Then please put it on the wiki.

The only issues I have is a poor battery life and if I shutdown with the phones (PC speakers) plugged in the 1620 restarts itself.  I cant say what the plugins are like as I don't use them on this player.

To install and to put anything onto the player it has to be connected to the PC using "service mode"  (method 1)   http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/GoGearHDD6330
Compile Rockbox for 1620/30/35
 http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SimpleGuideToCompiling
Once you get the .rockbox file compiled open it and take the FWImage.ebn file and place it in the System folder (not the "_System" folder) of your player.   ** The System folder is a hidden file so make sure your operating system is set to show it  **.
The FWImage.ebn file will overwrite the original firmware file meaning dual boot is not possible but Rockbox is far superior than the Philips firmware plus there is only 6GB of space.

If anyone can improve on what I said please do.

This needs to be put on the Wiki but what I've said is very brief.

Michael.

You wouldn't be willing to upload your .rockbox folder for the 1635 would you? And also the bootloader file?

MartyLK:
Thank you for your help in this.

I am having trouble with the install. It seems the boot-up into RB is occurring because I see the RB logo but it gives a "Fine not found" error. I put the FWImage.ebn file in the System folder. I then put these:

common.o
main-pp.o
show_logo.o

into the root of the DAP and also tried putting them into the System folder. Neither worked. I put the .rockbox folder into the root of the DAP and then also the System folder. No success either way.

The current SVN build is available here:
http://build.rockbox.org/data/rockbox-hdd1630.zip

Unzip this to the root directory of your player (first, you should probably delete any existing .rockbox directory first).

Since you seem to be the only one who knows how the GoGear port actually works, would you mind putting install directions on the wiki?  Once thats done I think the GoGear could be released (unstable).
