Rockbox Development > Feature Ideas
Pause & adjust volume when locked?
Llorean:
Considering it's physically impossible for Rockbox to make a player accept AAAs, that's pretty much irrelevant here.
Please stick to things that are actually on-topic to these forums.

Sorry, of course I had no expectation of that being an option, it was just part of pining for features no longer available anywhere. Won't happen again.
Jd, so it could be done huh? That's interesting. Unfortunately I'm not much of a coder, more of a mech E. How does this whole thing work? Do I need to support my idea by getting more people advocating it? Or is this about all I can do and I am done?

Yes, its a software hold switch, so you can make it do anything you want.

Making the hold switch do something completely different then be a hold switch is never going to be accepted into SVN, so theres no hope of getting support for it. However, its physically possible for you to make the changes yourself to the source code.

then you need to find someone who is a "coder" and how likes the idea... although, as saratoga said, its very unlikely to be accepted into the main source, but that doesnt stop you using it in a custom build

Well, letting the volume still work and making all buttons "pause" isn't "completely different than being a hold switch", is it?
But I'd be almost as happy with the other option I described in my OP: "remapped mode with volume operational, and ALL the buttons "pause" buttons. It would need some mode gateway in and out like a sustained press of multiple buttons." Disabling all the buttons but PAUSE would do it too, as long as the gateway in and out is doable.
I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start on doing this myself. The last time I programmed was 25 years ago in an intro to Fortran course! Am I wrong in assuming there's a pretty steep learning curve here? While I hesitate to downplay other people's skill sets I do occasionally find certain crafts to be easier than the popular view. How does one go at this?
