Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)

[GodEater]

As far as I'm aware, apart from the one [Saint] has done, there are *zero* themes for 480x800. So it's not surprising none of the ones you tried worked.

Today the screen went blank.  I was playing around with the hard lock, but then I undid the lock and found the screen blank.  I had to go into settings->applications and forcibly shut it down.

I really hope Rockbox for Android can come out a 480*272 build,as many chinese jokebox factories produce such devices with android 2.3.Now,I only can run 240*320 build,It's very uncomfortable.

[paulheu]

create a skin for that size and compile the code..

Playback does not work for me on lg optimus 2x (progress bar does not move, no sound except poping) same issues on stock rb, pauls custom build on stock rom and cyanogen mod 7

Is there anything i can do to help diagnose the issue?

On a similar, but different note, I noticed that often playback will fail on my HTC desire. WHen I start a track it will play a amal blurb, probably what's in te buffer and it's silence from there, the UI stays active and everything works except no sound. The only way out is to force stop the application (shut down does not actually completely stop RockBox from running!)

Post Merge: August 27, 2011, 08:25:15 AMCould we please have a placeholder file called .nomedia in the rockbox folder on the sdcard? this will prevent the android media scanner from adding theme images and album art to the gallery..

thank you..

That sounds like your build, my friend....its working fine here.
Also, you're aware that you're not supposed to be reporting issues that you've not confirmed on a clean build, right? Of course, this isn't possible for you to confirm on a clean build, because there *is* no shut-down in svn for RaaA and almost certainly never will be

I know.. but the same happens with a clean daily build.. It does not happen always oddly enough..

[Philip]

just tried the oldest build i could find (r29085) and playback works fine I guess a recent change to either codec or volume handling has caused this issue (this build has independent volume control for rb)

UPDATE: I started installing newer builds to see where the problem started but got to the latests builds and they now work fine. Very strange. Has something been left out of recent builds that by installing an old build is left behind?

Working fine now at any rate, time to get theming

Nope, not possible.

800x480 - Landscape

Themes are to be placed in:

/mnt/sdcard/rockbox/themes/

.WPS and .SBS files in:

/mnt/sdcard/rockbox/wps/

Icons in:

mnt/sdcard/rockbox/icons/

Hi.
I took one of my 320x240 Cowon D2-themes and resized it to 800x480.

So if you use the landscape version (800x480) of rockbox you simply have to unpack the zip file to the root of your SD-card. I included the rockbox.cfg file as well to make it easier to browse to the theme.

The theme is (just as the D2 theme) completely designed for the absolute point mode. So it is really easy to navigate through the menus.
Try it and give some feedback.

The original theme and all descriptions can be found here:
http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=1146&target=cowond2

The daily Android build can be found here:
http://rasher.dk/rockbox/android/

Download of AF_SqueezeWVGA (800x480 theme):

Enjoy it.

By the way: is there a way to upload it to the theme site or are there only the known devices allowed?

Only "supported" devices.

With build version "r29590M-110316" everything is okay on the Nexus S. But with every new version only about 40% of the screen size is used.

I took screenshots. The first one pictures what it looks like with "r29590M-110316", the other one shows the newest build of rasher.

The latter is how it *should* look...no idea what on earth you did to achieve the effect in the first screenshot.
It looks as though you're using a font with a ridiculous ascent/descent value.

EDIT: If you want a "proper", full-touch theme for RaaA on Android please think about using my RaaA Theme Candidate (updated with reasonable frequency) from the tracker.

Thank you for your fast reply! - But I hope that's a joke. The latter is hardly usable with a touchscreen.

I didn't use any effect, I'm quite sure the developer of the version of the first screenshot did intent to use the full screen size in order to make rockbox usable on touchscreens.

Tried it. Looks quite cool - but even 48-cabbiev2-[regular] is still to small for reasonable touchscreen usage in my point of view.
