Delete Menu entries

[bobi]

Hey,

is it possible to delete menu entries (for example "Database") - if yes, howto?


thanks & nice weekend =)

[bluebrother]

no, you can't do that.

Not without editing the source code then compiling anyway

I'm slowly having a go at a patch for this, although I don't think my proposed method meets with general approval :-)

If I get anywhere I'll pop it up though.

What player are you using?

If you didn't want the database at all, it would be much better to do a build with it disabled than to just turn the menu entry off, you'd save all the memory it requires

Just open up:

firmware/export/config-your_target_name.h

and remove the line "HAVE_TAGCACHE".

Then compile and you won't get a database option.

the thing is, that i don't have linux + that i just have the vs compiler from microsoft.

i think it would be a big deal to do all that 

but thanks anyway for all the reps!

@seani, i use a nano 2g

cheers.

You dont need to install Linux, or use the VS compiler from microsoft. To develop for rockbox, you need to:

Set up a build environment for rockbox. Since you are a windows user, I would recommend using Cygwin. For that see: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CygwinInstallWithScreenShots to install Cygwin. Its not to complicated.

After you install Cywin, you will want to give http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SimpleGuideToCompiling a look at. This has all the information about getting the source code, creating the .patch/.diff file and how to compile the source.

Also see http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DocsIndex#For_Developers as it has links to a couple other wiki pages that may be helpful.

An alternative to Cygwin is to use the VMware environment (which to me performs better) http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/VMwareDevelopmentPlatform

Why performs better??
Is there any problem to compile Roxbox with Cygwin on Windows?

Both work, but builds complete more rapidly with VmWare.

Ah
Ok thx

Because Cygwin is dog-slow. This is a Cygwin issue.

Is VMware any better regarding the initial cross-compiler stuff?

In CygWin ../tools/rockboxdev.sh takes a million years to complete, but at least it's done for you right?

Fairly new to Cygwin, and haven't tried VMware at all, it seems to be a personal opinion thing as I've found threads/posts from both camps saying either one is "better" than the other for whatever reason....

Was wondering whether or not that's actually the case...they both get the job done, just in slightly differing ways no?

Yes, vmware is faster.
