Rockboxed Sansa M240V4..Issues but seems close..

(1/3) > >>

cpnfantstk:
I am one of the few  people who have actually installed rockbox on the M240V4.  I know it is unsupported and considered unusable because of its playback crashing and low volume. I would like to help in some way to at least get playback stable. I have no dev or code experience but I can test the unit when patches or new builds are created and report bugs.

 I know there is few that have interest in this particular unit but considering that menu navigation, the radio , and playback of the codecs I tried (flac,mp3 @ low volume, high volume crashes unit) work, it seems worth it to get the m200v4 series a stable release.

Any suggestions on how I can contribute would be appreciated. Thanks to Funman and others for whats been done so far. :)

I think it's a pretty good occasion to jump on the boat and get a coding/dev experience.

So the only suggestion which comes to my mind is : learn about C and start looking in the code

Maybe you can also find other people with an Sansa m200 interested in improving the port. If you e.g. know a forum or something you could try and gather some interest?

saratoga:
Whats the highest volume it can do without crashing?  Does it always crash at the same level?

cpnfantstk:
The volume level I can reach is -8db without the unit shutting down and yes Saratoga always at the same level. However, the volume is fairly low for that setting . Its audible but quite low. I am using the 6/12/09 build (r23879). I have tried newer builds such as may15th/10 and a build from a few days ago but the screen is not shown fully. Only one line and its hard to navigate that way. Regardless of the build I have used , the screen view is not optimal(but better with the older r23879). Some things are cut off or as I mentioned only one line.  USB is working fine now with the newer builds ( no holding the left button).

Kind of wonder why the clip does not have the same issue with playback since I read here that M200v4 and Clip is virtually the same except for cosmetic differences. If there is anything else I can report. Let me know.
