Start Up

[simplebox]

Hi everyone.  Thanks for reading my post.  I have a question about the startup function.  Is there anyway to make rockbox the secondary device? I have a sansa e260.  I love the box but I'm gonna give it to my mom and I want her to just use the regular version of it.  I still want rockbox on it. 

I tried to do a search but I got a lot of threads not pertaining to this question.  I clicked the faq but at the moment I'm getting "Internal Server Error"

Thanks again.

You need a custom bootloader for that. There is one in the Unsupported Builds forum.

Please keep in mind however that we ask to only ask for support or report bugs with our official bootloader.

Yup, looks like the Wiki's down at the moment.

You could also use the rockbox utility to remove the bootloader before you hand it over to mom, then use it again to re-enable rockbox when you get it back.

It won't touch your rockbox files, so it will be the same once you start booting to it again.

Why not give mom the "full" version of the player running Rockbox?

Maybe I haven't read enough but from what I've seen rock box fonts are kinda small and there aren't any icons.  I don't want my mom to be straining her eyes to see the font..and if i turn the fonts bigger, they'll be too crowded on the screen it seems.

There should be a screen shot section.

There is, it's called the WpsGallery in the wiki.

There are icons, you can change the font and the themes that go with it, etc etc.

You can write your own, or you can look at ones others have done in the WpsGallery as GodEater said.
