I am sure glad I read through the forum before posting my "it doesn't work at all" message. For any Android user, this mode of interaction is a major violation of the principle of least surprise. Any particular reason why things were done this way?
Once I got past this, I was able to get the application to play music on my N1 (first song: Passing Thru by Leonard Cohen). Major cool. Congratulations and thanks for getting this done! Maybe I can begin to worry a little less about what happens when my H340 finally dies.
Has anybody done any investigation into battery life yet?
Thanks,
jon

This is the first touchscreen mode Rockbox got (for other touchscreen targets that came before android), and not every little bit of Rockbox has yet been converted to absolute mode (which you can switch to, with a touchscreen enabled theme as I think the default should be - someone can correct me here). As Rockbox hasn't been released for Android yet, anyone playing with it is doing so "at their own risk", but I can pretty much guarantee that it'll be switched to absolute mode before release.
JdGordon:
Really the only thing it needs to be switched is a touch enabled base skin. Without one then enabling stylus mode would be just as bad for new users as grid mode.
The wps is already touch enabled so there isn't really much to be done. It just needs someone with a tiny but of artistic ability and a button layout that someone can make into a theme.

Congratulation to Rockbox Android port developer. Rockbox work on my first Android device Samsung Galaxy 5, including the database builder! This is the best thing since I bought my phone. Working on Rockbox Motorola EZX port has stopped long time ago, maybe now I have an area to contribute ;D

Hi everybody.................very exciting to find Rb might be available as an app.!!!
I'll try it on my Galaxy too.
................
I read all the thread but could not understand: about the iphone/ipdo touch.............is there any hope of an app in the future?
I now have Rb on an iPod video 5.5gen. & a Mini.
As I'm planning to change my (old) nokia phone..............I was kind of hoping ;) ;) ;)
Many thanks for your work guys,
H.
