Rockbox Development > New Ports
Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)
pondlife:
Is there any chance that the Rockbox UI could use the Android menus?
I briefly tried it on my Galaxy S2, but the initial font is so small as to make the menus almost unusable with my fat fingers. I tried to edit config.cfg to compensate but in my n00bness I couldn't work out the paths required (e.g. where does /sdcard fit into this?).
I'd like to help with RaaA development - especially getting Rockbox to stream from a remote server (buffering using the local storage to improve use with a slow phone network)... any year now I may get the time!

I'm working on a "nice" default theme, honest!
I've got the bulk of the code/images done, and the rest is figuring out a wee quirk with a particular skin tag, and figuring out a sane way to do a particular effect I'm trying to achieve with some nice popup tabs.
Blah...blah...real life stuff, been busy, <insert other various excuses here>...
I will make an effort to get theme two theme resolutions I have done presently polished (240X320 and 480X800), as well as getting the images done for the rest (320X480 & Co.) in the very near future when some time opens up for me. At which time I will be opening a new thread in the Themeing and Customization sub-forum for testing and opinions.
I know I've fallen off the theme wagon lately, and I'm starting to not deserve my artists badge as much as I perhaps did in the past...but, I'll try to make it up to you all soon, promise ;)

dip:
It would be great to have a UI that uses the possibilities of the Android UI. I switch at the moment between Rockbox and Winamp for Android which has in my opinion a very nice UI but is far away from the countless possibilities Rockbox has.
All Android music player I tested lack e.g. on the (for me) important feature to use ALBUMARTIST for browsing or even to create a complex browse structure like it is possible in Rockbox (e.g. Classical -> Composer -> Grouping -> Artist -> Track for classical music). The reason seems to be that all Android music player use the standard Android tag library which is very limited. Only Rockbox does the scanning by itself which creates much more freedom for browsing.
But I have to admit that browsing by albums including seeing album art or the way how you can switch between the now playing screen and the current playlist and thousand other UI things which can e.g. Winamp handle would be very nice to have also in Rockbox.

Sorry to bring this up again.... but... I am having great success with using rockbox on my galaxy tab, even though the screen resolution is not properly built for it. I may think about building an apk for the 1024x768 resolution. So don't discount that resolution just because there isn't an 'optimal' ui for it yet, the current UI is quite usable.
I would like to thank you guys for your hard work as it's hard to find a decent lossless player for android.
