Sansa Fuze+

[taxor]

After updating to firmware a122b52 my fuze+ is not playing flacs from SD Card anymore. MP3 from SD it is playing and flacs from internal memory too. If starting from SD card it always freezes instantly.

Older build from a week ago worked fine, especially all these random freezes the fuze+ sometime had were gone with that build. I hate me for done the update today 

With build fbc4ef7-130822 flacs from SD Card are working again. I use a Transcend microSDHC 32GB class 10 card, if that helps.

Try redownloading the build and installing again. Your file got corrupted.

I uninstalled RB and started with a fresh install and all is good. Thanks.

Hi all,

1) after a while we finally got that touchpad disable on keylock.

BE AWARE THAT if you lock your device it will looks like idle until you unlock it back (no more lcd display unless you use volume or power key.
Next I will go on writing some code to have a setting for whether we want only the touchpad to get disable  on lock.

2) ALSO AN IMPORTANT KEYMAPS MODIFICATION that might be annoying to some people is that we had to map the back key to the "back to main menu" action. Normal cancel is still available on the left key as it always was... This was made for consistency reason as main menu is suppose to be a core action. Also the point was to save the two navigation big step in list keys (botton right and left)

with the latest updates, the lag when playing music has disappeared!

scratch that. I must have just been lucky. I charged the thing up and now the problem is as it was before

following the last keymap update with the implementation of the menu key (on the back arrow key) there has been a few screen made unusable (bookmark, recording, EQ). Those have been corrected. Please report any remaining issue.

Hi all,
This is a new release candidate for the bootloader: it will become V2 if nobody reports any new issues. The changes are minimal: slightly faster boot and it should fix some hanging boot issues that happen from time to time. Please feel free to test it and report success/failures.

Success!

I had some problems at first as the Sansa firmware did not "see" the new firmware.sb file after I copied it to device root.  In the end I switched off the player, held down volume button and attached the USB cable so the device was in Sansa's USB mode, not Rockbox's.  Then I copied the firmware again.  The next time I booted into Sansa firmware in playback mode it did update the firmware with the V2 bootloader.

It does boot noticeably faster.

Disabling crossfade seems to prevent the playback lagging on sd card, without needing to boost cpu

Also, flashed the new bootloader successfully. No problems so far!

Updated bootloader and Rockbox: all perfectly functional!
I had a issue sometimes when fuze+ responded very slow, but disappeared now!
Didn't noticed some boot time improvement.

Back key does not seem to work in some places for me (eg. System->Rockbox info). I can use the left key to return, but shouldn't the Back key always return to the main menu ?

[metaphys]

yes this is becaus this menu action immplementation is not very clean... I would see If I can improve that

Do I put the new bootloader file into the rockbox file on the Fuze + or just add to the list of files?

You must boot OF on your fuze+, rename bootloader file to "firmware.sb", copy it to the root folder of your device and reboot it with OF again.
