Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)

[MacDancer]

Firstly, thanks to all of you who've contributed to this project. Rockbox is one of my most used applications.

I have a quick question regarding the homescreen widgets. To what extent are their appearance and layout user editable? Do they use the same font and icons specified in the WPS? I do appreciate the amount of configurability already present, but like many Rockbox users I'm always looking for new things to tinker with so I thought it worth asking.

Thanks!

If you build from source...as customisable as you want it to be.

If not, then you're limited by the options given at widget creation time. Everything else is predefined.

paulheu - I've been using your builds on my Galaxy S for a few months now. Yesterday I upgraded from Froyo (2.2) to Gingerbread (2.3.3) and noticed that since doing that, fade on pause is now working. Just thought I'd mention it. p.s. thanks for the builds and thanks to Rockbox team as ever.

I have a problem with it showing that its playing but the progress bar doesnt move and no sound comes out.  It started after using the widget.  Using paulheu's build.

Edit:  I can mostly get it to work by moving the seek bar.

Those commenting about paulheu's builds should be doing so in his thread in the Unsupported Builds Section...

This thread is for the official Android port (of which there are no builds available, you need to construct your own)

hello rockboxers,

i'm new here. I just installed the rockbox-r29258M-240x400.apk on my samsung i5800. And i have to say it's really great.
The only thing i don't really like is the theme/skin. So my question is: are there custom shemes/skins for android application?
If so where can i download and how can i install.

Thank you in advance

No, there are not.

Everything you'll need to know about theme development is here.

so you need to make the themes by yourselfs?
But did somebody create a custom theme and published it?

No. Rockbox on Android is still considered unusable, so there has no effort been made to collect themes. Search for themes of the same resolution -- the Onda VX747 and VX777 have the same resolution, try those

thank you!!!!

they worked. I'm now using amarok theme. (with custom font and background)

I somewhat disagree on that. The build I do is a build straight from svn. So any bugs/errors/problems people come up with are directly related to the work being done on the Android port. I would expect the developers involved be interested to hear about these issues. Obviously fixing would be upto them if they 'feel like it'.

No matter if it's built from SVN or not, this thread is for the "official" Android app...your build has it's own thread.

EDIT: It's not even for Android specifically, my mistake, but RaaA in general.

Though it has been crowded somewhat, I always understood this thread to be for development news.

Can you name a similar device to Archos 5 IT (480X800)?

[paulheu]

search the theme section..

Hi - I've wanted to contribute a mod to Rockbox for 6 years but have never got my head around C++.
 I can dabble in Java and was wondering if that's all I'd need to attempt to write an auto beat-matching mod I've been after (but never requested) for Rockbox the android app?

That is to say - Is Rockbox the android app a useable Java class?

Thanks.

(Thanks also for my 5 years of Rockbox - 5.5g, e280 & LG optimus.)
