Fear Installing RockBox

<< < (3/4) > >>

wintermute23:
In regards to your other question, assuming you get hold of a player for which a port of RockBox exists, I believe there is no more risk installing RockBox than there is upgrading to the latest version of the original manufacturer's firmware. If you decide you don't like it, or suspect it's causing problems, you can delete RockBox completely and it'll be as if it was never installed.

GodEater:
Assuming Rockbox ever gets ported to the 2nd Generation Nano - I don't think we can say currently how safe / unsafe the install is likely to be. We've no clue how we're going to do it, and therefore no way to know how likely that is to render the Nano non-working if it goes wrong.

This is of course though, all speculation ;)

bluebrother:
my usual remarks ...
1. Rockbox is not a product, it's a project.
2. please stop altering the text color. There is no reason for doing it and it can make your posts harder to read ... blue on blue is a bad idea anyway at all.

I thank everyone for the feedback. I read through the iPod nano listing under New Ports. It's amazing to see how much work has been put forth toward this project and everyone who contributed should be commended. I never realized how intricate and complicated the process was; it has been a learning experience for me. From the final two entries it would seem as though there might be some hope. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I believe that from the sheer number of nanos sold a lot of people are probably anxious to see this happen.

Point taken about the font color. I didn't mean to tick anybody off by referring to Rockbox by the wrong nomenclature.

No biggie -- it's mostly just me being picky about it due to the fact that I usually refer to a product if I paid for it and am entitled to receive (paid) support. But as this doesn't apply to Rockbox I somewhat insist on not considering it a product (and honestly, for a product there would be a release required -- and some formalized testing before releasing it ;) )
