Thanks Ted! I love the long press home as WPS hotkey too. Your build is far more intuitive that the standard build -  I was getting annoyed at having to press multiple buttons to get back to the WPS from certain places. Pretty new to Rockbox but many thanks - this makes it much better for me :)

Will you be posting your builds on the same thread?

I agree, the standard keymapping on the clip is unintuitive. In my view it should always be easy to get back to the WPS (without having to look at the screen or pressing 2 buttons at the same time).

I'll make another build in the next few weeks (including all the recent changes to SD card access) and post it to the same forums.

Sorry for bringing up an old topic.

But is a recompile and build the only way to achieve this?

As a second best I would accept if you were able to move the <All tracks> and <Random> to the bottom of the lists.

It's much more intuitive to keep pressing forward repeatedly to get to the first album then the first song of that album. (Not the first song of <all tracks> as is the case)

Thanks in advance!
John.

I can't believe I'm still subscribed to this thread almost two years later...

This "feature" really annoys me too. What device do you want this compiled for? I'll post the .zip.  ;)

I have a Sansa Clip+ as well! I guess this gives me an excuse to update.

Amazing! Thanks a million.

Although I've never manually installed before, I just used the Rockbox Utility. I'm trying to make sense of http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SansaAMS#Installation but do I need to do all these steps if I'm using your .zip and if I already have a successful Rockbox installation on the Clip+?

Thanks again and sorry for the newbness!

Just unzip it to the root of your device. Make sure to overwrite everything if it prompts you. You're just replacing the .rockbox folder.

I do. However, it's quite large (329 MB). I can compile it for a specific device if you'd like.

That's not the point. This is a matter of GPL compliance. You shouldn't distribute builds without matching source (unless you go for the written offer valid for at least three years route)

The diff is probably just a few hundred bytes, so you should include it with the binary.

That's what I thought but I didn't want to risk owning a brick! (Or in the Clip+'s case - a pebble!)

Thanks a million again Mirrors.

I apologize for my non-compliance.

For GPLv2, the source code offer is fulfilled only with physical media.

I guess that's out of the question. See my original post.

FWIW, its strongly preferred to post a patch, since its smaller and *much* easier for other people to understand what you changed.
