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

Good to hear from you. Of course we'd love to see you get back into rockbox development :)

The basic work to run rockbox as an application is mostly done now thanks to kugel. If someone wants to port to the iphone, they can. Until then, stick with Android.

@saratoga
Thank you for your warm welcome.
@kugel, all
Today I try to build Rockbox Android port on top of Cygwin environment, the "make" and "make zip" command completed successfully but the "make apk" failed. Looks like Java for Windows is less friendly with Cygwin. I just had a little time playing with "cygpath -wp" command, then switched to apache ant, successful! I tried Rockbox on Samsung Galaxy 5, now the D-pad, menu, and back buttons was function but freeze when trying to update the database with message:
* PANIC *
Stkov tagcache
I hope this information is useful for Rockbox Android port developer. Thank you.
JdGordon:
that stkov is a known issue. the database needs to be told to not scan the entire filesystem (or maybe better, we hook android sqlite up instead of tagcache).
blackhawk:
The apk from kugel not have this stkov tagcache problem (at least on Galaxy 5). I will try to set Rockbox to scan /sdcard only.
Just compiled Rockbox 320x240. With a modified layout and manifest xml, now I have Rockbox in landscape mode! Android smart enough to remapping screen and button orientation. Not tested on real device yet but Android 2.2 emulator :)
dip:
On the Samsung Galaxy S the svn version from yesterday does not have the stkov tagcache problem anymore but when building the database rockbox simply freezes after reading about 87000 files (music files are only some hundreds on the device). I have then to kill rockbox in order to be able to run it again.
The database seems to be built "somehow" but not finished. When I try to browse by database after having killed rockbox each track is listed eight times.
Browsing by file structure is no problem.
Since I reported the stkov tagcache problem the first time, I have now rooted my phone. I don't know wheter this is the reason that the problem has changed or if some changes in rockbox source code are the reason that the stkov tagcache problem is no longer present (but has been replace by another problem).
