How can I make the OF the primary boot?(In other words load first)

Felliph3:
I want to turn on my Sansa250 using the regular OF by just pressing power instead of having to hold left. That way when I want to use Rockbox I can just hold left. So how do I go about doing that? Thank you.

saratoga:
Check and see if theres an a modified bootloader for your player in the "unsupported builds" subforum.  If not, you'll need to modify the bootloader yourself.

This question is asked simply out of curiosity.
What is it that you prefer about the original Sansa firmware?

That should do what you want.

I love Rockbox and the OF. They both have severe pros and cons but in the end, OF seems to have the edge.

Rockbox has HORRIBLE menu navigation.

I mean, when you press the power button twice on the OF no matter what screen youre in that will take you to the "now playing" screen. Very useful to go there quick to lower the volume or see the track info.... On Rockbox you pause the song if you press it twice. How about when you want to go to your songs list, it shows it form the beggining, the OF automatically highlights the song youre playing. Also I have all the vids in there that rockbox wont play unless i put em all in again and i dont feel like doing that. Also the recording feature on rockbox sucks, on the OF you just press the record button on the side and it records and you can pause or stop and it asks if you want to save. On rockbox you have to go through your files to find the recordings and sometimes you go into record mode by mistake and you dont want it to save it. Rockbox doesnt ask if you want to save.

I do like the fact that rockbox plays pretty much any song though, even the ones  that arent playable in the OF because i dont have track info put in.
One day I will compile a through list of bad things about Rockbox.
