Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)

screen swiping is integrated (like for next track or back) - nice touch!

RaaA definitely doesn't do this...I suspect you got confused with grid mode vs. absolute point.

I assigned touch areas basically from top to bottom on my Cabbie3  modified theme, most people swipe left starting in the middle and moving to the left edge of the screen then release at which time the 'previous track' touch area gets triggered..

It was not designed that way, but when you do it fast it feels like a swipe I guess although the action is in fact counter intuitive as swiping left should pull up what's to the right thus playing the next track..

Problems with the latest build on Android.

There is a significant bug that when rockbox launches after closing it ramps up the volume. This is a potential problem as it is damaging my earphones when it starts. Btw the rest of the features now fixed and integrated make this quite amazing. Thanks again.

This is a horrible side-effect of making RaaA use the HW volume keys instead of RaaA's 100%/0db being whatever the maximum Media Volume was set to in Android at the time.

I personally liked having two separate volume controls, but I can live with the way it is now...provided of course that this nasty volume bug gets worked out.

It's *almost* annoying (and potentially damaging) enough to consider reverting until a fix is found.

EDIT:
Hooray! It's fixed now!

Any chance of a new build? Would be appreciated.

There are unofficial builds maintained by the port's lead developer, which are sporadically updated, available here

New build for HTC desire or any 480x800 android device is up here.

[SpeedoJoe]

I'm probably being dumb, but how do you fast forward/rewind with the Android port of Rockbox?

[paulheu]

tap the progress bar?

[SpeedoJoe]

Tried that. Not working for me.

[paulheu]

Works fine for me, at least in the 480x800 build I do myself for my Desire.. using either cabbie v2 or v3 (for v3 only in WPS screen obviously)

[musta susi]

Tried that. Not working for me.

Try long-pressing the left and right edges of your screen or if you're using the Cabbie V2 then tap the "Rockbox"â„¢ sign on the left bottom.

[paulheu]

left and right side of the screen (at least in the cabbie v3 I did) do previous and Next

I put the new builds up, see here

I did 240x320, 320x480 and 480x800 build as requested..

[SpeedoJoe]

I just figured that out a few hours ago. Thanks though.

I recently lost my 5th gen iPod with Rockbox installed on it. Glad it's being developed for Android.

I did the new build for multiple resolutions as requested.. You can find em here
