Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
Rockbox was created because stock DAP firmwares suck, and people like to hack. Native music player apps for android suck, they really suck, they suck really hard. I would consider it an evolution of rockbox, not a reinvention.
Quote Rockbox was created because stock DAP firmwares suck, and people like to hack. Native music player apps for android suck, they really suck, they suck really hard. I would consider it an evolution of rockbox, not a reinvention.+1My sons and I have been using Rockbox for 10+ years, on many different devices. We intuitively understand how it works from a user interface perspective, even as we upgrade devices. Native Android apps don't work the same way, with file/folder access, automatic playlists, and bookmarks.I'd love to see Rockbox on Android grow into an app with a native Android UI that works the way Rockbox always has, regardless of the playback engine. Skinning would be a plus, but honestly Rockbox is still my player of choice in Android with the default build and no skin loaded (could never find Cabbie V2 for 1920x1080 resolution).Thanks to the developer community for everyone's hard work!-- stewartwb
my resolution as given by Meine-Bildschirmaufloesung.de is 480x854.480x800 ddnt work, just had a titlebar saying Rockbox and got stuck. ...
Like said, 540x960 does work just looks like pixel matrix... after pressing randomly a window popped up asking to read music files and later music was running through the software...
Fonts were copied everywhere, copied single font files in all directories of rockbox (maybe 2 or 3) + copied the .rockbox folder (its for non-android, right?)But have no clue how the software would change its display(Fonts) ...
Is 480x854 that uncommon? ...have no clue about smartphones but i think it looks conventional :p
Maybe its just the config file having this 854 number to limitate it?!?!?! ....
Does compiling in this case mean, changing parameters in an existing document? ..then np ofc... m sure there must be more people having a display like this phone here
As I stated, the resolution of the build and the device must match exactly.Because 480x800 != 480x854, this will naturally fail.[Saint]
Correct me where I'm wrong ...
> with android version older than 4.??, the build resolution can be smaller than the device resolution. (you probably pointed that out in the past)
> the build with smaller than device resolution are more likely to work on such device if they were released prior to a given date (=??)
My experience is based on my 3 android smartphones> Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100, android 4.1.2, screen resolution 480x800> Motorola Defy MB525, android 2.2.2, screen resolution 480x854> Huawei Ascend P1 U9200, android 4.0.3, screen resolution 540x960-------------------------
Latest builds> Latest (& any ?) build <rockbox 540x960 ad65f8c 2015-1225.apk> with fonts <35-Adobe-Helvetica.fnt> works on the Huawei except :>> All menus are displayed as text only (no icons)>> WPS menu is not usable : no touch button displayed, no touch button or area working
> Latest build <rockbox 480x800 ad65f8c 2015-1225.apk> does not work on Huawei------------------------
Old builds> OLD (& many) BUILD <rockbox 480x800 v4aa32fb-2013-1023.apk> does work on all : Galaxy, Motorola & Huawei>> All menus are displayed in CABBIES V2 Theme>> WPS menu has all touch buttons & areas working>> Only it works in a reduced part of the screen>>> I guess 480x800 of 540x960 for the Huawei>>> and 480x800 of 480x854 for the Motorola (hardly visible)
Yes I'd rather be able to do whatever is needed to match my build & Huawei screen resolution but it seems far from my skills and of course available time.
Hi,I tried to install rockbox on a Moto E5 ("Surnia"), but it crashes right after start.Screen resolution of the device is 540 x 960 pixels, so I tried to install this binary:http://rasher.dk/rockbox/android/rockbox-540x960.apkI made logfile using logcat during an attempted start of the rockbox app that can be found here:http://pastebin.com/b3VqT5VtCan anyone help me to learn how to get RB to work on my android?I would love being able to use rockbox again so much! Thanks!
If only there were a place you could go that explained how to do this [Saint]
