Rockbox Development > New Ports
Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)
gama:
@Bilgus, I am reading the blog you posted and he/she did manage to get rockbox running on an Android 10 device to some extent (haven't read everything carefully and I don't have an Android 4 device to compare). Following his blog I have managed to build the apk and successfully opened rockbox on Android 7.0. If you or someone else is interested I could try to write a patch once I have merged all the changes from the blog. For me it is very important because I want to use rockbox in a modern Walkman or Ibasso player to listen to some chiptune music :).
I will try to contact him to see if he is interested in submitting the patch to the tracker himself.

Hi, could you upload the apk, I'd like to see if it works on my android devices. That would be great if you could submit a patch here as well. Is this apk something that one could compile in a linux os?

I am working on implementing all the changes hp30 has done. Once I have tested all of them i will try to contact him and ask him about it.
Yes, you can compile it in linux No need for Android Studio. I am using debian through WSL2. I am using latest android-sdk (apt-get install android-sdk), the linux command line tools (https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line) to install platform 19 through sdkmanager. And ndk version r10e (https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Unsupported-Downloads).
And followed the instructions found in rockbox/android/README.

Hi, just a heads up! I have uploaded two patches to run (to some extent) rockbox on newer android devices.
I cannot take apk requests cuz I am too busy. But you can read about it here: https://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/13339
Well, see ya. Hope someone is still interested in this :).
UPDATE: As of commit 6dcbf7ff77b0596c3317a76097e8b0c1c2f8158a, there is a floating point error when pressing volume buttons.
