they (the RaaA version) are in the main archive.

Could it be I merely stumbled onto a bug then.. or a typo.. ;^)

[JdGordon]

more likely a typo in your wps

[paulheu]

Then why would the wps load fine when I add it to the build zipp before making the apk?

If I install the theme separately it finds the themes/*.cfg, the icons and fonts. It seems to not find the .wps and .sbs file

[JdGordon]

I dont know but you defintly stuffed something up... if you have /sdcard/rockbox setup correctly it will work.

[paulheu]

I have the theme up on http://paulgeluid.nl/apps/rockbox_android/cabiev3_480-800.zip

If this is included in the build zip the theme works fine, if I copy the contents of the .rockbox folder in the archive to /sdcard/rockbox I get the background, font and icon but not the remaining gfx, the touchareas do not work either.

Maybe I am missing something here, but this used to work as I recall.

tx for any hints/help.

edit: seeing today's patch in svn I guess I wasn't crazy after all..

What commit are you referring to exactly?

[paulheu]

My bad. kinda misread the patchtracker on the frontpage. However, somehow after installing the new build and re-installing on my desire (again) the theme is working as it should...

Dunno what changed, but it works so who cares :^)

Thanks, paulheu. I downloaded the files from your server (http://paulgeluid.nl/apps/rockbox_android) and rockbox installs fine and runs on EVO 4G. sometimes looks like it's playing but there's no sound. other times it works just fine. screen swiping is integrated (like for next track or back) - nice touch!

[paulheu]

tx, I have actually asked the guy who designed the main skin for the DJ software DEX to shine his light over a theme suitable for larger screens.

He's looking into this. with additions made possible with the latest extensions of the theme engine. No word on when and who or what, but we'll see.

I have installed rockbox on my galaxy s, but how can I install the theme? Or any theme for that matter.
I have tried several file managers, but none of them can't even see any rockbox files. Except for a rockbox dir on my SD card, but that only contains a cfg file (which doesn't seem to have any parameters in), a nvram.bin and several database_?.tcd's. I doubt the theme should be installed under that, does it?

Any help would be great.

Is your phone rooted? 

[tcm1998]

No, it's not (yet)

[[Saint]]

Your phone being rooted or not has nothing to do with installing themes.

To install a theme/font/config file/whatever you use the directory /sdcard/rockbox/

So fonts go in sdcard/rockbox/fonts/
WPS files in sdcard/rockbox/wps
and so on...

The sdcard/rockbox/ is essentially the same as the .rockbox directory you might be used to in the root directory of a Rockbox'ed DAP

I compiled a version for the Motorola Xoom, and added one theme (a very BAD theme, I might add - I am not good at theming at all - I borrowed another Cabbie based theme and tried to expand it to fit the screen better).

Info with link:   http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?/topic/16084-app-functional-rockbox-port/

I know that the theme could be much better in the right hands, but it was good enough just to get it up and running.   The difference in SQ using this versus their stock player is like night and day.

800*1280? grr... yet another size to work with
